Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

How about Chapter 485?

Gu Weijun was convinced!
Therefore, there is a saying that is particularly popular in later generations: "You saw it 50 years earlier than we did!"

It should be said that the older you get, the more you experience life and the more you agree with this sentence.
It is really the luck of the Chinese people!
Gu Weijun blew out a smoke ring and asked about other things, "Uncle, last time I said that the Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Semiconductor had made progress in research and development, why is there no news again?"

“When I left the country, I was told that many college students from Tsinghua University and Peking University were assigned there, and many relevant technicians were also transferred from below to strengthen research.”

Ambassador Huang was silent, "I am also particularly concerned about the second payment."

"I asked our comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to the Institute of Semiconductors to inquire. Now the place can basically be described as brightly lit, and research takes place all night long."

"When you are tired, just find a place to sleep in the office, and continue studying when you wake up."

"And the most advanced research directions in the world that you have been sending to China through several of your female friends."

"The initial technological progress was very big, but"

What does Gu Weijun hate the most, but to breathe a sigh of relief?
"But feedback from the semiconductor side said that now it is stuck on the accuracy of the lithography machine, and it has to be publicized about what the lithography machine is called."

"Is this thing made of light?"

"There are still materials, whether to add another 0.5 inches or 1 inch. In short, there is progress, but we have to wait."

Gu Weijun frowned and said, "That's not right. We have successfully developed a large computer capable of millions of operations per second in China before, and the foundation is already very solid."

"According to my estimation, if it is the most basic game console motherboard, it is the computer required by the United States, specifically for playing games."

"There should be results soon."

Ambassador Huang spread his hands and said, "I don't know about this. Do you want me to approve your leave now? Go back and take a look for yourself."

Gu Weijun was about to nod when he suddenly remembered about the silver futures. "Wait a minute, I have to go back to New York with them. There's something going on on Wall Street. I'll help them take care of it before I go back."

"It's estimated that it will take another two months."

"Well, that's okay. The Autumn Canton Fair will be held in September in two months. You might as well go back at that time. You can do more than one thing with one stone!" Ambassador Huang nodded, and suddenly asked curiously: "Junzi, you two What are girls doing on Wall Street?"

"Isn't that a place where you can play capitalist tricks like stocks and futures?"

"Ahem, that's right!" Gu Weijun said nonsensically, "They are playing silver futures now, and they need me to use the I Ching method to help them."

"I Ching?" Ambassador Huang was confused. "Heaven moves vigorously and a gentleman strives for self-improvement? How can this help?"

Suddenly, Ambassador Huang came to his senses and was stunned, "Junzi, are you telling fortunes with them?"

"Ahem, it's just fortune telling."

"You" Ambassador Huang pointed at Gu Weijun tremblingly, not knowing what to say?

"You want to use feudalism to overthrow capitalism. Don't lose your temper. By then, you won't be able to get the second money for domestic computer research and the money for ordering raw silk."

"Don't worry, this has been planned in advance. Besides, in a sense, capitalism can't catch up with feudalism?"

"How to say?"

"Feudalism at least promotes some positive things, such as benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom and trust. What about capitalism? It's pure self-interest." "That's true, so we have been avoiding this kind of thing happening in the country."

"The concept of class, the charter of socialism, and the ideal of communism must not be forgotten!"

Gu Weijun smiled bitterly and sighed, "Yes, that's right."

After signing a contract with the Liaison Office, he readily paid the first year's rent. After completing the task, Gu Weijun went to accompany Jane Xibao and Taylor on trips in Washington and surrounding areas as the liaison person for the raw silk trade and computer projects.

There is not much to see in Washington. There are very few people. It is a small town, but there are quite a few tourists here.

Gu Weijun followed Jean Seberg and Taylor and watched an opera, a concert, and a ballet at the Kennedy Performance Center; he also went to watch a baseball game and a football game. Two weeks passed. .

The time has also slipped to July. As the weather gets hotter and the settlement date of short-term futures in August gradually approaches, the temperature of the silver futures market continues to rise.

Now the silver futures have risen to 4.8 US dollars, and Gu Weijun's position cost has also reached 4 US dollars. The position is already 4000 million US dollars, with 800 million of their own funds invested, and the floating profit has reached 300 million.

The previous sweep of goods below $3.5 only brought in less than $400 million. Then, under remote command, the price of the position was set below $4.

This is also the reason why Jane Xibao and Taylor must have been staying in Washington with Gu Weijun.

But just as they were preparing to go to the beach in Miami for the weekend, the market changed again. The price of silver futures took a sharp turn, and short positions of up to 4000 million were smashed down.

The price of silver futures dropped to US$2.9, which frightened Jean Seberg and Taylor. In just two days, they had already lost US$1100 million.
The two of them were so frightened that they took Gu Weijun back to New York overnight.

"Gu, what should we do? The Chicago Exchange is already urging us to pay the margin, otherwise our 4000 million position may be forced to be liquidated!"

In the Quantum Fund office on Wall Street, Jean Seberg and Taylor were already a little confused after receiving the call, "Don't worry, we still have 5000 million shells in the bank. These are enough, as long as we are not greedy."

"In fact, the real value of silver futures is only about 1 US dollar, and now the other party has played its cards, which is very good!"

Gu Weijun bit the cigar in his mouth, shook the red wine in one hand, and looked at the sunrise outside the window, "Come on, you two come over and watch the sunrise."

"Look, what a beautiful morning it is. The red sun shines on the world. Sooner or later, it will sweep away all the evil spirits!"

Taylor's high heels were almost broken by her. She kept knocking on the ground, and she saw that the marble slab was about to be broken by her. "My dear, please stop showing off your theory!"

"Where are the 5000 million shells left? If we continue to enter the market, once our positions exceed 6000 million, as long as the short sellers suppress the price to 1 US dollar, our 6000 million will not have a penny!"

"Do you know what this 6000 million means?"

"This means the average annual income of the eight major Hollywood film companies!"

"You know you can have parties every day for a year, and there will be young models wearing vacuum tops or no swimsuits at all to seduce you every day!"

"This 6000 million can allow each of the three of us to buy my own private jet."

"Oh my God!"

"There is still one month until the delivery. I already feel like I'm going crazy!"
