At the beginning, the charter king borrowed 5 billion US dollars from HSBC, of which he held 2 billion, Li Xu held 2.9 billion, and Xu Xiangqian only held 100 million.
This ratio is divided according to repayment ability.
The charter king has a big fortune, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to pay back the money.
Li Xu was able to earn more than 3 billion US dollars in just two years. Even if he lost the bet, he could quickly make a comeback with the more than 100 million US dollars left in his hands, and it would not be difficult to repay the loan.
Only Xu Xiangqian had neither family property nor ability, and all he had was the identity of Li Xu's cousin.
I have a good cousin here, so I can pay back 100 million, even though I can’t say how much.
According to the commission ratio originally agreed upon, the chartering king ultimately earned 3.666 billion yuan, Xu Xiangqian earned 1.275 billion yuan, and Li Xu earned 60.359 billion yuan.
Everyone was so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. Li Xu and the other two even gave each trader an extra one million US dollars as a reward.
Then Xu Xiangqian said excitedly, "Cousin, cousin, I've changed my mind. I want to buy another 9,000 kilograms of gold to make up 10,000 kilograms for our sister's dowry."
Nine thousand kilograms of gold would cost more than 40 million US dollars, a figure that is really nothing to him now.
You should know that including the principal, he now has more than 1.5 billion US dollars.
As long as he can please the Li family, he would be willing to spend ten times as much money as possible, let alone such a small amount.
Before Li Xu and the other two could open their mouths, the boat charterer Wang asked, "Mr. Xu, who is this sister you're talking about?"
"My little cousin, the biological sister of my three cousins."
Hearing this, the boat owner smiled even brighter. "Mr. Li, when will your sister get married?"
You can consult Li Xu about making money, but on matters like this, the charter king can only consult Li Ping.
It’s nothing else, just because he is Li Xu’s elder brother.
Li Ping replied, "The ninth day of the twelfth lunar month next year."
The boat charterer first told his second son-in-law to write down the date, then asked, "Mr. Li, can I go and ask for a glass of wedding wine when the time comes?"
"What's wrong with that? We were planning to invite you anyway." Li Ping grinned.
He understood that the charter king was going there to give expensive gifts and deepen the relationship.
This is understandable. In two transactions, Li Xu helped him earn 4 billion US dollars. He has been working hard in the business world for so many years, and the wealth he has accumulated is not much more than this number. It would be too unreasonable if he did not give some gifts to the noble man.
Li Ping's statement that his company was planning to invite the charter king was not just a polite remark, but was really true.
The Li family didn't want to hide Li Ju's wedding, they just wanted to hold it in a grand manner.
"It seems that I was overthinking it." The boat charter king originally thought that the low-key Li brothers would not want him to attend the wedding.
Everyone chatted for a long time before stopping. Then Li Xu and the boat charterer Wang found Chen Bi and repaid the loan and interest.
Afterwards, Li Xu transferred 100 million US dollars to each of Li Ping and Li Chen's accounts, and asked Shen Bi to open an account for Li Mei and Li Ju.
He also transferred 100 million to Li Mei's account, but transferred 200 million to Li Ju's account.
The extra 100 million was considered as her dowry from her family. Her three brothers, one sister, and Li Jiakang and his wife each gave her 20 million.
At this point, Li Xu still had 63.3 billion left in his hands.
In order not to attract attention, the boat charterer did not choose to leave with Li Xu and others.
He walked for nearly two hours before Li Xu and his party finally walked out of HSBC Bank.
When they arrived at the Chow Tai Fook store, they learned that the store did not have enough gold bars of 9,000 kilograms. Xu Xiangqian had no choice but to buy out the stock first, and then tell the store owner the missing quantity so that they could stock up quickly.
Early the next morning.
The ship charter king sent someone to take away the several thousand kilograms of gold purchased by Xu Xiangqian from the hotel, and then Li Xu and his party returned to Guangzhou.
Seeing this, some people may not understand why both parties were saying that they didn’t want to attract attention before, but in the blink of an eye they are not shy at all?
It's very simple. It was because both parties were at HSBC and had just closed their positions.
According to normal logic, it was impossible for the charter king to meet with his friends at HSBC at that time.
Of course, it was not just at that time, it should be said that this was the case throughout the entire transaction process.
So these days, the two parties' time of entering and leaving HSBC will be staggered.
The charter boat king had gone to the Peninsula Hotel to find Li Xu and his team, and he was personally received by the hotel manager.
It can be said that the friendship between the two parties can be easily found.
As friends, both parties will naturally interact with each other.
The ship charter king sent people to transport gold bars, which were bought by Xu Xiangqian from a gold shop. This is very important.
Because in London gold trading, you can get physical gold as long as you make up the difference.
The price is cheaper than that in a gold shop.
If Xu Xiangqian purchased the gold in this way, he could save a considerable amount of money.
Faced with this situation, if you say that he has something to do with the gold trade of the ship charter king, I'm afraid few people would believe it.
Xu Xiangqian planned to buy enough gold and then ask the ship charter king to send people to transport it to the mainland. Now he just stored it with him first.
Li Xu and his group walked lightly, but the boat charterer Wang felt a little headache.
As mentioned before, the more Li Xu and his team earn in this transaction, the more the major gold traders behind the Hong Kong London Gold Exchange will lose.
Now Li Xu and his team have earned more than 60 billion US dollars, so you can imagine how much those gold merchants have lost.
To be honest, they even have the urge to kill.
However, the charter king was no ordinary person. As early as 1976, he was knighted by the Queen of England. The current British Prime Minister, the Iron Lady, is his good friend, and he also has a good relationship with US President Reagan. In addition, he enjoys great reputation internationally, and in Hong Kong Island he not only has a reputation but also considerable strength.
