Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 93 Say it, how much to borrow

"So. Zhu Li, you mean, you are not sure about Volker's attitude now, right? What about New York, New York, or, what does Wall Street think of Volker now?"

Carter was faintly excited, shouting in his heart:
gold!gold!Grandpa is here!
If Wall Street remains skeptical of Volcker's intention to implement a monetary contraction policy and continues to firmly believe that inflation will continue, then gold will definitely rise!The opportunity to make money seems to have appeared again!

"Well, let me be blunt. Juli, I want to invest in gold!"

"Gold?! It's not a good time for gold to enter the market. It's 534 an ounce today."

Contacting Carter's context, Julian also quickly understood Carter's thoughts.I also guessed Carter's logic of wanting to invest in gold: it is very simple, based on the market law of "high inflation rate means high gold price", combined with the current market perception of inflation rate will continue to rise, it is predicted that the price of gold will continue to rise.

The logic is simple, and Julian admits it makes sense.However, the price of gold has risen too much, even if it will continue to rise, how much can it rise?There is no pusher like the Hunter family behind gold, or the "big grievances" who follow your ass to pay for it.

Enter the market at a high price of more than [-] US dollars. If you can’t sell it and no one takes over, wait for the price of gold to fall. Are you pawning all your underwear that you are not afraid of losing money? !

"Carter, your thoughts and judgments are very good and correct. The interest rate on long-term treasury bonds has risen to 13.86% in the past ten years, an increase of 2.25% from before. The market is indeed convinced that the current high inflation will continue. The price of gold will fall in the short term Almost impossible, but up. I think the upside is also limited."

"You have to know that two years ago, an ounce of gold was less than US$200. From the end of last year to now, gold has more than doubled. It is highly probable that it will continue to rise, but the increase, that is, profit margins, Compared with the risk of falling prices, I think it is not suitable for gold speculation at this time."

"If you want, Baiyin! Come to Baiyin, I still have some positions, I can share some with you, at least there are two brothers Hunter behind Baiyin to give you the bottom line. This is something that gold doesn't have!"

"Hahaha, forget it, Zhu Li, are you coaxing the child? Do you think I'm complaining in front of you because I saw my silver shot too early?"

Listening to Julian's coaxing tone, Carter couldn't help but feel a little happy.It's like an adult takes a child to the park to play, and then buys a snack for each of them. The child eats up his own portion first, and then greedy for the adult's portion. , don't cry~"

"Hahaha, you are just a child. By the way, you will be 17 next month. What gift do you want?"

"Let's talk about presents. There is a Chinese saying that goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away. Gifts are light and affection is heavy. I don't care about this very much. To be honest, Zhu Li, I want to invest in gold. I don't want to speculate, or it's not that speculative."

Carter's birthday is December 12, which is Christmas.It belongs to the kind of day that is easy to remember. When opening an account and signing the contract before, Julian had teased that it was a good birthday for him. Coupled with his ability to deal with people, Carter was not surprised that he could remember his birthday.

Haha laughed, skipping the gossip, Carter continued:
"It was also caused by the highway business district I set up in Douglas recently, and I had no money in my pocket. Therefore, I invested in gold, just wanting to earn some pocket money steadily on the basis of capital preservation. I quite believe it. Volker will firmly shrink the currency, after all, I am the fellow of Carter, and I have some news"

"Well, some time ago, about half a month ago, I heard from our mayor that Carter went to see Volker, and the two broke up. From this point of view, Volker should not be In order to cater to the White House, what he is doing now may just be boiling frogs in warm water? Deliberately numb the outside world."

"In addition, we all know that this kind of inflation is unhealthy. If Volcker doesn't do it, people like Paulke and Relke will jump out to do it. No matter who it is, as long as the inflation rate doesn't come down, I will You won’t lose money if you invest in gold. It’s just that I believe in Volker more. I think he is the one who does this, so I choose to enter the market at this time, so that the investment cycle will be relatively short, which is suitable for me with empty hands and urgent needs. What's up with the cash."

After talking about his investment in both an auto repair shop and a gas station, Carter shared with Julian what he had heard from Benjamin.

Sure enough, Julian was silent when he heard what Carter said.

If there is a situation where Carter and Volker broke up unhappy after meeting, then what Volker is doing now may indeed be false.He is still the Volcker he knows, and his temperament has not changed drastically because he became the chairman of the Federal Reserve
This is not Julian's sloppiness, but the result of the meeting between the two. The reason can only be that Carter wanted Volker to increase the money supply and create false prosperity to gain votes, but Volker directly After refusal, they will break up unhappy.

It is impossible for Comrade Renzong to find Volker and say to him: "Paul! My dear comrade-in-arms, my dear comrade, the United States has reached the edge of a cliff. As the president of the United States, my interests are not important. Don't worry, be bold. Let's do it freely! It's okay if I don't become president, but the United States must be revitalized!"

Then Volker, full of tears, grabbed Carter's hand excitedly: "No! Dear Jimmy, I can't do this. You can only support me and believe me if you are the president. I firmly disagree with tightening the money supply. It will be your general election soon, everything must be compromised for you, I believe that the United States can still hold on for such a period of time!"

Even with a damn butt, you know it's impossible for this scene to happen, it's too anti-human, isn't it?Novel dare not write like this!
So, after a little thought, Julian approved Carter's idea and asked directly:
"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Hey hey, it depends on how much you can borrow"

Carter, who was a little embarrassed by Julian's directness, smiled and threw the question back.

Unlike speculating on silver before, Carter believes that he speculates on gold this time, not at all for high profits.It is just a way to make money stably, and once it is stable, it will inevitably mean that the profit margin is not high, so in order to increase profits, the only way is to find a way to expand the scale, and come to a financial version of small profits but high sales.

"I'll raise money personally, and I should be able to borrow you 80 yuan. My position is quite full recently, and I don't have a lot of cash. The company will borrow 40 yuan with your stock worth 120 yuan as collateral, plus your status as a VIP customer." It’s probably not difficult. A total of [-] million, do you still need it?”

After Julian had done the calculations in his mind, he was not hypocritical.Knowing that Carter had no money in his pocket, he reported the number directly:
"If necessary, fax me the subscription certificates of your two funds. With these two things, plus my face, I should be able to borrow another 200 million for you. If there is more, it may be a little difficult And it took a long time to raise funds.”

"320 million US dollars, after deducting management fees, fees, interest, etc., even if you get 5% of the net profit in the end, you can still have 16. Is it enough for you to spend a while? You say you are too, how can you talk to a dollar black hole? It seems that the money will be gone as soon as you get it, have you forgotten that I reminded you to keep some spare money in your hand?"
