The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Lin Zhichao visited He Xian again and expressed his hope to buy another 3,000 taels of gold from He'an Gold Company.

As the only legal importer of gold in Omen, He'an Gold naturally needs distributors. Yangtze Silver has become a major player in the gold and silver trading market, and it has this qualification.

He Xian looked at the young Lin Zhichao and couldn't help but admire his courage. You must know that Hang Seng Bank only wholesales 3,000 to 5,000 taels once. Of course, the frequency of Hang Seng Bank must be higher.

"There is no problem with 3,000 taels of gold, but the price has been a little higher recently. You should understand if you are speculating in gold."

Since the beginning of the year, most people have seen clearly that the Jiang family dynasty is over. As wealthy people from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai arrived in Hong Kong, they brought a large amount of gold and silver with them, which turned into a 'gold fever'. As things have developed now, these rich people are no longer simply cashing out or collecting gold, but are participating in gold speculation.

Lin Zhichao immediately said cheerfully: "You have the final say on the price. My purpose of buying gold is not to alert the market, so it doesn't matter if the cost is higher."

Anyway, this is my last gold purchase, just buy it, it will always be cheaper than the market.

The total cost of the gold purchased last time, including transportation fees and miscellaneous charges, was less than 450 Hong Kong dollars per tael. The price of gold currently on the market fluctuates at HK$480 every tael.

He Xian immediately said: "If you don't raise the price of gold, how can you make the price of gold in your hands rise?"

You know, he likes the surge in gold at the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange, so that his wholesale price can also increase. What Lin Zhichao did was obviously not in his own interests.

Fortunately, it is only 3,000 taels of gold. Considering the great prospects of young people, it is just an investment. But next time, it will depend on the performance of the gold and silver trading center.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Of course I still have some funds in my hand, but I have to ride the east wind to speculate in gold. As far as I know, the JF Army's cross-river battle will start soon, and the G Army will completely lose its country by then. In this environment Don't worry, He Sheng, Hong Kong's gold will be speculated."

What he said was not confidential information. After all, the battle across the river would be fought sooner or later, and now the G Army had almost lost the Central Plains area.

He Xian was immediately touched, thinking that this young man was not simple, he knew how to use war to cash out gold. At the same time, he also understood the truth that gold can rise, but it can also plummet.

Therefore, speculating in gold is not a sure win!

Of course, if gold merchants in Guangdong Province can import cheap gold from him, they can increase their chances of success. Shanghai-based gold merchants fell into the trap and speculated on gold prices one after another. Little did they know that the gold they obtained was cheap gold imported from South Africa. Once the war subsided, gold plummeted, and the outcome would be decided.

Of course, none of this is his business.

In the end, Lin Zhichao imported 3,000 taels of gold at a price of HK$445 per tael.

Next, the gold needs to be melted down in Omen and smuggled to Hong Kong. Fortunately, everyone is already familiar with all this, and it can be completed smoothly in no time.

Not long after Lin Zhichao left, He Tian came to order gold on behalf of Hang Seng Bank.

"Brother, our Hang Seng Bank plans to order 20,000 taels of gold this time?" He Tian said on a whim.

He Shanheng asked him to order the gold, but the amount he ordered was a last-minute decision. It was usually three to four thousand taels of gold. Although he ordered so much this time, He Tian had no worries about cashing out.

He Xian was stunned for a moment, then said: "Boss, why did you suddenly order so much this time?"

He Tian said with a smile: "I don't know what happened, but I suddenly wanted to order more. Recently, the group of Shanghai-based Weishui guys have been speculating on gold. I think they want to speculate on gold, so I might as well order more." "

He Xian nodded and said: "For 20,000 taels, the warehouse is not enough, there is a lot of difference. However, there is still gold on the sea and it will arrive in port soon. I will leave you the Hang Seng Silver number by then."

He Tian immediately became curious. You must know that He'an Gold is rich and imports a large amount of gold. Although twenty thousand taels is a lot, the warehouse is much different, which is obviously a strange thing.

"Is someone ordering a large quantity of your gold?"

The two are half-brothers, and He Shanheng, the boss of Hang Seng Bank, and He Xian have been colleagues and friends for many years. This private question can naturally be asked.

He Xian nodded and said, "Someone recently ordered 11,000 taels of gold at once!"

He Tian took a breath and then asked: "I know that the major Hong Kong gold merchants under He'an Company cannot have such an appetite recently. Are they overseas gold merchants?"

At the same time, because of everyone's relationship, He'an Company took care of the Hang Seng Bank account first.

He Xian said: "A very outstanding young man! Seeing that there was plenty of gold, I sold it to him to make a friend. Who would have thought that you would suddenly import 20,000 taels. If you had come earlier, I would definitely not have sold it. His last 3,000 taels of gold."

A person immediately came to He Tian's mind, a person who had recently disappeared from the gold and silver trading market.

"Lin Zhichao!"

He Xian could only nod. Although it was important to keep customer information confidential, now that his elder brother had guessed it, it was no longer his problem.

"It was indeed him! I said he had millions of Hong Kong dollars in capital, and now gold is booming, so he suddenly disappeared. I didn't expect him to come and contact you. It was a good idea."

Yangtze River Bank has always been a big speculator in the gold and silver trading market. Among the nearly two hundred members, it can be ranked among the top ten. Hang Seng Bank will naturally pay attention to them.

Seeing this, He Tian was more determined to order 20,000 taels of gold, which was a very wise decision.

At the same time, he even planned to go back to discuss and order 30,000 taels of gold from He'an Gold Company to directly influence the market. With everyone’s relationship, it’s not difficult to get Hang Seng Bank account.

"Brother, don't promise others to order gold for now. I'll go back and discuss it. I plan to eat another 30,000 taels of gold. I'll give you an answer later!"

He Xian said in surprise: "50,000 taels of gold, are you so optimistic about the market outlook? Moreover, if it is so much, it will take more than a month to deliver."

He Tian nodded and said: "Now Shanghai gold merchants and bankers are taking advantage of it and investing in gold speculation in large quantities. It's time to cash out to them. As for time, dear brother, do your best!"

"Well, since that's the case, I can only push away some other customers! I didn't expect that young man to have such a vision!"

Hang Seng Bank is not only a good relationship, but also an ideal big customer for cashing out, so He Xian took care of it as a matter of course.

He Tian said with a smile: "His vision is very strong, otherwise he would not have created such a foundation at such a young age."

He Xian nodded!

As soon as he saw Lin Zhichao, he felt full of confidence in him.

One week later.

On April 12, the Hong Kong government announced that it would cancel the free trade of gold and no longer approve the import of gold. The "99 Gold" at the gold and silver trading center will be canceled by July, and only 94% industrial gold will be allowed to be traded.

The Hong Kong government, in accordance with the requirements of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreement, issued a decree to restrict the trading of pure gold. Because the "Bretton Woods System" in which the U.S. dollar is linked to gold is related to the hegemony of the U.S. dollar, and Hong Kong and the mainland are speculating on gold, which is obviously not in line with U.S. profits, the International Monetary Fund put pressure on the Hong Kong government to ban the sale of pure gold.

At the same time, after World War II, Portugal was not a member of the IMF and did not have to fulfill its obligations to restrict the sale of pure gold. Businessmen importing gold in Macau were not restricted as long as they paid import taxes to the government.

"Gold is going to soar! Gold is going to grow like crazy!"

This was Lin Zhichao's first reaction when he saw the news in the newspaper.

To be honest, this news was unexpected to him. Although he knew that the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange would not restart the trading of pure gold until the 1970s, he did not know when the trading of pure gold was banned.

"The more you stop buying and selling pure gold, the more everyone will go crazy at the end!"

"At the same time, starting from the battle of crossing the river in April, NJ and Shanghai have been JF, which will also stimulate the rise of Hong Kong gold."

Soon, Lin Zhichao made a decision, and he would finally have money rolling in soon.

The price of gold will soar to HK$600 per tael, or even HK$700 per tael. This is his inner price.

"What good news!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Caiyun leaned against Lin Zhichao and looked at the newspaper curiously.

Lin Zhichao put his arm around her waist and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's good news. It's good news that I made money. But for the sake of your emotional stability, I won't analyze it for you. In short, I made a lot of money." .”

"Well, thank you, husband!" Tang Caiyun said sweetly.

Money is a good thing, and she now knows the importance of money.

For example, her parents complained that everything in Hong Kong was expensive and money was not spent well.

At the same time, Tang Caiyun is also looking forward to moving into a single-family garden house in the mid-levels.

"By the way, husband, the baby is about to be born. Have you chosen a name yet?" Tang Caiyun blinked her eyes, a rich smile appearing on her face.

This woman has a very handsome face!

Thinking that the child will be born in June or July, Lin Zhichao was also very excited and said: "I have thought about the name! If it is a boy, it will be called Lin Ruihuan; if it is a girl, it will be called Lin Yaying."

Tang Caiyun immediately said: "I think it's a boy!"

The Lin family is small, so boys are naturally very important.

"Don't think too much about this. Our bodies are so good, we just need to have more children! Both men and women!" Lin Zhichao said generously.

The so-called generosity comes from his confidence in his body. As long as he is in good health, it is not easy to have as many children as he wants; Tang Caiyun can have as many children as he wants, and there is Tang Caiying too!

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Tang Caiying wore the uniform of Banshan Girls' School and came to Lin's house. She immediately gained a lot of honor. Immediately, Lin Xiner also walked out in her school uniform, gaining glory again.

Tang Caiying and Lin Xiner are both young girls and beauties. The uniform of Banshan Girls' School is a white skirt with a yellow belt around the waist and a yellow schoolbag that is like a small suitcase. Yes, square and square.

Seeing the two girls' school uniforms, Lin Zhichao had an idea.

However, Tang Caiyun is still pregnant, so it will definitely not look good on her. We’ll talk about it in the second half of the year.

Seeing Lin Zhichao staring at the two students, Tang Caiyun couldn't help but pinch Lin Zhichao gently to signal his attention. You can look at it, but you can't look at it directly. Girls can't be so thick-skinned!

"Hey, I have grown up! When I saw Xin'er and Caiying, I realized that I have been in Hong Kong for several years!" Lin Zhichao said with a smile.

Tang Caiying just felt that her brother-in-law's eyes were 'cannibalistic', so she immediately countered: "Do you feel that you are old? You envy our youth and vitality!"

Lin Xiner immediately defended her brother and said, "No way! My brother is only 21 years old, which is 5 years older than us."

There was nothing strange about the way her brother looked at her. Sometimes she dressed beautifully and wanted to be recognized by her brother.

"Traitor!" Tang Caiying said to Lin Xiner.

Lin Xiner ignored her, and Tang Caiying suddenly thought that Lin Xiner was always protecting her brother.

Next, nothing happened to anyone, it was just a small episode.

Tang Caiying has a lively personality but a very generous heart, and she soon becomes as if nothing is wrong.

However, Lin Zhichao remembered something and had a private chat with his sister when he had time, asking her to be his insider and try to give her another sister-in-law.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao came to the Yangtze River Bank and discussed the gold situation with Li Shauji. Both of them agreed that gold would rise sharply this time.

"The Yangtze River Bank still has more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars in funds. If you take it in and out quickly, it can be used as a cover."

Li Zhaoji immediately understood Lin Zhichao's idea, which was to release smoke bombs to give people the impression that they only had hundreds of thousands of operating funds; at the same time, fast in and fast out could also make the market more active to a certain extent.

As long as gold rises, it will be fine even if the more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars are lost! Of course, it is also very difficult to lose money, because Lee Shau Kee feels that the boss seems to have a price in mind, and will retreat quickly when reaching that price.

"Okay, I will handle the funds well!"

Lin Zhichao nodded with satisfaction. Li Shauji helped him a lot. Of course, he also gave Li Shauji a sufficient commission.

"By the way, Shau Kee. You are now considered rich and you can consider moving your family to Hong Kong."

Li Zhaoji smiled bitterly and said: "Boss, my father may not be willing to do it. He likes Shunde and it is hard to leave his hometown!"

Lin Zhichao said a few more words, and Li Zhaoji's expression changed drastically, and then he nodded seriously.

"Thanks for the advice, boss! I'll write to you and give you some advice."

"Well, I'm just guessing. After all, rich people in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai all have this kind of worry."

Lee Shau Kee once again expressed his gratitude!

If it were anyone else, Lin Zhishan would not be too troublesome, but now Lee Shau Kee is the person he wants to support and has helped him make a lot of money, so it's okay to give him a few words.

As for whether Li Jiepu comes or not, that depends on his fate!

The three Li brothers in their previous lives, Li Zhaolin and Li Shauji, all became billionaires, but the third was just a retired worker. If there was no resentment in his heart at that time - Li Jiepu left him to take care of him in his old age, it is probably impossible. But after getting old, he has seen through it, and since it was open at that time, his two brothers will definitely take care of him and his children.

Lin Zhichao also called a relative at the beginning of the year, his uncle's family, and finally invited him to Hong Kong in the name of making money. Then we arranged jobs at Cheung Kong Industries in Tsuen Wan, such as workers and security guards.

This is a test. If they can work conscientiously, they will be supported in the future. If it was a relative who acted recklessly, Lin Zhichao would fall out quickly.

He actually doesn't have any feelings, but considering that he is his biological uncle, he takes care of him.

In the morning, gold prices at the Gold and Silver Trading Office soared, and everyone joined in speculating in gold. After all, Hong Kong will ban pure gold trading in less than three months. This is like the final madness.

At the same time, the Central Plains became a JF zone, and the battle to cross the Yangtze River was about to begin. Gold merchants and financial circles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai joined in the gold speculation.

Hang Seng Silver.

"This Lin Zhichao is very powerful. He actually bought 11,000 taels of gold in advance at the right time. It seems that he made a lot of profits this time!" He Tian said happily.

Why are you happy?

Of course, I am not happy because Lin Zhichao has made a lot of money, but I am happy that Hang Seng Bank has made a lot of money. Because Hang Seng Silver ordered 45,000 taels of gold in advance, although a large part of it was not delivered, the deposit has been delivered and the price has been fixed.

He Shanheng nodded and said, "It's indeed amazing! But you originally wanted to order 50,000 taels of gold, but because he was one step ahead, you ended up missing 5,000 taels!" After saying that, he looked at He Tian with a smile.

He'an Gold Company's gold also needs to be purchased from South Africa, and it is impossible to increase it in large quantities all at once. So Lin Zhichao suddenly bought 11,000 taels of gold, and many Cantonese gold merchants would reduce their share.

Hang Seng Bank has an advantage due to its strong relationship. If gold rises first, He Xian will never readily supply him with so much.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao got lucky this time.

"I didn't think so much! This time we ordered 45,000 taels. It was all on my whim, so I am very satisfied. Brother Shan, how much do you think gold will rise this time?"

Since the death of Lin Bingyan, the founder and helmsman of Hang Seng Bank, in February, Ho Shanheng has become the new helmsman.

He Shanheng thought for a while and said: "It is estimated to be a big rise, and it is uncertain how much it can rise. However, we have the advantage of importing gold, so there is no reason to wait for it to rise as much as possible, and then sell when it is appropriate. At the same time, we can almost control the market next , it’s time for us to lead the gold rally.”

After all, he is not a prophet, so how can he predict how much gold will rise!

However, Hang Seng Bank already controls gold imports. He is also the chairman of the Gold and Silver Trading Center, and his strength can be said to be able to control the market.

same day.

The gold and silver trading office was bustling with people.

Gold merchants from Guangdong who had channels for importing gold began to drive up the price of gold, while gold merchants from Shanghai also joined the queue of raising prices because they were not familiar with the market.

In short, just like the bull market in later generations, everyone only knows that gold will rise and rise.

A gold trader stood in the middle of the patio. As soon as he finished making gestures, everyone immediately dispersed as soon as they saw that it meant selling. It can be seen that the surge in gold prices is inevitable.

Ashan finally managed to grab 5 lots, but had no choice but to quit unwillingly because the company had no money. Of course, he admired his boss's wise decision and bought a lot of gold from Omen.

If this situation continues, the boss will not be able to make millions of Hong Kong dollars?

"Brother Shan, why don't you have any money? Tell your boss to hurry up and raise funds. Gold is going to rise sharply!"

"Nonsense, who told you that you have no money!"

"Tch, you are still being tough. Your boss has been in trouble recently. There are many new Wei Shui guys, especially those from Shanghai. All of them are super rich!"

The richer the better, Ashan thought to himself.

Indeed, Shanghai businessmen are too rich, but little do they know that they have been targeted by Cantonese businessmen.

Of course, although Cantonese businessmen are united and have local advantages, they are still talking about business and will not directly rob.

For example, everyone tacitly bid up the price of gold and let Shanghai-based gold dealers take over. This is also a business negotiation and is a legal method.
