My Age of Investment

   Chapter 757

  Following Fuld and Madoff, seven or eight people came over and took the initiative to find Xia Jingxing to talk.

  The lively scene in the dining area has attracted the attention of many people around.

  They whispered one after another, discussing Xia Jingxing and Envision Capital.

After sending away a CEO of an insurance company, Ivanka turned to look at Xia Jingxing, without concealing the admiration in her eyes.

   "You are so dazzling. Even if you hide in a corner, you can't stop the enthusiasm of people to come and make friends."

  Ivanka’s big eyes flickered. Just now, she had been listening to the conversation between Xia Jingxing and various financial tycoons.

  She found that among the people who came to talk, except for Fuld who might be hitting Facebook by accident, most of the others came for Vision Capital.

  She used to think that Facebook is the most successful entrepreneurial project for the man next to her, and the rest is just a little joke.

  However, I did not expect that Vision Capital, which was only established for two or three years, has grown into a not-so-weak alternative asset management company.

  She has just heard a number that is constantly being mentioned-5 billion U.S. dollars.

  And this is only the scale of asset management of the hedge funds of Envision Capital, excluding other VC and PE departments.

  If all financial services are added, the scale of tens of billions of dollars may not be far away, right?

  Listening to these financial tycoons, they said that they were billions of dollars and tens of billions of dollars. She compared her father, whom she admired since childhood, and found that there was nothing.

  The real estate tycoons in the United States are not like China. In this land, the real tycoons who play finance and technology are the real tycoons.

  Her father, his tone is mader than anyone else, and his foundation is worse than anyone else.

  In the past two years, it filed for bankruptcy of the casino resort and hotel business with 1.8 billion US dollars in debt. Until now, it has not been relieved.

  Xia Jingxing smiled at Ivanka, did not speak, and kept thinking and analyzing in his heart.

  Vision Capital raised a fund of funds of 3 billion US dollars, and the news is about to spread in the industry.

  Although he wanted to keep it confidential, he couldn’t help it because it involved some external fundraising and couldn’t control some big-mouthed LPs at all.

  Such a large amount of living water funds naturally attracted the attention of some people.

  In particular, their publicly announced name is still the fund of funds. Therefore, hedge funds and asset management companies of all walks of life want to find other sources to help Envision Capital manage some of the funds.

  Next to the dining area.

A middle-aged man wearing black square glasses leaned against the table, took a deep look at the man and woman not far away, and drank the red wine in the glass in one breath, as if he had made a lot of determination. Step by step walked towards the two.

   "Sorry, sir, madam, to interrupt you for two minutes of precious time."

  Xia Jingxing looked at the strange middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him. He was about 50 years old with slightly bald hair and shameless appearance.

  After thinking about it carefully, he still didn't remember who this person was.

As if reading the puzzle on Xia Jingxing's face, the man quickly took out his business card.

   "I am a hedge fund manager, my name is John Paulson."

  Xia Jingxing took the business card and glanced at it for a few times. It felt a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

   "Mr. Paulson, what can you do with me?"

  Paulson took a deep breath and tried to calm down and said: "I heard that Envision Capital raised a fund of funds of 3 billion US dollars. I want to persuade you to invest in my new fund."

   is another one to sell!

  Xia Jingxing is getting a little impatient, does he need someone to help him manage the funds?

  Looking at the other person’s sincere and sincere expression, Xia Jingxing thought for a while, did not refuse bluntly, and said with a smile: "Well, as long as you can convince me within two minutes, investment is not a problem."

  When Xia Jingxing was brought into the crowd by Bellan Kefan and Mai Jinheng, Paulson noticed the young man.

  It's just that he is relatively small, and the two didn't introduce Xia Jingxing to him.

  Later, he heard someone discussing the fund of funds raised by Envision Capital, so he ran to the young man when he had the idea.

  It's been a while since he just watched aside.

  I tried to sell myself several times, but as soon as I moved my steps, I started to worry that I would be rejected again.

  Because he has been rejected too many times! Self-confidence has been hit hard.

After hesitating in his heart, seven or eight people jumped in front of him.

  Paulson had gathered all his courage and stood in front of Xia Jingxing.

  He took a deep breath again, "Daren, do you think the current housing market in the United States is normal?"

  Xia Jingxing frowned, "Just state your point of view directly."

   "Okay, then I'll just say it, I think the U.S. housing market is very abnormal, and I want to short it."

  Paulson said firmly in his eyes, “I am now raising a short-selling fund in the housing market, and I really need the support of LP.

  If you are willing to believe me, you can reap unimaginable huge returns. "

   Before Xia Jingxing could speak, Ivanka was the first to question: "You want to be a vacant market? What is your basis for judgment? And how do you want to go short?"

  Paulson ignored Ivanka, and stared at Xia Jingxing. This is the real decision maker.

  Xia Jingxing already remembered who this person was, waved to Ivanka, and signaled him not to ask more.

  He looked at Paulson in front of him and said, "Bring your fundraising materials and come to our company tomorrow."

  Paulson asked again: "Will you invest?"

   "I can't give you an accurate answer." Xia Jingxing said lightly.

  Paulson nodded, "Okay, I see."

  The goal was basically achieved, and Paulson left quickly.

  Ivanka looked at Paulson’s distant back and asked with some worry, "Daren, do you also think the housing market will fall?"

  Xia Jingxing shook his head, "I'm not sure, I just think the person in front of me is very interesting."

"Interesting?"

   "Yes, he just watched us for a long time..."

  After listening to Xia Jingxing’s account, Ivanka nodded, “I understand, this should be a frustrated hedge fund manager, and he should work harder than others.”

  Xia Jingxing saw that Ivanka was biased, and smiled: "Yes, he invested a small amount of money, if he can succeed, it’s best, it doesn’t matter if he can’t succeed, the amount of investment is not big anyway."

  Ivanka nodded, "I think he will seize this very rare and precious opportunity, because this is also his last chance."

"maybe!"

  "Do you think the housing market will fall?" Ivanka has always grasped this question, because her family is a real estate company, and she is very interested in understanding Xia Jingxing's views.

   "It will definitely fall!"

  Xia Jingxing's decisive tone made Ivanka a little bit astonished, her red lips slightly opened and her eyes widened.

Seeing that Ivanka was stunned, Xia Jing smiled, and his tone slowed down: "But no one knows the time, or next month, maybe next year, or maybe three or five years later, who Do you know?"

  This is equivalent to not saying, Ivanka rolled her eyes.

  After a while, the party progressed to the dance session.

   Accompanied by gentle music, a pair of uncles and aunts walked into the dance floor hand in hand and waltzed.

  Xia Jingxing was very gentleman with his hands behind his back and invited Ivanka to go dancing with him. The latter gladly stretched out his hand.

  The two came to the dance floor and slowly danced. They did not rush to make big moves, and got acquainted with each other's dance skills first.

   Holding Ivanka's slender waist, she still feels the good touch on her chest from time to time, Xia Jingxing is a little bit happy.

  Ivanka exhaled heat in Xia Jingxing’s ear, “You act lightly, it hurts me.”

  Xia Jingxing smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, there are so many people around me watching, I'm a little nervous."

  Ivanka glanced around, and there were indeed many uncles and aunts paying attention to the two of them, and some even stopped dancing and watched the two young men intently showing their meat-cutter dance skills.

   "Then don't use your hands so hard, your waist will almost be crushed by you."

  Ivanka blushed, and she could clearly feel it, the hand behind her firmly buckled her, and sent it in from time to time, to have a spiritual collision.

  Bah, the disguise is so good, in fact, there is not an LSP in my heart.

  However, Ivanka was not angry because of it, but was deeply proud of her strong capital.

  Men can conquer the world, women can conquer men.

  No matter how famous you are, no matter how high you are, you still can’t get rid of animal instincts.

  After dancing for a while, the party hasn't officially ended, and the two of them left in a hurry without even saying hello.
