America's Road to Fame

Chapter 24 New Opportunities
At present, William Chen has completed the acquisition of the "New York Observer". After William Chen arrived at the office, he opened the [Activity] interface of Future Bank, and saw that it had been displayed as a status for receiving rewards, so William Chen directly clicked Receive award.

After being prompted by the system, he entered the item column, in addition to the [Random Temporary Amount Card (Primary)] and [Lucky Perfume (Primary)] that he had not used last time, two new items appeared in the back. look.

The first new item, which he is familiar with, is the [Eye of the Future (Finance/Elementary)] obtained in the [Newcomer Event].The last time he used this Eye of the Future, William Chen saw the report on the stocks in the shipping sector, which allowed him to make a fortune, so he was very happy to see that he had the same Eye of the Future this time. Don't know what kind of future pieces will be able to get this time.

After all, the world he is in now is much different from his previous life.When investing, he will be cautious when using the experience of his previous life, because if something changes, it is likely to cause him heavy losses.

Therefore, if he can have the guidance of the Eye of the Future, it will still be a great guarantee for him.

The second new item was something he hadn't gotten before, and he looked at the item's description:
[Experience Amplification Ring (Elementary)] can greatly increase the comprehension speed of a certain skill, and it will take effect when it is worn on the hand. The accumulated effective time is 36 hours, and the item will disappear automatically when the effective time is exhausted.

It seems that this is an augmentation equipment for learning skills, which can help shorten the time for learning skills.

And what satisfied William Chen the most was that the ring didn't take effect until it was worn on the finger. After putting it back into the inventory, it was equivalent to suspending the effect. However, the cumulative use time was a bit short, only 36 hours, but it was not bad something.

Now he hasn't figured out where to use it, so put it away for now, and use it when needed.

It's a pity that only two items were rewarded this time, but William Chen felt that it was worth the fare to have the Eye of the Future. After all, the previous use of the Eye of the Future could be said to have directly saved the crisis he was facing.

Thinking of this, William Chen looked at the [Eye of the Future (Finance/Elementary)] in the inventory, hesitated, took it out, and chose to use it.

Still in the same process, the vortex in the eye of the future in his hand turned into a ball of light in an instant, and flew into William Chen's forehead.

A burst of white light immediately appeared in front of Chen William's eyes. After the white light passed, he found a picture floating in front of his eyes. It was a TV news report. A blonde beauty was broadcasting a short message:

On May 2010, 5, since the international gold price fell to the lowest point of US$1 per ounce in mid-August last year, the financial market has been greatly affected by the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis at the end of September, and gold has once again attracted attention. As a safe-haven asset, the price of gold has been rising all the way. As of yesterday, the international gold price stood at a historical high price of US$8 per ounce. In less than a year, the price of gold has risen by more than 615%.And because the current crisis is not yet completely over, the market is generally optimistic about the trend of gold prices this year.

When the news report finished playing, the picture gradually disappeared like last time.William Chen opened the inventory, and sure enough, he saw an additional [Eye of the Future (traces)] in it. After opening it, the report he saw just now appeared again.

After reading it again, Chen Weilian's face was unspeakably shocked. He looked at the [Eye of the Future (Trace)] in the inventory, and knew that this thing would be like the last trace, and it would pass through the report in real time. Auto hours after the future time in .The previous report on stocks in the shipping sector disappeared automatically after July 7.

Through this news clip, Chen William got two very important news. One is that the international gold price will bottom out in the middle of next month, the lowest price is 615 US dollars per ounce, and then continue to rise. Standing on the price of $4 per ounce, the price has more than doubled, which is a very good investment opportunity.

But what concerned him the most was the information about the subprime mortgage crisis.Since he came to this world, he discovered that the subprime mortgage crisis that was supposed to happen around 2007 in his previous life did not happen. This is also the biggest variable in the two worlds he knows.

But through this report, Chen William can understand that the subprime mortgage crisis is not not recurring, but postponed, and will start to erupt in September this year. As for why the eruption can be postponed for more than two years, the reason is not his current I can know.

This information is very important to him, because every economic crisis will not only cause great damage to the entire social economy, but also an important opportunity for wealth transfer, and after the crisis, it will also be the best time to buy bottom assets.

Therefore, for William Chen, the importance of knowing when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out is far greater than these two important points of the international purchase price.Because if it is done properly, he can get more gains in it.

William Chen immediately opened the webpage and inquired about the current international gold price. He saw that the current international gold price is about 880 US dollars per ounce. According to the news report in the Eye of the Future, the price of gold will drop to 615 US dollars per ounce in more than half a month. The trough of the ounce, according to the current price, has fallen by more than 30%, which is another very good investment opportunity.

Thinking of this, William Chen called Jos and asked him about the stock market situation. He had invested a total of 5 million US dollars to buy the five stocks he selected. He saw that the total value of the stocks had exceeded $5.8 million.

And Joss told William Chen that the stocks he currently holds have increased to a certain extent, and the total value of the stocks in his hands has exceeded 6.2 million US dollars.Without hesitation, William Chen immediately notified him to start liquidating stocks immediately.In this regard, Joss said that in order to avoid causing too much price fluctuation, the liquidation of the stocks will take at least two days. William Chen agreed, and he will respect the opinions of professionals on these operational matters.

After clearing the stocks and getting the cash, it will be the end of the month soon. William Chen still has a lot of expenses. One is the loan of 2000 million US dollars and interest on his mortgaged property that needs to be repaid, and the 666 million due loan of No. 5000 Building It needs to be returned, and the commission of 20 US dollars for the Joss team, and the bonus of 300 million US dollars also need to be sent to them.

At noon, Chen William received a call from Tom and talked with him about the follow-up matters of the acquisition of the "New York Observer". They had discussed these matters before, including Chen William's plan for the development of this newspaper.

"William, I have seen a lot of related reports recently, and most of them are not so optimistic about your acquisition. This can be regarded as a recent hot event." Tom sighed.

"I also noticed, Uncle Tom, haven't we discussed this before? After all, my previous image was like that. The current acquisition will inevitably be affected by those negative reports, but time can tell , The best way for us to silence them is to use facts to fight back those doubts."

"That's true, but you know, William, I've had a lot of invitations for interviews recently, including invitations for interviews with some TV shows. I think you choose one of them and make a response, and some people will always be able to Change your opinion, we don't care about those who are full of prejudice against you, but there are always some people who are happy to see you recover. And through such interviews, it can also add some heat to your newspaper, and some people are likely to be curious Then buy a paper and see what changes you've made to the New York Examiner, and maybe get a few more readers because of it."

Tom also has his own thoughts on this matter, so he told William Chen.

After thinking about it, Tom's words made sense.Before William Chen, he hoped to use facts to answer those doubts, but as Tom said, he also needed to try his best to win over some people who had expectations of him.So he said: "What you said is also reasonable, Uncle Tom, how about it, you can watch which program is suitable, and I will go to participate in an interview then."

"OK, among these shows, I think The Oprah Show is a good choice. She has a high reputation in the United States, and I also have a little friendship with Oprah. It shouldn't be too difficult for you." Tom thought After a while, he selected an interview for William Chen. After William Chen agreed, he was going to contact Oprah. As a recent popular figure in the United States, Oprah also hoped to interview William Chen.

However, today's matter did not end there. William Chen received another call from the Andal Trust Fund.

Andal Trust Fund is a company that holds 666% of the shares in the 40 Fifth Avenue building. At that time, because several loans due to maturity were difficult to repay, the predecessor of William Chen sold the entire building at a price of 16 billion US dollars. Gave Andal Trust a 40% stake in the building for $6.4 million.

When Chen William’s predecessor’s father bought Building 666, the total price was 15 billion US dollars, of which 5 million US dollars was paid by him personally, and the remaining 10 billion US dollars was funds from various loans, including long-term bank loans. , the interest on this part is relatively low; there are also short-term loans, and the interest on this part is slightly higher.

As a result, due to the unexpected death of his parents, the original building renovation plan could not be carried out, and the short-term loan of about 4 million US dollars had to be repaid. This is also the main reason why William Chen's predecessor had to sell the shares in the building.

Of the funds obtained from the sale of shares, more than 4 million US dollars was used to repay this part of short-term debts and interest, and the rest of the money was lost in his film investment. Thinking of this, William Chen also admired the prodigal ability of his predecessor, But now he has to bear the consequences.
