Chapter 202： Gold and Silver II

Like silver futures, gold also saw a particularly big gain in January 1980. Although not as crazy as silver, it is a feast for any speculator.

Bao Zixuan just wanted to take advantage of this incident of the Henke family forcing the position of silver, and then drive the entire precious metal market to become unstable and make a speculation. The price of silver could reach $50 an ounce by January 1980, and the price of gold was more than $700 an ounce. What a huge profit margin this is, it is scary and heartwarming to think about it.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Bao Zixuan has to stay in the United States for a year. After all, in January 1980, he must be here to keep an eye on him, and he will not be assured of anyone who arranges it here.

In the conference room of the Wall Street Blackstone Fund, Bao Zixuan saw that everyone was in a good state of mind. After all, everyone, including the security guards, got a big bonus, which they couldn't earn in ten years of work.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "How was your holiday, everyone! I saw that some people were dark, did they get sunburned after staying at the beach for too long? But this is a normal thing, and now your holiday is over. , is it possible to start work?"

Clay-Clark: "Boss, we've been waiting for your call."

Bao Zixuan: "It's still the old rules, but this time our time may be longer, about 6 to 9 months. After the participants signed the non-disclosure agreement, they will receive 200,000 US dollars of settlement fee first, and the bonus will be distributed after the operation is completed. .I'm not a stingy person, you guys can make a choice now."

All 10 people signed the non-disclosure agreement without hesitation. Not everyone can meet such a boss. Bao Zixuan's generosity is famous in the industry, and now it has spread not only in the technology circle, but also in the financial circle.

After signing the non-disclosure agreement, everyone started calling home. After knowing that there is another big action, this time the family is very understanding. Last time, it brought a generous salary, and this group of people bought houses and cars.

Bao Zixuan: "According to reliable information now, the American Henke family is long in silver. They want to double the price of silver on the existing basis, and the price of silver will rise, and then gold will certainly rise."

Clay-Clark: "Boss, the price of gold is very understandable, and the price of silver is very high now. Is it too late if we enter the market at this time."

Bao Zixuan: "It's okay, we have the Henke family in front of us, we just have some soup. There is still 1 billion US dollars in the account, and 500 million US dollars are respectively used to go long gold and silver."

This time, I will draw funds from Heiyun for the security deposit. If it doesn’t work, I can sell Motorola’s shares.

In fact, these fund managers now admire Bao Zixuan, the boss, since the announcement of the purchase contract between Heiyun and Motorola. Motorola's stock price rose like a rocket. The $500 million shares purchased at the time have now reached $800 million, a 60% increase; and there's plenty of room for upside.

Clay-Clark: "Boss, we use several times financial leverage."

Bao Zixuan: "Five times, silver and gold futures are not as big as oil. Too much and we will become bookmakers, which is not in line with our philosophy."

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. They were afraid that the boss didn't know anything and wanted to eat a fat man in one bite.

Clay-Clark: "Boss, the main market for precious metal futures is in Chicago, and New York is only a small part. It is not very convenient for us here. It is safer for some people to go to Chicago."

Bao Zixuan: "Don't worry, it has been arranged. The Blackstone Fund branch next to the Chicago Futures Exchange has been renovated. You will send 5 people to go there, and the security personnel will also go with you."

The Chicago Blackstone Fund Branch was purchased by Bao Zixuan when he went to Motorola, and it is only less than one kilometer away from the futures market. It used to be a fund company, but it went bankrupt after an operational error. The property was bought by Bao Zixuan, and it was also handed over to Larry Brown's legal team to find and operate it on his behalf.

Hearing that the boss has arranged everything, what else is there to say. Just do what they ask, and to be honest they are still very satisfied with their current life. With high salaries and high benefits and benefits, sometimes the work is not very free, but it is normal for professional managers engaged in fund work. Every manager on Wall Street will conduct closed management when carrying out large projects. and operation. After all, everyone holds tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in stocks or futures.

Bao Zixuan continued, "Clay, you will choose 4 people to fight in Chicago. That will be our main battlefield."

After arranging everything, Bao Zixuan left Wall Street. He wants to go back to school, Martin Griff and Romansky are back long ago, and now the university planning is complete, just waiting for his final decision, and also a trip to Detroit, the car has been produced, the Jeep's The Grand Cherokee, Compass, and Black Cloud 1-Series sedan have all started testing, and if there are no problems, they will participate in the Frankfurt Auto Show at the end of September.

Huo Yingdong has passed the news to Bao Zixuan through Heiyun staff, hoping that he can return to Xiangjiang at the end of July. Ask him to go to the mainland with him, mainly to see if there are any projects that can be invested in Shenhai City. What has been promised before, not to mention Bao Zixuan knows that investing in the mainland will definitely not lose money, this is the time when gold is everywhere.

I will arrive in Berlin in early September to participate in the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show. Fortunately, there is some time difference between the two exhibitions, otherwise it is really difficult to arrange the time.

Heiyun Group did not have any special recommendations for new products at the Berlin Consumer Electronics Show, but every product has been upgraded and transformed, and its strength should not be underestimated.

Now Black Cloud's product line is very rich, at least in electronic products. Except for the shortcomings of home appliances, the rest of the development is relatively balanced This time, it is mainly to improve the product production line.

When Bao Zixuan returned to the MIT dormitory, he saw that the living room was full of blueprints. This time, the two top MIT students were exhausted. They worked in Xiangjiang for almost half a year. Moreover, he basically stayed in the Tianshuiwei area during the day for half a year, and only at night would he return to the Black Cloud Group to rectify the drawings. Fortunately, the logistical support of the Heiyun staff was in place, otherwise these two boys would really suffer.

After seeing Bao Zixuan come back, Romansky said: "Bao, this time you have to give us two bonus bonuses, you don't know how we have been through these months. The place is too big, and Martin is another one. Perfectionist. We checked every detail carefully, and now it is guaranteed to be foolproof.”

Bao Zixuan took the general plan and looked at it, because he wanted to build an aviation major. Therefore, there is an airport runway specially designed for aircraft in the school, which makes the school area very large. It has reached 20,000 acres, of which 8,000 acres are dedicated to aerospace.

Bao Zixuan: "I said two people, is $1 billion enough! According to your plan and design."

Martin-Griff: "The construction doesn't cost much, and it can be done with a maximum of 500 million US dollars. It depends on what equipment you want to add to the school. I think with the strength of the Black Cloud Group, you will be able to produce it yourself by then. $10 is enough."

Bao Zixuan: "Since you said enough, let's build according to this plan. Either don't do it, and if you want to do it, build the best university."

In fact, Bao Zixuan already has an idea in his mind. When he and Huo Yingdong go to the mainland together this time, he can ask the construction team from the mainland to come and do the construction, which can save a lot of money and allow the mainland to earn more foreign exchange. This is a win-win strategy. .
