Back to 1995

Chapter 916

Surya's attitude became a bit more respectful when she saw the person coming. Whether Surya will become a new star on Wall Street is still unknown, but the little old man in front of him is already a well-known figure on Wall Street. , even if his life has not been so good in the past two years!
Julian Robinson has been famous for a long time. Together with Soros and Stan Hatton, he is also known as the three major hedge fund giants on Wall Street. Of course, compared to his reputation, Soros is of course more famous. After all, his record is too arrogant. The most that a fund can do is to short a certain company to scrape some oil and water. Soros is a country and has succeeded many times.

But Julian Robinson is also well-known enough. He started with 800 million US dollars. In ten years, he has made Tiger Fund reach 210 billion US dollars. At that time, Julian Robinson did not have the frenzy of the Internet. The increase in net worth by geometric multiples is completely achieved by fighting on Wall Street. It can be achieved by fighting in the bloody hedge fund industry. If you have no real skills, you have jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge long ago.

In addition to establishing the Tiger Fund, Julian Robinson also cultivated a group of disciples, such as Chase Coleman, Philip Lafont, Ainsley, etc. In charge of a hedge fund, quite active in the investment industry.

Of course, when it comes to the popularity of Julian Robinson's disciples, it still has to be counted as a knife, which opened the eyes of the whole world. Bill Huang, who set off the world's most expensive fireworks and burned more than 100 billion dollars a day, is also at this moment. On Julian Robinson's team.

Julian Robinson didn't have the airs of the three major hedge fund giants on Wall Street. He had a glass of wine with Surya and said to Surya, "To be honest, I haven't seen a young man like you, Surya, for a long time. , Now the new generation of hedge managers are afraid of people like Bill Gates and Bruno Song like tigers, and they only want to get charity from these people!"

Julian Robinson mentioned the new generation of hedge fund managers on Wall Street with some disdain, thinking that the current hedge fund managers have lost their blood, and they will only beg for mercy for those sub-rich people on the Forbes wealth list, just hoping to be rewarded A piece of fat.

Back then, he and Soros were the ones who dared to attack the British pound. Now, there is no hedge fund on Wall Street that dares to short companies such as Microsoft and General Electric. people……

However, when referring to Surya, Julian Robinson changed into an admiring color, "Surya, you let me see the figure of that old guy. If it weren't for the current market situation in the foreign exchange market, I think we would have Collaboration has already begun!"

Heroes don’t mention being brave back then, but at Julian Robinson’s age, how can he not mention that in his most glorious era, he was attacking everywhere, shorting a company, even daring to snipe the British pound, shorting the old man, and trading sideways in the Southeast Asian stock market , That was the golden age of hedge funds.

But after so many years, all parts of the world have suffered losses, and they have begun to improve the stock market and foreign exchange systems. It is no longer possible to imagine cutting leeks as before. The era belonging to Julian Robinson is actually over!

Surya naturally knew who the old guy Julian Robinson was talking about was anyone else but Soros. Hearing Julian Robinson compare him to Soros, even if Surya was reserved, she still felt a little embarrassed. Different color.

"Since the establishment of Tiger Fund, the standard that has been followed is to invest in [-] companies in the world, then find the [-] worst companies in the world, and then short them!"

When Julian Robinson said this, there was a bit of murderous intent in his words. I don’t know how many companies in America were wiped out under his standard, or their vitality was severely damaged, and they could never stand up again.

Surya nodded in agreement. Although he thought that people like Julian Robinson were outdated and unable to keep up with the times, he had to admit that these people's experience and theory were indeed rich.

In the distance of the reception, looking at Surya and Julian Robinson who were standing together and chatting happily, after hearing the identity of Julian Robinson, many people looked at Surya with strange expressions. Let Julian Robinson, a big Wall Street figure, take the initiative to come to talk, and there is a faint sense of wooing, which makes them treat Surya a little differently.

After talking for a long time and touting Surya for a long time, Julian Robinson finally said, "Surya, do you think shorting Amazon is an opportunity?!"

Surya shook her head, "There are no absolutes in this world, I just saw an opportunity!"

Julian Robinson was satisfied with this answer. If Surya talked a lot of truths to convince Julian Robinson, then Julian Robinson would not be interested.

"Amazon is now Bruno Song's Achilles' heel. As long as it is broken, all of Bruno Song's Internet presence will collapse, and the entire Nasdaq will follow..."

Surya squeezed her fist hard, "Crash again, Mr. Julian Robinson, I can only say that I see an opportunity. Nasdaq has experienced a big crash, but for some Internet companies, the bubble is still Too big, they shouldn't be in the NASDAQ anymore!"

Julian Robinson stared fixedly at Surya. After a while, he nodded slowly and raised his wine glass, "Tiger Foundation joins!"

After Surya and Julian Robinson talked for a while, celebrities, models, and starlets came to Surya immediately, and even leaned directly in his arms, and New York celebrities kept coming to Surya Toast and say compliments to him.

Surya told herself that now is not the time to enjoy it, but in this atmosphere of being praised as a big shot, people can't help but feel a little lost. Originally wanting to drink a glass of wine, she went back to review the game, but in this gentle town Can't help but fade away...

Julian Robinson came to a corner, a group of people from the Tiger Fund were here, Chase Coleman, Philip Lafont, Ainsley and others, and Bill Huang were all here Well, Bill Huang's qualifications are too junior now, not as good as Chase Coleman and others, so he can only listen from the sidelines.

Looking at the crowd of Tiger Fund, Julian Robinson said directly, "Tiger Fund and Chris Hedge Fund teamed up to short Amazon and deal with Bruno Song!"

Chez Coleman said to Julian Robinson cautiously, "Would it be too risky? Amazon's current market value is not high anymore. The cash flow in Bruno Song's hands may exceed ours." It is estimated that the risk is not small now!"

Julian Robinson just shook his head about what Chase Coleman said, "Surya's plan is indeed feasible. It is impossible for Bruno Song to give up Amazon, but it is impossible for him to combine Amazon, ebay, Fortinet, Sohu and other companies are all kept!"

Seeing what else Chase Coleman, Ainsley and others wanted, Julian Robinson said directly, "Tiger Fund needs this performance!"

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the Tiger Fund stopped talking. Julian Robinson took the initiative to come over to meet Surya this time. The main reason was the performance of the Tiger Fund in the past two years, which was really bad. .

Both Julian Robinson and Buffett belong to the school of value investing, but Buffett does not short, while Julian Robinson cuts both ends.

A few years ago, the Internet was in full swing. Julian Robinson, like Buffett, was an investment valuer. He believed that the Internet had no investment value, so he took a heavy position in airline stocks. Julian Robinson believed that Internet stocks would soon fall, and then, just like The tide went against the tide and began to short the Internet industry. The result can be imagined. At that time, the Nasdaq index soared, the Internet stock price exploded and doubled several times a year, and Tiger Fund suffered a disastrous loss.

Just as Buffett was ridiculed by investors for being an old man, Julian Robinson was also questioned by investors about whether he understood investment. Investors began to withdraw their funds in the loss of Tiger Fund.

After a few years of hard work, Julian Robinson had no choice but to retain investors and improve the performance of Tiger Fund. Against his will, Julian Robinson began to pursue technology stocks, and invested in computer companies such as Dell and Compaq last year. The result is predictable. As we all know, Tiger Fund, which became a panxia, ​​closed three of its foundations at a loss this year, and investors withdrew $70 billion from Tiger Fund.

Facts have proved that Julian Robinson's vision is correct. The Internet is indeed not worth the price, but the strength of the Internet in the past few years has made countless Wall Street veterans doubt their lives, and the bubble lasted for four or five years before it burst. In the past four or five years, Those old Wall Street cannonballs who looked down on the Internet were basically wiped out by the regiment...

Now there is only one way for Julian Robinson, to quickly improve the performance of Tiger Fund and retain investors, otherwise Tiger Fund will be liquidated if it continues.

Julian Robinson had no choice but to find Surya and join forces with Surya to short-sell, intending to kill big investors and get a fortune from Song Yang to improve the performance of Tiger Fund!
When Surya woke up in the morning, she had a splitting headache. She took one arm away from her body and looked at the two women on the bed. Surya had some fragments of what happened last night. She only remembered these two women and seemed to want to Invest with him.

Rubbing her head and looking at the time, Surya scolded that it was a mistake to drink, threw down two business cards to the two people on the bed, and then got up and rushed to the company. The person who confesses.

After drinking a large cup of espresso, Surya was pulled up again when she saw the stock price of Amazon. She shook her head and laughed, and ordered to the trader, "Throw away all the Amazon stocks I bought yesterday!"

At noon, KPCB Ventures, the third largest shareholder of Amazon, officially announced publicly that because of serious losses, all Amazon stocks in their hands were liquidated, and KPCB Ventures also ran away!
