Chapter 2172
Husband Gains Fame, Mother and Son Benefit
This news means that the harvest season He Yuzhu has been waiting for is finally coming.
At this point, He Yuzhu had no sympathy whatsoever.
He called Lao Lu directly, and on the phone, He Yuzhu yelled at Lao Lu, "Lao Lu, tell the people in Hong Kong to keep a 24/7 watch on gold, silver, and crude oil prices..."
The telegraph machine must be guarded by a designated person...
Notify me immediately of any news.
Overjoyed, He Yuzhu disregarded the fact that he and Lao Lu had no superior-subordinate relationship and directly stated all his requirements in a commanding tone.
However, Lao Lu was also very agitated on the phone and didn't pay any attention to He Yuzhu's overstepping of his bounds.
Instead, he raised his voice and said to He Yuzhu, "Old He, don't worry."
I personally went to keep an eye on the telegraph machine.
It's not just you; the higher-ups also require all real-time updates to be reported. ...
You'd better stay at your workplace and don't move. Someone will probably pick you up for a meeting soon..."
He Yuzhu had just hung up the phone when it rang again.
He Yuzhu was still excited, but his voice was much more composed.
When facing Lao Lu, he can fully unleash his emotions.
But if you get that excited when you're with other people, you're more likely to be misunderstood.
One is that they are easily misunderstood as frivolous and unreliable.
Another thing is that our northern neighbors are bullying Xiao A, which isn't good for us.
Why is He Yuzhu so happy?
"Hello... Comrade Lao Chang, hello, hello, I just read the newspaper."
Yes, yes, yes, it's a good thing for us, but also a challenge.
I personally feel excited, but also heavy-hearted.
Such domineering behavior must be condemned..." Even though He Yuzhu's mouth stretched to the back of his ears, the words he spoke still showed that he valued people more than money.
As Lao Lu had predicted, He Yuzhu soon received a call asking him to attend a meeting.
He Yuzhu doesn't know how many days he'll be gone this time.
Besides calling home to let his wife know,
The school's work arrangements were also handed over.
Whether he confesses or not, it's pretty much the same.
Chen Yong and Xiao Qian are quite reliable when it comes to work.
When He Yuzhu returned to the meeting venue this time, he was quite arrogant.
Those who had criticized him last time now wished they could bury their heads under the table.
Whether it was due to insufficient heating in the conference room or the guilty conscience of those people, some were shivering.
That's perfectly normal.
When the meeting was held in October, the price of gold was only $380 per ounce, and now it is $470 per ounce.
Crude oil prices did not fluctuate much, remaining between $30 and $40 per barrel.
He Yuzhu harbors some dark thoughts and desires.
At this point, if you point your finger at those who insulted him last time and sternly accuse them, saying, "It's because of you that we lost tens of millions of dollars," you might just be pointing your finger at them.
Those people would probably be so ashamed they'd want to bang their heads against the wall.
Of course, in reality, He Yuzhu would never do such a thing.
Don't say things like "be lenient when you can" or "winners should have the magnanimity of winners."
From a collective perspective, knowing when to stop and not trying to make the last bit of money is the most sensible approach.
Just like now, gold looks poised to break through $500 per ounce.
Should I sell it?
In fact, He Yuzhu also couldn't give an answer.
Who can truly offer the highest price?
That's something that can only be encountered by chance.
However, there was little fluctuation in crude oil prices.
After rising from $13 per barrel last year to $30 this year, prices have remained relatively stable.
This is where we really make our money.
It's a very simple thing.
Investing in gold requires using our precious foreign exchange reserves, real money, to invest.
Even if He Yuzhu reminds us again, we can't possibly gamble our entire fortune.
Therefore, He Yuzhu estimates that the investment was only two or three hundred million US dollars. The majority of the investment involved selling some of our own gold reserves at high prices.
As for crude oil, we produce it ourselves.
Starting last year, we stopped accepting long-term orders.
By exporting goods and adjusting prices according to market conditions, they have already pocketed these benefits.
This meeting was more like an awards ceremony.
He Yuzhu received the biggest reward...
However, He Yuzhu really didn't care.
What can we reward him with now?
A small certificate, a big red flower, and a huge sum of money for an ordinary person.
One thousand yuan.
There are no other practical benefits.
We can't exactly promote him another level, can we?
He Yuzhu's next step should be to take over a high-ranking leadership position.
Both those above and He Yuzhu knew that such a situation was impossible.
When He Yuzhu returned to school, he casually donated the 1,000 yuan prize money.
It's not that he doesn't like money, but that those above him know he's not short of it.
If he doesn't donate, it will still have some impact on his reputation as a wise man.
Moreover, silver has already risen to over $30 per ounce, and it looks set to break through $40.
He Xinghua must have already made a fortune.
That's the little money that He Yuzhu cares about.
As for how the goods were shipped out, He Yuzhu had no say in that.
This is a long cycle.
He Yuzhu gained fame, while his wife and children gained tangible benefits.
Absolutely wonderful.
Hong Kong media outlets are once again praising Lou Xiao'e's investment acumen.
Investing in gold doubled my money within a year.
The key is that the money Lou Xiao'e invested was relatively transparent.
In other words, if Lou Xiao'e were to ship the goods now, she would earn at least 200 million US dollars.
Don't forget, Lou Xiao'e initially invested 100 million pounds, and now the exchange rate between pounds and dollars is more than 1:2.
So in reality, Lou Xiao'e invested 300 million US dollars.
After deducting handling fees, stamp duty, etc.
She'll easily make two hundred million US dollars.
Millionaires on Hong Kong Island now belong to the upper-middle class.
Not to mention earning 200 million US dollars a year.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for the Hong Kong media to give it such high praise.
Many multinational banks are eager to attract her deposit to their own accounts.
However, Lou Xiao'e still chose to transfer the money she had already cashed out back to Hong Kong Island.
She is now slowly monetizing her assets.
In the current context, it's impossible to sell off all precious metal investments at once once you've accumulated over 100 million yuan.
That's not called a sell-off, it's called a market crash.
Of course, given the current tense global situation, while large investors like Lou Xiao'e are selling off their holdings, many more are rushing in with their money.
Therefore, the overall trend of gold is still slowly and steadily moving upward.
It's a very simple reason.
If our northern neighbors were to take Xiao A away, not only would our family be in danger.
The entire West is also in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, the demand for safe-haven assets is what capital is currently most concerned about.
Lou Xiao'e, however, did the opposite this time, directly transferring the cash flow back to Hong Kong Island.
And in front of the media, she said, "I love Hong Kong Island! I believe Hong Kong Island will get better and better!"
For a time, the people of Hong Kong Island truly treated her as a hero of Hong Kong Island.
My impression of her has improved even further. (End of Chapter)
