Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 72: $3 billion in profit

   In the following days, either Li Zhiwen and Zhong Chuhong will play like glue in the manor, or go to the Financial City to see the progress of Mars Capital.

It’s worth celebrating that the "Daily Telegraph" acquisition has been almost talked about. Originally Black did not agree to sell, but Holland Kramer used his relationship with Lloyds Bank to put pressure on Black, and Black could only relax. , But there are objections to the acquisition of funds.

Based on the principle of saving money, Holland wanted to keep the "Daily Telegraph" down at 15 million pounds, which was just enough for Black to pay off Lloyds Bank's money, but Black disagreed and bit 20 million pounds. The price is not relaxed.

   Li Zhiwen didn't give any pointers to Hawke's behavior. After all, he was trying to save money for himself. He just told him to complete the acquisition as soon as possible, so that it would not be good to let other investors know about it.

However, the "Daily Mail" has not made much progress. The United Newspaper Company regards it as a non-sale product and does not sell it. Li Zhiwen sneered at such claims and sold so many newspapers. As a result, the "Daily Mail" was not for sale, and Li Zhiwen just let him Hawk increased his bid.

Richfield Atlantic, the owner of The Observer, did not say that the Observer is not for sale, but their asking price is too high, and the Observer is a Sunday newspaper, which is a bit tasteless. The price is too high. In line with Li Zhiwen's expectations, Li Zhiwen only asked Holland to send someone to continue negotiations with Richfield Atlantic in an effort to negotiate the price.

While the "Financial Times" and "Daily Express" were held in person by Hawke, the person in charge of the Pearson Education Group in the "Financial Times" met with Hawke, but Hawke's price was not mentioned. Just let the person in charge block it back, while the Brooke family, who mastered the "Daily Express", had a closed door.

   As for Rover Motors, there was no progress at all. Hawke approached the head of the Leland Automobile Group of the Ministry of Finance, but the person in charge, Sibellittle, was vague and neither agreed nor refused.

This is not to blame for Siber Little. Although Prime Minister Margaret has been crying for privatization for a long time, she did not make any actual big moves. She only carried out pilot projects in the oil field, and the proportion of state-owned components in the oil extraction sector was 25%. %, the proportion of state-owned components in the automobile industry is 50%. No one dares to tell Prime Minister Margaret that he will first pilot the automobile industry with a high proportion of state-owned components, worrying about losing his job.

   Li Zhiwen is still not in position. If he has strong contacts in the UK, these are not problems.

   On the other hand, Zhao Hezhuo reported three times a day that the price of gold reached 800 US dollars an ounce on January 15. Zhao Hezhuo quickly called Li Zhiwen, and Li Zhiwen rushed from the manor to the seed fund company.

   "A Zhuo, how is it?" Li Zhiwen asked Zhao Hezhuo as soon as he arrived in the room.

   "The price of gold broke through the US$800 an ounce mark in the morning. After the breakthrough, the price of gold stopped rising for a while. Just when the boss, you just came, it started to climb again. The price of gold now reaches US$805 an ounce."

"So quickly, it took 5 days to go from 750 US dollars an ounce to 800 US dollars an ounce. Why did it rise by 5 US dollars in less than a while today, A Zhuo, what is the reason for your analysis?" Li Zhiwen frowned and said. In his memory, the price of gold will reach its peak on January 22, at 850 US dollars an ounce. There are logically 7 days to go. Why is the price of gold now like a wild horse running out of hold?

   "Boss, according to my analysis, investors from all over the world should have killed their red eyes. Many investors who were not speculating in gold before entered the market and raised the price of gold. The rate of increase in the price of gold increased." Zhao Hezhuo said.

Li Zhiwen looked at the rising price of gold, and decided not to wait. Don’t have any impact on the price of gold because of your little butterfly. Advance it to US$850 an ounce. It’s not good to pit yourself, so he said: "Ah. Zhuo, start harvesting now, and it must be finished when it reaches $850 an ounce."

   "Received, boss," Zhao Hezhuo said.

   You must know that when Li Zhiwen asked Zhao Hezhuo to buy London gold futures, the average price of gold was US$570 an ounce. Li Zhiwen used 150 million US dollars to hold the London gold futures worth 7.5 billion US dollars with 50 times leverage.

   With the price of gold now breaking through the eight hundred dollars an ounce mark, the value of this London gold futures has reached 10.5 billion dollars.

It was Li Zhiwen who asked Zhao Hezhuo to buy it with 500 accounts in more than 200 banks, but it was too difficult for such a large gold futures contract to escape. Li Zhiwen was not relieved, so he did not return to the manor. , But stayed in the villa to personally command.

   Therefore, after Li Zhiwen gave the order, the seed fund began to be delivered in an orderly manner. Each person was responsible for 50 accounts, and even Zhao Hezhuo himself ended the operation.

   Seeing that the seed fund team is running well, Li Zhiwen breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Chairman, the 10,000 lots of London gold futures I hold are all delivered, with an average price of 815 US dollars an ounce, and the existing funds in my account are 815 million US dollars." Tan Huafeihui reported.

"Chairman, the 13,000 lots of London gold futures I hold have all been delivered, with an average price of 823 US dollars an ounce, and the existing funds in the account are 16.9 billion US dollars." Lie said.

  ......

The large living room of the    villa has become a large meeting room for the seed fund. The dedicated telephone line kept ringing, and the employees who answered the phone kept recording the data on the paper, and then reported the results to Li Zhiwen.

   Looking at the statistics showing more and more funds, Li Zhiwen's mood is getting better and better.

   Finally, at 7pm on January 19th, all the London gold futures were delivered. All the accounts of the seed fund added up to 10.8 billion U.S. dollars, and the gold price also came to 845 U.S. dollars.

   After deducting the capital quota of 7.35 billion U.S. dollars, the security deposit of 150 million U.S. dollars, and bank funding fees, the cumulative net profit of the seed fund was 3.17 billion U.S. dollars.

  The seed fund staff at the scene were overjoyed and proud of their feats. Li Zhiwen waved his hand and gave him a bonus of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, while Zhao Hezhuo received a bonus of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

   The so-called boss eats meat and employees eat soup. Li Zhiwen doesn't want to let his subordinates get away from him because of the small money.

It is 2 o’clock at noon in the United States at this time, and London time is five hours ahead of New York time~www.readwn.com~The price of gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange continues to rise, breaking through $850 at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. An ounce.

  Many companies that hold gold futures can't help themselves.

   The financial company on the top of Wall Street is already on the way to retreat.

   They are not stupid. If the price of gold continues to rise, it will be detrimental to the United States. The United States will be hit hard and it is not in line with the interests of the United States. Therefore, it is time for the White House to speak out.

   Although they all hope that the price of gold futures will continue to rise, they understand that the interests of the United States are their own interests, so they arranged to start a retreat a few days ago.

   In the White House, President Jimmy Carter and the U.S. Treasury Secretary are having a meeting.

   10:00 am, January 20th, U.S. time

  U.S. President Jimmy Carter boarded the television station and announced to the United States and the world that the U.S. government will safeguard the U.S. position in the world at all costs. The world economy needs a good financial environment to impose sanctions on countries that challenge U.S. status.

   After Jimmy Carter's words were finished, the global network became very busy, and the communication network even fell into a standstill.

   In just a few minutes, the news spread to all corners of global finance.

   This has caused panic in the market. They know that the President of the United States represents the face of the United States, and the President has spoken, and the US government is going to act for real.

  The New York Mercantile Exchange, the London Bullion Exchange, the Zurich Gold Market, etc., the price of gold in various places fell.

   When the market closed on the day, the price of gold on the London Bullion Exchange had fallen below the $822 per ounce mark, and the whole market complained.

   After Li Zhiwen got the news, he secretly thanked him that his funds had been settled, otherwise he would not be able to sell it now.
