Chapter 268: Thunder Mid-Year Meeting (Part II)
……
The Thunder Fund has only been in existence for a year, and the Solomon Group has been operating on gold for even less time. In such a short period of time, it has achieved a pre-tax profit of 14.23 billion US dollars, which has outperformed more than ninety percent of the world's top 500 companies!
However, even the crowd was amazed. But in fact, Zhang Shaoling's return revenue is not sufficient. The real earner of this $14.23 billion is not $9.37 billion, but only a part of it.
Furthermore, the $9.37 billion can be roughly divided into three parts. First, Guo Shouyun has invested a total of $5.2 billion since the beginning. Second, the Solomon Group of the Thunder Fund had about $1.123 billion in client funds. Third, the news of the Thunder Fund's big profit in gold futures spread, and with the massive expansion of Pan Pacific Group, it was confirmed that the further growth of customer funds was about 3.047 billion US dollars.
At present, more than 95% of the pre-tax profit of $14.23 billion made by the Solomon Group is the result of the operation of the first two tranches of funds, and has little to do with the last tranche of US$3.047 billion.
But even so, Solomon's results are impressive!
"Shaoling, I won our bet!"
In a look of envy and admiration, Zhang Shaoling, who should have been proud, couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded at Guo Shouyun.
In the previous gamble he set with Guo Shouyun, the two sides operated $1 billion each to compete for their own performance over a two-month period, and then decided how to use the revenue of the Solomon Group of the Thunder Fund. As a result, Guo Shouyun made a pre-tax profit of $2.62 billion from operating $7 billion, and there was still $374 million after dividing by seven.
But Zhang Shaoling and his members operated $1 billion, but only achieved $213 million in revenue. Moreover, compared to Guo Shouyun, who only operated once, they operated in gold shorts and longs 5 times in June and July.
spent more energy but didn't make much money with the boss, and Zhang Shaoling was only convinced.
Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone except for the members of Solomon's group was very curious about what the gamble was in the mouths of the two. However, Guo Shouyun didn't mean to solve their doubts at all, but continued to ask: "How many kills are there in the hands of Solomon's team at present?"
"And $11.22 billion!"
Guo Shouyun nodded, after deducting the principal and profit of the customer, there is only 5 billion left in the funds that belong to the Thunder Fund!
After memorizing the numbers in his mind, Guo Shouyun's majestic eyes quickly swept over everyone.
"Soon, I'll have an investment plan. Therefore, I need you to realize all the assets that you can sell before August 1, and mortgage the assets that cannot be realized. In short, I'm going to see the funds you did your best to raise in your respective accounts on August 1st. ”
"Understood!"
Zhang Shaoling, Qin Zhicheng and John Lu Simi, who had already seen Guo Shouyun's investment skills and talents as if by magic, agreed without hesitation.
"Boss, are we going to get involved too?"
"Michael, I promised you that I would not interfere in any of your investment decisions unless there is a significant loss in the capital of your descendants. It's the same this time. If you are interested in my investment project, you can participate. If you're not interested, I'm not reluctant!"
Michael Barry frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, "Can I ask you where to invest next?"
"Of course... Actually, I don't say that you can guess. I'm still interested in gold futures. According to my analysis, gold will have a good increase this year. So, I'm ready to raise funds to open a long position again!"
"May I ask you why you're bullish on gold?" followed up Michael Barry.
Guo Shouyun nodded and said: "I am bullish on gold for four reasons: First, the uncertainty brought by the Argentine financial crisis to the global economic development. Second, the continued economic downturn in the United States and Western markets after the Nasdaq crisis has led to an increase in the price of hedging products, especially gold. Third, the economy of China, India and other countries is improving, and the demand for gold has risen. Fourth, the variance between the stable supply of gold suppliers and the demand for gold has widened. ”
"Of course, these are based on my own judgment. But for the same news, different people will come to different conclusions. Michael, you can go back and analyze it and give me the answer. ”
Michael Barry nodded.
"Alright, that's all for today's meeting. Oh yes, and in a few days it's the Thunder Fund's client reception. At that time, the number of people in attendance may be more than you imagined, so you should also prepare in advance these days. ”
"Boss, don't worry, we promise to dress up handsome and handsome, and we won't embarrass you!" Zhang Shaoling said with a smile.
After glancing at him with a smile, Guo Shouyun said: "I believe this when it comes out of Lao Qin's mouth, as for you...!"
Looking at the big boss who shook his head, and then at Qin Zhicheng, Zhang Shaoling felt that he was indeed inferior to these two handsome men in terms of appearance, but after seeing the person next to him, his eyes quickly lit up.
"Lao Qin is indeed more handsome than me. I'm definitely better than John and Michael, though!"
Michael Barry's expression was stunned, he obviously didn't expect Zhang Shaoling to burn the 'flames of war' on himself. However, he was naturally not interested in socializing, and even had some obstacles, so he just frowned and didn't say much. But that wasn't the case with John Luthmi.
"Zhang, at least I'm taller than you!"
"Ugh!"
After glancing at John Lu Simi in amazement, and comparing himself with his height of only one meter and seven years, Zhang Shaoling shook his head helplessly.
"Haha...!"
His expression, as well as the interaction between the previous few people, successfully caused everyone in the conference room to laugh.
That's the end of the joke. Guo Shouyun stretched out his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to calm down, "I remember the reception in three days, you are all the protagonists." When the time comes, how much money you can raise for your respective departments will depend on your ability!"
"Boss, can I not attend the reception?" asked Michael Barry, who suddenly raised his hand.
"Yes. But Michael, while I understand your feelings, I still hope you'll come and attend. After all, you're also part of the Thunder Fund!"
Looking at Guo Shouyun, Michael Barry looked very hesitant!
"Michael, come on. In fact, the reception is just a chat and a drink. There's nothing complicated!" Qin Zhi said.
"yes! And last time our boss was fighting at Netflix's launch reception!"
In the face of John Lu Simi's ridicule, Guo Shouyun shrugged his shoulders and didn't say much.
Looking at everyone's encouraging eyes, Michael Barry hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Good. That's all for today, adjournment!"
