During the golden decade, from 1970 to 1980, the price of gold soared to a high of $850 per ounce.

As for the period from 1970 to 1973, when the price of gold rose from $35 per ounce to $100 per ounce, these were the slowest three years in the past decade. Now the price of gold is only over $130 per ounce, so there is a lot of room for growth. As long as you go long and buy spot gold, you will definitely not lose money.

Bao Junyi said to Yuan Tianfan, "Europe and the United States are currently experiencing economic stagnation, their industries have been severely damaged, and a large number of workers have been laid off. This situation cannot be recovered immediately and will take time. Gold is also the strongest currency."

"What's more, my leverage is only one-tenth. Unless the spot gold price plummets by 10%, countries around the world are buying it themselves, so you can rest assured."

"Alright, the group now has a few hundred million Hong Kong dollars remaining. Keep 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and your financial trading team is free to operate in the international market. This is the short-selling period, but you can't short Hong Kong stocks. Our group can only go long. Do you understand?"

"I understand. I thank the boss for the people of Hong Kong." Yuan Tianfan said gratefully.

"The group is planning to raise some funds to purchase some villas and several residential complexes as rewards for management and employees who have made contributions to the group. You have to work hard!"

Yuan Tianfan used to work at HSBC with a monthly salary of only more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now he works at Miracle Company with an annual salary of 1 million. However, since he just arrived, he has no savings to buy a house and currently rents a house with his wife in a dilapidated community. This news is the best booster for him.

Yuan Tianfan said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Bao, I will try my best to complete the task you assigned."

"Well, get busy."

After Bao Junyi finished dealing with the company's affairs, he went to the Miracle Research Institute. The equipment of the group's research institute was the most advanced research equipment that Michael bought from the United States through his connections and smuggled back.

Bao Junyi came this time to learn about the research and development of hybrid engines. At the same time, regarding the breakthroughs in battery technology, he adopted the matrix-based research and development approach of Tesla's battery combination, and told the researchers about the small batteries and functions of the future. Currently, half of the progress has been made.

Jiang Wenlong ran over and said, "Mr. Bao, the electric motor of the current hybrid engine cannot be linked with the gasoline engine."

Jiang Wenlong is a native of Hong Kong. He graduated from Oxford University in the United States and then studied for a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. During this period, he worked for well-known brands such as Bentley and Ford. He has a rich resume and more than ten years of work experience. He was also recruited by a headhunter with a high salary.

Bao Junyi smiled and said, "The previous system doesn't work. We need to develop a hybrid system that can be driven by both gasoline and electricity."

"We can achieve this through the integration of the engine, motor, and transmission, also known as integrated hybrid power. The structure can be in series, parallel, or hybrid power transmission. Which one do you think is suitable for the current breakthrough?"

"Bao Sheng, you're truly an MIT genius. You can even think of this kind of arrangement. No wonder we still hear so many legends about you at the academy."

"That's all nonsense. I just read more books and did more experiments in the academy. I used the time others spent picking up girls to study."

"Baosheng, you're... awesome," Jiang Wenlong complained speechlessly. If you weren't the boss, I'd want to punch you. You single guy still finds so many excuses.

Bao Junyi stayed in the research institute for two days.

Day 3, morning.

Bao Junyi went to Kai Tak International Airport with his father.

When I arrived at the airport, I found that most of the seniors had already arrived and were chatting with each other.

Bao Junyi followed his father and greeted Mr. Huo and others.

Bao Junyi discovered that Zhang Yuliang and He Duwang were also present today. Bao Junyi should have thought that they would definitely go to such a level.

Bao Junyi was standing behind a few elders. Huo Yingdong noticed him and said, "Ayi, I didn't expect you to actually go. I just called to ask."

"Uncle Huo, this time we're going to China, we have an industry that's labor-intensive and requires a lot of space. Let's see if it complies with Chinese policies. If it does, we'll open a factory."

"Oh, no wonder. Usually, we older generations don't see you. Unlike my kid, he hangs out with the second-generation circle every day, and his entire career is still going in circles."

"Brother Zhenghua went to Huaxia to invest a year ago. His vision is better than mine. It may not have exploded yet."

After chatting with Mr. Huo for a while, he was busy greeting other people.

After all, this investment trip to China's Kyoto was led by Mr. Huo, so he must take care of all aspects and play the role of the leader.

Half an hour later, the staff started to register at the machine.

This plane was sent from China to Hong Kong specifically to pick up this group of wealthy people, which also shows the importance that the Chinese government attaches to it.

The flight route cannot fly directly to Kyoto, you can only fly to Shanghai, transfer and then fly to Kyoto.

After 10 hours, the plane landed at Kyoto International Airport in the afternoon.

After getting off the plane, Kyoto specially arranged a convoy to pick up the Hong Kong tycoons.

The motorcade took everyone directly to the Kyoto State Guesthouse, which was specially built in the 1970s and 1980s to receive foreign guests or important visitors.

Bao Junyi looked at the State Guesthouse and recalled that he had been there once in his previous life, which also showed the importance China attached to this visit.

The full name of the State Guesthouse is Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. It is located in Haiding District, Kyoto. It was built in 1958. The park area is 420,000 square meters, the lake area is 50,000 square meters, and the building area is 60,000 square meters. The buildings account for one-seventh of the total area.

It belongs to the ancient royal garden, on the basis of which the modern state guesthouse complex has been added. It is the place where heads of state and important guests are received. It is a super star hotel in China.

Among this group of nearly 50 wealthy elderly people, Bao Junyi is the only young man, and he stands out in the crowd.

The receiving officials were very surprised and simply thought that Bao Junyi was the son of a wealthy man and was brought here to see the world.

When they arrived at the hotel, many of the wealthy people were old and needed some time to rest after sitting on the plane for such a long time.

However, after Bao Junyi arrived, he wanted to go out for a walk, as it was only around 4 pm.

Bao Junyi said to the person in charge of the State Guesthouse: "Do you have a guide here? Do you know where there are good places to eat?"

"Comrade, are you going out?"

"Yes, I want to go out and explore Kyoto and try some delicious Kyoto food."

"Comrade, I'll make arrangements for you right away. Just tell them where you want to go. They're from Kyoto."

"Okay, thank you, comrade."

Bao Junyi got in a car and went out with a female guide and two comrades.

"Lesbian, what's your name? My name is Bao Junyi, you can just call me Mr. Bao."

"Mr. Xiao Bao, my name is Liu Ruyan. Where do you want to go now?"

Liu Ruyan was wearing a cheongsam, with an elegant and noble temperament. She was a woman of the Su-Anhui style, with a graceful figure, perfect curves, fair skin, and a delicate complexion. She was a rare beauty.

"Let's go to Kyoto's most famous antique street first and then decide where to go." Bao Junyi didn't have many thoughts about her. This time, he was mainly looking for high-value antiques to buy some for his collection. "Brothers, I'm testing the book right now. I beg for votes. Thank you so much!"
