Chapter 204: Dividends?
inexplicably carried the black pot for others, Tang Bao was of course very unhappy in his heart.
Call.
Tang Bao took a deep breath and resisted the urge to scold his mother, he also understood that he was afraid that the mysterious person chose to appear at that time, and he also deliberately threw the black cauldron at him, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding himself. Now, even if Tang Bao went outside to tell reporters that it was not him who frantically suppressed the price of gold futures that day, but someone else, I am afraid that few people would believe what he said.
"Don, the gold futures war has attracted too much attention, and your role in this gold futures war has also been highlighted. Whatever the real situation is, the outside world will not look into it, they have already subconsciously decided that you are the one who directed and led the gold futures war......" Lady Annette reminded.
"Hmm."
Tang Bao hummed softly, in the whole gold futures war, he was very active and strong as a bearish force.
Thereinto.
He has taken the lead in suppressing gold futures prices many times, and he has also acted as the absolute main force. At this time, if he tells others that there are speculators who are stronger than him hidden in the bears, the outside world will definitely not accept it and will not believe it. Because in their opinion, Tang Bao is the first main force among the bears, and the shocking reversal of the bears is inseparable from Tang Bao......
"That mysterious man, what a sinister!" Nick couldn't help but sigh, and Horst nodded in agreement.
Hear the words.
Lady Annette smiled slightly, sinister...... She thinks it's normal, in the financial field, there are many people who like to live in seclusion and manipulate behind the scenes. They don't like to be disturbed, they don't care about fame and honor, and they don't want to expose their existence to the public eye.
They enjoy the thrill of plundering wealth in the dark!
"Hmm...... Don, I've noticed a little bit that the mysterious man has shorted the number of gold futures as high as 600 million ounces, and based on the current price of gold futures. He will make at least tens of billions of dollars in profits, if not more! At the same time, many speculators who are bullish on gold futures have suffered heavy losses because of him. Mrs. Annette analyzed, and then, her eyes fell on Tang Bao's body, reminding, "It is estimated that these speculators who have suffered heavy losses hate you to gnash your teeth, I suggest that you keep a low profile in the near future and stop appearing in the public eye." lest they be provoked ......"
Tang Bao shrugged helplessly, there was no way, the mysterious people wantonly suppressed the gold, and he must have to carry this black cauldron.
"Hmm. When the gold futures are closed, I also want to take a good break for a while, and it should not attract the attention of the media......"
"Well, boss, don't talk too much. Truth be told, you're in every corner at the moment. may become the focus of news reporters. The external office of Phoenix Investment Group has received countless appointments from reporters who want to interview you! Horst kindly reminded.
"Don, President Horst is right, you can be in the news wherever you appear. Unless you stay at home all the time and don't show up...... If you say that you are completely cut off from the media. It's simply impossible. When I say stop being in the public eye, I hope that you will keep your distance from journalists and respond to any questions or interviews from reporters with silence. Don't give any response. Mrs. Annette reminded.
"I know what to do!" Tang Bao smiled and nodded in response.
……
Then.
Tang Bao and Mrs. Annette had a detailed discussion and discussed various countermeasures, in order to dilute Tang Bao's role in the gold futures war as much as possible. No way. This gold futures war has damaged the interests of too many investment institutions, and if they are not dealt with properly, they may be hated by these investment institutions for a lifetime. Now, Tang Bao and Phoenix Investment Group are very strong, and the other party has no way to take Tang Bao, but no one can guarantee that Tang Bao can continue like this, in case he encounters a predicament, these people who hate him will jump out of the trap at once, and it will be a pit.
"The owner...... How much money did you make in this gold futures war? I held this question in my heart for a long time, and finally, Horst couldn't help but ask.
Hear the words.
Lady Annette and Nick's eyes also fell on Tang Bao's face, waiting for an answer. Obviously, they also very much want to know Tang Bao's investment income in this gold futures war. They all understand that the price of gold futures has been falling, and it is inevitable that Tang Bao will make a lot of money, but they don't know the specific amount of numbers.
"Huh. To be honest, I don't know. Besides, gold futures are still slowly being closed, and it is impossible to say if the position has not been closed! Tang Bao said with a smile on his face.
"Forehead ......"
"Boss, how can you not know, even if the position is not closed, you can calculate an approximate investment income based on the current gold futures price." Nick said.
"Tang, this question is not only curious for us, but I am afraid that the shareholders of Phoenix Investment Group are also very curious." Mrs. Annette said with a smile.
"Yes, boss, both Tostan and Macaulay have asked me about gold futures earnings." Horst nodded in agreement.
Tostan, Macaulay......
The corners of Tang Bao's mouth floated a slight smile, at the beginning, when the price of gold futures soared, they jumped up and down, and persuaded Tang Bao to quickly close the position and stop loss, threatening that gold futures were garbage...... even almost had a conflict with Tang Bao, accusing Tang Bao of going his own way and not taking into account the interests of minority shareholders.
Scold.
Now that the price of gold futures has plummeted, and seeing that it is going to make money, it has begun to care about "garbage".
"Hey, are you all so anxious? After the liquidation is completed, it will definitely summarize the gains and losses of gold futures. However, it may also be revealed that as of yesterday, Legge and others have just completed one-tenth of the gold futures liquidation operation, making a net profit of $1.2 billion. And as the price of gold futures continues to fall, the income will be higher and higher, so I roughly estimated that the profit from shorting gold futures this time should be between $12 billion and $15 billion......," Tang Bao said with a smile.
$12 billion to $15 billion?
Lady Annette, Nick, and Horst were stunned and speechless for a long time.
"Tang, it seems that I really underestimated you when I asked you to reach $500 in assets within three years." Mrs. Annette, who had come to her senses, whispered.
"The owner...... Robbery of a bank is not as fast as you make money! Nick sighed.
"Whew. It's a pity that I couldn't participate in this gold futures war in person! Horst muttered.
……
Well?
Looking at the expressions of Lady Annette, Nick and Horst, Tang Bao was slightly stunned, and immediately understood that they had misunderstood. couldn't help explaining: "Heh, the funds invested in this gold futures war are not only $1.5 billion from Phoenix Investment Group." I personally contributed two billion dollars, and East West Bank also provided a lot of money. The total amount of money I have operated is close to $4 billion. The return on investment is not as exaggerated as you think! ”
If only 1.5 billion US dollars from Phoenix Investment Group, the investment income is directly more than 1000%. It is no wonder that Mrs. Annette and the others were stunned in surprise.
Pity.
Even if the price of gold futures plummets, the returns will not be so high.
"Oh."
Mrs. Annette nodded understandingly, but even so, the return on investment was frighteningly high, faster than robbing the bank to get money.
"Tang, even so, your income in gold futures this time is very remarkable. Since the end of October last year, gold futures have been heavily shorted. So far, it's been more than five months. Invest $4 billion and net up to at least $12 billion, maybe even as much as $15 billion. The return on investment is between 300% and 500%...... Many Wall Street investors find it difficult to achieve such a high return on investment once in their lifetime. And you did it with ease! Mrs. Annette sighed.
on this.
Horst nodded approvingly, and since graduating, he has been working on Wall Street. He has seen a lot of people who have achieved an annual return on investment of tens of percent. He has also met many people who can achieve an annual investment income of more than 100 percent; However, it is possible to obtain more than 200% of the investment return. It's really rare.
"Oh, to be able to achieve such an amazing investment return, it is also because I am lucky enough to seize the opportunity and dare to bet heavily."
Achieving several times the investment return in a short period of time, how can Mrs. Annette say it is so simple and easy? How can it be...... Even if it takes time to start the money printing machine.
"Hmm...... According to the proportion of capital contribution, the investment profit shared by Phoenix Investment Group should be between 4.5 billion and 6 billion US dollars. ”
"Pretty much."
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, agreeing with Mrs. Annette's calculation.
"Hey, Horst, you can say whatever you want!" Suddenly seeing Horst's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Tang Bao couldn't help but smile and said.
"The owner...... Yes, a few days ago, gold futures suddenly plummeted, and we all know that the boss will get rich investment returns in this gold futures war. In addition to everyone's joy, Tostan has proposed that Phoenix Investment Group pay a shareholder dividend at the end of this year! Horst replied.
"Dividend ......"
Tang Bao couldn't help frowning, stared at Horst nervously, and asked, "Tostan once proposed a shareholder dividend?" Horst, what did he say besides the dividends? For example, borrowing funds from Phoenix Investment Group and the like......"
"Nope."
Horst shook his head suspiciously, he didn't know why the boss suddenly asked such a strange question, a little foggy. Even he didn't understand who Tang Bao was talking about borrowing funds. "Boss, Tostan brought it up casually as everyone was celebrating. That's it, and nothing else is mentioned. ”
Suddenly.
Horst slapped the back of the head and said, "Oh, yes, boss." Before that, Tostan had complained to me about something. ”
"Tell me about it!"
Tang Bao said calmly.
"Well, right now, Phoenix Investment Group has two major corporate accounts, one with Citi and one with East West Bank. For these two major corporate accounts, we have focused on the East West Bank account, and the vast majority of the capital transactions and corporate liquidity storage are handled by East West Bank...... Citibank has gradually been relegated to a secondary position. Tostan complained about it! Horst recounted. He said that almost all of Phoenix Investment Group's accounts with Citibank had become empty, and that some of the funds should be put in Citibank's accounts. He also said that Citibank and East West Bank are shareholders of Phoenix Investment Group and should not be treated differently. ”
"Running out of money in your Citibank account?" Tang Bao asked.
"Not really! After all, there are some areas of business that East West Bank is so weak that it can't handle. Phoenix Investment Group must do so with the help of a Citibank account! In Citibank's account, the funds held have always been around $100 million, which seems to be a lot, but when compared with the amount of funds in the account of East West Bank, it seems very small. Horst Road.
"Well, that's good!"
Tang Bao smiled and nodded, praising it. "Don't heed Tostan's complaints. As for the year-end dividend, don't even think about it, it's absolutely impossible! ”
Dividends......
Tang Bao sneered in his heart, even if Phoenix Investment Group had too many funds to spend, it was impossible for him to choose to pay shareholder dividends this year. (To be continued......)
