American Fortune Life

There are generally two forces driving the price of gold. One is that people buy gold as a hedge against economic and social crises, including wars.

The other is to buy gold to preserve value and prevent wealth from shrinking in response to inflation.

Although the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the euro has risen sharply recently, it shows that investors are more willing to hold the U.S. dollar with better liquidity in the face of a global economic recession, which weakens the hedging and hedging properties of gold.

This is also the main reason why Bardstone believes that gold futures will fall in the short term, or even a profit-taking plunge.

However, Andy, who is well aware of the general trend of gold and the strength of the US dollar at this time is only an illusion, will naturally not disrupt his layout and rhythm for a short-term decline.

Whoever believes that the US dollar will continue to be strong and holds a large number of US dollars with better liquidity, then when the painted skin is torn, what they will feel next will be another kind of tragedy.

The real reason why Andy firmly believes in the rise of gold prices is that apart from knowing the general trend, the main reason is the confidence given to him by the current indiscriminate currency issuance by various countries in the world.

The world will pay the price for the money that governments around the world have flooded in order to save the crisis.

From an economic point of view, the most common and effective way to deal with the economic crisis at the national level is nothing more than improving the social security system to protect itself, finding new economic growth points to get out of the quagmire, and issuing money indiscriminately to pass on the crisis.

In this subprime mortgage crisis, the governments of all countries are facing the most troublesome problem, that is, they cannot find new economic growth points. . .

Then needless to say, the rest can only be self-protection and passing on the crisis.

As a result, the United States launched an astronomical rescue plan, and the European Union launched a rescue plan of 2.2 trillion euros. Not to be outdone, the big eastern country launched a 4 trillion rescue plan! (Ahem, the local government even launched a 18 trillion bailout plan...)

It's just that banknotes don't fall from the sky after all. Fortunately, printing technology is very developed now, with the addition of third-party payment, the rise of electronic money, tsk tsk, what's so fucking meow, even ink Costs are saved.

Both the US dollar and the euro are international currencies and have the ability to pass on crises to other countries. You must know that in today's world, 70% of the U.S. dollars are in circulation in countries other than the United States. The crazy printing of money by the United States can not only promote the recovery of the country's economy, but also dilute the U.S. debt.

Heh ~ As for those countries that do not control the international currency, they have no better choice but to bear the pain helplessly-of course, they can ask their own citizens. . .

Indiscriminate currency issuance will inevitably lead to currency depreciation, burying the hidden danger of inflation. The more money is spammed, the greater the hidden danger.

It's just that the trembling governments of various countries in the global financial tsunami can no longer care about the long-term, so let's talk about it first!

Where does it care about the life and death of other countries, some irresponsible countries are like desperadoes, eating Viagra as food.

However, the economic recovery and economic growth resulting from the excessive issuance of currency is by no means something to cheer about, because hidden dangers have already been laid, and you can’t escape the thunderstorm. Even if you step on it later, it will still explode!

Under the herd effect, countries are scrambling to depreciate their currencies, and gold will naturally become the first choice for countries and individuals to hedge against inflation.

The madness of gold prices has just begun!

Therefore, Andy Smith, who has hoarded tens of billions of dollars in gold in his hands, is the one who is not afraid of hooligans from all over the world!

Sitting in the car, looking at the streets of New York where the New York Giants team logo and flags were hanging everywhere, and celebrating the banners, Andy couldn't help but smile sassyly. Anyway, his Giants team brought the honor back to New York and let everyone in New York The people have temporarily forgotten the haze of the economic crisis, and finally they can have a good time, and temporarily dispel the gloom that spread over the entire New York, although this is only temporary!

Jean is the most popular French restaurant in New York and a favorite dining place of New York's upper class.

The reason why Andy chose this place to meet guests was not only the delicious food here, but also the beautiful view of Central Park through the large glass windows.

The heads of the six major organizations came to the banquet on time. After everyone met, everyone naturally congratulated Andy. The Giants won the championship. They all looked proud and very happy.

As a business ally, Andy will naturally not forget to invite everyone to the celebration reception after the Giants victory parade tomorrow night.

A sumptuous and exquisite three-star Michelin-level lunch, Andy and the six allies had a very tacit understanding and did not talk about the issue of Qualcomm stock, just chatting all over the world, and spent the lunch time very happily.

Before everyone left the dining table, the heads of the six organizations exchanged glances with each other. It seemed strange that Andy had never mentioned questioning their selling of Qualcomm stock. However, all of them were human beings. It won't even be mentioned.

Originally thought that Andy was really just inviting these allies to dinner to strengthen the alliance. The six people walked out of the restaurant with Andy, and they were greeted by many cameras and reporters flocking to them.

"Mr. Smith, how is your acquisition of Qualcomm going..."

"Mr. Smith, it is reported that you have received the support of major shareholders and are preparing to enter the board of directors of Qualcomm with an absolute advantage. Is it true..."

"Have you reached a secret agreement with the six major institutional shareholders?"

"Mr. Smith, according to reliable sources, you are selling Qualcomm stock in large sums, are you going to give up the acquisition..."

. . . . . .

Questions were yelled out one after another, and the entire restaurant was in chaos. The heads of the six major organizations frowned, and their faces became a little ugly. Andy smiled at them, and the ugly faces of the six people were finally replaced by wry smiles and shaking their heads.

In recent months, in order to protect its own property from hostile takeovers, Qualcomm has exhausted all kinds of tricks. In addition to announcing that the current 11 members of the board of directors will continue to run for election and confront the candidate proposed by Andy, it also passed Raise the stock price, and at the same time unite with various partners to speak out against Andy Smith's acquisition, hoping to make Andy retreat.

It's just a pity that since Andy acquired enough shares, he began to ignore Qualcomm's moves, just waiting for the shareholders meeting to overthrow the existing board of directors in one fell swoop, so as to achieve the goal of controlling Qualcomm.

Qualcomm and the white knights who joined suddenly punched Cotton. After dancing and screaming like clowns for a long time, they suddenly found that they were already holding guns and preparing to kill them. This is undoubtedly a very painful and depressing day. thing.

However, they never imagined that Andy not only wanted to kill them at the last moment, but also squeezed the oil from them beforehand!

"first--"

Facing the noisy and chaotic scene, Andy suddenly stretched out a finger and raised his voice, which miraculously silenced the noise of the scene. Andy nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "I won't raise the offer again!"

"Secondly, without the knowledge of me, the largest individual shareholder, Qualcomm's board of directors suddenly decided to accelerate the acquisition of part of amd's business for more than 60 million US dollars, which made me very angry and dissatisfied. They seem to have forgotten that they are just shareholders. Their spokespersons, they should be responsible for the interests of shareholders, not ignore the interests of shareholders, they have violated their professional ethics!"

Andy smiled lightly, and reached out his hand to signal the heads of the six major institutions. Under the gaze of all the reporters, he continued: "I am very happy. The public support of the shareholders of the six major institutions is a big victory for me, and it is also a vote for Qualcomm's board of directors. Thank you for your vote of no confidence!"

As he spoke, Andy stretched out his hand and smiled with gratitude and sincerity on his face, but in his heart, the representatives of the six major organizations shook hands and thanked him silently and depressed.
