Chapter 94 [Smuggling Gold] (First order 2200! One more update!)

March.

Spring is chilly and rainy.

On the second floor of the Yangtze River Bank, Lee Shau Kee sat in his office and glanced at the phone on the table from time to time. His mood was just like the weather, which was not good.

In the past two months, Yangtze Bank's gold speculation funds only increased by 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, barely reaching 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which made him feel that he had betrayed his boss's trust.

Of course, the main reason is that the price of gold has fluctuated greatly in the past two months. Its price has been fluctuating in the range of 430 to 500 Hong Kong dollars per tael. Since the price of gold hit 500 Hong Kong dollars per tael at the end of last year, gold has never reached that level again.

500 Hong Kong dollars per tael.

At the same time, Li Shau Kee and his brother Li Zhaolin teamed up to smuggle gold from Omen and cash it out at the gold and silver trading market. Under this operation, his own wealth actually increased by more than 10%.

Therefore, Lee Shau Kee felt a little embarrassed. After all, if it weren't for the support of his boss, he would not have the net worth of more than 100,000 yuan today.

"Jingle bell"

The phone rang, and Lee Shau Kee immediately picked it up and answered it.

"Shopkeeper Li, the price of gold has risen to 466 Hong Kong dollars per tael. It is suspected that Hang Seng Bank and Chaoji Gold Dealers bought many lots."

Li Shauji frowned. Recently, everyone has begun to be wary of the Yangtze River Bank. It is difficult to capture detailed information.

"Let's buy five lots first and try the waters!"

As the order was issued, Ah Jin from the gold and silver trading center notified Ah Shan to buy gold.

5 lots of gold is not a lot, just over 200,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the Yangtze River Bank has enough funds to buy more than 70 lots of gold.

Ashan quickly bought five lots, but he was already being targeted.

A telephone operator immediately reported to his boss: "Boss, the Yangtze River Bank has entered the market, and the price of gold has begun to rise."

A mandarin accent came from the opposite side: "Okay, we will follow up and buy in immediately, and we will buy 10 lots. We must act quickly."

"no problem!"

When the news reached the Yangtze River Bank again, Lee Shau-kee frowned. The price of gold rose a bit too fast.

"You and Ashan swap, let Ashan connect the line, and Ah Jin, go and buy 10 lots of gold. If you have any specific situation, tell me immediately!"

"Okay, Shopkeeper Li!"

Lee Shau Kee felt that they seemed to be targeted by many people, as a kind of market vane, or as a target.

In fact, although Yangtze Bank is a high-roller in the gold and silver trade market, it is not ranked among the top five, but it can be ranked among the top five in terms of attention it receives. The reason is very simple, that is, Yangtze Industry adopts buying and selling methods.

to find ways to make a profit.

Hang Seng Bank, Guangdong-based gold merchants, etc., mainly smuggled gold from Austria, eliminating the need to inhale large amounts of gold, thus attracting relatively little attention.

At the gold and silver trading market, Ah Shan and Ah Jin switched positions. Both of them are gold traders and are very skilled in the business. In normal times, Ah Shan is usually the gold trader and Ah Jin is the telephone operator.

This time A Jin ran to the gold trader in the middle of the patio, and was quickly tapped twice on the shoulder, which made his blood boil. This meant that he had bought nearly 90,000 gold. Although he only bought it on behalf of the company, he still

Very excited.

"This Ah Shan must be very passionate about what he does normally. Today I have a rare opportunity. It feels really good!" Ah Jin thought to himself.

I must be a little envious of Ah Shan, who can often stand in the middle of the patio, as if he is in the middle of the stage. But in fact, their salaries are about the same, and their shares are also similar. Although Ah Jin is a telephone operator, he is responsible for keeping an eye on the audience.

Players' tasks.

In any case, the two of them earned an income of six to seven thousand yuan last year and are considered senior management talents in Hong Kong. Therefore, they work very hard and are very loyal to the company. However, in the past two months, the Yangtze River Bank has not made any money.

Naturally, people don't get much commission, and they are suddenly worried about their boss.

After standing in the middle of the patio twice, someone soon discovered the "dirty trick" of the Yangtze River Bank.

"Boss, the Yangtze River Bank has taken in a lot of gold again, and even specially changed the gold trading hands!"

Ashan looked at the operator next to him and said immediately: "Is there any mistake? Why are you staring at us? Just let our company do it for you!"

The operator was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Yangtze River Bank's phone number was next to him, and he was immediately embarrassed.

"I'm just going to report the information on the field, brother, don't be angry!"

"cut"

Ashan was also helpless. After all, if others didn't break the rules, this would be the most he could do.

at the same time.

Hang Seng Bank and other companies holding smuggled gold have also begun to cash out gold. The gold they smuggled is relatively cheap. Now that someone is raising the price, they are naturally very happy to cash out.

The Yangtze River Bank unknowingly became a "worker leopard", raising the sales price for the gold smuggled from Austria.

Lin Zhichao came to the second floor of the Yangtze River Bank, and after checking the accounts, he felt a little disappointed; the Yangtze River Bank did not make any money from gold speculation in January and February, almost no profit or loss.

Lee Shau Kee is also a little embarrassed. After all, his dividend last year was as high as 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now he has not made any money for his boss, which is obviously not good.

However, Lin Zhichao immediately adjusted his mentality and said: "It is very good to be able to stay even in a turbulent environment. If you don't lose, you will make a profit!"

In the past two months, gold has fluctuated very much, fluctuating in the range of 430 to 500 Hong Kong dollars per tael. The key is that the overall price has not risen. So if it stays the same, Lin Zhichao can understand it.

Lee Shau Kee explained: "Our current amount of funds is too large, and the target is relatively obvious, so whether we buy or sell, it will cause following the trend or targeting. In addition, the market has been unstable in the past two months, so Yangtze River Bank has not

Make money."

Perhaps he was worried that Lin Zhichao would be dissatisfied and felt that he had betrayed Lin Zhichao's trust. Li Shauji added a few words: "Boss, my brother Li Zhaolin and I recently bought gold in Omen and brought it to Hong Kong. I used the same operating method and made a profit."

More than 10%. I think the Yangtze River Bank now has a large amount of funds, so it can consider buying gold from Omen, then transporting it to Hong Kong in batches, and then taking the opportunity to cash out."

Lin Zhichao immediately thought about Li Shauji's words:

He has some very useful information, such as the liberation of NJ in April and the liberation of SH in May, which will cause gold to rise sharply. This is because a large number of wealthy people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai come to Hong Kong, and they bring a large amount of gold; at the same time, these places

Gold merchants and financial circles have participated in gold speculation, which will increase the price of gold.

Gold is a tradable asset. The idea of ​​these rich people is that if things go wrong, they will use Hong Kong as a springboard to immigrate overseas. Therefore, they have a unique love for gold.

Even the citizens of Hong Kong almost have this mentality. If they don’t save money, they save gold, silver, and jewelry. Although there are many banks in this era, many of them are speculating in gold and foreign exchange.

It is precisely because of these reasons that the gold prices in the Mainland and Hong Kong fluctuate greatly, and they are outside the "Bretton Woods System". In other places overseas, the gold price is linked to the US dollar. Of course, they also have black markets, and the gold price also fluctuates.

(The peninsula war will cause great fluctuations), but not as huge as Hong Kong and the mainland.

Based on the information in his mind, Lin Zhichao felt that he only needed to do something big to get out of gold speculation.

Gold will skyrocket after April and May, climbing to more than 600 Hong Kong dollars. This is Lin Zhichao's guess.

Therefore, he only needs to smuggle "cheap gold" from Omen, and then cash it out in June and July, and he can make a profit of millions in one fell swoop.

Since he was importing physical gold, the risk was almost zero. Of course, there were other risks, namely the risk of maritime smuggling, but considering that it could be smuggled in batches, the risk was something he could bear.

Of course, there must be enough trusted people to help him do these things.

Otherwise, it would be completely impossible for him to achieve it alone.

"How much does it cost to import gold in Omen?"

Hearing Lin Zhichao's heart-warming question, Lee Shau Kee immediately said: "They set the price based on an average of recent gold prices in Hong Kong. Of course, the price is still lower than this average. After all, Hong Kong gold merchants have to bear risks and also need profits. For example,

The recent gold price is 440 Hong Kong dollars per tael, and there are discounts for large quantities."

The Aomen "He'an" Gold Company obtained the patent right to operate gold through Luo Bao. The company is mainly run by He Xian, and they have a monopoly on overseas gold import channels.

As for why He'an didn't cash out from the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Trade Market, this is of course because without Hang Seng Bank and Guangdong-based gold merchants, Hong Kong's gold wouldn't have been able to rise. Without anyone speculating, the price would naturally not be high.

What's more, Hong Kong is Hong Kong, and Omen is Omen. If you walk sideways in Omen, you have to lie down in Hong Kong, and vice versa.

Therefore, 'He'an' sells gold to major gold dealers and banks in Omen, and they only earn part of the profit. The profit is not low, and African gold is still very cheap.

And ‘He’an’ pays US$1.5 million in patent fees to Macau every year, as well as more than US$7,000 in social welfare donations.

Lin Zhichao asked again: "Do you think it is possible for me to import a large amount of gold from He'an, such as ten thousand taels?"

If you want to do it, go big, too small is not worth it!

Li Zhaoji thought for a while and said: "I know He Xian and can introduce it to the boss. After confirming the information, the boss will consider this matter. The main reason is that the boss's quantity is large. If it is a few thousand taels, he may be sure of success.

.”

Lin Zhichao was not surprised that Li Shauji knew He Xian. He Xian was from Panyu, but he did business in Shunde at that time. In addition, the two places are relatively close to each other, so it is not wrong to say that they are in the same area. Including Hang Seng Bank,

Several founders are either from Panyu or Shunde.

In his previous life, Lee Shau Kee, through his brother, Uncle Shi, followed He Xian's path and made a lot of money speculating in gold for three years.

"Your brother Li Zhaolin, are you willing to help me? My idea is that you two brothers will still join this team, but this time I will only give you 1% of the profit commission, plus a fixed salary."

Gold needs to be melted in Omen and then cast into large yellow croaker, so Omen needs a place to stay.

Lee Shau Kee immediately said: "The boss has been kind to me. In addition, the boss is not speculating this time, so he doesn't need to give me 1%. As for my brother, I believe he will do it. I can introduce him to

You know him."

Lin Zhichao then smiled and said: "Okay, let's make an appointment to have a meal together. The share will be 1%. After all, my purchase price is ten thousand taels. As long as I make one transaction, the profit may reach hundreds of thousands. You two brothers, the main thing is
