Golden God?

Andy didn't care much about this, but the old hooligan's argument that gold cannot lay eggs can be used as a reference for Andy, but it is definitely not the Bible. It can even be said that it is a worthless value view in this period.

Since the United States has made the US dollar the only overlord currency. Gold is no longer directly exchanged and pegged to the US dollar, gold has actually become a risky asset. After all, the monetary attributes of gold have been buried in the snow.

The reason why Buffett believes that gold is useless is that so many people agree and firmly believe that all those who believe that gold is useless are the first thing that comes to mind is that gold is placed in an underground storage room, spending so much money to extract gold and finally make gold bars and store it in an underground warehouse. It also consumes a lot of manpower and material resources to guard it. It seems that from this perspective, gold is not just a chicken that cannot lay eggs in Buffett's perception, but should also be considered a negative asset!

Buffett is the stock god, so he can naturally say that gold is useless, but the so-called value investment only makes him a stock god! The understanding of gold should not be measured by the cash flow of stocks and the purpose of social consumption. Valuation from the perspective of stocks is itself a problem.

Gold is gold!

As Andy's participation in financial knowledge and finance increases day by day, he also sees the huge pit laid by various countries in the future during this financial crisis.

Currency, only coins, no goods, currency needs to have both goods and coins. The US dollar is supported by crude oil, so if anyone threatens the status of the petroleum dollar, the United States will attack its opponents at all costs and launch many wars for this.

But what about other countries? Currencies need gold to tie up the banknotes. Just like now, one with a left of 700 billion US dollars and one with a right of 4 trillion, it is all a big sea... The printing machines of various countries are driving at full speed and are constantly printing money. Andy feels that the future reshaping of the global monetary system will not be put on the agenda by human will.

In today's society, assets around the world are financialized, leveraged, credited, banknote-based, and electronic. All assets have become risky assets. Where does people's confidence and sense of security come from?

The time value of assets is the most stable among all assets. Even though the monetary attributes of gold have been hidden in the past forty years, gold is still gold, and the time value has never changed.

Of course, in the Celestial Dynasty, the confidence and sense of security of assets have become a house. Although it has only been 70 years, it is the real wealth that individuals can hold for the longest time, not some floating wealth, so it will rise and rise...

Therefore, in the next few years when the currencies of the world are soaked in the water, Andy will never give up holdings of gold. Moreover, this batch of gold is also his reliance and foundation, and he can use this as a fulcrum to leverage more funds.

In the afternoon, Andy and his men met with several people led by Vivendi Ceo Renault in a luxurious conference room at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Regarding Vivendi's desire to increase the price, Andy refused again with a smile. You should know that this time, Andy has been preparing to make plans for more than a month just to teach General Electric a lesson. If Vivendi is not tactful, he doesn't mind being able to interfere with them.

Since he is all fish on the chopping board in his eyes, why should he compromise with the other party? Even if the negotiations collapse, he will not only save $4.2 billion, but he can also cut a piece of meat from them at that time.

At worst, when GE is cleaned up and the negotiations are restarted, I believe that GE will have better communication at that time. After completing the merger and acquisition, as the controller of NBC Global, Andy will turn around and clean up the French who are not conscious of the current affairs. If he doesn't make up their urine, he will be considered incompetent!

Unfortunately, Vivendi did not give Andy the opportunity to deal with them. For this very useless 20% stake, Vivendi has long been dumped, but has always wanted to sell it at a good price, hoping that the giant General Electric can complete the acquisition and make a big profit. However, who knew that after waiting for a few years, he would encounter a financial crisis. General Electric would be unable to protect itself, so how could he still pay for this irrelevant share?

Everyone in Vivendi understood that the young rich man in front of him was also a person who was with his chairman Vincent Ponori. Although he was smiling and talking and laughing, once he could not achieve his own interests, he would turn around and take a knife and stab him. He was decisive and cruel, despicable and shameless...

Thinking of his 200-year-old chairman of the Bonori family, who used erosion to occupy the nest and control Vivendy, it seemed that Andy Smith, the Andy Smith, in front of him, also made Renault complain in his heart that none of these families who could make a fortune are good!

"Okay, Mr. Smith, you won, we agree to your offer." Let Renault know that even if he says anything else, it would be a waste of time. It is obvious that Andy Smith has made a plan. Even if they don't agree, it will not prevent him from implementing the plan. In order to avoid being affected by the disaster, since he can make money, why don't he agree? Anyway, the investment in the acquisition of Universal Pictures has long been made back, and now this 20% of the shares can be sold for US$4.2 billion, which is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal for Vivendi's performance.

"This is a win-win situation, and the cooperation is pleasant!" Andy showed a happy smile on his face, shook hands with Renault and others, and said politely, but in his heart, I have won you twice again!

"Originally, our chairman wanted to meet and communicate with Mr. Smith, but now others are in Peru to attend the APA conference with the president..."

"Haha, there will be a chance to meet in the future. This is a bank promissory note and can be cashed on Monday." After saying that, Andy reached out and took a white envelope and handed it to Jean Renault, pressed the documents and share transfer letters to the left, showing a happy and bright smile. Andy naturally had some understanding of Vincent Bonori, but he was not here to meet the head of the Bonori family this time.

When the person who sent Vivendy away, Andy looked at the share certificate and share transfer letter in the transaction contract, showed a charming smile with satisfaction, and finally completed this most critical step. Now, as long as the stock market opens on Monday, Andy can implement a plan to crack down on GE. After communicating with Vivendy, both parties finally agreed to announce the transaction on Monday morning. Well, this can be considered as a joint effort to cheat GE!
