Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"What the fuck?! Are they crazy?"

In his excitement, Carter even spoke his native language...

Monopoly is a word that is familiar to everyone. Similarly, everyone knows the harm of monopoly, and they also know the huge profits of monopoly! And usually, in most people's minds, monopoly only appears in the field of physical commodities.

For example, provide a certain product or service, and use various means to make it the only company in this industry left in the market, thereby achieving the purpose of monopolizing the market, and then controlling pricing power and seeking huge profits.

Carter never imagined that someone actually wanted to monopolize the silver transaction in the financial market!

You know, just on the New York Stock Exchange, there are countless traders, large and small, and retail investors. Not only Americans, British, Germans, but all kinds of people...

At this time, New York and the New York Stock Exchange were definitely the world's financial center. Monopolizing the New York Stock Exchange, or monopolizing the silver trading market of US stocks, was basically equivalent to monopolizing the world's stock market.

Even now, Carter can't believe that someone actually does this. After all, silver trading is not a new market. On the contrary, silver trading has a long history!

Before the gold standard, the silver standard was popular for hundreds of years. Silver at that time was basically the same as gold today. Every country had to reserve it, and every country had reserves.

Today, as silver reserves are increasingly discovered, although the value of silver is not as good as before, you cannot deny the reality that silver has long been everywhere in the world!

In this environment, if you want to monopolize the BY market, you must at least take back the silver in the market first, right? Otherwise, the world is full of silver, and you use it to monopolize it? Only if there is nothing on the market and you have it here, then it counts.

Monopoly!

But here comes the problem, wanting to recycle nearly all the world's silver...

How much money would it cost? Carter's scalp was already numb just thinking about it. Not to mention, would anyone really dare to do this?

But if it is not to monopolize the silver trade, then what is the purpose of this International Metal Investment Company? The name of the company tells you that they are only engaged in investment, and the silver they buy is not used for product production.

When it was at a high level, it was still buying large amounts of silver. If it were not for monopoly, other purposes seemed unjustifiable. Because normally, going long on a certain commodity is a long-term process.

The operating logic is to gradually reduce the circulation of the commodity in the market, let the supply be lower than the demand, push up the unit price, and then gradually sell out its reserves when the price is high to profit from the price difference.

Therefore, if this international metal investment company is just for long positions and speculation, then they should not continue to buy, but should gradually sell silver!

"Haha, I think they are crazy too. Who is behind this company? The only people I know about it so far are the Saudis. These Middle Eastern guys have been making a lot of money from oil recently, and it's normal to have a little inflation. But I think it's not just them.

, they alone cannot do this, and the specific information is still under investigation.”

Julian chuckled and ignored Carter's "fuck", but shared the information he knew with Carter.

"Not only us securities dealers, the Futures Commission has also set up an investigation team to investigate this company. But this is not important. It is a good thing for us to have someone acting as a banker. At least, we don't have to worry about buying silver and then

It's in your hands! Think about it, what do you think? If you are interested, I can personally lend you $500,000, and we can take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit."

"You really believe in me, and you're not afraid that I won't have the money to pay you back if you lose money?"

Carter thought about it and felt that what Julian said made sense. Indeed, what did this international metal investment company want to do, and what does it have to do with him?

When they are at a high level, they have to recycle a large amount of silver, which is equivalent to buying the silver themselves. Even if it is sold at a high price, they will still want it! As for the future, do they really monopolize the BY market, or they just can't hold it anymore and declare bankruptcy?

What does it matter to you?

As long as I can sell the silver to them before they go bankrupt. So, how long can they carry it?

Saudis? Oil...

"Hahaha, tell me a joke, you Carter can't afford to pay back half a million dollars! I'm afraid you still don't know how crazy Rogers and the others are this year, right? Now, in October, less than two months ago, their book profit has exceeded 100,000 US dollars.

Twenty percent! In other words, the 6 million US dollars you invested in their fund is now 7.2 million US dollars!"

"How long has it been? This year has been really crazy... To be honest, Rogers and the others are crazy, and this bullshit metal investment company is also crazy. Everyone is crazy! Go crazy, go crazy, be crazy...

"

"Hahaha, okay, I agree! I will fax you the power of attorney later, and you can directly use the account I left in Kidder to operate! But I am timid, just one month, and after one month, no matter whether I make money or

If there is a loss, all positions will be cleared."

Carter couldn't help but smile when he heard that Quantum Fund was doing well this year. Although 20% was not the average annual return rate in the history of Quantum Fund, as Julian said, how long has it been?

Even if there are still ups and downs in the future, the annual return of 30% is not a big problem!

In this situation where funds were not tight and Julian was relatively trustworthy, Carter no longer hesitated. He didn't even bother to ask about the interest rate. After giving a time limit, he left it to Julian to operate.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. That's why I called you this time. Thank you for your trust, Carter!"

"You're welcome, I want to thank you too, Julie. Never forget me when good things happen, hahaha!"

Like Carter, Julian is also too lazy to mention interest. For them, the amount of interest on this kind of fund lending is no longer important.

After hanging up the phone with Julian, Carter dialed the number left by Paul.

As the saying goes, if we are three people together, we must have someone to teach us. Julian's financial knowledge has not been learned by Carter for the time being, but Julian's ability to deal with people is enough to make Carter, who is not aware of it, sigh with emotion.

Thinking about the whole process of getting acquainted with Julian, he was sincere from the beginning, not dismissive, and right in the right place... He didn't deceive himself because he was a layman, nor did he do anything for him because of his rich professional knowledge.

practice.

Even now, even if we have only cooperated once, it can be said that we met by chance, and at most we get along well with each other. After the chance meeting, we can still keep a phone call every two weeks or so to maintain a constant relationship and a constant sense of presence. If there is good things, think of each other, even if

Julian also said that he wanted to transfer part of the speculative risk, but this kind of sincerity and approach also made people feel quite comfortable, and even warmed their hearts.

It’s always a good feeling to be missed and missed by others. Of course, the premise is that you can’t be missed by thieves!

After realizing that Julian had done this very well, Carter secretly said that he had been negligent and immediately started selling it.

"Hello? Is it Paul? I'm Carter, Carter Black..."
