Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.
Chapter 42 This Unparalleled Wealth
"Handling some funds?"
Zhang San didn't expect that shortly after New Year's Day, he would receive a message from Jim. Jim was calling him from Beijing and would soon be leaving Beijing to fly back to his older brother's place.
This sum of money is quite large, reaching one billion US dollars, but it is not in cash; it consists of precious metals and diamonds.
This was unexpected for him. This batch of assets, worth a billion dollars, was actually worth more than a billion dollars. If calculated at market price, it was nearly two billion dollars, even considering the current drop in gold prices.
Those diamonds might still be worth some money now, but to dispose of them, you'll need some certificates... You can get them from Indian 3rd.
Wouldn't that solve everything? All that gold and stuff can be considered as our own capital; there's no rush to sell it.
As for the diamonds, he could figure out what to do with them; half an hour later, he replied that same day instead of the day before, which was originally supposed to be the next day.
"Jim, this business is worth doing. I'll go to the capital tomorrow to meet you and discuss the details."
The next morning, Zhang San chartered a plane, took his secretary and bodyguards, and went to Beijing. It would take fifteen hours to get there, and by the time they arrived, it was already evening.
When he met Jim, the guy didn't have the soft, round face he usually has. Instead, he was rather thin and had a bit of a tough look. What the hell is this tough look?
"Hey Jim, I almost didn't recognize you. If it weren't for your blue eyes, you'd look so different."
"Boss, let's go back and talk. It's a good thing you came, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to explain ourselves."
The group boarded a well-established Volga, a common sight in Beijing. Jim had even brought over fifty of these cars to the mainland, and they were quickly sold out. He kept five of them to use as storefronts for his company here.
When they arrived at the company, in a two-story building, Jim didn't speak. Instead, he slowly wrote something down, and only showed it to Zhang San when he finished.
Zhang San looked at it carefully, and then his pupils slowly dilated; this was more than ten billion US dollars, probably thirty billion US dollars, which shocked him.
"Jim, do they want cash or bearer bonds?"
Upon hearing about bearer bonds, Jim's eyes lit up, and he said, "It would be best to prepare fifty bearer bonds."
Zhang San gave Jim a deep look, knowing that this kid was also taking kickbacks.
Judging from the list, this kid probably memorized it all. And there's definitely something wrong with this batch of goods, but he can't care about that. This billion dollars... let's just say it's a billion dollars. Once he finds out, he'll just take it.
The current price of gold is $345-$355 per ounce. Even if it's only half gold, that's over 120 tons. Isn't that robbing the national treasury?
Actually, a large portion of these are rough diamonds, enough for Zhang San to sell for a lifetime; fortunately, most of them are colored, with a small portion being white, and some of them are very large.
The list stated that none of the pieces were less than one carat, which made him feel somewhat better.
As for how Jim operated it, Zhang San didn't know. He didn't stay here for more than two days before flying to Shanghai. What was he doing in Shanghai? Of course, he was looking for a place to store his gold. He had stored quite a lot of gold here, reaching twenty tons.
He still has eight aircraft, all of which have now been cancelled from lease agreements and are on standby, ready to ship from there and receive here.
Upon arriving in Shanghai, Zhang San, despite being a wealthy man, still found it difficult to get things done. He began arranging for people to be ready to receive the gold arriving from there.
He then secretly flew to Hong Kong. As a wealthy man, Zhang San would never have guessed that he was rich.
"Hey bro, do you have any way to get some bearer bonds? I'm thinking of getting some over here."
"I know where to find this, I can introduce you to it." Big shot Liu had a wide circle of friends and naturally knew some people, so he immediately introduced the resource to him.
In this way, Zhang San used various channels to obtain a loan of $600 million and his own $400 million to purchase fifty bearer bonds, each worth $20 million.
Back in Shanghai, they would take an envelope back with them every time the plane landed and took off; by the time they had received everything, Zhang San's fifty bearer bonds were also gone.
Jim told me that the other party was very satisfied with the deal and would consider further transactions if given the opportunity.
Just days after their deal was completed, before the release of "The Purge".
The Purge is a fictional film depicting a future world where the government regularly implements purges to reduce the population. The film has garnered widespread attention and discussion.
Many people are polarized about some of the surface phenomena that occurred after the release of "The Purge Act".
After its release, the film received mixed reactions from audiences. Some felt it was too violent and gory for a wide audience, while others believed it revealed underlying issues in human society that warranted further discussion.
The purge plan depicted in the film has also raised concerns among some. They believe that such a plan could be exploited in reality by certain governments or organizations to eliminate people who do not serve their interests. This concern has also sparked discussions about human rights and social justice.
In addition, the high-tech equipment and weapons in the film have also attracted the interest of some people. They believe that these devices and weapons demonstrate the future direction of technological development.
The box office was five million US dollars on its opening day, which is a very high figure.
The Purge is a science fiction horror film that tells the story of a family struggling to survive in the future, in the year 2XXX, when the U.S. government implements an annual "Purge" program to deal with the crisis of overpopulation and resource scarcity. On this day, all non-essential humans will be killed, and the family struggles to survive in this disaster.
The film's box office performance exhibited typical characteristics of a horror film. After its release, it performed strongly in its opening weekend, topping the North American weekend box office charts with $3400 million.
Subsequently, the film's box office performance gradually stabilized, but it still maintained high revenue. In its second and third weeks of release, the film grossed $2200 million and $1700 million, respectively.
Some media outlets estimated that this could become one of the highest-grossing horror films in North America in 1991.
The Purge also performed exceptionally well at the overseas box office. The film garnered significant box office revenue worldwide, with the European market contributing the largest share.
The film performed exceptionally well at the box office in countries such as the UK, France, and Germany, becoming the local box office champion. Furthermore, it also performed admirably in Asian markets, achieving considerable box office success in countries like Japan and South Korea.
