Xue Jianguo waited for Chu Xiangqian for two days, and he was impetuous when he had been waiting for a long time, but he saw his sister appear in front of him with a happy face.

The depression and irritability in my heart disappeared without a trace.

But he still complained, "I said where did you two go to play, and you didn't come back for two days and one night as soon as you went out." ”

Xue Jinglan's face turned red after hearing this, and she remembered again what happened last night with her own man in the wild.

Chu Xiangqian shrugged his shoulders and didn't answer this question, but asked with a smile, "If you have something to say, don't delay our newlywed honeymoon." ”

Xue Jianguo rolled his eyes after hearing this, and Chu Xiangqian didn't have to work or lack money, so he could take his sister to skip work and play around the capital.

However, seeing that Chu Xiangqian likes his sister so much, Xue Jianguo, who is the second brother, is still very happy in his heart.

Just remembering what Tang Lianxin, the direct leader said, yesterday morning, Xue Jianguo hurriedly said, "Forward, Donald told me yesterday that the international gold price in London suddenly soared to $41.5 per ounce.

I would like to ask you, can you take advantage of the high price of gold to exchange a batch of gold for US dollars? ”

Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard that he was planning to wait for the price of gold to fall, and then use the dollar to buy the same proportion of gold.

to make a difference.

Previously, the price of gold had been stable at US$35 an ounce, and even if there were fluctuations, it would remain within 1%.

Exceeding this percentage, the United States and Europe's major central banks will intervene to maintain the Bretton Woods system.

However, as the people of the United States first fought the Goryeo War, and now they began to intervene in Yuenan again, consuming a lot of money, but not winning the war, they naturally could not see the estimated returns.

Coupled with inflation, it has become increasingly difficult for the country to maintain a fixed price for gold.

Chu Xiangqian knew that the price of gold would definitely rise, and he also knew that the Bretton Woods system would collapse, but he really didn't know how the international gold price fluctuated every year.

Otherwise, do nothing, just copy the gold full-time.

However, Chu Xiangqian was sure that the gold price would soon be suppressed this time.

After all, it is not the early 70s, and the United States has clearly shown fatigue on the battlefield of Yuenan.

There were also more and more people in the country who opposed the Vietnamese War, and there were many domestic contradictions and the international prestige fell sharply.

At this stage of 60 years, the United States has not officially sent troops to intervene in the Vietnam War, as long as the United States want to maintain the hegemony of the dollar, the price of gold will be maintained in the range of 35 US dollars per ounce.

In the future, the gold price will collapse, not because the people of the United States do not want to maintain it, but because they do not have the ability to maintain it.

But now, anyway, Chu Xiangqian just thought about it for a few dozen seconds before deciding to take a gamble.

$41.5 per ounce vs. 35, making $6.5 per ounce.

The 4.848 tons of gold that I have in Standard Chartered Bank, and the 2.5 tons of gold that I have in Hang Seng Bank, will definitely make a lot of profit when I sell them.

The only trouble is that the 4 tons + 2.8 tons of gold obtained from trading grain with China twice have been stored in the warehouse of the novice village.

If you want to sell it, you have to go back to Hong Kong Island first.

However, even if it is only 7.348 tons of gold from Standard Chartered and Hang Seng banks, Chu Xiangqian carefully calculated, and one ton of gold is equal to 35,374 ounces.

Sell it all and wait for the price to fall back to $35 an ounce, which should make $1.68 million.

If you sell 6.8 tons of gold in the novice village, you can make another $1.56 million.

It only adds up to more than three million, which doesn't seem to mean much.

No, if you buy all the money you earn into gold, you can probably earn about 2.6 tons.

When I think about it, I feel that it is necessary to participate in this business.

looked at Xue Jianguo and said, "Second brother, I'm busy with the fastest plane, I'm going to take Lan Lan to Hong Kong Island to deal with the gold trade."

If it is done properly this time, I will sell more than 14 tons of gold in my hand and buy it low.

This one out and one in, should be able to earn about 2.5 tons of gold. ”

Xue Jianguo heard that the whole person was blinded, and he personally owned 14 tons of gold, how many small yellow croakers did he need?

At $41.5 an ounce, that's about $20 million.

Nima's, Chu Xiangqian, this kid didn't go to Hong Kong Island for a year, and he actually saved such a large amount of money in his hand, and exchanged it for gold and stored it in the bank?

Xue Jinglan also looked at her man with beautiful eyes.

"Second brother?"

Xue Jianguo heard Chu Xiangqian shouting to himself, and nodded hurriedly.

But after a few seconds, he shook his head again, "It's no problem to help you book a ticket, take Ling and Lanlan directly to the south by transport plane, and then you can take the car back to Hong Kong Island."

But the most important thing now is that you go with me to meet the leader. Otherwise, Donald would have skinned me. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it and wanted to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, and really helped.

And while waiting, it didn't take much time to talk to Old Man Tang about gold trading.

However, Chu Xiangqian would only say his own judgment that the price of gold would fall in a short period of time.

How to do it, whether you want to follow or not, Chu Xiangqian will definitely not say much, and he will not participate in the trading of gold from above.

Speaking his own judgment is for the sake of being a member of the Celestial Empire, and not participating in the operation is to avoid trouble.

Chu Qianqian looked at Xue Jinglan, and the little daughter-in-law hurriedly said, "Brother Xiangqian, you go and get busy with yours, I'll go home by myself." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, it was already a few dozen meters away from the alley, and it would take five or six minutes to walk home at most.

Seeing Xue Jinglan enter Luoguxiang, Chu Xiangqian rode a side three-wheeled motorcycle and followed Xue Jianguo's car to see Old Man Tang.

It's just that after meeting, Old Man Tang pulled Chu forward to meet the second elder after hearing this.

He didn't get home until 10 o'clock at night.

What exactly was said from above, it was actually very simple, Chu Xiangqian spent most of his time in a small conference room during the day today.

Sleeping, reading newspapers, eating and so on were all free, and it was not until after 8 o'clock in the evening that I got a reply.

The boss lent him 20 tons of gold this time, but returned 20 tons after half a year.

At the same time, in the next six months, 100,000 tons of grain will be transported to the country every month.

The price is calculated based on the futures price of wheat or corn in the United States, and the payment for grain in the future can be deducted from the 20 tons of gold.

And it is calculated in terms of the actual price of gold every month.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would not have suffered this loss. The top will not be so discerning.

In other words, the boss didn't want to take risks, and thought that since Chu Xiangqian bet that the price of gold would fall in a short period of time, he would give him more chips.

It can be regarded as a reward for helping to transport food back, and at the same time obtain a stable source of food.

Chu Xiangqian naturally agreed to come down in one bite.

Anyway, even if your judgment is wrong, the gold price has fallen for more than 1 year, and you actually have no loss.

As long as it falls, you will have to earn.

Moreover, the money to buy grain from the United States is to help the Chicago mafia transfer dollars into Panama and get a 3% commission.

It is said that it is okay to buy and sell without capital.

——

When she got home, Xue Jinglan and Ehime, who was accompanying her, hurriedly got up, "Brother Qian, have you had dinner?" ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, and couldn't help but think of the lion's head and braised pork he ate in Ouchi tonight, and secretly said that the skills of this imperial chef are really good.

If you can, ask the retired imperial chef to go to Hong Kong Island and open a royal kitchen workshop, and the business should be very good.

Ehime saw Chu Xiangqian eating, and while reassuring, she hurriedly asked, "Brother, I heard from my sister-in-law that we may return to Hong Kong Island in a few days?" ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, "No accident, we'll leave tomorrow afternoon." But if you have something, you can wait a week.

I'll come back again when I'm done with my business on Hong Kong Island. When the time comes, I will have to take my teacher and a few uncles to Los Angeles. ”

After speaking, he told Gong Er that he was not in good health and probably couldn't bear the cold weather in the capital in winter.

Ehime's eyes lit up when she heard this.

pulled Xue Jinglan and said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go to Hong Kong Island first, and when my brother comes back, let's fly to the United States to play together?" ”

But Xue Jinglan was newly married, and it was when she was sticking to Chu forward, where was she willing to part with him.

It's just that the sister-in-law begged herself for the first time, and if she refused, it didn't seem good.

Chu looked forward at his daughter-in-law's embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Okay, I just got married to your sister-in-law, so you better not be a light bulb."

In a week, we'll come back to pick you up and my Master. ”

Xue Jinglan's face was happy, but Ehime pouted, secretly saying that the eldest brother really forgot his sister when he had a daughter-in-law.

Xue Jinglan was embarrassed again, pulled Ehime and asked, "Yuanyuan, if you have something, just talk to me and your brother?" ”

Ehime hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I heard from my second aunt that I plan to find a family affair for Aiko. He also pulled me and said, let's see how the girl is. ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that he was only 17 years old, why did he find a daughter-in-law so early.

Then I guessed that it must be because I got married, and the second uncle and second aunt were stimulated, so I moved this thought.

But it's right to think about it, he is the grandson of Lao Chu's family, and his marriage is solved, and the eyes of the second uncle, the second aunt and the third uncle are naturally on the second child, who is patriotic.

Even if you are not old enough, you may get engaged, and even as long as you have an engagement banquet and the young couple live together, no one will say anything.

Besides, patriotism is not a cadre establishment, and the leaders of the rolling mill will certainly not fire the workers because of the fact that an ordinary small worker lives together when he is engaged.

In the end, 100% verbal criticism and education are forgotten.

As for influencing the promotion, a 17-year-old child can't do it unless it's a great achievement.

And as a chef, Tigan is also related to the canteen, and he can't drive the stupid pillar away and be the superior of the junior and younger brothers.

Then you would be ungrateful.

Chu Xiangqian asked curiously, "Which girl?" ”

Xue Jinglan has just become a sister-in-law, and she is naturally very interested and active in her brother-in-law's marriage.

Ehime was also very gossipy, and said with a smile, "I heard the second aunt say that the girl grew up in our alley." Both parents are at home, and they also have regular jobs.

The girl is 16 years old and still in her third year of junior high school. There are two younger sisters and two younger brothers in the family. ”

After listening to this, Chu Xiangqian knew that if patriotism and that girl met each other, then in the future, this kid would most likely be a cow and a horse for his brother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Moreover, the parents of the people who can't keep it together have already set their sights on their eldest brother.

Find a job for your younger siblings, you should!

When her younger brother and sister gave birth to a little nephew and found a job for her younger sister and younger brother, for the sake of her giving birth to a son to the old Chu family, it was not easy for her to refuse as a big brother.

Of course, if she gives birth to one, gives birth to two, and gives birth to three or five nephews, Chu Xiangqian, who is the eldest brother, doesn't need to mention it to her younger siblings, and the custodian will take the initiative to reward her as a great hero.

even said that even if they were all nieces, Chu Xiangqian was willing to reward her.

However, it is not forbidden to have more children this year, and I don't mention the reward, as long as the couple can have children, they will probably have more children.

Ehime and Lan Lan saw that Chu Xiangqian had a thoughtful expression after hearing this, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you know that family?" ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, just about to express his worries, after all, one is a daughter-in-law and a sister-in-law, and he can be regarded as the closest and most trusted person to him.

But after thinking about it, if you look at the girl's character and background on your side, people will inevitably look at the strength of the old Chu family.

This kind of thing is the same in any era.

Even if the girls in the patriotic compound are good and get married and have children, the younger brothers and sisters of the younger siblings have no jobs, or they are going to go to the countryside in the future, the patriotic couple will still find themselves.

You can't get away with it, and you can't get rid of it.

The only thing that makes Chu Xiangqian and many people in the future care is that it is no problem for relatives to help, but I am afraid that it is a white-eyed wolf.

Maybe a vampire who only asks and doesn't give.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian simply didn't say anything, and let the second aunt and Ehime take a look first.

Find someone to inquire and inquire carefully.

And I haven't even scratched the bullet in this matter, I care so much, maybe I don't like patriotism, then I just wasted my thoughts.

However, this year, the girl can go to the third year of junior high school, although it may be a bit late for the girl to go to school, she should not go to school until she is 9 years old.

8 or 9 years ago, it was the early 50s, maybe it was the girl's father who had a job in the capital and settled down, so he took the children from his hometown to school.

But being able to study until the third year of junior high school is rare even in the capital.

It can be seen that the elders of this family are quite enlightened, and they should not be short of money, otherwise they would have let the girl drop out of school and go to work.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "It's useless to say anything now." And Ehime you know the situation of my family, it doesn't depend on whether the girl's family has money or power.

It only depends on whether the girl is good or not, whether she is a person who will feel sorry for her man.

Or is it that looking for patriotism is simply to take care of her family's two younger sisters and two younger brothers. ”

Not only did Xue Jinglan not understand this, but even Ehime couldn't keep up with Chu Xiangqian's thoughts.

People in these years may not lack careful thinking in their hearts, but the family concept is much more important than that of future people.

In the hearts of most people, it is normal to be a big brother or elder sister and take care of younger brothers and sisters.

Chu Xiangqian also reacted, "I mean, it's no problem to take care of your younger siblings." But I can't have some good things at home, so I move back to my parents' house.

Even for the sake of his younger brother, he didn't even care that his son and daughter couldn't eat enough, and he had to bring food back to his mother's house.

This kind of daughter-in-law is not a prosperous family, but a loser. ”

After listening to this, Ehime nodded directly, Xue Jinglan was a little worried, but after thinking about it, her eldest brother was the battalion commander, and the second brother was a unit-level cadre.

How can you take care of your own man.

Therefore, what he said to Brother Xiang is definitely not himself.

Hurriedly nodded and said, "Brother Xiang is right, this matter has to be taken a good look." ”
