Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Zhao Qin looked at what Xiao Wu was holding. It should be a sculpture of deer antlers.

He didn't know much about carving, but this piece was too crudely carved. If he took it back and let the craftsmen in his processing factory see it, they would probably laugh at him.

"how much did you spend?"

"Five hundred dollars."

"It's OK, not expensive, but these are deer antlers. Even though you bought them through normal procedures, you still have to pay extra for customs clearance."

It’s not expensive, but it’s not cheap either. Deer may be rare in China, but there are many wild deer in Alaska.

Reindeer, moose and elk are not everywhere, but in Zhao Qin's opinion, there are definitely more of them than the hares in his hometown. More means the value will not be too high.

"Oh, is that difficult?" another young man nearby asked with a depressed look on his face.

Zhao Qin smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, count the things you guys bought and give me the invoices. I'll help you with it."

Whenever he brought deer antlers back to China before, he had to declare them separately. There was no other way because these things are protected in the wild in China, so the process was a bit strict.

"Okay, everyone, have a good rest tonight and go home tomorrow. When we get to Beijing, I will arrange for everyone to have a physical examination.

Everyone, come with me in good health, and when you go back, I will leave your family in good health as well."

After saying that, he looked at Wu Xing again and said, "Uncle Wu, I can't go back with everyone. I'll trouble you and Uncle Zhu on the way. Someone will pick you up at the airport in Beijing.

Just follow the other party's arrangements when the time comes."

"Don't worry, boss. I'm here. If anyone dares to disobey, I'll just deduct his salary and dividends."

When Old Zhu said this, he looked around with his eyes wide open. Everyone was silent except for Wang Jiasheng and Liu Jing, who were grinning foolishly.

After all, the two were imprisoned here to pan for gold not long after they entered the world, so they didn't have a strong understanding of money.

In addition to his relationship with Zhao Qin, he believed he would never have to worry about food and drink.

"Everyone, after the New Year I will go to Qilu to visit the elders, and we will get together again then."

Let everyone go to rest, but Wang Jiasheng stayed behind, "Aqin, I'll stay. It's okay to go home. I'm really worried about you being alone here."

"Brother Sheng, I used to be alone."

Despite saying so, Zhao Qin still agreed to his request. After all, if he went back now, given the eldest senior brother's personality, he would get anxious and sick if he had nothing to do.

"Then I'll stay too." Second senior brother Liu Jing also said.

"Okay, let's go back together, three brothers."

The next morning, Lydia arranged a car to take everyone to the airport.

Zhao Qin first watched the workers board the plane. They were going to Seattle, and then transfer there to Beijing.

Joey was also notifying the airport ground staff to arrange the takeoff of the private plane.

"Joey, I want to buy a business jet, what can you recommend?"

"Of course it's the Gulf Stream." Joey said without hesitation.

"Besides the Gulf Stream?"

Joey nodded lightly, then thought for a moment and said, "Boss, there are many brands of business jets, including Airbus from France and Boeing from China. We can customize business jets.

But they mainly make large civil aviation aircraft, so it may take a long time to make a custom order.

In addition to Gulfstream, I would recommend Canada's Bombardier or Embraer, whose products are as good as Gulfstream in terms of performance and design. "

Zhao Qin rubbed his brows. Damn it, he really knew nothing about airplanes. Forget it, he would ask Han Shunping again.

I also promised A Ke a fight, and then I will ask him what he likes.

After returning to San Francisco, he first called Han Shunping to thank him. As for the cost of this flight, he didn't even ask, otherwise he would definitely be scolded.

Because he wanted to buy a business jet, he also learned a little about it during this period.

This thing really burns money!

As for the fuel consumption of the yacht, it was still within his acceptable range, but the cost of a business jet flight almost made him give up the idea of ​​buying it.

Taking the new Gulfstream G550 business jet as an example, the fuel required for one hour of flight is about 850 gallons, which is equivalent to about 3.2 tons of aviation kerosene.

He knows that the current price is about 5500 per ton, which means that the fuel alone costs more than 17000 per hour.

To maintain a business jet, fuel is only the most basic expense. Insurance, maintenance, take-off and landing, cleaning, and even parking it at the airport cost about 2000 yuan a day.

Not to mention the treatment of the crew members, which is also a considerable expense.

It really hurts me, so why not just give one to A Ke?

This time when he returned to San Francisco, he did not go to Han Shunping's manor, but stayed in a hotel in Silicon Valley.

The next day, Yu Fako also rushed back from the headquarters of the fishery company. York also came as scheduled. Together with Chen Dong, the five of them gathered in Zhao Qin's suite.

York excitedly announced the data, "So far, the S&P index has dropped to 611 points. The financial market is in a state of chaos.

Some people think that the S&P will have a big rebound, while others are pessimistic and think it may fall below the 500-point mark. Boss, do we still want to take a gamble?"

Zhao Qin did not comment, but asked, "York, what do you think from your professional perspective?"

York was also constantly analyzing, "Boss, in fact, the national economic situation was still good in the first half of this year, but the real estate market declined sharply in the second half of the year, and the signs of the subprime mortgage crisis have already appeared.

I think we can still take another gamble.”

Obviously, he is the pessimistic type.

Zhao Qin looked at Joey again. This guy was born in Wall Street and was originally a member of Tiger Fund.

The latter shook his head and said, "The S&P covers many industries. Relatively speaking, the index is broader than the Dow Jones Average and reflects more thoroughly.

I agree with what York said about the subprime mortgage crisis. Maybe it will get worse in the future, but the S&P index has already hit the bottom. If it falls further, it will inevitably affect all investors' confidence in a country.

You know, the US GDP currently accounts for 24.3% of the world’s total.”

Zhao Qin had no idea about these things, but he had heard about the subprime mortgage crisis. It seemed that the Americans had to borrow money from their mothers to get through the crisis.

As for how these factors manifest themselves in the financial world, he had no idea how to analyze them, but he knew that he couldn't buy the dips anymore, as the market would definitely rebound next.

Of course, he will not buy higher because he does not know how big the rebound will be and how long it will last.

To put it bluntly, this investment ends here. He is a speculator and it is a one-time deal. As for the future, he will invest this money in emerging industries in China.

In addition to Apple and Tesla, the Americans also have their own fishing companies, so they don’t have to play with other companies.

He would even consider taking action against fishing companies before relations between the two countries enter a freezing period.

"Three days, York, I'll give you three days to complete the transaction." Zhao Qin raised three fingers, his tone unquestionable.

"Boss, don't you really want to consider it again?" York felt it was a pity to miss this opportunity.

Zhao Qin did not speak again. York understood what he meant and turned to look at Yu Fake.

"Look at me, what are you doing? Qin's decision is my decision, so hurry up and do it."
