He wisely did not pursue the subject further, but said, "I have a big deal for you."
"Oh? Are the negotiations in Bangzi Country not going well? It shouldn't be. You have what they need most. How could they refuse to cooperate with you?" Zhao Wanjun asked.
"The negotiations with them went very smoothly, so I will have another big deal with you."
"But this business is huge and the requirements are high. I'm not sure you can do it."
Zhao Wanjun said lazily: "In China, if there's something I can't do, it's useless to ask anyone. Let's talk about it. If I can do it, I'll do it. If I can't do it, it won't matter no matter how much money you give me."
"I just like your honest and trustworthy way of doing business."
Li Jin chuckled and said, "I have 200 tons of gold, which I need to mortgage to Neon's bank."
As soon as these words came out, there was a snapping sound from the phone. It was the sound of the phone falling and hitting the ground, followed by an exclamation.
After a while of operation, Zhao Wanjun's voice came over the phone again, "Fortunately, the phone fell outside the pool. It would have been terrible if it fell into the water. What did you just say!? 200 tons of gold? Li Jin, are you crazy?
La? Where did you get so much gold?"
Naturally, Li Jin would not tell Zhao Wanjun that he had converted almost all available funds into gold during this period.
Now, apart from the money in the stock market, the money left in Li Jin's account does not exceed 2 million.
It can be said that now is the poorest time since he started doing business.
"I didn't know that you, Miss Zhao, have the habit of asking questions when doing business." Li Jin chuckled.
You know, as an internationally accepted hard currency, gold is a strategic reserve resource in any country.
In the final analysis, a country's economic strength does not depend on how valuable its currency is, but on the size of its gold reserves.
Because once a war breaks out, currency is likely to become waste paper, and only gold is truly recognized by all humans and the entire international community.
Even now, the global economic system is still based on the gold standard.
The so-called gold standard refers to gold as the basic settlement unit.
Therefore, a large amount of gold is definitely not something that a single individual or company can obtain. This thing is a national strategic resource. No country will allow too much gold to appear in the private sector. Once it falls into the hands of interested people, it is likely to destabilize the economic system.
On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wanjun was silent for a moment.
Then she did not continue to ask Li Jin about the source of the gold.
"Does it have to be mortgaged to Neon's bank?" Zhao Wanjun asked.
Li Jin said without hesitation: "This point cannot be compromised. It must be Neon's bank, and you are also responsible for converting the mortgaged Japanese yen into US dollars or Chinese currency for me."
Zhao Wanjun was silent for a longer time this time.
A few minutes passed before Zhao Wanjun said again: "How much do you plan to mortgage for 200 tons of gold?"
"According to the current market price, gold is US$315 per ounce, and I can mortgage it at US$280 per ounce for three months," Li Jin said.
"The price is no problem, and I have the channels, but it will take time." Zhao Wanjun said with certainty.
Li Jin was secretly surprised. It seemed that Zhao Wanjun's energy was greater than he thought.
"I can give you time, but only within 24 hours." Li Jin said.
"..."
Zhao Wanjun was silent for a while, and then she heard her scream: "Li Jin, are you teasing me if you stay up until midnight?"
Li Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Why am I teasing you? Every word I say to you is true."
"According to the price of 280 US dollars per ounce, converted into Japanese yen, it is 29,400 yen, 200 tons of gold, a full 200 billion yen! It must be done within 24 hours. Do you regard me as a god or a neon leader?"
