Without waiting for Zhou Jiao to make a decision, Zhang Guoqing waved his hand and said, "Contact the black market and call them immediately to inform them to use as much leverage as possible."
"Are you sure?"
Zhang Guoqing narrowed his eyes and looked at the desk again. On it was an open notebook in which Zhou Jiao listed various major events in history.
--In the fall of 1980, crude oil prices on the spot market rose sharply, from $31 a barrel before the war to $40 a barrel in early December.
By the end of the year, crude oil prices had fallen to $35.50 per barrel and continued to fall. By July 1981, crude oil prices were only 5 percent higher than pre-war levels, and this price level continued to remain...
He sighed secretly: This silly wife! Such a good opportunity, why not give it a try?
"After all, I'm not abroad, so forget about Dayi and the others' funds. If I really want..."
Zhang Guoqing was full of enthusiasm. "What are you afraid of? If they lose money, at most they'll get their principal back. The most important thing now is the margin. Do you think they're feeling any pressure?"
Zhou Jiao smiled brightly. "The deposit must be fine, otherwise Xiao Ming wouldn't ask me if I wanted to start it. But, brother, it's a shame that we have a lot of debt to pay off."
She had calculated that the gold in the space could not be sold. The country probably couldn't consume it, and abroad? Humph, there was no way to add to the reserves of those countries outside.
However, if the situation abroad is really out of her control and she suffers losses, she can still afford it.
Not to mention the boxes of foreign currency cash in the space, even those oil paintings that I bought abroad should be worth a lot of money after almost twenty years.
Zhang Guoqing scratched her nose and said with a smile, "No big deal. At most, I'll take you abroad after I retire from the army, and then we can rob the rich and help the poor."
Zhou Jiao looked at him with shining eyes. Why did she find herself falling more and more in love with the man in front of her?
With his words, she felt more confident. Just as he said, what are you afraid of? Before, she might have considered the Miao family's opinion.
Now, let’s hear what Miao Tianming has to say.
It would be impossible for her to go abroad to pay the deposit.
So, the next day she and Heizi contacted Miao Tianming again. On the phone, Zhou Jiao did not ask how much total funds she had so far.
As soon as the call was connected, she asked how much margin would be required if she started futures leverage and what was the maximum amount?
"Sister, these aren't problems. My dad said that with your small amount of money, he wouldn't even have to tell my uncle or the others. 400 times the money would be no problem. Do you want to play?"
Zhou Jiao held her forehead when she heard that. He is so damn rich!
If this wasn't a problem, what else could be? Since he'd said so, it would be petty to back down.
Zhou Jiao immediately agreed to start the lever.
As for the losses, she didn't mention it, and he didn't mention it either. Even Zhou Jiao praised his character. Of course, it was estimated that the Miao family had made a lot of money these few times.
"Sister, is there anything else I need to pay attention to during this operation?"
"Remember this: from the current $31 a barrel, the highest forecast is for a price increase to $40 a barrel. The timeframe is set to December 5th. I will contact you by phone on that day."
"Okay, I'll go long on this wave. I've made a note of it."
Zhou Jiao burst out laughing.
This brat is quite smart. He can hear the implication of what he said and how he will be shorted next.
As soon as they walked out of the post office, Heizi stared at her with shining eyes, "Jiao Jie, which language are you speaking this time? Tianming is really good, he can speak everything."
Zhou Jiao was stunned when she heard this. "Wow, I hadn't really noticed. This guy can speak at least four languages now. But it's not surprising. The country he's in now uses a mix of four languages."
Heizi's mouth dropped open in surprise. "I thought English was enough. What kind of country is that?"
Zhou Jiao burst out laughing, and seeing someone on the opposite side about to bump into the silly old guy, she quickly pulled him aside.
"Think about it this way. Don't we have many local dialects in our country? They're pretty much the same. And English is just like Mandarin abroad. You should keep learning it."
"I don't want to learn anymore. It's useless even if I learn it."
Zhou Jiao glared at him, "How could there be none? If we go back to play with Tianming, will we have to keep gesturing with our hands?"
Heizi laughed out loud, "I'm not going. Tianming said last time that it was a good thing we sent him chili peppers, otherwise he would have wanted to run back."
Zhou Jiao rolled her eyes speechlessly, and just then she saw a foreigner on the street, so she quickly winked at him to take a good look over there.
At the same time, she also quietly reminded him, "See? The better our country develops, the more foreigners will come here. We can lose our membership and not even understand what they say."
Heizi glanced into the distance and replied uncertainly, "Can they understand English? I met one at the Friendship Store last time, and we only knew hello."
Zhou Jiao was choked by his words and glared at him, "Just tell me whether you want to learn or not?"
"Oh, learn, learn, it works. Maybe I'll just meet that stupid bird. But, Sister Jiao, have you discovered one thing?"
Zhou Jiao shook her head. Who knows what ideas will come up in your mind?
Heizi glanced around and lowered his voice again, "Foreign exchange certificates are very valuable right now. Many middlemen buy foreign exchange certificates by speaking English to foreigners. They don't even need to be proficient in English; they just say hello and raise their hands and they're done."
Ever since the Overseas Chinese Remittance Vouchers were changed to Foreign Exchange Vouchers in early summer, Zhou Jiao knew how popular this type of voucher was, but she never expected that someone would discover the business opportunity in it in just a few months.
Shouldn't this have waited until the mid-1980s to become popular?
It can be seen that there are many smart people in Beijing.
Zhou Jiao looked at the honest Heizi and warned him worriedly, "Don't do this job. If you find anything wrong, remember to tell me."
"No, I'm a coward."
"That's good. Although reselling can bring huge profits, we still have to prioritize safety. Don't try to make a living unless you're struggling to make ends meet."
"I understand. We're living well now, but if something goes wrong it'll be the end of us."
With her around, it wouldn't be all over. But Zhou Jiao really didn't approve of taking risks. Heizi was no longer the orphan who had lost his only grandmother.
He has a wife, a son, a daughter, and a small courtyard. Both the husband and wife are working, and with the occasional subsidies from Miao Tianming, they live a smooth life.
If she really made friends with those overly shrewd middlemen, she was worried that Heizi would be eaten without leaving even a bone.
Then she and Zhang Guoqing would be so sorry to the old grandmother who had asked them to take care of her grandson before she died.
After separating from Heizi, Zhou Jiao accomplished a big thing, and now she just had to wait for Miao Tianming's action.
After much consideration, she decided to let Zhang Guoqing hide the secret from her father Zhou Xiaozheng when using futures leverage this time.
In fact, her father is too smart and can guess every move.
Anyway, we’ll deal with it later if we make money, but what if we lose money?
If it was a loss, she would not tell him anything, so that he would not have to worry about herself when he was busy with national affairs.
