Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 520 The price of gold skyrockets!

Hong Kong Island. Suburbs!

In the cramped small apartment, Yang Qian looked at the telegraph machine in front of her, but her mind was in a mess. She still didn't know how to report the situation here to her superiors.

She was assigned by the State Administration of Foreign Exchange to join Xingchen International Investment Company to monitor the movements of the [-] million foreign exchange!
Although the above conducted a detailed investigation of Li Yi's identity and background, it was believed that he was unlikely to embezzle the money.

But after all, it is [-] million in foreign exchange, which was obtained from how much oil and agricultural products the country exported.

If it really goes away like this, who can bear this responsibility?

Therefore, Yang Qian, a person with a special status, was sent to Hong Kong Island.

Of course, in addition to supervising the foreign exchange, her mission on Hong Kong Island also had other secret tasks.

But when Yang Qian successfully joined Xingchen Company, she found that the situation in this company was particularly weird.

I thought that this company had billions of Hong Kong dollars in hand and would be busy looking for projects to invest in every day.

However, the opposite is true. Although the employees here seem very busy and meet customers to sign contracts every day, they are rarely seen looking for projects.

And once they pull back the investment, no matter how much it is, they will immediately convert it into U.S. dollars and deposit it in a designated bank.

Even the US$[-] million in foreign exchange shipped from China was deposited in batches into major banks such as Citigroup, Hang Seng and Standard Chartered as soon as it arrived on Hong Kong Island.

What surprised Yang Qian the most was that the deposit period of this money was actually a full year.

In other words, within one year, the company cannot use the money unless it does not want regular interest.

This operation left Yang Qian completely confused. What was this Xingchen Company doing? Could it be that the investment they were talking about was just putting money in the bank to earn interest?
If this is the case, then the country still needs to find him, Li Yi?

Because of this matter, Yang Qian specifically asked Director Lan of the Investment Management Department about this matter, and the answer she received was that this was an instruction from the big BOSS.

In desperation, Yang Qian thought about reporting this situation back to China after get off work.

But when she sat in front of the telegraph machine, she hesitated.

Although she did not witness Li Yi killing everyone in the Hong Kong stock market, she saw with her own eyes how he negotiated with the superiors.
In just a few words, the young man forced the bureau to report to the top management, and finally agreed to spend [-] million yuan in precious foreign exchange for him to operate on his behalf.

Thinking of the previous meeting with Li Yi, Yang Qian believed that Li Yi would not joke about such a large sum of money. He must have a deeper meaning in doing so.

Thinking of this, the hand on the telegraph machine couldn't help but let go!
She decided not to report the situation back for the time being, but to take a look at the situation first. There might be other changes later.

Anyway, the money has been deposited in the bank, so the security issue should not be a big problem for the time being.

After making this decision, Yang Qian immediately put away the telegraph machine and hid it in a secret room in the bathroom.

After doing all this, she walked slowly to the window and looked at the brightly lit city in the distance. Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh at the prosperity of this place.

Although she had only been here for three or four days, she was shocked by everything about this city every day, such as the high wages, high housing prices, and high rents here.

She is a full-time cadre in China and earns an 18th-level salary, which is 89 yuan per month. This is definitely a high salary in China, where the salary is 36 yuan.

But here, any cleaning person in the company earns 2000 Hong Kong dollars a month, which is equivalent to about 700 yuan in China.

As for her colleagues, the basic salary is around 3500 Hong Kong dollars, and the department head can even reach 2000 to [-] Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to about [-] yuan in China.

This is equivalent to 20 times her original size!
Of course, the more you earn, the more you spend here.

Take the small apartment she is renting now as an example. The area is only 25 square meters, and the rent in China will never exceed 8 yuan.

But here it costs more than HK$260 a month, which is even higher than her monthly salary in China, and this is not even an urban area.

The price of an apartment like this in urban areas is at least HK$400 a month.

Moreover, people here, whether men or women, almost all talk about money and housing, rather than country, nation, feelings, and ideals.

Compared with these people, Yang Qian, who had a high self-esteem before, felt that she was too simple. Maybe she would have to count the money after being sold by these people!

She was really surprised at how that young man managed to single-handedly crush and defeat the elites of Hong Kong's financial community!
And is the investment opportunity he mentioned really just as simple as depositing money in the bank?

In the same city, while Yang Qian was struggling, Lan Xinyi also suffered from insomnia!
Just this afternoon, she mortgaged her only residence to the bank and took out a loan of HK$25.

In addition to the 15 I earned over the years, I borrowed another 20 from my brother and other relatives and friends, making up a total of 60.

Then he exchanged the money for nearly 12 U.S. dollars and deposited it in the bank. He also mortgaged the deposit certificate and loaned out 58 Hong Kong dollars to invest in gold, just like the current investment model of Xingchen Company.

It can be said that this time she put all her worth on it.This time is the biggest gamble she has made on herself since entering the financial circle.

Once she fails, she will have nothing and even have to bear huge debts!

But Lan Xinyi has no regrets. She believes in Li Yi's judgment and believes that she will not pay any compensation this time.

After all, compared to the mere HK$60 she invested, the big boss Li Yi invested more than HK$60 billion.

Even just two days ago, he added another US$2 million, which is equivalent to more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.

It was precisely because of this that Lan Xinyi took the gamble, even if she lost money, she would admit it.

Although she had made up her mind to accept any outcome, she still couldn't help but suffer from insomnia.

However, just when Lan Xinyi was thinking about how to fall asleep quickly, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

In the middle of the night, she was living alone in the apartment. This sudden knock on the door inevitably made Lan Xinyi a little nervous.

After all, the security situation on Hong Kong Island is really not good these days, and being burglarized and robbed at night is nothing new.

Worried, she first went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife, and then asked carefully: "Who?"

"Xinyi, it's me!"

Hearing her brother's voice, Lan Xinyi finally breathed a sigh of relief and then opened the door to the room.

"Brother, why did you come here so late at night?"

When speaking, Lan Xinyi's voice was a little urgent.

Although my brother's place is not far from my place, it is only two blocks away, so it is still quite a distance if I walk there.

What's more, it's so late now, and if something hadn't happened, it's unlikely that his brother would come to find him.

"Xinyi, I want to ask you, have you invested all your money in gold?"

"Brother, you came here so late at night just to ask about this, right?"

Looking at her sister's expression, Lan Xinming knew that her sister must have invested the money, and she immediately suppressed her excitement and asked, "How much did you invest?"

"660 million!"

Lan Xinming suddenly grabbed Lan Xinyi's shoulder and said excitedly: "Xinyi, you are going to get rich. Get rich!"

"Brother, what do you mean by this?"

“The price of gold has gone up!”

"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Why are you talking about the price of gold at night?"

Lan Xinming said excitedly: "I just received the exact news that the price of gold in Thief Eagle has skyrocketed by $50 per ounce. As expected, the price of gold here will also rise at dawn!"

Lan Xinyi thought about it carefully, and based on the time difference, it was indeed around [-] a.m. at Thieving Eagle.

And now it is a trading day. In theory, it is possible for my brother to get the news about the rise in gold, but this rise seems a bit scary!

"Brother, are you sure the price of gold has increased by $50?"

"The news is definitely correct!"

After receiving her brother's affirmative answer, Lan Xinyi's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate a lot.

What she invested in was the international gold price. If the gold price in Thief Eagle skyrocketed, she could theoretically make a profit.

At that moment, Lan Xinyi secretly calculated her profits.

This was not unknown, but it really made her heart beat faster.

Calculated based on gold's increase of US$50 per ounce, her income will reach nearly US$9000.

Then, Lan Xinyi thought about the company's profits. She knew that because the company ended its business relatively early, the buying price of gold was between 260 and 280 US dollars an ounce.

In other words, its increase rate is even higher!
Even based on an increase of US$50, the company's profit in this wave alone reached US$2.6 million.

Thinking of this, Lan Xinyi felt numb all over.
