As soon as he came out of Yang Xue's place, Xiao Qi immediately returned to his office.
Because Yang Xue just talked about antiques, Xiao Qi immediately thought of another thing that goes hand in hand with antiques - gold!
The first sentence of antiques in prosperous times is called gold in troubled times.
This troubled time was understood in ancient times as a time when dynasties changed, or when large and small rebellions occurred in various places.
But in modern society, this troubled time can naturally be understood as a time of financial crisis and world economic shock.
Whether in ancient times or modern times, gold plays its role as a sea-fixing needle.
As long as there are various crises, the price of gold will always be strong. The greater the crisis, the higher the price of gold will be.
However, this is not absolute!
Especially in the current situation where international financial speculators are extremely rampant, during this upcoming financial crisis, the price of gold has completely gone through a trend that many people cannot understand. It is exactly the same as the price of oil today.
, are all contrary to common sense in economics!
For example, from 2007 to 2009, there was first the subprime crisis in 2007, then the financial tsunami in 2008, and then the sovereign debt crisis of countries led by Greece in 2009... Such a rare three consecutive disasters
, it can be said to be the best in 50 years!
But how has gold performed?
Tits! Tits!
It will suddenly plummet during this time period!
People only noticed that during the financial crisis, Chinese aunts bought gold at a high price and were trapped by the plummeting market.
People only remember the bull market in which gold rose for 12 consecutive years.
But they have completely forgotten that this 12-year bull market is only the result of a comprehensive calculation every year. In a year, many ups and downs will occur!
In the two years since the financial crisis began, the price of gold actually went up sharply and then plummeted! Moreover, there were two or three rounds of slow rises and plummets, which completely violated the principles of the market.
!
Historically, as long as the U.S. dollar strengthens, it means that the financial situation is good and gold will inevitably fall.
On the other hand, as long as the financial situation is not good and the US dollar depreciates, the price of gold will continue to rise.
This rule was broken during the financial tsunami that started this year!
For almost half a year in 2009, the price of gold continued to fall along with the decline of the US dollar, leaving investors completely confused as to what else could be a safe haven!
Obviously, this matter is being hyped by international financial speculators.
They were so powerful that they took advantage of people's inertial thinking and directly suppressed the price of gold. This caused heavy losses to countless investors who wanted to hedge their funds.
Of course, the hedging function of gold is innate, and no external force can change this essence.
Therefore, no matter how powerful and powerful international financial speculators are, they cannot always control the trend of gold. Therefore, after the second half of 2009, the price of gold returned to normal and began to rise continuously.
But even if the entire layout only lasts for about 10 months, the process of slump and suppression is only about 5 months. It is enough for the international financial speculators to make a big deal, and the banks, funds and private individuals who were deceived by them will
Investors are simply countless.
If Xiao Qi remembers it correctly, between early July and August of 2008, there was a large amount of funds that abruptly pushed the international gold price from around US$1,000 per ounce to around US$680, a drop of as much as 30%.
%!
You know, the funds in the gold market are calculated in hundreds of billions of dollars!
A sudden price reduction of 30% means that more than 100 billion US dollars of funds have been swallowed up by these international financial speculators.
Such repeated market conditions will happen several more times in the next half year, causing panic and heavy losses, but it is the financial speculators who have enriched these speculations!
It was not until the general trend became irreversible that the entire market experienced normal small fluctuations and rose.
The reason why Xiao Qi knew that the first wave of the market was in early July was because it was the sudden and rapid fall in international oil prices that triggered this wave of speculation!
The day the price of oil exceeds 147 US dollars per barrel appears, it is the day the oil plunge begins, and it is also the day international financial speculators collectively exert their efforts, which also represents the beginning of the plunge in gold prices.
Previously, Xiao Qi was unwilling to touch the Eurozone's CDS, which is credit default swap insurance, because he was worried about offending those sovereign countries.
But now when facing the international gold price, Xiao Qi has no such worries.
It's okay if you don't think about it. It's not Xiao Qi's style not to make a fortune when you think about it.
He has two major purposes in doing business. The first is to build a company that is truly at the top of the world's electronic technology industry. The second is to make as much money as possible from foreigners and weaken their strength.
There are many ways to make foreign money, one is to make money through business, and the other is to make money through various speculations and gambling.
Xiao Qi is unwilling to be cruel to our own people, but he has no sympathy for foreigners.
Whether it is the Eight-Nation Alliance or subsequent economic sanctions, technological blockade, etc., have we suffered too much?
What's wrong with getting some interest back?
Talk about Sino-foreign friendship in the mall?
That's bullshit!
They were cutting the meat with one knife after another!
When it was time to take action, they never thought of the word "friendship".
Therefore, when Xiao Qi attacked them, he did not consider the word gentle at all.
The topic returns to the price of gold, which is about to plummet next month.
International financial speculators always do things step by step, and it will never be simple.
After the subprime mortgage crisis, they manipulated international oil prices while also arranging gold prices.
The layout will not be completed until 2007.
At that time, the subprime mortgage crisis had just occurred and people were panicking about the future economy. Gold futures prices began to rise significantly, from more than 530 US dollars per ounce to about 1,000 US dollars.
In more than a year, it has almost doubled.
Under such circumstances, many people naturally believed that gold futures were their safe haven, so they sold stocks, sold funds, and put countless savings in gold.
Not just ordinary people, many investment fund managers also use gold as an important tool for fund allocation. Gold futures account for more than 30% of asset allocations in many cases, and many even exceed 50%.
Since they are all going to be slaughtered, Xiao Qi is certainly willing to take a share of the pie.
Back in the office, Xiao Qi immediately called Tong Wencong.
Tong Wencong is also a wonderful person. Although he has nothing to do with China, during the Zichuan earthquake, he still secretly transferred 50 million US dollars to the Fairy Company's account in his own name as a token of his gratitude.
Tong Wencong is responsible for operating Xiao Qi's subordinated debt contracts. Now that Xiao Qi has earned 7 billion U.S. dollars, he has also earned about 300 million. Including the commission given by Xiao Qi, he has earned a total of about 400 million.
He lamented more than once that he was too timid. If he had followed Xiao Qi's footsteps, he would have earned at least 7.8 billion US dollars by now.
But some opportunities are gone if they are missed, so Tong Wencong can only make up his mind that next time Xiao Qi makes any investment, he must follow his pace.
Hearing Xiao Qi's story, Tong Wencong couldn't believe it: "Qi Shao, there is no reason for the price of gold futures to go down! Seeing that the economic situation in the United States is not good, the losses of several major investment banks may not be small. This year, everyone is interested in gold.
The price expectation is at least US$1,500 per ounce!”
"Haven't you heard of famous quotes? Most people's opinions are often wrong." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Where can there be something that only rises but never falls? The more at this time, the more I feel that there is some mystery in it."
"Master Qi, please reveal more!" Tong Wencong said respectfully. He absolutely admired Xiao Qi.
"I think this wave of market prices since the subprime mortgage crisis is too unreal." Xiao Qi said calmly: "Even if people have risk aversion, it is impossible for them to rise so much all at once! In one year,
Doubling it, no one is behind it, do you believe it?"
"Even if some people are hyping it up, this is the general trend! Who still has the power to prevent it from plummeting?" Tong Wencong asked doubtfully.
"Of course there is someone." Xiao Qi said: "Although I don't know who it is, this force is very powerful! And now there is a key opportunity!"
"You mean..." Tong Wencong is not an idiot, he is an excellent fund manager, "Oil?"
"right!"
Xiao Qi nodded and said: "The price of oil has been manipulated for a long time, and it is now around 110 US dollars. If you see Goldman Sachs advocating that the price of oil will reach 200, you know that they are ready to take action! Once someone takes action on oil, then you know
What will happen?”
Tong Wencong then asked: "What will happen?"
"Oil is the lifeblood of the industry! Once there is a change in oil, investors will of course sell off the bulk futures commodities in their hands!" Xiao Qi said lightly: "In this case, is there any excuse for the US dollar not to strengthen? Once
The U.S. dollar is held by a large number of people, so how can the price of gold rise when liquidity decreases?"
Tong Wencong's face changed drastically.
After Xiao Qi’s detailed explanation, the price of gold has already been determined!
Unexpectedly, those financial giants played such a big game, and even two super markets, oil and gold, dared to become bankers!
Poor small and medium investors, I'm afraid they will lose all their money!
"Pay attention to the movement of the gold futures market. When I come to the United States in a few days, let's take action!" Xiao Qi said as he was thinking.
"good!"
Tong Wencong's face became solemn and excited at the same time.
Another opportunity to make a fortune has arrived!! (To be continued...)
