I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Citibank, Headquarters.

"Mr. Ji."

"You're back again, Mr. Ji."

The staff were still polite, as if nothing had happened.

Ji Cheng led Tom and Derek to the elevator entrance while smiling and responding.

A white female staff member took the initiative to press the elevator, "Mr. Ji, please."

"Thank you." Ji Cheng casually asked as he walked in, "Is Mr. Li De busy?"

The white female staff member smiled and said, "I just saw him smoking in the smoking room with Director Charlie, so he shouldn't be too busy."

Because Ji Cheng was going to accept a billion-dollar loan from Citibank, the chairman of Citibank, John Li De, would definitely have to nod in the end. John couldn't make the decision, so he asked John Li De if he was busy.

It's easy to know that the other party is not busy.

Should save a lot of time.

Ji Cheng thought about pressing the floor.

The elevator ascended slowly, and soon came to the executive floor.

Ding Dong, the elevator door opened.

Ji Cheng took Tom and Derek to go to John first, and then the other party informed John Reed, and the two sides discussed the loan, that is, he was subdued on the surface.

However, unexpectedly, John just came over.

Even Ji Cheng could see the backs of John Reed and Director Charlie next to the smoking room not far away, turned around and entered the office.

"Huh? Why are you back?"

John's tone was surprised, but his eyes were calm, as if he had expected Ji Cheng to come back.

Ji Cheng, who used to have a straight chest, bent slightly on purpose at this moment, as if he seemed very fawning, and said with an apologetic smile on his face, "Go back and think about it carefully, and decided to accept the loan."

John was not surprised at all, and even had a smile of "I knew you would give in" on his face, "This matter is up to the chairman, he is busy at the moment, why don't you go to the reception room for a meeting?"

Is John Reed busy now?

Dude just saw him come out of the smoking room with Director Charlie!

Ji Cheng knew what Citibank was up to, so he just left him cold on purpose. He used this method to tell him what would happen if he didn't obey. After all, he refused the loan just now, which was equivalent to rejecting Citibank's recruitment. He "had to" come back and "beg for mercy", how could the other party give him a loan so easily?

He was bright in his heart, but he pretended he didn't know anything, and asked deliberately, "Does Mr. Li De have any clients?"

John casually said: "Oh, there is a big client."

Ji Cheng continued to tease John, and said, "The client that the chairman of Citibank can receive must not be an ordinary person, right? Tell me who it is."

How could John know who it was, this big client was completely fabricated by him, at least to snub Ji Cheng for a while, but the lie had already been told, and he had to find a way to get it right, "cough...cough cough, then What, it seems to be... Bill Gates... Well, yes, it is Bill Gates, you also know that Microsoft is getting bigger and bigger, and the funds are getting more and more, so they always have to cooperate with banks."

Ji Cheng blinked and said, "Bill Gates? The super rich man?"

John hummed, "That's him, you don't know him?"

Ji Cheng laughed, "Hey, I really met once. I haven't seen you for a long time. How about I wait outside Mr. Li De's office, and when Mr. Gates comes out, I can catch up with him."

John: "..." He held back his words for a long time, and finally said with a dry smile: "Then what, I seem to remember wrongly, Mr. Gates came yesterday, who is here today? Paul Getty's son Do you know Gordon P. Getty?"

Ji Cheng definitely didn't know him, but he knew this person, pretended to suddenly realize, and said, "You mean Mr. Getty, the boss of Getty Petroleum Company? Mr. Li De is the one who is meeting with him?"

John thought Ji Cheng knew him, so he was sweating profusely, and quickly denied it: "No, it's not him."

With cunning in Ji Cheng's eyes, he said in a regretful tone: "It's a pity, I thought it was Mr. Getty, and I wanted to get to know him through Mr. Li De."

puff!

John nearly vomited blood!

I don’t know you, say Kun’er!Huan Fark acted as if he knew each other!

"Then what, I still have something to do, why don't you wait in the reception room for a while, Mr. John will come to you when he's done."

After John finished speaking, he fled in despair.

Looking at John's back, Ji Cheng couldn't help chuckling.

Tom interjected at this moment, "Sir, I think the other party doesn't seem to want to see you very much."

"I know."

Ji Cheng shrugged and walked towards the reception room.

Tom asked strangely: "Since you know why don't you leave?"

"Because I want them to think that I can't live without Citibank." Ji Cheng said calmly.

Tom and Derek looked confused, not understanding what it meant.

Ji Cheng didn't explain to them.

The most important thing for him now is to win the trust of Citibank and buy himself time to operate.

Come to the reception room.

Ji Cheng casually found a single sofa to sit down on, and five or six of them took the initiative to call John's assistant, and asked the charming Caucasian female assistant in her forties to pour three drinks for himself and the two bodyguards. A cup of coffee, and even, he asked the female assistant too much to bring the good cigars hidden in John's office.

It's as if this is his home, not to mention how cheap the attitude is.

The female assistant was speechless to him.

Not to mention the female assistants, even Tom and Derek were dripping with cold sweat watching it, thinking that their boss really didn't treat this place as an outsider.

Ji Cheng didn't care what they thought at all, while drinking coffee and smoking a cigar, he leisurely turned on the enhanced perception, and eavesdropped on the situation in John Reed's office.

……

the other side.

John turned around and went to the chairman's office.

Knocking on the door and entering, John Reed was chatting with Director Charlie about where to go after get off work. When he saw him come in, he asked, "John, what do you want?"

John looked outside and made sure that Ji Cheng was in the reception room, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Mr. John, Ji Cheng from Joaquin Capital is here."

Director Charlie laughed, "John, you really predicted things like a god, he really came back."

John Reed smiled slightly, "It's okay if he doesn't come back, the company is going to close down, and now soybean futures are imminent, if you are him, you can only choose to come back obediently and bow to me."

Only then did John ask, "Sir, when will you see him?"

"Leave him alone for two hours." John Reed said casually.

John knew it in his mind, "Okay, then I'll hide from you, otherwise I don't know how to answer his questions."

John Reed and Charlie had no objections, and allowed John to hide here for "refuge".

The three chatted for a while about gossip.

Suddenly, Charlie asked, "When he came back that season, he came to us for a loan of one billion yuan, and then he must use the money to short soybean futures. Are we really going to lend him this way? If he earns enough money by then, I'm afraid it will become difficult to control in the future, right?"

"He won't make any money."

John Reed said calmly.

Charlie snorted, "Didn't he reveal his plan to you before, and after he bought a large number of short contracts, he would expose Fuzi's intention to squeeze positions to the Chicago Board of Trade?"

"Of course, he didn't expose how we made money? How did the Rockefeller family suffer heavy losses?" John Reed did not deny it.

Charlie was confused, "Since he will expose, he must be in soybeans..."

He woke up halfway through the sentence!

"John, you mean..." Charlie tentatively asked cautiously, "Are we time-lag?"

"Haha, as expected of Charlie." John Reed smiled happily, and said, "He told us that he would expose it to the Chicago Board of Trade on July [-], and we just need to let him buy a large amount before that." It is enough to enter short contracts of soybean futures, and then prevent him from contacting the Chicago Board of Trade on the [-]th. However, we will buy a large number of short contracts and complete off-market capital allocation on the [-]th of July. In one day, the contract he bought will be liquidated, and the billion-dollar loan will be wiped out, and he will not be able to repay the money, what do you think will happen?"

"Shet! John, you are so bad!" Charlie's eyes lit up, "If he doesn't pay the money, Huajin Capital will be ours, and if he wants to continue to rely on Huajin Capital to make money, he has to be obedient Our words."

John Reed nodded with a smile.

At this time, John raised a very critical question, "But he made more than a billion dollars in the foreign exchange market before, so the billion dollars should not be repaid, right?"

"Did you forget that he bought Columbia Pictures before?" John Reed sneered, "Although I heard that Michael Milken helped him borrow money from Lehman Brothers and promised to issue junk bonds to pay back the money , but I checked Ji’s company account and found that there are only two to three billion US dollars, in my opinion, he also took a lot of money out of the acquisition.”

John asked again, "Will he have money in a private account?"

"Will you put the money you earn into your personal account? Don't you know how much tax you have to pay?" John Reed said with a squint.

There is no such thing as a personal tax in the beautiful country, and the tax declaration is generally carried out on the basis of the family as a unit.

For example, in modern society, the highest rate of family tax declaration in the beautiful country is 30.00%. This is still federal tax, without counting state tax and the like.

The corporate tax rate is much lower. It is about 20.00% in modern society, and it can also avoid tax reasonably. For example, set up a charitable foundation, and then donate to your own charitable foundation. At that time, you only need to guarantee 5.00% of the donated money. % for charity, then it's fine.

Even if the state tax is included, the tax paid by the company does not exceed 30.00%. In modern society, the company in New York State pays a tax rate of [-]%.

Today is 30.00, and the ratio of family tax and corporate tax is three to four points higher than in modern society. If Ji Cheng uses the company to file tax returns, he will have to pay about [-]% of tax for [-] million US dollars, and he can also avoid tax reasonably. In the end, the tax paid in the end may be less than ten percent.

But if the money went into his personal account, then he would be embarrassed. Only 50.00% of the billions of dollars Ji Cheng earned would remain in his hands.

One billion yuan was cut in half at once, who is stupid enough to do this?

John suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot to pay taxes."

John Reed smiled and said: "So I just need to check how much money is in his company account. What can two or three hundred million dollars do? He can only borrow money. Once the time comes, he can't pay the money. What else can he do if the equity of the capital is given to us?"

Charlie said excitedly: "Besides, he will issue more than 50 billion dollars in junk bonds to acquire Columbia Pictures. The interest on the bonds alone is enough to drag him to death every year. It is impossible to regain the equity. We can even make a fuss about junk bonds. Get more equity from him, and finally Huajin Capital is completely reduced to our Citibank company."

"Bingo!" John Reed snapped his fingers, "The premise is that he is not allowed to make money on soybean futures, otherwise it will be empty talk. Unfortunately, it is impossible for him to make money on soybean futures. Because we accounted for all contingencies."

"high!"

"Mr. John, you are so tall!"

John and Charlie boasted.

John Reed, the flatterer of the two of them, was very useful. He said with a smile: "So there is only one thing we have to do now, and that is to prevent him from being snatched by other financial groups. The billion dollars must be given to him. As long as he accepts our loan, he will be at our mercy!"

……

in the reception room.

Ji Cheng listened to all this.

He couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that Citibank really checked my account, and arrogantly only checked the company's account.

Well, in fact, he is not afraid of checking personal accounts.

Ji Cheng had always been afraid that the Rockefeller family would use similar means to investigate him, so he never put the money in his personal account in the beautiful country bank.

As for preventing himself from being exposed by the people at the Chicago Board of Trade on July [-]th, he really didn't expect this.

"This trick is really bad. If I can't expose it, then I will definitely lose a lot of money if I buy short soybean futures contracts in advance."

It's a pity that Ji Cheng has always been cautious, and never thought about putting all his eggs in one basket, let alone exposing Fuzi Company's forced position. If the exposure fails, wouldn't it mean that he invested in it himself? Floating?

He had already thought of a better idea!

See you in due course!

Ji Cheng's eyes became colder and colder. He used to feel a little bit sorry for cheating Citibank, but now this emotion is completely gone. He not only wants to cheat Citibank, but also make Citibank lose everything in this soybean futures short!

Time passed by minute by minute.

half an hour...

One hour……

An hour and a half passed, but John Reed still didn't come.

Tom and Derek, who had nothing to do with this matter, felt a little upset for Ji Cheng.

"Sir, Citibank has treated you too much!" Tom said indignantly.

Derek, who always talked less, also said at this moment: "Yeah, you have been waiting here for an hour and a half. Not only did the chairman not show up, but no one else showed up except for the female assistant."

Ji Cheng, however, was still at ease, took a sip of the already cold coffee, and then said, "You must be patient in your life and in everything you do. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Only you have enough patience. When the opportunity comes, you must be patient." Only a moment can be grasped in one fell swoop."

Tom and Derek were inexplicable, they had no idea what Ji Cheng meant by this sentence.

Indeed, not to mention Tom and Derek, two warriors who don't understand, even if John Reed is standing here, it is impossible to understand what he means.

But Ji Cheng knew in his heart that he really only had one chance, a chance to let his wealth increase sharply and fight against the consortium.

As for John Reed not showing up until now, Ji Cheng didn't worry at all. He had already eavesdropped on it by using his perception enhancement just now, and the other party would hang himself for two hours. The bank has value, and the other party will naturally come when the time comes.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

What John Reed did to him today will be repaid double in the future!

Ji Cheng, take it easy.
