Chapter 409: Buy some gold and play golf
As the financial tsunami continues to deepen, many people can't sit still as many of the previously hidden lids are lifted.
As soon as Lehman fell, there were a lot of other peers, in fact, it was not involved, everyone was almost the same, and the things they did were all the same, the profit-seeking nature of capital, you can do it, Lao Tzu can do it, and everyone can also do it jointly.
Seeing that the domino effect is about to come out, then the country is coming out.
As a result, the United States began to take over a number of banking institutions, in fact, Lehman is now filing for bankruptcy protection, that is, it is actually equivalent to leaving a mess to the US government......
These things are all headaches, Wu Xiang thought that he was a big director and should do his job seriously, so he used the money left over from the box office to buy 100 million US dollars in gold!
I bought it one after another, I started it a long time ago, Wu Xiang, this guy is a reborn, he is really not greedy, he is really not greedy, he is really not greedy, he is really ......
As a reborn, Wu Xiang naturally knows that as long as the financial tsunami comes and the economic crisis deepens, the stock market will be finished, and in the United States, once the stock market is finished, the US government can't stand it, their financial industry accounts for too high a proportion of GDP, and once the stock market is finished, the whole country will be destroyed, so the stock market must be saved, then the dollar must be printed!
If you print dollars, then the dollars will be cheaper, and precious metals, such as gold, will naturally rise.
Even if you don't understand the truth, you can know it if you just pay attention to the news. After two years, the price of gold has become outrageous.
Is the U.S. financial industry that high as a percentage of GDP?
It's really that high, it's like a lifeline. Because the most direct thing is that in fact, a large part of the economic growth of the United States in the past ten years has relied on the financial industry, and before the financial tsunami, the rise in real estate prices has also made a great contribution.
In other words, many GZJY mouths, why does our country's economic growth depend on real estate. Relying on the stock market or something, they all expressed great pessimism. But what is really realizing this statement is the heaven in GZJY's mouth. America.
Wu Xiang remembered that Brother Cui in North America had a saying, "The people who love the United States the most are not Americans, but those GZJYs on the other side of the ocean."
Brother Cui's mouth is very damaged. He is not the one to whom he sings praises. However, this sentence still makes a lot of sense.
This is also why, after Ohama came to power, his economic policy was to directly take money to the financial oligarchs, on the one hand, he himself represented the interests of the financial consortium, and on the other hand, in fact, the president of the United States is like a CEO, as long as he gives the financial industry to live. Then economic growth will come back, so this work performance of oneself. Doesn't it become pretty?
The president of the United States also has KPIs......
These things are all later, Wu Xiang just needs to make a fortune now, we are not greedy, just 100 million, just 100 million. However, just when Wu Xiang was making a fortune in a muffled voice, he hit Hong Kong, and someone invited Wu Xiang.
Invitation from Hong Kong, who is that? Andy? Could this guy also lose no money in the stock market?
No, Andy doesn't know if he plays stocks, but as a friend, can Wu Xiang not give some inside information?
Who's that?
Cha Maosheng!
That's right, it's the current chairman of ATV, an independent director of New World Corporation, and the chairman of HKR Group...... Anyway, the big man of the Cha family with many titles, people sent an invitation to Wu Xiang, hoping to play golf together.
Golf, this is a 'tall' sport, one of the four gentlemen's sports, but Wu Xiang's sling just likes to ride a bicycle, as for the four gentlemen's sports, he really doesn't know anything.
So since you don't know anything, don't you go?
Of course not, because Wu Xiang felt that Mr. Cha Maosheng was very sincere this time, although neither of them had met personally.
Where is the sincerity?
This sincerity is reflected in this place where you play golf, and this place is the magic capital Shanghai!
That's right, not in Hong Kong, but in the magic capital, what does this mean?
Wu Xiang is in the capital or the northeast, while Hong Kong is in the south, and Shanghai is in the middle of the two?......
There was a crisp snap, and I saw Wu Xiang, who was wearing a body that looked very similar to that, and hit the ball high with a hard shot, and the ball flew so badly that it didn't land for a long time, and I saw ...... Poof, fell into the small lake.
Well, Wu Xiang is a layman.
Bang Bang Bang ...... This Nima makes people speechless, and some people applaud for this virtue?
"That's a lot of energy!"
"That's amazing!"
"This ball is flying, my God, it seems that this ball is too light, with Wu Sheng's skills, it seems appropriate to change to a bowling ball. ”
"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, no one treats you as dumb! Obviously, there is a problem with the design of this course, the lake is too big, and it is too close to us!"
"Takami! Takami!"
Such undisciplined comments all came from a group of followers who played with them, but Mr. Cha Maosheng didn't say anything.
"Xiang Zai, you don't seem to be very good at golf. "It's okay, Mr. Zha is really very disciplined.
"Mr. Cha, let me be honest, I don't usually play with this thing at all, and my current clothes and equipment are all ready-made. Wu Xiang knew that the shot just now was very bad, and he didn't want to hide it.
"Hahaha...... Mr. Cha was very happy, "Northerners are honest, very good." ”
At this time, a person next to him suddenly interjected, "Mr. Cha, my junior brother, he has no other shortcomings, he is too honest!"
"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed, but who was this interjection?
Brother Chen Kai!
That's right. It's him, otherwise how can he be called Senior Brother Wu Xiang.
But that's not right, isn't this Wu Xiang who was invited by Cha Maosheng? Why can Brother Chen Kai still come?
Let's do it. I have to start with this golf course, and the golf course where a few of them play now is called Tomson Golf Course.
Still don't get it?
Tomson, it's the Tomson of Tomson, if you don't understand, there is a person's name, Hu Feng. This time......
Well, to put it simply, Hu Feng is an actress in the former treasure island. Later, he married a rich man, who was very powerful and developed well in the treasure island, and as a result, he came to the mainland to invest. This is the Tomson Golf Course. But Hu Feng, a woman, still likes movies very much, so she wants to invest in movies, if you have money, who will you vote for?
This is the origin of the classic "Farewell My Concubine" in that classic back then, that is to say, Chen Kaige actually relied on Hu Feng, a woman, to get up, of course, Hu Feng also made a lot of money from this movie.
This is a good beginning. But sometimes, it's all guessing the beginning. But I can't guess the end.
"Farewell My Concubine" is making money, but the movies after that are really more than one lose, and Hu Feng and her husband are distressed.
Yuan's not to mention, let's just say that the masterpiece "Wuji" in the first two years actually has Hu Feng in it, but the result is known, and it is also a miserable loss, but fortunately, the old Tang family is rich, and it is still lost, but the most fatal blow is the Tomson of the cheating father.
This real estate has been registered, the most expensive real estate in the country, the price per square meter was 130,000 at the beginning, and now it has reached 150,000.
It's going up, but it's really too expensive, it can't be sold, and the trading volume is too low.
If you can't sell it, Hu Feng's husband will ...... Wu Xiang also knows about this, and he can't say whether he is angry with this real estate, but anyway, the matter of investing in movies now, especially the matter of investing in Chen Kaige's films, should be put on hold for a while.
So why do you still come to this golf course to play?
In fact, this time, Cha Maosheng not only invited Wu Xiang, but also invited Brother Chen Kai, as well as several other well-known directors in China, and this place was chosen by Brother Chen Kai, which can be regarded as a related unit. I've been making movies for others for so many years, and I haven't earned any money, so why don't you take care of your old club when you play ball or something?
This is all human sophistication, even if Brother Chen Kai is a big director, he has to understand.
"I'm a little tired, Xiangzai, you can't play too well, why don't you accompany me, an old man, to have a drink?" The atmosphere just now was very good, everyone was laughing, so Mr. Cha Maosheng came to say this.
"Okay, then ask a few teachers for a leave of absence, you guys have fun, I won't be ugly. Wu Xiang understands that at this time, the main drama should be played.
"Okay, okay, you guys go, let's go on. "I don't know if Brother Chen Kai understands it, but anyway, he's focusing on playing ball now.
Obviously, judging from the current situation, Mr. Cha's invitation to these people is nothing more than a cover-up. Especially the appearance of Chen Kaige, this is even more obvious.
Wu Xiang is very famous, so at least there must be someone who is similar to his fame, so that people can't understand Cha Maosheng's true thoughts.
But in this way, Wu Xiang knew in his heart that Zha Maosheng invited him this time, and there was definitely something important to talk about. In other words, in this economic and financial tsunami, the Cha family in Hong Kong may have lost a lot of money.
Wu Xiang had some feelings before he came, so he made some summaries of the recent news to see what was going on.
It turned out that this matter is really not small!
The impact of the collapse of Lehman on Hong Kong is very huge, far beyond Wu Xiang's imagination. In fact, the reason why Lehman has been able to develop so fast and be so outstanding among its peers is mainly because they have done a good job in Far East affairs, and it should be said that they came to Hong Kong at a good time, just in time for Hong Kong's rapid development.
In 1970, Lehman established a branch in Hong Kong. Don't underestimate this era, because it was in the 70s that Hong Kong really developed, and before that, Hong Kong was not so important.
What happened in the 70s to make Hong Kong so developed?
The simple answer is that China and the United States have established diplomatic relations, and Hong Kong is an export, the whole country of our ancient oriental country!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lehman Brothers has also developed very quickly, very powerfully, and before Lehman collapsed, they had sold a mini-bond in Hong Kong.
What is a mini-bond?
Mini-bonds, not bonds, to put it bluntly, this is that 'zero within zero'!
And Hong Kong is the region with the largest number of Lehman minibonds, so what should I do if something happens now?
It's not a bond at all, and now that Lehman is done, it's just a piece of waste paper right now, maybe not even paper, because it's mostly electronic now.
This is a huge hole, how can such a big hole be plugged?
In the end, the Hong Kong government decided that this thing would be plugged by itself, that is, the Hong Kong government would repay the bond.
Having said that, Hong Kong is a free port, so the Hong Kong government should be the executor of the free market economy, but now they want to repay this bond, which is against the spirit of the free market economy, so behind this, that is, who is supporting the Hong Kong government, does this need to be said?
Is it okay not to pay?
The answer, of course, is no, if it is not repaid, then Hong Kong can still be stable and prosperous?
But despite this, this loss is also very large, and the impact of the financial tsunami on Hong Kong is very powerful!
"Xiang Zai, are you interested in ATV?"
Came to the restaurant of the golf course, found a place with a good view, and there were no people, as soon as Zha Maosheng and Wu Xianggang sat down, the old man came directly.
"......" Wu Xiang really didn't expect people to be so direct, but at this time, there is no need to hide it.
"Of course!" (to be continued......)
