Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 599 Start Shipping, Increase Investment (Two in One)

Tuesday afternoon, January 1.

The price of gold officially broke through the price of 600 US dollars per ounce. Vivien Kelly, Doug Gordon and Sun Yiyang began to ship according to Lin Baicheng's order, and closed their long orders.

For Lin Baicheng, if he can close his long orders above the price of 600 US dollars per ounce, he can make huge profits from this operation, and there is no need to take risks in order to make more money.

How to buy and sell, Vivien Kelly and the others are professionals, so the gold futures market did not fluctuate greatly because Lin Baicheng's long orders began to be shipped.

Because the price of gold only broke through 600 US dollars per ounce that afternoon, Lin Baicheng's long orders did not close much that day, only more than 3 million US dollars.

In fact, the more important thing is that Vivien Kelly's shipments cannot attract the attention of the market, so they can't sell too many orders at once, so there are not many long orders closed.If you don't mind the impact, you can easily close a billion-dollar long order.

As of the close of the day, the price of gold broke through the price of 610 US dollars per ounce and closed at 611.4 US dollars per ounce.

On the second day, the price of gold broke through the highest price of 630 US dollars per ounce, but then rushed up and fell back, and finally closed at 615 US dollars per ounce, an increase of less than 1% on the day.

However, on this day, Lin Baicheng's long order was evened out by more than one billion dollars.

In order not to attract attention, in order not to suppress the price of gold, Vivien Kelly and the others did not ship in large quantities.But even so, more than one billion US dollars of long orders were sold out today, and the subsequent rise and fall of gold prices has a little relationship with Lin Baicheng's more than one billion US dollars of shipments.

The futures market is actually similar to the stock market. When someone sells a large amount of stocks at a high price, if the funds received below cannot keep up, then the stock price will naturally have to choose to turn down, from rising to falling.

Speaking of which, Lin Baicheng's long orders can be flattened out more than one billion dollars in one day without attracting attention. It is also related to the current hot market. The Red Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has led a large amount of funds to choose to buy gold as a hedge. Today's daily trading volume is higher than before. several times.

With a trading volume of tens of billions of dollars a day, the shipment of more than one billion dollars is not much at all, so it will not be discovered.

If there is only a small trading volume of several billion US dollars a day, then more than one billion US dollars is not too small, not to mention that more than one billion US dollars are all sold, which will definitely drive more funds and affect the trend in a disguised form. It's hard not to be noticed.

At six o'clock that night, Lin Baicheng was still staying at the villa, and his personal secretary Catherine contacted him, saying that Phil Smith had come to New York and wanted to meet Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng didn't bring Catherine to the villa, and even the villa didn't have a landline phone, but he brought a pager, so Catherine could contact him.

In this day and age without cell phones, pagers are the means by which people can connect with other people while they are out and about.

Because he didn't need to stay here all the time, Lin Baicheng didn't refuse to meet with Phil Smith. He asked Catherine to inform Phil Smith to meet him at his apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

Lin Baicheng took the bodyguards there alone, and Moori Haruko was left behind by him.Although he believed that it would be fine to leave with Haruko Mori, and he still had a lot of bodyguards here, but at this time, keeping Haruko Mori would make him feel more at ease.

When Lin Baicheng returned to the Fifth Avenue apartment, Phil Smith hadn't come yet.

However, Lin Baicheng didn't wait long, and Phil Smith and others came over ten minutes later.That's right, Phil Smith didn't come alone this time.

"Smith! Logan! Claure!"

Phil Smith brought the two Rockefeller cousins ​​that Lin Baicheng knew, and Lin Baicheng greeted them.

Logan Rockefeller said: "Alan, I'm so sorry that I came to see you without saying anything in advance."

Crower also said, "Excuse me."

"It's nothing, the three sit here, what do you want to drink?"

Lin Baicheng greeted the three of them to sit down on the sofa.

The three of them were not polite and ordered different brands of red wine respectively.

After taking a sip of the wine, Phil Smith said, "Allen, I came to visit you suddenly, and I'll tell you straight up if I have something to say."

"You said."

Lin Baicheng nodded.

"A while ago, you took me to do long gold futures together. At that time, you only gave me a quota of 1000 million US dollars, and I believed in your judgment, Allen, so I privately took out part of the funds to go long. Now the price of gold has broken through At the price of $600/oz, I want to ask you, when are you going to ship it?"

After finishing speaking, Phil Smith did not wait for Lin Baicheng to answer, he glanced at Claure and said, "Claure also has long gold futures, so he came over when he learned that I was coming to consult with you, Alan gone."

"Oh? Claure, are you also long gold futures?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Claure Rockefeller in surprise, but he didn't know how much money Claure operated to do more.

Claure nodded with a smile: "Well, those who entered the market after Christmas and manipulated million US dollars of funds are now making a small fortune."

"It's better to earn than lose."

Nodding his head, Lin Baicheng looked at the three of them and said, "We are all friends, so I won't hide anything. For now, I'm optimistic that the price of gold can go to a higher level, so I'm going to take another look. As for It is really impossible to determine when the shipment will be made, and it must be judged based on the daily trend of gold prices.”

Logan couldn't help but said: "Still looking higher? In the recent wave, the price of gold has increased by more than 50%. This is an increase without leverage."

"It's a rare opportunity."

Lin Baicheng said: "The Hongsu invasion of Afghanistan may change the world pattern. It is not a trivial matter, so the 50% increase in gold price is not too high. I still decided to wait. I believe that there should be a breakthrough in the gold price later. , the price of more than 630 US dollars per ounce will not be the highest point."

Crower asked aloud, "Alan, do you have any suggestions?"

"This kind of thing is hard to say, there are too many possibilities that can affect the trend of gold prices."

Lin Baicheng shook his head: "If Hongsu suddenly withdraws its troops, needless to say, the price of gold will inevitably fall sharply; on the contrary, if the United States or European countries intervene, the conflict will inevitably escalate, and it will be difficult for the price of gold to stop rising. Therefore, the trend of gold prices It is too much affected by off-court factors, and we cannot predict those factors at all, so I can't give you any advice."

"Allen, it's not bad for you to say that."

Phil Smith couldn't help sighing: "The price of gold has soared and fell back today. I am worried that there will be another wave of decline in the price of gold, and I don't know whether the price of 600 US dollars per ounce can be held. The price of gold is afraid that there will be a big correction.”

Claure said with relief: "There may be a callback, but even if there is a callback, it shouldn't fall too much. Under the current market conditions, there is not much room for gold prices to fall."

Lin Baicheng agreed: "Claure is right. As long as the situation in Afghanistan does not change, even if the gold price will pull back in the short term, it will not pull back too much."

"Hearing you say that makes me feel more at ease."

Phil Smith nodded slightly. In fact, before he came to find Lin Baicheng, he had already listened to the analysis by the trader.

"Alan, I wonder if you can let us know if the long order you operate is closed?"

Claure asked aloud. In fact, he didn't need Lin Baicheng's help at all, because his father's agency in Hutchison Whampoa was monitoring those orders, and he would know once those orders started to be shipped.

Under such circumstances, Klauer still said that, mainly to let him accept Lin Baicheng's favor.Although it is necessary to return a favor for no reason, but this can bring the relationship between the two closer, and he is not without gains.

Lin Baicheng immediately said: "If I close the long order, I will inform you that there is no problem."

"Thank you, Allen."

The three thanked each other.

"you are welcome."

Lin Baicheng waved his hand: "Actually, I didn't help much. If you want me to say, Smith, you should also use leverage, right? Since you are worried that the price of gold will fall in the future, you should just level off part of it first. If the price of gold does not fall later but rises, it is nothing more than It’s just making less money. But if the price of gold does go down, you’re doing something right.”

"I'll think about it."

Phil Smith agreed, and felt that Lin Baicheng's suggestion could indeed be considered. After all, he has indeed made a lot of money now, and there is no harm in pocketing it.

The four chatted a few more words, and then stopped talking about gold futures.

Claure later said to Lin Baicheng: "Alan, I don't know what you think about the last time I said that I want to invest in Changsheng Pharmaceutical Biotechnology Company? With my investment, not only can you invest in the capital With less investment, it can also help you in talent recruitment and drug experiments, which is only good for Changsheng Pharmaceutical Company."

Lin Baicheng said immediately after hearing the words: "I have seriously considered this matter, and I can give you an answer now."

"What do you mean, Alan?"

Claure asked with a questioning face, he really wanted to know Lin Baicheng's decision.

Lin Baicheng didn't make a fool of himself: "I decided to make additional investment in Changsheng Biopharmaceutical Company, with an initial investment of 5 million U.S. dollars. I can give you up to 10% of the share, which means that you can invest up to 5000 million U.S. dollars in Claure. And At the very least, you need to invest $500 million, and it doesn’t make sense to do less.”

Lin Baicheng thought about it carefully, and what Claure said was right, the joining of the Rockefeller family would not do any harm to Changsheng Biopharmaceutical Company.However, the Rockefeller family cannot be cheap, the initial capital investment must be increased, and too many shares cannot be given up.

"Alan, why did you suddenly increase the investment to 5 million U.S. dollars?"

Claure couldn't help being surprised, but he knew in his heart that Lin Baicheng did this on purpose to prevent the Rockefeller family's investment from taking too much of the shares.

Lin Baicheng smiled: "The investment of 5 million US dollars is not too much, and there will be more investment in the future. If you think it is unacceptable to Claure, then forget it."

"Alan, I would like to ask, besides the investment of 5 million US dollars you mentioned, besides the funds invested by me, do you also invest all cash on your side?"

Crower asked aloud, this is very important.If what Lin Baicheng invested was not all cash, but real estate, patents and other things as assets, who knows if Lin Baicheng has cheated the Rockefeller family's money.

"Don't worry about this, Claure. If you invest 5000 million U.S. dollars, then I will invest 4.5 million U.S. dollars, absolutely all cash investment. If you become a shareholder of the company, although I have the final say on the company's management, you Financial personnel can be sent to the company to supervise the use of funds."

Lin Baicheng never thought of exploiting the Rockefeller family's money, there is no need for that, and it is not cost-effective.With the power of the Rockefeller family in the United States, if Lin Baicheng really cheated the other party's money, the other party would have a lot of ways to trouble him in the American company, and his losses would only be greater at that time.

"I'm relieved to hear you say that, Allen."

After Lin Baicheng said so, Claure knew that Lin Baicheng had never thought of cheating, but the investment of up to 5000 million U.S. dollars made him a little worried. More importantly, the investment of 5000 million U.S. dollars can only get 10% of the company's shares. too little.

"Alan, I can only get 10% of the company's shares, isn't that too little?"

"Claure, I can only give up so many shares at most. If you can't accept it, then forget it."

Lin Baicheng shook his head, he already felt that giving up 10% of the shares was a bit much, let alone giving up more shares.

"Since you insist, Allen, I won't force you."

Seeing Lin Baicheng's resolute attitude, Claure stopped working hard, and then said: "The investment of up to 5000 million US dollars is not a small amount. I need to go back and think about it. I will reply to Alan in a few days. What do you think?"

"No problem, Klauer, you can think about it slowly, as long as it doesn't delay for a few months, it's fine."

Lin Baicheng did not embarrass Claure. After all, it is an investment of 5000 million US dollars, and the investment is still a newly established company, and he can only get 10% of the shares. It is normal for the other party to seriously consider it.

"It won't be that long, at most ten days and a half months."

Crower immediately said that he would report this matter to his father, and his father would decide.The investment of tens of millions of dollars is not something he can decide with a single word, and the funds he can use himself are not as much as 5000 million dollars.

"Then let's stop here."

Lin Baicheng nodded. He didn't invite Phil Smith to invest in Changsheng Pharmaceutical Bio Company, not only because he didn't want to give up too many shares, but also because Phil Smith would not be of much help to Changsheng Pharmaceutical Company, and the other party's family power There is no comparison with the Rockefeller family.

Although the matter was over, Phil Smith, Logan and Crower did not leave immediately, but chatted with Lin Baicheng about other things.

It wasn't until nearly an hour later that the three left and Lin Baicheng sent them out of the apartment.
