My Age of Investment

  Chapter 750 Strategic Partners

  The next day.

  Peter Thiel rushed from Silicon Valley to New York, and walked into the 40th Wall Street.

  Xia Jingxing went to the front desk to welcome people into his office.

  As soon as the two of them sat down, Peter Thiel went straight to the subject.

  "Dalun, I have discussed with the board of directors and decided to follow you!"

  Peter Thiel’s tone was firm, as if he had made a major decision.

  Actually, he alone has the final say on the hedge fund of Claire Capital.

  The so-called board of directors is an excuse to shirk.

  Xia Jingxing is very clear about the inside story, and he didn't break it up, but he was very happy on purpose.

   "Peter, you have made a wise decision. Don't worry, I will never treat you badly after it's done."

  Peter Thiel smiled, "The rewards are actually secondary, and the main thing is to provide you with some help within your ability.

  We are the closest partners, so we should help each other out. "

  These words are very beautiful.

  Xia Jingxing nodded, "Yes, if it is useful to come to my place in the future, just speak up."

  Peter Thiel quickly said yes.

  After the two people chatted for a while, Peter Thiel began to turn the topic to this financial action.

  "Daren, what do you want to invest in with such a heavy bet this time?"

  Peter Thiel observed Xia Jingxing’s expression, and saw that he was silent, so he quickly added: “If it’s not ready yet and it’s not convenient to tell it, I’ll leave it alone.”

  "The deployment is almost complete, you will know when you come to my private party tomorrow."

  …………

  …………

  Standing on the spacious balcony of the large flat-floor apartment on the top floor of the New York Plaza Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, you can overlook the world’s largest man-made natural landscape-4 kilometers long, 0.8 kilometers wide and 843 acres of Central Park.

  Lush trees, light green grass, courtyard, ice skating rink, carousel, amphitheatre, zoo, lake, tennis court, sports field, art gallery...

  Xia Jingxing held the red wine glass and looked down for a long time before taking back his gaze.

  "Dalun, can you see such an oasis in the steel jungle in the most prosperous city in China?"

  Da Mo’s CEO Mai Jinheng came from another corner of the balcony with a red wine glass.

Xia Jingxing raised his eyebrows first, then shook his head.

  This kind of performance fell in the eyes of Mai Jinheng, thinking that the other party was angry.

  So he added: “I have been to China several times. It is a land full of economic vitality. We also jointly established Morgan Stanley Huaxin Fund with Huaxin Securities.

  My opinion is that in the process of focusing on economic development, too much of the creation of human settlements should not be discarded. What do you think? "

  Xia Jingxing and Mai Jinheng clinked glasses, “You are right, but now China is fully developing its economy, and there is not much money to plan urban construction. In the future, everything will be fine.”

  Mai Jinheng smiled politely. He didn't think any big city in China would be willing to take out such a large piece of land to build a park.

  Xia Jingxing saw some of Mai Jinheng’s true thoughts, but he didn’t bother to debate it.

  Central Park was built in 1857. At that time, it was still a small village inhabited by poor African-Americans, German or Irish immigrants, and it was easy to complete the demolition.

   Really wait until the demolition in the 21st century, let alone the difficulty of demolition, various parliaments and small groups may be involved for decades.

  Even if the demolition is really completed, the capitalists will build a park for you?

  The Old Summer Palace was built in 1707 and destroyed in 1860. The area is 10 hectares larger than the Central Park, and the buildings inside are all-rounded to the Central Park.

  It can only be said that the Chinese people today are still paying for the backwardness two hundred years ago and bearing the burden of humiliation for the revival.

  The so-called pride of the Americans is not worth mentioning in the face of China's former glory.

  The Chinese do not have to envy what is good abroad, and where we are not. This is because we have a more important mission in our bodies and can only temporarily sacrifice the happiness of a few generations.

  After paying off the debt two hundred years ago, it is the beginning of the Chinese people to create new brilliance.

  Ma Jinheng, the son of Lebanese immigrants, is full of American citizen pride.

  On the contrary, Goldman Sachs CEO Bellan Kefan, a native white man, is much smoother, not talking about everything in China.

  "Daren, you have a real vision. The best view apartment in New York is where we are stepping on it."

  Berankfan pointed inside the house, "I just took a look. Your apartment should have an area of ​​six to seven thousand square feet, and the price may not be less than 50 million US dollars."

  The selling price is close to US$100,000 per square meter. It is not too exaggerated in reference to the location and currency.

   "You misunderstood, I didn't buy it, just lease it."

  Xia Jingxing actually wanted to buy this apartment, because you can enjoy the four seasons scenery of Central Park by opening the window, and it is also close to the company.

  However, I am shy in my pocket, and there is no excess funds to improve my life.

  In fact, there is not much difference between renting and buying.

  Berlankfan smiled, "With your financial resources, it is easy to buy an apartment like this. On the contrary, we are professional managers who need to struggle for many years."

This is purely modest. According to Xia Jingxing’s knowledge, as the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Bellan Kefan, as the CEO of Goldman Sachs, has a floating bonus linked to the company’s performance. When Goldman Sachs has a good harvest, his annual salary is as high as 60 to 70 million US dollars, and the poor harvest is at least higher. Ten million dollars.

  This is a rich man who has become a billion-dollar man by working alone.

Goldman Sachs is a company with a history of hundreds of years. It is impossible to give Liu Zhiping an equity reward like Penguin, and the stock price has risen very slowly. Now the market value is 60 billion U.S. dollars, and the market value has only doubled after more than a decade. It is not easy to save this family business.

  And Liu Zhiping only joined the company after Penguin went public in 2005. Although he joined the company late, he has also become a billionaire worthy of billions of dollars. In fact, his share of shares is not high, mainly because Penguin's stock price has risen too many times.

  In the house, Jiang Ping and Liu Haizheng were chatting with several vice presidents of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on the sofa. Peter Thiel sat aside, interjecting a few words from time to time.

  But Peter Thiel’s mind is completely absent at this moment, and from time to time he casts his attention to the three figures on the balcony.

  Seeing Xia Jingxing beckoning to him suddenly, Peter Thiel quickly picked up the red wine, greeted the people around him and ran to the balcony.

  "This is Mr. Peter Thiel, CEO of Claire Capital."

  Following Xia Jingxing’s introduction, Bellan Kefan and Mai Jinheng shook hands with Peter Thiel.

  "I know you, the founder of PayPal, a very good young man!"

  Mai Jinheng picked up the wine glass and touched it with Peter Thiel.

  Peter Thiel is very happy. Although the big brother of Da Mo is worth the same as him, his status is much higher, and the resources at his disposal are not a level.

  So Peter Thiel is very happy to get a compliment from McJin-Heng.

  Just now, he was a bit short in his identity, so he didn't pretend to come over to say hello.

   "Clary Capital, it seems to be a hedge fund, right?"

  Peter Thiel nodded to Belankvan, "Yes, our current asset management scale is 3 billion US dollars."

   "Good scale, great potential."

  Belankfan said that his words were neither salty nor indifferent, which made Peter Thiel a slight blow.

  They really can only be regarded as medium-sized hedge funds, and they are not enough to make the CEO of Goldman Sachs take it seriously.

  Even if it becomes a large hedge fund, it needs to rely on these large investment banks in terms of capital allocation and trading.

  Xia Jingxing kept silent, watching all this quietly from the side.

  He just wants to kill Peter Thiel’s prestige, so that the follow-up cooperation will be happy.

  "Two, Claire Capital is a strategic partner of Envision Capital. Next, Envision Capital’s Fund of Funds will invest a small amount in Claire Capital.

  In the follow-up cooperation, please also take care of Peter and Claire Capital. "
