Island Tycoon

Chapter 71 Black Market Agent
If it weren't for "Yin and Yang", which turned out to be out of nowhere, the first local movie on Hong Kong Island to break the box office of [-] million would have been taken away by "Junior and Brother" starring Chenglong.

This 1980 annual box office champion has been questioned in later generations. One theory is that its box office was as high as 100 million. gap.

However, Ye Jingcheng prefers the first theory, regardless of the quality of the film.Given that City Dragon is Golden Harvest's top card, there is no reason for the theaters not to let it be screened across the board.And under the high degree of film arrangement, the box office of any film in a single day can exceed this amount.

Take "Interstellar Blunt", which has been extremely bad in the past few years, as an example. There was a lot of criticism when it was screened all over the line, but it can still earn more than 600 million at the box office after several days of release.What's more, Chenglong is now a popular actor in Asia, and it is impossible to only have a score of more than 100 million based on his own box office appeal.

But this is Ye Jingcheng's headache. To shoot a movie with the same theme and surpass it, even he still finds it very difficult.It is not that there are no corresponding stories, on the contrary, there are quite a few.

The question is where to find the leading actors in it?This person also needs to have a certain foundation in martial arts, and there are only a few famous stars in Hong Kong Island.In addition to Golden Harvest's Chenglong and Hong Jinbao, other candidates like Li Lianjie and Zhen Zidan who can bear the banner have not even made their debut yet. Where is he going to find them?
Seeing Ye Jingcheng's embarrassment, Lei Juekun sighed.Taking a step back and asking: "It doesn't mean that you must fight the opponent, as long as you can have a little contact with the opponent during the New Year."

In fact, Lei Juekun undoubtedly wanted to demonstrate to Golden Harvest, proving that Princess Jin can also make classic martial arts films.The score doesn't have to be better than the other party, because Princess Jin has the excuse of being newly established, and it's normal that the score is not as good as the other party.

If one surpasses the other without realizing it, Princess Jin will have a great advantage, whether it is the film itself or the direction of public opinion.

"Lei Sheng, let me tell you this. It's not that there are no themes in the movie. The question is who will be the leading actor?" After pondering for a while, Ye Jingcheng expressed his worries.

Who knew that this question was correct, Lei Juekun wasn't in the slightest bit of trouble, he pointed at Ye Jingcheng with a pipe and said, "You."

"Me?" Ye Jingcheng pointed at himself. He didn't expect the other party to have such an answer, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

"Yes, with your skill, I dare not say that you are better than Jiahe's Chenglong and Hong Jinbao, but at least you are not inferior to them. Besides, you have another advantage..." Lei Juekun said as if joking. Said: "You are prettier than both of them."

Forehead!Ye Jingcheng was speechless, he didn't think about it at all, is this all right?

"Lei Sheng, let me go back and think about it." Or he is really a suitable candidate, not because of his appearance, but because he believes that he is absolutely capable of handling it.

The problem is that he has his own schedule next, and there may be conflicts in time.If he had to choose between the two, he would choose to suspend the filming of the movie.

"Alright then." Lei Juekun knew that this matter could not be forced.It's good for Ye Jingcheng to agree, but there's nothing he can do if he doesn't agree.

In fact, his idea is to have Ye Jingcheng lead the leading role. If he really can't find the script, he can completely restore the previous bank robbery. Just like this, no one will watch it.But it doesn't matter if you change the scene, isn't this what Ye Jingcheng is best at?

As long as the movie produced is not too bad, Princess Jin has the capital to demonstrate to Jiahe.

……

Hong Kong Island Commodity Exchange.

"Brother Ye, I've been waiting for a long time." Unlike the last time, Yuan Tianfan met Ye Jingcheng this time. Apart from his signature smile, he also went to the door to wait in person.

There was a hug between brothers, and Ye Jingcheng said: "Brother Fan, you are so funny, have you been promoted again?"

"I'd like to see if I can get some face from you, bro." Yuan Tianfan looked relieved, it looked like he was joking, but also he seemed to be telling the truth.

He could guess Ye Jingcheng's general movements. If he could use this to help him earn a fortune, let alone the person in charge of an exchange, it is very likely that the head office will transfer him back to work.

Inviting Ye Jingcheng to the office, Yuan Tianfan told his secretary not to disturb him, but to call inside to inform him if something happened.Then he took out an iron box from the showcase and carefully poured out some of the tea inside.

Different from the usual tea sets, Yuan Tianfan used independent tea cups, that is, those tea sets with a lid.Put a little tea into it first, and then roll it with boiling water.Then he handed it to Ye Jingcheng and said, "Brother Ye, how about trying my monkey?"

"Not bad." Ye Jingcheng took a few mouthfuls, he didn't know how to drink tea.But the tea that Yuan Tianfan brought out was obviously several grades higher than ordinary tea.

First of all, the aroma is fragrant and fresh, and it smells a bit like peach.And the taste is not like Pu'er, it tastes sweet and moistens the throat, there will be no bitterness before sweetness, and it is very smooth to drink.

Yuan Tianfan smiled, handed the prepared documents to Ye Jingcheng, and then picked up his teacup to sip the tea.

Ye Jingcheng was not polite to him, no matter how delicious this cup of tea is, to him it is no different from boiling water, it is used to quench his thirst.The first thing he got was a few profiles, which were exactly the talents he had entrusted Yuan Tianfan to help find.

There are five copies in total, and Ye Jingcheng simply checked and selected two of them.

"Only these two people, Brother Fan, help me ask them out these two days." One of the two remaining people is called Cao Renchao, and the other is called Li Zhengping.

The reason why Cao Renchao was kept was simple, because Ye Jingcheng knew that there was such a person, who would be known as the stock god of Hong Kong Island in later generations.

As for the reason for keeping Li Zhengping, it is simpler than Cao Renchao, because of the information filled in above.

The first-generation trader in Hong Kong Island once had a record of earning tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in one hour.This record is not something he boasted about, but it was written by Yuan Tianfan after investigation, and his ability has been clearly placed there.

Logically speaking, such a talent would not be chosen by Ye Jingcheng at all.

It’s just that this person’s personality is too impulsive. Although he made tens of millions of dollars in gold speculation in 72, when he speculated in margin trading in 77, he knew that the situation was not right, so he was reluctant to cut his position, and he lost everything in the end. Now I have to work for others to accumulate funds.

What Ye Jingcheng liked was not his vision, but his ability as a trader.

"No problem." Yuan Tianfan responded.

Ye Jingcheng picked up the second document, which was the same as last time.Various assessments have been made on Ye Jingcheng and Qingdeng Entertainment, and these assessments will affect Ye Jingcheng's loan amount.

Last time, his maximum loan amount was 300 million.But this time, after he became famous, the number has doubled seven times.Coupled with the funds he has now, the amount available for operation is 3000 million.

"Brother Ye, don't you mind telling me about your investment intention?"

At this time, Yuan Tianfan finally got to the point. He was really curious about Ye Jingcheng's next actions. If the other party can still achieve the effect of the previous few times, then he will also benefit a lot from this matter.

"I want to speculate in a large amount of futures, what advice does Brother Fan have?" Ye Jingcheng didn't hide any more. To carry out such a large transaction, he had to find a powerful bank agent, and HSBC behind Yuan Tianfan was perfect.

"If you guessed right, Brother Ye, you should be planning to find a HSBC agent to help you register a sub-account on the corresponding platform?" Yuan Tianfan said.

"That's right, the so-called one thing does not bother two masters, this matter still has to trouble you, Brother Fan." Ye Jingcheng has already planned this matter. He does not have the ability and funds to open an account, so he can only apply for one through the bank. sub-account.

"This is not a problem. I can even help you get the lowest brokerage commission of 0.25%. But there is one thing I want to ask. Brother Ye, do you plan to go long or short in futures?" Yuan Tianfan frowned, as if Therein lies the conundrum.

"Is there a difference?" Ye Jingcheng was puzzled.

He was just a monk who became a monk halfway, and it was normal for him not to know some professional knowledge, so Yuan Tianfan was asked to explain it clearly to him.

"There's a big difference. If you're just going long, it's enough for you to find someone to go to the market." After a pause, Yuan Tianfan said in a deep tone: "If you're going short, Hong Kong Island's mechanisms and equipment are not complete. This is very difficult.”

Ye Jingcheng really didn't know about this, if he knew a little bit, he would know.It is not easy to think about securities lending now. First, there are no stock index futures, and second, there are no options for trading.It was not until the stock index appeared in 1987 that futures trading became convenient.

"Unless it's... a black market transaction." Before Ye Jingcheng could ask, Yuan Tianfan came up with a solution.

"Black market?" Ye Jingcheng's mood was a bit serious.

Yuan Tianfan nodded and said, "That's right. And this problem can also be solved through an agent."

"You mean HSBC can do it too? Isn't black market trading illegal?" Ye Jingcheng didn't have a deep understanding of the black market.But literally, you know it's not a good thing.

"Brother Ye, I think you have misunderstood. Black market trading does not mean irregular business. On the contrary, it is more disciplined than normal trading. The reason why it is called black market is because it does not get approval and permission from the government. It's a legal gray area."

Yuan Tianfan resumed his smile and said: "Plus, the boss standing behind me is a capitalist. Whether or not the government approves it is not a prerequisite. The important thing is whether there are more or less benefits."

"If I need a black market agent, HSBC's brokerage commission is more than 0.25%, right?" Anyone who thinks about it will know that the brokerage commission of a black market agent is definitely not cheap.

Yuan Tianfan had already said it so thoroughly, Ye Jingcheng didn't need to hide it anymore.Simply open the skylight and speak plainly.

Yuan Tianfan did not answer directly, but took out a pen and white paper, first wrote 0.25% on it, then crossed out the 0, and moved the decimal point back one.

The original 0.25% brokerage commission was just a sprinkle of water to Ye Jingcheng. After all, a transaction of tens of millions only required a handling fee of tens of thousands of yuan.But now Yuan Tianfan wrote a figure of 2.5%.

The brokerage commission has been increased tenfold, and he has to pay a commission of 3000 yuan for a transaction of 75 million yuan.

At first glance, the handling fee is not very high, but the 3000 million is only Ye Jingcheng's principal, not the final amount in the entire transaction process. If he operates with ten times leverage, the 3000 million in hand will become a deposit , which can be used for him to conduct [-] million transactions.

In other words, no matter whether Ye Jingcheng can make money or not, he has to pay 750 million commissions to HSBC.

"2.5% is 2.5%. Brother Fan, you help me implement it in the past few days. I will see both the funds and the agency rights."

Ye Jingcheng is very sincere about this matter, so let alone [-]%, even if Yuan Tianfan asks him for [-]%, Ye Jingcheng's decision will not change, at most it will take longer to think about it.

"Since you are so confident, Brother Ye, why don't you let me play with it?" Again, just like before, he was joking, but he was also telling the truth.

"It's fine if you trust me." Ye Jingcheng raised the teacup, signaling the other party to continue drinking tea.

"Drink tea, drink tea." Yuan Tianfan raised the teacup in return, and then sipped the tea happily.
