"Feng, why didn't you call me when you are back?" Feng Yu heard Kirilenko's loud voice from afar.
"Kirilenko, you are here too. We were about to call you later." Li Zekai stood up and smiled.
"Zhe Kai (Zekai), Zhe Ju (Zeju), you're here too. That's great. Let's drink more tonight!" Kirilenko's smile widened when he saw Li Zekai and the others.
Drinking with Feng Yu is boring, but drinking with Li Zekai is more interesting. Although Li Zekai's alcohol tolerance is not high, he and Kirilenko like to watch the same show after drinking.
Li Zeju and Feng Yu are the same. They don't drink and don't hang out with them. Kirilenko does not like Li Zeju.
"I had just returned. My Amazon and Google are going to be listed, and they are here to talk to me. They want to buy some shares." Feng Yu explained.
"I am here to talk to you about this. I can also raise a sum of money, and you can sell some shares to me. How about I use eBay's shares to trade with you, and we can work together. "Kirilenko said.
"Brother Ki, Amazon cannot cooperate with eBay. If eBay cooperates with Amazon, they will surely be sued for monopolizing the market. That's why we don't exchange our shares for now. We can sell our shares to you, but we cannot let our companies own shares. This will be troublesome."
Kirilenko scratched his head. Monopolizing the market is too troublesome. But when he thinks about it, if Amazon, the world's number one company, cooperates with the world's number two company, eBay, they will be unrivaled in Europe and the US. After all, Kirilenko is one of the major shareholders of an eCommerce company in the Commonwealth of Independent States.
"What about Google?"
"Brother Ki, have you forgotten about your Lenko Search Engine? That is the biggest search engine in Eastern Europe and has 70% of the market share. We can't exchange shares for this company, but we can sell our shares to you. "
Kirilenko had used his own name to name this search engine company. It was extremely high-profile.
If Kirilenko is allowed to cooperate, the English, Chinese, and Russian search engines will be overtaken even if South Korea's search engine company has the core technologies.
The rest, such as Asian tiger, whose search technology was at the second level, would have no market at all. Unfortunately, he could not work with these companies.
Fortunately, the trading of ordinary shares is not subject to this restriction, and Kirilenko can still buy the newly issued shares of these two companies. However, exchanging shares and interfering with each other's board of directors is out of the question.
In fact, they didn't need to exchange shares. Their interests were already linked. Moreover, with the two of them around, it was unlikely that the companies would engage in vicious competition.
Li Zeju and Li Zekai looked at each other curiously. Why does it sound like Kirilenko doesn't have much money?
That shouldn't be the case. He is the richest man in Europe. Even if he invested some of his funds in stocks or businesses, he should be able to easily take out a few hundred million USD, right?
They did not know that Kirilenko had listened to Feng Yu and invested most of his cash in gold futures. Now, the price of gold was still rising, and they could make a lot of money by delivering their gold every quarter.
When they bought gold futures in the past, it was not much. But at the beginning of this year, gold had risen to 430 USD/ounce. But last month, gold prices started to fall suddenly. Luckily, Kirilenko had listened to Feng Yu and did not use high leverage. He had also set aside enough risk reserves for him to reverse the trend.
Feng Yu only remembered that gold prices had been fluctuating for the past few years. But he did not expect gold prices to fall suddenly from 430 USD to 375 USD.
Luckily, Feng Yu had been preparing for this situation. Wind & Rain Consulting's account had enough risk reserves. Kirilenko and Feng Yu settled some of their contracts and shorted gold. Not only they did not suffer any losses, but they also maintained high profits.
When gold prices fell to 380 USD, Kirilenko and Feng Yu continued to set up contracts to buy gold at an average price of 378 USD/ounce.
Unsurprisingly, gold prices started to rise again. Now, it is close to 400 USD, and Kirilenko and Feng Yu had made more profits.
Kirilenko has cash now. Although he still has a lot of loans from the bank, the increase in interest is not as high as futures and stocks. That's why Kirilenko can make money from both sides while paying the high interest from the bank.
Kirilenko's cash is mainly from Polar Bear Mining Group and Polar Bear Supermarket Group's profits. As for the other companies, their profits are not high, or there are no profits at all.
The sudden drop in gold prices also shocked Kirilenko, who had wanted to use high leverage some time ago. He decided to listen to Feng Yu's advice. They can use leverage, but not more than 5 times.
The futures market is changing, and Feng Yu is worried that history will change because of him. What if gold prices suddenly plummet, and they do not react in time?
Even so, Kirilenko and Kirilenko can still guarantee their quarterly profits of more than 20%. This is considered a very high return. Normal financial investment companies can only achieve 20% annual returns, and they are considered a gold company!
This year, Kirilenko and Kirilenko had made a lot of money. If not, how can Kirilenko become Europe's top billionaire and enter the top 10 this year?!
Kirilenko is proud to be one of the top 10 billionaires in < Forbes >. Kirilenko had made a big mistake last time. Every billionaire on the list will get a magazine from < Forbes >. But last year, < Forbes > had sent the magazine to his house in Russia, and Kirilenko did not know that.
During this period, Kirilenko had been very high-profile. He had publicly ridiculed the eight people ranked above him. Of course, Feng Yu is not included.
Kirilenko announced that he will become the second richest man in the world within three years. This meant that Bill Gates's net worth couldn't skyrocket even if he wanted to double his net worth in three years with only a little more than ten billion.
At that time, his remarks were ridiculed by many rich people, especially Paul Allen, who was the happiest. But Bill Gates did not say anything. He knew Kirilenko's businesses have great potential.
Kirilenko's net worth had increased a lot when eBay's share prices started to rise. Kirilenko still claims that < Forbes > had given him a low valuation. How much is Kirilenko's net worth now?
