Chapter 218 Private Jets

……

When he returned home and saw that Wendy hadn't left, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although he restrained his desires and kept his responsibility to Molly, the relationship between him and his side by day and night for more than a year was not something that could be let go. It's just that Guo Shouyun also knows in his heart that this state will not last long. However, procrastination with the excuse of finding a replacement was already the best he could think of.

"Boss!"

"Haven't you rested yet?"

Habitually, he took off his coat and handed it over.

"I'm sorting out some information on private jets!" Wendy said as she took Guo Shouyun's coat and expertly placed it in the crook of her arm.

"Is there a suitable one?"

"Yes. There are two most suitable aircraft, namely Airbus's A319 and Bombardier Global 5000, and the two are currently new aircraft that customers have unsubscribed to, and the range and speed also meet the requirements of the boss. ”

"What about the price?"

"The A319 has more performance and volume and costs $75 million. The Bombardier Global 5000 is priced at a relatively low price of $33.5 million. ”

"What is the speed and maximum range of the Bombardier Global 5000?"

"Mach 0.89, 5,200 nautical miles, fully meets the needs of transcontinental travel. Wendy said.

"Where's the crew?"

Guo Shouyun nodded and continued.

"It can carry up to 17 passengers, including 3 crew members!"

"That's enough, so be it!"

Wendy nodded.

"By the way, how long will it take to get the plane?"

"Bombardier gives back two weeks!"

"It's not long. … Also, don't use the funds of various companies to buy the plane, just use my manuscript fee!"

Separating business from private finance is something Guo Shouyun has always insisted on. He doesn't want to plant the seeds of the company's damage to the public and private because of his own selfish desires.

"Understood!"

Nodding his head and looking at Guo Shouyun's back, Wendy hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything. Although she wants to leave the other party's side, when it comes to saying goodbye, feelings are still greater than reason.

When I returned to the study, I was just about to open the mailbox to read the bulletins of various companies, but my mobile phone suddenly rang.

"Matthew, is there something wrong?"

After glancing at the caller ID, Guo Shouyun pressed the answer button.

"Boss, we've lost another $4.48 million!" Matthew's tone was uneasy and frustrated.

Although it was not good news, Guo Shouyun's tone did not change in particular.

"What's going on?"

"In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Valencia lost 1-2 away to Arsenal. We lost the money we pressed on Valencia. ”

"If you lose, you will lose, and then you can bet according to the plan I gave you. ”

Compared with last year, Guo Shouyun is more prepared for betting on the Champions League this year. Not only did Matthew and his team disperse early in Macau, Las Vegas, Monaco, Atlantic City and other gambling meccas, but they also entered the venue earlier than before. Almost at the beginning of the 00~01 Champions League, he had already bet on various teams. Especially Bayern Munich and Valencia, who are destined to reach the final.

Of course, the result of such a bet is to win and lose. However, it is definitely more to win and lose less. Guo Shouyun deliberately did this to confuse the line of sight and avoid unexpected human interference. Wait until the final, where he knows the results best, to really make a big profit.

After explaining Matthew, Guo Shouyun opened his mailbox, and the first thing he looked at every time was the gold futures and spot prices sent to him by Zhang Shaoling twice a day, as well as the latest news in the Argentine financial market.

On the whole, Argentina's debt crisis has been around since mid-March by cutting government spending, reducing the deficit, and negotiating with foreign creditors.

However, Argentina's domestic demand is sluggish, the pattern of high debt has not been fundamentally changed, and the bubble remains. The industrial production index and the agricultural index are still falling, the stock market is volatile, and the currency depreciation has not changed. The change brought about by this series of trends is that the price of gold has risen from about $256 per ounce when Guo Shouyun went long for the second time to about $265 per ounce now. On average, Guo Shouyun earned nearly $1,000 per lot.

But even so, the price of gold futures and spot is still some way from the price he sold at $280 an ounce. So, the entire Solomonic group remained motionless at his behest. However, with the money earned, it is a foundation. His close to $4.4 billion in position margin could be withdrawn and diverted for other purposes.

"$4.4 billion, minus half of the principal. Twenty percent, or $440 million, is the income of the Thunder Fund. The remaining 80 percent, or $158 million of the $1.76 billion, is the client's position margin, and the remaining $1.422 billion is what I can use. ”

Thinking of this, Guo Shouyun couldn't help but sigh while being happy. According to the U.S. federal tax law, short-term investment income less than one year is subject to 25% capital gains tax. He had to donate all of that money to a charity fund to avoid a loss of nearly $400 million.

Fortunately, he has two charitable funds under his own banner, so the control of this money is still in his own hands.

"The acquisition of Marvel will cost 9~10 billion, and the price will be similar if ISHARES is wholly owned. Apple's 14.9 percent stake is $600 million. ”

Counting the bulk of their own expenses, the $4.4 billion position margin has basically gone by half.

In addition, under his VAM agreements with Morgan, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and Bank of America, he will have to pay $1.4 billion in cash after buying Pacific Power & Gas and Southern California Edison Power, excluding Apple's $600 million.

In this way, the position margin of 4.4 billion US dollars, deducting the part belonging to the customer, can basically meet the needs. However, sustaining losses in the Pacific and Southern California would require his investment in gold.

In particular, the combined monthly loss of nearly $500 million, as well as the $1.5 billion bank loan that is about to mature, made Guo Shouyun feel unhappy and at the same time have a sense of urgency.

"The California energy crisis must end as soon as possible. ”

The thoughts in his mind grew stronger. But it's a pity that Rebecca Mark, who has a clear understanding of Enron's internal situation, has never agreed to meet, which makes Guo Shouyun have a headache.

Picked up the phone, found Will Harrington's number, and dialed it.

"Boss!"

"What's going on with Rebecca Mark?" Guo Shouyun asked directly after answering.

"We've been in secret contact with her again, but unfortunately they've all been rejected so far. Moreover, in order to avoid being discovered by Enron's people and preparing in advance, we did not contact each other too often. So so far, there's not much progress!" said Will Harrington guiltily.

Guo Shouyun frowned, but did not criticize the other party, he knew that Will Harrington did his best. Rebecca Mark must have her own considerations for not agreeing to meet.

"What do you think is the reason for this?"

"This woman has extraordinary ambitions, and she should wait for another opportunity. ”

"Opportunity, what opportunity?" Guo Shouyun said in surprise.

"A chance to replace Jeffrey Jilin and reclaim Enron's supreme power!"

Guo Shouyun nodded thoughtfully, Will Harrington's analysis is indeed very suitable for Rebecca Mark's character. Moreover, if it weren't for the woman's ability and connections, Jeffrey Jilin would not have 'sent' her to London, away from Houston, the center of Enron's rule.

In this case, there is no fundamental conflict between her goals and ours, and there is even a basis for cooperation. But why did she avoid us instead?" asked Guo Shouyun with a frown.

"She should think it's not time to meet us yet!"

"Timing!"

Guo Shouyun instantly had more associations.

After thinking about it more, it only made him think more about talking to Rebecca Mark face-to-face.

"Where is she now?"

"I spend most of my time at the Azuricos Water headquarters in London, and I go back to my home in Houston on Saturdays and Sundays. ”

"Keep an eye on her whereabouts, I want to know where she is at all times!" Guo Shouyun said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes!"

Hung up the phone and looked at his schedule, Guo Shouyun rubbed his sideburns with a headache, and he couldn't take care of the other party for the time being. After processing the documents of various companies and talking to Molly in Exeter on the phone as usual, Guo Shouyun went to bed.

After breakfast the next morning, Guo Shouyun took John Lu Simi, who had made an appointment in advance, to the headquarters of Phoenix Company in New York.

"Boss!"

"William, this is John Lusmi, he will become a member of the company as the leader of the Thunder Fund's 'Centaur Team' in the future, you guys get to know him!"

William Chang nodded, smiled and extended his right hand to John Luthmi.

"See you again!"

"I didn't expect to really work with Mr. Zhang!"

Looking at the two people shaking hands, Guo Shouyun was surprised: "What?

"I saw it once three years ago at Morgan Stanley's bond launch for Prager Energy!" William Chang.

"At that time, I was very convinced by Mr. Zhang's analysis, so the conversation was more speculative. The impression left is also relatively deep. ”

Guo Shouyun nodded clearly, "Since you know each other, then I don't need to introduce you." … William, I'll prepare an office for John later!"

"Understood!"

"John, you should understand that time is of the essence. So, I'll give you a week to solve the personnel problem. Also, during this week, the centaur team is to be fully funded as I said it will be invested. ”

Although Argentina's internal financial environment is relatively stable on the surface, there are already turbulent internal currents, and no one knows whether a crisis will break out in the next moment. Therefore, investing money as early as possible can ensure that you get the most out of the opportunity when it comes.

John Lusmi, who also understood this, immediately nodded. Although he doesn't quite agree with Guo Shouyun's investment strategy, he must resolutely implement it if he decides.

"William, come to my office in a moment!"

"Yes!" ()
