Chapter 55: A Trip to the United States V
readx;? Looking at Pete's figure leaving in a hurry, Wang Haitao showed a smile on his face. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoWang Haitao knows what it means in this era when two tons of pure gold is more than two million US dollars, after all, the annual salary of an ordinary worker is only more than 1,000 to 2,000 US dollars. Therefore, Wang Haitao is very sure that the JPMorgan Group will not easily let himself put so much gold into other groups.
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, Pete was back in the VIP room. After Pete sat down, he said to Wang Haitao: "Mr. Wang, the amount of gold you have is huge, and the headquarters has decided to buy all the gold in your hand at a price higher than the general price, at 37 US dollars per ounce. If you have other requirements, you can also put them together, and our headquarters will try to meet your requirements. ā
Wang Haitao smiled and said: "Mr. Pitt, I have only one purpose for coming to the United States this time, which is to buy a steel mill here in New York, and my factory in China needs the products of this steel mill as raw materials. I know that you have the largest steel company in the United States, so can you transfer more than 51 percent of the shares of a steel mill to me?"
Pete listened to Wang Haitao's request, thought for a while, and said: "Mr. Wang, you must know that our Morgan Group is now acquiring a large number of steel companies in the United States, and I can only report to the above and then reply to you." Please wait here a little longer, and I'll report back to Headquarters now. After Wang Haitao promised to wait for a reply, Pete left the VIP room again.
This time, after Wang Haitao waited for nearly two hours, Pete returned to the VIP room. After sitting down, Pete said, "Mr. Wang, the headquarters gave me a reply. It is not possible for our group to transfer our steel companies to you, but we can supply you with all the metal materials you need at the lowest price. Wang Haitao showed a disappointed expression and said: "It's a pity that your Morgan Company rejected my request, what I need is a fully controlled steel company, not metal products." ā
At this time, Pete saw that Wang Haitao had the intention of leaving, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Wang, please wait a minute." Headquarters has one more comment that I can convey to you. Now we at the Morgan Group are preparing to acquire a medium-sized steel mill in New York because the mill already owes us a $1.6 million loan from J.P. Morgan Bank. If you sell this gold to Morgan Bank, then this steel mill will be handed over to you to buy. What do you think?"
This condition is fully acceptable to Wang Haitao, so Wang Haitao said: "I completely agree with this. However, if your company can supply me with metal materials at a relatively favorable price, I am willing to pay another ton of gold as a deposit to sign a long-term supply contract with your Morgan company. Wang Haitao's words surprised Pete again, so Pete left the VIP room for the third time.
This time, it only took half an hour for Pete to return to the VIP room. At this time, Pete said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Wang, the headquarters has fully accepted your request, as long as our Morgan Bank accepts your three tons of gold, then a long-term supply contract that is 15 percent lower than the market price, and all the information of the steel plant you want to buy, will be handed over to you immediately, when can our bank accept your three tons of gold?"
Wang Haitao was also very happy that his goal was about to be completed at this time, so he said that you can come tomorrow, my residence to withdraw my gold, and then I will come here with the car to go through the relevant procedures. Pete also said happily, "That's great, Mr. Wang." Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock I will personally bring someone to visit. Now I will accompany you to the counter to pick up the US dollars for your sample gold. ā
After Wang Haitao and Pete came to the counter, they received the $371.75 exchanged for a gold bar, and then said goodbye to Pete.
Wang Haitao, who returned to his residence, went out to buy 20 cartons, and then took out three tons of gold from the storage ring and put them into 20 cartons. After everything was ready, Wang Haitao waited at home for Pete to bring someone to the door.
At 8:50 a.m. the next day, a convoy was driven by a police car, and a convoy came from the far street. At this time, the convoy stopped in front of Wang Haitao's house, and dozens of heavily armed policemen and escorts came down from the car.
At nine o'clock, Wang Haitao's door was knocked, and after Wang Haitao opened the door, Pete and two bodyguards stood at the door. After Pete and Wang Haitao greeted each other, they directly asked where Wang Haitao's gold was. Wang Haitao smiled and led Pete to the guest room, pointed to the twenty cardboard boxes and said, "Three tons of gold, all in these twenty cardboard boxes." ā
Pete hurriedly asked his subordinates to notify the escort personnel to come in, and after the escort personnel came in with special boxes, they began to pack them according to the weight of about 200 kilograms per box, and then Pete personally sealed each box, and then the escort personnel sent it to the car. After all the three tons of gold were packed, Pi invited Wang Haitao to join him, and the convoy drove back to the Morgan Building.
After arriving at the building, Pete invited Wang Haitao to come to the examination room together, and then the escort personnel carried all the fifteen boxes containing gold, and Pete checked whether the lead seals were intact one by one in front of Wang Haitao, and then the escort personnel carried them into the inspection room. Then Pete invited Wang Haitao to the VIP room to wait for the test results.
This time it was a long time, probably more than three hours of waiting, before the staff sent Pete a stack of inspection reports. Pete carefully read all the inspection reports and said with a happy face: "Mr. Wang, the inspection results have come out, the fineness of your batch of gold is all 991.0, and the weight is 3,000 kilograms, 3 million grams, or 96,450 ounces. Do you agree with this number?"
Wang Haitao nodded in approval. Pete said, "Mr. Wang, according to our agreement, 1,000 kilograms of gold is 32,150 ounces of gold, which is equivalent to 1,189,550 US dollars, as a deposit. At a price of 15 percent below the current market price, we have signed a supply contract with you for a period of 20 years, which will be deducted from it according to the quantity supplied, and the contract will be automatically terminated if the balance in the account is less than $10,000 or is not enough to pay for the goods once. Do you agree to do that?"
Wang Haitao nodded in agreement. Pitt said: "Then the remaining 2,000 kilograms of gold, that is, 64,300 ounces of gold, equivalent to 2,379,100 US dollars, will be opened by my Morgan Bank for you to open a VIP customer account in our bank, and prepare a cash check for you, and also provide you with a financial guarantee below the account balance, do you think it is okay?"
Wang Haitao still nodded in agreement. Pete was even happier and said: "Great, Mr. Wang, thank you for your trust in our Morgan company, I will ask my subordinates to prepare the relevant contracts and procedures as soon as possible, and prepare all the information you need for the steel plant." Now that I personally invite you to lunch, I think that by the time we get back, everything should be ready. ā
