In late November, Lin Zhichao immediately left for the United States after hearing a call from Audrey Hepburn.
It turned out that Audrey Hepburn told him that IBM's stock had risen to 700 US dollars per share; Lin Zhichao knew that he could clear out all US stocks.
This year, the U.S. stock index rose by 28%. All stocks with "electronics" and "aviation" themes increased by about 50%. This is because after Kennedy took office, he immediately launched a space competition with the Soviet Union, and electronics and aviation were undoubtedly among them. key elements.
Lin Zhichao took the flight and first arrived in San Francisco and then in Los Angeles to reunite with his family. After all, there was no rush for a day or two.
Audrey met Lin Zhichao at the airport. After getting in the car, she asked curiously: "Is the matter urgent?"
As soon as she called this time, Lin Zhichao quickly made arrangements to come to the United States, which was obviously unusual, in her opinion.
Lin Zhichao smiled and shook his head, whispering: "I just miss you!"
Audrey Hepburn immediately threw herself into Lin Zhichao's arms and fell into love with her.
Sure enough, if Lin Zhichao talks about love, no woman can escape.
Sometimes Lin Zhichao really wants to say with emotion: "In my life, as long as I like a woman, there is no woman I can't catch; similarly, when I get rid of them, it will be very troublesome!"
Handsome, elegant, rich, and capable, all rolled into one.
Even the one from Aomen was eclipsed in front of Lin Zhichao.
After returning to the villa, hugging his son and saying hello to Ella, Lin Zhichao prepared to take a shower.
"Honey, I'll wash it for you!"
Audrey Hepburn walked in and changed Lin Zhichao's clothes, but she had already taken off her bathrobe, showing herself naked.
She is petite, neither thin nor fat, with delicate and fair skin, and a delicate face that exudes nobility and elegance. In recent years, under the nourishment of Lin Zhichao, she has become even more beautiful.
Originally, Audrey Hepburn's flowering period was short-lived. She was ravaged by miscarriage and disease in her previous life, and became very thin, leaving only her skin. But in this life, under the nourishment of Lin Zhichao, his body has become neither thin nor fat. There is even a secondary growth there. The most important thing is of course that he is very healthy.
Lin Zhichao admired his masterpiece and couldn't help but ask: "Audrey, as you become more and more beautiful, are there many people chasing you?"
Audrey untied his belt and smiled sweetly: "If I said no, you would definitely say that I was guilty! In fact, many people did chase me, but I refused of course. I am a mother of two children. , and she is the wife of an Oriental, so I will protect myself."
In fact, Lin Zhichao rarely cares about these things. If God gives him such conditions, but he is still worried about his woman cheating on her, it only shows that he is too petty. Therefore, Lin Zhichao behaved extremely confidently in this regard. Today he just took care of his woman as a matter of course.
Afterwards, after washing his body with foam while standing, Lin Zhichao lay down in the large bathtub and enjoyed the comfort brought by the warm water.
Audrey then came to the bathtub, and the two talked frankly.
"How about I give you a shoulder squeeze and a back rub first?" Audrey Hepburn said playfully.
Lin Zhichao turned over and immediately felt her riding up. He smiled and said, "Are your little hands weak?"
Audrey Hepburn immediately stepped up her efforts and said: "Look down on people, my body is very powerful!"
"What about later?"
"Hmph, I'll be with you anytime!"
Private conversations between lovers are so vulgar and obscene.
Soon, fight, fight, fight!
Lin Zhichao likes Audrey Hepburn's body very much. It is really wonderful.
Two days later.
Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn came to New York together, and they both acted at the same time, selling short the U.S. stocks in their hands within a month.
Lin Zhichao came to the office building of 'Yangtze River Investment Fund'. Two years after its establishment, the number of employees here has increased to 8.
"BOSS, you're here!"
"Chris, long time no see!"
After saying hello, Lin Zhichao said hello to other staff. There were no women here, all were male staff. There were only two Chinese staff, both American.
Later, Lin Zhichao summoned everyone to the conference room.
"Everyone, there are no cheap stocks in the market, and I have decided to temporarily withdraw from the U.S. stock market. So, we will clear out all stocks in one month. Then, I will give you a bonus, and you can go on vacation!"
The employees all showed joy, but Chris said calmly: "BOSS, after the vacation, will the company still exist?"
Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Of course! After the holiday, you can just go back to the company. There is no specific work, just focus on and analyze the US stock market. You don't have to show it to me, just understand it yourself. In short, salaries will be paid as usual, and the company will not be dissolved. .”
Chris relaxed and then said: "This is so wonderful! The U.S. stock market has started to rise since it hit the bottom in October 1957. Now, in just over four years, it has increased by more than 80%. This year alone, it has increased by more than 80%." About 28%. BOSS’s temporary withdrawal at this time must be a wise decision.”
Lin Zhichao said easily: "Maybe! If I guess wrong in a year, I won't feel sorry. After all, life is like this!"
Everyone laughed, as easily as the boss.
Afterwards, everyone talked about some precautions. Lin Zhichao walked into his office, followed by Chris.
"Boss, this is the current stock price and information about our holdings."
Lin Zhichao nodded, and then he began to calculate the total market value based on the real-time stock price.
Soon, he concluded that he had gained 48% this year, which was definitely better than Buffett; and the total market value of the US stocks he held was as high as 58 million U.S. dollars, or about 320 million Hong Kong dollars.
The amount of his investment was 35 million US dollars, which is less than 200 million US dollars.
The 60% return rate in two years is mainly due to the 15 million principal added in February this year. So the actual annual rate of return is very high.
These 320 million Hong Kong dollars are funds belonging to the Yangtze River Industrial Group. In addition, by the end of this year, the Yangtze River Industrial Group may have a cash flow of another 180 million.
In this way, I am afraid there will be a cash flow of 500 million.
In fact, Lin Zhichao can arrange these funds separately at any time, but it is not necessary yet.
"Well, let's officially start. I will stay in New York for a while."
"Okay, BOSS."
After making arrangements, Lin Zhichao and Chris visited the stock exchange in the afternoon. At first glance, they saw that this place was full of 'Wall Street elites'. Everyone was in suits and ties, and they looked like financial professionals.
In fact, Lin Zhichao looked at these people as if they were looking at leeks.
"Hello! Are you Chinese?" While Lin Zhichao was visiting carefully, he met a Chinese who came up to ask.
Lin Zhichao nodded and looked at the person who came. He looked about thirty years old and had a pair of particularly eye-catching big ears.
"I am Cai Zhiyong, the manager of 'Fidelity Capital Fund' under Fidelity Fund. I am also Chinese and my ancestral home is Shanghai!"
After hearing this, Chris briefly introduced Lin Zhichao in his ear: "Old Johnson, a newly emerging fund manager on Wall Street and the founder of Fidelity Fund, asked him to establish a separate fund in 1958 with an initial capital of US$12.5 million. Abandon investing in blue-chip stocks and be good at finding some small companies. Investments are full of speculation and have higher annual returns."
Lin Zhichao actually already understands who this Cai Zhiyong is. Isn't he the Chinese stock god who beat Buffett by a few blocks in the 1960s?
Of course, this kind of stock god can only fight against the wind, that is, when the stock market is good, his rate of return is astonishingly high; but once the stock market is bad, the stocks of small companies will immediately plummet, while blue chip stocks are resistant to decline.
In fact, when investing in stocks in this era, many people still like to invest in blue chip stocks and large-cap stocks.
Cai Zhiyong said with a smile: "I didn't expect this gentleman to know me. This is my honor! I wonder, sir, are you an investor or not?"
Lin Zhichao said: "I am a Hong Konger. My ancestral home is Guangdong Province. My surname is Lin and my first name is Zhichao. I currently invest in some American stocks!"
Cai Zhiyong was stunned and then said: "Mr. Lin is the shipping king of Hong Kong?"
It seems that Lin Zhichao's reputation is not small!
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I don't want to be the king of ships. There are many ships in operation."
Cai Zhiyong said with great admiration: "Mr. Lin is too modest. Your name is well-known in the United States!" Then the conversation changed and he began to introduce the annual return rate of his Fidelity Capital Fund.
Lin Zhichao also praised: "It's amazing!"
This is gone?
Cai Zhiyong was a little anxious, and then said: "If Mr. Lin wants to invest in stocks, you can join my fund, which guarantees a high rate of return."
Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "This is my personal investment manager. This year we bought Pan American Airways and Delta Air Lines, and the return rate was also very good, but now he advises me to sell out the stocks."
Chris smiled and said nothing, knowing that his boss was playing a trick on this fellow investment manager.
Although he still doesn't know whether the boss is better at stock trading than Cai Zhiyong, a newly famous figure on Wall Street, but in terms of the boss's calm methods, there is no doubt that everyone is not on the same level. Maybe in the boss's mind, tens of millions of dollars are just for fun. After all, the ship king's assets should be hundreds of millions of dollars. In addition, the boss rarely pays attention to stocks, let alone reading data every day.
Cai Zhiyong immediately frowned and refuted Chris, saying: "Mr. Chris, since President Kennedy took office, he has shouted the slogan 'Make America Progress Again'. This year's boom in the stock market is the best proof, and this boom cycle must be more than one." Years, but maybe ten or twenty years.”
Chris knew that the boss didn’t want to get to know this person because the investment philosophies were completely different. The boss invested in blue-chip stocks, while Cai Zhiyong invested in small companies.
So, he said: "Then we can only wait and see!"
Cai Zhiyong saw that Lin Zhichao had no intention of further discussion with him, so he could only hand over his business card, said a few polite words, and turned to leave.
Lin Zhichao smiled and shook his head, he was just a short-lived character!
Later, Lin Zhichao watched the live TV broadcast that could be seen everywhere, which showed the real-time situation in the stock exchange.
IBM's stock price has hit 705 US dollars, and it seems that it may rise to 720 or even 750; of course, this is none of his business, after all, his and Audrey's stocks are being cleared.
In October next year, when the Cuban crisis is at its worst, it will be right for the two of them to gradually come in to buy the bottom.
Because of the Cuban crisis, it was eliminated in a short time by the powerful military of the United States. Eight aircraft carriers and one hundred warships surrounded Cuba, and they did not hesitate to fight a nuclear war. This is the terrifying power of the Americans. The Soviet Union was still lagging behind in this era. It was precisely because of this incident that the Soviet Union developed nuclear weapons desperately, and finally surpassed the United States in the late 1960s and finally became hardened.
At the same time, the current Yangtze River Investment Fund does not have many hiding methods, and it is not feasible. So Lin Zhichao planned to use half of the funds to invest in Audrey Hepburn's investment company, since Lin Zhichao trusted her anyway; while the other half would continue to be handed over to the Yangtze River Investment Fund for Chris to 'manage'.
After the oil crisis in the 1970s (1974), Lin Zhichao would establish a "family trust fund" or "family office" in advance and use offshore, hidden and other methods to invest in US stocks on a large scale.
In the evening, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn checked into a high-rise apartment in Manhattan's Central Park.
Open the curtains and overlook the beautiful scenery of Manhattan from a high altitude. The entire city is lit up with lights. Even Central Park is lit up with scattered lights, which are street lights along the road.
It's beautiful, and it feels like returning to the 21st century. Lin Zhichao has this thought every time he is in New York.
"Husband, since I met you, I have gradually fallen in love with this kind of bustling city life. In the past, I always dreamed of buying a country manor in Switzerland and living there. Now I fall in love with this modern lifestyle." Audrey Hepburn leaned on Lin Zhichao's strong arms said sincerely.
Lin Zhichao said: "It's because our two sons and I changed your mind, and also changed Ella's mind. Of course, we are so rich, we can have our cake and eat it too, and the country manor can also be used as a vacation." After you recently sold your stocks, you are planning to set up an 'Audrey Investment Company' and hire professional investment personnel to manage your wealth. Of course, I will tell you privately what to invest in, they are just doing the work for you. .”
Audrey's stock market value was only a little over 40 million US dollars in the end. IBM did not double, but it also increased by 65% this year.
However, the market value of Audrey Toys is already US$120 million, and Hepburn holds 51% of the shares, so it cannot be sold for the time being; but there is no harm in selling it in 1967~1968.
"Would you like to install your people so that you can supervise those people?"
Lin Zhichao turned his head and looked at her curiously, then smiled playfully at Audrey Hepburn.
"I'm kidding you!"
Lin Zhichao immediately placed her in front of him and motioned for her to squat down.
"Come on, let's sit here at the window today. I want to enjoy the beautiful night view of Manhattan while enjoying the body of the Oscar-winning actress."
"Yes, my King!"
Soon, Lin Zhichao felt cold and then warm.
Comfortable!
The scenery outside is so beautiful. The only pity is that in this era, there are no floor-to-ceiling windows. Although the windows are also very large, they have about 80 centimeters of concrete walls.
Of course, this does not affect the view.
"Audrey Investment Company, hire some white female employees, preferably pretty ones who are just pleasing to the eye. Of course, they must also meet academic qualifications and abilities. You must have female assistants around you, who are both capable and beautiful. It’s just a comfort to watch.”
Whenever Lin Zhichao brought up beautiful female staff, Audrey Hepburn stepped up and Lin Zhichao immediately explained. Of course, she didn't use her teeth, but her lips.
After helping Audrey Hepburn to her feet, the two soon got candid with each other.
Audrey then began to admire the view of Manhattan, holding her hands on the glass.
"Investing in an office building in Manhattan, a hotel in New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco, or buying a large estate in London, we can invest in three projects next year. After buying it, we can also use these properties as mortgages to look for opportunities to continue investing. stock."
"My dear, can you not talk about that at this time!"
"No, because I feel very accomplished!"
"Ah, it's so ice on the glass!"
"Then let me hold you!"
Soon, from the window to the sofa, and finally to the bedroom.
After staying in New York for a full week, Lin Zhichao was relieved and prepared to return to Hong Kong.
This round, he only made 23 million US dollars in the United States. In any case, it will not cause much repercussions, let alone be investigated. So, he was relieved.
As for the next wave (1962.10~1968.3), he planned to borrow Audrey's investment company and share half of the funds.
After all, if the annual rate of return exceeds 35%, there is still hope.
After all, it is bargain hunting, plus popular stocks, dividends, etc., the income is very high.
Therefore, he simply mobilized another 22 million U.S. dollars from Hong Kong, and next year he will collect 80 million U.S. dollars and invest in the U.S. stock market.
In this way, the funds of Yangtze River Industrial Group will not be left empty in the account.
