I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

In the second half of 1979, the price of gold continued to be refreshed in units of one hundred yuan, 400 US dollars per ounce, 500 US dollars per ounce, and 600 US dollars per ounce, each of which was dazzling and unimaginable by all parties in the market before. Power is created rapidly.

In terms of oil, with the success of the Iranian revolution and the sharp drop in oil production in the Middle East, oil prices began to rise sharply from 13 US dollars per barrel in 1979.

The price of gold and oil rose sharply, which caused the Wu family's wealth to increase dramatically;

A few years ago, the Wu family spent a total of 7 billion US dollars to hold gold spot/futures and oil futures;

4 billion US dollars are used to hold gold spot, the cost price is 138 US dollars per ounce, according to the current gold price of 605 US dollars per ounce, these golds have appreciated to 17.5 billion US dollars;

1 billion US dollars is used to hold gold futures contracts, using five times leverage, these contracts are currently worth 20 billion US dollars.

US$2 billion is used to hold oil futures contracts, and the average leverage is 3 times. According to the current oil price of US$18.5 per barrel, the value is US$8 billion.

 …

When the price of gold reached 600 US dollars per ounce, Wu Guangyao convened a group of investment project leaders in Zurich.

In the meeting room, everyone's faces were full of smiles, and they looked at Wu Guangyao with admiration and admiration!

The boss once again accurately predicted the gold price trend and reaped a lot of profits.

"Currently the price of gold has reached $600 per ounce, and this price has basically reached the end; therefore, we must immediately throw away the gold spot/futures in our hands. Of course, everyone should not be under pressure, thinking that a large-scale sell-off of gold will cause gold The price fluctuates violently; I can tell you responsibly, no!"

"If gold is below $600 an ounce, are we going to keep selling?" Morse asked.

Wu Guangyao shook his head and said, "Not for sale! The US inflation hit a record before, and the Soviet Union eyed Afghanistan later. These reasons will cause the price of gold to continue to rise in a short period of time!"

Everyone is thinking, the boss will not mention that the Soviet Union is eyeing Afghanistan for no reason, because the Soviet Union has taken a series of interventions against the Afghan regime in recent years.

Morse asked: "The boss thinks that the Soviet Union will send troops to Afghanistan!"

Wu Guangyao didn't answer, but the smile on his face told everyone everything!

Everyone was ecstatic, like an arms dealer who doesn't like world peace!

Peter Lynch said: "Since the inflation in the United States continues to increase and the Soviet Union may invade Afghanistan, the price of gold will definitely rise for a while; at least until the US President suppresses the price of gold, no one can restrain the rise of gold! "

Wu Guangyao said: "The President of the United States will not suppress the price of gold, but will impose restrictions on gold merchants! Of course, this kind of restriction can only keep the price of gold at around US$600; therefore, we can sell gold with ease!"

Everyone echoed Wu Guangyao's opinion, but no one greedily asked whether they could wait for the price of gold to reach a higher value before selling it!

at this point,

Wu Guangyao was very satisfied!

Starting to sell the gold spot/futures in the hands when the price of gold is 600 US dollars per ounce, the average price of the final sale will definitely be higher than 600 US dollars per ounce, and it is expected to reach about 650 US dollars.

Calculated in this way, in gold investment alone, the Wu family has made a profit of 35 billion U.S. dollars, and the funds withdrawn are as high as 40 billion U.S. dollars.

So scary!

After discussing gold investment matters, let's move on to the topic of oil!

Wu Guangyao said directly: "Oil prices are also affected by the situation in the Middle East, and the Middle East is now a powder keg that explodes at any point; therefore, everyone just stays put, and the price of oil is expected to climb to US$30 per barrel!"

Geographically, both Iran and Iraq belong to West Asia. In February 1979, the Islamic Revolution in Iran succeeded, and the Shiite leader represented by the religious leader Khomeini came to power.

Iraq is the birthplace of Shiites, and anti-government forces are active in Shia Islam, which accounts for 55% of the population, and has become the primary target of Iran's export of revolution.

On the other hand, Iraq is rich and powerful, actively seeking hegemony in the Gulf region, trying to attack the Khomeini regime when it is not stable, so as to eliminate the threats it faces and completely resolve the border disputes.

The relationship between the two countries has become increasingly tense and border conflicts have intensified.

Although everyone knows the above information, I am afraid that no one dares to predict the next trend with certainty like Wu Guangyao!

If the two countries only have constant friction, then the price of oil will not rise sharply. After all, as long as there is no war, the oil production of the two countries will not be greatly reduced;

But if a full-scale war breaks out between the two countries, the world's oil supply will have to drop by at least 30%. After all, both countries are major oil-producing countries.

The boss has set the tone for everyone, and everyone has nothing to do with it!

Morse can only say easily: "Our cost is only 14 US dollars per barrel, just wait quietly for the development of things!"

This investment meeting lasted for two full days, because the Wu family has a lot of investments in other fields besides gold and oil investments.

.........

In January 1980, Lufeng Motor Group acquired Rolls-Royce as it wished, and owned two car brands, Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Lufeng Headquarters

Kayla sat on the chairman seat capable and majestic, followed by Lufeng Motor Group President Brooke, Rolls-Royce President Wall and other senior executives;

It is embarrassing to say that Brooke, the president of Lufeng Automobile Group, is a German, a top automotive talent dug from German Volkswagen;

The media of both countries made a big fuss because of this matter!

The proud British think that this is looking down on British talents, and they actually need to invite a German to manage Rolls-Royce;

Strict Germans believe that the British auto industry is on the mend, and now they are coming to Germany to poach people (not just Brooke who quit), which will cause some troubles to the German auto industry.

Of course, Kayla doesn't pay attention to such small things!

Backed by her own man, Kaila only had success in her eyes at this time, and ignored the voices outside!

"As for the Rolls-Royce brand, my opinion is to keep the strategy unchanged, but the output must be increased by more than 30%! Especially the sixth-generation Phantom, which has a great voice in the US market; we must do a good job in marketing and continue to expand market; for example, we need to know what kind of customers Rolls-Royce has, such as top rich people or luxury hotels, so as to make targeted marketing strategies..."

Gary, the head of the Rolls-Royce brand, was relieved that the new boss finally did not change the route of the Rolls-Royce brand.

But what Keira said next made the person in charge of the Bentley Motors brand feel a little bit stunned!

"We don't need two luxury car brands, which will cause a waste of resources! It should be noted that the British car industry was defeated by the American assembly line. We must clearly understand the reason! Therefore, I decided to lower the customer level of the Bentley car brand to The mid-to-high-end market is the main customer group, and the most important thing is to make efforts in the mid-range field!"

Keira's words were first affirmed by the German Brooke;

"Chairman Kayla is right, Bentley will make changes immediately! Think about it, if Bentley goes to the mid-range car market with its reputation as a high-end car, then many customers who can only afford mid-range cars may not be interested in Bentley cars. Can't resist, this is a kind of consumer psychology!"

Wall, the president of Rolls-Royce, quickly realized that the times had changed, and Rolls-Royce was already a private company, and if his executives didn't listen to the boss, they would have to be fired!

In addition, Chairman Keira is undoubtedly a strong woman, exactly the same as the current Prime Minister;

Therefore, it is better for me to follow the pace of the head office!

Wall stated: "I support Chairman Keira's point of view!"

Then everyone agreed!

Then, Keira also reorganized the personnel appointments. For example, Wall no longer served as the president of Rolls-Royce, but became Brook's deputy-the group vice president;

The original Rolls-Royce company was merged into Lufeng Motor Group. In this way, no one can challenge the rights of Lufeng Motor Group!

The new Lufeng Motor Group owns two car brands, Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

Wall didn't expect that his loyalty would be rewarded with vicissitudes, and he felt a little sad;

Think about it too, how could this strong woman let herself be the emperor and manage the only two car brands of Lufeng Group.

Just when Wall was feeling a little depressed, Keira said again: "After Wall's vice president takes office, he should immediately launch an acquisition of Leland Motors. It is best to package the entire company. Leland has many car brands and parts. The company, which plays a very important role in Lufeng Group... At the same time, we need to investigate overseas parts companies to see if we can strengthen our advantages in parts!"

In the meeting room, the atmosphere immediately rose, and the new boss's ambitions were too great!

Wall's mood became even brighter. Here and there, there are bright promotions and dark declines. This is a promotion!

"Yes, I will come up with a strategy for the boss as soon as possible!"

Keira nodded. The German Brooke is in charge of the R\u0026D, production, and operation of automobiles, while the British Wall is in charge of mergers and acquisitions, diplomacy and other work. The Lufeng Group has finally taken shape!

In the end, Keira cheered everyone up and said: "Although British cars have been in decline for 20 years, I believe that it will take only 15 years to form a four-legged situation with the United States, Japan and Germany. And I will invest 2 billion With US dollars in this field, plus loan funds and financing, the investment will be as high as more than 5 billion US dollars; I think, we have funds and technology, so there is only one last step before success, and that is strategy!"

The crowd is encouraged, and anyway, regardless of Kayla's abilities, with at least $5 billion pouring into the industry, there's still a lot to love about getting back to its former glory.

In fact, Keira already has a lot of magic weapons in her hands, so she is so informative!

From the memory of his previous life, Wu Guangyao searched for many popular car models, and then described them to Kaila;

Not only that, Wu Guangyao also has some memories of those potential parts suppliers, and then told Kaila to let Lufeng Automobile Group become a shareholder;

There is also the operation mode of the 4S store. Wu Guangyao also told Kaila that there are no 4S stores in this era. I believe that this method will have great advantages in car sales and car after-sales.

 …

February 1980, Cheung Kong Building, family office.

Wu Guangyao fell into thinking in the office, how should the money be spent?

After selling the gold spot/futures in his hands, the cash flow in Wu Guangyao's hands reached 40 billion US dollars;

If this wealth is not spent and invested, Wu Guangyao is determined not to see it.

Only investment will not depreciate money!

But Wu Guangyao also had to face a reality, that is, the funds were too huge and difficult to operate!

The investment in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan has been saturated, and Wu Guangyao's large-scale investment can no longer be accommodated, and Wu Guangyao also has to consider the impact of a big tree.

Over the years, Wu Guangyao no longer had the idea of ​​forming a large consortium. Instead, he planned to use his sons to disperse his wealth;

In the worst case, once you die, these descendants will fall apart;

But it's better than the family's wealth being exposed to the public!

Moreover, according to the current situation, even after Wu Guangyao's death, the family will basically not fall apart;

First of all, Wu Guangyao has already arranged the wealth belonging to each child;

Secondly, the role of family-run companies is huge, allowing these descendants to truly integrate together;

Finally, it is Wu Guangyao's influence on these descendants, at least in the generation of his sons, Wu Guangyao is their absolute idol!

Wu Guangyao wrote on the paper the projects and funds that need to be invested in the next few years,

for example:

Hong Kong Island requires an investment of at least US$10 billion, and only one piece of land in Central (the Exchange Square site) is expected to require an auction fee of US$1 billion. Adding construction costs, it may be about US$1 billion;

Just one piece of land needs 2 billion U.S. dollars, which shows that this money is quite easy to spend!

Moreover, Wu Guangyao decided not to learn from the usual practice of quietly accumulating funds for the Hong Kong real estate and stock market plummet caused by the upcoming "Sino-British Negotiations";

This time, Wu Guangyao will directly stabilize Hong Kong's economy as the savior!

You can gain the favor of Hong Kong citizens and make a lot of money, why not do it?

for example:

Countries like Canada, Australia, South Korea, and Singapore are going to increase investment!

 …

Deep Water Bay Villa

Wu Guangyao summoned Lin Yueru, Wu Xianshuo, Wu Xianyi, and Wu Xiancheng to the study.

"Currently, I intend to include Wharf Real Estate in a trust fund of the family office!"

Lin Yueru became anxious when she heard that Wu Guangyao had included Hong Kong properties into the family office. These were assets that should have belonged to her lineage.

"You are becoming more and more eccentric!" Lin Yueru said disappointedly.

Wu Guangyao was stunned for a moment, knowing that Lin Yueru would be mistaken, he quickly said: "You misunderstood me! This trust fund belongs to your lineage, and you will not share the proceeds with other people!"

Lin Yueru was a little embarrassed at once, she seemed to be a little reckless in front of her three sons just now;

Fortunately, Wu Guangyao went on to say: "Look, your mother has broken her heart for you!"

As the boss, Wu Xianshuo quickly said: "Father and mother have done a lot for us!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, quite satisfied with the attitude of these sons!

At present, the three sons born to Lin Yueru have basically decided the ownership of the future family property, so if they are not satisfied, Wu Guangyao can only express his disappointment!

The boss Wu Xianshuo is the heir of Universal Group, Cheung Kong Holdings, Hutchison Whampoa, and Wharf;

The second child, Wu Xianyi, is the heir of Everbright Financial Group, Oriental Media Group, and Baiyou Group;

The third child is the heir of Zipper Group and Electronics Group

In addition to these companies, companies such as the Hongkong Electric Group and China Gas Group have been incorporated into family offices and become trust companies.

There is also Laofengxiang Jewelry Group, which was inherited by Wu Xianpeng, who was born to Li Cui;

Originally, according to previous thinking, Wu Guangyao did not intend to let Li Cui's lineage inherit his company;

But after all, he is his own son, and the important thing is to be more successful, which made Wu Guangyao change his mind.

As for Lin Yueru's daughter Wu Xiaoxiao and Li Cui's daughter Wu Yue, they inherited some small companies;

For example, Wu Yue inherited two high-end clothing brands, Warren Tino and Armani, while Wu Xiaoxiao will inherit Watsons in the future.

Although the above arrangements were made in this way and Wu Guangyao's lawyer was informed, the transfer of shares is still proceeding slowly!
