I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

A new day has come.

Ji Cheng returned home from the outside.

Tom: "..."

Derek: "..."

They are dumbfounded!

As a gold medal bodyguard, especially Tom, who is an expert in anti-reconnaissance, the two of them slept next to Ji Cheng last night and did not find anyone out. They all doubted their own level!

"Is Miss Lawson here?"

Ji Cheng asked as he walked in.

When he came inside, he saw Cheng Jianjun, Zheng Chun and others gathered around the table reading newspapers.

As the security chief who directly communicated with Ji Yi, Tom replied: "She hasn't come to work yet, and she is expected to arrive around eight o'clock."

"it is good."

Ji Cheng said something, then looked at Cheng Jianjun, Zheng Chun and the others with a smile and said, "What newspaper are you reading?"

Cheng Jianjun turned his head to look over and said with a smile, "The New York Times."

Zheng Chun added, "Ji Sheng, your influence is too great. The "New York Times" praised you so much."

"Oh?" Ji Cheng said with interest, "Give me a look."

Zhou Cheng handed over the newspaper casually, "It said that you are the most powerful man of the year."

Ji Cheng took it and took a look, sure enough.

The "New York Times" published a photo of him when he held a share transfer signing ceremony at Columbia Pictures, with the caption "Oriental Silver Lion Enters the Film and Television Industry: Favored by Financial Giants".

The title is very common, but the content below it can make Ji Cheng blush when he read it.

Why Ji Cheng is so powerful in the financial industry, he must be able to block and kill gods and Buddhas when he enters the film and television industry. He punched Time Warner and kicked Universal Pictures, as if Ji Cheng had already succeeded.

"Brother Ji, we will go back tomorrow." Xiao Zhang said suddenly.

Ji Cheng was taken aback for a moment, "So fast?"

Zhou Chengdao: "I've been here for seven or eight days. Director Lin and the others went back two days ago. We played for two more days, and it's almost time to go back."

Originally, it was good for everyone to come over and entertain and play together.

In the end, because I was busy with many things, I didn't play with them at all.

Ji Cheng couldn't help feeling a little guilty, but he was busy shorting soybean futures again today, so he still didn't have time to play with everyone, so he apologized: "You have been here for so many days, and I haven't accompanied you to visit New York. Next time when I'm free..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jianjun waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, we all know that you have a big business, so it's only natural that you're busy."

Zheng Chun also smiled and said: "Isn't that right, my old man is also very busy all day long. As a son, I can't see him very much. Your current business scale is even bigger than my father's. It's normal to be busy."

If Ji Cheng hadn't acquired Columbia Pictures, he would have been almost there.

But today's Huajin Capital is not much different in scale, but lacks core industries. There is no way around this. The core industries of investment management companies are basically insurance and trust, and it takes time to slowly accumulate customers.

Just as Ji Cheng was about to say something, he suddenly thought of one thing, that Zheng Chun's father seemed to have a good relationship with Hang Seng Bank all along.

Thinking of this, he exchanged some pleasantries with everyone, and then said: "Brother Zheng, can we chat for a while in private?"

Zheng Chun said without hesitation, "OK."

Cheng Jianjun, Zhou Cheng and the others knew that Ji Cheng must have something important to chat with Zheng Chun privately, so they continued to read the newspaper without disturbing them.

Ji Cheng and Zheng Chun came to the garden outside the house.

He looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then said softly: "May I ask, what is the relationship between Uncle Tong and Hang Seng Bank?"

Zheng Chun didn't understand why Ji Cheng asked such a question, but he still answered truthfully: "He has always had a good relationship with Hang Seng Bank. Even though HSBC acquired Hang Seng Bank in [-], he and Hang Seng and HSBC still maintain a good enough relationship." As you know, my old man is one of the richest people in Xiangjiang, any bank will give me face."

Ji Cheng didn't say anything immediately, but asked again, "I remember HSBC is a British company, right? Who are their shareholders?"

The largest shareholder of HSBC was China Ping An, followed by BlackRock, Vanguard Group, etc., but now Wall Street financial institutions such as BlackRock and Vanguard Group are not as powerful as they were later, and their hands should not reach HSBC. It was also because of the involvement of a group of Wall Street financial institutions in HSBC that HSBC later framed Huawei for a series of incidents.

Zheng Chun blinked and said, "Don't you know that in the beautiful country? The Mellon family is the largest shareholder of HSBC secretly."

Disappointed, Ji Cheng said, "That's it, forget it."

The relationship between the Mellon family and the Rockefeller family is really good.

Ji Cheng originally wanted to use HSBC to make a move, but he didn't expect that the largest shareholder of HSBC was the Mellon family, which had a close relationship with the Rockefeller family. If he approached HSBC, wouldn't it be the same as sending secrets to his door?

Zheng Chun seemed to have guessed something, and he asked, "Ji Sheng, let me ask a question, do you want to borrow a bank loan or do some confidential things?"

Ji Cheng hummed, "There is one thing I haven't told you all about, that is, the Rockefeller family and I are in the same boat. I originally wanted to use the relationship between your father and HSBC Bank to operate, but HSBC Bank secretly The Long family is in control..."

Zheng Chun laughed, "Heung Kong not only has the strength of HSBC, but also Standard Chartered Bank."

Ji Cheng was taken aback for a moment, "Standard Chartered?"

"Yes." Zheng Chun slowly explained: "The largest shareholders of Standard Chartered Bank are Qiu Deba, Bao Yugang and Australian businessman Robert Holmes. You may not know Qiu Deba. His ancestral home is Hu Jianxia. He later became a Singaporean citizen and is now the richest man in Singapore. He has always had a good relationship with us in Xiangjiang. Bao Yugang is from Ningbo, Zhejiang. He is very influential in Xiangjiang and has always been a patriot. Come back, and Huo Yingdong, Cao Guangbiao and others also have good shares in Standard Chartered Bank, so it can be said that the current Standard Chartered Bank is controlled by Chinese and Chinese, if you have something to ask Standard Chartered, you will not leak the news."

Ji Cheng slapped his head. That's right, the current Standard Chartered Bank has not been involved by Wall Street financial institutions. If he wants to operate a wave without letting the Rockefeller family and its related consortia know, Standard Chartered Bank is the first choice.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Zheng, I have a big deal to deal with recently, can you recommend Bao Yugang to me?"

Without thinking about it, Zheng Chun said, "I'll go back and let Laodou come forward."

Ji Cheng was overjoyed. He was about to say a few words of thanks when he suddenly thought of something, "You just said that the actual control of HSBC is the Mellon family, right?"

"Yes." Zheng Chun nodded.

Ji Cheng had a hazy plan in mind, and said with a smile: "Then let your father introduce me to the senior management of HSBC."

Zheng Chun hesitated and said, "Didn't you just say that HSBC..." At this point, he suddenly realized, "Are you planning to cheat?"

Ji Cheng smiled and nodded, and comforted the other party: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass your father."

"It's just a recommendation. Nothing you do will embarrass my old man."

Zheng Chun readily agreed.

Just after talking about things here, a luxury Cadillac drove into the yard.

Immediately, Miss Lawson, whom I met yesterday, poked her head out from the passenger seat, "Sir, the armored vehicle is here, do you want to come up and check it?"

Ouch!

The armored car is here!

Ji Cheng was very interested in this thing, and immediately said: "Okay."

Zhou Cheng, Cheng Jianjun and others also ran out when they heard the movement, and they got into the car with Ji Cheng to observe.

From the outside, this bulletproof car looks like a Cadillac Bloheim, an extended version, with a body length of more than six meters.

Ji Cheng went inside and found that the space in the car was indeed very large, which was enough for a meeting inside. The seats were made of wine red leather, and the rear row was separated from the front row, so the privacy was fully guaranteed. The baffle of the table can put things.

Most importantly, its window glass is a full ten centimeters thick. According to Ms. Lawson, all body panels of this car have reached the light bulletproof standard, and so is the glass, which uses polycarbonate and lead-containing interlayers There is also a very special protective coating on the glass, which can not only resist bullets, but also can be used to resist long-term physical attacks by blunt objects such as sharp knives and stones.

Unlike many bulletproof vehicles, after special design, the interior of this car can receive GPS and radio frequency, which cannot be used in many bulletproof vehicles.

In addition, it not only has a system that can be connected to the alarm center, but even the tires have undergone special anti-explosion treatment, which makes it difficult for bullets to penetrate. , The chassis is also equipped with bulletproof armor, even if it is bombed, it will not cause accidents due to breakage.

It has too many functions, such as hidden night vision system, miniature kinetic energy missile interception system and so on.

After taking a closer look, Ji Cheng was completely overwhelmed by this car!

Zheng Chun, Zhou Cheng, Cheng Jianjun and others were also envious at first, and planned to get a car for fun, but after hearing that the customization cost exceeded 1000 million US dollars, they all gave up the idea.

A $1000 million car is expensive these days, but is $1000 million worth your life?

Ji Cheng happily asked Michael Baker to transfer money to the other party for him.

……

Came to Citibank in a bulletproof car.

Today, Ji Cheng will meet with John, Aignan, and Buckley to discuss soybean futures. He knows that this may be the last time he cooperates with the three top-notch consortiums, so he is extra cautious.

"Fairy Wood"

Citibank, in the drawing room.

Barkley, who was sitting opposite, lost his former enthusiasm.

Aignan next to him also became a lot silent.

Only John is still smiling. After all, Citibank and the Rockefeller family are not easy to deal with. Even if a certain agreement is reached in private, it is still impossible to wholeheartedly help the enemy deal with the enemy's enemy. ,

"Ji, starting today we can buy a large amount of soybean futures short contracts." Buckley looked at Ji Cheng and said, "The four of us agreed at the beginning to raise $100 billion together. Citibank, Vanguard and State Street each If you pay 30 billion, if you pay a billion dollars, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

Knowing that they had changed their minds, Ji Cheng said tentatively, "I don't have much money at hand. You promised me before that you would jointly loan me a billion dollars to operate. Does this promise still count?"

Barkley's eyes became misty, "This... Ji, how can I tell you, our Pioneer Group is also short of money recently, I'm afraid we can't provide you with a loan, I'm really sorry."

Ji Cheng didn't answer his words, but looked at Aignan.

Aignan and Ji Cheng had a very good personal relationship, but the company had made a decision, and as one of the shareholders, he couldn't hold back the others, so he had to apologize to Ji Cheng with a wry smile, "Ji, I'm really sorry, you also know how to take it all at once. It is not a small amount to pay 30 billion US dollars in cash, and our State Street Bank is also a bit difficult to fund..."

Ah!

Exactly what John said!

At the beginning, Ji Cheng had some illusions about these two companies, but it was a pity that State Street Bank and Pioneer Group showed their true colors with just a light test.

Really can!

The money-making plan was proposed by me. In the past, you promised me a loan to operate it. Now that someone else has benefited you in private, you want to kick me away right away?

Ji Cheng simply played a rogue and said, "I don't have any money, you guys can play."

"Didn't you make more than a billion dollars in the foreign exchange market before?" Buckley's eyes flickered.

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "Didn't I just buy Columbia Pictures and spend more than 40 billion yuan? How can I have any money?"

Barkley's eyes became a little cold and he said: "You mean, Joaquin Capital is going to withdraw from this project of shorting soybean futures? You brought up the plan, and you are the one who gave orders. Now that we have gathered all the funds, You told us to quit? Ji, it's not kind to do so!"

Agnan still didn't speak.

John was drinking coffee with a smile on his face, and he didn't know if he was watching a play or he had other ideas in his heart.

"Honest?" Ji Cheng glanced at Buckley, "To be honest, I still want to ask you what kindness means. I proposed the plan, and I have been giving orders all along. I want everyone to make money together. Heh, Seeing that it's time to make money, but you tell me that the promised one billion loan is gone, how can you ask me to be kind?"

Barkley narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean, we don't need to talk?"

Ji Cheng yawned and said, "There's really nothing to talk about."

"Hehe, you think we can't play without you, don't you?" Barkley suddenly laughed.

Ji Cheng spread his hands and said, "I didn't say that."

"Since you don't have any money, there's really nothing to talk about." Buckley stood up and looked at Aignan and John after finishing speaking, "I'll go ahead and contact you if you still want to cooperate. As for him...no Money won't cooperate."

After speaking, Barkley left.

Aignan sighed, reached out and patted Ji Cheng on the shoulder, stood up and left the room without saying a word.

Only then did Ji Cheng look at John, and said slowly, "You will continue to cooperate, right?"

"Well." John nodded and said, "The chairman promised you before that he can give you a loan of no more than one billion US dollars. This promise is still valid now."

Ji Cheng had already thought of a countermeasure before he came, but he didn't expect that Citibank would still be willing to lend a billion yuan, which was beyond his expectation.

He thought about it carefully, "How to calculate the interest?"

"Calculated according to the minimum interest on the bridge loan, okay?" John asked for advice.

Ji Cheng knows that Citibank's willingness to continue lending may not be because of his good relationship with him, but more likely because he wants him to defeat the Rockefeller family and take advantage of the opportunity. In fact, he doesn't really need the loan from Citibank, after all, he has already Make a plan and figure out how to eat alone.

He clearly understands one thing, that is, even if he does not continue to cooperate with Vanguard Group, State Street Bank, and Citibank, these three companies have invested a lot of money in soybean futures in the early stage, and it is still impossible to give up harvesting.

If I really withdraw on the surface, these companies will become extremely cautious when operating, and may prefer to make less money when harvesting, rather than rashly deepening.

It is true that Ji Cheng had this idea at the beginning, if you don't provide funds, I will find another institution to eat alone.

But Buckley's actions just now angered him. Ji Cheng is no longer simply wanting to eat alone, he wants to let the treacherous Vanguard Group and State Street Bank suffer from this matter!

It's just that Citibank has expressed enough goodwill. Ji Cheng has always been emotional, and he doesn't know whether he should cheat together.

"How about I go back and think about it?" Ji Cheng didn't directly ask for a loan.

John smiled and said, "That's fine. Anyway, you just need to remember one sentence. Since our Citigroup got rid of the control of the Rockefeller family, we will never be sincere to that family."

Ji Cheng looked into John's eyes, "Then if I say, tell you Citibank to stop cooperating with State Street and Vanguard Group, but cooperate with me to short soybean futures, will the consortium behind you agree to my request? "

"Difficult." John said truthfully.

Ji Cheng sighed, "Okay, I see, then it seems that it is impossible for us to continue to cooperate, this loan... I may not be able to borrow from you."

"Ji, I've known you for a long time, and our relationship is better than that of Aignan and Buckley. There is something I don't know if I should tell you." John stared into Ji Cheng's eyes and said.

Seeing his sincerity, Ji Cheng said, "Tell me, I'll listen carefully."

John said in a slightly warning tone: "The beautiful country is a beautiful country of the consortium. If you want to gain a foothold in this country, you don't have to be capable and rich, but you also need to have a certain social status and bring benefits to everyone. You rejected our three companies today, which is equivalent to rejecting the three major consortiums, and it will be difficult to get along in the future."

Ji Cheng smiled, and saw him in the picture.

Sure enough, all the financial groups in the beautiful country are monolithic. Before you squeeze into this circle, their interests are the most important. Even if they plot against each other in private, they are always exclusive.

If he does not accept a "handout" from one of the consortiums of Citibank, Vanguard and State Street today, then these consortia will sanction themselves together, unless one day squeezes into the circle.

But what about that?

Ji Cheng is not prepared to give in to anyone.

Sometimes if you want to jump into the upper class, you don't rely on other people's charity, but you have to get tickets by yourself!

Ji Cheng knew that he had completely broken with the three major groups today, but this was only short-lived. As long as he could get the admission ticket one day and meet the three major groups again, he would still become very harmonious. After all, the interests of the financial groups always come first.

Row!

I get the tickets myself!

At this moment, the seeds of ambition that Ji Cheng had planted in his heart finally began to take root and sprout. Not only did he want to get the admission ticket, but he also had to rely on his strength to get in, so that these beautiful elders could see and ask the vast land, Who can control the ups and downs of this country!
