Chapter 0195 Complex International Gold Market
Today, the three heads of the family were very satisfied with Qiao Tianyu, they not only recovered their respective investments and kept the family business of the three families, but also witnessed the Arrow Sakura Organization suffer the greatest loss in history, and they couldn't close their mouths with joy.
After the three heads chatted with Qiao Tianyu for a while, Lu Ye and Chen Honglie got up to say goodbye, for them, the matter in Dubai was over, and it was time for them to go back to take care of the business.
However, before parting, the two heads of the house deliberately pulled Cui Laosan aside and explained it, and the three of them looked at Qiao Tianyu frequently, not knowing what they were discussing.
Waiting for the two heads to leave, Cui Laosan fiddled with his kung fu tea set again and discussed tea art with Qiao Tianyu for a while, but seeing Qiao Tianyu's restless appearance, Cui Laosan laughed.
"Haha, Tianyu, did you come to me today for the 5,000 tons of gold?" Cui Laosan took a sip of tea and asked mysteriously.
"Ah, Third Master, it turns out that you already knew. Qiao Tianyu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Fools can see it, haha......" Cui Laosan said with a smile, "The reason why you didn't kill Keiko today is also for the 5,000 tons of gold, right?"
"Yes, now I urgently need 10,000 tons of gold for Prince Mahmoud and Chubais, but only 5,000 tons are currently in the hands of the Arrow Sakura Organization, and they are still being watched by all forces in the world!" Qiao Tianyu received it with embarrassment.
"So Keiko suggested that you go to Zurich and buy private wealth gold, right?" asked Cui Laosan.
"Well, yes. Qiao Tianyu nodded frankly.
"This Keiko!" Cui Laosan pursed his lips, his face showing displeasure, "Tianyu, how much do you know about the international gold market?"
"Third master, to be honest, I really don't know much about the gold market, and I would like to ask you to give me advice. Qiao Tianyu said sincerely.
In fact, Qiao Tianyu is not completely humble in this statement, because in the history of mankind for thousands of years, gold has always been the world's common currency, and this state lasted until after World War II.
After the Second World War, under the auspices of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in order to highlight the importance of the US dollar and the IMF's Special Drawing Rights, gold was gradually squeezed out of the currency circulation, and gold slowly lost its monetary function for thousands of years.
Affected by the gold desalination policy, the policies of countries around the world in the fields of gold storage, transportation, trading, and circulation have changed greatly, and the world's gold trading policies and rules have also changed rapidly.
Therefore, even insiders in the international gold market dare not lightly say that they know the international gold market well, let alone Qiao Tianyu, who was reborn after 55 years.
"In that case, I'll give you the basics. Cui Laosan said, "Gold is different from ordinary financial products, it is not expensive because of the price, but because of its scarcity!"
"At present, the total amount of gold in the official reserves of the world's central banks is only 30,000 tons, and the 5,000 tons of gold is already equivalent to one-sixth of the total official reserves of the world, but the total price is only 66.5 billion US dollars. ”
"But $66.5 billion is not hard to find, but the 5,000 tons of gold is very rare, which is why when the 5,000 tons of gold appeared in Dubai, it attracted so many pretenders!"
"Yes, yes, that's right. Qiao Tianyu nodded vigorously.
"It is true that Zurich is the world's largest private wealth gold reserve base and the world's largest gold spot trading center, but Zurich's gold market is monopolized by the 'Swiss Big Three': UBS, Credit Suisse and UBS. ”
"However, in order to maintain Zurich's position as the world's largest private wealth gold reserve base and prevent excessive spot gold from flowing out of Zurich on a large scale, the three banks have an unwritten rule that they are very selective about the customers who buy and sell gold. ”
"Once it is found that there is a huge demand for gold, especially a huge demand for gold spot shipments, the three major banks will jointly raise the purchase threshold, and the purchase cost will skyrocket, so as to retain gold to the greatest extent. ”
"In fact, not only Zurich, but also other world gold trading centers such as London, New York, **, etc., are similar, they are very welcome investors to buy and sell paper gold, but once it involves the shipment of large areas of gold, it is a different matter. ”
"I see. Qiao Tianyu nodded.
"You mean, whether it's going to Zurich or London, I can only buy some numbers, and it's very difficult to get gold, especially 5,000 tons of gold!"
"Well, yes, Tianyu, you are a smart person, you can really understand it at all!" Cui Laosan said.
"What does Keiko mean then, she suggested that the master go to Zurich, is this not sure to push the master into the fire pit?!"
The little fat face stopped hearing it, Qiao Tianyu had just let them go of the Arrow Sakura Organization, and Keiko turned her face and didn't recognize anyone in a blink of an eye, which was too much!
"That woman is very vicious!" Cui Laosan shook his head helplessly.
Of course, Qiao Tianyu knew that this matter would not be so easy to solve, otherwise everyone would go to Zurich to buy gold and ship it out, and the 5,000 tons of gold in Dubai would not be so sought-after!
"Huh?" Speaking of this, Qiao Tianyu suddenly seemed to have discovered something, he thought for a while and said, "Third Master, I suddenly have an idea. ”
"What do you think?" Cui Laosan and Little Fat Face hurriedly asked.
"You said that since the official reserves of countries around the world have not changed much, and the private wealth of gold is restricted from being shipped out, where did the 5,000 tons of gold of the Arrow Sakura Organization come from?" Qiao Tianyu said suspiciously.
"You must know that the world's annual gold production is only about 2,000 tons, and how young does it take for the Arrow Sakura Organization to reserve those 5,000 tons of gold?"
"Tianyu, do you mean to say that the source of the 5,000 tons of gold organized by the Arrow Sakura is Zurich!" Cui Laosan followed Qiao Tianyu's train of thought and asked in surprise.
"It's very likely!" Qiao Tianyu hurriedly said.
"Yesterday Keiko analyzed with me for a long time, saying which gold could not be moved and which gold could not be collected, and finally she suggested Zurich to me, so I wonder if she is hinting to me that the 5,000 tons of gold of the Arrow Sakura Organization are from Zurich?"
"It's possible. Cui Laosan nodded.
"This doesn't matter, I've been in Zurich for most of my life, and I still have some connections, so I'll immediately ask them to help me investigate and see which bank shipped the goods, maybe they will continue to ship!"
"Okay, thank you so much!" Qiao Tianyu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Cui Laosan to thank him......
