I Am a Nobleman in England

By the way, how is the trend of US stocks and gold? "

When Smithjama was about to get up and leave, Arthur asked with concern. Although the gold futures in his hand had been cleared long ago, after all, there were still tons of spot gold lying in the bank vault, and the U.S. stock market was his most important position.

"not optimistic."

Smith shook his head and replied, "Although, due to the remarks made by Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke yesterday, which suppressed the dollar, spot gold rose 0.5% after the opening this morning, ending its three-day losing streak.

However, U.S. stocks opened sharply lower, and the Dow fell more than 100 points in early trading. That boosted risk aversion, hitting demand for riskier assets.

At the same time, the British Bureau of Statistics announced this morning that the monthly rate of British manufacturing output in October was flat, and the annual rate fell by 7.8%, which was previously expected to increase by 0.4% monthly and by 7.2% annually. This shows that the British manufacturing industry is still weak, suppressing the pound to fall, the pound against the dollar fell further from 1.6316 in New York time, and then the exchange rate fell below the integer level of 1.6300.

Spot gold is currently quoted in US dollars per ounce, and the price of gold has fallen in the past few trading days, although it has attracted investors to buy on dips. However, according to our analysis, if the US dollar strengthens, it will be difficult for gold prices to stabilize at the current price. "

"Hehe, it seems that the US dollar will no longer be a pure safe-haven asset, or become a measure of value!" Arthur narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile.

"The point is again that Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has benefited the dollar by saying that interest rates will remain on hold for an extended period given that the recovery is still fragile. The dollar has benefited from economic data a few times over the past five months Stronger, but I think it will soon return to the more common pattern of positive data that is negative for the dollar. I am still bullish on the gold market." Angela said from the side.

"Well, I also like gold, but for now, let's focus on the euro. After the profit is closed, we can go both ways. Gold futures and shorting the euro must not be let go." Arthur's eyes brightened, said with a smile.

"Boss, if this happens, our manpower will be a little tight." Smith Jama said in a difficult way.

"Hehe, then recruit people. It's time to expand the scale of the investment company. By the way, Angela, your advisory group should also expand the scale. In the coming year, there will be an IPO and acquisition of the coastal power plant, and there will be too much work. Don’t let there be a shortage of manpower at that time.”

Everything is developing in a positive direction. After getting along and getting to know Smith Jama during this period, he is basically satisfied. It is time to expand the team of the two and give them more trust and power. .

"Good boss."

Angela and Jama Smith said in unison, with happy smiles on their faces.

"By the way, there is one more thing. Christmas will be celebrated in more than ten days. Although everyone has not worked for me for too long, the work efficiency and results during this period are very remarkable. I am also very satisfy.

In this way, Smith, the top and bottom of the investment company will each give out a Christmas bonus of 10,000 pounds, 20,000 for the middle-level, and 50,000 for you. Everyone will have a happy Christmas. "Arthur leaned comfortably on the boss chair and said with a smile.

"Thanks to the boss for his generosity, I think everyone will be very happy and grateful to the boss."

Arthur didn't care about Smith's thanks, he just waved his hand with a smile, and said, "I said, I'm not a stingy person, let me tell you, this time short the euro, everyone should do it well,

The more I harvest, the more bonuses they get! "

"Okay boss, I will definitely tell everyone what you said." Smith Jama said happily with a smile on his face.

Arthur nodded, and after Smith left, he smiled and said to Angela: "It's Christmas, and everyone has a share of the reward. Each member of the advisory team is 20,000, and you are 50,000."

"Thank you boss for your generosity." Angela was naturally also very happy, thanking her with a smile like a flower.

I have to say that young bosses are really generous. You must know that receiving a little extra reward is not common in companies in Europe. Employers often choose other forms of non-financial benefits, such as Christmas dinners and parties, and celebrations for employees’ children. , small gift or gift certificate.

Although Christmas bonuses are the most common in some central European countries, less than half of employees receive them, and the actual bonuses themselves are not high. Usually, the bonus is about 20 to 30 percent of the basic monthly salary, with an average bonus of about two to three hundred euros.

It was indeed the first time for Angela to see a Christmas bonus like Arthur's starting at 10,000 pounds, and she also had a new understanding of the boss's generosity.

Angela, who left happily, didn't know Arthur's thoughts. To be honest, the money he earned in the past six months is really enough. Buy people's hearts.

In normal times, some bonuses are given out. This group always thinks that it is their labor income and deserves it. It is really not as effective as sending out bonuses on important festivals, and it will make these subordinates think of him better. It is also easier to buy people's hearts.

I have to say that spending money is really addictive!

Arthur picked up the phone and called Corinna, the CEO of the coastal power plant, "It's me, the thing is like this, isn't Christmas coming soon? I decided to give every employee of the power plant a Christmas gift of 2,000 pounds." Bonuses, 10,000 for the management, 50,000 for your executives, I hope everyone has a happy Christmas!"

"Hull, it's me. Isn't Christmas coming soon? I'm going to give everyone a Christmas red envelope..."

"...the papers each give a Christmas bonus of five hundred pounds."

. . . . . .

can not stop at all!

This round of phone calls made Arthur completely become a boy who spread money, game work, coastal power plant, martial arts world website, newspaper office, publishing house, and clubs.

Good guy, don't look at the minimum of five hundred pounds, but I really can't stand the fact that there are too many people eating with him now, not too many, and he is now managing nearly 2,000 people. There are several million pounds, which is considered a big deal!

"Paul, it's me, how is your family doing?"

Arthur, who threw out millions of pounds in one breath, didn't feel heartbroken. After all, if he didn't spend it himself, the British government would help him spend it.

"...Hehe, that's good, how about the crew? Well, let's be lively, hehe, where are Eddie and Emilia?"

Arthur, who hadn't returned to the castle for a long time, smiled and listened to the butler Paul's narration. After speaking for half an hour, Arthur returned to the subject with a smile.

"Paul, here's the thing. Isn't Christmas coming soon? I'm going to give everyone in the castle a Christmas bonus to thank them for their hard work this year. It's five thousand pounds per person. What do you think? "

Out of respect for the butler Paul, Arthur did not directly make a decision, but asked for the other party's opinion. After a moment of pondering, the butler Paul thanked Arthur for his generosity with a smile on behalf of all the waiters and servants.

As for the housekeeper Paul, Arthur offered a bonus of 100,000 pounds. Paul refused at first, but at Arthur's insistence, Paul accepted it very gratefully.

After hanging up the phone, Arthur felt very comfortable. I have to say that spending money is really a very happy thing!
