The three of them immediately sat down to eat.
When working outside, Zhang Bin actually doesn't have the airs of a boss.
On the contrary, he sometimes talks too much during meals.
At 3:30 in the afternoon, Hao Ren and Wang Zihang came over.
However, Zhang Bin didn't need any special instructions, just follow the current trend.
As for whether oil futures will continue to rise, this is not a question they should be concerned about, but a question Zhang Bin, the boss, should be concerned about.
Shen Qian and Mao Shiyang listened nearby and realized that Zhang Bin was speculating in oil futures in London, and he didn't have a small amount of money.
During the conversation, Zhang Bin discovered that perhaps because of the six months of living in London, the three of them seemed somewhat different from them in terms of speech and behavior.
Zhang Bin asked Hao Ren if he planned to settle abroad.
Hao Ren said that he had no such idea for the time being, but Wang Zihang and his wife were a little hesitant now.
They seem to be more accustomed to life in London, but they don't want to go back to the United States.
However, the exact location is yet to be determined.
In the evening, Zhang Bin welcomed his guest, Dan Ever.
"Hi Zhang, long time no see."
When he saw Zhang Bin, Ivor hugged him directly.
"Are you satisfied with the hotel arrangements?
I hope you have a good rest," Ivor said with a smile.
"Of course, thank you, Ivor, my friend."
Zhang Bin opened a bottle of red wine and poured it for himself and Ivor.
This is a bottle of 1989 Lafite.
The price in the hotel is about 8,000 US dollars.
"I have to say that this bottle of wine cost me a month's salary," Ivor said with a pained face, and then smiled, "But I am very willing to drink this cup with Zhang."
Zhang Bin and Ivor had a drink together.
Zhang Bin smiled.
Ivor would not pay for it himself.
This accommodation must be calculated on the company's account.
"Whenever you come to my house, I'll treat you to a drink.
You know, Mr.
Harlan and I are friends," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
"Yes, why didn't I expect that?
It's agreed, Zhang, I'm going to China this summer to see this legendary country.
Then you have to receive me well," Ivor said with a smile.
"It's a deal," Zhang Bin raised his glass again.
After some exchanges, the two finally got to the point at some point.
"Well, Ivor, you know I will be very busy at this time, but I still insist on coming over in person.
I wonder if you can help me solve a financial problem," Zhang Bin said.
"Okay, Zhang, I don't know about you yet.
You made so much money in the second half of last year, and you are still short of money," Ivor said jokingly.
"I'm serious.
My money has been invested elsewhere.
I hope you can help me borrow $600 million for Brent futures today," Zhang Bin said.
"Six hundred million U.S. dollars."
Ivor put down his wine glass, his face became serious, and he confirmed again.
"That's right, it's 600 million US dollars," Zhang Bin said.
Ivor looked embarrassed and said: "Zhang, you have to know that you have borrowed 500 million US dollars from us."

"I know, I believe in you, Ivor, you know, I will not fail, lend me 600 million US dollars, I will give you three points of interest, and return it to you with interest at the end of the year."
Zhang Bin said seriously "Zhang, you are really crazy.
Do you know that you will be easily exposed if you do this?"
Ivor couldn't help but remind me, "And please give me a reason to believe why you did this."
Zhang Bin smiled and said: "Do you think crude oil futures will continue to rise?"
Ivor was a little unsure.
He hesitated for a while and said: "According to the current trend, I think there is still at most ten dollars, which is crazy enough and it can't go up any more."
Zhang Bin smiled and said: "No, I think it will still rise, to a height that we all think is impossible."
"Why do you think so?"
Ivor was very surprised.
Zhang Bin's tone seemed very sure.
Where did he get his confidence from?
"Do you believe in genius?"
Zhang Bin gave up and looked at Ivor.
Ivor gave a bitter smile and said: "Zhang, even if I lend you the money, your account has too much money.
I can't hide it by myself.
Do you know if you add these six Billion dollars, you will be known to everyone."
"So what if you know, is this illegal?"
Zhang Bin said with a shrug.
"Of course not.
You are in legitimate business competition, but you will inevitably be targeted by some people.
You know, the US dollar will never lack the temptation," Ivor said.
"So I hope you can help me," Zhang Bin continued, "In this way, Ivor, I know that Goldman Sachs' ability will not be a problem if you want to hide my situation.
I will use the funds in my hand to do it.
Mortgage, you lend me 600 million U.S. dollars, and I pay three-cent annual interest.
In addition, you can earn 1% of all my profits."
Zhang Bin has already bled his blood.
An annual profit of three points means that by the end of the year, he will need to pay an interest rate of 18 million U.S. dollars and a profit of 1.
According to his estimation, the profit this year will be at least 3 billion U.S. dollars, that is Thirty million U.S. dollars.
At this rate, it would be a direct gift of fifty million U.S. dollars to them.
Ivor was silent for a long time, and finally raised his glass and said to Zhang Bin: "I swear, Zhang, you are definitely the craziest investor I have ever seen, bar none."
Ivor has been in the industry for more than ten years, and this is the first time he has seen someone so desperate.
Even those investment giants will not put all their wealth into it when they are relatively confident, because the market will always have risks.
Zhang Bin is not relatively confident, but very confident.
Judging from the situation last year, there has been almost no change in the historical trend.
His billions of dollars in funds are probably just a bubbling effect and will not affect the final outcome at all.
Zhang Bin felt that borrowing money this time was more difficult than he thought.
It is easy to imagine that the last time he borrowed money, it was because he also had the same capital in his hands.
Ivor was not worried.
Although he still had capital when he borrowed money this time, after all, the US$500 million last time had not been repaid.
The financial crisis has begun to emerge.
Goldman Sachs, as a leader in investment institutions, has naturally seen this possibility, so it has also begun to think of ways to narrow the outflow of funds and have as much cash as possible to prevent any problems. .
It is not a wise choice to invest in real estate or other places at this time.
Who knows whether it will directly become a bubble in the next moment.
This is also the reason for Ivor's concerns.

If Zhang Bin's investment fails, there is no doubt that his career will be over, so he has to be cautious.
Moreover, if more than one billion US dollars is lent to the same person, this is not something that Ivor can decide.
Ivor left and asked Zhang Bin to wait for the news and reply to him within three days.
The bottle of red wine was not finished, there were still a few glasses left.
Zhang Bin poured three glasses, placed them in front of him, and let Mao Shiyang and Shen Qian come in.
"Lafite from 1989, a bottle of 8,000 US dollars, done."
Zhang Bin took a glass and smiled at the two of them.
Both of them had been working for a few years, had a lot of social events, and drank a lot of red wine, but this was the first time they drank such expensive red wine.
Both of them raised their glasses, clinked them with Zhang Bin, and then drank them all.
On the 21st, while Zhang Bin was waiting for news about Ivor, he met another heavyweight capitalist, John Paulson, who is now the number one hedge funder who has begun to become famous.
That night, after drinking a full glass of red wine, Shen Qian returned to her room and couldn't help but write excitedly in her diary, "I drank a glass of red wine worth eight thousand US dollars today
