Chapter 67 Travel to California
Bill looked at Joe Gage who was leaving, and asked Andrew, "What's the matter with this man? What about the wife and the house you mentioned?"

He remembered that when he traded with this person before, this big fat trader who claimed to be a fan was quite friendly to him. Why did he look at Bill with a hostile look when he met today, and he didn't even say a word of greeting.

Andrew glanced at Joe Gage's back and sneered, "He thought you were a lucky fool, so he also imitated your operation and bought a long position in silver at a high of fifty dollars an ounce. You also know that now He was delusional until Silver Thursday and now the bubble has popped and Joe Gage is almost broke."

"What does bankruptcy have to do with his wife?" Bill was curious, are all American women so snobbish?
Andrew replied politely: "He is a trader, so naturally he can't buy futures in his own name, so he bought silver futures in his wife's name and mortgaged his house in the bank. According to peers, Joe Gage's The wife is going to sue him, in the name of the husband completing the transaction without her knowledge, so that the property can be cut. This way they can keep some money. I don't know if the two really broke up. .”

He told his big customers what he knew.

Bill nodded, "So that's the case. I'm very interested in this person. You can also help me find out more about his specific situation. If he really goes bankrupt and separates from his wife completely, let me know next time we meet."

This Joe Gage is the white man who fits Bill's image of a nouveau riche best. He not only litters in public places, but also has no quality in his speech. He has an F and Bichi vocabulary in every sentence, and his face is full of looks. Cross meat.

In one sentence, Joe Gage is a perfect dogleg image.

After Bill enters college next year, he will need a full-time agent to help him with publicity, contact with professional teams and other matters.He thought about finding a large brokerage company to do this before, but the big company charged high fees. In addition to the basic [-]%, they may also use other terms to charge more, which made Bill very unhappy.

If a separate agent is found to do this, Bill feels that the cost ratio can be controlled within 5.00%, and the annual playing income is 40, and a contract is signed for four years, which can save at least [-] US dollars.

Bill is not the richest man in the world, so the province still has to save it.

"Okay." Andrew also wrote down this order in his notebook, "Actually, according to Joe Gage's situation, no matter how he operates, he will definitely not be able to continue to be a trader in the future. The Futures Trading Commission will most likely give a Punishment of life ban."

He thought that the big customer in front of him still wanted to have a deal with Joe Gage, so he reminded him.

But this is exactly what Bill wants. A futures trader is actually a broker, and a football broker is also a broker. If that big fat man has no way out, Bill can handle him better, and the percentage of the brokerage contract can be even lower.

The matter was revealed at this point, and the real focus of the conversation between the two was Mr. Ferrari's gold long order.

"This time I have 70 funds in hand. Seven times leverage is a bit big, so I will use five times leverage to buy gold futures long orders with 50 as margin. Calculate how many lots of gold I can buy."

With a deposit of 50 plus five times leverage, you can buy [-] ounces of gold.

After the trader Andrew took out his calculator and calculated, he suggested that Bill only buy [-] ounces, which is the maximum quantity of a contract.

"Fifty hands, that is, five thousand ounces is the most appropriate. You have quite a lot of funds at your disposal..."

Bill interrupted his nonsense, "Just as the professionals said, use 50 funds to buy a gold multi-single contract."

This time the holding time is longer, at least until the end of the year, when Bill is in the second football season of his high school career, which makes him worry a lot less in the middle.

……

Time flies, and the whole of New York has become warmer since March and April. Because the sea regulates the temperature, in May and June, Brooklyn becomes neither too hot nor too cold, making it very livable.

In April after the end of the spring break, the Hamotun school team started another round of intensive training, but there was nothing new, and the training programs were almost unchanged from January and February.

The deficiencies of the high school team began to appear. Factors such as insufficient number of coaches, insufficient vision, and insufficient professionalism have limited the further strengthening of some outstanding players.

But for Bill, who became a monk halfway, the guidance of the three coaches was barely enough. At least he made up for the shortcomings of passing the ball, and he also made breakthroughs in flexibility such as dodging and running. The strengthening of upper body strength also solidified Bill's persistence. Strong advantage in ball propulsion.

During the six weeks of training from April to mid-May, Bill became more familiar with tactical actions such as dynamically receiving the ball behind the offensive and defensive lines, and breaking through with the ball from the pocket, which made him more capable of performing as a qualified tight end.

"Actually, with your physical fitness, it's more suitable to play a brutal fullback." Coach Murphy once commented on Bill, but he didn't change Bill's position. Thinking about it, Bill's forty-yard sprint speed may not be eye-catching enough. consider.

In short, after a few months of fulfilling life, Bill ushered in his own summer vacation.

The summer vacation of American high schools usually lasts for two or three months, from mid-June to mid-August, and some states and high schools vary slightly according to their specific conditions.

After confirming the time of the vacation and the two summer camps at Stanford and UCLA, Bill decided to postpone his sister Dorothy's college entrance banquet until he came back.

Anyway, there are two months of free time in July and August, so there is no rush to do this between June 25th and June [-]th.

After hugging the send-off family, Bill and a male secretary from Scout Jones' team boarded a plane for a two-game football camp trip across the country to California.

The name of the male secretary was Brunwell, he was tall and thin, and he had never worked in the rugby industry before. Jones was able to do this job purely to save money.

"Let me tell you, your performance is enough to apply to the University of Chicago and Ohio State University. Why don't you consider the ones close to home? Although Stanford University is also a famous school, its football strength may only be among the top ten goalkeepers in the country. For this school Across the continent..."

On the plane, Branwell asked what he had been wondering all along.

He thought it was not worthwhile for Bill to go to these two schools in California.

Of course, Mr. Ferrari will not say what he really thinks. Stanford has not been driven away by Silicon Valley and a large number of alumni donations. Its status in the hearts of Americans is indeed not high, even worse than that of Ohio State University.

"It's mainly because I like the social atmosphere of the West Coast. You know, the Northeast where New York is located is too conservative."
