Chapter 196 Gold Futures Speculation

……

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

The next day, Qin Zhicheng came to Guo's Manor.

"How's the talk with Stan Lee?"

After waving his hand to signal him to sit down, and then pouring him a glass of water, Guo Shouyun asked.

"After we promised to return the rights to Spider-Man to Marvel and invest $400 million to start filming, his attitude has relented. However, the offer still insists on $860 million!"

Guo Shouyun nodded knowingly. After using the film and television copyright of "The Da Vinci Code" plus $10 million to buy the copyright of Little Spider from Sony, Guo Shouyun has been planning to win Marvel. After all, in the second decade of the 21st century, there is no more valuable film company than it.

"You can talk about the acquisition of Marvel. If necessary, the offer can be raised a bit. ”

"Understood!"

"This is the information of Arthur Andersen and World Communications Company, you take it back and take a look!" took out two copies of the materials from the drawer and handed them to Qin Zhicheng.

After taking it and taking a brief look at it, Qin Zhicheng looked at Guo Shouyun with an inquiring look, quietly waiting for his next words.

"After reading it, you can help me check all the bonds issued by these two companies, including their ratings, and the share of ups and downs. Guo Shouyun confessed.

"When do you want to?"

"Give it to me by the end of March!"

"Yes!"

Guo Shouyun smiled and patted him on the shoulder, opened the drawer and took out a bulging belly blue and white jar covered with a red cloth and similar in size to a teapot.

"I know you like to drink Da Hong Pao, this is what I asked someone to buy from Huaxia, take it back and drink it." ”

"Hehe, you're rich, you're welcome!"

After getting along for a long time, Qin Zhicheng, who already knew Guo Shouyun's character, took it over.

"You've never been polite to me. After a pause, "Let's go, it's rare for you to come and go out to play tennis with me, and relax after work!"

Qin Zhicheng also refused, nodded and followed.

……

Time is like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, it is March. Seeing that the major opportunity he planned was getting closer and closer, Guo Shouyun simply moved his family from Guo's Manor to Hanshan Villa.

Tuesday, March 2, 2001! Guo Shouyun had breakfast early after running, cleaned up and took Wendy to the innermost room on the right side of the second floor.

At the same time as he pushed the door in, everyone stood up like a spring in the room where a large electronic screen was hung, and the red and blue curves clearly showed the gold spot and gold futures in all the world's gold trading markets such as New York, Chicago, London, Singapore, and Tokyo, including forward contracts.

They all know that today is a big day.

"Boss...!"

Looking at a pair of eyes full of excitement, expectation, and nervousness, Guo Shouyun nodded, and slowly swept his eyes from everyone's faces as he tried to keep calm, and suddenly smiled after a while: "Although today is very important, don't be too serious, just do your job according to my requirements." ”

Unfortunately, his original method of relieving these employees of mental stress failed unsurprisingly. Of course, this is understandable. $5.2 billion gold futures cross, 10 times leverage $52 billion, holding 2 million gold futures contracts. If the price of gold falls by 100 basis points, then Guo Shouyun will lose $200 million in his account. If the price of gold falls by $26, then all of Guo's gold futures investments will be wiped out. Of course, high risk also carries huge benefits.

Leveraged futures play is a heartbeat, if you are not prepared to take risks, and do a good job of system stop loss standards in advance, it is best not to touch. For many years, the risk probability of 'one win, two draws, seven accompaniments' has never changed in the high-risk stock and futures markets. It's a pity that no matter how severe the economic crisis is, there are still countless people who feel that they are one of the ten people who make money. In fact, the vast majority of people end up losing 70%!

Getting back to the point, after entering the door, Guo Shouyun briefly looked at each display screen.

"It's almost time, isn't it?"

"In 15 minutes, the London Gold Futures Exchange will be open!" Zhang Shaoling nodded.

"Boss, you sit!"

The well-behaved Lord Vikrum moved a chair for Guo Shouyun.

After nodding and sitting down, Guo Shouyun waved his hand, "Let's all sit too!"

"How much did the price of gold fall yesterday?" asked Guo Shouyun, looking back at the electronic display.

"Float down 427 basis points!" Zhang Shaoling said.

"So many?" Guo Shouyun couldn't help frowning.

"How much did we lose?"

"$754 million. But overall, our gold bulls are not in the red!"

Of course, Guo Shouyun is clear about this, he has invested two gold before, a long position of 500 million US dollars was invested on January 15 and lasted until the end of the month, so the average price in the second half of January, that is, 262.34 US dollars per ounce. The second tranche of $2.5 billion was invested on Feb. 13 and was acquired at an average price of $258.74 per ounce in the second half of February. The price of gold at the close of trading on the London Gold Exchange on March 1 was $263.78 an ounce. So overall, Guo Shouyun's gold futures did not lose money, and even maintained a profit of more than $900 million.

"Is there any particular reason for the fall in the price of gold?"

"It's just a fine-tuning of the market, if there is any reason, it may have something to do with the decline in demand in the East!"

Guo Shouyun suddenly realized that February is the Chinese New Year, and the wealthy aunts like to buy some gold jewelry during the New Year. Therefore, the off-peak season of China, India, and other large gold demand countries will also have a certain impact on international gold prices. In later generations, the news of 'Aunt Huaxia's victory over Wall Street investment banks' has been mentioned many times.

"Boss, the price of gold in the London morning market is out!"

The words of the trader Huang Xiaoping instantly attracted the attention of Guo Shouyun and Zhang Shaoling.

"How much?"

Guo Shouyun took two steps forward and said urgently.

"$263.52, down 26 basis points from yesterday!"

"It's falling!" Guo Shouyun was faintly excited in his heart, because it has fallen a lot now, and when the Argentine financial crisis breaks out, it will rise more fiercely.

"Boss, do you want to increase your position?" Zhang Shaoling said.

"Plus!"

Guo Shouyun nodded vigorously, counting Amazon's equity loans, as well as the third batch of ABS securities, and the previous position margin, he still has $2.2 billion in his hand.

"$800 million, split into 24 different time periods, traded in London, New York, Hong Kong. ”

There are five major gold markets in the world, namely Zurich, London, New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo. This is because the time zone of each trading market is different. Therefore, according to the convention, the trading hours of the world's major gold markets are based on London time, forming continuous gold trading in London, New York, Chicago and Hong Kong.

Generally speaking, morning pricing at 10:30 a.m. in London kicks off the North American gold market. New York, Chicago and other places have opened successively, and when London is priced in the afternoon, New York and other places are still trading. At this time, trading also began in Hong Kong. The tail market in London affects the morning market price in the United States, the tail market in the United States affects the opening price in Hong Kong, and the tail market in Hong Kong and the closing price in the United States affect the opening price in London, and so on, forming a global 24-hour gold trading market.

However, the vast majority of the gold invested by Guo Shouyun is gold futures rather than spot. So his main trading markets are New York and Chicago, which are the world's largest gold futures trading markets. As the world's largest gold market, London mainly trades spot gold. Of course, there are futures, but not as much as New York and Chicago. However, the gold price in London affects the global price of spot gold and futures gold.

Guo Shouyun gave an order, and everyone got busy. Traders put their money into the trading accounts of the Thunder Fund in the world's five largest gold markets, and analysts began to look for every factor that could affect the price of gold from the high-priced information provided by the intelligence companies they worked with: such as the trend of the US dollar, the price of oil, the supply and demand of gold, and geopolitics.

Although these are not enough to change Guo Shouyun's decision, they are something he can't help but understand. And he was waiting for the day when analysts would hand him information on Argentina's debt default.

On March 2, the international gold price fell by 27 basis points. On March 3, Guo Shouyun bought another $8 billion gold long into the gold market, and on March 3, gold fell by 17 basis points. On March 4, Guo Shouyun invested all the funds in his hand, which means that he has a full position from now on. On March 4, gold fell 21 basis points.

In three days, gold fell by 65 basis points, and the continuous decline made the money in Guo Shouyun's account continue to lose, but fortunately, the previously profitable funds can still be supported, and it has not harmed his principal.

"Boss, at 11 o'clock, the Chicago gold futures price fell by 2 basis points. ”

"Boss, at 11:30, the price of gold futures in New York fell by 1 basis point. ”

The quotation every half an hour made Guo Shouyun, who was sitting on the chair with his arms folded, frowning more and more, staring at the green price curve in front of him with sharp eyes, and the anxious emotions in his heart were slowly accumulating.

"Shaoling, is there no news from Argentina?"

Alfonso has no new information. There was also no news of a debt default in the 57 major Argentine financial media. After a pause, Zhang Shaoling showed a hint of hesitation on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Just half an hour ago, Argentine Finance Minister Mario Kempas made a televised speech announcing that they would repay investors' debts on time. ”

Guo Shouyun's face changed, and his brows instantly twisted.
