Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Joey was almost depressed to death, because early the next morning, he received another call from Zhao Qin to postpone it.

Zhao Qin was not deliberately trying to seduce the other party, but because York asked him to visit Silicon Valley and said he wanted to report something to him.

Outsiders knew little about yesterday's shocking gambling, but York still heard about it.

Zhao Qin probably understood that the reason why York asked him to leave Silicon Valley was because he was concerned about the extra cash flow on his hands.

It doesn't matter, if York really has good investment recommendations, he doesn't mind listening to the other party. Yu Fake told him that York can be used with confidence.

But you have to throw in the carrot from time to time, and occasionally lift the stick.

A carrot in one hand and a stick in the other. Zhao Qin is quite familiar with this management style. He is not a stingy person, but he is not a soft-hearted person either.

The plane landed at San Jose International Airport, and York got a Mercedes to pick him up.

"This is not your car." York drives a Toyota Camry. Japanese cars are actually sold in average in the United States, mainly because the oil in the United States is not expensive.

York is different. This guy is very economical, which is evident from the fact that he even uses the free breakfast included in Zhao Qin's hotel package.

"BOSS, your status naturally prevents you from riding in that Toyota. I rented it. It's a bit expensive."

"I'll pay you back."

"Hey, dear boss, you are always so generous."

Zhao Qin shut up and said nothing.

The hotel still arranged the same suite as before, but the difference this time was that Zhao Qin had to pay for it himself.

After checking in, York asked him to take a rest first and then invite him to have dinner with him at noon.

"Don't bother me. I'll order some food for lunch. You come over at 12 o'clock and we'll eat in the room. It's easier to talk."

York agreed and left.

I didn't sleep, so I took a bath to clear my mind, and then took a notepad to record what happened during this period.

At about 11:, he ordered some food, and before the hotel could deliver the food, York arrived.

"Boss, the S&P has dropped to 1598. I want to confirm with you. Is it true that the delivery will not be until October next year?"

"has a problem?"

"Of course not, I just want to remind you that the principal has doubled now. If you close it..."

"No need, just watch the operation."

This topic was obviously not what York wanted to express. He immediately asked with a smile: "Boss, I heard that you have more than 7000 million in cash. Do you want me to help you with your investment?"

“Reinvest in the S&P?”

York immediately shook his head, "Boss, our money in S&P is just right, and it won't attract other people's attention.

If we invest another 7000 million, it will not be cost-effective if we do not use leverage. If we use leverage, the amount of funds will be too large and people will think that we are sniping at the S&P.

When the time comes, if those predatory funds take action again and attack us, we will be in trouble. The little money we have is still not enough for them. "

Zhao Qin smiled and nodded, very satisfied with York's reply, "Then how do you think this money should be spent?"

York took out a report that had been translated into Chinese, "Boss, these are the companies I have screened."

Zhao Qin took it and saw a few familiar names. Google, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle... almost all were high-tech companies.

At the end, he saw the name Apple.

The current status of the company is clear in the report. Apple’s current market value is US$720 billion. President Steve Jobs, since the Internet bubble burst in 02,

After going through the trough, the valuations of most Internet high-tech companies have rebounded in the past two years, but Apple's stock value has shown a slight decline in the past year.

This is also the reason why Apple’s ranking is at the bottom of the report provided by York.

"Apple's stock performance is not good, why did you include it in the report?"

York shrugged, "Boss, what I like is not Apple, but Steve. That is a great genius.

And as early as a year ago, it was reported that Apple was turning to the field of mobile phones. Although Moto and Nokia are currently very strong, Samsung and Sony in the east are also desperately trying to squeeze the market.

But based on my understanding of Steve, just like the iMac launched after his return in 97, it stunned the world as soon as it came out.

Therefore, if you invest in Apple, it involves gambling. You will either make a lot of money or lose a lot. It is not as safe as the previous ones. "

Another Qiao brag, but it’s not too much.

"York, you are a discerning man."

Zhao Qin's teasing tone made Yorke unable to tell for a moment whether this sentence was a true compliment or a sarcasm.

"So boss, do you plan to invest?"

"There's no rush. I'll think about it this afternoon and we'll confirm it in the evening."

"Then what are your plans for the afternoon?"

Without waiting for Zhao Qin's reply, he suggested: "There is a gathering of the financial community in Silicon Valley this afternoon, organized by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase. If you are willing, I can go with you."

"No barriers to entry?"

"Of course, I just have an invitation letter from Yu in my hand, and he definitely won't be able to come, so I'm sorry to have to wrong you, as Yu's agent."

Zhao Qin thought about it for a while, since he had nothing to do in the afternoon, he just thought it was a great experience.

As for investment, he already knew something about it. The reason why he didn't confirm it with York immediately was because he didn't want to be too casual and wanted York to understand.

Every investment is carefully considered by him.

After chatting, York left and Zhao Qin caught up on some sleep. At 2:30 in the afternoon, York came to pick him up again.

The party was very loosely organized, unlike in China where there was no official organization, and no leader spoke. It would be more appropriate to call it a cocktail party.

It is nothing more than inviting everyone to a venue, chatting individually, making connections, and promoting investment cooperation.

Zhao Qin came here mainly to see the big shots. There were many big shots at the scene, but he really recognized none of them.

There was no Jobs, no Bill Gates, and no Zuckerberg. Instead, we saw several oriental faces, including those from Japan and South Korea, as well as Chinese.

Zhao Qin sat in the corner with a glass of red wine in front of him. Unfortunately, there was no Sprite, so he didn't like it very much.

York wanted to accompany him, but he pushed him away.

I took a sip of red wine, frowned, and then looked up from time to time to look at the people in the venue. I suddenly regretted why I came here to sit there and drink water.

After a while I actually saw a familiar face.

Not far to his left, there were two women in formal dresses, like butterflies in flowers. One of them, the older one, seemed to be familiar with many people.

He brought another younger one with him, as if he was introducing her to connections, and also seemed to be showing off his connections to her.

The older Zhao Qin didn't know her, but the younger one had seen her on TV. Before coming to the United States, he and Ashue had watched a movie starring that woman, with Uncle Ge and Liu Tianwang. What was it called? ?
