"Aren't you afraid that they all run away?"
Sitting in the office, Heidi asked Li Yifan to arrive with a smile.
"It's been so long, and I quit my job and I have collected my money. How could they run away?"
Li Yifan replied with a smile, but what he thought was that he had eaten a short mouth and took a short hand. No one of these guys had paid $50,000 in the settlement fee during this period. Then he flew from all over the world to Xiangjiang in the first class and stayed in the most luxurious Peninsula hotel, eating and taking. During this period, it had already cost more than $500,000 to arrange food and accommodation for these people. Even if the settlement fee was included, he had thrown over $2 million on them.
I can't bear to let my child go to trap the wolf, and I threw so many of them away. Do they still want to run away? How is that possible!
Besides, the reason why these guys quit their original jobs and came to Xiangjiang thousands of miles away was not for the sake of big red envelopes or greater opportunities? How could they be willing to retreat when they were about to kick?
A full-floor office building, half of which is located in isolation rooms. As these super traders, the lounges where they don’t work, all have beds, wardrobes, desks and TVs installed. As for computers, they are only in the office hall, computers that can only be used for transactions. Therefore, these people can be said to be completely under their own monitoring state, and it is basically unlikely that they want to play in a rat trading or leak information.
When these people were settled, Li Yifan asked them all to the trading hall and began to assign tasks.
This operation is mainly divided into two parts, one is aimed at the European market, and the other is focused on the Asian market.
Before this hype, he had been hesitating about which project to operate. In his mind, he had two suitable alternative projects, one was gold and the other was euro.
In recent years, since the United States fought in Kosovo, the investment environment in Europe has not been very good, because of the Kosovo War and the flow of a large number of Eastern European refugees, which has led to the situation of several developed economies in Western Europe not particularly good, especially in terms of the investment environment.
Because they are worried about the revenge of the Russians and the state of Kosovo, many people dare not make large investments in Europe. In addition, the Americans contributed to the fuel, which also led to the average economic situation in the European region.
Because of this, the euro has been hovering at a low level since the Kosovo War. In Li Yifan's view, this is actually a very suitable investment node.
But compared with gold, Li Yifan knows that the euro's increase may not be as powerful as gold.
Moreover, when the 9/11 incident broke out, after the incident broke out, people could not understand the truth of the incident clearly at the first time, and did not know that it was a terrorist attack specifically targeting the United States. They also did not know whether such terrorist attacks would be staged in European countries. They were worried about various paper currencies, so the increase in the euro did not seem to have suddenly increased, so compared with the euro, gold seems to be the most suitable operation object.
As someone who had studied the trend of gold within ten years, Li Yifan knew deeply how powerful the price of gold futures rose on the day of the 9/11 incident.
Although it took ten years to see that the price of gold exceeded more than 1,000 US dollars, and even once rose to more than 1,300 US dollars per ounce, but from the current price to such a price, it took ten years, and many other changes occurred in the meantime. The most prominent of these is that after the financial crisis in 2008, the US government continued to use monetary easing policies to irrigate the market and exported the crisis to foreign countries.
It is precisely because of the continuous depreciation of the US dollar that the price of the US dollar in later generations was creating the extraordinary price. However, before that, although the international market did not fluctuate on a large scale, the price of gold was also rising, but it was in a steady and rising stage. After several declines and consolidation, the gold rose to such an outrageous price when governments around the world poured water and printed money together.
Now the price of gold is only between 260 and 270 US dollars per ounce. If he remembers correctly, on the day of the outbreak of 9/11, the price of gold futures rose sharply from 270 US dollars to a maximum of 289 US dollars. Although it fell back at the close, the price of more than 14 yuan increased throughout the day. It seemed that the increase on that day reached more than 5%, which was the record of the largest increase on the day in decades.
Li Yifan remembers these details very clearly.
So after hesitation, he decided to choose to operate gold first.
"Okay, everyone, your primary job will be divided into three groups now. I think everyone present has experience in operating gold. So you should know the four largest gold futures markets in the world. New York, London, Zurich, and Tokyo. Now I hope you can find like-minded people with you, divide them into three groups, and then get an account from me to prepare for the next transaction."
These financial elites in the audience are naturally very familiar with this division. It seems that the boss has prepared enough vests to make a full attack in three of the four major gold markets in the world.
Indeed, before Li Yifan prepared this operation, he asked Heidi to prepare enough vests for him. In order not to attract the attention of the outside world, he did not intend to put all his funds in a certain market, but chose three of the world's four major gold markets.
The New York Stock Exchange did not consider it because on the day the plane hit the building, the New York trading market was almost paralyzed.
Li Yifan didn't want to miss the other three markets. It just needs to be said that London is the largest gold trading market in the world. Even the Americans who later had to bow their heads like the British in foreign exchange and gold trading. Who made the ancestors leave their wealth with too thick?
In the London trading market, there are mainly a few big players, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, etc.
The Zurich gold market is a gold trading market that emerged after World War II. This market is mainly composed of three companies: Swiss Bank, Credit Suisse, and United Bank.
The reason why this market has flourished is that they have a secret agreement with South Africa, the world's largest gold producer, to obtain 80% of South Africa's gold production every year. On the other hand, it is because the market is very private, which makes it the world's largest transit place for private gold storage and lending, and has flourished the local gold market.
The third thing Li Yifan didn't plan to let go is Japan's Tokyo gold market. The main players behind this market are Mitsubishi Bank, Sumitomo Bank, Fuji Bank, and First Quaternary Bank, which are well-known banking consortiums in Japan.
However, the market has not yet opened gold futures trading, and it adopts a fixed-trading trading model. However, in order to obtain greater benefits, the regular trading is often opened by major banks, and in order to obtain greater benefits, the regular trading is also scary. Moreover, without attracting the attention of the Japanese government, everyone often likes to play European and American trading in private. As long as they discuss it with them, they can play anything. Who makes the Japanese also like gambling nations?
Therefore, after the New York Stock Exchange was excluded, these three gold markets were the markets that Li Yifan paid the most attention to in this action.
Soon, the thirty people were automatically divided into three groups, each group was responsible for a market. Among them, the most people were in the London market, about fifteen people, and at least six people were in the Zurich market. The rest were all Japanese traders and Hong Kong traders who were familiar with the Tokyo gold market.
After all, compared with the London gold market and the Tokyo gold market, the gold market in Zurich is too secret, and not many people are qualified to play around.
"Now your main task is to find suitable entry candidates in your respective markets. The most important thing is to get me the largest leverage ratio. Now I will announce the allocation of funds. The London market is 50 million US dollars, the Tokyo market is 40 million US dollars, and the Zurich market is 10 million US dollars. My requirement is the lowest entry leverage ratio, no less than thirty times..."
Li Yifan looked at the super trader present and said that in order not to attract the attention of regulatory authorities in various countries, this entry is also more particular, because he has a lot of vest accounts and uses a lot of funds, so he is destined not to use the account of the same exchange. Finding a suitable entry path has become the business of these traders. However, the conditions given by Li Yifan are very simple, that is, the leverage given by these channels is definitely the higher the better.
After all, the higher the leverage you give, the more you can earn.
Unfortunately, the current market situation is not the case. I don’t want the Americans to make the subprime mortgage crisis so hot. At that time, as long as you have one million US dollars in your hand and want to enter the market, those exchanges can often expel leverage of more than one hundred times, or even two or three hundred times of leverage.
