The next afternoon, Chu Xiangqian once again sold the 6.8 tons of gold stored in the warehouse of the novice village again.

Unexpectedly, when the London futures market opened that night, the 6.8 tons of gold were thrown into the market without even making a splash.

Chu Xiangqian gritted his teeth, and the next day he sold the 20 tons of gold that had been urgently transported to Hong Kong Island and deposited in Standard Chartered again, only to bring the London gold price to $40.2.

And Chu Xiangqian's move is tantamount to giving the rice guy a bullet to suppress the price of gold.

So that the officials of the United States, who were still thinking about how much it would cost to suppress the gold price, only need to take advantage of the situation to announce that the Federal Reserve intends to sell 20 tons of gold to the market in a planned manner.

It has destroyed the confidence of investors in the market who are worried that gold will rise again, or speculators who are waiting for the price of gold to rise again.

Before ordinary investors reacted, some large institutions that hoarded gold did not hesitate to sell gold, intending to take the opportunity to make the last payment.

At this time, there is no need for administrative intervention policies, and ordinary people are already panicking in their hearts.

In less than five days, the price of gold has fallen back to $35 an ounce, at one point to $34.

The people of the United States had to start planning to buy back gold, but Chu Xiangqian would not let go of this opportunity.

The dollar that sold the gold in his hand entered the market in a big way.

The 34.148 tons of gold that were deposited in Standard Chartered and sold were bought back before they were handed over to the bank that bought them.

Then he ate a lot of money again.

This one in and one out, 34.148 tons of gold before and after selling and then buying, and when the final settlement, the gold in Chu Xiangqian's hand directly became 40.3 tons of gold.

Standard Chartered naturally tried his best to persuade Chu Xiangqian to deposit all 40.3 tons of gold in their bank.

But Chu Xiangqian was stupid to put so much gold in a bank.

Besides, what is deposited in the bank is gold, but what the bank gives is a gold deposit certificate.

To put it bluntly, this document is just a piece of paper, just like a dollar banknote.

Physical gold in hand is the real wealth.

Of the 40.3 tons of gold settled, Chu Xiangqian took 30.3 tons directly from Standard Chartered.

Then 7.5 tonnes were deposited at Standard Chartered and 2.5 tonnes continued to be stored in Hang Seng.

Of course, the 10 tonnes of gold deposited in these two companies, and the 6.125 tonnes of gold, need to be shipped back to Hong Kong Island from other banks by Standard Chartered and Hang Seng.

But in the accounts, Chu Xiangqian did have a total of 10 tons of gold in Standard Chartered and Hang Seng.

——

It took Chu Qian 5 days to transport 30.3 tons of gold to the yacht in batches, and it went to sea at night and was collected in the warehouse of the novice village.

Fortunately, the proportion of gold is heavy, and there are 19.32 tons per cubic meter.

Don't worry that the yacht can't fit, but you have to worry that the yacht doesn't have that much load.

This also made Standard Chartered understand very well in his heart that the 20+6.8 tons of gold that Chu Xiangqian took out for the third time before may really be from the Celestial Empire.

And Chu Xiangqian used to choose Standard Chartered as the settlement bank of several of his companies, because this bank had an excellent relationship with the Celestial Empire.

There is a high probability that there will be no thoughts that should not be there for this batch of gold.

Of course, it is not the capitalists who are kind-hearted, but the fact that Standard Chartered can get a lot of benefits from the Celestial Empire.

However, the attitude of the person at the helm of a company also determines the position of a company.

——

Chu Xiangqian put a lot of effort into the safety of this batch of gold, but fortunately, everything went well.

After all the gold was collected into the warehouse of the novice village, Chu Xiangqian was relieved, but he was very satisfied that Standard Chartered and Hang Seng could not spread the news of the transfer of gold within 5 days.

And Chu Xiangqian was able to easily get 26.8 tons of gold from the Celestial Empire, which also made Standard Chartered pay more attention to him.

Of course, in fact, of the 26.8 tons of gold, 6.8 tons belong to Chu Xiangqian.

But this kind of misunderstanding Chu Xiangqian will not say, and he even wishes to make people misunderstand that this batch of gold has all been transported back to the Celestial Empire.

So that no one will target you.

The 10 tons of gold left in Standard Chartered and Hang Seng are equivalent to Chu Xiangqian's total of 2.652 tons of gold in the eyes of the two banks.

In the eyes of the two banks, the return is extremely rich.

Standard Chartered's Juan and Hang Seng's Ho Tsan Yuen, when attending a small banquet held by Chu Xiangqian at the hilltop villa, kept pulling him to hint that if there is a project in the future, the two banks will not only provide financial support.

I hope to be a part of it.

Chu Xiangqian naturally agreed to this, and if he wanted to get more shares of the two banks, the best and most direct way was to take them to make money.

Otherwise, why should people sell shares to you?

If you can't get more shares, even if your influence in the two banks will grow, this influence is a bit false.

Of course, directly letting the two banks participate in their own projects, Chu Xiangqian is not so stupid.

This matter has to be pondered carefully, so Chu Xiangqian didn't say anything directly.

Instead, he began to mention the trolley luggage company.

In the past three months, not only the factory has been completed, but even the machinery and equipment have been debugged long ago.

Previously, Chu Xiangqian provided a large number of cowhides, sheepskins, fox skins and shark skins to the luggage company, but the only trouble was that there was still a shortage of skilled workers.

However, the bags have just begun to be sold to England, and the initial sales volume will not be large.

It gave the factory enough time to scale up production.

As soon as He Zanyuan heard that a factory that sells bags and bags sold 2,000 bags to England this month, the performance was 60,000 pounds, and he was immediately envious.

According to this sales data, with annual sales of more than one million pounds, not only Chu Xiangqian is full of confidence, but also Standard Chartered, Hader and Ge Bai are also full of confidence.

Juan knew that Chu Xiangqian deliberately told He Zanyuan that he was probably worried about Hang Seng's shares.

But this is actually a good thing for Standard Chartered.

Although the two banks are not equal in size, there are many opportunities for cooperation.

With Chu Xiangqian as a link, cooperation will naturally be smoother.

By the way, the more shares Chu Xiangqian gets, the more influence Standard Chartered has over the bank established by a wealthy local businessman.

Of course, without HSBC, its biggest competitor, Standard Chartered would not have partnered with Hang Seng, but would have tried its best to swallow this bank, and even more banks set up by wealthy local businessmen.

The competition between Standard Chartered and HSBC has given the banks established by wealthy local businessmen room to exist.

However, in the past 10 or 30 years, the more than 200 small and medium-sized banks on Hong Kong Island are actually the nourishment of the two large banks.

Facts have also proved that the local banks on Hong Kong Island, as long as they have some strength, are basically invested in or even controlled by two large banks in the end.

When the local banks are small, the two big banks don't care about you.

When they can't keep it, these small banks themselves will collapse or have to be sold to other banks.

But when the strength develops to a certain extent, then it begins to suppress.

Even if there is no opportunity to annex or buy shares in one or three to five years, an economic crisis that occurs once every ten or eight years on average will inevitably create opportunities for the two big banks.

That's how important it is to have a lot of cash on hand.

Gold, on the other hand, is a wealth that is more stable and preserved than cash, and is more accepted and affirmed by investors.

Think of the early 70s, when the international gold price exceeded $100 per ounce.

In the late 70s and early 80s, when the international gold price exceeded $500 per ounce, Chu Xiangqian felt that the 40.3 tons of gold in his hand might become an important bargaining chip for him to defeat any potential opponent.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, seeing off the guests who came to the banquet today, Chu Xiangqian hugged Xue Jinglan and said, "Do you want to walk together on the mountain road?" ”

Xue Jinglan nodded hurriedly, it has been 10 days since she came to Hong Kong Island, and she really hasn't walked around the villa.

Moreover, there are a lot of street lamps installed near the villa, one is for lighting, and the other is to prevent people from quietly touching the villa near the villa at night.

Chu Xiangqian whistled into the villa, and soon Da Zhuang and Hongniu ran to the two of them wagging their tails.

Xue Jinglan is very fond of the two hunting dogs now.

Not only can they accompany and protect themselves, but at the same time, Da Zhuang and Hongniu are so smart that Xue Jinglan feels that they can understand what she is saying.

In addition, Chu Xiangqian had said before that the two dogs had hunted tigers with him, and it was the two of them who released the tigers in advance, so that they could escape the catastrophe by themselves.

Under the love house and Wu, Xue Jinglan is naturally very close to Da Zhuang and Hongniu.

After playing with the two hunting dogs for a while, Xue Jinglan got up and put her arm around Chu Qianqian and walked on the cement road in the mountains together.

Behind him were Zhang Tianzhi and Zhou Billy.

Tony and Yuan Hua have always been professional killers and professional killer agents, and when there is no need, Chu Xiangqian does not plan to let the two of them appear by his side too much.

With Zhang Tianzhi and Zhou Billy, who are also very strong, even if ten or twenty killers with sticks and knives appear, they may not be able to pass the two of them.

Not to mention that Zhang Tianzhi is now accustomed to being equipped with guns and daggers, and it is impossible for three or five gunmen to kidnap Chu Xiangqian if they want to kidnap Chu Xiangqian.

Holding Xue Jinglan's hand, Chu Xiangqian asked with a smile, "It's been so many days since I've been here, are you still used to it?" ”

Xue Jinglan nodded without thinking about it, as long as Chu Xiangqian was there, whether she lived on Hong Kong Island or in the capital, it would be the same for her.

Chu Xiangqian saw that his little daughter-in-law didn't look like lying, so he was relieved.

"I'll take you out for a good time in the past two days, and the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will go back to the capital, and then take the master, the master and the three uncles, and fly to Los Angeles together to play in the ranch for a while.

By the way, I'm going to handle the business over there. ”

Xue Jinglan nodded indifferently, and then asked in her heart, "Brother Qian, senior sister told me that junior sister is also on Hong Kong Island."

Why didn't I see you to see her, or she came to sit at home? ”

Chu Qian stepped forward, and secretly said that this little girl should know something, right?

"Hong Kong is usually quite busy, and I'll call tomorrow to ask her when she is free and come to the house for a meal."

Xue Jinglan pursed her lips and secretly wanted to lie to me.

However, when I think of coming to Hong Kong Island these days, I am probably under great pressure to speculate in gold, and I am in high mood after earning a lot of gold, in short, Chu Xiangqian has a lot of demand in that regard recently.

Xue Jinglan is a little afraid to sleep in the same bed with him now.

Otherwise, this girl would never take the initiative to mention Hong Kong students.

But if there was no helper, Xue Jinglan felt that she really couldn't bear her man's request.

At the same time, when he thought of the uncomfortable appearance that Chu Xiangqian was enduring forcibly, he felt that he had not shouldered the responsibility of his wife.

I don't want to see my man uncomfortable.

However, if she can't talk to Hong Kong students, Xue Jinglan will not have to pretend to be very good with Hong Kong students.

He wouldn't let her enter the door of the Chu family.

Of course, Xue Jinglan will have these thoughts, which are actually related to his grandfather Xue Xueli.

The old man hinted that Chu Xiangqian had a woman outside.

However, Old Man Xue also said that this is for work.

Then on the day of the wedding, after the second elder came to the door in person, Old Man Xue said about Margaret.

In Xue Jinglan's heart, Chu Xiangqian approached Margaret for the sake of work.

Since this is the case, with one more junior sister, Xue Jinglan's acceptance will naturally be higher.

"Brother Qian, why don't we eat out at noon tomorrow and meet Hong Kong students by the way, okay?

lest you go back to the capital to see your master, your mother, and your uncle, and ask us if we have seen your sister.

In the end, I found out that the two of us were senior brothers and sisters-in-law, and we hadn't even seen our junior sisters, which was not good. ”

Chu Xiangqian glanced at his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't see the careful thoughts of this chick.

However, Lan Lan knew that it was a matter of time before Hong Kong Sheng, Fei Fei, and even Margaret were born.

Since she wants to meet Hong Kong students, let's meet first.

"Okay, I'll call tomorrow morning and ask. However, if you, who are sister-in-law, take the initiative to invite her, even if you are really not available, Hong Kong students will make up time to meet you.

lest in the future, when you, who are a sister-in-law, not only do not want to see her, but also do not let her come to our house. ”

"Nonsense", Xue Jinglan suddenly became angry, "How can I be as bad as you say? ”

Early the next morning, the phone call came to Fujin Building, and the Hong Kong students who were having breakfast with Fei Fei were not feeling well after answering the phone.

Seeing this, Fei Fei couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong?" Who called? ”

Hong Kong Sheng came back to his senses, grabbed Fei Fei's arm nervously and said, "Senior brother said, let me go to the racecourse in the morning and meet the eldest sister." ”

"Big sister?" Before Fei Fei could react, she asked puzzledly, "Your eldest sister has come to Hong Kong Island?" ”

Hong Kong Sheng hurriedly shook his head, "It's not my eldest sister, no, I don't have my eldest sister." is the daughter-in-law of the senior brother, the wife of the Chu family. Sister Fei Fei, your immediate boss. ”

Fei Fei was also shocked when she heard this, this is the person who can decide her own fate.

One is not good, even if the man himself will not want himself.

But in terms of his identity, he is naturally not as good as the daughter-in-law that Ming Media is marrying.

In case the main house finds trouble for itself, it is better to beat yourself directly.

I cried and sympathized in front of my husband, maybe I could be more favored.

But if the wife of the main house uses yang schemes, there are ways to punish and suppress herself, and even the man can't accuse her daughter-in-law.

"What else did my husband tell you? Do you want me to see my wife too? ”

Hong Kong Sheng shook his head, "Senior brother said let me go to the racecourse and take me and my eldest sister to dinner at noon." ”

When Fei Fei heard this, she couldn't help but pout and be dissatisfied.

Why did he see Hong Kong Sheng this chick first, but he didn't go to see his wife by himself?

However, if she is unhappy in her heart, Fei Fei still thinks that it is a good thing for her to let Hong Kong students go to meet the eldest wife first and touch the other party's temper.

Busy pulling Hong Kong students began to teach her how to deal with the difficulties of the wife of the main house.
