Chapter 298 [Buying U.S. Stocks]

Manhattan Apartments, New York.

Lin Zhichao sat in the spacious office, contented. This is one of his two residences in New York, a high-rise duplex apartment in Central Garden, which has been purposefully carved out for a private office to enjoy working from home.

A large desk was in front of Lin Zhichao, with only a pen, a notebook and a phone on it, while Lin Zhichao sat on a leather seat and could twist his body at will.

In the office, there is a large bookcase with some books and some antique porcelain from China; The whole office is covered with imported Persian carpets, which is very warm, which is different from the formal office.

The most different thing is that there are two beautiful women in office OL costumes in the room - Xu Caiying and Audrey, which are very imaginative.

Audrey Hepburn held a newspaper in her hand, wore a hip-wrapping skirt and a white village shirt, stepped on high heels, walked swayingly, and slowly came to Lin Zhichao's desk, and then bent down on it, gently pursing her red lips.

She handed the newspaper to Lin Zhichao and said: "Last night (10.22), Kennedy made a radio speech to the United States and the world, informing the Soviet Union of the fact of deploying nuclear missiles in Cuba, announcing an armed blockade of Cuba, and demanding that the Soviet Union withdraw its offensive weapons already deployed in Cuba under the supervision of the United Nations. So, isn't it right for the U.S. stock market to start a plunge today? ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "You make a phone call and ask to know the situation of today's opening?" ”

Audrey Hepburn immediately called her investment company and began to inquire about the market.

On the other side, Xu Caiying is dressed similarly, but the hip skirt is replaced by black women's trousers, and her slender figure is not suppressed at all, but more prominent. She also came to Lin Zhichao's desk, and then sat directly on it.

Lin Zhichao sat up straight from the office chair and leaned forward, picking up Xu Caiying's trousers, a pair of black silk long legs had already emerged, which was full of temptation.

Today is destined to be a role-playing day, and he has to calm down, after all, business matters, and making money is important.

"Is it pretty?" The corners of Xu Caiying's mouth showed a 'bad smile', and then she fell down on her stomach.

It's majestic!

Among the three women, she has the best figure and the most beautiful face, and she is indeed a proper 'vase'.

"Beautiful! But come back later! ”

Lin Zhichao retracted his gaze, then leaned back on the leather chair, and raised his feet cross-legged to the desk, enjoying the pleasure of the money empire.

Audrey Hepburn hung up the phone and said: "The stock market has plummeted, the S&P 500 has fallen by almost 2 points, a 25% decline from the beginning of the year!" ”

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "In this way, this week's index decline can probably reach 28%~30%, which is about the end of June." In fact, June is also an opportunity to buy the bottom. ”

Audrey Hepburn said: "If you copy the bottom at that time, you won't be in such a relaxed mood at this time. Hee-hee, of course it's me, you're always confident! Seeing Lin Zhichao's eyes sweeping over, she immediately changed her words, not daring to challenge the authority at all.

"Give me a button!"

After Lin Zhichao finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and soon his thighs and shoulders were pinched by two pairs of jade hands, and the faint femininity stimulated people's taste buds.

Comfortable!

Then, he said decisively: "This Thursday, I will start to buy the bottom and enter the market, and strive to buy all of them in 2 weeks, which is equivalent to your investment company, which will buy about 8 million US dollars a day." ”

Audrey Hepburn is the chairman of the board of directors of a U.S. listed company and a white British-American citizen, so there is no need to worry too much. Faster, although IBM's market value this year is close to halving, with a market value of less than $30 billion, it is still a giant; It is only 80 million US dollars, accounting for only 0.27% of the market value, and it is another ten days to buy, which is stable enough.

Moreover, Audrey Investment has several accounts and is more decentralized.

"Wouldn't it be too risky, what if World War III breaks out?" As an American, she knew the gravity of the situation.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "What are you afraid of when you fight, when the time comes, let's change places and continue to enjoy life!" With that, the big hand reached back and placed it on her thigh.

Of course, Audrey's legs are not perfect, after all, she has practiced ballet before and is petite; On the contrary, Xu Caiying's long legs are a must, and she belongs to a perfect woman.

Xu Caiying said at this time: "Just look at his expression, you can know that this third world war can't be fought, and his analysis of the situation in this regard is very accurate." Don't worry, Audrey! ”

In this era, the fear of the Soviet Union among Europeans and Americans is still very great.

Audrey Hepburn smiled and said, "Makes sense! ”

At this time, Lin Zhichao was also thinking, is his layout accurate or not?

Logically speaking, the Cuban crisis could not have dragged on for long, because the American navy had almost collapsed, and as long as the Soviet Union returned the ships carrying weapons, it would represent a compromise on behalf of the Soviet Union.

Therefore, it is very reasonable to have a week to deal with it.

At this time, IBM's stock was less than $350, compared with $733 at the beginning of the year, and it was directly cut in half. If so, by 1968, I am afraid that it will appreciate more than 6 times, and 80 million will become 500 million US dollars.

It's horrible!

On the other hand, the Yangtze River Fund invested 40 million, and I am afraid it can also become 200 million US dollars!

After all, Texas Instruments, Pan Am, Delta, Coca-Cola and other stocks are all blue-chip stocks, and there are dividends every year.

"Audrey, Ruidong and Ruinan have to cultivate their awareness of making money since they were young, and they can become qualified businessmen when they grow up." Lin Zhichao said suddenly.

It turned out that he felt that Audrey's wealth was growing so fast that when his two sons grew up, they could buy well-known companies in the United States, and they didn't need to start a business from scratch at all, but directly through acquisitions.

"What if a child's dream is to be a scientist or a politician?" Audrey Hepburn preached.

"No, my sons and daughters are only businessmen, and as for scientists or something, that's a matter for grandchildren. What's more, the child is small and can be guided. Lin Zhichao said firmly.

"They listen to you!" Audrey Hepburn said with a smile.

"Well, I'll guide them when we meet later." Lin Zhichao preached.

THEN, LIN ZHICHAO OPENED HIS EYES AND SAID, "GO POUR SOME RED WINE AND MAKE SOME FRUIT SNACKS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY!" ”

He has spent more than a week on vacation in the United States.

Yes, Lin Zhichao also has two vacations every year, of course, this so-called vacation is just not to socialize, official business, etc., but every morning through the phone, listen to the heads of several companies or Tang Caiyun stationed in Hong Kong report.

"Yes, sir!"

The two girls smiled and went to prepare everything, needless to say today, it was destined to be a big weather.

"Boss, the wine and snacks are ready!"

Soon, the role-playing begins!

"Well, today we're going to celebrate, the company made a billion dollars in the stock market, so let's enjoy it!"

Lin Zhichao stood up, raised his red wine glass with the two women, and then drank it.

Next, the show unfolds – a brilliant fight scene in the office.

Desks, sofas, windows, it's all sitcoms.

Friday, in the office building of the Yangtze River Fund.

In the afternoon, after the stock market closed, Chris came to Lin Zhichao's office.

In the past two days, Lin Zhichao will come here to sit and personally supervise the bottom copying. The stocks bought are five, and the time is also two weeks, that is, the funds have to buy 4 million every day, but the stocks purchased are scattered.

Coupled with Audrey's investment, it is equivalent to buying 12 million a day. However, the daily trading volume of the U.S. stock market is about 10 million shares, and U.S. stocks are generally high-priced stocks, so the trading volume is in the range of 7~1 billion US dollars.

The trading volume in one day is much more than that of the Hong Kong stock market in a year. After all, Hong Kong's financial city has yet to emerge.

"Boss, here are the details of today's transaction, everything is very smooth to buy!" Chris took out a note and handed it to Lin Zhichao.

He didn't dare to underestimate this boss, he checked the accounts in detail, and he couldn't afford a mistake of $1.

But this is not a slamming door, but an attitude towards work; On the contrary, his boss did not pick the door at all, and the salary of the entire company last year was not lost to those financial companies on Wall Street.

Lin Zhichao's results are detailed, and he plans to read and review them today to make sure there are no problems. For someone else it may be an hour or two of effort, for him, thirty minutes is enough.

"By the way, I injected another $2 million, and I plan to play with your investment team, so you can watch it later! If the benefits are better than my investment plan, I will give you dividends. ”

Chris was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Okay, thank you BOSS for your trust in everyone!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "What I trust you is loyalty, not necessarily your investment level." I invest in blue chip stocks, and I don't trade for a long time, and I sell a fixed dividend every year. And your investment plan may not be willing to refer to mine, and in the end we can come and see who has a high level of investment! ”

Chris said: "Actually, we are still investing, and we are still thanks to the boss, who gave us the best opportunity. ”

Lin Zhichao leaned back in his seat and said: "I don't know if it's the best time, but we can know this weekend to see if the situation can develop according to the statement issued by the United States and the Soviet Union." If the Soviet Union shows weakness, it will naturally return to the same path, and then the US stock market may recover quickly, and it will be able to regain a lot of ground by the end of the year, which is what I believe. ”

Chris nodded and said, "The boss's analysis is very reasonable!" At the same time, many people are analyzing the United States in the sixties, and all economic indicators were very good, and the sharp decline in the first half of this year surprised everyone. But if this event subsides, I believe there will be a bull market for a long time. ”

With a bit of vision, this wave of bull market did last for more than five years, and it was not until May 1968 that Buffett retired.

It will definitely not be wrong to follow Warren Buffett to speculate in stocks!

In June 1967, when the Suez Canal was closed, it would actually adjust a wave, and you could sell high and buy some of the funds until the spring of 1968.

"Well, if you have faith! I'm happy to give you a bonus! ”

"Thank you Boss"

Chris is very satisfied with following such a Chinese boss because he is too rich. However, he also understands that Lin Zhichao is good at being rich and generous, but he is very proficient in finance, and pays attention to the safety of funds, and has set up a three-in-one regulatory system of finance, accounting, and law.

Therefore, he did not dare to underestimate the shrewdness of the boss.

And I don't know what's going on, the longer I follow this boss, the more he feels that he has to remain loyal to the boss, which is probably the charm of personality!

When Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong, it was already early November.

In the villa at No. 79 Deep Water Bay, Lin Zhichao was lying on the bed and chatting with Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying beside him. Just now, he fed Tang Caiyun, who had been empty for more than 20 days, and at this time, she was leaning softly in Lin Zhichao's arms.

"I kind of know, why Caiying, this girl, doesn't care about the company's affairs, it's because of this that she can follow her husband every day!" Between the words, there was a hint of complaint.

Indeed, every time Lin Zhi is on a bad trip, if he can take a woman, almost all of them are Xu Caiying.

Because only Tang Caiyun is in Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao is enough to rest assured. She did things in the style of an ancient lady, steady, methodical, and even majestic enough to make those subordinates submit.

On the contrary, Xu Caiying went to report on global shipping, she didn't understand professional things, and she didn't want to learn, and over time, her subordinates also regarded him as an ornament; After all, you don't understand, I'll report to you, is it useful?

Xu Caiying hurriedly flattered and said: "Sister, good sister, you don't know, I'm not a businessman." My husband also handed over the affairs of Hong Kong to you because you can do it and are trustworthy! Also, I went to New York this time, but as my own mother, I spent a weekend with Ruihuan, that kid is very adaptable, and after a few months, I feel that I have made great progress in all aspects, and he has more Lao Tzu's style. ”

It's okay to talk about it in the front, and after talking about it later, it also aroused Tang Caiyun's mother's love. The eldest son has been in the United States for almost three months, and she really misses her for so little.

Moreover, I don't know when I will see it, and there is a high probability that Lin Ruihuan will not return to Hong Kong during this year's winter vacation.

Lin Zhichao didn't know the truth, and said with a smile: "Winter vacation, I will take you all to New York, the family is on vacation there, how can there be so many worries!" ”

It's not that the family hasn't gone out together, but they just need to take flights in four batches.

Tang Caiyun was overjoyed at first, and then said: "You are always abroad, will it affect your career?" ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "No! When I am abroad, most of my energy is spent traveling around the world, meeting with dignitaries, gathering with customers, collecting shipping information, etc.; In fact, Cheung Kong has entered a stable stage, the management can work step by step, and you can also stabilize the overall situation of the company; As for the Changjiang Industrial Group, everyone will make money if they do a good job, and if they don't do well, they will be like that, anyway, they are just some primary industrial products. ”

In fact, if he was in Hong Kong, if he worked six days a week, he would only spend one day at Cheung Kong Industries. The management has his contact information, and he can report any situation as soon as possible.

The management of Changjiang Industrial Group has actually become accustomed to Lin Zhichao's 'lack of attention', but they will not take it lightly, because the boss is too powerful and it is easy to grasp everyone's 'handle'. Therefore, in fact, a kind of 'spiritual totem' model has been formed, and as long as Lin Zhichao is alive, Changjiang Industrial Group can develop steadily.

Xu Caiying said with a smile: "Doesn't it mean that you can consider retiring?" ”

Three group companies, but they were understated by their husbands about management, isn't this a precursor to retirement!

Lin Zhichao pinched Xu Caiying's big hand, and the woman suddenly let out a light 'um'.

Then he said:

"First of all, our family's business is just the beginning, and the three major groups are far from developing, and we don't know how many times the scale will be in the future to become a multinational enterprise; However, it is necessary to consider the limitations of the times, for example, Cheung Kong will not only be a real estate group in the future, but a comprehensive group, but it needs to be stable step by step. ”

"Secondly, the three groups are not just owned by our family. In the future, it will develop into a comprehensive apparel group with more and more brands and even expand to other industries, such as jewelry retail. It is also possible to set up a hotel group and a media group, but these need to wait for the best time. ”

"In the end, all businesses are going overseas and becoming a multinational group. However, for the time being, the first is that Hong Kong's local roots are not solid, and the second is that the world is not yet more connected. ”

"In short, life is still very long, and your husband's career has just begun. To be honest, if you don't work hard for this bit of wealth, you won't even be able to rank well in Hong Kong in the future, let alone in the world. ”

Listening to Lin Zhichao's grand goal of the family business, the two women were shocked.

"Husband, every time you talk about your career, you are always so confident and charming!"

"Yes, I feel that making money is easier for you than drinking water and eating!"

Hearing the compliment, Lin Zhichao said proudly: "The most important thing to be a man is to have confidence!" ”

"Will the lady's position be increased?"

Cold, Tang Caiyun asked a sentence.

Lin Zhichao said calmly: "In a few years, the Hong Kong government will be about to legislate, not to mention, it is enough to have you three legitimate wives." ”

Xu Caiying immediately said: "Audrey doesn't count, you don't dare to get a certificate and make it public!" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "I only need to admit that this is, that is!" ”

The two sisters seemed to have a very tacit understanding today, and Tang Caiyun immediately said: "Isn't this it, then whether the Hong Kong government legislates or not, it has nothing to do with you in this regard!" ”

Lin Zhichao was caught off guard by two women.

Fortunately, he was sure that these two women would not fall out with Lin Zhichao in this regard, so he said: "Yes, it really doesn't matter!" I can't guarantee that I won't 'make the same mistakes that men do' in the future, but we can say that your three lines are my most important family, and my children are also the heirs I want to cultivate the most, and this is unlikely to change." I want the family to be stable! ”

"Second, if you talk about feelings, we have been married for more than ten years, and I also have a short-term lover outside, but I have never lost a little investment in you. Not in the future, because I think couples should communicate more. ”

Seeing that Lin Zhichao said so sincerely, the two girls quickly surrendered and didn't dare to go too far.

As women, why don't they want Lin Zhichao to say what they say, as for those lovers, this man has energy, let him play!

This is very common in Hong Kong!

Tang Caiyun took the lead and said, "Husband, we won't let the family be unstable, don't worry!" Outside the woman, whoever you fancie, just keep it, get tired of playing and get rid of it, and then change to a new one! ”

When she said this, it was naturally based on reality, but she had some careful thoughts, that is, as long as she was not ready to enter the door, what was the threat! (End of chapter)
