America's Road to Fame

Chapter 242 Preparing to close the position
After returning to New York, Chen William first went to the Trump headquarters building.

At the end of March, the U.S. Treasury Secretary and the Federal Reserve had already begun to implement quantitative easing policies, and the era of dollar flooding began.

The quantitative easing policy this time was mainly stimulated by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and the Federal Reserve launched a series of quantitative easing policies urgently.Including the month since, the Fed has created more than $[-] trillion in reserves to ease the shortage of funds in the market.

These measures, primarily by lending reserves to their affiliates, and then through outright purchases of mortgage-backed securities.Therefore, when the currency in the market increases, it needs to be invested, and under the current economic situation, no matter what kind of investment it is, it is full of uncertainty. Therefore, in line with the principle of prudence, those institutions that receive funds value traditional Among the safe-haven assets, the most well-known ones are naturally precious metals and raw materials.

This is the main reason why the price of gold has continued to rise since this period of time.

It is now April 4, and the current international gold price is US$30 per ounce. According to the forecast of Future Eye, the international gold price will reach a historical high of US$1395 per ounce today.

At present, the long gold futures contract held by William Chen is mainly divided into two parts. One part is to use 20 billion U.S. dollars to go long with 790 times leverage at a price below 10 U.S. dollars per ounce after the previous liquidation; the other part is Caitlin The fund's US$50 billion is long at US$1.5 per ounce with a leverage of 1200 times.

Therefore, starting today, when the price of gold reaches US$1400 per ounce, William Chen will ask Martin Stephenson, the head of the two funds, to start liquidating these bullish contracts one after another.

The first thing that needs to be liquidated is the bullish gold futures contract of the Caitlin Fund, because the average opening price of those contracts is higher, and after the position is closed, the charity quota for this year can be used.

In Chen William's impression, the price of gold at this time was already at a historical high of 1400 US dollars per ounce, but in his previous life, he had the impression that the price of gold reached 1900 US dollars per ounce, or even exceeded 2000 US dollars per ounce, so for the previous William Chen is not in a hurry to liquidate the $20 billion gold futures long contract. Anyway, he has enough money right now, so just keep it to see the subsequent trend of the gold price.

In the eyes of the future, the price of gold is only as of the end of April. As for the future price trend, I don't know.Now that quantitative easing has just started, there is still room for gold prices to rise. I am afraid that the rise in gold prices will not stop until the global stock market recovers and attracts capital inflows.

……

"William, it's better to be in bed next time, so I won't be so tired."

Alicia tidied her skirt, picked up the stockings that had fallen by the desk, glanced at them, and threw them into the trash can.

She took out a new pair of socks from her handbag, sat down and put them on carefully, complaining to William Chen.

"You are a strong woman now, Alicia, you shouldn't always think about enjoying the benefits, but take the initiative."

William Chen sat on her boss chair at this time, stretched, and said.

Alicia's law firm has moved to be closer to Manhattan, and most importantly, the office is now completely private.

Earlier, Chen William used 30% of her law firm’s shares to give 200 million U.S. dollars and put it into the No. 3 Fund. At this time, it has become 2600 million U.S. dollars. This amazing profit also gave Alicia some Gained the confidence to expand his office and find a better office building to settle in.

"I can take the initiative, William, but you fly all over the world, and now I see you only a handful of times."

Listening to Alicia's answer with complaints, William Chen could feel it. After all, she looked crazy just now, and it was obvious that she had accumulated fever symptoms for a long time.

"Maybe you need a more reliable partner, Alicia, to help you look after the law firm. I need a team around me now, including legal experts. You can think about it, either yourself or give me Find a suitable candidate."

"No problem, I'll go in person. As for the partner, we already have a suitable candidate. A friend of mine has already agreed to join our firm. You can free your hands."

Alicia hesitated for a moment after saying this, and said, "Also, William, I talked to him about the divorce."

"Mr. Pete? I'm afraid he won't agree at this time."

"Yes, he begged me to wait for a while, and now is his most critical time."

This matter is understandable, because the election in New York State is about to begin, and Pete has announced that he will represent the Donkey Party to participate in this governor's election and challenge the current governor of the Elephant Party.

The current situation of Pete is very good. According to the latest public opinion survey, Pete leads the current Mr. Governor.It was also his luck that when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, he was under investigation for recruiting prostitutes and eventually resigned.So this mess has become a thorny problem for the successor governor, and therefore the public's dissatisfaction is directed at the hapless governor, but they all miss the good time when Pete was governor.

As for the fact that he used to hire prostitutes?Oh, isn't it just such a stain after investigating him for so long?So does it mean that he is innocent in other respects?Faced with the current bad economy, the people are fed up with the houses being taken away by the bank and the unemployment rate is high. Compared with the personal morality of lust, they hope that a governor with sufficient ability can change the status quo.

Therefore, the hope is so great. At the current stage where the two sides are finding fault with each other, Pete will definitely not want any news about his family to break out. If the two divorce at this juncture, then the Elephant Party will definitely seize this point and go crazy Attacking Pete, how can you get the people to support you when your wife doesn't support you?She is the person who knows you best, and now she wants to divorce?Is it true that you are a sanctimonious hypocrite in private?
Haha, dirty politics, people have votes, but they don't have the right to know, what they can see is what the media let them see, under this kind of control, even an idiot can be shaped into the hope of America... …

Now William Chen's Meta Group, although the future headquarters will remain in New York, but the two most important businesses are on the West Coast. Meta technology company is headquartered in Silicon Valley near San Francisco; Meta entertainment media company is headquartered in Los Angeles, so California is really very important to him, but he is dissatisfied with California, that is, it seems that the tax incentives here are getting smaller and smaller, not only for film and television Companies are fleeing Hollywood, and even technology companies have begun to flee Silicon Valley. Instead, Texas has won many giants to settle down because of tax incentives.

Fortunately, under the current economic crisis, in order to stabilize the economy and employment, California has urgently launched many preferential policies, which also allows Chen William to continue to tolerate the headquarters here. He also talked to his uncle, if California wants to If high taxes are restored, then the headquarters of these two companies will definitely move out.

After he came to Los Angeles, he met Bramo Norwood, the CEO of Meta Entertainment and Media Company. Apart from talking about Hollywood taxes, it was the recent achievements of MGM in the [-]th Century.

"Avatar" can still be regarded as the MGM movie of the 25th century, because this movie is still being released in some countries. At this time, the global box office has exceeded 18 billion US dollars, surpassing the [-] billion US dollars of "Titanic", reaching the top The box office champion in global film history.

This greatly inspired MGM in the 2th Century, because although the main investment of this film comes from PE funds, it needs to share with them, but apart from the box office revenue, the most important thing is that "Avatar" is different from "Titan" Nick", this is an IP that can be continuously developed. The success of this film has also added another one to the series owned by MGM in the [-]th Century. Now we can start to look forward to the production of "Avatar [-]" .

The performance of "Iron Man" is also very impressive. With a cost of less than 1.5 million U.S. dollars, the current global box office has exceeded 5 million U.S. dollars. Authoritative organizations predict that the final box office of this movie will exceed 6 million U.S. dollars, so the profit is If there is no problem at all, it can still make a lot of profits; and most importantly, the success of this step of the movie proves the money of the Marvel universe movie, which also makes MGM in the [-]th century, especially the work of Marvel. The studio feels excited and has already started preparing for the next Marvel Universe movie.

Then there is "The Hangover", which is completely a small-cost comedy movie. If "Iron Man" is the first major production released after the establishment of MGM in the [-]th century, then "The Hangover" is The first small-budget movie of MGM in the twentieth century, both are of great significance.

Both parts of this movie have already been produced, but in order to avoid internal competition, they will stay in May and start to be released. By then, "Avatar" and "Iron Man" will have no successors, and "The Hangover" will take over. .
