I looked at my father Jackie Chan in 1988

Citibank reception room.

Ji Cheng sat casually on the sofa, smoking a premium Cuban cigar, and there was a glass of white wine in front of him, and the label on the bottle next to him was impressively written with Dijin.

Two super bodyguards, Tom and Derek, stood behind him.

John, Barkley, and Aignan looked at him with wry smiles.

Ji Chengcheng shook the wine glass lightly and took a sip, "Well, this wine is sweet and mellow, worthy of being called liquid gold."

John wasn't in a good mood at first, but now Ji Cheng "blackmailed" the [-] white wine that he had treasured for many years. His heart was bleeding. He took a deep breath and tried to hold back his thoughts. Impulsive to hit Ji Cheng, he squeezed out a smile as much as possible and asked, "Ji, what's the matter with you calling some of us over so early?"

Barkley and Aignan also looked very embarrassed.

Not to mention the top executives of their groups, even the three chairman John Reed, John Boger and Lynn Elsenhans are all in a bad mood at the moment, and even these three are still being held by them. The financial group behind it called the past to scold, so it didn't appear here.

Ji Cheng put down his wine glass and picked up his cigar, "Oh, I'm here to talk about soybean futures."

Which pot of yours can't be opened and which pot to lift!

Now let's talk about your sister's soybean futures!

John, Buckley, and Aignan all wanted to scold their mothers.

"What happened to soybean futures?" Buckley asked in a daze.

Ji Cheng deliberately pretended that he didn't know anything about the situation, and he said in a normal tone: "It's nothing, didn't the four of us agree to join forces to make a fortune, I thought the timing was wrong before, and I didn't notify you to operate it , In the past two days, I have seen that it is almost the same, so I specially called you here to tell you that when the market opens on Monday, we can buy a large amount of soybean futures."

Buy you paralyzed!

Why did you come here to give us eye drops on purpose?

John was so angry that his teeth were itching, he suppressed his discomfort and asked, "Didn't you say you were short before? Why are you buying again?"

Barkley also simmered in his heart.

Although Aignan has the best relationship with Ji Cheng in private, he failed to short soybean futures before, causing their company to lose a lot. As one of the shareholders, he is also a little angry looking at Ji Cheng at this moment.

Ji Cheng took a puff of the cigar without haste, tasted it in his mouth for a while, and then slowly exhaled the smoke, "I was planning to go short, but I saw that the situation was not right, so I didn't inform you to buy short contracts , you wouldn’t buy short contracts behind my back, would you? It’s not kind to do so.”

All three were choked!

Before, they had agreed with Ji Cheng to wait for orders, and once they got news from Ji Cheng, they would immediately spend money to buy the contract. Useful information, so why do you want to play with Ji Cheng?So secretly, the three companies pooled a total of more than 80 billion U.S. dollars into it, and it became like this.

In other words, if they had listened to Ji Cheng from the beginning, no matter whether they fell out or not, as long as they didn't secretly want to get rid of Ji Cheng and buy without permission, they wouldn't lose so much money.

But they did that!

In other words, it was entirely their own fault that they fell to this point!

More importantly, they can't admit that they bought contracts privately, otherwise it will be reported that the three major groups have betrayed their promises, and the customers will run away.

"Cough, how is it possible!" John Zhengyi said lingeringly, "Do you think our Citibank is like that kind of group that does not keep promises?"

Barkley also pinched his nose and said, "That's right, the most important thing our Vanguard Group pays attention to is integrity."

Aignan was also disgusted, but he still tried to deny it, "Hehe, Ji, what are you talking about? You came up with the idea, and it can be regarded as a commercial secret. If you don't take the initiative to inform the buyer We can't do this kind of thing if we enter into the contract." As he spoke, he looked sideways at the other two, "Do you think so?"

"exactly."

"We can't do this."

John and Barkley both twitched their mouths and said with a forced smile.

As Ji Cheng's personal bodyguards, Tom and Derek had known about the situation for a long time, and when they heard what the three said, they were secretly amused.

Ji Cheng was also amused by the fact that these people had lost their teeth, but he seemed to believe it on the surface, "Well, I believe in the integrity of the three groups of you, otherwise you would become a bitch, you say I am Right?"

You are bitch!

Your whole family is bitch!

John, Barkley, and Aignan were furious when they heard this, but they couldn't get angry with Ji Cheng. Otherwise, wouldn't it be the same as admitting that the three of them had no integrity?Don't mention how much fire they have.

Ji Cheng deliberately provoked a few people, seeing their expressions as if they had eaten Xiang, he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then he started to talk about the business, saying: "Before I felt that the price of soybean futures had risen to such a high level. Something is not right, and the major futures exchanges will definitely take action on this, but they did not expect to actually investigate, which then caused soybean futures prices to plummet and enter the oversold stage.”

John frowned and said, "So you want to take the opportunity to buy at the bottom?"

"Yes!" Ji Cheng put down his cigar, "Generally speaking, after an oversell, it tends to bottom out. If we can seize the opportunity, I believe we can make a lot of money."

Barkley really wanted to hate Ji Cheng, but recalling what John Bogle said before, he could only hold back his discomfort and said in a good voice: "Ji, I'm not questioning your level in futures, but now Soybean futures are being interfered by the futures policies of various countries and are still in a downward phase, do you really think you can buy the bottom right now?"

Ji Cheng asked back, "Why not?"

Barkley couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't I just say that the futures policies of various countries are interfering, and soybean prices are still falling, so it's not the time to buy bottoms."

John and Agnan nodded in agreement with Buckley's point.

Ji Cheng asked again, "Then when do you think you should buy at the bottom? Do you wait until the price rebounds?"

This time Barkley was blocked.

Not only Barkley, John and Aignan were also at a loss for words.

Yes, isn’t buying at the bottom a bet that the price will rebound after bottoming out? If you wait for the price to rebound and then buy long contracts, you may be able to make some money, but you will definitely not be able to maximize your benefits.

"I still feel a little bit wrong." Barkley shook his head and said.

John and Aignan also think the same way. They have suffered a big loss in shorting soybean futures this time, and they are all cautious at the moment.

Ji Cheng didn't say anything, just clapped his hands and made a snapping sound.

Standing behind him, Tom took out a form from his briefcase.

Ji Cheng reached out to take it and looked at it, then threw it directly on the coffee table, "Look at the form."

"what?"

"Let me see."

John, Barkley, and Aignan leaned over to take a closer look.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Cheng said, "This is a soybean price list from [-] to [-]. Take a closer look and see if you can find any patterns."

When everyone took a closer look, it was really the price list of soybeans over the years.

Ji Chengdao: "In the past 20 years, the two years with the highest and lowest price fluctuations of soybeans were 50.00% 30.00 in [-] and negative [-]% [-] in [-]. , but in essence, soybean prices are basically increasing year by year.”

"That's what I said, but..." Barkley wanted to say something else.

Ji Cheng interrupted directly: "And since [-], the price of soybeans has never been lower than the cost of planting!"

what?

Has the price of soybeans ever been lower than the cost of cultivation?

Everyone really didn't pay attention to this point. After hearing what Ji Cheng said, they discovered that there is a line of data below, which is the fluctuation center of soybean planting costs corresponding to soybean prices.

John said with a moved face: "Based on what you said, it seems that soybean futures are worth buying long contracts."

Ji Cheng nodded slightly and said, "The cost of soybean planting this year is [-] cents per bushel, but now the price of soybeans has dropped below [-] cents. You should know what it means?"

"It's hard for us to take such a big risk to buy long contracts with only this point of view." Barkley still said very rationally.

Ji Cheng didn't explain this time, he just said blandly, "Whether to buy long contracts is up to you, I have already informed you, anyway, I will fly to Xiangjiang to sign a value contract with HSBC next time." $[-] billion long soybean contract."

"Ji, are you serious?" John saw his seriousness.

Aignan also looked moved: "Are you really going to buy a long contract with a billion dollars for a big gamble?"

Ji Cheng stood up and said confidently: "It may be a big gamble for you, but for me this is an opportunity to make a lot of money!"

After speaking, he took people away.

John, Agnan and Buckley who stayed in the reception room were silent.

"You say, can you trust him?" John couldn't help asking.

Barkley frowned and said: "I have some inside information, and to be honest, he is not very credible."

"Oh?" Aignan asked curiously, "What inside information?"

John pricked up his ears and listened.

"The three of us have lost billions of dollars in soybean futures this time, and Fuzi Company, which is long, has also been blown up, and the loss is said to be as high as 100 billion dollars." Barkley first explained the situation, and then said: " The trading market is a zero-sum game market. That is to say, if you lose a dollar in this market, someone will make a dollar in this market. Our three companies and the Rockefeller family did not make money in both long and short positions, so Who will earn the money that our four families lost?"

That's right, everyone didn't make any money, where did that huge sum of money go?

Can't it just disappear for no reason?

There is only one answer, someone must have made their money!

John narrowed his eyes, "You mean Ji actually made money?"

Agnan looked a little disbelieving.

They mobilized so much power and kept staring at Ji Cheng. They didn't notice any movement a while ago. How could they make money quietly?

"It's hard for him to say specifically, but the news I got is that Hongkong Standard Chartered Bank used various channels to open many accounts in major futures exchanges around the world a while ago, and made at least 50 billion US dollars." Barkley slowly Said: "It's just that I have a question here. Although Ji has been running very diligently in Xiangjiang recently, he has never been in contact with Standard Chartered Bank, especially during the time when Standard Chartered Bank opened an account. The 24-hour full name is stalking, and he never left his house at all, so I just suspect it is him."

"So what do we do now?" Agnan asked for advice.

"Listen to me first." Buckley took a deep breath and said, "The short positions of soybean futures bought by the accounts opened by Standard Chartered Bank did not exceed 200 million bushels. Do you know what this means?"

"What? Each account does not exceed 200 million bushels?" John opened his eyes.

Aignan gasped even more, "Does Standard Chartered Bank have the ability to predict? The figure required by the major futures exchanges to reduce positions is more than 200 million bushels, which can be said to be accurate!"

"Yes!" Buckley had a serious look on his face, "So if the person who entrusted Standard Chartered Bank to buy a large number of soybean futures short contracts before was Ji, then I can only say that he has the unpredictable ability to predict! "

"Is he a visitor from the future?" John guessed right.

Aignan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Visitor from the future? Have you watched too many sci-fi movies?"

Barkley couldn't help laughing and said, "That's right, how can there be any future visitors? I mean, his judgment on the futures market has reached a terrifying state of supernaturalness. Think back to whether he was also accurate when he shorted the crude oil futures and foreign exchange markets before." Incomparable?"

John recalled it carefully, "It seems to be true, but there is one thing I can't figure out. Crude oil futures plummeted because of the Exxon crude oil leak. This was an accident. How could he make an accurate judgment?"

"Maybe he didn't judge the Exxon crude oil spill accident at all." Buckley explained: "I went back and checked the information for a long time. In fact, since September [-], Saudi Arabia abandoned the benchmark oil price and switched to the spot market The price of oil, and after non-OPEC countries competed for market share through price reduction sales in [-], a full-scale price war between OPEC and non-OPEC countries for market share broke out, starting in [-] Until this year, that is, between [-] and [-], the price of crude oil has been falling, but at the beginning of this year, the price rose abnormally. Therefore, I think that Ji Ji probably predicted that the price will drop, so he shorted crude oil futures. to the Exxon oil spill to make a fortune."

"Then his eyes are really sharp." John admired him very much.

Aignan also said sincerely: "There was also the time in the foreign exchange market. He also judged that West Germany and Japan could not bear the long-term low interest rates, which led to high currency prices, which would cause domestic capital to flee, so the governments of the two countries will definitely Raise interest rates, then it is imperative that the currencies of the two countries depreciate against the US dollar, and indeed, he guessed right, so he made a lot of money, I have to say that Ji is very powerful!"

"Since you all know how sharp his eyes are in the trading market, it is most likely that he is the client behind Standard Chartered Bank's profit of at least 50 billion US dollars in soybean futures." Buckley said: "Although I don't know I know how he communicated with Standard Chartered Bank, but this is actually not important, what is important is that as long as it is confirmed that it is him, then what he just said is not worth believing at all."

"You mean we shouldn't listen to him buy long soybean futures?" John asked.

"No." Buckley shook his head.

Aignan said in amazement: "Since you say he is not trustworthy, why do you still listen to him?"

"It's not about listening to his words." Barkley explained: "I mean, what he said is unreliable, but it doesn't mean that the judgment in the futures market is inaccurate."

Both of them were confused by what he said, and they didn't know what Barkley wanted to express.

Barkley saw that the two of them were really not enlightened, so he took the initiative to say: "I mean, don't worry about what he said, but look at what he did."

John understood immediately, "Do you mean that if he really buys a long soybean futures contract, we will follow suit to buy it, and if he doesn't buy it, we will also not buy the contract?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Barkley said with a smile: "His words may deceive us, but he can't be sorry for his own money, right? As long as he buys a long contract, we will follow behind to buy Come on, it's safe to do so!"

Makes sense.

They were too anxious before. On the one hand, the price of soybeans fluctuated too much. On the other hand, someone took the initiative to expose the suspicion that someone might squeeze soybean futures at the Chicago Board of Trade, which forced them to enter the market with capital, which led to a blood loss.

Another point, in fact, what they did at the time was actually right, and Ji Cheng’s judgment was also accurate, but they did not perform the same operation as Ji Cheng. If they knew that Ji Cheng used hundreds of units and the position of each unit was not More than 200 million bushels, then they can make money.

In the final analysis, they did not fully grasp Ji Cheng's movements.

Because Ji Cheng deliberately used the one billion dollars borrowed from Citibank to transfer to HSBC before, confusing the three major groups' attention, but in fact Ji Cheng did not use the money to buy any contracts.

"This time without the accurate information that he confirmed the purchase of the futures contract, we will remain on hold." John nodded in agreement and said, "As long as he really takes action, then we will follow suit, and we don't have to be afraid of repeating the same mistakes."

"Well, I'm going to go back and persuade the board of directors to do this. Whether you want to do it or not depends entirely on what you think." Buckley didn't say anything, got up and walked outside, and said with a sneer: "As long as he really I don’t believe there is fraud in it.”

"I don't believe it either." John also stood up, "I'll go to the board of directors to discuss this matter."

Aignan said the same.

They still don't believe it. If you operate exactly the same as you, will there be any accidents?

Invisible brain supplement, the most deadly.

They didn't believe what Ji Cheng said, but they believed in Ji Cheng's ability.

No, they were fooled one by one, after a lot of analysis, they finally decided to follow suit, but they didn't know that they had completely fallen into Ji Cheng's trap. Originally, Ji Cheng didn't have the confidence to let the three major groups suffer heavy losses. However, they continued to jump into the hole they dug, but the three of them took the initiative to make up all the possibilities, and jumped into the hole again.

Of course, whether it is implemented in this way depends on the final deliberation results of the boards of directors of the three major groups.

……

Although Ji Cheng who flew to Xiangjiang didn't know the result of these people's discussions, he could probably guess something.

Because this was originally a trick he gave to these three major groups!

Of course, Ji Cheng will buy a long contract of soybean futures on Monday, and it is a huge sum of one billion U.S. dollars, but this money is not the capital for his real harvest of soybean futures. The real harvest capital is the money he just earned from shorting soybean futures on Tuesday. of more than 50 billion US dollars.

Ji Cheng thought to himself: "I don't know if those guys will be fooled, hey, never mind, anyway, as long as I make money, it doesn't matter whether they fall for it or not."

This time he is really confident to make money, even more confident than shorting before, because the information he collected from the modern society is that soybean futures bottomed out and rebounded after going through the oversold stage!

If he promised to earn 100 billion US dollars, he will definitely earn that much!
