MTL - 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 [Events] interface of Future Bank and saw that the status of being able to receive rewards was displayed, so William Chen clicked directly Receive award.

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

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

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

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

The second new item was something he hadn't gotten before. He looked at the description of that item:

[Experience Amplification Ring (Beginner)] can greatly increase the speed of comprehension of a certain skill. It will take effect when you wear it on your hand. The cumulative effective time is 36 hours. When the effective time is exhausted, the item will disappear automatically.

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

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

Now he hasn't figured out where to use it, so he put it aside for the time being, and then used it when he needed it.

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

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

It was the same process. The vortex in the Eye of the Future in his hand turned, and then instantly turned into a ball of light that flew into William Chen's forehead.

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

On May 1, 2010, since the international gold price fell to its lowest point of $615 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 historically high price of $1,400 per ounce. In less than a year, it has risen by more than 127%. And because the current crisis is not completely over, the market is generally optimistic about the trend of gold prices this year.

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

After reading it again, Chen William had an expression of unspeakable shock on his face. 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 go through the report in real time. After the future time in the hour, automatically. The previous report about stocks in the shipping sector disappeared automatically after July 15.

Through this news clip, William Chen 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, until April 30 next year, it will be Standing at $1,400 an ounce and more than doubling, this is a very good investment opportunity.

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

But through this report, Chen William was able to understand that the subprime mortgage crisis was not happening anymore, but was delayed. It will start to erupt in September this year. As for why it was delayed for more than two years, the reason is not that he is now 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 hunt for bargains.

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

William Chen immediately opened the web page and checked the current international gold price. He saw that the current international gold price is about $880 per ounce. According to the news reports in Future Eyes, after more than half a month, the gold price will drop to $615 per ounce. The trough of the ounce, down more than 30% at current prices, is another very good investment opportunity.

Thinking of this, William Chen called Jos to ask him about the stock market. He had invested a total of 500 million US dollars in the purchase of five stocks he selected, and saw that the total value of the stocks had exceeded $580 million.

Jos told William Chen that the stocks he holds have increased to a certain extent, and the total value of the stocks in his hands has exceeded 620 million US dollars. Without any hesitation, Chen William immediately informed him to start liquidating the stock immediately. In this regard, Joss said that in order to avoid causing too much price fluctuations, it will take at least two days to clear the stock. Chen William agreed, and he will respect the opinions of professionals for these operational aspects.

After clearing the stock and getting cash, it will be the end of the month soon. William Chen still has a lot of expenses. One is the loan of 20 million US dollars and interest on his mortgaged property, and there is also a due loan of 50 million in Building 666. It needs to be returned, and the other is the $200,000 commission from the Joss team, and the $3 million bonus also needs to be sent to them.

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

"William, I have seen many related reports recently, and most of them are not so optimistic about your acquisition. This is also a recent hot event." Tom sighed.

"I also noticed, Uncle Tom, haven't we discussed this before? After all, that's how I looked before, and this acquisition will inevitably be affected by those negative reports, but time will tell. , the best way for us to shut them up is to fight back those doubts with facts."

"That's right, but you know, William, I've had a lot of interview invitations coming to me recently, including a few TV show interview invitations, and I think you choose one of them and make a response, and you're always going to get some people. 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 get back on your feet. And through such interviews, it can also add some heat to your newspaper, and it is likely that some people are curious Then buy a newspaper and see what changes you make to the New York Observer and maybe get 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 some sense. Previously, William Chen hoped to use facts to fight back those doubts, but as Tom said, he also needed to try his best to win over some people who had expectations for him. So he said: "What you said makes sense, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Uncle Tom, let's see which program is suitable for you. I'll go to an interview at that time."

"OK, in these shows, I think the Oprah show is a good choice. She has a high reputation in the United States, and I have a little friendship with Oprah, so it shouldn't be too difficult for you." Tom thought about it. In a flash, he helped Chen William choose the interview. After Chen William agreed, he was ready to contact Oprah. As a hot figure in the United States recently, Oprah also hopes to interview Chen William.

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

The Andal Trust Fund is a company that holds 40% of the shares of the 666 Fifth Avenue Building. At that time, due to the difficulty of repaying several loans that were due in a concentrated manner, William Chen’s predecessor sold the entire building at a price of 1.6 billion US dollars. Gave the Andal Trust a 40% stake in the building for $640 million.

At that time, when William Chen's predecessor's father purchased Building 666, the total price was 1.5 billion US dollars, of which 500 million US dollars was paid by him personally, and the remaining 1 billion US dollars were borrowed funds, including long-term bank loans. , the interest of this part is relatively low; there are also short-term loans, the interest of 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 400 million US dollars had to be repaid. This is the main reason why William Chen's predecessor had to sell the building shares.

Of the funds obtained from the sale of shares, more than 400 million US dollars were used to repay this part of the short-term debt and interest, and the rest of the money was lost by him in the film investment. Thinking of this, Chen William also admired the prodigal ability of his predecessor. But now he has to bear the consequences.
