Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

The next day, Zhou Ze, the deputy general manager of Dongda Group, arrived at Niufeng Bank with two staff members. Chairman (Taipan) Sir George Murray personally came out to greet them.

Having failed to acquire Hang Seng Bank in 65, Ng Fung Bank was not a dominant player in Hong Kong, only slightly stronger than Ng Chai Bank.

As international banks opened more and more branches in the port city, Niu Feng Bank's net profit was not very high at this time, less than 1/20 of Dongda Group's, and its status was not as prominent as it once was.

Dongda Bank is not listed, but according to internal estimates of Niufeng Bank, its size is more than twice that of Niufeng Bank.

The Chairman came to greet him, and after exchanging pleasantries in the important VIP room, Zhou Ze said a few minutes later, "Mr. Chairman, I have come with one purpose: to borrow 300 million US dollars and then use 20 times leverage to operate the market."

We request that one of your bank's professional traders provide services for us for one to two months, with the possibility of extensions later. This is guaranteed by Dongda Motor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

"Zhou, your company is very generous and has no problem with lending. We can provide six billion."

I may ask, though, is your company, Dongda Bank, even stronger than ours...?

"I understand what the chairman means. Our company has money, but not enough professional operators. There are many things that we are afraid they will be too busy to handle."

Your company's professional trader is N01, and we need to borrow him. This time, the amount involved is quite large, and we can't let our people practice on their own.

Our Chairman understands; he means that you're doing the same thing, but even with all your people, it's not enough, and you're treating our Niufeng Bank staff like cattle to keep making money for you.

I get it. We're willing to work like slaves for the transaction fees. We can make money and lose money at the same time, so why not!

"Zhou, please rest assured, our team is excellent and will guarantee the mission's success. How many people do you need?"

"The transaction fees are normal. It requires around two thousand accounts and fifty traders. Their bonus is five million US dollars per month, and they sign confidentiality agreements."

"That's perfectly fine. Zhou, wait a moment, I'll arrange the manpower."

The Chairman will not ask Zhou Ze and his team which stocks they want to trade. With the authorization letter from Dongda Group, he is willing to do as instructed without any problems.

As for the fact that there is no cash in the six billion, it doesn't matter. Niu Feng has bank drafts, has the strength, and is recognized by countless banks.

Three hours later, everything was completed. After signing the confidentiality agreement, I was unable to leave the office building for the rest of the time. I called home to explain the situation and then started working.

Every trader felt that Dongda Group was open and generous in its operations. The average monthly salary of 100,000 US dollars was equivalent to 565,000 Hong Kong dollars, which was 370 times their current salary.

They only have one month left on each order, and they are also upper-middle-class individuals, so they are very much looking forward to it.

"I won't waste any more words. You all make a living this way. If you don't want your families to be empty-handed, then follow the rules."

Next, you will each divide your accounts and use your assigned funds to buy oil futures. It's that simple.

Zhou Ze gave the order, and the traders began to act. It took them twenty minutes to finish, which was still too slow.

Zhou Ze left two staff members behind and returned to Dongda Group to report on his work.

"Mr. Chairman, our monitoring of Dongda Group's funds reveals that they are buying oil futures."

"My God, their company is actually trading oil futures! Since the futures market was established, our professional team has never been involved in it; we've only been learning."

"Should we also invest? I don't think we'll lose money; Dongda Group should be prepared."

"No, absolutely not. If this gets out, it will be a fatal blow to our bank. Spying on customer information for personal gain is a cardinal sin for banks!"

Small investments result in low profits, while large investments are too likely to be discovered. It's one thing to make money, but it would cause Dongda Group to lose money.

Who are you planning to wipe out completely?

We'll charge a handling fee for this. Let's talk about it next time when we're more experienced. Don't get involved recklessly.

"Yes, Mr. Chairman, I misunderstood."

"It's not your fault. Dongda Group has done so much charity work that many people have forgotten about their security company!"

".........."

"Well, there are six of us, each with 100 million. Two of us think there won't be a war, so we won't invest this time. They prefer real industries and are expanding their mobile phone factory, including the supply chain factory."

You're right. They're using the same rhetoric they use to promote our company to fleece us, treating us like suckers.

Come to me earlier next time, there'll be a surprise!

"I'll be there soon. The surprise is something I can't tell you about now. You'll be even happier when you see it, and I won't ask you."

"How clever. Heh, another group of people from your hometown has gone to Australia, scaring their people half to death."

"What's wrong now? It's just three thousand semi-armed security personnel, what's the big deal?"

"How many troops does Australia have? Three thousand people, with tanks, artillery, and infantry fighting vehicles. Everyone is armed with light weapons. The only people who know this are the security personnel."

Those who didn't know better would have thought you were going to attack Australia. They were only relieved after we assured them.

"Haha, thank you for your hard work."

"Come over soon."

In early December, He Yuzhu came to Niu Niu's capital again. Soon after, the price of oil will rise to 11.65 taels of silver.

You can sell Eagle Sauce Coins at 11:50, and Dongda Group can sell Eagle Sauce Coins between 10 and 11.

That's not the important reason. Martha said there was a surprise, and it wouldn't be right for a grown man to keep her waiting too long. A man should have manners.

First, we'll get together for a little meeting, then go have some fun. We still need to spend the money we earn!

"Well, oil prices are rising very fast. Using an oil embargo as a pretext is a good idea for us; it would bring in a lot of money."

"Now it has risen to 9.8 Eagle Soy Coin, and our purchase price was 2.8, which is a net increase of 2.5 times. With leverage, it is another 50 times profit."

That's equivalent to 11.2 billion US dollars per person. Now they're finally rolling in money. Maybe Dawson is right; it's time to move into the real economy.

He said that the labor costs and taxes in our local manufacturing sector are too high, especially for us. Things have gotten better in recent years, but in the mid-1950s, the taxes were outrageous. Who would want to open a factory there?

"Hey, do you know any good places?"

"I don't know much about your area. Every country here has high welfare and taxes. Asian countries generally have high taxes, and there are too few educated people. There are problems with all of these."

Think about which country meets the requirements: the workers' educational level absolutely cannot be too low. Many industries now need skilled workers.

"A low level of education won't do. We need to think about it. We can't build any more factories here. They're already treating us like韭菜 (a metaphor for being exploited), spouting high-sounding rhetoric, it's driving them crazy."

"Sigh, my mom said they're using our surname to their advantage, and we can't refuse. We might lose money, but they'll make it back elsewhere. In the end, we're the ones who suffer."

"You should just stick to being a naval officer. Come out and have some fun occasionally; nothing else matters to you."

"I know that my mom wants me to get married after I retire from the army, which is two years away."

"Five years will pass in a flash. Find a woman who doesn't like to be in the public eye and settle down with her. Treat her a little better, and it won't affect your time spent having fun outside."

"Hey, could you explain exactly what you mean? Your Eastern perspectives are different from ours."

"You just don't understand the real situation. If a woman doesn't like to show her face in public, she won't have a great reputation or a good reputation, and if something happens to her, she won't have many people to sympathize with her."

It will be of great benefit to you!

Be good to her, let her know that she's important to you, and that having other people outside the relationship is acceptable as long as it's not just one or two people.

"That's right, I need to think about it carefully."
