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

Chapter 631 Kang Ning gives in!

In a blink of an eye, 1 months have passed!
In the past month, international gold prices have continued to fall.

As of December 12, the international gold price has dropped to US$20 per ounce.

This price has dropped again by about $100 compared to a month ago.

The international gold price continues to fall, which makes short gold investors make a lot of money.

Not to mention people like Li Yi who entered the market early, even people like Green Brothers who entered the market halfway made a lot of money.

For a time, the New York gold futures market completely became a playground for short sellers!

Manhattan Green Manor!

Li Yi had just returned from the Nasdaq Stock Exchange and was told that Reggie Green was here and waiting for him in the living room!

At that moment, Li Yi quickly walked into the reception room of the manor.

Reggie Green, who was drinking coffee in the living room, saw Li Yi and immediately stood up and said enthusiastically: "Li, you are finally back!"

"Green, after the transaction was completed today, I asked Billy to take him around Wall Street, so I came back a little late and kept you waiting!" Li Yi said with a hint of apology.

"Oh, my friend, you don't need to be sorry for this, not to mention that I just came here not long ago!"

Then Reggie Green said again: "I heard that you made several beautiful moves on Nasdaq and won several beautiful battles. Congratulations!"

"Haha, it's a small fight, not worth mentioning!" Li Yi said with a smile.

"Li, you Chinese are good at everything, but you are too modest!"

Then Reggie Green continued: "It only took you more than a month to go from 1500 million to 1.6 million U.S. dollars. Even if you look at the entire Wall Street, there are few investment results that can compare with you. How can you do it?" Not worth mentioning?"

Li Yi smiled and did not dwell on this issue, but directly changed the subject: "Green, why are you here today? Is there something wrong?"

In Reggie Green's view, what he just said was just modest words. After all, such a record is indeed very impressive.

But in Li Yi's eyes, it is really nothing.

His investment in Nasdaq was indeed not to make money, but to familiarize himself with the rules of U.S. stocks and to prepare for future investment in U.S. stocks.

No way, there are not many places in the world where stocks can be traded. Li Yi is only optimistic about Hong Kong stocks, US stocks and Japanese stocks.

However, the Hong Kong stock market is currently in a slump, and the Japanese stock market is in turmoil. Only U.S. stocks are more suitable for Li Yi's operation.

Therefore, he is really just learning and practicing now.

Otherwise, with his character, how could he be willing to be a small retail investor, and he would have been a banker long ago.

But he didn't want to explain these things to Reggie Green. He just knew some things in his heart and there was no need to say them out loud.

Reggie Green didn't say much. After hearing Li Yi's question, the smile on his face dropped and he said: "Li, I came here mainly to ask you when we will close the network and settle the settlement!"

"Do you want to close the net?" Li Yi asked with a frown.

Reggie Green was silent for a moment, and then said: "I have this idea. Now the international gold price is on the rise again. I'm worried that if this continues, the gold price will suddenly rebound!"

In fact, there are many people who hold this idea in the entire market. With the international gold price falling below the $400 mark, many people believe that the price of gold has hit the bottom. Even if it can fall further, it will not fall much further. , it will never fall below the 300 mark!
Therefore, some investors with a more cautious personality began to close the network and settle accounts, and there are not a few such people.

With the settlement of a large number of repurchase contracts by these people, the price of gold has not only stopped the downward trend in the past few days, but also has an upward trend.

Under such circumstances, Reggie Green was also a little shaken!

"Green, do you think the price of gold has hit bottom?" Li Yi asked. “Probably not yet, after all, the Federal Reserve’s third round of interest rate hikes has not yet started!”

After changing his voice, Reggie Green said again: "But I think even if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, it will cause the international gold price to fall further, but the magnitude will not be very large. It will reach the limit if it falls to 350 US dollars at most. And we are now We’ve already made a lot of money, so it’s better to be safe!”

It’s no wonder that Reggie Green thinks so. You have to know that even based on the current gold price, they have made nearly US$8000 per contract, and 45.6 contracts is US$36 billion.

After deducting various expenses, the net income is more than 35 billion.

This performance has far exceeded Reggie Green's expectations. With this capital, they can not only make up for all previous investment losses, but also hand over a satisfactory answer to investors, which in his opinion It's enough to come.

Therefore, he was a little impatient to settle the matter as soon as possible.

Li Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Green, you are the CEO of the company. I will not interfere with you in normal investment decisions, and it will be the same this time!"

"However, I will not close the net so early, at least before the third round of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. As for what the company will do, it depends on your decision!"

Hearing this, Reggie Green fell silent.

Li Yi's meaning is very clear. He believes that the international gold price will continue to fall, so he will not withdraw.

He didn't want the company to be in such a hurry to withdraw, but out of respect for him as the person in charge of the company, he only made suggestions and did not force things.

After a while, Reggie Green said: "Li, I will go back and discuss this matter with the company's operations team and give you an answer later, okay?"

"of course can!"

"Thank you!"

Then Reggie Green asked again: "By the way, Li, Corning called me. They are willing to reduce the price by another 800 million US dollars on the original basis. If you agree, they will send someone over to sign the agreement immediately! "

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yi's mouth raised slightly, revealing a slight smile.

Half a month ago, with the help of Reggie Green, Li Yi contacted Corning, the largest color TV production giant in the United States, to start negotiations on the introduction of a color TV production line.

Knowing that Li Yi wanted to introduce their Corning color TV, Corning was also very active and directly offered a preferential price of US$7300 million, which also included installation.

However, Li Yi directly bargained for 30% and was only willing to pay US$5000 million. The two parties immediately started negotiations around this price.

After two weeks of negotiations, the two sides still did not reach a consensus on price. Li Yi agreed to bid at most US$5500 million, while Corning insisted on the "bottom line" of US$6300 million. Neither party would give in. There was a stalemate.

When Li Yi saw that the other party had no intention of letting go, he immediately terminated the negotiation and asked people to go to VIZIO, the second largest color TV production capacity company in the United States.

Li Yi is not putting pressure on Corning through his contact with VIZIO, but is really shopping around. If VIZIO's quality and price are right, he may really reach a cooperation agreement with VIZIO.

Corning couldn't sit still when it saw that Li Yi was serious. You must know that domestic production capacity is seriously overcapacity, and the economy has been in a state of stagflation for more than ten consecutive years.

Now not only Corning, but almost all manufacturing companies are looking for a way out, so it is impossible for them to really push big customers like Li Yi to their competitors.

So the president of Corning approached Reggie Green again and expressed his willingness to accept the price proposed by Li Yi and asked him to help pull the strings.

Seeing that the other party had agreed to his conditions, Li Yi naturally stopped holding back and said immediately: "In that case, let them come over and sign the agreement as soon as possible!"

"it is good!"

"Let them go faster, I guess I won't be able to stay here for long!" Li Yiruo said pointedly.

"it is good!"

After saying that, Reggie Green stood up to say goodbye and left the manor!
