Chapter 769 Returning to Gold

The two batches of crude oil from the United States and London are enough for Li Changheng to earn a dozen or two billion dollars.

Therefore, making money is not his primary goal at all in this robbery operation in the island country.

Although the island nation has always been the younger brother of the Americans, what many people don’t know is that the bald eagle used the island nation to deal with the red polar bear.

The islanders artificially closed the island market with restrictions based on the decline of the domestic market and the urgent needs of the Americans in terms of grand strategy.

At this time, even American companies cannot directly invest in the island country in many fields.

Important military fields and high-tech enterprises, the shares are exclusively owned by the islanders.

Just like Sona, Mitsubishi and several auto industry companies that Li Changheng wanted to invade, except for establishing joint venture subsidiaries with them, the shares of the head office could not be bought at all.

Therefore, the biggest goal of his raid this time is just to use raw materials to force the islanders to open up some companies for shareholding permits.

Once successful, it will be at least 10 years ahead of schedule, and the history of US capital invading island country companies.

Moreover, to be honest, the 100 million US dollars in his hand is indeed a bit small. Once the leverage is added to speculate in futures, the remaining 40 million US dollars can only be used as a margin.

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Changheng ordered, "For the remaining 40 million US dollars, buy all the semiconductor silicon on the market today and tomorrow, understand?"

"Yes, BOSS", Noda Koji understood immediately that his boss had really set his sights on several high-tech companies in the island country.

But this guy didn't even have the slightest thought of worrying about the loss of the island's parliament. On the contrary, because the war hadn't started yet, he secretly worried that Li Changheng would be devastated if he lost such a heavy gamble.

Fortunately, at 4:46 p.m., island country time, the men who had just finished sorting out the futures procedures and documents were sent to the market to purchase semiconductor silicon raw materials.

I saw Ryoko Yasuda, who was in charge of the public relations affairs of Belford Investment Company and the island country branch, flushed and sweating, rushed into the office with a sono radio and shouted.

"Listen to the radio."

Koji Noda listened to the news on the radio that the first shot was fired in the desert area.

With a face full of ecstasy, he stood up abruptly.

In the headquarters of Citigroup in New York, Taylor, Jason, and nearly ten managers and shareholders in the London trading room of the investment department of the London stock market were brought in by Li Changheng an hour and a half ago.

There are more than 20 Citi traders who work night shifts and stare at the London stock market, futures market, and gold market. At this time, they are listening to the news of the war on the radio, even holding their breath.

Li Changheng let out a heavy breath and looked at his watch. The time was already 3:48 in the morning, that is to say, it was already 8:50 in the morning in London.

There are still 12 minutes until the London market opens.

And during this hour and a half, the 100 million US dollar fund that Citigroup opened exclusively for him has already prepared funds and is waiting for his order.

"Papa papa", holding a microphone in hand, knocked on the table six or seven times in a row.

After attracting everyone's attention, "London gold market, you can buy as many gold futures as there are."

Everyone thought unexpectedly for the first time, shouldn't they buy crude oil futures?

But without waiting for anyone to ask, the trader with a quick mind immediately picked up the phone and called the London futures trading market, a dedicated trader from Citigroup.

After more than ten seconds, not only the traders understood, but Taylor and other management and shareholders also reacted.

At this time, there are still ten minutes before the London market opens. Although the news of the war will not be known to everyone, crude oil futures must be the first target of most speculators and those companies that need crude oil.

Now grabbing goods with these people, let alone the price, it is unknown how much you can grab.

And gold, which has not yet become everyone's first choice, will be much, much less difficult to buy.

Moreover, as the price of crude oil is bound to rise, a large number of enterprises that need crude oil as raw materials for production, or international speculators compete for crude oil in large numbers.

It will lead to a large amount of funds pouring into the financial market, but crude oil cannot be bought in a short period of time, and it is idle in the market.

Money cannot make money, which is suffering for capital.

Coupled with everyone's concerns about the possible depreciation of banknotes, within a day or even a morning, speculators will 100% focus on gold, which has been rising and has maintained its value in the past two years.

With the frantic influx of funds, gold is bound to skyrocket within a few days.

Even, because gold is not a means of production that governments of various countries will necessarily need in a short period of time.

Even if countries intervene in the financial and raw material markets, the first target will only be on crude oil, not gold.

As a result, the rise of gold even surpassed that of crude oil in a short period of time.

FK, God really loves this young man in front of him.

The six shareholders, Taylor and other management looked at Li Changheng with admiration, and then watched with ecstasy and anxiety at more than 20 traders, who continuously issued bargaining offers to the on-site traders in the London gold futures market by phone.

The ecstasy is because everyone can also buy gold futures, and the anxiety is that everyone understands that there are 17 guards, almost one-on-two.

Before the funds in Li Changheng's exclusive 100 million fund are sold out, they will definitely not let them release any news.

"Taylor, in the fund account, how much money has been subscribed in the past 4 days?"

"100 million, and it only took 2 and a half days, the 100 million subscription funds were completed."

Taylor sighed, and whispered to the Citi executives and shareholders around him, "Don't tell me, you and all your relatives and friends didn't subscribe for the 10,000 US dollar quota?"

Hell, everyone cursed in their hearts, and then prayed in their hearts.

But thinking of their relatives and friends, and the excitement and eagerness of Li Changheng when he opened an investment fund in Citigroup, he felt helpless.

"What was the price of gold yesterday?"

Taylor thought for a while, "The price in London calculated in pounds should be 118 US dollars. According to Henry's attitude of sweeping goods, after the market opens, the price of gold will definitely exceed 120 US dollars per ounce."

FK, everyone scolded in their hearts again.

Someone held an Intel calculator, calculated for a while, and said with a heavy sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the amount of gold in the market is much larger than that of crude oil.

Moreover, if calculated at US$120, US$100 million can buy 833,300 ounces, which is actually 236,245 tons. "

"Based on this calculation, if Henry is willing to grab the goods directly at a price of 120 US dollars, the transaction may be completed within half an hour."

Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and finally someone sighed again, "It seems that we still have too little contact with Henry, let alone let him really trust us.

At least you can't think about it like it is now. You obviously have a good opportunity to make a fortune, but because you don't have time to transfer funds, or even a chance to get a loan, you lose a lot of profits. "
