America 1979

Chapter 40
There is a loophole here. If Bill can prove that he did not receive the money in the second contract, he should be able to file a lawsuit and not have to pay back the money, but this is the leader of the gang, and touching their interests will kill people. Bill doesn't want to die young.

Lawyer Pete, who was with him, seemed to see through Bill's thoughts, and leaned over to his ear to remind: "They have a lot of ways to prove that you received the money. Gang members who walk on the edge of the law know better than anyone how to evade the law but can Make big money."

With the help of the bartender brother, Attorney Pete's hourly rate was reduced to $25, and he had to pay after the matter was settled.

Bill felt that the money was well spent, at least he was reminded.

"Gentlemen, you also know that the law is used to avoid it. According to the law, the strippers are not allowed to be full, so they smartly learn to wear high heels, which makes their services better and more interesting. .”

The matter was basically settled, Ren was in a good mood and started to make some jokes.

The three witnesses in the same company circulated the two contracts in turn, and lawyer Pete specially reviewed them from the beginning, confirming that as long as the money is paid back, everything is OK.

"Lawyer Pete, don't worry, I'm a businessman, and this is a good thing. If Bill can pay back the money on time, then I'll earn $[-] in three months. If not, I'll be responsible for his brokerage contract." It's gone."

Ren said while smiling at the silent old Jack.

Old Jack also returned a smile.

After confirming that Bill agreed to sign the two contracts, Ryan took people to a nearby Wells Fargo branch by car, and filled out a form at the counter to transfer money on the spot.

Established in 1852, Wells Fargo is the bank with the most branches in the entire United States. Residents of several nearby communities should be customers of this branch.

Bill also had an account with the bank, and after confirming that the $11 had arrived in his account, he signed two loan contracts.

"Son, I wish you earn money as soon as possible, and repay my principal and interest." At the bank gate, Rennes blessed Bill in this way, and then drove away with his own people.

When they walked away, Lawyer Pete shook his head helplessly, "I don't know what he said to brainwash you so that you must borrow this money. If it was me, I would rather queue up and go to the bank and wait."

Bill took out a twenty-dollar bill and a five-dollar bill, handed them to the lawyer, and explained: "The situation is a bit urgent, and only he can borrow money so quickly. Don't worry, I will pay it back."

The current bank is really a big man. The boom of advanced consumption in the 70s has not faded. Bill, a temporarily worthless user, has to wait in line for a loan of one or two thousand dollars, and such a large amount of 11 dollars is even unthinkable.

Seeing that the words of admonition were not listened to, Pete didn't talk nonsense, shook his head, went to his car and drove away.

Godfather Ailon drove away after Bill signed. Before leaving, he praised Bill for being strong and strong, and he would have a good future if he played well. He didn't say anything else.But looking at his eyes, he also felt that Bill's behavior of borrowing usury at a young age was hopeless.

Old Jack praised Bill's behavior, "I heard from my nephew that you have a bright future playing football and can make a lot of money. Since you will have money in the future, it doesn't matter if you are happy now."

He mistakenly thought that the young man in front of him had borrowed money to go off, but Bill didn't say anything, but just smiled at him kindly.

After the money was in hand, we had to hurry up. Bill took the old Jack's car back to the neighborhood, and then went to the house to find Anthony to get the key.

The New York Mercantile Exchange NYMEX is next to the New York Stock Exchange, which is the financial center of Manhattan. It is early eleven o'clock, and there is still time to catch up with today's trip.

To Bill's surprise, the second uncle actually came to persuade Anthony not to move out on weekdays, "I opposed you to hang out with gangs before, but now I lower the requirements. You can hang out with them, but don't leave your father. If you leave Now, he's ashamed in front of his colleagues, neighbors, and relatives."

Two days ago, Anthony talked and talked, and finally got his parents to agree that he would go out to work during the day and come back at night to find a way to discuss this matter. Today, he was stuck at home again.

The second uncle, who hadn't seen him for a long time, stopped brainwashing his nephew after seeing Bill coming home, and asked why he appeared at home.

"Didn't you go to school again? Why are you thinking about not going to school again? I thought you were more motivated than Anthony, but I didn't expect it to be the same..."

Bill didn't want to get involved in the encirclement and suppression of Anthony by his uncle and uncle, so he only excused that he had something to do and really needed to take a day off, and then wandered over to his cousin standing in front of the TV to get the keys.

"What can you do? You're just a child. Could it be that you still have a girlfriend who needs your attention?"

It may be that Anthony did not respond to the scolding, which made the second uncle unable to feel the charm of language output, so the second uncle turned the conversation to Bill who had just entered the door.

"You're thinking wrong, Coach Murphy asked me to meet with a college football assistant coach, and said that this person might help me in my studies. You know, I can apply to college after I play two seasons, Now that the season has gone through a few games, I've done really well..."

Bill lied casually, then quickly walked out of the door under the dubious gaze of the second uncle, and drove straight to Manhattan.

From Brooklyn to Manhattan, you can take the ferry, or you can drive over the Brooklyn Bridge, Bill chooses the latter.

Although you can see the famous Statue of Liberty by taking a ferry into downtown Manhattan, it is 79 and you need to pay to cross the river by ferry. The mayor of New York who made the ferry free has not yet come to power.Although Bill has borrowed money now, in the spirit of saving what he can, he drove across the river from the bridge.

After looking for a place to buy two cheap pizzas for lunch, Bill parked his car a long way from the financial center and walked there.

The reason for doing this is that the area near Wall Street, the financial center of Manhattan, is really small. Wall Street is a street of 400 meters, and there is no parking space.

The New York Mercantile Exchange mainly deals in energy and rare metal futures, and silver is also involved, but the volume is smaller than that of the Chicago Board of Trade CBOT.

After entering, it took a lot of time to find a brokerage company to open an account and transfer money into the account. After Bill finished all the preparations, the day's trading was over in more than 20 minutes.

Fortunately, he arrived in time, and with the help of the trader, he won three silver futures contracts.

The logic of the futures market is that the banker is the banker and the retail investors follow the banker. However, because the Hunter brothers played too much this time, they adjusted silver to a level that retail investors could not imagine. The futures price dropped slightly, and Bill got 18.86 lots at $150 an ounce, which is [-] ounces.

Among them, the margin required by the exchange is [-] US dollars per contract, the margin required by the brokerage company is [-] US dollars per contract, and [-] US dollars are used for the three contracts.Because he knew that the exchange would ask for a margin call after the silver case, Bill did not invest all the borrowed money, leaving some room for it.
