Chapter Fifty-Eight: Making a Fortune in Trading, the Professor Talks About Business!

At 8 a.m. on May 6, 1974, Xiaoda, and Xiaoming got up, washed, dressed neatly, and brought weapons and documents on their bodies.

Then, Xiaoda and I borrowed a pallet truck from the ship's customer service department and moved the large iron box of 4,000 ounces of gold in the room to the pallet truck.

The three of us pushed the cart to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, we met Miss Zeng.

After everyone went to the food and drink, the four of us sat together and ate and talked.

Miss Zeng said, "Ah Cai! Wait, you open a bank account at the UBS counter on the exchange! This account has the function of trading futures and securities such as gold, and also has the function of storing US dollar cash! However, I would like to warn you that trading futures and securities is very risky! If you are not careful, you may go bankrupt in an instant! ”

I said, "Understood! I will not trade futures and securities! I just do the storage and sale of gold spots, and in the future, my cash will only be stored for a fixed period! That's no problem, right?! ”

Miss Zeng smiled and said, "Smart! That's it! Futures and securities are part of the casino, a playground for financial giants! You'd better not get involved! ”

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Miss Zeng! Thanks for the reminder! Otherwise, we don't know how to do it! ”

Miss Zeng smiled and said, "Alas! I'm looking at you guys being honest and talking speculatively! I'm willing to help you! After that, we will be friends! You all look smaller than me! In the future, you will all be called Sister Avon! ”

I said, "Okay! In the future, we will call you Sister Avon! ”

After breakfast, we pushed the cart to the UBS office on the ship.

When we arrived at the bank office, it was open.

Under the guidance of Sister Avon, I filled out the "Bank Transaction Account Application Form", and after filling it out, I gave the form to the application window along with my ID card and passport.

The whole application and verification process went very smoothly, and after the counter asked me to enter the transaction password, signature and fingerprints of the account, I was able to obtain Zhou Zilong's UBS account.

After the account is opened, we hand over 4,000 ounces of gold to the bank counter for inspection and storage at the counter where the gold spot is stored.

Soon, our iron box was emptied, and I had 4,000 ounces of gold stored in my bank account!

We followed Sister Avon to the electronic display screen that was showing the gold trading tick chart!

Sister Avon told us how to look at the trend chart, transaction quotation, transaction price, trading volume and other indicators of the significance and trading guidance.

Sister Avon said: "Ah Cai! Now you can see the chart and trade it yourself! Remember! As long as the price exceeds $145 / ounce, the price line rushes up! You immediately fill in the "Trading Order" at the trading desk at or above this price, place a trading order, and sell the gold in your account! Then, you go and withdraw the cash or deposit it for a fixed term! I'm going to meet a client with my father, and you're trading here yourself! ”

After Sister Avon finished speaking, she hurried away.

After Avon left, we began to look at the electronic screen seriously.

At more than 10 o'clock in the morning, the electronic screen showed that the trading volume was increasing, and the gold price broke through the price line of $145 / ounce and $165 / ounce! There is a straight upward trend!

I immediately placed an order at the gold spot trading desk, filled in the "Trading Order" at a price of $250 per ounce, and sold 4,000 ounces of gold in my account!

After placing an order on the trading desk, when I returned to the screen, I saw a 4,000 oz sold at $250 per ounce!

At this point, I kept hearing other customers shouting, "OH MY GOD!" GO MAD!” (Oh, oh my!) Lose your marbles! )!

Soon, after the price broke through the $250 / oz price line, the price of gold began to plummet at the $260 / oz level!

At this time, the three of us also jumped and cheered!

Because, all 4,000 ounces of gold we have sold!

I have an incredibly valuable $1 million in my bank account!

We withdrew $10,000 in cash over the bank counter.

After I loaded the cash on my body, we went to return the cart and threw the iron box into the sea.

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Ah Cai! It was that fool who bought our gold! ”

I said, "I don't know! However, it must be someone who thinks that the price of gold will go up! ”

Xiaoming smiled and said, "Ah Cai! Now, are we rich? ”

I said, "I'm rich!" However, not very rich! I've just observed that some of our clients have a single transaction volume of more than $1 million! Our little money isn't enough for them to play a trade! ”

Xiaoming said: "Ah Cai! In the future, we can't play with futures and securities! Ahh You have to make sure that Xiaoda and I have a place to live and eat! This is the responsibility of the team leader! Do you understand? ”

Everyone laughed!

Xiaoda said, "Xiaoming! We made a lot of money buying gold this time, so don't tell anyone else! Otherwise, they will say that we have robbed our money! ”

Xiaoming said: "I know! I'm not stupid! Let these people who pretend to be Lao Tzu go and wait for the sky to drop pies for them! ”

Really, we've never been so excited!

Because, we know that we have made a fortune, and we are not short of money for the time being!

After returning to the room, Xiaoda and I went to visit Ye Hailong and Du Wenwu and other wounded, alas, they began to have a low-grade fever again!

I handed Liu Fang $2,000 and asked them to take the wounded to the hospital on board in two wheelchairs for treatment.

Xiaoda and I went back to the room to have coffee and chat with Xiaoming.

Xiaoming said: "Alas! What a hassle with two wounded! When you arrive in Port City, you must quickly contact the headquarters to pick them up! Otherwise, in the future, it will be too inconvenient for us to act! ”

Xiaoda said, "Yes! These two people are the treasures of the headquarters! If something goes wrong, Ah Cai is finished! ”

I said, "Alas! It's not that serious! They weren't hurt by us! Combat casualties are normal! ”

At noon, the three of us were having lunch in the cafeteria when we met Sister Avon and her parents.

Sister Avon invited the three of us to have lunch with them, and we chatted while eating.

Sister Avon smiled and said, "Ah Cai! I've heard that you had a great deal in the morning! Sold gold at the highest price of $250 per ounce! ”

I said, "Yes! Thank you Sister Avon for your guidance! We're in luck! ”

Sister Avon smiled and said, "Alas! I didn't ask you to place an order at $250 an ounce! It can only be said that you are bold and judge correctly! ”

Professor Zeng said: "Ah Cai! You're a trading genius! Your talent is good! If you strengthen your study and master professional skills, you will definitely make great achievements in the future! At 2 p.m., in the conference hall on board, I had a presentation on financial trends! I invite all three of you to attend! ”

I said, "Professor Zeng! Thank you very much for having me! You must participate! ”

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the three of us arrived at the lecture hall where Professor Zeng gave a lecture on time.

When we arrived at the lecture hall, it was almost full, and we could only find a vacant seat in the corner to listen to the lecture.

Most of the attendees were Westerners, with only a few Chinese and Asians.

The conference was hosted by the Global Monetary and Financial Exchange under the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Government, and Professor Tsang, as the chief advisor of the Financial Exchange, was the keynote speaker of the conference.

The host introduced many titles to Professor Zeng, including a doctor of finance, a professor of the Department of Finance of a university, the chief economist of monetary and financial exchanges, etc., we feel that Professor Zeng is not an ordinary person!

Dr. Zeng said that after the decoupling of the US dollar from gold, the US dollar entered a new era of free issuance!

Because the U.S. dollar is the mainstream currency for global trade and settlement between currencies, its impact on the world's currencies is very far-reaching. The world has entered an era of great depreciation of paper money. Gold, as an ancient metal currency, has been withdrawn from the world monetary system.

However, due to factors such as the scarcity of gold and the relative stability of the total amount, precious metals such as gold have become the main basis for global currencies. Gold is also a very good commodity, so the price of gold will show a long-term upward trend.

The prices of other commodities such as oil, grain and agricultural products, industrial minerals, land, as well as industrial goods and labor will also rise in the form of gold. Therefore, in order to preserve and increase the value of wealth.

Wealthy ladies and gentlemen must invest in commodities such as gold in order to gain long-term wealth growth and short-term trading profits.

Dr. Tsang cites a lot of data, examples, and stories to illustrate his point.

In short, he spoke very professionally and very well, and he spoke on the microphone for more than two hours, and I seemed to understand it.

However, Xiao Da and Xiao Ming were already asleep in their positions, and they were still snoring intermittently!

It was only after Professor Zeng's speech that I woke them up.

After the presentation, we went to the podium to congratulate Dr. Zeng and Sister Avon on their successful speeches!

Xiaoda smiled and said, "Teacher Zeng! Your presentation was wonderful! When we have money in the future, we will definitely buy your gold! How good gold is! ”

Sister Avon smiled and said, "Xiaoda! Enough is enough! There are so many things you can listen to when you fall asleep! I watched it, and Ah Cai was listening carefully alone! ”

Everyone laughed!

Then, Avon gave us a few copies of his father's speech.

Professor Tsang said to us, "Alas, young people must learn more! Port City is a highly competitive society! Earn money and live a good life! It's really not easy! From now on, you will all be my students! I will teach you to the best of my ability! ”

Indeed, Professor Zeng is a very objective scholar, and I can't fully understand his speech!

However, I realized that the whole world is playing with paper money, and gold, commodities of the real economy, etc., as well as human needs and desires, etc., are the only criteria for the pricing of money!

......

During the day on May 7th, we were resting or sorting out our luggage and belongings, and after the treatment of our two wounded people, our condition was stabilized, and the other members of the team were effectively recovered through the rest on the boat!

At around 12 o'clock in the evening on May 7, we were woken up by the radio and our cruise ship was ready to dock at the passenger terminal of Victoria Harbour in Port City!

The nine of us left the room with our papers, weapons, luggage, and belongings.

We arrived on the deck, followed by the passengers of the black press, lined up to get off the ship!
