:09:16
l can't see any problem in you
handling both sides of the operation.
:09:20
- At least until volumes increase.
- Right.
:09:22
You shouldn't need more than two
on the trading floor.
:09:25
A couple more in the back office.
:09:27
No need to pay top dollar.
:09:29
Get them young, get them hungry
and train them up.
:09:32
- l'm a bottom line kind of guy, Nick.
- Absolutely. That's my philosophy.
:09:37
l took him at his word.
My team were young, hungry...
:09:40
..and they didn't have a clue.
:09:41
A futures contract allows you to buy or
sell a specified amount of a commodity...
:09:46
..at a specified price at a future date.
:09:52
Right. Um...
:09:53
lt's like, if l agree to sell you this cup
of cappuccino, which l don't yet own,...
:09:58
..at 45 cents a month from now...
:10:00
lf l can buy the cappuccino at,
say, 43 cents, l make a profit.
:10:04
lf the price goes the other way
l have to pay more, and l lose.
:10:07
lt's timing - buying and selling
at the right moment.
:10:10
Sometimes espresso might be
the best deal, or salt, or pepper.
:10:13
So, we're running a supermarket?
:10:17
We're not buying and selling
anything real.
:10:20
lt's just numbers - contracts
based on the value of the Nikkei,...
:10:23
..the Tokyo stock market.
:10:25
- Er, we do this for the bank?
- No, no, for the customers.
:10:28
We are not allowed to trade
on behalf of the bank.
:10:31
Be sure you remember that, all right?
:10:34
Other dealers wear red jackets. All same.
Red is lucky Chinese colour.
:10:38
Well, we want to stand out. We're a
new operation. We need to be noticed.
:10:42
May be bad luck. Different colour.
:10:44
Bollocks. We make our own luck.
:10:46
Nick's right.
We're cool dudes, man. Whoo!
:10:50
