Chapter 202: Gold and Silver 2
Like silver futures, gold rose particularly sharply in January 1980. It's not as crazy as silver, but it's a feast for any speculator.
Bao Zixuan just wanted to take advantage of the Henk family's forced silver incident, and then drive the entire precious metal market to be unstable to do a speculation. By January 1980, the price of silver had reached $50 per ounce, and the price of gold had reached over $700 per ounce. What a profit margin this is, it feels terrible and heartwarming to think about.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Bao Zixuan will stay in the United States for a year, after all, he must be here in January 80, and he can't worry about arranging anyone here.
In the conference room of the Blackstone Fund on Wall Street, Bao Zixuan looked at everyone's good spirits. After all, everyone, including the security guards, received a large bonus, which was something they couldn't earn in 10 years of work.
Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "How are you doing this holiday! I watched some people get dark, did they stay at the beach for too long and get sunburned." But this is all a normal thing, now that your vacation is over, can you start working? ”
Clay Clark: "Boss, we've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Bao Zixuan: "It's still the old rule, but this time we may have a longer time, about 6 to 9 months." Participants will receive a $200,000 settling-in allowance after signing a non-disclosure agreement, and the bonus will be paid after the operation is completed. I'm not a stingy person, you guys can make a choice now. ”
10 people did not hesitate to sign a non-disclosure agreement, such a boss is not something that anyone can meet. Bao Zixuan's generosity is famous in the industry, and now it has spread not only in the technology circle, but also in the financial circle.
After signing the non-disclosure agreement, everyone started calling home. After knowing that there was another big action, this time the family was very understanding. Last time, it brought a good salary, so that the gang bought a house and a car.
Bao Zixuan: "Now according to reliable sources, the American Henk family is long silver. They want to double the price of silver on what it already is, and with it the price of silver will rise, and gold will certainly go up as well. ”
Clay Clark: "Boss, the price of gold is well understood, silver prices are very high right now. If we enter the market at this time, is it too late. ”
Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, we have the Henk family in front of us, we just drink some soup." There is still $1 billion in the account, and 500 million is long gold and silver. ”
This time, I will withdraw funds from the black clouds, and if not, I can sell the shares of Motorola.
In fact, now these fund managers admire the boss of Bao Zixuan, since the announcement of the purchase contract between Heiyun and Motorola. The Motorola stock price is rising as fast as a rocket. The $500 million in shares purchased at that time has now reached $800 million, an increase of 60 per cent;
Clay Clark: "Boss, we use several times the financial leverage. ”
Bao Zixuan: "5 times, silver and gold futures are not as big as oil." Too much of us will become a bookmaker, which is not in line with our philosophy. ”
Hearing this, everyone was relieved, they were afraid that the boss didn't understand anything and wanted to eat a fat man in one bite.
Clay Clark: "Boss, the main market for precious metals futures is in Chicago, and New York is only a small part. It's not very convenient for us to be here, so it's safer to go to Chicago in parts. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry, it's been arranged, the Blackstone Fund branch next to the Chicago Board of Trade has been renovated, you will send five people over there, and the security personnel will also go with you." ”
The Chicago Blackstone Fund Branch was purchased by Bao Zixuan when he went to Motorola, less than a kilometer away from the futures trading market, and it used to be a fund company, but later went bankrupt by mistake. The property was purchased by Bao Zixuan, and at the same time, it was also handed over to Larry Brown's team of lawyers to find and operate on his behalf.
Hearing that the boss has arranged everything, what else to say. Just do what you ask, and to be honest, they're still very satisfied with their current lives. With a high salary, enjoying high benefits and treatment, it is sometimes not very free to work, but it is normal for professional managers engaged in fund work, and every manager on Wall Street will carry out closed management and operation when carrying out large projects. After all, everyone has tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks or futures in their hands, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Bao Zixuan continued: "Clay, you will choose four people to sit in Chicago in a while, and that side will be our main battlefield. ”
After arranging everything, Bao Zixuan left Wall Street. He's going back to school, Martin Griff and Romansky are already back, and now that the planning for the university is complete, just waiting for him to make a final decision, and at the same time there's a trip to Detroit, where the cars have been produced, Jeep's Grand Cherokee, Compass and the Black Cloud 1 Series have all started testing, and if it's okay, will attend the Frankfurt Motor Show at the end of September.
Huo Yingdong has already passed the news to Bao Zixuan through the Black Cloud staff, hoping that he can return to Xiangjiang at the end of July. I asked him to go to the mainland with him, mainly to Shenhai City to see if there were any projects that could be invested. What has been promised before, not to mention that Bao Zixuan knows that he will not lose money when he invests in the mainland, this is a time when gold is everywhere.
At the beginning of September, we will rush to Berlin to participate in the Berlin Consumer Electronics Exhibition. Fortunately, there is some time difference between the two exhibitions, otherwise it is really difficult to arrange the time.
At this Berlin Consumer Electronics Exhibition, Heiyun Group has no special new product recommendations, but every product has been upgraded and transformed, and its strength should not be underestimated.
Now Heiyun's product line is very rich, at least in the electronic products. In addition to the shortcomings of household appliances, the rest of the development is relatively balanced, this time mainly to improve the product production line.
When Bao Zixuan returned to the MIT dormitory, he saw that the living room was full of drawings. This time, these two top MIT students were exhausted, and they worked in Xiangjiang for almost half a year. Moreover, in the past half a year, he basically stayed in the Tin Shui Wai area during the day, and only returned to the Heiyun Group at night to rectify the drawings. Fortunately, the logistics support of the black cloud staff is in place, otherwise these two boys would really suffer.
After seeing Bao Zixuan come back, Romansky said: "Bao, this time you have to increase the bonus for the two of us, you don't know how we have spent the past few months." The place is just too big, and Martin is a man who strives for perfection. We have carefully checked every detail and now guarantee that nothing is lost. ”
Bao Zixuan took the general map and looked at it, because he wanted to build an aviation major. Therefore, there is an airport runway specially designed for airplanes in the school, which makes the school area very large. It has reached 20,000 acres, of which 8,000 acres belong to the aerospace major.
Bao Zixuan: "I said two, is $1 billion enough? ”
Martin Griff: "It doesn't cost much money to build, at most $500 million can be done completely, it depends on what equipment you want to add to the school, I think with the strength of the Black Cloud Group, you can already produce it yourself by then, 10 dollars is still enough." ”
Bao Zixuan: "Since you said enough, then build according to this plan." Either you don't do it, or you have to build the best university. ”
In fact, Bao Zixuan already had an idea in his heart, when he went to the mainland with Huo Yingdong this time, he could invite the mainland construction team to come over for construction, which could save a lot of costs, and also allow the mainland to earn more foreign exchange, which was a win-win strategy.
