Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

"So...Julie, what you are saying is that you are not sure about Volcker's attitude now, right? What about New York, or what is Wall Street's current view of Volcker?"

Carter was faintly excited and was shouting in his heart:

Gold! Gold! Here comes the Lord!

If Wall Street remains skeptical about Volcker's intention to implement monetary contraction policy and continues to believe that inflation will continue, then gold will definitely rise! The opportunity to make money seems to have appeared again!

"Well, let me be more straightforward. Julie, I want to invest in gold!"

"Gold?! Gold is not a good time to enter the market now. It has reached 534 an ounce today..."

After contacting Carter's context, Julian quickly understood Carter's thoughts. He also guessed Carter's logic of wanting to invest in gold: it is very simple, based on the market law of "high inflation rates mean high gold prices" and combined with today's market sentiment

The recognition that the inflation rate will continue to rise predicts that the price of gold will also rise.

This logic is very simple, and Julian admits that it makes sense. However, the price of gold has risen too much. Even if it continues to rise, how much can it rise? There is no pusher like the Hunter family behind gold, or rather

The "big grudge" is following you to pay the bill.

If you enter the market at a high price of more than 500 US dollars, if you can't sell it, no one will take over, and when the gold price drops... you are not afraid of losing, and you have all your money?!

"Carter, your ideas and judgment are very good and correct. In the past ten years, the long-term government bond interest rate has risen to 13.86%, an increase of 2.25% from before. The market does believe that the current high inflation will continue. The price of gold will fall in the short term.

It’s almost impossible, but the upside...I think the upside potential is limited.”

"You have to know that two years ago, gold was less than US$200 an ounce. From the end of last year to now, gold has more than doubled. It is highly likely that it will continue to rise, but the increase, that is, the profit margin,

Compared with the risk of falling prices, I think this is not a suitable time for gold speculation."

"If you want, Silver! Come to Silver, I still have some positions and I can share some with you. At least there are two Hunter brothers behind Silver to back you up. This is something that gold doesn't have!"

"Hahaha, forget it, Zhu Li, are you coaxing the child? Do you think I am complaining in front of you because I saw that I took action too early on my silver?"

Listening to Julian's coaxing tone, Carter couldn't help but feel a little coke. It was like an adult taking a child to the park to play, and then each bought a snack. The child finished his own portion first, and then coveted the adult's portion.

, then the adult chuckled and said, "Good boy, come on, I'll give you some, don't cry~"

"Hahaha, you are just a child. By the way, you will be 17 next month. What gift do you want?"

"Let's talk about the gifts. There is a saying in China that goes as far as sending goose feathers from a thousand miles away, which means the gift is light but the affection is heavy. I don't really care about this. Let's get down to business, Zhu Li. I want to invest in gold. I don't want to speculate, or not that much..."

Carter’s birthday is on December 25th, which is Christmas. It is a very easy-to-remember day. When opening an account and signing a contract, Julian once joked that it was a good birthday for him. Coupled with his ability to deal with people, Carter is not

Surprisingly, he can remember his birthday.

After laughing and ignoring the gossip, Carter continued:

"It was also the cause of the recent commotion in the highway business district I built in Douglas. I had no money in my pocket... So, I invested in gold. I just wanted to earn some pocket money steadily on the basis of protecting my capital. I

I quite believe that Volcker will insist on monetary contraction. After all, I am a fellow countryman of Carter. There is some news..."

"Well, some time ago, about half a month ago, I heard from our mayor that Carter went to see Volker and the two broke up on bad terms. From this point of view, Volker should not

In catering to the White House, what he is doing now may just be... boiling a frog in warm water? Deliberately numbing the outside world."

"In addition, we all know that this kind of inflation is unhealthy. If Volcker doesn't do it, people like Paulk and Relk will jump in and do it. No matter who it is, as long as the inflation rate does not come down, I will

You won’t lose money if you invest in gold. It’s just that I trust Volcker more. I think he is the one who does this, so I choose to enter the market at this time. This way the investment cycle will be shorter, which is suitable for me now when I am empty-handed and in urgent need of money.

The current state of cash.”

After talking about how he wanted to invest in both an auto repair shop and a gas station, Carter shared what he learned from Benjamin with Julian.

Sure enough, when Carter said this, Julian fell silent.

If Carter and Volcker broke up after their meeting, then everything Volcker is doing may indeed be false. He is still the Volcker he knows, and he did not become the Fed

The chairman's temperament changed drastically...

This was not because Julian was careless, but because the meeting between the two men led to an unhappy ending. The reason could only be that Carter wanted Volcker to increase the money supply and create false prosperity to gain votes, but Volcker directly

After rejection, they will break up unhappy.

It is impossible that Comrade Renzong found Volker and said to him: "Paul! My dear comrade-in-arms, my dear comrade, the United States has reached the edge of the cliff. As the president of the United States, my interests are not important. Don't worry and be bold.

Let your hands and feet go! It doesn’t matter if I’m not the president, but the United States must be revitalized!”

Then Volker, filled with tears, grabbed Carter's hand excitedly: "No! Dear Jimmy, I can't do this. Only if you are the president can you support me and trust me. I firmly disagree with tightening the money supply.

Your election is coming soon, everything must be compromised for you, I believe the United States can still persist for such a period of time!"

Even if you think about it with your buttocks, you know that this scene is impossible. It’s too anti-character, isn’t it? You wouldn’t even dare to write a novel like this!

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Julian agreed with Carter’s idea and asked directly:

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Hehehe...it depends on how much you can borrow..."

Carter, who was a little embarrassed by Julian's directness, smiled and threw the question back.

Unlike his previous speculation in silver, Carter believes that his gold speculation this time is not aimed at high profits at all. It is just a way to make money stably. Once stable, it will inevitably mean that the profit rate is not high, so in order to increase profits,

The only way is to find a way to expand the scale and come up with a financial version of small profits but quick turnover.

"If I raise money personally, I should be able to borrow 800,000 from you. My positions are quite full recently and I don't have a lot of cash. The company will use your 400,000 worth of stocks as collateral. As a customer, it is not difficult to borrow 400,000.

A total of 1.2 million, do you still need it?”

After Julian calculated the accounts in his mind, he didn't show any pretense. Knowing that Carter had no money in his pocket, he quoted the figures directly:

"If necessary, fax me the subscription certificates for your two funds. With these two things, and my face, I should be able to help you borrow another 2 million. If it is more, it may be a bit difficult.

, and it takes a long time to raise funds.”

"With 3.2 million U.S. dollars, excluding management fees, interest, etc., even if you get 5% of the net profit in the end, you can still have 160,000. Is it enough for you to spend a period of time? You said you are the same, how can you follow a black hole of U.S. dollars?

It seems like the money is gone as soon as you get it...Have you forgotten that I reminded you to keep some reserve money in your hand?"
