Lin Zhichao visited He Xian again and expressed the hope to purchase another 3,000 taels of gold from He'an Gold Company.
As the only legal importer of gold in Omen, He'an Gold naturally needs distributors. Yangtze Silver has become a major player in the gold and silver trading market, and it has this qualification.
He Xian looked at the young Lin Zhichao and couldn't help but admire his courage. You must know that Hang Seng Bank only wholesales 3,000 to 5,000 taels once. Of course, the frequency of Hang Seng Bank must be higher.
"There is no problem with 3,000 taels of gold, but the price has been a little higher recently. You should understand if you are speculating in gold."
Since the beginning of the year, most people have seen clearly that the Jiang Dynasty is over. As wealthy people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai arrived in Hong Kong, they carried large amounts of gold and silver with them, which turned into a 'gold fever'. Things developed.
Up to now, these rich people are no longer simply cashing out or arbitraging gold, but are participating in gold speculation.
Lin Zhichao immediately said cheerfully: "You have the final say on the price. My purpose of buying gold is not to alert the market, so it doesn't matter if the cost is higher."
Anyway, this is my last gold purchase, just buy it, it will always be cheaper than the market.
The total cost of the gold purchased last time, including transportation fees and miscellaneous expenses, was less than 450 Hong Kong dollars per tael. However, the price of gold currently on the market fluctuates at 480 Hong Kong dollars per tael.
He Xian immediately said: "If you don't raise the price of gold, how can you make the price of gold in your hands rise?"
You know, he likes the surge in gold at the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Trade Market, so that his wholesale price can also increase. Lin Zhichao's actions are obviously not in his own interests.
Fortunately, it is only 3,000 taels of gold. Considering the great prospects of young people, it is just an investment. But next time, it will depend on the performance of the gold and silver trading center.
Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Of course I still have some funds in my hand, but I have to ride the east wind to speculate in gold. As far as I know, the JF Army's cross-river battle will start soon, and the G Army will completely lose its country by then. In this environment
Don't worry, He Sheng, Hong Kong's gold will be speculated."
What he said was not considered confidential information. After all, the battle across the Yangtze River would have to be fought sooner or later, and the G Army had almost lost the Central Plains area.
He Xian was immediately touched, thinking that this young man was not a simple man, he knew how to use war to cash out gold. At the same time, he also understood the truth that gold can rise, but it can also plummet.
Therefore, speculating in gold is not a sure win!
Of course, gold merchants from Guangdong Province can increase their chances of success by importing cheap gold from him. Gold merchants from Shanghai fell into the trap and speculated on gold one after another. Little did they know that the gold they obtained was cheap gold imported from South Africa; in the event of a war,
When the situation subsides, gold will plummet, and by then the outcome will be decided.
Of course, none of this is his business.
In the end, Lin Zhichao imported 3,000 taels of gold at a price of HK$445 per tael.
Next, the gold needs to be melted in Omen and smuggled to Hong Kong. Fortunately, everyone is already familiar with all this and can complete it quickly and smoothly.
Not long after Lin Zhichao left, He Tian came to place an order for gold on behalf of Hang Seng Bank.
"Brother, our Hang Seng Bank plans to order 20,000 taels of gold this time?" He Tian said on a whim.
The gold order was ordered by He Shanheng, but the amount he ordered was a last-minute decision, usually three to four thousand taels of gold. Although he ordered so much this time, He Tian had no worries about cashing out.
He Xian was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Boss, why did you suddenly order so much this time?"
He Tian smiled and said: "I don't know what happened, but I suddenly wanted to order more. Recently, the group of Shanghai-based Weishui guys have been speculating in gold. I think they want to speculate in gold, so I might as well order more.
"
He Xian nodded and said: "For 20,000 taels, the warehouse is not enough, there is a lot. However, there is still gold on the sea and it will arrive in port soon. I will leave you with the Hang Seng Silver Number."
He Tian immediately became curious. You must know that He'an Gold is very wealthy and usually imports a large amount of gold. Although 20,000 taels is a lot, the warehouse is much different, which is obviously a strange thing.
"Is someone ordering your gold in bulk?"
The two are half-brothers, and He Shanheng, the boss of Hang Seng Bank, and He Xian have been colleagues and friends for many years. This private question can naturally be asked.
He Xian nodded and said: "Someone recently ordered 11,000 taels of gold at a time!"
He Tian took a breath and then asked: "I know that the major Hong Kong gold merchants under He'an Company cannot have such an appetite recently. Are they overseas gold merchants?"
At the same time, because of everyone's relationship, He'an Company took care of the Hang Seng Bank account first.
He Xian said: "A very outstanding young man! Seeing that there was plenty of gold, I sold it to him to make a friend. Who would have thought that you would suddenly import 20,000 taels. If you had come earlier, I would definitely not sell it.
His last 3,000 taels of gold."
A person immediately came to He Tian's mind, a person who had recently disappeared from the gold and silver trading market.
"Lin Zhichao!"
He Xian could only nod. Although it was important to keep customer information confidential, now that his elder brother had guessed it, it was no longer his problem.
"It's indeed him! I said he had millions of Hong Kong dollars in capital, and now gold is booming, so he suddenly disappeared. I didn't expect him to come and contact you. It's a good idea."
Changjiang Bank has always been a big speculator in the gold and silver trading market. Among the nearly two hundred members, it can be ranked among the top ten. Hang Seng Bank will naturally pay attention to them.
Seeing this, He Tian was even more determined to order 20,000 taels of gold, which was a very wise decision.
At the same time, he even planned to go back to discuss and order 30,000 taels of gold from He'an Gold Company to directly influence the market. With everyone's relationship, it would not be difficult for Hang Seng Bank to do it.
"Brother, don't agree to other people's orders for gold these days. I'll go back and discuss it, and plan to take another 30,000 taels of gold. I'll give you an answer later!"
He Xian said in surprise: "50,000 taels of gold, are you so optimistic about the market outlook? Moreover, if it is so much, it will take more than a month to deliver it."
He Tian nodded and said: "Now Shanghai-based gold merchants and bankers are taking advantage of it and investing in gold speculation in large quantities. It's time to cash out to them. As for time, brother, please do your best!"
"Well, in this case, we can only turn away some other customers! I didn't expect that young man to have such a vision!"
Hang Seng Bank not only has a good relationship, but is also an ideal big customer for cashing out, so it is natural for He Xian to take care of him.
He Tian smiled and said: "He has a very good vision, otherwise he would not have created such a foundation at such a young age."
He Xian nodded!
As soon as he saw Lin Zhichao, he felt confident in him.
One week later.
On April 12, the Hong Kong government announced that it would cancel the free trade of gold and would no longer approve the import of gold. The "99 Gold" at the Gold and Silver Trading Center has been canceled by July, and only 94% industrial gold is allowed to be traded.
The Hong Kong government issued a decree in accordance with the requirements of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Agreement to restrict the trading of pure gold. Because the "Bretton Woods System" in which the U.S. dollar and gold are linked is related to the hegemony of the U.S. dollar, Hong Kong and the mainland are speculating on gold.
It was obviously not in line with the profits of the United States, so the International Monetary Fund put pressure on the Hong Kong government to ban the trading of pure gold.
At the same time, after World War II, Portugal was not a member of the IMF and did not have to fulfill its obligations to restrict the sale of pure gold. Businessmen importing gold in Macau were not restricted as long as they paid import taxes to the government.
"Gold is going to soar! Gold is going to grow like crazy!"
This was Lin Zhichao's first reaction after seeing the newspaper news.
To be honest, this news was unexpected to him. Although he knew that the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange would not restart pure gold trading until the 1970s, he did not know when the pure gold trading was banned.
"The more we prevent the buying and selling of pure gold, the more crazy everyone will be in the end!"
"At the same time, starting from the battle of crossing the river in April, NJ and Shanghai have JF, which will also stimulate the rise of Hong Kong gold."
Soon, Lin Zhichao made a decision, and he would finally have money rolling in soon.
The price of gold will soar to 600 Hong Kong dollars per tael, or even 700 Hong Kong dollars per tael. This is his inner price.
"What good news!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Caiyun leaned against Lin Zhichao and looked at the newspaper curiously.
Lin Zhichao put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's good news. It's good news that I made money. But for your emotional stability, I won't analyze it for you. In short, I made a lot of money."
.”
"Well, thank you husband!" Tang Caiyun said sweetly.
Money is a good thing, and she now knows the importance of money.
For example, her parents complained that everything in Hong Kong was expensive and money was not spent well.
At the same time, Tang Caiyun is also looking forward to moving into a single-family garden house in the mid-levels.
"By the way, husband, the baby is about to be born. Have you chosen a name yet?" Tang Caiyun blinked her eyes, a rich smile appearing on her face.
This woman has a handsome face!
Thinking that the child will be born in June or July, Lin Zhichao was also very excited and said: "I have thought about the name! If it is a boy, it will be called Lin Ruihuan; if it is a girl, it will be called Lin Yaying."
Tang Caiyun immediately said: "I think it's a boy!"
The Lin family is small, so boys are naturally very important.
"Don't think too much about this, our bodies are so good, we just need to have more children! Both men and women!" Lin Zhichao said generously.
The so-called generosity comes from his confidence in his body. As long as he is in good health, it is not easy to have as many children as he wants. Tang Caiyun can have as many children as he wants, and there is also Tang Caiying!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!
Tang Caiying came to the Lin family wearing the uniform of Banshan Girls' School and immediately gained a lot of honor. Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiner came out wearing the school uniform and gained glory again.
Tang Caiying and Lin Xiner are both young girls and beauties. The uniform of Banshan Girls' School is a white skirt with a yellow belt around the waist and a yellow schoolbag that is like a small suitcase.
Yes, square and square.
Seeing the school uniforms of the two girls, Lin Zhichao had an idea.
However, Tang Caiyun is still pregnant, so it will definitely not look good on her. We will talk about it in the second half of the year.
Seeing Lin Zhichao staring at the two students, Tang Caiyun couldn't help but pinch Lin Zhichao gently to show his attention. It's OK to look at it, but you can't look directly at it. Girls can't be so thick-skinned!
"Hey, I have grown up! When I saw Xin'er and Caiying, I realized that I have been in Hong Kong for several years!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile.
Tang Caiying just felt that her brother-in-law's eyes were 'cannibalistic', so she immediately counterattacked: "Do you feel that you are old? You envy our youth and vitality!"
Lin Xiner immediately defended her brother and said, "No way! My brother is only 21 years old, which is 5 years older than us."
She didn't feel anything strange about the way her brother looked at her. Sometimes she dressed beautifully and wanted to be recognized by her brother.
"Traitor!" Tang Caiying said to Lin Xiner.
Lin Xiner ignored her, and Tang Caiying suddenly thought that Lin Xiner was always protecting her brother.
Next, nothing happened to anyone, it was just a small episode.
Tang Caiying has a lively personality but a very generous heart, and she quickly becomes as if nothing is wrong.
However, Lin Zhichao remembered something and had a private chat with his sister when he had time, asking her to be his insider and try to give her another sister-in-law.
In the morning, Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Bank and discussed the gold situation with Li Shauji. Both of them agreed that gold would rise sharply this time.
"Don't the Yangtze River Bank still have more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in funds? If you take it in and out quickly, it can be used as a cover."
Li Zhaoji immediately understood Lin Zhichao's idea, which was to release smoke bombs to give people the impression that they only had hundreds of thousands of operating funds; at the same time, fast in and fast out could also make the market more active to a certain extent.
As long as gold rises, it doesn't matter if the more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars are at a loss! Of course, losing money is also very difficult, because Lee Shau Kee feels that the boss seems to have a price in mind, and he will retreat quickly when he reaches that price.
"Okay, I will make good use of this fund!"
Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction. Li Shauji helped him a lot. Of course, he also gave Li Shauji a sufficient commission.
"By the way, Shau Kee. You are now considered to be wealthy and you can consider moving your family to Hong Kong."
Lee Shau Kee smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, my father may not be willing to do it. He likes Shunde and it's hard to leave his hometown!"
Lin Zhichao said a few more words, and Li Zhaoji's expression changed drastically, and he nodded seriously.
"Thanks for the advice, boss! I'll write to you and give you some advice."
"Well, I'm just guessing. After all, rich people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai all have this kind of worry."
Lee Shau Kee once again expressed his gratitude!
If it were anyone else, Lin Zhishan would not be too troublesome, but now Lee Shau Kee is the person he wants to support and has helped himself make a lot of money, so it doesn't matter if he gives a few words.
As for whether Li Jiepu comes or not, that depends on his fate!
In the previous life, the three Li brothers, Li Siu-lin and Li Shau-kee, all became billionaires, but the third one was just a retired worker. If there was no resentment in his heart at that time - Li Jiepu left him to take care of him in his old age, it is probably impossible. But after getting old, he has already
After seeing through it, and since it was open at that time, the two brothers would definitely take care of him and his children.
Lin Zhichao also called a relative at the beginning of the year, that is, his uncle's family, and finally invited him to Hong Kong in the name of making money. Then he arranged for Cheung Kong Industries in Tsuen Wan to work as workers and security guards.
This is a test. If they can work conscientiously, they will be supported in the future. If it is a relative who messes around, Lin Zhichao will fall out quickly.
He actually doesn't have any feelings, but considering that he is a biological uncle, he takes care of him.
In the morning, the gold at the Gold and Silver Trading Office really soared, and everyone joined in the gold speculation. After all, Hong Kong will ban pure gold trading in less than three months. This is like the final madness.
At the same time, the Central Plains was reduced to a JF zone, and the battle to cross the Yangtze River was about to begin. Gold merchants and financial circles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai joined in the gold speculation.
Hang Seng Silver.
"This Lin Zhichao is very powerful. He actually bought 11,000 taels of gold in advance at the right time. It seems that he made a lot of profits this time!" He Tian said happily.
Why are you happy?
Of course, I am not happy that Lin Zhichao has made a lot of money, but that Hang Seng Silver has made a lot of money. Because Hang Seng Silver has ordered 45,000 taels of gold in advance. Although a large part has not been delivered, the deposit has been paid and the price has been fixed.
He Shanheng nodded and said: "It's indeed amazing! But you originally wanted to order 50,000 taels of gold, but because he was one step ahead, you ended up missing 5,000 taels!" After saying that, he looked at He Tian with a smile.
He'an Gold Company's gold also needs to be purchased from South Africa, and it is impossible to increase the amount all at once. So Lin Zhichao suddenly purchased 11,000 taels of gold, and many Cantonese gold merchants would reduce their share.
Hang Seng Bank has an advantage due to its strong relationship. If gold rises first, He Xian will never readily supply him with so much.
So, Lin Zhichao got lucky this time.
"I didn't think so much! This time we ordered 45,000 taels. It was all on my whim, so I am very satisfied. Brother Shan, how much do you think gold will rise this time?"
Since the founder and helmsman of Hang Seng Bank, Lam Bing-yam, passed away in February, Ho Sin-heng has become the new helmsman.
He Shanheng thought for a while and said: "It is estimated to be a big rise, and it is uncertain how much it can rise. However, we have the advantage of importing gold. There is no reason to wait for it to rise as much as possible before selling off. At the same time, we can almost control the market in the future.
, it’s time for us to lead the gold rally.”
After all, he is not a prophet, so how can he predict how much gold will rise?
However, Hang Seng Bank already controls the import of gold, and he is the chairman of the Gold and Silver Trading Center, so his strength can be said to be able to control the market.
that day.
The gold and silver trading office was bustling with people.
Gold merchants from Guangdong who had channels for importing gold began to drive up the price of gold, while gold merchants from Shanghai also joined the queue of raising gold prices because they were not familiar with the market.
In short, just like the bull market in later generations, everyone only knows that gold will rise and rise.
A gold trader stood in the middle of the patio. As soon as he finished making gestures, everyone immediately dispersed as soon as they saw that it meant selling. It can be seen that the skyrocketing price of gold is inevitable.
Ashan finally managed to grab 5 lots, but had no choice but to quit unwillingly because the company had no money. Of course, he admired his boss's wise decision and bought a lot of gold from Aomen.
If this situation continues, the boss will not be able to make millions of Hong Kong dollars?
"Brother Shan, why don't you have any money? Tell your boss to hurry up and raise funds. Gold is going to rise sharply!"
"Nonsense, who told you that you have no money!"
"Tch, you're still being tough. Your boss has been in trouble recently. There are a lot of new Wei Shui guys, especially those from Shanghai. All of them are super rich!"
The richer the better, Ashan thought to himself.
Indeed, Shanghai businessmen are too rich, but little do they know that they have been targeted by Cantonese businessmen.
Of course, although Cantonese businessmen are united and have local advantages, they are still talking about business and will not directly rob.
For example, everyone tacitly bids up the price of gold and lets Shanghai-based gold dealers take over. This is also business talk and is a legal method.
