Chapter 36 Porsche 959

Hearing Zhong Shi say this, Liao Chengde was relieved.

He witnessed with his own eyes how Zhongshi made his fortune, and if he wants to put it in the past, he is the so-called "man from the dragon". In the past two years, under the guidance of Zhong Shi, his net worth has surged several times, and he has faintly reached the threshold of 100 million.

However, these are not worth mentioning compared to Zhong Shi, not to mention where Zhong Shi earned this huge amount of money this time, let's just say that Zhong Shi's huge yen option premium in the options market is enough to be worth Liao Chengde's current net worth.

What Liao Chengde didn't know was that if the yen did not rise to 190 yen per dollar in the next year, then Zhong Shi's option premium of up to 80 million Hong Kong dollars would be wiped out in an instant.

Options are like this, if they do not reach the agreed price, then they choose not to exercise, and the loss is only an option premium, and once the agreed price is crossed, the choice of execution can arbitrage between the actual price in the market and the agreed price.

To put it bluntly, options are a kind of legitimate VAM agreement.

"Zhong Sheng, today I made an appointment with the most famous real estate agent on Hong Kong Island. Do you see if it'......" Liao Chengde asked carefully, implying that he should let Zhong Shi go over early, so as not to be rude. Although he is now one of the richest people, he still maintains a cautious habit, and he easily does not offend people unless he has to.

"In the mid-levels? Why do you want to go so early? Did you tell him what I requested? ”

Zhong Shi asked nonchalantly as he got up lazily. And Zhong Yi, who came over on the weekend, was also drinking coffee leisurely in the hall, this thing is too bitter, I don't know that Weishenme people like to drink this, if only there was a little sugar. Zhongyi frowned and thought silently.

When Zhong Shi received a call from Hong Kong saying that he wanted to buy a house on Hong Kong Island in his name, Zhong Yi was so surprised that his jaw almost fell to the ground. What the? Buying a house on Hong Kong Island and in the mid-levels where the rich are gathered?

Who would have thought that Zhong Shi had not gotten up yet, and wasted his heart for Zhongyi, who had worked hard for more than ten hours to travel in vain.

"I said it, there are a few properties nearby, and the market price is about 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not much worse than my villa!"

In the 80s, the price of a luxury house of 20 million Hong Kong dollars was really sky-high, and even after 20 years, the house price here is only a few hundred million, not to mention the inflation for so many years.

"What? A mansion of 20 million? I like to take a sip of coffee and spray it on the colorful Persian carpet, so that a good carpet stains a lot of stains, and Steward Lin, who has been standing next to him, quickly brought a clean towel to clean his face, regardless of the conspicuous stains on the carpet.

"Why is all this fuss about? How will you run a multi-billion dollar fund in the future? Zhong Shi, who was dressed, happened to see this scene, and couldn't help frowning, and said unceremoniously.

"Billions of dollars? Funds? Zhong Yi hurriedly covered his mouth, for fear that another sip of coffee would squirt.

"Fund?"

Liao Chengde rolled his eyes and understood. "Zhong Sheng, do you have any plans to set up a fund? How about counting me too? He was shrewd, and in a blink of an eye he thought of how to climb onto Bell Stone's chariot.

"Don't worry, you're naturally indispensable!" Zhong Shi took a sip of the warm coffee, then glanced at the two people standing in the hall with different expressions, and said, "Let's go, what are you still doing in a daze!" ”

…………

After visiting a few places, Zhong Shi finally chose a mansion with a total of about 20,000 square feet on Repulse Bay Road, which cost 30 million Hong Kong dollars, at a time when Hong Kong's real estate market was recovering from the collapse of '82, and even the high-end residences in the area of South Bay Road on Hong Kong Island had just eased up a little in the '85 property market upswing.

Surrounded by trees and close to the sea, the mansion has a swimming pool and tennis courts. There are three floors of bungalows in the mansion, each with a terrace and an open view. There are fifteen bedrooms, ten bathrooms, four kitchens, and an oversized basement.

Liao Chengde wandered around for a long time, and after coming out, he sighed: "It's really one of the best mansions, compared to here, I am simply a child's thing." ”

And the real estate agent is even more smiling, making such a big deal made him also charge a lot of commissions, and this buyer is generous, he didn't even frown when talking about the price, it is obvious that he is a high roller.

On the way back, Zhong Shi asked Zhong Yi with an excited expression: "Do you want to buy a scooter?" You're coming to Hong Kong to go to school soon, how can you get there without a car? ”

HKU is also on Hong Kong Island, but it is still some distance from Repulse Bay, so if you go to and from school every day, you may be a little rushed.

"Okay!" As soon as he heard that there was a car to drive, Zhong Yi was even more excited, and nodded busily.

"Go to the Porsche dealership!"

Zhong Shi instructed the Land Rover in front. As for Zhong Shi who was pushed to the forefront, Zhong Shi didn't mind packaging him as a gentleman, as long as Zhong Shi hidden deep behind him would not be exposed.

"Zhong Sheng, do you want to buy a car?"

Liao Chengde said that the driving habits in Hong Kong are different from those in mainland China. This is also due to the driving habits of the United Kingdom, where cars generally drive on the left side, and the steering wheel of cars sold in Hong Kong is also on the left side.

"Hmm." Zhong Shi snorted, stared at the scenery outside, and looked at it with interest.

Liao Chengde saw that Zhong Shi had no interest in speaking, so he also closed his voice with interest, closed his eyes and recuperated. As for Zhong Shi's current plans, he became more and more incomprehensible.

In Porsche's flagship store in Hong Kong, a shopping guide with a wonderful figure is patiently talking about the various performance of Porsche sports cars.

"I wonder if 959 reservations are accepted here?"

Zhong Shi looked at the dazzling variety of sports cars, frowned imperceptibly, and said in a voice that only the shopping guide could hear.

“959? It was a new car and reservations were accepted, but the price was ......"

The shopping guide had a look of embarrassment on her face.

The sports cars of the 80s were the Italian Ferrari and the Lamborghini Shijie, but the German Porsche had already made a name for itself, and what was missing was a flagship sports car that overwhelmed the two supergiants, and the Porsche 959 came into being in this situation.

The Porsche 959 is a two-seater sports car, equipped with a rear-mounted 2.8L twin-turbo air-cooled 6-cylinder boxer engine, with a maximum power of 311kW (450PS)/6500rpm, a maximum torque of 500Nm/5500rpm, a top speed of 3m/h, and an acceleration time of 0~100km/h in 3.7 seconds. Between '87 and '89, a total of 283 Porsche 959 units were produced, making it a limited-edition supercar.

There is also a small anecdote about the Porsche 959, that is, the two founders of Microsoft, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, each have a Porsche 959, but because the 959's exhaust emissions do not meet American standards, and the 959 does not have a collision safety level certificate, this car has been banned from driving on the road in California. It wasn't until nearly 10 years after the ban that then-US President Bill Clinton personally signed a federal decree allowing Gates to legally drive his 959. It is even rumored that Gates and Paul Allen have even developed a program to conduct a virtual collision in order to be able to legally drive the car on the road, so as to obtain the all-important collision rating certificate.

The car is also one of the few supercars that has been appreciating in value. At that time, the price was about 225,000 US dollars, equivalent to 1.75 million Hong Kong dollars, plus customs duties, luxury tax, etc., the price after arriving in Hong Kong was about 3 million, and 20 years later, the car could even appreciate to 15 million Hong Kong dollars in the hands of collectors.

On March 13, '86, Microsoft was listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, raising $65 million in its initial offering, an increase of 39 percent on the first day of listing. However, before the launch of win95, Microsoft was still just an IT company with broad growth prospects.

This is also the reason why Zhongshi did not invest in it, and the deeper reason is that it is much easier to make money in the futures market than in the stock market.

"There are only three places in 959 in Hong Kong, this is a zuihou, can I ask sir to book it now?"

Seeing that Zhong Shi had made up her mind, the shopping guide urged vigorously. For her, there are not a few commissions for selling a luxury car.

"Well, book now." Zhong Shi took out the bank card from his arms and asked without looking back, "Where to swipe the card?" ”

"Wait, this car is the first thing I fell in love with, so I have to talk about a first-come-first-served basis, right?"

At this time, a young man of about twenty years old walked from the side, dressed very fancy, and even hung a gold chain the thickness of a little thumb around his neck, which was not a good kind at first glance.

Behind him, there were three or four young men who were also dressed very fancy, looking at Zhong Shi with unkind faces, and there was a big jiashi who would do it if he didn't agree with him.

"Who is this?" Zhong thought that Jiashi was wrong, and hid Zhong Shi behind him, while looking around to see if there was a quick way out. His understanding of Hong Kong at this time came largely from Hong Kong movies, on the big screen, the big guy wearing sunglasses and a windbreaker wantonly swayed bullets, constituting a picture of blood and fire.

"Servant Street, how much money do you have to buy luxury cars in the big circle? Do you know that my old Dou is a beggar? The young man in the flower shirt said disdainfully. As soon as he heard these people speaking Mandarin, the young man in the flower shirt suddenly felt a sense of superiority.

"You stinky boy, I'll let you tie up the Tao and show off, and spend all the money of Lao Tzu!"

Before the young man in the flower shirt finished speaking, he was hit heavily on his forehead, and his eyes were darkened for a while, and his eyes were full of gold stars. The weight of the attack was so heavy that even the few people behind the young man in the flower shirt were dumbfounded. (Ask for clicks, ask for recommendations, ask for favorites)
