He Tian came to He Shanheng's office and said: "Brother Shan, do you remember the Lin Zhichao I told you about?"
He Shanheng raised his head with an interested expression on his face and said: "I remember you said that Lin Zhichao exchanged gold with you twice in a row at the beginning of last year and received more than 270,000 Hong Kong dollars. With this wealth, he founded
After joining Cheung Kong Real Estate, he made a splash in the real estate industry last year. Now he is probably worth over one million Hong Kong dollars. He is a real estate wizard."
Nowadays, there are rumors outside that Lin Zhichao started his business with more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, because the initial investment in the first real estate project was the land fee plus the first construction fee, which was almost more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
As for the latter, they are all wonderful "empty wolf" stories. Almost no one knows that Lin Zhichao invested another 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in real estate, namely the "Telford Garden" on Ferry Street. Many people may think that Lin Zhichao
It is the funds withdrawn from the 'Lantian Yayuan' project.
He Tian nodded and said: "Come to think of it, the first time someone sold gold, it was under the name of Mr. Shan. It just so happened that this time, he wanted to invite us both for a cup of tea."
He Shanheng fell into thinking. Lin Zhichao was certainly qualified to invite the two of them, but what was his purpose?
Soon, he said: "Is it because you want to 'speculate in gold' and want to become a member of the Gold and Silver Trading Center?"
He Tian suddenly realized that Lin Zhichao had invited him to tea several times since he sold the gold, but the two had no business contacts. Now, the purpose of inviting He Shanheng to tea in his name was obvious.
"It should be! This young man is not simple. Seeing that gold speculation can be profitable, I'm afraid he is targeting him."
He Shanheng said with a smile: "There is nothing wrong with attracting him to become a member of the gold and silver trading house. After all, he is strong enough and has two hens that lay golden eggs. However, he is not a Chaozhou merchant and has united fellow villagers;
We also don’t have channels to import gold in Austria, so I’m afraid that if I rashly join in gold speculation, I may not be able to achieve my dreams. If we suffer huge losses in the future, this friend will be in dire straits.”
He knew that He Tian and Lin Zhichao had a personal relationship, so he said this.
He Tian said: "We can just tell him about this risk. After all, he is also a figure in the business world and he is responsible for his success or failure."
Soon, He Shanheng said: "Okay! I'm also very curious about this young talent, so let's meet him together."
He Shanheng is the chairman of the Gold and Silver Exchange and the person who presides over the Hang Seng Bank gold speculation.
Hang Seng Bank has strong allies in Macau - He Xian and Luo Bao. Among them, He Xian and He Shanheng were once colleagues, and He Xian was also the half-brother of He Tian; Luo Bao was raised by a Portuguese in Macau.
The Chinese son is the director of the Economic Bureau and is a powerful figure in Macau.
These deep relationships mean that Hang Seng Bank can import a large amount of cheap gold from Europe and South Africa through Macau; they then smuggle the gold to Hong Kong and cash it out at a high price at the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Trade Market.
At the same time, Chaozhou businessmen also had channels for importing gold in Macau, and they were closely united to form a gold speculating force.
This led to the two groups of people later coincidentally raising the price of gold in the gold and silver trading market, inducing the gold merchants and financial circles in Shanghai to "take over" the deal.
In the private room of Lu Yu Tea House, Lin Zhichao invited He Shanheng and He Tian to drink tea together. He is now also a leader in the industry, and is also an outstanding businessman from Shunde, so he seems to have no shortage of connections and status.
"It's a great honor for me that these two seniors can come!" Lin Zhichao stood up and greeted them.
As soon as He Shanheng saw Lin Zhichao, he commented in his heart: "He looks talented and has an air of grandeur."
"It's amazing. It's better to meet him than to be famous. I've heard that there is a genius in the real estate industry, but it's too late to meet him now."
"You're welcome. Please sit down, both of you."
After being polite, everyone sat down.
The waiter served ten-year-old Pu'er tea for everyone, and then took his leave, knowing that everyone had something to talk about.
After chatting for a while, Lin Zhichao went straight to the topic: "I have some spare money recently, and I plan to enter the gold and silver trading market to speculate in gold, so I want to take a shortcut and join the queue at Shandao to seek a membership unit."
really!
He Shanheng and He Tian thought at the same time.
He Shanheng first advised: "I heard that Lin Sheng is doing well in the real estate industry and making a lot of money by opening a zipper factory. Why bother to go into this muddy water? To put it bluntly, speculating in gold means betting on the ups and downs, and the risks are high.
"
But he has a love for talents, not to mention he feels that if he were Lin Zhichao, he would definitely not take this risk.
He Tian also said: "What Mr. Shan said makes sense. Zhichao, you have a busy career and you may not have time to worry about these things. After all, gold speculation requires understanding external information, which is very energy-consuming."
Lin Zhichao quickly said respectfully: "Don't forget the teachings of the two seniors. But this gold speculation is actually just me spending my spare money to bet on the rise of gold, so my mentality is better than that of the speculators who are gamblers."
He Shanheng was stunned and asked: "Do you want to cash out gold from the gold and silver trading market and then bet on the price?"
Lin Zhichao replied: "This is part of the investment. I will also hire professional traders to make small and medium-sized investments. I provide general trend analysis, and traders will make specific transactions. If they make profits, I will give them bonuses, similar to stock trading in Europe and the United States."
member"
He introduced the theories of European and American stock market traders, which immediately refreshed He Shanheng and He Tian.
He Shanheng immediately asked: "Aren't you afraid that they will lose your money?"
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Traders must work hard for performance and bonuses. If they still lose money, then I can conclude that he is not an excellent trader. If I meet an excellent trader, I will give my full support."
In fact, I also got inspiration from the European and American stock industries."
He Shanheng sighed: "Brilliant! It's really not easy to be able to come up with tiered sales, installment sales, and be the first in Asia to produce automatic zipper machines. It seems that we are overthinking it!"
Lin Zhichao immediately became humble.
Afterwards, He Shanheng said: "If you want to enter the gold and silver trading center and become a member, you must meet the conditions. You only need to pay a deposit to register. However, what company do you plan to register under?"
Lin Zhichao immediately said: "I plan to set up a bank first, rent a storefront, and do some foreign exchange exchange and gold trading. Of course, I don't expect to make any money from these businesses, I just want to earn some commissions and maintain the storefront."
"Okay, it seems that you are ready. After you are ready, you can formally submit the application. Then I will guarantee it and you can successfully pass the approval of the Board of Directors of the Gold and Silver Trading Center." He Shanheng said.
Lin Zhichao expressed his thanks again!
Afterwards, with Lin Zhichao's encouragement, the three of them quickly spoke freely.
Lin Zhichao also took the opportunity to ask for advice on his experience in opening a bank account, and the two seniors also gave quick advice.
This is the trend of this era. As long as you support someone, even a peer will give you some advice; for example, Jian Dongpu gave advice to Liao Baoshan to open a bank - first open a bank account to gain experience, and then switch to a bank when the time comes; for example, later generations Bao Yugang
When he entered the shipping industry, he asked Dong Chuanwang for advice.
"Young people are formidable. It seems that you might become a great banker in the future." Seeing that Lin Zhichao has strong comprehension ability and can often draw inferences from one instance to another, He Shanheng sighed.
Lin Zhichao said calmly: "I can't open a bank because I like to borrow money from banks. If I open a bank, wouldn't it be inconvenient to get loans from banks?"
He Shanheng smiled deliberately and said: "If you open a bank, you can naturally lend to yourself!"
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Although this kind of behavior is not illegal, it destined the bank to fail and buried the root of the disaster. If the depositors knew that day that the bank lent their money to the bank boss himself, then they would still trust him
This bank. Obviously not. Then once there is any news, a large-scale run will break out. If the bank has lent out all its money, it will run out of cash if it can last for a few days. Then this bank will be finished!"
He Shanheng and He Tian were shocked. They did not expect that Lin Zhichao could point out the "pros and cons" so easily and be so far-sighted and insightful in his words.
He Shanheng sighed and said: "When we are walking together, we must have my teacher. Listening to Lin Sheng's words today makes people feel a lot."
Lin Zhichao said quickly: "Brother Shan is serious, I just said casually."
After the group separated.
He Shanheng said: "His skills are really great! But if he wants to make big money in gold, I'm afraid it will be difficult. It depends on whether he can control himself."
He Tian nodded and said: "The essence of gold speculation is to import gold from overseas and earn the price difference. This is the only way to make a steady profit without losing money."
Although they think Lin Zhichao is a good person, they are not optimistic that Lin Zhichao can make a lot of money by speculating in gold. Once Lin Zhichao becomes a gambler, he will inevitably lose money.
