The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

April begins.

In the morning, Lin Zhichao arrived at the Yangtze River Bank and went straight to the office area on the second floor.

Lee Shau Kee had arrived earlier and greeted: "Good morning, boss!"

Lin Zhichao responded with a smile: "Good morning, Siu Kee!"

Lin Zhichao is also quite proud of being able to win over the "Asian stock god" of the four major families in the future. As long as Li Shau Kee is around, he doesn't need to worry too much about "gold speculation". Moreover, Lin Zhichao believes that Lee Shau Kee can bring him a lot of profits.

Next, the two of them sat at a desk, with an accountant next door.

"Zhaoji, you need to cash out 500,000 Hong Kong dollars worth of gold from the Gold and Silver Exchange for me in the first half of April. The details of the operation will be directed by you."

Lee Shau Kee nodded earnestly. He is full of energy now. In addition to the generous commission (6% profit of the 500,000 investment project in the later stage), he can also participate in the gold trading of the Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange.

You know, originally he could only place orders and trade on Bonham East Street, which was just a small matter.

"Don't worry, boss, I will reduce costs as much as possible within the specified time."

Lin Zhichao was naturally very relieved of Li Zhaoji, after all, others were also in the gold business in his previous life and made a lot of money. Although I don’t know how much it was, it must have been tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to open a hardware factory during the Peninsular War.

Based on this information, Lin Zhichao knew that Lee Shau Kee would definitely be able to create greater profits in gold trading.

But he himself needs to instill the information he knows into Lee Shau Kee for his reference.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao said: "Well, when I get the gold or bills (that is, the cost price remains unchanged), I will officially give you 500,000 Hong Kong dollars in 'gold speculation funds'. This part belongs to your operating funds. I can be sure Let me tell you that in May, gold in the mainland will go up sharply, because the legal currency can no longer hold up, and it will collapse.”

Although Li Zhaoji was a little surprised by Lin Zhichao's far-sightedness, he had no doubts, because Lin Zhichao said that he should operate according to his big information.

"Ok, I see!"

Lin Zhichao also warned: "In this round of gold war, the black and white sides are Cantonese merchants and Shanghai merchants respectively. Among them, the Cantonese merchants are dominated by Hang Seng Bank and Chaozhou merchants. The strength of Hang Seng Bank can definitely influence Hong Kong. The level of the gold and silver trading ground. If you remember these, you can fish in troubled waters in this battle."

Li Zhaoji was convinced, and said: "So the boss asked Ah Jin and Ah Shan to keep an eye on these key member units in the gold and silver trade field, and then summarize the information for me, and I will decide."

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "That's right! This time, you are a group. I earn more, and you also have a higher commission, so I hope everyone will cooperate well."

Others are paid a 0.5% profit commission, which is settled once a quarter.

"Okay, boss!" Li Zhaoji admired Lin Zhichao's strategy and arrangement, he even admired Lin Zhichao's trust in himself so easily, because he felt that he would not lose in gold speculation.

In fact, Lin Zhichao also has reservations about Lee Shau Kee, at least he will not tell Lee Shau Kee - when to withdraw, profit out.

This is the key to Lin Zhichao's victory. For example, in a big bull market, there are many people who make money, but when the stock market crashes, those who make profits may all spit out their profits. And Lin Zhichao is equivalent to knowing when the stock market crash will come.

After chatting with Lee Shau Kee for a while, Lin Zhichao left Changjiang Yinhao. He would not waste his time on gold speculation.

After all, the focus of his current work is still real estate and zipper manufacturing. Especially the transformation of the automatic zipper machine and the automatic punching machine for the slider, he urgently needed to find a direction, and then went to Germany to seek cooperation.

When Lin Zhichao left, Li Shauji became serious. He thinks, what is the most he can earn by making small fortunes with money?

If he uses his boss's 500,000 Hong Kong dollars to earn 1 million Hong Kong dollars, then he will have a share of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is obviously more suitable for him to establish a foothold in Hong Kong.

Moreover, he likes the feeling of big in and big out, because the capital of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars can be doubled or tripled for operations. As long as you don't want physical gold, you can trade non-physically like stock trading, which is even more exciting than stock trading.

In fact, one thing that Lee Shau Kee did not reveal to Lin Zhichao was that he also had some 'gold information sources' - he could learn about the situation of gold imports in Australia from his brother and Uncle Shi.

Wing Lok Street, Central.

Today is the day when ‘Liu Chong Hing Bank’ was upgraded to ‘Liao Chong Hing Savings Bank’ and opened on Wing Lok Street in Central.

Lin Zhichao was also invited. Although he was not a Chaozhou businessman, he was at least a Cantonese businessman, not to mention being friends with Liao Baoshan.

Liao Chuangxing Savings Bank was the first bank solely owned by a Chaoshan merchant. Chaoshan merchants have always had a fine tradition of helping each other.

Therefore, Liao Baoshan's idea was to absorb the funds of these Chaoshan businessmen. Of course, the shrewd and cautious Chaoshan businessmen will not put all their funds into Liao Baoshan's "trouser pocket". What they trust more is the established banks with good reputation and strong strength.

"Congratulations, Liao Sheng's bank has opened, and there will be a lot of money." Lin Zhichao's arrival attracted the attention of a group of Chaoshan businessmen.

When it comes to prominent figures, both those from Chaoshan and Shunde are currently represented, but it is obvious that Lin Zhichao is more popular and has reached the point where he is at the top of a certain industry.

"Haha, thank you Lin Sheng for your congratulations. Come, let me introduce some friends to you. This is Chen Bichen, a Thai banker. This is Chen Weinan, the chairman of our Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce"

Lin Zhichao greeted everyone one by one, and no one looked down upon Lin Zhichao's youth. After all, Lin Zhichao is backed by the Bank of East Asia and valued by Sir Ho Tung, plus he has a Shunde chamber of commerce behind him, so his strength cannot be underestimated.

Next, people from all walks of life congratulated the opening of Liao Chuang Hing Savings Bank, which was much grander than the opening of Lin Zhichao's Yangtze River Bank.

In terms of overall strength, Chaoshan businessmen are much more powerful, and the same is true around the world.

After the opening ceremony, Liao Baoshan also held a simple cocktail reception, which could be described as grand.

"Lin Sheng, Changjiang Yinhao has also attracted a lot in the gold and silver trading field recently. It can be said that it has become a blockbuster!" Liao Baoshan greeted her with a wine glass.

Lin Zhichao clinked glasses with him, and then said: "Brother, I am ashamed to say that I am a blockbuster in front of you. Changjiang Yinhao is planning to buy some gold for long-term investment."

In the gold and silver trading field, assuming that Changjiang Yinhao buys 1000 taels (10 lots) at '330 Hong Kong dollars per tael', the seller does not need to pay the gold immediately (there is no need to pay for the same reason), and it will not be officially sold until three days later. Settlement; if during this period, the seller buys back 10 lots of gold from other places, then the trading time for 'A and C' begins, and it is another three days.

Repeatedly.

Of course, during this period, gold merchants can choose to pay gold to cash out, and the transaction can be actually executed.

But no matter how it goes "week after cycle", the buying price of Yangtze River Bank is "330 Hong Kong dollars per tael", which can remain unchanged, as long as it does not sell during the period.

Liao Baoshan was stunned and said: "It's not speculation? But gold arbitrage?"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "This is my current plan. I plan to invest in the long term and make a little money."

Liao Baoshan didn't continue talking, but a businessman from Teochew shouted: "Lin Sheng, you bought gold for 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. If you don't make a deal, how much can you earn! The key to gold speculation is a 'speculation'. If you don’t speculate, you might as well use the money to buy land and build a building, and earn more!”

Someone else said: "Haha, that makes sense!"

Lin Zhi was not tempted by the temptation, and said politely: "I have little ability, so I think a small profit will be enough."

Everyone laughed, feeling that Lin Zhichao, a famous businessman in Shunde, was not worthy of his reputation.

In fact, if Lin Zhichao had the time, energy, and capital, he would probably be the most outstanding person in the gold and silver trading field.

But he happens to be a "three-no", so he can only drink soup.
