Previously, Claire and Link had mentioned Neil's plan. Later, he also had a discussion with Neil about the gold futures market.

Neil believes that the price of gold futures will rise from September to the end of this year due to the depreciation of the US dollar.

The big market that Neil dares to do now is a big market caused by such an economic trend. This kind of big market caused by the general economic trend is not easy to control, and the risk is lower for him.

"Is there now signs of depreciation of the dollar?"

Neil looked at him in surprise and said, "Didn't you pay attention to the price at which your crude oil is being sold now?"

"In the past two months, the price of crude oil from my wells has really been gradually rising," Link said. Lately, it seems to be sixty-one dollars a barrel. Two months ago, it seemed like forty-eight dollars. ”

Neil nodded and said, "So the dollar is depreciating!"

Although the U.S. dollar is no longer the world's only trade settlement currency, it is still the main settlement method for oil. The entry of the other two currencies into the international oil trade market has also made the depreciation of the dollar more obvious in oil futures.

The dollar has depreciated or depreciated, but the other two currencies have remained stable. Changes in the dollar will be reflected in oil prices almost immediately.

They've talked about these issues before. Neil judged that gold prices would rise, mainly because he believed that the US economy was in a downward range. The international economic competition has made the dollar no longer strong, and the economic changes in the United States are more likely to be reflected in the dollar.

The dollar depreciates, and for the dollar, of course, the price of gold will go higher. And it's a matter of faith. Neil believes that the dollar's performance in the gold price will outweigh its actual depreciation. In this case, there is room to go long on gold futures.

And Neil believes that the dollar will readjust to return to the normal exchange rate. Then one in and one out, they can make a profit.

"So, what's your plan?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I'd like to have your gold at my disposal. ”

"Now?"

"Yes. The current price of gold futures is very abnormal. The dollar is depreciating, while gold futures are declining, and it has been for more than half a month. Today's gold futures are down about 4% from last month. This is not in line with the laws of the market. ”

"Do you think someone is manipulating the price of gold?"

"The market does give me that feeling. I suspect someone is shaking the gold market. They may include mining companies, gold exporters, and, of course, Wall Street. ”

"You're going to start now?"

"I think they're going to push the gold price down by about 15% right now. Then let the gold price turn upwards. ”

The market cycle of gold futures will be relatively long. Of course, this cycle is mainly positively correlated with the world economy. Link was a little apprehensive.

Neil's plan may work, first follow the trend and sell gold short, and then see the opportunity to go long backhand. But he worries that Neil only sees the state of the economy in the United States.

That's not for him to worry too much. Most Americans still think that they are the best in the world.

It is true that the United States is still the world's largest economy in terms of total economic output. But the impact of the economies of Europe and East Asia on the world economy cannot be ignored. Considering only the economic situation in the United States in this case narrows the horizon.

He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then said, "Neil, are you sure that inflation in the United States will cause the price of gold to skyrocket?"

"It won't skyrocket, but the dollar, as one of the world's most important currencies, still has more influence than other currencies. In fact, the euro and the renminbi, which are good currencies, still hold a large amount of dollars. The dollar fluctuates, and the most likely thing they do is to replace it with gold. ”

Link listened to him and knew he was worrying too much. Neil took other factors into account.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll let Claire lend the gold to the financial investment company." ”

Neil smiled and said, "I'm going to New York this time." ”

"Aren't you afraid?" said Link, who was stunned for a moment, but immediately thought of a reason that made Neil want to go to New York. "I have no opinion. ”

Neil looked at him with an ambiguous smile and didn't explain, just said, "Maybe they're looking for me to sell short." As much as I sell short, they will eat it. ”

"What if you don't have time to cover your position?"

"I'm not greedy!" Neil's smile was sinister. "Hopefully they won't be too surprised. "He's put up with Wall Street for almost a year, and it's time to surprise them.

Link smiled and said, "Okay." When you want to use gold, use it when you want to use it. I'll deposit the ones in Mora's estate with the bank first. "As for those that are placed outside the United States, they can be used directly.

Neil nodded and said, "I'm still thinking about the operation plan, and when the plan is made, I'll send it to you." ”

Although Link doesn't play speculation directly, there are some things he must know. Only then can they work together.

After Link leaves his office, he goes back to Claire to tell Claire about it. It's a program.

Although he agreed, he needed to say it to Claire in person.

After that, he reached the second floor. He walked into Jessica's office. Jessica said, "You've come just in time." Here's a New Zealand buying bid. They wanted to buy a batch of baby alpacas. ”

"That Ololo?" New Zealand will come to buy alpacas, and Link only thinks of the Chinese New Zealander who took the initiative to ask for cooperation. "He asked for alpacas so quickly. Don't wait for autumn?"

Autumn in the United States is spring in New Zealand. If purchased now, alpacas are delivered to New Zealand after a winter. Normally, no one would choose to buy at this time.

"Maybe he has his own ideas. Jessica handed the document to him. He offered to buy a hundred alpacas for his farm in New Zealand. In addition, in this purchase application, it is also mentioned that it is hoped to buy a thousand alpacas this fall. However, the export destination is Australia. At the same time, he hopes to buy a batch of alfalfa seeds by the end of summer. ”

"He seems to be quite positive. ”

His partnership with Ololo is not only to sell the alpacas, but also to grow high-yielding alfalfa on each other's farms. At the same time, a small desalination field should be built. The desalination field is mainly managed by the other party, and he can participate in it by investing six million dollars.

He looked at the fax and looked up and asked, "I remember, the six million dollars have been transferred to him?"

"Yes, it was transferred to him as soon as the cooperation agreement was signed. So they move very quickly. ”

"Didn't his farm say it's more than thirty miles from the sea, and the desalination yard was repaired so quickly?"

"I didn't receive that information. I think they just want to grow alfalfa now. ”

The Australian farm that Ololo cooperated with others is in the desert, and there is no water to grow alfalfa?

Link thought for a moment and said, "Agree to their request." Just sell them as much as they ask. ”

"But are there enough alpacas in Oregon? They want a thousand mature alpacas, and most of them are females. ”

There are tens of thousands of baby alpacas on farms in Southern Oregon, but adult female alpacas are all artificially inseminated. If you can't do it once, you will know that you are pregnant a second time. The vast majority of the alpacas there are now pregnant. The first batch to conceive will not be able to give birth until at least this winter.

Jessica was worried about the lack of numbers because it was impossible for them to sell their pregnant alpacas to each other.

"Although most of them are pregnant, there are new alpacas coming in from Peru. In addition, the baby alpacas on Fairville have grown about the same. ”

"Since there's enough of it, I'll have people reply to them. ”

"Also, let the Australian side know more about the progress of their desalination plant. ”

"Good. Jessica knew that Link took that approach seriously. "You're ready to start in Africa, too?"

"The land is still being sorted out over there. The soil there is very acidic. The pH can reach 3.6. It has to be modified before it can be cultivated. ”

"I've heard that happens in the savannah. Jessica nodded. "For example, the Brazilian Altiplano. Their land is also acidic and cannot be used for farming at all without modification. However, will the investment be significant?"

"It's not going to be a big investment. While it will take a long time to completely change the soil there, it will not be unbearable. I'm worried about whether the transformed land will affect our seeds. If the yield is not satisfactory, the promotion effect will be unsatisfactory. ”

Jessica reassures him and says, "At least there's Africa, isn't it?"

"That's right. Link said with a smile. "At least Africa. There are more than 50 countries and 1.1 billion people. This market is already huge. ”

One of the reasons why he built a model farm in Africa is because Africa urgently needs that kind of agricultural technology, and it is easier for him to find a suitable place to do the project. Second, if it is successful in Africa, the propaganda will be even better.

If the yield is not satisfactory, it will certainly not play a propaganda role in other countries with more developed agriculture. But for Africa, even if the yield is only six or seven percent of that grown in the United States, it is considered a high yield there. Those countries in Africa are certainly willing to accept it.

"I'll let the African company do that project well. You can rest assured!"

Link nodded and said, "Don't be too nervous. I plan to build a demonstration base in China as well. Not in Africa, and there. ”

"You've decided?"

"Hmm. Link said with a smile. "Just decided. ”

Jessica rolled her eyes. This guy himself is here. He just made a decision, and he didn't discuss it with himself before making a decision. She didn't mean disagree. But that made her feel like this guy didn't take his president to heart at all.

Seeing her expression, Link laughed and said, "Do you think there's a better option?"

Jessica said angrily, "Not really." That may be the reason why she couldn't get angry.

Link took a sip of water and said, "Let's go to China together in June." Bring the kids along and play!"

"Are you going to go to China ahead of schedule?"

Link will attend China's Summer Davos Forum at the end of June.

Link shook his head and said, "You don't have to go in advance, the Davos Forum needs to be held for a few days." But after that we can play in China for a while. Hannah also happened to be on vacation. Let's just think it's a vacation. ”

Jessica thought about it for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll make arrangements for the work in advance." "If both of them go out to play, the company will definitely arrange it first.

Link thought for a moment and then said, "I'm going to go to Las Vegas tomorrow and go back to visit Jeff and Barbara." I'm going to take Caitlyn and Evan with me. ”

"Will you stay overnight?" Jessica was a little worried.

Link laughed and said, "It should be overnight." In the evenings though, I'll take the kids to Hans Farm. They should be able to serve the environment as well. ”

The two children were very sensitive to the environment because they didn't go out much. Going to an unfamiliar environment can be unsettling. Hans farm would be somewhat better.

"Then you take Lisa. Jessica knew that Link certainly wasn't just going to visit her adoptive parents. "If you're not at home, there are people you know with your children. ”

Link nodded, stood up and said, "I'll go back first." What do you want to eat at night?"

"Fried antlistan. ”

"I'll see if there's any cistan in the greenhouse. Link said with a smile. "How about another red wine snail?"

Don't forget to make Hannah her favorite charcoal lobster. ”
