Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 481 Gold surges
Xue Jianguo waited for Chu Xiangqian for two full days, and he was already impatient with the waiting, but he saw his sister appearing in front of him with a happy face.

The depression and irritability in my heart immediately disappeared without a trace.

But he still complained, "I wonder where the hell you two went to play, and once you went out, you didn't come back for two days and one night."

Xue Jinglan's face turned red after hearing this, and she once again thought of what happened with her man in the wild last night.

Chu Qianqian shrugged and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked with a smile, "If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. Don't delay our wedding and honeymoon."

Xue Jianguo rolled his eyes after hearing this, thinking that Chu Qianqian didn't have to work and was not short of money, so he could take his girl to skip work and play around in the capital.

However, seeing that Chu Xiangqian liked his sister so much, Xue Jianguo, the second brother, was still very happy.

Just remembering what his direct leader Tang Lianxin said yesterday morning, Xue Jianguo hurriedly said, "Moving forward, Mr. Tang told me yesterday that the international gold price in London suddenly surged to 41.5 US dollars per ounce.

I would like to ask you, is it possible to take advantage of the high gold price to sell a batch of gold and exchange it for US dollars? "

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he understood that the superiors planned to wait for the price of gold to fall and then use US dollars to buy the same proportion of gold.

Come and make a difference.

The price of gold has been stable at US$35 per ounce before, and even if there are fluctuations, it will remain within 1%.

If this ratio is exceeded, major central banks in the United States and Europe will take action to maintain the Bretton Woods system.

However, as the Americans first fought the Goryeo War and now began to intervene in Vietnam, spending a lot of money but failing to win the war, they naturally could not see the expected returns.

Coupled with inflation, it has actually become increasingly difficult for the United States to maintain a fixed price for gold.

Chu Xiangqian knew that the price of gold would definitely rise and that the Bretton Woods system would collapse, but he really didn't know the fluctuations in international gold prices every year.

Otherwise, do nothing and just focus on gold copying.

However, Chu Xiangqian is certain that the price of gold will be suppressed soon this time.

After all, it is not the early 70s yet, and the United States has clearly shown signs of fatigue on the battlefield in Vietnam and Nannan.

There were also more and more people in the United States opposing the Vietnam-Vietnam war, an era when domestic conflicts abounded and international prestige plummeted.

At this stage in the 60s, the United States had not officially sent troops to intervene in the Vietnam War. As long as the Americans wanted to maintain the dominance of the US dollar, the price of gold would remain in the range of US$35 per ounce.

If the price of gold collapses in the future, it’s not that Americans don’t want to maintain it, but that they don’t have the ability to maintain it.

But now, anyway, Chu Xiangqian just thought about it for dozens of seconds and decided to take a gamble.

$41.5 per ounce versus $35, making $6.5 per ounce.

I have 4.848 tons of gold in Standard Chartered Bank and 2.5 tons of gold in Hang Seng Bank. If I sell it, I will definitely make a big profit.

The only trouble is that the 4 tons + 2.8 tons of gold obtained from domestic grain transactions twice have been stored in the Novice Village warehouse.

If you want to sell it, you have to return to Hong Kong Island first.

But even if it was just 7.348 tons of gold from two banks, Standard Chartered and Hang Seng, Chu Xiangqian calculated carefully and found that one ton of gold is equal to 35374 ounces.

If you sell them all, you should be able to earn $35 million when the gold price drops back to $168 per ounce.

If he also sells the 6.8 tons of gold in Novice Village, he can earn another US$156 million.

The total amount is only over 300 million, which doesn’t seem to mean much.

No, if you buy all the money you earn into gold, you can probably earn about 2.6 tons.

Thinking about it this way, I feel that it is necessary to participate in this business.

Looking at Xue Jianguo, he said, "Second brother, please contact the fastest plane. I want to take Lanlan to Hong Kong Island to deal with the gold transaction.

If I operate it properly this time, I will sell more than 14 tons of gold at a high price and buy low.

This time out and in, you should be able to earn about 2.5 tons of gold. "

Xue Jianguo was completely confused after hearing this. He personally owns 14 tons of gold. How many small yellow croakers are there?
If calculated based on US$41.5 per ounce, it would be approximately US$2000 million.

Damn it, Chu Qianqian hasn’t even been to Hong Kong for a year, but he actually has such a large amount of money in his hand, and he can exchange it for gold and deposit it in a bank to become his family?
Xue Jinglan also looked at her man with beautiful eyes.

"Second brother?"

When Xue Jianguo heard Chu Qianqian calling him, he quickly recovered and nodded.

But after a few seconds, he shook his head again, "It's no problem to book a flight for you. We'll take you and Lanlan directly to the south on a transport plane, and you can take a bus back to Hong Kong Island.

But the most important thing now is that you follow me to meet the leader.Otherwise, Mr. Tang will definitely skin me. "

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while and wanted to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible to get help from his superiors.

And while waiting, it didn't take much time to chat with Old Man Tang about gold trading.

However, Chu Xiangqian would only express his guess that the price of gold would drop in a short period of time.

Chu Xiangqian will definitely not say more about how to do it and whether his superiors want to follow him, nor will he participate in the gold buying and selling.

I express my judgment for the sake of being a member of the Celestial Dynasty. If I don't participate in the operation, I will avoid trouble.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Xue Jinglan, and his wife hurriedly said, "Brother Xiangqian, you go and do your work. I'll go home by myself."

Chu Qianqian nodded. This place was only a few dozen meters away from the alley, and it would only take five or six minutes to walk home.

After watching Xue Jinglan enter Luogu Alley, Chu Xiangqian rode his three-wheeled motorcycle and followed Xue Jianguo's car to see Old Man Tang.

After the meeting, Old Man Tang took Chu Qianqian to see the second elder.

He didn't get home until 10 o'clock at night.

The specifics and what was said above are actually very simple. Chu Xiangqian actually spent most of the day in a small conference room.

You were free to sleep, read newspapers, eat, etc. It wasn't until after 8 o'clock in the evening that I got a reply.

The superior loaned him 20 tons of gold this time, but he would pay back 20 tons in half a year.

At the same time, in the next six months, 10 tons of grain will be transported to the country every month.

The price is calculated based on the futures price of wheat or corn in the United States, and the future payment for grain can be deducted from the 20 tons of gold.

And it is calculated based on the actual gold price every month.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would not suffer this loss.The superiors would not be so ignorant.

In other words, the boss didn't want to take risks, and thought that since Chu Xiangqian was betting that the price of gold would fall back in a short time, he should give him more chips.

It is a reward for helping to transport food back, and at the same time, a stable source of food is obtained.

Chu Xiangqian naturally agreed immediately.

Anyway, even if my judgment is wrong and the price of gold falls for more than a year, I will not actually lose anything.

As long as it falls back, you will make money.

Moreover, the money purchased from the United States was a 3% commission from helping the Chicago Mafia transfer US dollars into Panama.

It can be said that it is a business without capital.
-
After returning home, Xue Jinglan and Ewon who were accompanying her hurriedly got up, "Brother Qianqian, have you had dinner?" Chu Qiang nodded, and couldn't help but think of the lion's head and braised pork eaten in Ouchi tonight, and secretly thought to this royal chef The craftsmanship is really good.

If possible, invite retired chefs to go to Hong Kong Island and open a chef restaurant, and the business should be very good.

Seeing Chu Qianqian eating, Ehime felt relieved and asked quickly, "Brother, I heard from my sister-in-law that we might return to Hong Kong Island in the next few days?"

Chu nodded forward, "If nothing unexpected happens, we will set off tomorrow afternoon. But if you have something to do, you can wait a week.

After I finish my business in Hong Kong Island, I will come back.When the time comes, I will have to fly to Los Angeles with my master’s wife and several uncles. "

After that, he told Gong Er that he was in poor health and might not be able to withstand the cold winter weather in the capital.

Ehime's eyes lit up after hearing this.

Pulling Xue Jinglan, she said, "Sister-in-law, why don't we go to Hong Kong Island first? When my brother comes back, we can fly to the United States to play together?"

But Xue Jinglan was newly married, and it was the time when Nian Chu was moving forward, so how could she be willing to separate from him.

It wouldn't be good if he refused just because his sister-in-law begged him for the first time.

Chu Qianqian could see his wife's embarrassment and said with a smile, "Okay, your sister-in-law and I just got married, so you'd better stop being a light bulb.

In a week, we will come back to pick you and my master up. "

Xue Jinglan's face lit up, but Aiyuan pouted, secretly thinking that the eldest brother really forgot about his sister when he had a wife.

Xue Jinglan felt embarrassed again. She pulled Aiyuan and asked, "Yuanyuan, if something happens to you, please talk to me and your brother?"

Ehime hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "I heard from my second aunt that she planned to find a match for Aiguo. She also asked me to let's see how the girl is doing."

Chu Xiangqian was stunned and secretly thought that Aiguo was only 17 years old, so why did he find him a wife so early?

Then he guessed that it must be because he was married, and the second uncle and second aunt were stimulated, so they came up with this idea.

But it's right to think about it. He is the grandson of Lao Chu and his marriage has been settled. The eyes of his second uncle, second aunt and third uncle will naturally be on the second brother, Patriot.

Even if you are not old enough, you may still get engaged. Even if you have an engagement party and the young couple live together, no one will say anything.

Besides, patriotism is not about cadre establishment. For an ordinary worker to live together after getting engaged, the leader of the steel rolling mill will definitely not fire the worker just because of this.

In the end, it is 100% verbal criticism and education.

As for the impact on promotion, a 17-year-old child cannot be promoted unless he has great merit.

Moreover, as a chef, Tigan is also related to the canteen. You can't drive Shazhu away and take over as a junior brother.

That would really make you an ungrateful person.

Chu Xiangqian asked curiously, "Which family is the girl from?"

Xue Jinglan had just become a sister-in-law, so she was naturally very interested and active in her brother-in-law's marriage.

Ehime was also very nosy and said with a smile, "I heard from the second aunt that the girl grew up in our alley. Both her parents are at home and have formal jobs.

The girl is 16 years old and is still in the third grade of junior high school.There are two sisters and two brothers in the family. "

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian knew that if Aiguo and the girl met each other's eyes, there would be a high probability that this boy would play tricks on his brother-in-law and sister-in-law in the future.

Moreover, if you can't protect others' parents, they have already targeted your eldest brother.

I should find jobs for my younger siblings, right?

When her younger siblings gave birth to their little nephews, they would find jobs for her younger sisters and younger brothers. Considering that she had given birth to a son for the old Chu family, she, as the eldest brother, would not be able to refuse.

Of course, if one, two, or three or five nephews are born, Chu Xiangqian, the eldest brother, will not need to be mentioned by her younger siblings, and the custodian will take the initiative to reward her as a great hero.

He even said that even if they were nieces, Chu Xiangqian would still give her rewards.

However, there is no ban on having more children these days, and I don't mention rewards. As long as the couple can have children, they will probably have more children.

Ehime and Lanlan saw that Chu Xiangqian had a thoughtful expression after listening to it, and hurriedly asked, "Brother, do you know that family?"

Chu Qianqian shook his head and was about to express his worries. After all, one was his daughter-in-law and the other his sister, the person he was closest to and trusted.

But then I thought about it, if I look at the girl's character and background, others will definitely look at the strength of the old Chu family.

This kind of thing is actually the same no matter what era it is in.

Even if the girl from the patriotic and compound family gets married and has children, and the younger siblings in the patriotic family have no jobs, or will go to the countryside in the future, the patriotic couple will still come to find them.

This matter cannot be run away or put aside.

The only thing that worries Chu Xiangqian and many others in the future is that it is okay for relatives to help, but they are afraid of white-eyed wolves.

Maybe a vampire who only takes but doesn't give.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian simply didn't say anything and let his second aunt and Ehime take a look first.

Find someone to inquire and inquire about carefully.

Moreover, this matter has not yet been revealed. If you care so much, you may not be interested in patriotism, and then your efforts will be in vain.

However, these days, a girl can go to the third grade of junior high school. Although it may be a bit late for this girl to go to school, she should not go to school until she is 9 years old.

8 or 9 years ago was the early 50s. Maybe the girl's father got a job in the capital and settled down, so he took the children from his hometown to go to school.

But being able to study all the way to the third grade of junior high school is very rare even in the capital city.

It can be seen that the elders of this family are quite open-minded and should not be short of money, otherwise the girl would have been asked to drop out of school and go to work.

Chu Qianqian shook his head, "It's useless to say anything now. And Ehime, you know the situation of my family. It doesn't matter whether the girl's family has money or power.

Just look at whether the girl is good and whether she is a person who cares about her man.

Or maybe I am looking for Aiguo simply to take care of her two younger sisters and two younger brothers. "

Not only did Xue Jinglan not understand this, but even Eyuan couldn't keep up with Chu Xiangqian's thoughts.

People these days may have a lot of small thoughts in their hearts, but their family values ​​are much more important than those of the future.

In the minds of most people, it is normal for someone to be an eldest brother or sister and take care of their younger siblings.

Chu Qianqian also responded, "I mean, it's okay to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. But I can't just move all the good things back to my parents' house if the family has some good things.

Even for the sake of his biological brother, he didn't even care whether his son or daughter had enough to eat, and had to bring food back to his parents' house.

If you marry this kind of daughter-in-law, you will not build a family, but she will ruin the family. "

After hearing this, Ehime nodded directly. Xue Jinglan was a little worried, but then she thought about it. Her eldest brother was the battalion commander and her second brother was a stock-level cadre.

There is no need for your own man to take care of you.

Therefore, what Brother Xiang is talking about is definitely not me.

He nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Qian is right, we need to take a closer look at this matter."
