Chapter 216 Bold investment plan, bizarre request

This inspection trip to the United States was entirely caused by Jiang Hui.

Without Jiang Hui, General Motors would certainly not have invited Zheng Haiming and Chen Qi to inspect the company now.

Both Zheng Haiming and Chen Qi are very clear about this situation.

So Jiang Hui said from time to time that he would have separate meetings with General Motors, but they didn't ask any questions.

Of course, Jiang Hui knew that even if they didn't ask, they definitely wanted to know in their hearts.

So when he met them again, Jiang Hui said: "General Motors wants to ask me to help them design the appearance of a model. In the past few days, I have made appointments with some people to exchange some information with me. "

"Now I basically know how to design it. It is estimated that I will stay in the hotel for two days. You can continue to visit and communicate with them first."

Jiang Hui said this, Zheng. Hai Ming, Chen Qi, and even Yue Rui believed it immediately.

Previously Jiang Hui helped Tongtong Motors design a car and earned US$100,000 in foreign exchange income.

Many people in the First Machinery Department and the Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant know about this matter.

Now that General Motors has once again invited Jiang Hui to help design cars, it is considered normal.

Of course, everyone had a tacit understanding and did not ask what price General Motors would give.

After all, this is Jiang Hui’s secret.

“I was wondering why General Motors was so active in inviting you to come to the United States for inspection. It even covered the air tickets, accommodation, transportation and other expenses for our inspection team.”

"It turns out that the drunkard is not interested in drinking. I want you, a master of car design, to help design a new model."

"That way, I completely understand."

Chen Qi and Jiang Hui have a very close relationship.

No matter whether what Jiang Hui said was true or not, he chose to believe it.

This explanation is completely justified and there is no logical problem.

So he didn't want to delve into whether there were other stories behind it. Jiang Hui hadn't acted with everyone in the past few days, so whether they were all doing this.

“When we visited the General Motors R&D Center this time, we also saw the clay model of the flagship sedan that Xiaojiang helped design for General Motors’ Cadillac brand and information related to the prototype design.”
< br>"I guess General Motors is very satisfied with the design work of this car, so it asked you to continue designing the next model before the new car is launched."

"You are here. Traveling to the United States once again earned US$100,000 in foreign exchange for the country.”

Zhu Jiansheng knows all the information.

Now following Chen Qi's words, he also confirmed the reason Jiang Hui said.

He even "accidentally" told everyone about the car he was designing this time. Jiang Hui also received only US$100,000 in design fees just like last time.

At that time, the other US$900,000 and the US$3.1 million from the sale of integrated wheel bearings can be deposited into foreign accounts.

In this way, Jiang Hui's overseas account has US$4 million in funds available for use.

"Xiaojiang, you are really a hero of our Capital Automobile Manufacturing Plant. This time we are able to go abroad, thanks to you."

Although Zheng Haiming was a little dissatisfied with Jiang Hui's elusiveness these days, he was worried that something would go wrong.

But he also knew that it was not appropriate for him to say harsh words now.

As long as there are no problems in the end, everything is easy to talk about.

With this foreshadowing, Jiang Hui stopped participating in the unified action from the next day on the excuse of drawing pictures in the hotel.

Zheng Haiming and the others were picked up by people from General Motors early in the morning to visit parts companies.

"Mr. Jiang, I am Linda. I am now an employee of American Securities. Austin asked me to listen to your arrangements today."

After Zheng Haiming and his party left the hotel, Jiang Hui quickly joined the other party. a car.

This was something he asked Austin to arrange privately.

For Austin, who has always wanted Jiang Hui to stay in the United States and let Jiang Hui experience different scenes in the United States, he is naturally very happy to help arrange some special itineraries.

The more Jiang Hui is different from ordinary Chinese people, the more confident he will be in persuading Jiang Hui to stay in the United States.

"I want to open an account for futures trading and stock trading. In addition to my passport, do I need to bring any other information?"

Linda is a white man who looks to be in her thirties, with an aesthetic It was very much in line with Jiang Hui's ideas.

Jiang Hui did not expect that he asked Austin to help introduce a manager at a securities company, who would be such a beautiful woman.

As the design director of General Motors, Austin must have made a lot of investments of his own.

For example, stock investment is very popular in the United States.

Generally, people like Austin will have separate managers at securities companies.

Looking at Linda, who was dressed in a professional suit and had a perfect temperament, Jiang Hui was a little confused about her relationship with Austin.

But it doesn’t matter, I just want to arrange a channel for appreciation of the 4 million US dollars that I will receive as soon as possible.

It doesn’t matter even if Austin knows about this method.

If he is willing to follow, then let him follow and earn some money.

If he doesn't want to follow, it won't be Jiang Hui who loses.

"A passport is enough. Let's go to the business office now and we can get it done soon."

Linda obviously knew that Jiang Hui already had millions of dollars in funds. , definitely considered a big customer.

Although Merrill Lynch is the leading brokerage firm in the United States, for the Detroit branch, except for a very small number of customers who are billionaires, most of them are middle class.

Customers with more than 1 million US dollars in their accounts are considered big customers.

This is one of the reasons why Linda is quite enthusiastic today.

"Then I'll trouble you."

Jiang Hui didn't want Zheng Haiming and the others to know that he was investing in futures and stocks in the United States, and he didn't even want to tell Zhu Jiansheng.

After all, things like futures and stocks are really unfamiliar to Chinese people.

In everyone’s opinion, if you have this kind of funds, it is better to deposit them in the bank and earn interest.

Especially the current interest rates are very high, far from being comparable to the interest rates on deposits in later generations.

Soon, Linda drove to a nearby Merrill Lynch business office and took Jiang Hui directly to the VIP room.

In less than an hour, after Jiang Hui signed some documents, he successfully opened futures and stock investment accounts there.

"Mr. Jiang, I graduated from the Department of Finance at the University of Chicago and have been engaged in the securities trading business for seven years."

"I heard from Austin that you will be back soon. China.”

"It would be best to have a professional trader help manage this trading account. I wonder if I have this honor?"

After everything was settled, Jiang Hui directly arranged for Linda to help transfer 3 million US dollars to himself. in the futures account.

This time, Linda's enthusiasm increased a lot.

For people in these securities companies, if they can have a few more big clients, they can speak louder in the company.

“I do need a professional trader to help manage these funds, but my investment philosophy is quite special. I hope that all traders will operate their accounts according to my instructions.”

"Whether it is futures trading or subsequent stock trading, you must operate 100% according to the instructions I left, and no violations are allowed."

"If you can accept this, put There is no problem in entrusting the trading authority of the account to you.”

Jiang Hui is not worried that the staff of Merrill Lynch will find ways to blackmail his own money.

Such a large financial institution still cares about its reputation very much and will never allow its employees to do such a thing.

Reputation is sometimes very unimportant, but sometimes it is very important.

"Mr. Jiang, the changes in the capital market are very fast, especially the futures market, which is changing rapidly."

"Many of our customers also want to manage their funds according to their own wishes at the beginning, but In the end, most of them suffered losses."

"It may be more appropriate to leave the funds to me than to manage them yourself."

Linda felt that Jiang Hui had proposed the idea. Very speechless.

It’s not like she has never had contact with such customers, but in the end, these people honestly handed over their accounts to professional personnel for management.

Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss, or you will learn a lesson after suffering a big loss.

“I am quite stubborn, and it is difficult to change my mind after I have never suffered a big loss.”

“How about I invest according to my own ideas in the first year? If we lose money, will I ask you to help with management in the future?" When Jiang Hui said this, Linda couldn't argue with her.

“Mr. Jiang, I wonder which futures or stocks you want to invest in now?”

“I personally recommend buying crude oil futures, or buying gold and silver futures.”

“Thanks to everyone’s confidence in the economic prospects, gold and silver will definitely fall into a bear market, especially this year. After gold and silver reached record high prices in the first half of the year, they have now entered a sharp decline.”

Although Linda did not argue anymore, she began to promote her views.

“Why do you recommend buying crude oil futures?”

As if she knew Jiang Hui would ask this, Linda immediately continued: “After crude oil enters the commodity world, its price customization mechanism occurs. Two huge transformations”

“The first stage was from 1859 to 1960, which was oligopoly pricing.”

“The pricing power during this period was firmly in the hands of large multinational oil companies.”

“Details From a comprehensive perspective, this stage can be divided into two periods; the first period was Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, which monopolized more than 90% of the U.S. oil market in less than 30 years and also transferred its pricing power to firmly in hand."

"The second period was when Standard Oil was forced to break up due to violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and the oil market was dominated by Standard Oil of New Jersey, Shell, and Standard Oil of California. Controlled by the "Seven Sisters of Oil" composed of British Standard Oil, Gulf Oil, Texaco and New York Standard Oil. "

"At this stage, oil prices have been at a low price of US$2/year for a long time."


Finally having the opportunity to demonstrate her professional and technical skills, Linda was very positive.

She was going to let this mysterious young man from China experience her talent.

Otherwise, I guess he would still have to insist on following his instructions to manage the account.

This is something that makes Linda very unhappy.

“The second stage started in 1960 and until now, it belongs to the OPEC pricing stage.”

"With the continuous advancement of oil exploration and production technology, large oil fields are constantly being discovered around the world."

"However, because the market pricing power is in the hands of oil companies, it is very detrimental to oil-producing countries, so in 1960 The oil-producing countries jointly established the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries - OPEC. "

"In the early days of OPEC's establishment, due to its weak voice, it had little impact on crude oil prices. Until 1973, crude oil prices remained at 2. The low price level of USD/barrel. "

"The fourth Middle East war triggered the first oil crisis in 1973, and the revolution broke out in Persia in 1978. OPEC gradually began to control the pricing power of crude oil, and the price of crude oil also changed. 2 US dollars once rose to the highest level of 30 US dollars this year. "

"As of yesterday, crude oil prices have remained at around 28 US dollars. "

"In just a few years, crude oil prices have experienced such a huge surge. Although there are many reasons behind it, analysts from various institutions believe that this price is unsustainable."

"In the future, In a few years, the price of crude oil will slowly return to around 20 US dollars, or even to the level of more than 10 US dollars. "

"If you buy it now, even if it only drops to 25 US dollars a barrel, you can still get very good results. "

After Linda finished speaking, she raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Hui a little arrogantly.

As if to say, come and buy crude oil futures, come and buy crude oil futures.

"What you said makes sense, and all the analyzes are very professional."

Jiang Hui did not directly refute Linda's point of view, but instead expressed his approval first, which made the other party very happy.

“But I think the rising trend of crude oil prices has already formed, and it should not fall so fast in the short term.”

“Just like you said, crude oil has made a historic breakthrough this year. At a price of US$30 a barrel, I think it will create a new history.”

“So I am going to buy crude oil futures!”

Hearing what Jiang Hui said, Linda felt like she was going to faint.

Buy crude oil futures?

There are not many institutions on the market that do this.

If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

"Mr. Jiang, Austin and I are friends. He recommended me to serve you. I don't want to see a large loss in your account."

"The futures market changes very quickly. If you accidentally fail to pay the margin in time, your position will be forced to be liquidated, and you will suffer a huge loss by then."

What else does Linda want to persuade? Jiang Hui couldn't listen to the opinion at all.

In the end, Linda had no choice but to follow Jiang Hui’s instructions and use all the US$3 million in his account to buy crude oil futures with a leverage of one to ten.

“Generally when we invest in futures, we will leave a certain amount of funds in the account as a margin, otherwise the risk will be very high.”

“Although the leverage ratio of one to ten does not count It’s extremely exaggerated, but when you don’t have a penny of margin, your risk tolerance is actually very low.”

Linda was completely speechless at Jiang Hui's magical skills.

Even if you go against the trend and buy crude oil futures, you can do it all at once.

Are Chinese people so gambling?

Any special source of information for this person?

Have you missed any key information during this time?

There shouldn’t be!

Experts at the headquarters all analyze that crude oil prices have reached their peak and will definitely fall in the short term.

As a capital on wheels, the United States cannot stand such high oil prices.

In this case, it is rare to buy a full position in crude oil futures and still buy up.

“There will be another $1 million in funds coming in in a few days, so let’s do this for now.”

"When the price of crude oil does not rise by 20%, you don't need to think about selling."

"But once it exceeds 20%, you will sell it all immediately."
< br>Jiang Hui knew that after the Iran-Iraq war broke out this year, crude oil prices would rise in a new round, with the highest price reaching $36.8.

This information is also a relatively critical information for the automobile industry.

Because this means that the development of Japanese car companies in the United States will enter a new fast lane.

If this matter wasn't so special, Jiang Hui really wouldn't know the specific trend of crude oil.

Just like various domestic stock investments, except for a small amount of very classic information, Jiang Hui knew nothing about it.

But sometimes just knowing the classic information is enough.

For stocks such as Maotai and Ningwang in later generations, it is difficult not to know even if you want to.

There are also magical existences such as Apple, Amazon and Nvidia. Anyone who pays a little attention to the news will have heard of them.

"Mr. Jiang, the price of crude oil is already very high, and it is impossible for it to increase by more than 20%!"

"This decision of yours is really too risky."

Linda now I don't know what to say anymore.

She really didn't expect Jiang Hui to set such exaggerated conditions for herself.

This is totally a joke with your own money.

If the other party wasn't a client introduced by Austin, she wouldn't want to talk to him.

“There is a saying in the financial market that when others are greedy, I am fearful; when others are fearful, I am greedy.”

“Now everyone thinks that crude oil futures are going to be bigger It has fallen, but I think it will rise again.”

Jiang Hui smiled and insisted on his point of view.

Linda Fang was completely speechless.

She also doesn't want to care so much anymore.

Let him be destroyed!

At most, there is another negative example in my management case.

“Okay, then I will do it according to the method you said.”

“It’s just a 20% increase, can you consider modifying it?”

Linda made one last struggle before completely accepting the arrangement.

“No, just do it at 20%!”

Jiang Hui didn’t want to sell all the futures contracts at the peak moment.

If you can get 20% of the income, that’s enough.

After all, it is ten times the leverage. Even a 20% return is already an exaggeration!
