Chapter 380 Ten Planes
In recent years, because of provoking wars around the world, the United States has been issuing currency on a large scale. The tens of thousands of tons of gold originally stored in the national treasury have been reduced to less than 10,000 tons.
Of these 10,000 tons, a large part belongs to his younger brother.
My little brother is not a fool either. I treat you as my elder brother and save my gold with you, but you treat me like a fool and use my gold to fetch water for fun.
By the end of January, Romantic Kingdom took the lead in twirling his eldest brother's beard in order to bring back the gold in his family.
This move by the Romantic Country is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire. The younger brothers who already have opinions about the Ugly Country are jumping up and down one after another. The news of the decoupling of the US dollar and gold is also getting more intense.
Gold futures and the stock market also fluctuated high and low due to the speeches of the Chou Country's financial department, but the brothers have surrendered to the Chou Country for a long time, and the financial market is relatively stable for the time being.
However, after Li Wen's two billion US dollars of funds poured in, the entire capital market was still on an upward trend.
"Mr. Li, the price of gold has now risen to 36.32 US dollars per ounce. This price is already a bit high. Do we still want to buy it?" The financial director of Goldman Sachs who organized the sweep turned to look at Li Wen and asked.
"David, how much money is left in the account now?" Li Wen nodded and asked.
“After nearly two weeks of scanning goods, the remaining funds in the account are now less than 200 million.
Mr. Li, I also want to inform you that the account has lost close to 100 million in the past few days, so you should prepare early." When David said this, the corners of his mouth twitched several times.
"It's okay, I have my own plan. Go ahead with the remaining 200 million and try to buy them all today. I don't want to wait any longer." Li Wen waved his hand and ordered.ωωw..net
David had never seen such a calm employer. He only had a total of 2 billion in capital, and he hadn't done anything in the past few days! He had already lost 100 million. You must know that this is US dollars, the real currency equivalent to gold.
However, the employer is God. As financial practitioners, David and others signed an agreement when they first started helping Li Wen operate, and everything was done according to Li Wen's instructions.
"Okay Mr. Li, I really admire you for being so calm.
But if you want to buy all 200 million today, your bid may be a bit of a loss." David first complimented Li Wen, and then expressed his opinion professionally.
"I am greedy when others are fearful, and fearful when others are greedy. I just want to buy when the market price is high, so as to attract more people to sell." Li Wen laughed.
"Okay! You are the boss, you have the final say." David spread his hands helplessly.
That afternoon, all of Li Wen's two billion U.S. dollars were used up, but there was still a slight loss. Now there is only less than 1.9 billion U.S. dollars left.
However, Li Wen didn't care about this and followed the old saying, that is, as long as I don't sell, there will be no loss.
But this is of course a joke. Li Wen's 2 billion stock futures were pledged by Goldman Sachs. As long as the market value of Li Wen's stock futures is less than 1.65 billion, they will immediately start closing the position or Li Wen will renew the guarantee.
Funds, increase the closing amount.
But according to Li Wen, there is nothing to worry about.
The world's financial markets have experienced frequent fluctuations this year, and inflation in the U.S. has been severe. Once the U.S. Federal Reserve announces it will stop raising interest rates in March this year, the price of gold will not fall.
Since the price of gold will not rise for some time, Li Wen, as the big boss, naturally cannot stay and watch the market all the time. The two of them are left to stare at the market, while he starts to sweep the Ugly Country with 1.6 billion in mortgage loans from Goldman Sachs.
Goods, sweep people.
Among the 1.6 billion funds, Li Wen left 200 million as emergency funds, and the remaining 1.4 billion was used for buying.
"Li, this is Director Mendel of Gulfstream. Just let us know what kind of aircraft you need." Mike smiled and helped Li Wen introduce the Gulfstream director who had arrived from Kuazhou.
When Li Wen came to Chou Country, he initially wanted to buy a private jet for the convenience of himself and his company, but when he heard the price of the jet, he immediately thought of buying a private jet.
"Hello, Mr. Mendel, I don't know how your company's production capacity is. If I order now, how long will it take for me to get on my own plane?" Li Wen asked with a smile.
"Mr. Li, airplanes are not trivial. If you book now, it will be by the end of the year at the earliest." Mendel answered honestly.
Perhaps seeing Li Wen frowning, Mendel quickly explained: "Mr. Li, I know that for a rich man like you, an airplane may be just a large toy, but as a manufacturer, we still have to protect your safety.
Responsible.
Every aircraft produced by Gulfstream must undergo strict test flights and inspections. Only in this way can it be handed over to customers with confidence.
In fact, if we just build the aircraft, we can deliver it in October at most, but as a noble private aircraft, we need to discuss the interior configuration of each aircraft with customers, so that each aircraft is unique."
Li Wen was just a loser in his previous life. He had bought a plane and his remote control skills were pretty good, so he was naturally half-empty when it came to buying a private jet.
However, Li Wen also watched some video movies in his previous life and knew that the interiors of private jets could be customized, so he gradually put away his dissatisfaction because it took a lot of time.
Mendel felt relieved when he saw that Li Wen had listened to his opinion. He finally got a customer, and he didn't want to let him go!
It’s not easy to build an airplane! There are only so many rich people in the world, and only a few can spend nearly 10 million to buy an airplane.
"Mr. Li, look at these are some interior pictures our company has launched. You can take a look. If you are not satisfied, we can customize them for you." Mendel quickly took out a large book of decorative pictures from his trolley case and handed them to him.
Li Wen.
"Mr. Mendel, the trolley suitcase you use is pretty good!" Li Wen said jokingly, looking at the suitcase next to the sofa.
"Haha! My daughter bought this from the luxury store of Wo Emma Supermarket just for my work.
Not to mention, this trolley case is really good. It has universal wheels on the bottom and a retractable trolley on the top. It is very convenient to bring some clothes and work documents when you go out.
But this trolley case is good, but it’s too expensive. My trolley case costs more than 900 US dollars. It’s really a luxury item!” When Mendel said about his daughter, he happily touched the trolley case.
Li Wen felt full of accomplishment when he saw that elites like Mendel loved his company's trolley cases.
"Mendel, this trolley case is a product of Mr. Li's company. Yours is still a basic product. Mr. Li's company has better ones.
If this cooperation is pleasant, Mr. Li can give your baby a limited edition trolley case, which is very exquisite!" At this time, Mike interjected from the side.
"Oh? I really thought that such an excellent product could be produced by Mr. Li's company." Mendel gave a thumbs up to Li Wen in shock.
After all, Li Wen is a young man and is willing to accept flattery from others.
"They are all our own products, it's a joke! Mendel will leave your address when he arrives, and I'll ask the company in your ugly country to give your sweetheart the latest model." Li Wen waved his hand indifferently.
The closeness between people is often drawn from some details or the people around them. After the incident with the trolley suitcase, the group's conversation became more casual.
"Mr. Mendel, I know that your aircraft company usually has one or two pre-built aircraft for emergency use. I wonder if you can sell me one?"
Of course, I can give you an extra five hundred thousand dollars." Li Wen asked with a smile.
Li Wen just looked through the decorations of the airplane and fell in love with them even more. He couldn't wait to own an airplane in advance.
"Here, Mr. Li, I have to go back and discuss this with the chairman." Mendel was a little embarrassed.
"Mr. Mendel, you don't have to be embarrassed. As long as the plane is good, I will order ten for leasing."
I think with this condition, your chairman will not disagree!" Li Wen stared at Mendel and said with a smile.
As soon as Li Weng finished speaking, Mendel and even Mike on the side were shocked. This is simply too shocking! Ten private jets, this is not just a matter of fifty or sixty million US dollars.
"Mr. Li, please don't make such a joke! I have a heart disease, and it's easy for me to get sick if you act like this." Mendel exclaimed, covering his heart.
"I'm not kidding, I am optimistic about the private jet rental market, so as long as your company satisfies me, I can pay the deposit in advance for this order." Li Wen looked at Mike with a smile.
Mike immediately understood what Levin meant.
"Don't worry, Mendel. There is no doubt about Mr. Li's financial strength, and we at Goldman Sachs can guarantee him." Mike's chest clapped loudly.
In fact, Mike is also happy! They, managers of investment banks, often act as pick-up customers.
