Chapter 32 Futures

Dingding, the sound of the long-necked glass pounding sounded, and Adrian stopped talking to Claude and looked at the top of the long table.

He was dressed very formally today, wearing a refined handmade black suit, and a purple tie under the collar of the pure white shirt, which made him look unique in his own right.

Please rest assured, two young gentlemen, I won't say too much.

Sitting on the top, the middle-aged man who was about fifty or sixty years old, raised the long-necked cup in his hands at Adrian and Claude with a smile. You will not have the chance to complain.

OK, Ben, don't be sneering anymore.The middle-aged lady sitting on his left hand interrupted her husband helplessly.

OK OK, Beth.

The middle-aged man laughed and looked at Adrian, this cup to you, Ed, congratulations on your standing up again, and congratulations on having a very outstanding work. I believe Jeff and Memi are very pleased in the Heavenly Kingdom, and they will be proud of you.

Jeff and Memi are the names of Adrian's parents, and the only one who can say this in front of him will naturally be his godfather, Benedict Ronris.

Thank you, Godfather, I believe they will.Adrian nodded seriously.

Frankly, Ed, I never thought you could make a movie.

Benedict put the cup back in his original place, with a feeling in his tone. Although this is a film...how to say it, I don't like the swear words from beginning to end, but at least the reviews of the film critics are pretty good, and the box office is also excellent.Anyway, this is the beginning of success.

I didn't expect this work to have such achievements, Godfather.

Adrian also said in a tone of emotion, "At the beginning, I just wanted to give it a try, but it's already reached this point, so it's better to work hard."Although he spoke confidently to Crowe at the beginning, he was not very sure.Fortunately, it is quite successful so far.

But I never thought you would acquire a film company and make a movie by yourself, Ed.The godfather looked at him with a smile, which really surprised me.

I was also surprised, Godfather, especially when this thought came out of my mind uncontrollably.

Adrian took a sip of the wine and said recalling, as if someone told me in his head to urge me that I should do this, and I will definitely do it well.Thank God, I have read a lot of books before, and I can draw, write articles and take videos.

I still remember this...when did that happen?

Claude inserted it, Ed resisted Uncle Harris's camera and squirted around in the room, but ended up tripping on the ground and falling a lot.

Yes, I still have an impression.

The godfather then smiled and continued. It should be when he was 12 years old, and Ed cried loudly because of this.Oh my God, I can't believe it, it was already a big guy at that time.

OK, can't you two say anything else?Beth interrupted their speech with dissatisfaction.

It's OK, Beth.Adrian waved his hand. I like to hear the godfather and Crow talk about these past, trivial things, which made me... feel like home.

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly changed subtly. Benedict and Beth both looked at Adrian with loving and pity, and a few seconds later Claude raised his cup to him: Then, respect the family.

This is a warm Christmas dinner. Although there are only four people, including Adrian, the joy has made him relax a lot recently, and he has better integrated into this family through chatting and laughing.

How am I doing today?Not bad, right?After dinner, Adrian and Claude came to the lounge and asked their best friend in this way.

It was excellent, and both my father and mother were very happy.Claude gave a thumbs up.

Thankfully, they didn't care about me and I'm just visiting now.Adrian made gestures, his expression looking exaggerated.

Why, you have used dinner, and you are starting to worry?Claude laughed and brought a cup of coffee to him.

Adrian shrugged, sat down and changed the subject: So, let's talk about the matter between us.

What's going on between us?Claude raised his eyebrows, what do you mean? If it was a yen matter, you should...

No, you didn't complete my conditions, Crow.Adrian smiled leisurely.

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 misheard your conditions at the time, Ed?Claude asked half-jokingly.

What I want to say is that if it is only considered the funds obtained from robbing Japan, it is still a long way from your promise to me.Adrian raised his hands.

Yes, I admit, I invested my money in Microsoft stocks in May, and they just released...win30, the situation is very good, there is no reason to miss this opportunity, right?Besides, the final result meets your requirements.

Claude waved disapprovingly.

But the problem is, dear Crow, what I said at the beginning was that it would all come from Japan.Adrian raised his legs, put his hands together, and looked at Claude playfully with his cat and mouse eyes.

Do you really want to care about this with me, Ed?Claude looked directly at Adrian's eyes, and after a few seconds he laughed again: OK, just say anything.

Hell, can't I let myself feel it for a while?Adrian mumbled, then sat up straight: I hope you can help me again, Crow.

Help you again?What's this time?Claude asked curiously.

futures.

futures?

Yes, oil futures!

Oil futures?You mean... Claude was about to say something, but was interrupted by Adrian: You know, when I came back from Europe, I went to New York once to visit my uncle.A few days ago, people he introduced learned some news that Congress authorized the president to solve the problem by force is more than 80%.

Claude frowned: Well, even if this news is reliable, it doesn't mean...

I know, Crow, I know.

Adrian interrupted him again, so I was contacting some people and once Congress announced the authorization, I would find a way to get the specific date of the attack.

The specific date of the attack?Do you know what you're talking about, Ed?!Claude stood up.

Relax, Crow.Adrian then stood up, stretched out his hands and pressed his shoulders, relaxed, I wouldn't be stupid enough to do any insider trading on this.

Basically, every large company will involve some insider trading to a greater or lesser extent, the only difference is whether it has been caught by the China Securities Regulatory Commission.

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 China Securities Regulatory Commission are different things.

Are you sure?Claude asked worriedly.

certainly.Adrian laughed, Even if I do, do you think anyone will provide information?

That's not necessarily true.Claude stared at him and picked up his arm.

OK, Crow, listen to me.

Adrian pressed him back to his chair. I just collected intelligence from formal channels, collected a lot of intelligence, and then analyzed it to make judgments. I think this is not illegal, right?Anyway, you need to start working after getting my message, I know that's a lot of risk, but, Crow, I need it.

Listen to me, Ed, you now have at least 50 million working capital, and your talent has been discovered. You can continue to operate your film company well. Why do you still have to bet on this?

Claude persuaded.

I think you shouldn't 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.

Hell.Claude patted his forehead, stared at Adrian but didn't say anything again.

I calculated based on the financial statements given by the accountant and combined with the film company, I could raise about 65 million US dollars.

Adrian continued, and I will give them all to you just like last time. You just need to pay attention at any time and start operating after receiving my notification. No matter what the result is, I will accept it even if I lose it all in the end.

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, Clau!

Claude's face was full of seriousness, but at the end he smiled bitterly and exhaled: You guy...

I need you, Crow.Adrian repeated it again.

Well, you have already said that, so I can only accompany you to the end.

Claude suddenly laughed, Since you have created a miracle, maybe you can create another one.

Will definitely!A smile emerged from Adrian's face again.

Yes, sure.

Thanks to the movie "Black Hawk Down", Adrian has a good understanding of several wars in the United States in the early 1990s, and the desert storm is naturally also included.

He remembers it very clearly that the US Congress authorized the old cowboy president to resolve the Kuwait issue by force on January 13, 1991, and the US military launched an attack on the 17th!

I believe that as long as the preparation work is done well, Claude's ability will definitely make the funds multiply. Futures is different from stocks. It is like gambling, either making a big profit or losing a lot.

Adrian remembered that he had a colleague who was very good at playing stocks in his previous life. He played stocks with tens of thousands of dollars and millions. But when he invested the funds into the futures market, he lost all of them in just a few days.

But this does not mean that Adrian can rest assured and make sure to make a profit without losing money.
