Chapter 392: The Harvest on Oil

……

Early the next morning, Guo Shouyun received a call from Zhang Shaoling.

"Boss, we've already calculated the revenue from oil futures. ”

"Oh, how much?"

"The Solomon Group invested $8.2 billion, with an average purchase price of $18.5 per barrel and a margin of 20%. The leverage ratio is 10 times, holding 355,000 contracts of Brent crude oil futures. The average selling price was $33.46 per barrel. The total gain after closing the position was $5.31 billion. ”

"The unicorn group invested $7.7 billion, with an average purchase price of $18.34 per barrel and a margin of 20%. The leverage ratio is 10 times, holding 336,000 contracts of New York crude oil futures. The average selling price was $33.23 per barrel. The total gain after closing the position was $5 billion. ”

The centaur team invested $11.49 billion, with an average buying price of $18.42 per barrel and a margin of 20%. The leverage ratio is 10 times, holding 499,000 contracts of New York crude oil futures. The average selling price was $33.62 per barrel. The total gain after closing the position was 7.585 billion US dollars. ”

"Descendants Capital invested $3.9 billion, with an average purchase price of $18.14 per barrel and a margin of 20%. The leverage ratio is 10 times, holding 172,000 contracts of Brent crude oil futures. The average selling price was $33.26 per barrel. The total gain after closing the position was 2.597 billion US dollars. ”

After the four of them finished reporting, Guo Shouyun roughly calculated in his heart. This time, the entire Thunder Fund invested $31.29 billion in oil futures, and after deducting the principal, the total income was $20.492 billion. After deducting 60% of what should be given to customers, it can be left to Thunder, or Phoenix's total revenue, is $8.2 billion.

Counting the $5.2 billion profit from the gold market, Guo Shouyun took advantage of the tensions in the early days of the Iraq war to make a staggering profit of $13.4 billion from the capital market.

This money will effectively support the next round of expansion of his major conglomerates.

"You've worked hard for the past four months. After sending the income statement to the customer's mailbox, go on vacation, and the time is half a month. ”

"Boss, what is the focus of investment in the later stage?" asked Zhang Shaoling.

"What? You don't want to take a vacation?"

"I think, but if I don't figure out the investment strategy behind it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well when I'm on vacation. ”

"What about you?"

Qin Zhicheng and others on the other end of the conference call also agreed: "We also want to know the boss's next investment strategy." ”

In the past three years, Guo Shouyun has won the hearts of these financial elites with his precise investment vision. Therefore, whether it is Zhang Shaoling or Michael Barry, when they are independently responsible for the operation of their respective groups' funds, they are accustomed to investing sixty or seventy percent of their funds according to Guo Shouyun's strategy. Facts have proved that this strategy can keep their funds in hand at 30%~50%, or even higher growth.

"Since you're all curious, I'll tell you about it. … After the impact of the Iraq war on the capital market subsided, the futures market is dominated by long-term gold and oil bulls! You can try short-term, but it must be long, and the leverage should not be too high, 3~5 times is more appropriate. ”

"In the stock and bond markets, the U.S. stock market is dominated by the Internet sector, the technology sector, the biotechnology sector and the financial sector, as well as the China Concept sector. If it is specific to the company, it has deliberately increased its shareholding ratio in the past, and deliberately tried the stocks and bonds of large Chinese enterprises such as PetroChina, Sinopec and China Mobile in the later stage, as well as Oracle, Gilead Sciences, ExxonMobil, Intel, Starbucks, Coca-Cola, Amgen, Toyota, Louis Vuitton and Richemont. The Nasdaq and Dow Jones indices will rise further, and the futures related to stock indices will be dominated by bulls. ”

"In the foreign exchange and options market, the medium and long-term is bullish on the Chinese currency and options, and bearish on the dollar and the euro. In addition, the commodity market, especially oil, iron ore, coal, and copper ore, is dominated by call options. ”

"I think that in the next three to five years, the international market will usher in a big boom. Major commodities and futures, as well as equities and bonds, will all see varying degrees of gain. So, during this period, it is safer to be bullish than bearish, and to make more money. After a pause, Guo Shouyun continued, "Okay, that's all I can tell you. It's up to you how much you can grasp. ”

After a few words of explanation, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. After sitting on the couch and pondering for a while, he got up and went back to his study and took out his notebook.

The Thunder Fund's earnings have come out. According to his plan, 40% of the $8.2 billion will be used to cover the debt generated by the acquisition of Universal Pictures and Vidiwang Games, as well as Warner Records, and the remaining 60%, or $4.92 billion, will be used to support Anping Petroleum's acquisition of Unocal.

Of course, $4.92 billion is still a lot short of Unocal's market capitalization. But it is enough to act as a fulcrum for leveraging.

As for the expansion of Anping Power and Universal Studios in Huaxia, there is a five-year buffer period with the Li family and a local company in Huaxia as partners. As long as 10~15% of all projects are invested, the project can be started, and the construction cost in the middle and later stages can be solved through financing and the revenue of Anping Power. It is also the usual financial solution for large projects.

Of course, the upfront investment of 10~15% is not a small amount. But so far, all of Guo Shouyun's investments in Huaxia, with the exception of Hanhua Holdings, are not in debt. In the past, because of the lack of foundation, they left a way back for their own crazy capital operations and mutual hostility with American capital groups. Now he has basically established himself in the United States. There is no need for Huaxia to adopt such a conservative financial strategy. Of course, the specific operation needs to be decided according to the actual situation. Finances are the most sensitive place at all times, and prudence is the most valuable quality.

"Boss, this is the information you want about Golden Harvest Group!" Rebecca knocked on the door and walked in with a large file bag.

"Leave it to me... Oh yes. Jonathan flew to Hong Kong at 3 p.m., and you picked him up on my behalf. Also, book their hotel closer to us. ”

"Understood!"

After waving her hand to let her leave, Guo Shouyun opened the file bag, pulled out the thick information in it and began to look at it.

The more he looked at him, the deeper his brows furrowed, and Jiahe's situation was even worse than he expected. The market value of 3.4 billion Hong Kong dollars in 92 is now basically a fraction of it. The total revenue in 2002 was HK$24 million, but it was only enough to repay the interest on the debt of HK$530 million. invested in four films, and the highest box office is the 84-year-old movie "Can't Stop Love" directed by Ye Weimin and remade, but unfortunately Chen Xiaodong and Qin Hailu played very well, but they still couldn't surpass the original version of Andy Lau and Wen Bixia, two months after its release, the box office was less than 8 million Hong Kong dollars, which can only be said to be average.

After he had read all the information, he let out a long sigh. After putting down the pen and pinching his eyebrows, there was a touch of thought in his expression.

Golden Harvest's situation is already bad. But what Guo Shouyun values most is its film library and brand. So, as long as these two aspects are not damaged, the others can be recovered.

"If you want to bring Golden Harvest back to life, there are two key points: first, find him a qualified manager. Second, shoot a good film. ”

The first point is that Guo Shouyun has several suitable candidates. However, everything will not be possible until Jiahe is really in his hands.

As for the second point, after 2,000 years, although the steel sheet has declined. But it's not without boutiques. "Infernal Affairs" will definitely not catch up. But several of Stephen Chow's works can be involved. However, with the golden sign of Xingye, Golden Harvest will definitely not be the protagonist. Therefore, if you want Golden Harvest to return to people's attention, you need to make a truly influential film yourself.

I picked up some vague memories in my mind. Guo Shouyun wrote "Sister Peach", "Kill the Wolf", "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", "Ip Man", "The Thief of Years" in his notebook!

After thinking about it, he crossed out "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" and "Ip Man" again!

The investment in the two films is too high, which is not suitable for the current Golden Harvest, and before the development of the Chinese film market, such a movie is not very suitable.

"Sister Peach" and "The Thief of Time", the pinnacle of the two literary films, have basically won the Academy Awards, and there is even no shortage of international awards. Andy Lau and Ye Dexian, as well as the combination of Ren Dahua and Wu Junru, are famous for their acting skills.

Looking at the two names, Guo Shouyun weighed it and crossed out "The Thief of Years".

It's not that there is no money, but because of the consideration of winning the prize. Whether it is the Hong Kong Film Awards, the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, or even some international heavyweight awards, it is only once a year. If you make two excellent films, you are competing for resources with yourself, so why bother. It might as well postpone it for a few years.

"Sister Peach", "Slaying the Wolf"!

If there are only two parts, Guo Shouyun feels less again. After tapping his right index finger on his head, his eyes lit up.

"Yes, the spiritual core of the East Asian cultural circle is the same, and the classic movies of South Korea and Japan are naturally suitable for Hong Kong. ”

Thinking of this, after pondering for a while, he quickly added two names "Late Night Canteen" and "Memories of Murder" in his notebook!

For Golden Harvest, which has declined to the extreme, it is enough to arrange the shooting plan of four films in 2003. As for the hinterland of China, he has other arrangements.

With a shooting plan, Guo Shouyun began to write the script.

Of course, time is limited, and it is impossible for him to write two or three hundred thousand words like he writes. What he planned was to write an outline of 20,000 or 30,000 words, and then hand it over to the Golden Harvest editorial department to enrich the details, and finally put together a complete script.

When Guo Shouyun started brainstorming, time passed little by little. Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, Rebecca walked in with Jonathan Weir, who had flown to Hong Kong.
