Chapter 274: Fighting the Gold Market Again

……

Guo Shouyun had breakfast, accompanied Molly Bevan for a walk in the back garden, sent her back to the room, and after a brief chat, she came to the study on the second floor and started the day's work.

However, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Old Ward knocked on his door.

"Sir, Mr. Zhang, they've arrived!"

"Got it, settle them into the room I told you about before. When everything is in order, let Zhang Shaoling, Qin Zhicheng, and John Lu Simi come to me for a visit!"

"Yes!"

After answering, Old Ward turned to leave. It didn't take long for the heads of the three departments of Solomon, Unicorn and Centaur to stand in front of Guo Shouyun, except for the independently operated Sun Zi Capital.

9.11 is a matter of great importance, and as Guo Shouyun's most certain money-making opportunity in two or three years, he attaches great importance to it. As a result, he not only mobilized all the funds he could. He also moved all the major divisions of the Thunder Fund to Exeter.

"Boss!"

“Boss！”

After nodding, Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "Sit down and say!"

When several people sat down on the guest sofa in turn, Guo Shouyun did not say too much greetings.

"How's that happening to you?"

After the three of them looked at each other for a few moments, John Luxmi spoke first, "I'll come first." … According to the boss's explanation, most of the assets under the centaur department have been sold, and the share price of American Beverage has also been pledged. Combined with the recent funding raised from the capital markets, the Centaur division now has $2.17 billion in capital. ”

After nodding, Guo Shouyun's gaze shifted to Qin Zhicheng. Without him opening his mouth, the other party had already taken the initiative to introduce: "In addition to the CDs bonds of Enron, WorldCom, Arthur Andersen and other companies, Enron's $8.12 billion short contract has been sold. After deducting fees and administrative expenses, a total of $5.12 billion was made in pre-tax profit. Counting the recent unicorn fundraising from the capital markets, we now have a total of $5.423 billion under management!"

"Yes, how much is Enron's stock price now?" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

"$23.78!"

"So low?"

"Yes! The explosion of the Teesside power plant in Britain has completely exposed Enron's financial predicament. So far, they have defaulted on 13 debts, and there are even rumors that Jeffrey Jilin is already looking for an Enron acquirer, but whether this is really the case is still lacking more accurate information for the time being!"

With an installed capacity of nearly 2,000 megawatt hours, Teesside generates 4% of the UK's electricity. The unexpected explosion of this power plant, which can bring a fixed huge amount of revenue every year, is like the last straw, which directly broke Enron's crisis-ridden capital chain. Of course, the subsidence of the energy crisis in California and the lower profits that Enron gets from energy trading are also contributing to the crisis.

"Boss, Enron is really not optimistic right now. Seeking to sell the company is also true news. Moreover, Warren Buffett and Duke Energy have both received letters from Enron. John Lusmie added.

"Oh, is the news accurate?" asked Guo Shouyun with a deep look in his eyes.

"Exactly. My father had some connections within Enron. He specially told me what he said to you!"

Guo Shouyun nodded. Old Lu Simi has been on Wall Street all his life, and Guo Shouyun is not surprised that he can have such connections. However, what surprised him a little was that the old Lu Simi, as the chief adviser of Phoenix, did not tell him the news directly, but through John Lu Simi, the intermediary?

"Do you want to increase the weight of his son in my heart, or do you want to tactfully remind me that the time has come to buy Enron?"

"Boss, it's time for that 'Enron dilemma solution' to work!"

Qin Zhicheng's words interrupted Guo Shouyun's thoughts.

He nodded, he didn't tell Phoenix and the top brass of Pan Pacific about the conflict between himself and Jeffrey Jilin. So they didn't know that the 'Enron dilemma solution' that they had been discussing for nearly a month had long been stranded!

"I know. However, although the Enron matter is important, it is still not as good as our next operation in the capital market! So, let's wait until the dust settles!"

"But what if someone else gets the first step...?"

"Hehe, you all know Enron's situation. Even if Jack Welch comes out, without tens of billions of funds, he will not want to revitalize Enron! And at present, there are not many companies in the world that can come up with so much money. Even if they can take it out, they may not be willing to take over the mess of Enron!"

Thinking of the detailed information about Enron that he had read, Qin Zhicheng thought for a moment and nodded.

"Shaoling, it's your turn!"

Zhang Shaoling nodded, "Count the original $11.22 billion." Combined with the funds recently raised, the entire Solomon Department currently manages a total of $13.34 billion!"

This result was not unexpected by Guo Shouyun, as the most profitable department in the last wave of Thunder Fund, Solomon is undoubtedly the department that receives the most external funds.

After listening to the reports of the three people, Guo Shouyun quickly came up with the amount of money he could put into the 9/11 operation.

The three divisions of the Thunder Fund combined amounted to $20.933 billion. Descendants capital, Michael Barry himself pumped out $120 million. GCA's Mangzhong Fund has US$850 million. All of his current publishing income and film and television rights sharing income, after deducting the part spent, is currently 249 million US dollars.

The $22.152 billion is the money that Guo Shouyun can directly invest in the 9/11 capital operation. Similar to the profits of various companies, the part of the company's asset appreciation, he did not take out. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that $22.152 billion is enough. In addition, he also needs to use these funds as a guarantee for key moments when he 'studs' at the last moment.

After all, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of what if. No matter how sure you are, you must prepare for the worst.

"Yes! There's a lot of money. The next thing you have to do is stay here and take your teams and put your full attention on the gold market!"

"Yes!"

Because Guo Shouyun had communicated with them several times before, they were not surprised by the decision to fight the gold market again.

"Boss, do you want to enter now?"

Zhang Shaoling said with excitement in his eyes.

He couldn't wait to repeat the last adrenaline-pumping rush he had done!

"No... The gold market is still in the process of a slow decline. We'll wait until it's at the bottom of the bell curve before making a move. Guo Shouyun shook his head.

The current price of $275.23 per ounce in the gold market is still a bit too high for Guo Shouyun! What he thinks is that when the price of gold drops to $270, he is considering making a move.

After asking them about the assets of each department, and exchanging with them their views on the gold market and their respective thoughts, Guo Shouyun let them go.

In order to balance their families and careers, in the next two months, these Thunder elites will temporarily live in Bevan Manor.
