Brad obviously didn't expect his boss to ask for his opinion on such an issue, and responded with a wry smile: "Sir, investment is a very complex and dangerous business practice, especially more than a billion dollars, you must do the corresponding market and market research in advance, and then ask professional analysts to make predictions, it is not a job that can be completed by one or two people at all." ”

"Relax, I'm not asking you to specify a series of detailed plans, and I don't need you to take any responsibility, just recommend a direction, and I'll figure out the rest myself. Lu Li waved his hand and comforted.

The reason why he is so urgent is not mainly for the billions of dollars on the surface, but for the tens of billions of dollars obtained from the sale of rhenium alloy last time.

You must know that this money is not visible, and before taking over the national power of Venezuela and having a safe place to invest, it is necessary to find a safe haven for it, otherwise the money will never flow, and the banking system will sooner or later find out that there is a problem with those shell companies registered under false names.

"Well, since you insist on ......"

Brad had a helpless look on his face.

"First of all. I recommend buying as many JPMorgan Chase shares as possible, and I expect it to be one of the most profitable stocks in the next six months.

Secondly, according to the current economic situation in the United States, no matter which of the two presidential candidates comes to power, the price of gold will inevitably rise.

The reason is very simple, one of them intends to continue to maintain a loose monetary policy, which will cause the bubble in real estate and the stock market to grow bigger and bigger, but the market and the real economy are shrinking, which will eventually lead to an economic crisis in the United States and even the world.

The other intends to re-stimulate the real economy of the United States by reducing corporate taxes and increasing investment in infrastructure.

But this requires a lot of start-up capital, and the U.S. government does not have huge national assets like the Chinese government, and the only way to do this is to increase the national debt, which in turn means that the Federal Reserve needs to issue trillions of dollars in additional currency, and inflation is inevitable.

Since inflation is inevitable no matter which candidate becomes president, it is natural for capital to choose the least risky investments, such as precious metals, in order to avoid risks.

Gold happens to be the most valuable of the precious metals, so it is naturally the best investment direction at present.

As for the last one, you don't need to ask to know that it must be U.S. Treasury bonds, although the yield is not high, but it is better than the huge amount, and it is still good to use it as a hedging investment. ”

There is no doubt that Brad's advice is quite conservative, and while it cannot be said to be risk-free, it is not far off.

This kind of investment method is exactly what Lu Li wants, so he hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "Now I will give you a task, withdraw one billion dollars from the company's account, give priority to buying shares of JPMorgan Chase Bank in the stock market, make a smaller move, do not cause stock price turmoil, and buy gold futures for the rest." ”

"I'm in charge?" Brad was visibly taken aback.

After all, his position is the chief operating officer, and his main responsibilities are to designate the long-term planning of the enterprise, supervise the managers and supervisors of subordinate departments to complete their own work, coordinate daily operations, and summarize the company's operating system, which is 108,000 miles into the financial system.

What's more, most companies in order to prevent the top management from enriching themselves, will completely isolate finance, a person in charge of both operations and finance, theoretically in developed countries in Europe and the United States is absolutely impossible, unless he is the boss of the company.

Lu Li was undoubtedly very aware of this, and explained with a smile: "That's right, it's you." I believe you should know that the company does not have a financial department for the time being, so you can work more and invest the excess cash on the company's books to preserve its value. Don't worry, it won't last long. ”

"Well, who made you the boss. Brad smiled wryly and spread his hands, then turned and walked out of the office.

Before taking action, he has to conduct a simple investigation, otherwise even if he is a conservative investment, he may be bitten hard by those financial capital predators.

As soon as Brad walked on the front foot, Rachel quipped, "You are so generous enough that you offered a minimum annual salary of six million dollars without even blinking an eye." Tell me, you're going to give me a small salary?"

"Hehe, how much do you want?" Lu Li asked rhetorically, curling the corners of his mouth.

He knew very well that the other party didn't really want a high salary, because the villa on Furong Island alone started at 10 million US dollars, plus luxury cars, private yachts and helicopters, the net worth of the old woman in front of him was definitely more than one billion US dollars, and there was no shortage of money at all, plus there were no relatives, it was useless to ask for so much money.

Rachel pretended to think about it for a few minutes, and quickly replied, "How about naming a new cosmetics brand after me?"

"New cosmetics brand?" Lu Li showed a hint of surprise on his face, he didn't expect the other party to make such a request.

"Yes, I just asked two doctors, and they said that the snake oil works better than any skincare product on the market, and has almost no side effects, and if we use it as an ingredient, we can create a new high-end cosmetics brand, and with the kind of eggs that can make women younger, it will definitely make a difference." Rachel offered ambitiously.

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, I agree with your idea in principle." However, whether it is artificial synthesis or cloning, it takes a certain amount of research and development time, so isn't it a bit too early to prepare?"

"Not early! Some things are better the sooner you start preparing, not to mention Dr. Blanche's promise that in three months at most, he will be able to come up with a full-fledged synthetic technology that will definitely cost no more than $3,000 per kilogram. ”

Rachel seemed a little excited or emotional when she said this.

For an old woman like her, who stepped into a coffin with half a foot, there is nothing more seductive than following the example of Gabriel Coco Chanel and creating a legendary brand where her name will forever be a woman's deepest desire.

"In that case, then I will ask the finance department to allocate 20 million to you to register a cosmetics company under Alibi Biotechnology Company, named after you, if you need anything in the future, you can go directly to Jonathan, he is the person I trust the most. As he spoke, Lu Li pointed to the middle-aged fat man sitting on the chair.

The latter immediately smiled and nodded: "Madam, if you need anything, please feel free to ask." ”

"Thank you, I'll open up if I need to. In addition, I have a date at noon, so I'll miss it today, goodbye. Rachel ruffled her hair, blinked her eyes in a playful manner, and walked out of the office with graceful steps......
