Volume 8 Final Chapter Chapter 1088 Creating a Gold Market
"put."
Following Nan Yi's order, the servant not far away raised his hands to the sky, and the bald crane imprisoned in his hands broke free from the shackles and flapped its wings to fly into the air.
Nan Yi calmly picked up the PK95 (Finnish imitation AK47 iterative version) leaning against the coffee table, turned on the safety, pulled the bolt, predicted the aim, and pulled the trigger in one go. As the gunshot rang out, the bald crane that had flown more than 30 meters high fell straight to the ground.
He checked the gun chamber, turned off the safety, put the gun back to its original position, took a bottle of Kanglong water from the coffee table and handed it to Hadisin. After the other party opened it and took a sip, Nan Yi continued the conversation that he had just interrupted.
"If you studied hard in school, you would probably know that the light our eyes see is reflected by the sunlight and then enters the retina, and then transmits the image to the brain. After the brain makes a judgment, it issues a command to make an action.
In this process, there is a time difference. The picture we see is about a few tenths of a second ago, but the picture we perceive can be synchronized with the real world after being processed by the brain.
For example, in the shooting I just did, if my reaction was half a beat slower, I would never have been able to hit the bald crane. Therefore, during the shooting process, my brain made predictions in advance and judged what would happen next based on the data received by the retina. Finally, what appeared in front of me was the picture and effect after the prediction.
Or if, if you studied math seriously in school, you would know that there are many geometric shapes and solid shapes that will lie to our eyes, three or four, round or square, our eyes keep giving us different answers. "
Nan Yi opened the bottle cap, took a sip of water, and pointed at the water bottle in Hadishin's hand, "Why is it that when we are thirsty, we feel thirsty as soon as we drink water, and the effect of drinking water to quench thirst is immediate?
In fact, it takes a very long time for water to enter our body from our cavities, be transferred to various organs and parts, and finally reach the result of water balance in our body. "
Hardisin asked tentatively: "Boss, is it because our brain made a prediction?"
"Yes." Nan Yi nodded, "Everyone on earth is born with the ability to predict. This is the instinct for our survival. If we don't have this ability, we will soon face death.
Don’t trust too much what you see with your own eyes, and don’t trust too much what you hear with your ears. They will lie, or in other words, they are very stupid and can be easily deceived and deceived, and then convey wrong information to your brain. "
Nan Yi pointed to his temple and said, "Listen more, watch more, think more, doubt everything, doubt everyone. Have you already guessed many times why I bought you back from the slave market?"
Hardisin shook his head. “I’ve thought about this many times.”
Nan Yi chuckled, "Judging from your personality and your childhood experiences, you may have wondered if I am a pervert who has a special hobby for pedophiles like you."
Hardisin smiled awkwardly.
"I can tell you directly that I bought you because you were smart and I thought you could help me when you grew up, so I bought you and made sure you had enough food and clothing. Now you are sixteen years old, and according to India's lax marriage law, you can get married and have one wife, or two, or three.
Since you don't want to continue studying now, then start working for me. Stop this business of borrowing five and returning six, which is difficult for you to control since it is thousands of miles away.
Let me evaluate your business. I can only say that you are too young and too naive. A 15-year-old child thinks that if you say a few harsh words and act a little ruthlessly, a middle-aged man in his early 40s will listen to you?
Will people who are thousands of miles away honestly give you an account? "
Hadisin smiled awkwardly again, with a thoughtful look on his face.
Nan Yi waved his hand, "Don't think about it. Your subordinate has already started a new business with the capital you gave him. I just sent someone to borrow money from him. If nothing unexpected happens, he probably won't have the money to buy a ticket back to India. Maybe he will have a chance to be reborn in Manila and become a big drug lord. Follow me."
As he spoke, Nan Yi picked up the PK95 and walked along the stone road leading to the back mountain, with Hadisin following closely behind him.
Along the way, Nan Yi kept searching for the target that was placed somewhere on the tree, happily satisfying his urge to use a gun, and little by little regaining the feel of the gun that had been engraved in his muscle memory.
After about twenty minutes, Nan Yi and the other man reached the halfway point of the mountain. Nan Yi threw the gun to the tiger cub, then put his arm around Hadishin's shoulders and led them to a flat area where they could see downtown Mumbai. He pointed to a prominent building in the city and said, " Not far behind it is the Golden Street. The word gold originated from ancient Sanskrit, meaning to shine.
In Hinduism, gold has a special meaning, representing wealth and auspiciousness, and is even revered as the goddess Lakshmi. Lakshmi is the goddess of happiness and wealth in Hinduism. It is precisely because of the belief in Lakshmi that Hindus believe that wearing gold can bring them good luck.
Influenced by religious culture, Indians have elevated gold to the supreme position. They not only endowed it with legendary color, but also integrated it into folk culture. For example, in mythology there is a giant bird called Garuda, whose image is the golden-winged bird. Also, married women have to wear gold necklaces and other gold jewelry.
Traditional culture has promoted the accumulation of gold in India. However, this accumulation has been extremely slow. Historically, there have been almost no large gold mines to be mined in India, and the demand for gold has always been met by gold trade. This trade continued during the East India Company period. All these factors have created India's world-renowned gold reserves.
The reason why Indians like gold is due to cultural heritage, and also due to economic reasons. India is an agricultural country and its economy mainly relies on agriculture and handicrafts.
Due to the unstable income in these two areas, Indians generally do not trust banks and prefer to keep their money at home or use it to buy commodities that have a value-preserving function, such as gold.
In addition, the government has repeatedly devalued the Indian currency through currency reforms and financial policies, causing people to lose confidence and be more willing to use their money to buy gold.
This is the answer I came up with through my own analysis. You don’t need to care whether it is accurate or not. You just need to know that gold will have no trouble selling in India and Mumbai.
Unrefined, impure gold raw stones are called alluvial gold. Its gold content varies depending on its origin, some may be around 30% and some may be less than 5%.
Vietnam has mountains and water, as well as typhoons in summer. The abundant rainfall leads to soil erosion, and rivers are formed when it rains, which enriches the river sand.
In the upper reaches there are many gold-rich mining ridges that flow downstream after being beaten by wind, rain, sun, mud and stone. Because the sand is slightly heavier than sand and mud, it is often deposited in the sand at the bends of the riverbed.
The Vietnamese wash it out and call it Vietnamese alluvial gold, also known as natural gold. The gold content is only about 5%. It is harder than gold and comes in two types: silver-white and golden yellow.
Thousands of pure gold is slightly soft, but alluvial gold is bright and will never fade, and its price is only a fraction of the real gold. In the past two years, more and more people have been panning for alluvial gold in Vietnam, and an industry has been formed. You can find a way to transport alluvial gold from Vietnam and sell it, and the price difference will not be small.
If there is a gold workshop that processes the gold and then sells it, the profit will be a few cents higher.”
Nan Yi said, turning to look at Hadisin's face and patting him on the shoulder, "There are many things to know in the gold business, such as how to identify the gold content, and how to synthesize gold that looks like gold but actually has zero gold content through copper, nickel, zinc and other metals. There are techniques for all these.
Vietnam has alluvial gold and Russia has purple gold. Both of these are raw gold stones with very low gold content, but through speculation, they can be pushed to high prices within a long or short period of time, and it is not impossible for the price to exceed that of 999 gold.
Once these two types of gold have a bad reputation, you can also develop French rose gold and Italian Renaissance gold. You can make up any name you want, as long as you can make the story convincing and hype it up.
If one day this trick no longer works, you can still stand up and criticize these dishonest businessmen, and declare to the public that your gold can be guaranteed to have purity and value, and so on. When you actually experience all of this, you will definitely know how to make it more attractive to consumers.
Do you know what the prerequisite is for being able to pull off these tricks?"
Hadisin thought for a moment and said, "Hide yourself well and don't let outsiders know."
"Smart." Nan Yi shook his head. "What a pity, you just don't like to study. If you want to do business well, you must understand human nature, understand the psychology of consumers, and know how to predict the market conditions that may appear in the future. These require you to have rich practical experience and deep knowledge accumulation.
Forget it, learn through practice. There is something you definitely cannot understand now, but you must remember it firmly.
Don't let yourself fall into the comfort zone you have created. Don't think that as long as you follow a fixed track and do fixed things well, you can live a good life and do good business. Over time, the predictive ability given to you by Lord Shiva will degenerate infinitely, and you will only be able to realize what is happening in front of you, while your competitors may have predicted it a year, or two or three years ago.
At that time, you will most likely return to the situation you were in before the age of ten, without food or clothing, displaced, and you will run back to the slave market by yourself, hoping that a miracle will happen again and that another kind-hearted person will buy you.
Don't have this kind of dream. If you are so lucky , you must be born in a wealthy family and have no worries about food and clothing since childhood. It is unlikely that we will meet in such an occasion. Maybe at a high-end cocktail party, or maybe because of jealousy for a high-caste woman. "
Nan Yi patted Hadixin's shoulder again and said, "I have chosen a path for you. It is up to you to decide whether to take it or not. You have the freedom to choose not to take it. You do not plan to continue studying, but you have the ability to make a living. If you do not follow my instructions, you can take the path you want to take. However, I will not provide you with any help."
Scarlett wanted to take advantage of the big market there, and she also wanted to create a big market. She needed to raise or lower the gold price at the right time and at the pace she needed. To accomplish this, she needed to have a certain ability to influence the supply and demand relationship of gold, a bulk commodity. India, a country with a large demand for gold, was the perfect entry point.
Therefore, spot trading is just an appetizer, and catching a few fat sheep in gold futures is the main course.
