Because most bankers and investors can see it.

After the new century, gold may experience short-term fluctuations and declines in the future.

But in the long run, it will definitely keep rising.

Because in the first two years of the 21st century, most countries, including the United States, began to inject a large amount of water into their currencies.

Coupled with the war, oil also began to fluctuate.

These situations all read "good for gold".

If Abel chooses to hold gold futures for a long time.

Then it would be difficult for anyone to snipe him in terms of gold.

Unless a new gold mine is discovered on the earth, this new mine will directly increase the reserves of precious metals such as gold by an order of magnitude.

"It seems that at present, this is indeed the only way."

John Chris Morgan also made his decision.

When these two are synchronized, the world's largest, perhaps even one of the largest, financial machines begins to rotate slowly.

Coincidentally, not only in upstate New York, but two people here in New Kikwit Manor were discussing Abel Smith.

Separated by a continent and an ocean.

A small island in southern Asia.

The specific address is No. 79, Deep Water Bay Road, Southern District, Xiangjiang Island.

Here, some people are also discussing Abel Smith, they are father and son.

"Daddy..."

Li Kai, the youngest son of Cucumber, looked at the elegant and calm old father in front of him, who had just lost his temper with his father not long ago, and said:

"I tried my best, but neither Hao Yu nor Huo Wen disclosed it. In other words, what they revealed was no different from what Huo Yiguan announced to the public. It was the one where Hao Yiguan went to the ghost guy and didn't talk about anything."

After listening to the younger son's words, Cucumber nodded slightly and looked at the eldest son.

Compared to my younger son who is very similar to me in terms of doing things and has the most similar abilities to me, but he is unconventional and has a personality that I don't like.

His abilities are average, but his personality is very much like his eldest son, and he is even more loved by Cucumber.

Facing his father's gaze, Li Ju shook his head gently:

"What I found is similar to my brother...Daddy, maybe that's the truth."

Cucumber frowned. Being cunning by nature, he didn't believe that Huo Yiguan spent almost an hour at Lu Yu Teahouse yesterday morning, and ended up only talking about the opinions of the north.

If this was the case, then he felt that Huo Yiguan was too unlike a businessman.

"Old Officer Huo is very strict this time. No one can ask questions."

Cucumber finally spoke.

"I can't find anything, so I can't blame you. But I called you back this time, especially Akai. I called you back from Po County because I want to take you to a banquet at No. 26 Garden Road tonight.

.I hope you won’t disappoint me.”

Facing his father's words, Li Ju nodded calmly and gently.

But Li Kai said: "Ha - I want to see how the street boy Zheng Chun shows off after tonight... The mother-baby boy just attended a London banquet and has been showing off for almost a year!"

The Li family is from Chaozhou origin, and they occasionally speak Chaozhou dialect internally.

Seeing his youngest son like this, Cucumber shook his head helplessly.

When I was about to say something and asked Li Kai to pay attention at night.

Cucumber heard his youngest son say again:

"By the way, Daddy. Actually, I don't have any interactions with the world's richest man."

"Huh?" Cucumber looked at his youngest son.

"Daddy, you gave me a call in 1999. You asked me to help a Chaozhou fellow and inject capital into his son's company. Do you still remember?"

After hearing what his youngest son said, Cucumber thought for a moment.

Although he was old, he took good care of himself, and he might be really talented in this area, so he immediately thought of it.

Such a thing does exist.

At the turn of the old century, Cucumber wanted to negotiate for a piece of land in Pengcheng in the north.

This piece of land is in a very good location and many people from Hong Kong are grabbing it.

But in the end, it was snatched by Cucumber.

In the process of fighting.

A Chaozhou native who works locally in Pengcheng and can barely be considered a fellow Cucumber fellow was very helpful.

Cucumber is a smart man, so he reciprocates his kindness and keeps in touch with him frequently, forming a good relationship.

The company run by the son of a fellow countryman later encountered difficulties and needed financial help.

Thinking of repaying the favor, Cucumber asked his youngest son to invest a sum of money in the other's son's company.

It seems to be more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

"Yes, I remember. It seems to be named Ma. How do you say it?" After thinking about it, Cucumber asked softly.

"Yes. His surname is Ma." Li Kai said with a smile: "I invested 16 million Hong Kong dollars at that time, which was almost worth 2.2 million US dollars."

"Last year, because I wanted to engage in electrical engineering and wanted to raise funds, I started selling the shares. At that time, there were two buyers, one was a South African and the other was an American."

"Did you sell it to Americans? Are Americans related to Abel Smith?" Cucumber immediately asked keenly.

"Daddy is amazing, he guessed it right away."

Li Kai proudly said: "I made more than 5 times! It was 2.2 million U.S. dollars and sold for 13 million U.S. dollars! At that time, the South Africans offered 12.6 million U.S. dollars, and the Americans were a little more generous and offered 13 million U.S. dollars."

"Although the company that bought my shares was registered in the mainland, it was the inland branch of Smith Capital, registered in Shanghai. So I said, in fact, I have some intersection with the world's richest man. I

Earned him more than 10 million US dollars!"

Li Kai didn't think that he had earned more than 10 million U.S. dollars as the world's richest man, but now that he mentioned it in front of his father, he felt quite proud.

After listening to my son for two years, I made more than 5 times the profit.

For some reason, Cucumber didn't feel happy or proud.

It's about the world's richest man, who has always been invincible when it comes to investments.

Even if the son was sold at a very high price, he made more than 10 million US dollars.

For some reason, Cucumber felt as if he had suffered a loss.

"Tell me about Smith Capital, I'm talking about the branch in the Mainland. Does anyone of you know it better?"

Cucumber faced his two sons and asked his questions.

Li Ju shook his head and said that he was not very clear about this aspect.

It’s just a branch of an American company in the Mainland.

The key is that when it was first established, Abel was far from as famous as it is now.

Therefore, the establishment of China Smith Capital has seen little movement, whether in the United States or Asia.

Besides, it has always been very low-key and has never seen any big movements.

Cucumber and Li Ju didn't pay attention, which was normal.

Even if it weren't for Abel, they might not have known there was such a branch.

"I know, daddy, I know!" Li Kai raised his voice and said, "Because I want to sell stocks to them, I have some understanding of it!"

Cucumber can't say how disappointed he is with his eldest son, because he has always been disappointed with Li Ju.

It's just that the eldest son's personality is like his own, and Huagua believes in the Confucian eldest son inheritance.

Therefore, even if Li Ju's ability is slightly inferior to his younger brother, he is still regarded as his first heir by Cucumber.

"Tell me about it." Cucumber said calmly.

"This branch of Smith Capital was actually established the year before last. The people in charge are two women, one is an overseas student from mainland China in the United States, and the other is an American girl."

"Since its establishment at the end of last year, this company has kept a low profile. It mainly engages in angel investment and venture capital in the mainland."

"I asked someone to check and found that most of the investments it invested in were Internet companies that had just been established in the mainland. As I know, there is Penguin Company from Chaozhou fellows, and the more famous Wangyi Company, etc.

.”

"Daddy, if you need a specific investment list, I can make one for you, but you need to ask my secretary to prepare it."

Cucumber frowned, "Only angel investment and venture capital?"

This is the investment method he hates the most.

Cucumber is a person who always likes companies that are already listed, or have sufficient fixed assets, or have sufficient cash flow.
