Ding Ding Ding, the long necked glass rattled, and Adrian stopped talking to Claude and looked at the top of the long table. He is very formal today. He is dressed in a elegant black suit. He wears a pure white shirt and a purple tie under the collar. This makes him look like he has a unique temperament.
"Don't worry, two young gentlemen, I won't say too much," said the middle-aged man in his fifties and 60s at the head of the table, smiling and holding up his long necked cup to Adrian and Claude. "You won't have a chance to complain."
"Well, Ben, don't be so wordy." The middle-aged lady sitting on his left-hand side reluctantly interrupted her husband.
"Well, Beth," the middle-aged man laughed and looked at Adrian. "Here's to you, ed. congratulations on your standing up again. Congratulations on your excellent work. I'm sure jeffer and Mamie will be very happy in heaven. They will be proud of you."
Jeffer and Mamie are the names of Adrian's parents, and the only one who can say that in front of him is his godfather, Benedict roanlis.
"Thank you, Godfather. I'm sure they will." Adrian nodded seriously.
"Frankly, ED, I never thought you could make a movie," Benedict said, putting the glass back in place. "Although this is a I don't like it from the beginning to the end. Anyway, it's a successful start. "
"I didn't expect this work to be as good as this, godfather," Adrian said with emotion. "At the beginning, I just wanted to try, but it's already here. I'd better try hard. At the beginning, although he swore to Crowe in his mouth, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Fortunately, it's been a success so far. "
"But I never thought you would buy a film company and make your own movies, ED," the godfather looked at him with a smile. "It really surprised me."
"I'm also surprised, godfather, especially when the idea comes out of my mind," Adrian recalls, sipping his red wine. "It's like someone told me in his head to urge me that I should do it, and I can do it well. Thank God, I used to read a lot of books and draw, write and photograph a little bit
"Yes, I still remember When did that happen? " Claude interposed. "Ed was struggling with Uncle Harris's camera and banging around the room. He tripped and fell to the ground
"Yes, I still have the impression," continued the godfather with a smile. "It should have been 12 years old, and Ed was crying for it. Oh, my God. I can't believe it. It was already a big boy at that time. "
"Well, you two, can't you say anything else?" Bess interrupted them with discontent.
"It doesn't matter, Beth," Adrian waved. "I like to hear the godfather and crow talk about these old, trivial things that make me There's a sense of home. "
The atmosphere at the table suddenly changed subtly. Benedict and Beth both looked at Adrian with loving and compassionate eyes. A few seconds later, Claude raised his glass to him and said, "well, to the family."
It was a warm Christmas dinner. Although there were only four people, including Adrian, it was so happy that he was so nervous recently that he relaxed a lot in the later stage, and he was better integrated into the family through talking and laughing.
"How was my performance today? Not bad? " After dinner, Adrian and Claude book came to the lounge and asked their cronies this way.
"It's excellent. Both father and mother are very happy." Claude gave a thumbs up.
"Thank God they didn't mind that I'm just visiting now." Adrian gestured, his expression exaggerated.
"Why, after dinner, you start to worry?" Claude smilingly brought a cup of coffee to him.
Adrian shrugged, sat down and changed the subject: "so, let's talk about our relationship."
"Between us?" Claude raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean? If it's about yen, you should..."
"No, you didn't fulfill my terms, crow." Adrian smiles as he takes time.
"No? Do you want to say that the money that knocked you down doesn't exist, or do you want to say that I heard your terms wrong, ed? " Claude asked half jokingly.
"What I want to say is that if we only count the funds from Japan, we still have a long way to go from the goal you promised me." Adrian raised his hands.
"Yes, I admit that in May I put my money into Microsoft stock, and they just announced Win3.0, the form is very good, there is no reason to miss this opportunity, isn't it? Besides, the final result meets your requirements. " Claude waved disapprovingly.
"But the problem is, dear crow, what I said was that it should all come from Japan." Adrian cocked his legs, put his hands together, and looked at Claude with cat and mouse eyes."Are you really going to argue with me about this, ed?" Claude looked straight into Adrian's eyes, and a few seconds later he began to laugh again: "well, if you have anything to do with it."
"Hell, can't you make me feel a little longer?" Adrian muttered, "I wish I could help you with my body again."
"Help you again? What is it this time? " Claude asked curiously.
"Futures."
"Futures?"
"Yes, oil futures!"
"Oil futures? You mean... " Claude was about to say something when Adrian raised his hand and interrupted: "you know, when I came back from Europe, I went to New York once and visited my uncle. The people he introduced a few days ago learned some news, and the possibility of Congress authorizing the president to solve the problem by force is more than 80%
Claude frowned. "Well, even if the news is reliable, it doesn't mean..."
"I know, crow, I know," Adrian interrupted him again, "so I'm in contact with some people, and I'll find a way to get a specific date for the attack once Congress announces the authorization."
"The exact date of the attack? Do you know what you're talking about, ed? " Claude stood up.
"Relax, crow," Adrian stood up and put his hands on his shoulder. "Relax. I'm not stupid enough to do insider trading on this."
Basically, every big company is more or less involved in some insider trading, the only difference is whether it has been caught by the CSRC. However, once military secrets are involved, only those giant group companies will be able to do something about it. Even so, we must be careful. The military and the CSRC are two different things.
"Are you sure?" Claude asked anxiously.
"Of course," Adrian laughed. "Even if I did, do you think someone would provide information?"
"Not necessarily." Claude watched him and took his arms.
"Well, crow, listen to me," Adrian pushed him back into his chair. "I just collect information from regular sources, collect a lot of information, and then analyze it and make a judgment. I don't think it's illegal, right? All in all, you need to start working after you get my message. I know it's very risky, but, crow, I need it. "
"Listen, ED, you have at least 50 million working capital in your hand, and your talent has been discovered. You can run your film company well. Why do you want to gamble on this?" Said Claude.
"I don't think you've forgotten what I said to you in the cafe, crow." Adrian said in a serious and serious tone, "you also told me that I need money, a lot of money."
"Damn it." Claude patted his forehead and glared at Adrian, but said nothing more.
"I have made a preliminary calculation based on the financial statements given by the accountant. With all the available funds, plus the film company, I can raise about $65 million." Adrian went on, "just like last time, I'll leave them to you. You just need to pay attention to them at any time, and then you can start to operate after receiving my notice. No matter what the result is, I will accept it even if it is lost."
After a pause, he sat down in front of Claude, put his head on his crossed hands and looked at his best friend without blinking: "I need you, crow!"
Claude's face was serious, but at last, he said with a bitter smile: "you guy..."
"I need you, crow." Adrian repeated it again.
"Well, you've already said that, so I'll be with you to the end." Claude burst out laughing. "Now that you've done a miracle, maybe you can create another one."
"Certainly!" Once again, a smile appeared on Adrian's face.
Yes, it will. Thanks to the film "Black Hawk falling", Adrian has a good understanding of several wars in the United States in the early 1990s, and desert storm is naturally one of them. He remembers very clearly that the US Congress authorized the old cowboy president to solve the problem of Kuwait by force on January 13, 1991, while the US army launched an attack on 17 January!
I believe that as long as the preparatory work is well done, with Claude's ability, this fund can definitely be doubled several times. Futures is different from stocks. It is like gambling, either making a big profit or losing a lot. Adrian remembers a colleague who was very good at playing stocks in his previous life. He played stocks with tens of thousands of money and returned to play with millions. But when he put the money into the futures market, he lost all his money in just a few days.
But that doesn't mean Adrian will be able to make a lot of money.
