Vol 6 Chapter 288: Right in the middle
Regarding the redecorated house, Heidi had many places to offer treasures to his two daughters, and also took Vincent away by the way. Soon, only two men remained in the hall.
John pointed to the furnishings at home and introduced a few of them to Feng Yiping. After that, he naturally chatted about the recent economic situation.
"The worst time is really not here yet?" John asked Feng Yiping.
"I think it hasn't arrived yet. The companies that have gone bankrupt are just the beginning," Feng Yiping said.
"You mean, there will be some heavyweight companies that will have problems?" John was a little surprised.
"I think that as the situation in the future deteriorates, this possibility is not ruled out at all," Feng Yiping analyzed. "Look, those companies that have been involved the deepest now seem to have not been affected at all. This is abnormal."
"Fortunately!" John said with some relief, "You know, originally under the advice of those financial advisers, we actually invested in a lot of real estate securities. Fortunately, we started early, otherwise..."
He shook his head, some not only imagined the consequences.
Taking the wealth he has accumulated over so many years in the mall, if those securities are not sold, the house will not be taken away like ordinary people, but it is estimated that his wealth will have to be reduced by at least half, especially the assets that can be used for investment. It will be lost.
"Fortunately, we collected all the investments very early, and finally bought shares of companies such as Apple as you suggested."
"Heidi also bought some gold,"
Feng Yiping smiled, women really have such hobbies, "That's also a good choice, isn't it?"
John also laughed, "Yes, speaking of the gold that Heidi bought, the rate of increase is larger than that of many stocks we bought."
"Judging from the current bad situation, the price of gold should continue to rise, right," he asked.
He also knows that, logically, when such a crisis occurs, a hard currency such as gold will be sought after by many people, which will increase its price.
But for investment, it happens that in many cases, the development trend of things will not go in the direction that should be taken.
Therefore, he was a little uncertain.
"I think it should be so," Feng Yiping affirmed.
"So, next year, is it possible to exceed $1,000?" John asked again.
"To put it simply, generally speaking, when the dollar depreciates, the price of gold will rise,"
"Others, there are also the influence of supply and demand factors. For example, with the development of the economy, the demand for gold in China and India will increase."
"Also, conflicts in some hotspots, such as the Iraq War, the resulting series of tensions will also increase the price of gold,"
"At the same time, the trend of rising gold prices will definitely attract more and more speculative demand..."
"So on the whole, I think gold should continue to maintain its upward momentum in the next few years,"
"US$1,000 per ounce, in the following, it should be nothing,"
Feng Yiping introduced to John in detail some of the main factors that he thought the price of gold would rise, and said his own conclusions.
A very good phenomenon is that neither Huang Jingping's nor Ma Ling's interfered with Feng Yiping's business, so on the contrary, he felt obligated to give them some advice on investment.
The better the economic conditions of their family, the less likely it is that some unpleasant things will happen in the future.
"Oh, then Heidi will be very proud," John said. "Do you think I need to cash out some stocks to buy gold?"
"You see, except for Apple's stock which is doing well now, the stock prices of other companies, including Google, are now in a correction."
"From the perspective of the development of these stocks you hold, I don't think it is necessary. Their fundamentals have not changed. The current correction is only affected by the market, and it is estimated that it will not be affected. how long,"
"Considering the related taxes and fees generated by cashing out, I think long-term holding is still a good choice."
For some high-return investments, the taxation in the United States will really be so high that you can resist.
"However, it would be a good idea to use other proceeds to buy gold, or to use these stocks to finance the purchase of gold,"
"Oh, then we have to plan well," John rubbed his hands. "Now, let me show you around here?"
Feng Yiping stood up, "Okay, I also want to take a good look at Orlando,"
"Are you going out?" Ma Ling called down while standing on the stairs.
"Yes, John took me out for a walk,"
"Oh, Dad, you don't want to take Feng to see your projects, right?"
Feng Yiping glanced at John, and it seemed that John really had such a plan.
"How is it, are you interested?"
Of course it must be appreciated! "I can't wait," Feng Yiping said. "In China, we have also developed some apartments, but they are not sold externally, and all are provided to our employees."
"Oh, isn't it?" John stopped. He was obviously more interested in this topic. "Generally, how large?"
"We are building high-rise apartments, a project, at least one million square meters or more," Feng Yiping said.
John's mouth grew big suddenly.
Upstairs, Heidi and the three mothers and daughters couldn't help but laugh in a low voice.
Oh, Feng Yiping really didn't notice, and he hit John by accident.
Also, in the case of Orlando, the population is only about 200,000, a one-million-square-meter real estate project? What's properly done here is a huge project.
Even in a metropolis like Chicago, such a project is rare. Even with such an opportunity, it is difficult for a mid-sized real estate developer like John to play around.
Feng Yiping quickly explained, "Hehe, mainly because we have too many employees in those cities and the demand is too great."
John didn't speak.
A project with a construction area of more than one million square meters, whether it is a high-rise apartment or a single-family house, he does not seem to have the opportunity to operate. Then, how many houses have I built in the past few decades?
He bowed his head and settled silently.
Anyway, I never meant to take Feng Yiping to see the projects he developed.
The projects he developed are just a community, how big is it, and how many houses are there?
With a project like Feng Yiping, people with a million square meters will go to see ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Isn't that for adults to watch children's play games?
Ma Ling walked down with a smile, took Feng Yiping's hand, and whispered in Feng Yiping's ear, "John shouldn't take you there."
Feng Yiping is really embarrassed, I am really unintentional.
John also knew that he was unintentional, but sometimes, it was such unintentional words that hurt people even more.
Moreover, if an amateur hits professionals in the real estate industry, the hit is obviously greater.
"Do you want to visit my room?" Ma Ling continued to say in his ear.
"Okay," Feng Yiping looked at John who was standing there, thinking it's better not to disturb him, and gently followed Ma Ling upstairs.
As soon as Feng Yiping left, John immediately moved. Heidi walked over and looked at his shocked look. He always felt a little funny, "Honey, in my mind, you are always the best! "
…………
I don’t know if it’s because of Heidi’s affirmation. By the time of dinner, John regained his spirit, "Feng, welcome, welcome to join our house,"
Although this is a normal American welcome, Feng Yiping, who is holding a wine glass, always feels that, how does it sound like I mean to be a superfluous person?
"You are also welcome to come," John continued. "At least in terms of climate, San Francisco can't compare to us."
It is true that the subtropical Florida, also known as the Sunshine State, has a better climate than San Francisco.
"Listen to Ma Ling, you don't like places that are too cold in winter?" Heidi asked.
Feng Yiping nodded, "Yes, I do like it here, like the warm winter here,"
"Then you must go to Palm Beach," Heidi said. "It's still warm there."
Feng Yiping smiled, "I just meant it," 8)
