I can get rich by brushing my emotions

Chapter 281 Steve's Bold Plan
"Dell is currently in North America, but Connie and I have been sent to Europe.

I was head of Mellon Bank in Paris, France, and Connie was head of Mellon Bank in London.

Originally, Connie and I should be in a state of cooperation, unite against Dell, and prevent him from rising, because Dell is currently the most promising person to become the official heir of the Mellon family! "

Steve picked up the teacup on the table, moistened his throat, and continued:

"So at the beginning, Connie and I made a group agreement to deal with Dell together, but it was only from the year before last that I realized that I took it for granted. Connie is not reliable at all, and he is not qualified to be the heir of the Mellon family. .”

As he said that, Steve said in a deep voice: "Does Mr. Yuan know why I want Anderson to buy gold in London's underground market? Of course, it's not just London. In Zurich and New York, I also secretly buy gold. But does Mr. Yuan know why?"

Yuan Ze shook his head: "I don't know, could it be related to that Connie Mellon?"

Steve nodded and said: "Yes, three years ago, Connie and I reached a cooperation, intending to use each other's power as the head of the bank to embezzle gold from Bank of London Mellon and Bank of Paris Mellon to speculate in gold.

Although this is not allowed commercially, it is feasible or tacitly accepted in the Mellon family's successive generations of competition.But the premise is that nothing goes wrong!
According to our calculations, once the plan is achieved, Connie and I will both make a fortune, at least 10 billion dollars! "

Steve sighed: "It's a pity that Connie didn't go according to plan. He was too greedy. With our capital size, 10 times leverage was already high enough, but Connie pulled 20 times leverage.

In the end, because of the sudden sell-off in the international market, we had two long gold orders, which directly exploded our positions.

Connie was frightened at the time. He thought that the price of gold was going to go downhill, so he closed all the remaining orders, and then took most of the money to exchange for gold, and he made up the gold gap of Bank of London Mellon. But he left me a bad debt! "

Yuan Ze continued to listen to him thoughtfully.

Steve continued: "To be honest, there were only two orders at that time, and the margin loss was only a few hundred million dollars. If he was not in a hurry to close the position at that time, relying on the subsequent upward trend, we could have completely eliminated the liquidation." All the money lost in the warehouse will be earned back.

But he was too anxious, too flustered, too affected by emotions, and finally threw all the bad debts to me, which is really hateful! "

Yuan Ze said: "May I ask, how much gold did you use at that time?"

Steve didn't hide anything, and said directly: "A total of 120 tons, I will give 60 tons, and Connie will give 60 tons."

Yuan Ze was surprised: "Do Mellon Bank actually have so many gold stocks in Europe?"

Steve shook his head and said: "Of course not, Mellon Bank has two important branches in Europe, one is in London and the other is in Paris. The amount of gold belonging to the bank itself is about three About forty tons, and most of the rest are deposited by customers."

Yuan Ze nodded: "Well, that 120 tons of gold was worth a lot three years ago, right?"

Steve sighed: "Three years ago, alas, in September 2019, the price of gold at that time was still below $9 per ounce, and our 1500 tons of gold were replaced by about $120 billion.

But a year later, in August and September 2020, the price of gold soared to $8 an ounce, an increase of more than 9%!

Even if we don’t get a 30% increase, we only get one-third of the increase, and we get a 10% increase. Under 10 times leverage, after deducting the one-year allocation fee, it is still close to 30 billion US dollars in profit. What a pity, alas, what a pity..."

Anderson said aside: "The gold surge from 2019 to 2020 was indeed an opportunity to expand wealth, so Steve, how much did you lose at that time?"

"How much did you lose?" Steve said dryly with a melancholy expression, "I have forgotten how many dollars I lost, but I only remember that I lost about 20 tons of gold at that time."

"That must be a billion dollars, it's not a small amount of money." Anderson said in surprise: "It's you, if it were someone else, the gold gap of more than one billion dollars would have collapsed long ago. "

"I almost collapsed at the time, and I even had the idea of ​​jumping off a building, but in the end I held back." Steve smiled wryly, and continued: "After repeated efforts in the past two years, I secretly bought a batch of gold, But the quantity is still not enough, and there is still a gap of 15 tons.

And the day when the Mellon family sent people to investigate soon arrived, just 20 days later.

Once the investigation starts, a pair of ledgers, my gap of 15 tons of gold will inevitably be exposed, even with the more than 7 tons of gold in Mr. Yuan's hands, it will not be enough... and by then, I will be completely finished! "

Yuan Ze asked, "What about Connie?"

"Connie? Of course he's fine. He withdrew the money in advance, and he didn't lose a single gram of gold!" Steve sighed, "Besides, we've done very secretively about the gold speculation, and few people know about it." Well, after Connie pulled away, he quickly erased the traces of his participation, even if I threatened him with self-explosion, it was useless."

"So, what business do you want to do with me?"

"It's all said here, I think, Mr. Yuan, you must be able to guess it, right?"

"Are you planning to take revenge on Kang Ni?" Yuan Ze asked.

"Yes, I want to take revenge on him. Although he and I are cousins, but he betrayed me first and failed my trust in him, then he must bear the price of betrayal. The family is expelled!"

As he said that, Steve's eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness, and he said: "At the same time, I also want to get back my part of the gold!"

Yuan Ze heard the words and considered the feasibility of the cooperation.

Just as he was about to inquire further about the situation, Steve said:
"Okay, Mr. Yuan, I have told you my secret, and I also know what you did on the Thames, if you are interested in what I am going to do, we can cooperate.

Before that, though, let's finalize the deal on the gold you have in hand.

I have to determine whether you are really capable of transporting more than 7 tons of gold into London under the nose of the British customs. "

Yuan Ze nodded and said, "No problem, I can arrange someone to take you to see the goods right away, but before seeing the goods, we must first sign a non-disclosure agreement, which will benefit both of you and me."

"can!"

Yuan Ze took out a non-disclosure agreement from his bag and handed it to Steve. After taking it, the latter looked at it and signed his name without hesitation.

[You have signed a non-disclosure agreement with Steve Mellon! 】

After the agreement was signed, the few people did not have any unnecessary conversations, and soon came to a warehouse near the Port of London.

In this warehouse, there were about 2 tons of 24K gold, and the remaining 5.64 tons were separated by Yuan Ze into two other warehouses.

He did this mainly because he was afraid that something would go wrong with the transaction and he would be taken over by others.

Be careful, it's fine.

After trading the 2 tons of gold in the first warehouse with Steve and Anderson and confirming receipt of their remittance, Yuan Ze then went to the second and third warehouses with them.

After a lot of work, the transaction of 7.64 tons of 24K gold was finally completed around [-]:[-] p.m. London time.

Calculated at US$1800 per ounce, Yuan Ze received a total of about US$4.42 million in remittances.

……

In a box at the Edison Hotel.

The lights were shining and the atmosphere was peaceful. Yuan Ze, Steve and Anderson were sitting at a dining table, pushing glasses and changing glasses, talking and laughing happily.

At this time, the progress of positive emotions on Steve's head has reached the early 2000 points, and there is still a little distance from 1 points.

In the middle of the meal, Steve couldn't wait to tell Yuan Ze what he and Anderson planned to do.

It turned out that after Steve was desperate, he directly played Connie's crooked idea.

This is a bit similar to Yuan Ze. If you are unreasonable, then I will be unreasonable. Let's see who is more insidious!
However, compared to Yuan Ze, Steve was more murderous. He planned to directly organize people to rob the London Mellon Bank vault that Connie was in charge of, and then empty out the gold inside.

Mentioning this made Steve very excited.

However, Anderson, who was still sane, curled his lips and said: "Seriously, Steve, I knew you would cause trouble before you came to London, but I didn't expect you to be so crazy that you actually broke into the Bank of London Mellon vault. idea.

Do you know how heavily guarded it is?
It's close to the city center. To the west is the Royal Court of Justice, to the south is the estate of King Charles III, and there are guards everywhere. How dare you? "

Steve said with a gloomy face: "The Mellon family's investigation team is coming to Europe in 20 days. I have no choice but to do this! Anderson, you are willing to help me, right? ?”

Anderson wriggled his lower lip and said helplessly, "We are best friends, of course I will help you.

To be honest, before Mr. Yuan got involved, I felt that our success rate was almost zero.

Although Mr. Yuan is now involved, our winning rate is still not high. I am very pessimistic about this, I think the success rate will not exceed [-]%..."

"[-]% is already very good! It's worth fighting for!" Steve smiled.

After taking a sip of his wine, he turned his head to look at Yuan Ze and said, "About the shipwrecks on the Thames, the information I got was that the bottom of the ship was cut off by sharp objects, so, Mr. Yuan, you should have a tool that can quickly cut A device of steel, or a 'monster', right?"

Yuan Ze nodded upon hearing the words: "Not bad."

Steve said: "Since that's the case, it's easy to handle! I was worried before that I wouldn't be able to cut open the vault door quickly, but now that Mr. Yuan has joined, this shouldn't be a problem, is it? Mr. Yuan?"

Yuan Ze smiled, nodded and said: "In your opinion, Steve, it is not difficult to reach the vault gate of Bank of London Mellon, and in my opinion, it is not difficult to cut open the vault door, but, no I know if you have considered a question, that is, how to move the gold in the vault?"

Steve frowned when he heard the words, and said: "Indeed, the handling of gold is a big problem. The vault of the bank that Connie is in charge of stores at least 60 tons of gold, and it may even be more than 70 tons.

With so much gold, even if it is pulled by a large truck, it will take two to load it.

The treasury is located in the basement, so I don’t know how long it will take to transport so much gold out of the ground and load it into the truck..."

Yuan Ze interjected, "I personally think that according to what you do, even if we can empty out the tens of tons of gold in the vault and send it to the car before the police arrive, the problem is...

Have you considered another question, can these two trucks escape the chase?

Perhaps, once the incident is confirmed, it is not the London police who can intervene, but MI6 is dispatched directly. "

Steve said a little uncomfortable: "Yes, yes, there are too many key points in this, I seem to take it for granted... What should I do?"

Seeing his frantic appearance, Yuan Ze said, "Don't worry, tell me about your preparations in detail. After I finish listening, I might be able to give you some good suggestions."

Steve nodded, and said slowly: "At present, I have bought the people around Connie, and I have also obtained the construction drawings of the Bank of London Mellon and its underground vault. Once we start to act, someone will call us, And can quickly approach the vault!"

"Is there a blueprint for the treasury? Can you show it to me?"

"Sure, wait a minute."

Steve quickly handed over the drawings to Yuan Ze.

After Yuan Ze looked at it for a while, he asked Steve to continue talking.

Steve said: "I came to London this time, besides the main action team members, I also brought 50 other people who are not afraid of death, plus Anderson's people, they can completely cause chaos in other major London neighborhoods, and provide us Buy enough time."

At this point, Steve paused, and continued: "If Anderson uses his connections again, he can successfully disrupt the neighborhood where Bank of London Mellon is located."

Yuan Ze shook his head when he heard the words: "I'm afraid Mr. Anderson can't cover up such a big gold theft, right? Of course, Mr. Anderson, I'm not looking down on your strength."

Anderson waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan, you are right. What Steve is going to do, because the amount involved is huge, is really beyond my control. It would be easier to say if the location is remote, but the vault's The location is too close to the city center, and there are some important people living nearby..."

Yuan Ze said: "So, for the sake of safety, my suggestion is not to act recklessly."

Steve asked: "Then what should be done? Mr. Yuan, do you have any good ideas?"

Yuan Ze smiled slightly: "Speaking of ideas, I do have an immature idea, but it all depends on whether the two of you are willing to believe me."

"Of course I want to believe it, otherwise, we wouldn't have disclosed such an important matter to you, Mr. Yuan."

"Since the two of you are willing to trust me, it's easy to handle. Your people don't have to kill people. You just need to cover me well and leave the rest to me."
