Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 200 New bodyguards and new futures
the next morning.

Lin Baicheng came down from upstairs. Apart from the housekeeper Dorche and the servants, Qin Lan also got up, and Isabella also came here.

Lin Baicheng greeted Qin Lan: "Morning, Qin Lan, how did you sleep last night, are you still used to it?"

Qin Lan replied: "Good morning Mr. Lin, I slept well last night, and there is nothing I am not used to."

"Used to it."

Lin Baicheng nodded and walked towards the restaurant.

Others follow.

Isabella said: "Mr. Lin, I have brought Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen over here, and they are waiting outside now." Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen in her mouth, It was the bodyguard candidate for Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng said: "Have they had breakfast? If not, ask them to come in and eat together, as long as they are used to eating porridge."

Isabella replied: "They have already eaten."

Lin Baicheng said: "Then let them come in and wait. After I have breakfast and read the investment materials of gold futures, I will go to see them."

Isabella responded and asked a servant to take Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen to the living room to wait.

Lin Baicheng asked Qin Lan to eat together, and he read the information while eating.

Goldman Sachs' gold futures investment, Lin Baicheng's principal has now become 1.7 million U.S. dollars. He raised 10 billion U.S. dollars from Goldman Sachs for one year, with an interest rate of 9.2%. Then, according to his instructions, when the gold price fell below 170 I started buying when the price was USD/oz, and the more I bought, the more I bought. When the price of gold fell to close to USD 165/oz, the operation was completed, and the average buying price was USD 167.7/oz.

Now, the real-time price of gold is 162.4 US dollars per ounce, a small loss of about three points, but Lin Baicheng didn't take it seriously.

In terms of losses, Lin Baicheng lost more gold futures with a principal of US$1 million each at Standard Chartered Bank and Mitsubishi Bank.The cost price of Mitsubishi Bank’s investment is higher at US$189 per ounce. The current price is US$162.4 per ounce, and the loss has exceeded 14%.Once the price of gold falls below $152 per ounce, and then falls by about $10, it will be close to liquidation.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng will not watch the investment in these two places go bankrupt, and he will not move it for now, but when the price of gold falls below $160 per ounce, he will prepare funds to cover his positions.

The short selling of Bailong Commercial Association also sold when the price of gold was close to 165 US dollars per ounce, and the average selling price was 165.3 US dollars per ounce. billion dollars, so after deducting the handling fee, only 195.1 million dollars was earned.

However, I made $350 million in long positions, and $1500 million in short positions this time. With only $1000 million in principal, nearly twice the profit is not too small.

The profit here is long by idling, plus the initial principal of 1000 million U.S. dollars, the current principal is 2850 million U.S. dollars, so Lin Baicheng operates a long position of 2 million U.S. dollars. When he informed Iwasaki Minelong about this, Iwasaki Mine Long didn't object either.At that time, the cooperation between Iwasaki Mineryu and Lin Baicheng in Xiangjiang had already been confirmed to make a lot of money, and Iwasaki Mineryu of course would not object.

Bailong Commercial Club is going long, with a principal of 2850 million US dollars, operating funds of 2 million US dollars, and the cost of buying is 164.3 US dollars per ounce.

Finally, it is Hutchison Whampoa. After closing the short-selling futures order, it did not operate immediately. The main reason is to avoid affecting the rise of Hutchison Whampoa’s stock price. After the Hutchison Whampoa’s stock price breaks through 20 Hong Kong dollars, it will start. Slowly buy the gold price, and the gold price has fallen below $165 per ounce.

For Hutchison Whampoa, the principal became 2.75 million U.S. dollars. The original financing was 7.5 million U.S. dollars. Lin Baicheng sent people to HSBC to raise another 7.5 million U.S. dollars, making up 15 billion U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to using a little more than 5 times the leverage.

The buying cost here is lower, only $163.6 per ounce.

Now all gold futures are long, and they have all completed the purchase. Although the price of gold is still in the bottoming stage, it is likely to fall below 160 US dollars per ounce, but Lin Baicheng believes that the price of gold will rebound in the second half of the year. Let his wealth skyrocket.

Lin Baicheng did not bring the more than one billion Hong Kong dollars earned in Hong Kong to buy gold futures this time, because he planned to use the money to set up a home appliance company.In addition, in case the price of gold falls again, these funds can also be used as margins for Standard Chartered and Mitsubishi.

After breakfast, Lin Baicheng went to meet Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen.

Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen are about the same age, in their 30s, but they didn't know each other before.

Among them, Cliff Cooper was from the Navy SEALs. He had to retire because of his injury and his reaction was not as sensitive as before.However, although he is not as powerful as before, he is more than enough to be Lin Baicheng's bodyguard. After all, Lin Baicheng seeks bodyguards to prevent kidnapping and assassination, not to send bodyguards to fight the army.

Brian Owen is a soldier who retired from the Vietnam War. He was lucky. He just joined the army for two years and the war ended. Therefore, although he is not experienced in hundreds of battles, he has also experienced the baptism of war. It is not comparable to ordinary police officers. .

Both Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen belong to ordinary families, otherwise they would go to other departments as leaders after retiring from the army.Their family conditions are average. After retiring from the army, they have to find another job to earn money to support their families. People like them can find limited types of serious jobs, and the income is not very high.

Serving as a private bodyguard for the rich is a job that suits them and has a fairly high income.

Regarding these two people, Lin Baicheng actually had nothing to be picky about. After all, when he was looking for a personal bodyguard, he had already filtered out those who did not meet the requirements during the screening process, and those who could come over met his requirements.

The reason why Lin Baicheng wanted to interview was mainly to see people, see if he could catch his eyes, and to make sure that the bodyguards were really not racially discriminatory.He would not give his life to someone who discriminates, that would be a joke with his own life.

Whether a person has racial discrimination or not, although it can be cheated temporarily, but after a long time, it can always be seen.

However, in the contract between Lin Baicheng and the bodyguard, there is a stipulation that if the other party conceals the fact of his racial discrimination, he will be subject to huge compensation, which will definitely bankrupt the cheater.

Cliff Cooper and Brian Owen are tall and tall, with straight posture, sharp eyes, and fierce aura. They can be seen to have undergone special training. After Lin Baicheng communicated with them for a while, he admitted them and asked them to Be his bodyguard.
