Late April.

Lin Zhichao came to the office of the General Manager of the Bank of East Asia and was warmly received by Jian Dongpu.

He is the biggest 'debt king' of BEA, but he has a good reputation and high-quality assets, so BEA is very willing to cooperate with him.

This time, Lin Zhichao wanted to propose a new loan again.

"The speed with which the Bank of East Asia recovered after the war is truly admirable, and Mr. Jian can be regarded as a great contribution."

Jian Dongpu personally made tea for Lin Zhichao to show his value, and said with a smile: "You praise the Bank of East Asia for no reason, and praise me, do you have any new loan plan?" ”

Lin Zhichao gently took the teacup, then let go and said:

"Sure enough, I can't escape the eyes of Elder Jian! In this case, Changjiang Yinhao, a subsidiary of Changjiang Real Estate, plans to mortgage 500,000 Hong Kong dollars worth of gold to the Bank of East Asia and borrow another 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”

Jian Dongpu smiled unhurriedly and said, "How can there be a reason for the original price mortgage?" What's more, since Changjiang Silver is a subsidiary of Changjiang Real Estate, and you Changjiang Real Estate owes a lot of debts to the Bank of East Asia. I'm afraid it's hard for me to give you a loan until your Ferry Street project is sold! ”

He deliberately 'made things difficult' for Lin Zhichao to see what this young man had to say, and he should relieve his boredom.

When Lin Zhichao saw Jian Dongpu's expression, he knew that this matter had been done, but it was just that others needed some reason.

"It's still the same sentence! The two strong compete with each other, and the fight is so big that it will not end in a while and a half, and the rich are coming to Hong Kong. In the same way, gold is bound to rise, and now that the currency of the Republic of China has collapsed, sooner or later credit will collapse, and gold in the mainland will certainly rise sharply, and the war will certainly make people compete to buy 'walkable assets', and Hong Kong's gold will still skyrocket. ”

"Therefore, I pledged 500,000 Hong Kong dollars of gold to the Bank of East Asia, even if its value falls to 400,000 Hong Kong dollars, I am willing to repay it early."

Jian Dongpu immediately said: "Many people understand these truths, but only if you say it, you are not only full of confidence, but also make those who listen full of confidence." ”

Lin Zhichao thought to himself, could this be one of his own personality charms - will he flicker?

"Jian Lao can also invest in some gold and make sure you don't lose money!"

Jian Dongpu was a little moved, but said cautiously: "The key is that people are greedy, I buy more than 300 taels now, and I am reluctant to sell it if it rises to 500 taels or not, and finally it falls below 300 taels, which is often the way I lose." ”

Lin Zhichao said directly: "This is not simple, when the soldiers enter Yangcheng one day, it will be the time to sell, why bother!" ”

Anyway, he can't make much money in gold, after all, he has no capital, so it's not a problem to bring someone to get rich. What's more, Jian Dongpu's son Jian Yueqiang has a long career in the future, and it is worth him to befriend the Jian family.

Jian Dongpu was suddenly shocked and said: "You are saying that the entry of soldiers into Yangcheng will cause panic in Hong Kong, and gold will skyrocket." I can take the opportunity to sell gold, because Hong Kong is a bridge to the West, and it will not change the status quo, so everything will be calm, and the price of gold will slowly fall back. ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Anyway, that's how I understand it, Yangcheng is gone, the Jiang family will naturally fail, and the mainland will naturally be peaceful." ”

Jian Dongpu blurted out: "You are so optimistic....?" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I also analyzed the scale of mainland businessmen coming to Hong Kong, so it's just a gamble, and the winning cards are big." ”

Jian Dongpu nodded and didn't continue the discussion, because Lin Zhichao didn't dare to say it'.

In the end, Lin Zhichao got a loan of 500,000 yuan as he wished. He planned to hand over the funds to Lee Shau Kee to speculate in gold, and he would occasionally supervise them and remind Lee Shau Kee not to leverage. You can already make more money by doing short-term, so why bother to deleverage?

There are many opportunities to make money, so there is no need to take too many risks.

At the same time, Lin Zhichao will hardly be directly involved in gold speculation because he has no energy.

........

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Lee Shau Kee came to the Yangtze River Silver Horn, along with several colleagues: 'gold traders' Ah Shan and Ah Jin, and 'financial and assistant' Ah Hao.

As for the other four colleagues, they are the staff of the sales department on the first floor, and they only need to go to work at half past seven every day.

"Let's summarize the information, analyze the buying points, and tell them all about what you find, after all, we are a team." Lee Shau Kee quoted the boss's 'team' and said modestly.

This team has already received 500,000 Hong Kong dollars of 'gold speculation funds' (a large part of which is paid to the gold and silver exchange as a margin), and now it has officially intervened in gold speculation, and everyone has a different proportion of the bonus, so everyone must go all out.

Ah Shan is a very clever person, and said: "Yesterday afternoon, Hang Seng Silver and several Chaozhou Silver Accounts bought a lot of ....... when the market was about to close."

Ah Jin also immediately said: "I also noticed that the number of phone calls answered by these two groups suddenly increased......."

Because the boss told everyone that the gold and silver trading field is divided into black and white chess players - Guangdong and Shanghai, and Guangdong looks at Chaozhi and Hengsheng, so keeping an eye on these two groups of people is a task for the two people in the field.

Lee Shau Kee wrote useful information on the paper, and he also said: "Well, it seems that today may be a buying opportunity, and they are pulling up the price of gold." ”

Lee Shau Kee thought in his heart: "The information I got from my brother and Uncle Shi is that Aomen has imported a lot of gold and will be smuggled into Hong Kong for cash. ”

In this way, it can be inferred that the gold price of the gold and silver exchange will be pulled up by a wave, and then a large amount of cash will be cashed out.

As for the boss's statement that gold in the mainland will rise sharply in the future, but it is only a general environment, this information is of course also very useful, because after the fall, there is another opportunity to buy.

"Okay, you guys will start later, observe the scene, report to me as soon as possible the dynamics of Hang Seng Silver and Chao Gold Merchants, and remember, call me as soon as there is any movement."

"Okay, Shopkeeper Li."

After the meeting, everyone went to their respective posts.

The phone upstairs was guarded by the financial and operator 'Ah Hao' at all times, while Lee Shau Kee went downstairs to check the business of the store and prepare to open.

"Shopkeeper Lee"

"Well, good morning, everyone."

Lee Shau Kee is a humble but confident person, and he is very respected. What's more, everyone knows that the boss trusts the shopkeeper Li very much, and almost occasionally visits the Yangtze River Silver to inspect the business.

"Business has been good lately! Although we are not the old signboard of this industry, many people choose to trust a large company like us by virtue of the fame of Changjiang Real Estate and Changjiang Industrial. So, everyone works hard, and I listen to the boss that you also get a share of the bonus, and the better the business, the more you earn. ”

Three tellers and one runner suddenly had high morale and worked hard.

Lee Shau-kee went out for a walk again, inquired about some information on Bonham East Street, and even went to Uncle Shi's shop and chatted a few words.

After doing this, he returned to the Yangtze River Silver Horn.

"Shopkeeper Li, Ah Shan called just now......"

Lee Shau Kee nodded, not in a hurry.

Subsequently, he dialed the phone number of the gold and silver exchange house, and after asking about the prices of the last few transactions, he began to say: "Okay, when someone will sell, I will start grabbing orders and contacting by phone." ”

........

Gold and silver trading grounds.

In the middle of the patio, a gold trader's hand was bent outwards (the hand could be turned), and Ah Shan was already ready to rush forward with an arrow. After feeling that he had been slapped twice, he quickly retreated satisfied.

In just a few seconds, he had already grabbed two lots (200 taels) of gold at a price of 331.5 Hong Kong dollars per tael.

After buying it, Ah Jin, who was in charge of answering the phone over there, quickly dialed the phone, reported the situation to the Yangtze River Yinhao, and got new instructions.

"Keep buying!"

Receiving the order, Ah Shan squeezed into the crowd again.

Although he didn't grab it later, he grabbed two more hands at a price of 331.7 Hong Kong dollars per tael.

Throughout the morning, Ah Shan frequently made his moves, eating 18 lots of gold, with an average price of 332.5 Hong Kong dollars per tael, and a total price of 598,500 Hong Kong dollars.

The price of gold also rose from HK$331 in the morning to HK$333.8, a premium of HK$2.8 per tael.

Before the market closed at noon, everyone went to the settlement department to register the morning transaction.

On the way, there was naturally a lot of discussion.

"The Yangtze River Silver is very powerful this morning, and it has eaten five or six hundred thousand gold, right?"

"Well, are you planning to come to the trading house to sell gold?"

This information was also fed back to their boss in a timely manner, and for a time the Yangtze River Silver became a small focus of the market.

Liao Baoshan was in the office, muttering to herself: "It's a good time to buy!" ”

He learned through the connection to the Teochew telegraph station that a number of gold smuggling ships will arrive in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow, so it indicates that gold will rise sharply in recent days, and then fall sharply.

Through this kind of radio information, he can intervene in advance and sell it at a high price.
