Chapter 33 Investing in Gold Futures in New York Again

PS: Thank you very much!

After arranging the affairs of the "Lookout" magazine, Andrew and Catherine kept it warm for several days. A special deep memory is that the two drove a yacht out to sea together and returned to the original birthplace of love, the waters of Po Toi Island.

I relived the feeling I had when I was driving a motorboat to chase waves on the sea.

Andrew sat in the back seat, his hands around Catherine's waist, the two were close together, with the ups and downs of the waves, the limbs of the two were in regular intimate contact with each other, their respective physiological reactions were reflected, and an erotic impulse also arose.

And with the ups and downs of the waves, this feeling of rhythm is very wonderful, which makes the two of them intoxicated again. The follow-up will no longer be like the beginning, just taste.

After all, the two are love partners now, and the two of them are here to play, without other people's interference and other concerns. Haitian canopy, the most primitive way of human reproduction will eventually reappear, that is, the action of the mode of reproduction, which is more modern and has more tricks.

The days of being stuck in the gentle countryside passed quickly. In a blink of an eye, December 15, 1975 arrived. It's been almost two weeks since Andrew returned to Hong Kong.

And the situation of the Hong Kong stock market is just as Andrew predicted earlier. By the end of '75, there was a wave of upward momentum. At present, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index has broken through to around 443 points, and has risen by more than 80 points, more than 20 percent, from 360 points at the end of October.

And Mr. Henry's stock exit plan is also going well. Nine out of ten stocks have been withdrawn, and in the first two weeks of December, $320 million has been withdrawn. It is expected that next week, all the tasks assigned by Andrew will be completed.

And Andrew will also fly to New York today, Saturday, with $220 million, to fight for New York gold futures.

In the first two weeks of December, the futures gold price in New York was uneventful, around $141 per ounce, slightly sideways, and trading was thin.

On Monday morning, December 17, Andrew arranged the assignment of two groups of operators.

10 shadow investment firm settlement accounts, each with $10 million in credit. Each shadow investment firm transferred $10 million to a futures account as margin, 15 times leverage, and raised $150 million. At the current price of gold in Monday futures, buy medium and long-term short orders.

Before the New York Futures Exchange opened, Andrew transferred $120 million to the futures account of the successful investment company. and raised $1.8 billion with $120 million as margin.

Futures gold opened on Monday, opening at last week's close of $141.1 an ounce.

Intraday trading was relatively thin, and the price of futures gold has been fluctuating slightly around $141.1 per ounce.

After observing until 10 o'clock in the morning, Andrew saw the intraday transaction and there was nothing abnormal, so he began to make a move.

Issued a trading order to Mr. Pete, a futures broker, with a total amount of $1.8 billion, at the current price, small and medium-sized orders to buy medium and long-term short orders in batches.

Due to relatively thin trading, Andrew's total of $1.8 billion was not fully sold until the close of trading on Monday.

At an average price of $141.1 per ounce, 127,000 long-term short orders were bought.

Back at the station, the operators of the second group reported to Andrew on the futures gold purchases of 10 shadow investment companies today.

The futures accounts of 10 shadow investment companies, each at an average price of $141.1 per ounce, bought a total of 100,000 long-term short orders.

So far, the task of this trip to New York has been largely completed. After getting the list of transactions on the futures exchange tomorrow, Andrew is ready to return to London the day after tomorrow.

And the subordinate operators, Andrew let them arrange their own watch records for each trading day.

The next day, after receiving the list of transactions from the Futures Exchange, Andrew made a summary of his gold futures positions.

HSBC successfully invested in a closed-end fund with a total investment of US$35 million, and now holds a total of 28,000 long-term short positions in futures gold. The average selling price of short orders is $144 per ounce.

Successfully invested in the company, with a total investment of 410 million US dollars, and now has a total of 420,000 long-term short orders in futures gold. The average selling price of short orders was $144.7 per ounce.

10 shadow investment companies, with a total investment of 245 million US dollars, are now holding a total of 260,000 long-term short orders in futures gold. The average selling price of short orders is $145 per ounce.

On the morning of December 19, Andrew set off for London.

At dinner time, Andrew returned home. Because before the departure, the family was informed of the return time. So, the family waited for Andrew, and had dinner together.

It's been a month and a half since I last went home in London. After a warm dinner with his family, Andrew drank tea and chatted in the living room.

Mother Ruth still took Andrew's hand as she did when she was a child, sat on the sofa, and asked Andrew about his behavior during this time.

Andrew gave a brief account of investing in futures gold in New York. After that, I talked to my mother about buying three islands in the Bahamas.

Andrew based on the information and photos sent back, plus his own imagination. Eloquently and her mother, Ruth, recount the beautiful scenes on the three Bahamian islands.

Musa Island, the pearl of the Caribbean. This island is set in the Caribbean Sea and consists of four small islands, 85 miles from Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.

Spanning over 150 acres, it features an unspoiled jungle setting, sand as white as sugar, and crystal clear turquoise waters. From the top of the mountain, you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea.

Kale Island is located in the inner bay north of Eleuthera in the Bahamas, and the island covers an area of 35 acres. There is the world-famous North Barracuda Shoal.

The island has 24 hills, three sandy beaches, a large area of vegetation and a large number of rare wildlife, making it one of the most natural private islands.

And at this time of year, the climate is pleasant, the birds are singing, and it is not as wet and cold as London.

Listening to Andrew's story, his mother Ruth couldn't help but be moved, imagining the lush jungle, the sand as white and shining as sugar on the beach, and the crystal clear turquoise water. What a wonderful place to get!

Seeing her mother's heart-wrenching expression, I thought that my mother usually had few opportunities to go on vacation in order to take care of her family. Now Andrew is also a not small rich man, and he should let his mother enjoy happily, and her dear little Andrew's filial piety.

Andrew secretly decided in his heart that after the Chinese New Year, he would immediately start the construction plan of the three islands. Well, you have to order a few yachts, and the large ones have to be ordered one, and the whole family is more spacious when traveling. Medium-sized ones were ordered to order 3 boats, and Mother, Emma, and Catherine each had one each.

By the way, on the islands, it is difficult to get around, and you have to buy helicopters. At that time, I will ask about the specific situation of the private airliner, and if the price is reasonable, I will buy it together.

While Andrew was making plans in his mind, his father Allen's inquiry interrupted his thoughts.

It turned out that his father, Allen, had recently inquired about the manor outside London. In his father's mind Alan, in order to fully integrate into London's high society, the family has a decent estate, which is a necessary scene hardware.

Now in return, there are two estates for sale in the suburbs of London, and the geographical location is not much different, both are about 20 kilometers away from the city of London, that is, in terms of scale, there is a big difference.

A suburban estate that was once a viscount, but after a long period of time, his family gradually declined.

Now, the family can no longer afford to maintain a country estate of one million pounds a year. Therefore, the sale of the suburban estate is inevitable.

This viscount's suburban estate, in addition to the main estate building, also owns 600 acres of surrounding fields. It's a good suburban estate, but it sells for £60 million overall.

Another suburban manor was originally owned by a merchant who was engaged in overseas trade. However, due to business reasons, he was in urgent need of a sum of cash, so he had to sell the suburban estate.

This merchant's suburban estate is relatively small in scale and has no attached surrounding fields. Set on 10 acres. The sale price is £10 million.

Now, Alan had no choice but to choose the merchant's suburban manor because of the family's financial resources. Thinking of Andrew's deep financial resources, he tried to ask Andrew if he was interested in the Viscount's suburban estate.

Andrew has a certain interest in a suburban estate of this size, but the liquidity on hand is not very abundant. Let's take a look at it first.
