Chapter 79: I'm Going to the United States
Qin Di didn't want to think about getting married for the time being, he dropped a piece on the chessboard and said in a deep voice: "In a few days, I'm going to go to the United States." ”
Zhang Naijing was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight suddenly, raised his voice and said: "I remember! In the safe of Citibank in New York, there is a thick stack of stocks, all of which I bought for you many years ago, shouldn't you go and deal with it?"
Qin Di nodded: "Yes, it's time to throw it." ”
Zhang Naijing couldn't help but admire: "Brother, you are really amazing! You invested 8 million US dollars back then, but now it has appreciated significantly, exceeding 40 million US dollars." Over the years, I have been paying attention to the stock market, the magic capital and the New York stock market have a linkage effect, and there are also US stock prices in the news, although the time has been delayed for half a month, but it does not affect the overall situation. To be honest, your deal was very successful! My father and uncle regretted it, knowing that this was the case, they would rather sell the real estate in the magic capital and buy American stocks! The real estate has only risen two or three times, but the stock has risen five or six times!"
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "I promised you back then, after I make money, I will give you five percent, I haven't forgotten this sentence." ”
Zhang Naijing said "ahh
The Zhang family was a huge rich man in Nanxun many years ago, and Zhang Jinjiang was the boss of the Qingbai Party, and he became the chairman of Zhejiang Province not long ago, and the family's wealth rose. The Zhang family not only has a bank, but also more than a dozen enterprises, on the surface, the wealth is not less than that of the Qin family, but the seven Zhang Jinjiang brothers are less on average.
Zhang Naijing's father, Zhang Danru, is the third oldest among the seven brothers, and his business skills are very strong, just like his ability to play Go. He opened Southeast Trust, Modu Trust, Great China Company, etc., with assets of tens of millions. However, he is in good health and has no intention of separating the family for the time being, so Zhang Naijing cannot inherit the family property early.
Zhang Naijing also has several brothers and sisters, and each of them does not control much wealth.
Zhang Naijing, as the eldest son in the family, after returning from studying in the United States, took the 600,000 oceans given by his father and opened a company called "Kaiyuan Electric", nominally becoming the "chairman", but after several years of operation, the real assets are only more than 3 million.
It stands to reason that three million is a lot, after all, he is still young, and there are still many opportunities in the future!
However, compared to Qin Di, the gap is too big!
Over the years, Zhang Naijing has always cared about the stock market, and he is also worried about Qin Di's original promise, but because the two parties are relatives, he is embarrassed to speak. Now hearing Qin Di mention this matter, he suddenly became very excited.
Qin Ling felt strange: "What's the matter? Why does Ah Di want to give you money? Two million dollars? Isn't it a joke?"
Zhang Naijing said with a "haha" smile: "At the beginning, Qin Di ravaged me on the chessboard, and encouraged me to go to the United States to study, nominally for my good, but actually wanted me to help him do things!"
"What did you do for him?"
"I helped him buy $8 million worth of stock, which has been sitting in the safe for more than eight years now! At the current market price, the value has increased fivefold, more than $40 million!"
Qin Ling and Qin Yue were both taken aback, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Ah, there are so many?"
When Qin Hancheng heard this, his complexion changed greatly, his hands trembled vigorously, and the purple clay pot in his hand almost fell off!
Although Qin Hancheng is the head of the family, he does not control the financial power, and he is not very clear about how much money the family has. According to his estimates, the Qin family's wealth is about forty or fifty million, mainly precipitated in Guotai Pharmaceutical and Qin's grain store. But he didn't expect that in addition to these assets on the surface, Qin Di also bought stocks in New York, and also had a lot of deposits in major banks.
Qin Hancheng finally put the purple clay pot on the table and said, "Stocks worth 40 million US dollars? 80 million in silver dollars! That's a bit of a lot!"
In these years, China was still on the silver standard, and silver depreciated little by little, and a piece of ocean was equivalent to 0.5 US dollars. By the time it depreciated to its limit in 1932, a silver dollar could only be exchanged for $0.25.
Qin Di walked out of the study and said to everyone: "I'm going to go to the United States, at least stay outside for a few months, and I'm not sure when I'll come back." ”
Zhu Wan walked down from the attic and said, "Go ahead, bring a few more people, and pay attention to safety." By the way, I applied for a patent for streptomycin. ”
Zhang Naijing looked at Qin Ling and said with a smile: "Wife, let's go out for a few months, okay?"
Qin Ling glanced at him and said, "If you leave, what will Kaiyuan Electric do?"
Zhang Naijing said with a smile: "There is a manager down there, let him report to the old man." The old man he said was naturally Zhang Danru.
Qin Di also followed and persuaded: "There are many people to be lively, and it is best for Qin Yue to go with you." ”
Qin Yue waved her hand vigorously: "Hmph! I won't go to the evil capitalist country." If it were possible, I would like to go to the USSR and have a look. ”
Qin Di didn't care about her, turned to Zhu Wan and said, "Mom, you are a world-famous great medical scientist, if you go to the United States, you will definitely be popular." ”
Zhu Wan shook her head: "I don't even bother to go to Sweden to receive the award, why go to the United States?"
Indeed, she did not attend the three award ceremonies of the Nobel Prize, and she did not even ask for the prize money!
For her, the Nobel Prize is just an honor, not worth traveling across the ocean to receive the prize.
And according to records, the Nobel Prize in 1901 was only 42,000 US dollars, and by 1929 it was only 100,000 US dollars.
Qin Hancheng wanted to go out for a walk, but he was afraid of the long sea voyage, he had had similar experiences several times before, and it was too uncomfortable to hold on the ship for two months.
In fact, because of the progress of science and technology, the speed of the ship has increased rapidly, and the latest American Matson passenger ship can run 22 knots per hour, which is equivalent to 40 kilometers per hour, and if you sail at full speed, it only takes ten days to run to San Francisco.
Qin Di is going to New York, located on the east coast of the United States, and if the ship docks in San Francisco, it will take a few days to take a train from west to east, across the continent.
After some discussion, several people finally bought a ticket for the end of July.
Qin Di, Yan Xue, Zhang Naijing, Qin Ling, the little girl Zhang Yiran, plus Du Rong, Du Lan sisters, and a bodyguard named "Chen Hu", a total of eight people, took a boat together and crossed the ocean.
Chen Hu is Zhang Naijing's personal bodyguard, and he went to the United States with him in his early years, so he can be regarded as having some knowledge.
This person is tall, 1.9 meters tall, covered with tendon meat, in his thirties, with a square face, and a pair of eyes like copper bells. His skills are at the peak of Mingjin, and he is even stronger than Du Rong and Du Lan.
Qin Di told Du Rong and Du Lan to protect Qin Ling's mother and daughter, and don't worry about anything else.
So, the two sisters chased the little girl every day and ran around the boat.
The first class cabin they bought, located on the upper deck of the ship, made little noise, lived in a spacious place, and had a swimming pool, a gym, a café.
