I can get rich by brushing my emotions

Yuan Ze asked, "Do you know what he bought the gold for?"

Fang Yuebin said: "On the surface, he wants to buy gold and other precious metals at a low price and use them for dumping by his jewelry company to make a profit.

But in fact, I have carefully studied his price list, and the price he gave is very close to the price of international spot precious metals. If it enters the market in the form of jewelry products and pays taxes layer by layer, the profit is actually no better than that of precious metals purchased through formal channels. How much, but also bear the risk of smuggling.

For a billionaire like his, the harm outweighs the good.

So, I guess the jeweler is just his superficial identity, and he should have other identities secretly. "

"Oh? What other identity?" Yuan Ze asked curiously.

Fang Yuebin shook his head and said: "There is no way to verify the specific identity, and it is impossible for Anderson to let the outside world know easily, but according to the fact that he is more inclined to buy gold, I think we can find a breakthrough from this aspect.

The first is that he simply likes gold and wants to collect and collect gold.

Second, he is secretly doing some shady business, trying to bleach it with gold. "

Yuan Ze touched his chin when he heard this, thinking:
"Based on this inference, maybe he bought the gold for someone else.

And it doesn't have to be people who can't see the light. Those who have official channels, wouldn't it be better to label the unowned gold and make this thing regular?
As long as it changes hands a few times, and then flows into the market and turns into dollars or pounds, then no one will know the specific source of these gold, and there is nothing to check. "

Yuan Ze said these words easily, but he was extremely afraid when he thought about them carefully.

Where does such a huge currency market in the world come from?

In fact, apart from the annual printing of money by the major economies, there are quite a few sources that cannot be traced.

Finally, seeing that the economic crisis is coming, we can only issue additional local currency for hedging, indirectly acknowledging the normalization of this fund.

Fang Yuebin nodded and said: "It's also possible, anyway, gold is still a stable hard currency in the world. In the current international market, besides the US dollar, gold is also more popular.

As Mr. Yuan said, as long as this thing is in the hands of someone with official channels, it will be a formal reserve currency with a sticker. "

Perhaps, many people think that gold is something that cannot be eaten or drunk.

It's just looking shiny and golden, and it's only decorative.

Actually worthless.

But this is a rather wrong and naive kind of cognition.

Gold is not just a precious metal.

Because of its various unique chemical properties, such as extremely high anti-corrosion stability, good electrical and thermal conductivity, nearly 100% infrared reflection ability, and various catalytic properties, etc.

In addition, gold also has good craftsmanship, which is very easy to process and plate on the surface of other metals, pottery and glass, and can be made into superconductors and organic gold, etc.

Because of so many beneficial properties, with the development of science and technology, gold has gradually been widely used in various modern high-tech industries.

Such as electronic technology, communication technology, aerospace technology, chemical technology, medical technology and so on.

Therefore, this thing can not only be used as a simple decoration and reserve currency, but also an item that is actually worth a lot of money.

Yuan Ze asked: "Regardless of what he bought the gold for, how much did Anderson pay?"

Fang Yuebin said: "The price offered by Anderson is US$1760 per ounce. If calculated in grams, it is about 380 yuan per gram, and the bids of other buyers are all below US$1700 per ounce."

"What about the price of gold here in London?"

"As of yesterday afternoon's close, the spot price of 24K gold on the London Exchange was about 392 yuan per gram."

"The difference is only ten yuan per gram, which is okay." Yuan Ze nodded slightly.

At present, he has 356.9 kilograms of gold in his hand, and he earns 10 yuan less per gram, which is only more than 300 million yuan. This loss is completely within the acceptable range.

After all, Yuan Ze currently has no official channel, and he can't find someone to put a formal label on the gold, so he has to bear the handling fee that should be borne.

Anyway, this is much less than the 20% personal income tax.

Yuan Ze asked again: "How does he plan to pay? We cannot accept unsafe payment methods, so as not to be cheated."

Fang Yuebin said: "In the past, the best way to do this kind of transaction was through Swiss banks, but after the incident a few months ago, the reputation of Swiss banks has collapsed now, and I have to change banks. Singaporean banks with relatively high security, Anderson said that there is no problem."

Yuan Ze nodded slightly, and continued to chat with Fang Yuebin about other details of the gold transaction.

At the end, Yuan Ze tapped on the table in front of him and said, "You make an appointment with him as soon as possible. I plan to meet and chat with him. If there is no problem, I will sell the goods to him."

Fang Yuebin said: "Okay, I will arrange it in a while."

Yuan Ze got up and walked to the window, looked out of the window, and saw the dense clouds that were covering the city, thick as a substance, then turned his head and asked Fang Yuebin:
"By the way, the delivery warehouse that I asked you to prepare before, are you ready?"

"According to your instructions, I rented a 120-square-meter warehouse near the port of London."

"Give me the specific address, and I'll go over and have a look."

"Ok."

After obtaining the specific address of the warehouse from Fang Yuebin, as well as the password and key, Yuan Ze asked him to contact Anderson.

As for himself, he led Hou Yuankui and Xiong Bin to follow the address all the way to the location of the warehouse.

After ordering the two to wait outside, Yuan Ze alone took out the key to open the iron lock outside, and entered the password to pass through the electronic access control, and finally entered the warehouse.

This is a highly private storage place, sealed on all sides, with vents on the top, and there are several large red and green cargo boxes inside.

Yuan Ze turned around, and after confirming that there was no problem, he directly took the Nuggets Assistant out of the treasure warehouse, and then moved all the more than 300 kilograms of gold from the Nuggets Assistant's storage module into a blue cargo box among.

After finishing the work, Yuan Ze turned around and locked the warehouse, and ordered Hou Yuankui and Xiong Bin to take turns watching the warehouse and report any situation in time.

After doing all this, Yuan Ze turned back to Bulgari Hotel soon.

Fang Yuebin came to find him and reported to him: "President Yuan, I just contacted Anderson, and he said that he has time for the next week, and even if we are not busy here, he is very happy to invite us to have lunch together .”

"Is it noon today?"

"Yes, at noon today."

"Where is the place?"

"The Edison Hotel is just near the British Museum, not far from our place."

"Okay, then you are ready, we will meet him at the Edison Hotel in a while."

"Ok."

"..."

Nearly 12 noon.

The thick dark clouds over the center of London finally dissipated, and wisps of golden sunlight excitedly shot into the city from the gaps in the clouds.

Yuan Ze and Fang Yuebin also arrived at the Edison Hotel at a certain point. Guided by a blond waiter, they went upstairs to a magnificent box with art paintings on the walls.

Although the two parties conducted a private transaction and did not comply with the rules, in foreign countries, the rules serve capital.

No matter what, etiquette and face-to-face meetings must be arranged in place. If you want to talk about business, you must talk in a regular hotel.

Besides, if Anderson had made an appointment in a dirty place, Yuan Ze would not go either.

Sitting in the box was a man with a beard and a slightly collapsed nose. He was about forty years old, with a slightly fat body and thinning hair on his head. The first impression he gave was that his face was glossy, but he was very smooth. guy.

As soon as he saw Yuan Ze and the others, he immediately showed a row of big white teeth and greeted them with a smile.

Fang Yuebin took the initiative to introduce: "Mr. Yuan, this is Anderson. Mr. Anderson, this is my boss, surnamed Yuan, Yuan Ze."

"Hello, Mr. Yuan. It's a pleasure to meet you here." Hearing this, Anderson looked at Yuan Ze and shook hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Anderson." After Yuan Ze sat down, he didn't greet Anderson, and asked directly in fluent English: "Listen to my subordinate, Mr. Anderson, do you intend to buy a large amount of gold?"

Anderson was a little surprised that Yuan Ze's English was so fluent, but he didn't think much about it, and immediately nodded straightforwardly:

"Yes, there is indeed a need for this. I also heard from Mr. Fang that you have what I need, and the quantity is more than 100kg. I don't know if it is true?"

"Of course it is true, otherwise I would or would not have come here from Huaxia."

"That would be great." Anderson said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Yuan, you can send the goods out of China, then we can find a safe place to conduct transactions. In order to show my sincerity, the place and time can be your own." Arrangements and payment methods can also be chosen by you.”

Yuan Zedao: "Mr. Anderson is really a straightforward person. However, we have shipped the goods to London, and we can directly conduct transactions in London, but there is no need to go to other places."

Anderson was taken aback when he heard the words, and said in surprise: "How could you come to London with gold without a certificate? I'm curious, how did you pass the customs security check."

Yuan Ze smiled slightly, but did not explain, leaving room for Anderson's imagination.

Anderson narrowed his eyes, reached out and twirled his thick black beard, and said, "It seems that there should be someone at the customs."

Yuan Ze said: "Mr. Anderson, you don't need to guess, let's talk about the business. If the transaction is made in London, I want to know, what price can you give?"

Anderson said: "Before I quoted Mr. Fang at US$1760 per ounce. Now, since you can bring the gold to London, I am willing to give you an extra US$15 for shipping, which is US$1775 per ounce."

In the international gold market, the weight of gold is converted using the troy ounce unit, and 1 ounce is approximately equal to 31.1 grams, not 28.35 grams.

At the current USD/RMB exchange rate of 6.7, USD 1775 per ounce is approximately 382.4 RMB per gram.

This price is more than two yuan higher than before.

Yuan Ze didn't expect that Anderson would raise his price.

It seems that, as Fang Yuebin speculated, this guy's purchase of gold is really tricky.

That being the case, Yuan Ze was not polite, and continued to test his bottom line: "1775 dollars? That's too low."

Anderson smacked his mouth and said, "Is this price low? Mr. Yuan, the current spot gold price on the London Exchange is around $1800 per ounce. I can offer $1775, which is already the greatest sincerity. "

The more he said that, the more Yuan Ze refused to budge, he just said: "Add more."

Anderson frowned, and said angrily: "Mr. Yuan, I really can't increase it anymore. You must know that due to the Fed's interest rate hike recently, a lot of funds around the world are flowing to the United States, and the spot price of gold has fallen. is an inevitable trend.

It is almost foreseeable that the spot gold price on the London Exchange this week is still around $1800 an ounce, but it is very likely that it will fall to $1700 in two weeks.

Therefore, the price I am quoting you now is definitely not cheating you, so please rest assured. "

Regarding the matter of raising interest rates, the first thing that Europe can't handle this year happens to be the United Kingdom.

As early as February, the United Kingdom began to raise interest rates, and then caused domestic companies to wail, and then began to cut taxes and release water.

Now, as soon as the big brother, the United States, begins to raise interest rates, not to mention the United Kingdom, capital from all other regions of the world is flowing towards Wall Street.

Of course, it is only the beginning of July, and the rate of interest rate hike by the Fed is still not obvious. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that there will definitely be more ruthless operations in the future.

Yuan Zedao: "I know that the price of gold is likely to fall in the future, but I'm not in a hurry, but Mr. Anderson, you seem to be in a hurry?"

Anderson was noncommittal, and asked with a smile: "I want to make sure, Mr. Yuan, how many goods do you have here in London?"

Yuan Ze didn't hide anything, and said frankly: "About 357kg."

Anderson was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes flickered a few times, he patted the table and said, "If it's what you said, Mr. Yuan, you really have so many goods in London, then I'll give you another $5, $1780, how about it?" ?”

Yuan Ze said: "I think the value of US$1788 is more auspicious."

Anderson couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Yuan, I really can't add more. I don't make much money at the price of 1780 US dollars. If I add 8 US dollars, I will lose my money. You can't let me do a loss-making business, right?"

Yuan Ze didn't believe his words at all.

So, Yuan Ze thought about it, and then he sighed tentatively: "If you have this attitude, Mr. Anderson, then I am very disappointed in you. I flew from China to London this time just to make sure that you are Whether the two sides can cooperate for a long time, but now it seems that it may not be possible."

Anderson's expression froze: "Long-term deal? Mr. Yuan, you mean..."

Seeing that he was interested, Yuan Ze thought to himself that you really have a ghost, so he quickly seized the opportunity and said:

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Anderson, I was lucky a while ago and got a stable source of goods. It is conservatively estimated that I can produce 1 ton of 24K gold per year. Therefore, I have to find a reliable buyer for long-term cooperation..."

It has only been about three months since the awakening of plug-ins, and more than 300 kilograms of 24K gold have been obtained.

Yuan Ze thinks that after one year, no matter what, he can make a ton of 24K gold, right?

If you're lucky, if you get a map with a high-value gold treasure, maybe you can produce more?

Therefore, although Yuan Ze is suspected of bragging, he is not really aimless, and it is not that he is not at all sure.
