Thieving Eagle. New York!
While the situation on Hong Kong Island was turbulent and on the verge of breaking out, Li Yi's life in New York was relaxed and comfortable.
With the implementation of the Federal Reserve's policy of raising interest rates, the international gold price has begun to decline, as Li Yi expected, and the magnitude of the price reduction is somewhat surprising.
As of the afternoon close of November 10, the price of gold in the New York gold futures market had dropped to $565 per ounce, a full $35 per ounce drop from two days ago.
At this time, Li Yi's book profit reached US$500 million.
To be honest, this drop even surprised Li Yi himself.
As far as he knows, the first time the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in a previous life, the international gold price fell only 5% in a week.
When interest rates were raised for the second time, international gold prices began to fall significantly, but they only fell by 20% in half a month.
Until the third interest rate hike, this time it shattered the confidence of those investors, forcing them to sell a large number of gold futures contracts in their hands, triggering an avalanche of gold prices.
Finally, in January 1982, the international gold price fell directly below $300 per ounce.
At this point, the price of gold never exceeded $500 per ounce in the next two decades.
But what I didn't expect was that in less than three days after the Federal Reserve raised interest rates, the international gold price plummeted from a high of $620 to $565, a drop of as much as 9%.
Of course, the reason why this happened must have a lot to do with his appearance.
If it hadn't been for him, a butterfly that shouldn't have appeared, suddenly fluttering its wings in the New York gold futures market, William and others wouldn't have sniped at them.
There would have been no subsequent large-scale selling of index futures contracts, and gold prices would not have dropped so sharply.
This may be the so-called butterfly effect!
But overall, such changes are beneficial to Li Yi.
According to Li Yi's estimation, if the price of gold continues to fall at this rate, it may not take them three months to reach the expected goal and return to Hong Kong Island ahead of schedule.
In addition, Li Yi's investment in Nasdaq has also been successful.
Although his capital was only US$10 million, it was 1981, and even in an international metropolis like New York, it was a huge sum of money.
In addition, financial leverage is commonly used in stock trading here, so his ten million can be used as fifty million.
Therefore, Li Yi has made frequent attacks on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange in the past few days, and has successively operated the stocks of Apple, Intel and other companies.
Although the book surplus is not very large, compared with the gold futures market, it is not even a drop in the bucket.
However, through these two days of operations, Li Yi gained a considerable understanding of the trading rules of US stocks.
Unlike the domestic stock market, which has so many restrictions, the U.S. stock market is more liberalized and has very little government control.
Take the price limit system, which is the most common and most concerned factor among investors. There is a price limit system in China, but not here.
In the previous life, domestic stocks were already very impressive when they doubled or tripled in a month. This would have required dozens of consecutive days to reach the daily limit.
But there is no need here. If someone is the banker, he can be fired fifty times in three days.
An interesting story has been revealed on Wall Street in the past two days. It is said that a small retail investor shorted a concept stock and had a surplus of more than one million US dollars in his account before going to bed. However, when he woke up, he found that not only his position was liquidated, but he also owed five or six dollars. Millions because the stock he was shorting rose sevenfold in one day.
So there are more monster stocks in the stock market here, but people are already used to it!
After thoroughly understanding the rules of the stock market here, Li Yi no longer plans to continue testing the waters, he wants to take it seriously!
.........
Manhattan Island. Green Manor!
In the office on the second floor, Li Yi was studying stocks, and suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door.
"Come in!"
As the door was pushed open, Li Yi saw Li Yunbao and Zhou Xinghua walking in together.
After the two entered the door, they immediately closed the door.
Then, before Li Yi could speak, Li Yunbao immediately said: "Brother Yi, there is news from my father again. Things have changed in the Qinglong Club. The third figure in the society, Sha Kun, was killed by Lao Huang. At the same time, Also killed were a dozen international mercenaries!"
"Oh, what's going on? Why are the mercenaries coming out?" Li Yi sat up straight and asked.
Li Yunbao's eyes suddenly shone and he said: "Brother Yi, you better know those ghost guys, you know that they will definitely take action when they jump over the wall..."
"Stop talking nonsense. When did you become a flatterer? Hurry up and tell me what happened at the Qinglong Club?" Li Yi said.
"Actually, the matter is not complicated. After receiving the reminder from Brother Yi, Lao Huang specially gave those ghost guys a way to lure the snake out of the hole..."
Before Li Yunbao could finish speaking, Li Yi asked again: "How do you lure a snake out of its cave?"
"In fact, on the surface Lao Huang is gathering the mazi to prepare for a fight with the Black Tiger Gang, but secretly he is setting up a trap and waiting for the restless guys inside to jump out."
Then Li Yunbao continued: "In the end, those guys were really fooled. Under the leadership of Sha Kun, they wanted to take advantage of the main force of the Qinglong Society to attack the Black Tiger Gang, kill Lao Huang in one fell swoop, and usurp power. Unexpectedly, they failed. They were all captured by Lao Huang, and there were countless casualties."
Li Yi immediately asked again: "Then what happened to those mercenaries you just mentioned?"
"According to my father, when Lao Huang and the others were surrounding and killing Shakun's people last night, they found that there were many short men with strong combat power and rich combat experience among them. If Lao Huang and the others hadn't set up a trap in advance, If they are ambushed, it will be really difficult to deal with them."
Li Yunbao said again: "It was only after interrogation that I found out that these good guys around Sha Kun were not his followers, but mercenaries specially invited from the Southern Monkey Kingdom. Many of them were veterans who had participated in the Sino-Vietnam War. I’m here to help Shakun deal with Lao Huang.”
"Did those ghost guys from the British Capital Group do it?" Li Yi asked coldly.
"Yes, it must be those dogs. According to Lao Huang, before Sha Kun took action, he had met with representatives of those ghost guys. Who else could it be if they weren't them!" Li Yunbao said.
"So Lao Huang has eliminated all the unstable elements within the Qinglong Society?" Li Yi asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it has been cleared up, and now Mr. Huang of Qinglonghui has the final say!"
Li Yi thought for a while and asked again: "How did those ghost guys react?"
"My dad didn't say that!"
"Well, you should send a telegram back to your father immediately and ask him to remind Lao Huang that those ghost guys have suffered such a big loss and will definitely not let it go. Let the Qinglong Club step up their guard!"
Then Li Yi said again: "At the same time, let them calm down for a while. If those gangsters' dirty tricks don't work, they may use the power of the British Hong Kong government."
"good!"
"In addition, if you let your father continue to increase public opinion propaganda, he will say that the international gold price has collapsed. Don't buy it until the gold price is lower than 300 US dollars per ounce!"
"hiss!"
"Brother Yi, can the price of gold really fall below 300 US dollars?" Li Yunbao asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Absolutely. After all, the Fed is only raising interest rates in the first round, and there will be two more rounds. According to past experience, every time the Fed raises interest rates, it will cause the price of gold to fall. How far will the price of gold fall after these three interest rate hikes? , it’s really an unknown!”
Then Li Yi said again: "I dare not say 300 US dollars, but it is really unlikely that the gold price will stabilize above 400 US dollars."
"Okay, then I'll send a telegram to my dad now..."
"Wait a moment!"
"Brother Yi, do you have anything else to do?" Li Yunbao asked.
"Go and book some air tickets back to Hong Kong Island now!" Li Yi said in an astonishing tone.
Li Yunbao immediately said: "Brother Yi, are you going back to Hong Kong Island?"
"Well, it's not polite to reciprocate. These ghost guys dare to use mercenaries to deal with Lao Huang. They must be returned, otherwise those dogs will think that I, Li Yi, am a soft persimmon." Li Yi said.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right now!"
"Um..."
