King of Hollywood Chapter 32: Futures
Ding Ding Ding, the knock of the long-necked glass rang, and Adrian immediately stopped talking with Claude and looked at the top of the long table. He is very formally dressed today, in an elegant hand-made black suit, with a purple tie under the collar of a pure white shirt, which makes him look sharp and has a unique temperament.
"Please be assured, two young gentlemen, I won’t say too much," the middle-aged man, who is about fifty years old and about sixty years old, smiled and raised to Adrian and Claude. The long-necked cup in your hand, "You will not have the opportunity to complain."
"Okay, Ben, you don’t have to be wordy anymore." The middle-aged lady sitting on his left hand interrupted her husband helplessly.
"Okay, okay, Beth," the middle-aged man laughed, then looked at Adrian, "This cup of respect to you, Ed, congratulations to stand up again, and congratulations on having a very good work, I believe Jeff and Memy are very pleased in the National Congress, they will be proud of you."
Jeff and Memy are the names of Adrian’s parents, and those who can say this in front of him will naturally only be his godfather, Benedict Ron Reese.
"Thank you, Godfather, I believe they will." Adrian nodded seriously.
"Frankly speaking, Ed, I never thought you could make a movie," Benedict put the cup back in place, with a tone of emotion, "Although this is a...how to say, from scratch At the end, I don’t like it very much, but at least the critic’s evaluation is not bad, and the box office is also very good. Anyway, this is a successful start."
"I didn't expect this work to have such an achievement, godfather," Adrian said with a sigh of emotion, "In the beginning, I just wanted to try it. Anyway, I have reached this point, it is better to work hard. A handful. Although I had promised Crow in my mouth at first, I didn't really have much confidence in myself. Fortunately, it is still a success so far."
"But I never thought you would buy a film company and make a movie yourself, Ed," the godfather looked at him with a smile, "This really surprised me."
"I was also surprised, Godfather, especially when this idea came out of my mind uncontrollably," Adrian said with a sip of red wine. "It was like someone in my head told me to urge me, I should do this, and I will be able to do very well. Thank God, I used to read a lot of books before, but also a little drawing, writing and video."
"It's true, I still remember...when was that happening?" Claude plugged in. "Ed was staggering in this room against Uncle Harris's camera and was tripped. A big fall on the ground."
"Yes, I still have an impression," the godfather then smiled and took it, "That should be when I was 12 years old, Ed was crying because of it. God, I can’t believe it, it was already Big and small."
"Okay, you two, can't you say something else?" Bess interrupted their speech with dissatisfaction.
"It's okay, Beth," Adrian waved his hand. "I like to hear the godfather and Kraw talk about these, talk about these previous, trivial things, which makes me... feel at home."
The atmosphere on the dining table suddenly changed subtly. Both Benedict and Beth looked at Adrian with loving and pitying eyes. Crowd raised his glass to him a few seconds later: "So, respect Family."
This is a warm Christmas dinner, although there are only four people including Adrian, but his joyfulness has made him relax a lot after tightening his nerves in the late stage, and he has better integrated into the family in chatting and laughing.
"How is my performance today? Isn't it good?" After dinner, Adrian and Claude came to the lounge, and then asked their buddies like this.
"Excellent, father and mother are very happy." Claude gave a thumbs up.
"Thank goodness, they didn't care about me to visit now." Adrian gestured, his expression looked exaggerated.
"Why, have you ever used dinner, but you are starting to worry?" Claude smiled and brought a cup of coffee to him.
Adrian shrugged and changed the subject after sitting down: "So, let's talk about things between us."
"What happened between us?" Claude raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean, if it's the Japanese yen, you should..."
"No, you didn't complete my conditions, Crow." Adrian smiled with ease.
"No? Do you want to say that the money that knocked down your account doesn't exist, or do you want to say that I heard your terms wrong, Ed?" Claude asked half ridiculously.
"What I want to say is that if you only count the funds robbed from Japan, there is still a long way to go from your promise to my goal." Adrian raised his hands.
"Yes, I admit, I invested funds in Microsoft’s stock in May, they just released...win3.0, the format is great, there is no reason to miss this opportunity, right? Again, the final result Reached your request." Claude waved his hand in disapproval.
"The problem is, dear Crow, what I said was originally from Japan." Adrian raised his legs, put his hands together, and looked at Claude with a cat and mouse gaze.
"Are you really going to care about this with me, Ed?" Claude looked directly at Adrian's eyes, and after a few seconds he laughed again: "Okay, just tell me anything."
"Damn it, can't you let me feel more for a while?" Adrian grunted and sat up straight: "I hope you can help me again, Crow."
"Help you again? What is this time?" Claude asked curiously.
"Futures."
"Futures?"
"Yes, oil futures!"
"Petroleum futures? You mean..." Claude was about to say, but was interrupted by Adrian's hand: "You know, I went to New York once when I came back from Europe, and visited me The uncle. The person he introduced a few days ago learned some news that the possibility of Congress authorizing the president to resolve it 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 am contacting some people. Once Congress announces the authorization, I will find a way to get the specific date of the attack."
"The exact date of the attack? Do you know what you are talking about, Ed?!" Claude stood up.
"Relax, Crow," Adrian stood up, stretched out his hands and pressed his shoulders, "Relax, I won’t be stupid enough to do insider trading here."
Basically, every large company will be involved in some insider trading, more or less, the only difference is whether it has been caught by the SFC. However, once military secrets are involved, only those giant group companies will be able to make a fuss about it. Even so, you must be careful. The military and the SFC are two different things.
"Are you sure?" Claude asked uncomfortably.
"Of course," Adrian laughed, "Even if I really do, do you think anyone will provide information?"
"That's not necessarily true." Claude stared at him and folded his arms.
"Okay, Crow, listen to me," Adrian pushed him back into his chair. "I just collected information from regular channels, collected a lot of information, and then analyzed it to make judgments. I think this is not illegal. Right? In short, you need to start operating after you get my news. I know this is very risky, but, Crow, I need this."
"Listen to me, Ed, you now have at least 50 million working capital, and your talents have been discovered. You can run your film company well. Why should you bet on this?" Crow De persuaded.
"I think you should not forget what I said to you in the cafe, Crow." Adrian said in a serious and serious tone, "You also told me that I need funds, a lot of funds ."
"Damn it." Claude patted his forehead, glaring at Adrian without speaking.
"I have preliminarily calculated based on the financial statements given by the accountant, and combined all the available funds, plus the movie company, I can probably raise about 65 million US dollars~IndoMTL.com~Adrian continued," and Like last time, I will give them full power to you, you just need to pay attention to it and start to operate after receiving my notification, no matter what the result is-I will accept it even if it is finally lost. "
There was a pause. He sat down in front of Claude, put his head on his crossed hands, and looked at his buddy without blinking: "I need you, Crow!"
Claude's face was serious, but he finally exhaled with a wry smile: "You guy..."
"I need you, Crow." Adrian repeated it again.
"Well, you have already said so, then I can only accompany them." Claude suddenly laughed, "Since you have created a miracle, then maybe you can create another one. "
"Sure!" A smile appeared on Adrian's face again.
Yes, definitely. Thanks to the movie "Black Hawk Down", Adrian knows several wars in the United States in the early 1990s, and desert storms are so famous. He remembers very clearly that the US Congress authorized the old cowboy president to use force to solve the Kuwait issue on January 13, 1991, and the US military launched the attack on the 17th!
I believe that as long as the preparation work is done in place, Crowder’s ability can definitely make this fund more than a few times. The futures thing is different from stocks. It is like gambling. It makes a big profit or a big loss. Adrian remembered that there was a colleague who played stocks very much in the previous life. He took tens of thousands of funds to play stocks and played millions of dollars. But when he put this money into the futures market, he only lost it in a few days.
But this does not mean that Adrian can sit back and earn nothing.
