Rebirth of the Financial Overlord

Sometimes when I think about it, Antonio feels like he has been beaten by a dog.

After finally surviving the Cold War and the end of the Gulf War, what the fuck happened to the economic crisis brought about by the turmoil in European financial distance, resulting in the company's market value falling below the issue price, and its financial situation getting worse.

He understood it.

If the oil tycoons and arms dealers of the Republican Party are allowed to continue, Qualcomm will not be able to develop normally at all. Only by supporting the Democratic Party in power can it bring development opportunities for technology companies.

In order to participate in this banquet, Antonio bought this porcelain from a French antique dealer for a full two hundred thousand dollars out of his own pocket.

Don't think that $200,000 is small money.

You know, Antonio's annual salary is only one hundred thousand dollars.

The base price of this lot is US$10,000, and each bidding increase must not be less than US$1,000. Now, the auction begins.

Ten thousand and five thousand!

Twenty-six thousand!

.

fifty thousand.

.

Eighty-five thousand, is there any higher?

.

One hundred thousand dollars.

Under the auspices of Diane Lane, the guests all around held up the signs they had obtained in advance, and raised the prices for the auction items contributed by Antonio.

It's just obvious that when the price soared to 100,000 US dollars, the atmosphere of bidding suddenly stopped.

Is there anything higher than one hundred thousand dollars?

One hundred thousand dollars a time.

Following Soros' footsteps, Shen Jiannan took the number plate from the waiter and watched this hypocritical auction with great interest.

Soon, the two arrived in a crowd that seemed to be a small circle. An old man wearing gold-rimmed glasses turned around and smiled brightly, glanced at Shen Jiannan, and greeted Soros.

Hi, George. Is this your friend?

Oh. Warren. Let me introduce you. This is Shen. I think you've heard his name.

Shen. This is my friend Warren Buffett.

Buffett's appearance here was both a surprise and not a surprise to Shen Jiannan.

When Clinton took office, the biggest supporters behind him were financial tycoons and representatives of emerging economic industries. As the fifth-generation stock god in the United States, this investment master who has begun to enter the annals of history, of course, it is understandable to support Clinton in terms of interests and needs.

Of course, with Shen Jiannan's temperament, he lacks awe of this world, let alone just a stock god wrapped in a coat.

He has witnessed countless magnificence that Buffett has never seen before.

How did that joke come about.

Buffett: I have lived to be 89 years old, and I have only seen four US stock market meltdowns. I am too young...

As for Shen Jiannan, he has seen the U.S. stock market meltdown four times in ten days, and he has also seen the incredible drop of crude oil to a negative number.

Wheel of age. Buffett is simply too young.

With these insights that break history and logic, Shen Jiannan feels in his bones that he has more background than people of this era.

Hi, I'm Shen Jiannan. Nice to meet you.

Under the introduction of Soros, Shen Jiannan held out his hand to Buffett politely. No matter how you say it, Buffett is an iconic figure in the US financial market, and he has almost become the embodiment of the word investment. Learn from his experience.

In the face of the capital giants that brought down the European financial system, Buffett did not dare to be careless, and reached out his hand to shake Shen Jiannan neither humble nor overbearing.

Hello, Mr. Shen. I have known you for a long time, and it is really an honor to know you.

Mr. Buffett is too polite. Your name has long been known, and it is my honor to know you.

On the stage, Lian En smiled and shouted to the surrounding guests.

One hundred thousand dollars twice! Is there a higher bid!

Soros did not introduce to Shen Jiannan those people who were full of flattery and longing to look at this side, but shifted his attention to the auction on the stage. Lian En's shout fell to the ground, and he gently raised the sign in his hand.

Two hundred thousand dollars.

A price increase of 100,000 US dollars, all eyes in the venue immediately focused on Soros, and Antonio looked at Soros with a very ugly face, thanking Soros for letting him avoid the embarrassing situation of raising the price and taking the lot back. .

The gentleman offered $200,000. Is there anything higher?

Two hundred thousand dollars a time.

Whoever has a wattless head will buy a piece of porcelain from France at a higher price. Although it is said that this is a political campaign fundraising, no one has so much money that the wind blows so much that it will burn.

This lot is now owned by buyer No. 3. Let us congratulate and praise his generosity and generosity.

clap clap -

Amidst the applause, Soros just nodded and smiled, and began to communicate with Buffett and Shen Jiannan. In his eyes, the only people present who could meet his eyes and have the right to talk to him were these two people in front of him.

The lot below is a beautiful and colorful sapphire from the United Kingdom. It has a history of more than 300 years and was once favored by Queen Victoria's audience. It is provided by Mr. Ray Dalio of the Bridgewater Foundation.

Papa papa—

The starting bid for this lot is $20,000. Each increment must be no less than $1,000.

.

This is a piece of armor from the Warring States Period in Japan. It has...

Papa papa—

The starting bid for this lot is $20,000. Each increment must be no less than $1,000.

One, two, three.

All kinds of weird auction items are dazzling. Some things are worth a lot and are sold at a very high price, while some things that look worthless are also sold at prices that outsiders may not understand.

Shen Jiannan felt very interesting.

Compared with the direct sponsorship of the later presidential campaign, the commercial bragging and interest involved in this kind of auction seem to be more subtle and beautiful.

At least, there is a layer of fig leaf instead of a rough upstart taste.

Below. It is a well-preserved pocket watch with fine workmanship, provided by Mr. Warren Buffett.

The starting bid is $1,000. Each increment must be no less than $1,000.

Fame and fortune have been inseparable since ancient times.

Even more so in investing.

Since Warren Buffett acquired Berkshire Hathaway and cut down the textile industry to take the financial route, this company, which has been devalued to seven dollars, has miraculously revived with new vitality, and its stock price has risen year after year at a geometric multiple.

Later, the company invested in various industries, and the stock price soared to US$347,000 unbelievably.

Although the company's stock price is still hovering at 8,000 US dollars, a profit of more than 1,000 times is already an unimaginable miracle for people of this era.

It can be said that Buffett has created a miracle of long-lasting investment history, and he is well-deserved as the fifth-generation stock god.

And all of this started when Buffett acquired GEICO with his unique vision.

The full name of GEICO is the Government Employees Insurance Company. It was founded in the 1940s. It is mainly engaged in the auto insurance business for government employees. After Graham's clever management, the Government Employees Insurance Company has developed rapidly. It has become the United States in more than ten years. The fifth largest auto insurance company, with a market value of more than one billion US dollars at its peak!

It’s just that during the oil crisis in 1976, Graham had long since left GEICO as the chairman and died that year. GEICO’s management made a series of mistakes in the assessment of insurance claims costs. As a result, the company's claim settlement costs increased significantly, and GEICO fell into a loss and was almost on the verge of bankruptcy.

It was at this time that Buffett took action, using Berkshire Hathaway to intervene to buy GEICO's stock from the market.

It took a full four years for Buffett to complete the act of swallowing an elephant, swallowing up 27.3% of GEICO's equity with a market value of less than 80 million for Berkshire Hathaway.

It is precisely because of this that Berkshire Hathaway has achieved a transformational expansion, and its market value has expanded several times.

Aside from Buffett borrowing his father's identity, this is undoubtedly a superhuman investment vision.

Therefore, when the host called out the pocket watch donated by Buffett, the guests around took a look at Buffett himself, and some couldn't wait to raise the auction cards in their hands.

Ten thousand. I'll offer ten thousand dollars.

A fat man with a big belly held up a sign and his neck turned red and shouted loudly, his agitated appearance seemed to be no one else.

But unfortunately, no one bought his account. Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man also raised the sign in his hand.

Twenty thousand. I'll give twenty thousand dollars.

Thirty thousand. Thirty thousand dollars from me.

.

Fifty thousand. Fifty thousand dollars.

Maybe it's because you want to get a taste of the stock god's good luck, or you want to taste the stock god's taste through the auction, or you want to take the opportunity to please the stock god to get some investment favor.

In just a few minutes, the ordinary pocket watch with a reserve price of one thousand dollars rose to fifty thousand dollars, making one wonder whether the pocket watch being auctioned was made of gold.

Listening to the price increase of tens of thousands of dollars each time, the fierce and tense competitive atmosphere made Luo Wayne clenched his fists, enduring the anxiety and irritability of his heart beating wildly, he came to this auction except feeling There's a bigger reason that it's in Apple's better interest to back Clinton for president.

That is, to get Warren Buffett's attention, to find a lifeline for Apple's near-bankruptcy finances.

It took a lot of effort for Wayne to inquire about the news that Buffett would come to this banquet from his friends. For this, Wayne made a lot of preparations, hoping to win the lot donated by Buffett in one fell swoop.

In this way, Buffett can pay attention to him, and he can also use this as a reason to try to visit Buffett.

But now, every price increase is tens of thousands of dollars. It seems that there are a lot of people with their own goals. According to this situation, the money I prepared may not be able to win the auction at all.

One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand dollars! Mr. Eighteen is offering one hundred thousand dollars.

One hundred twenty thousand.

The bidding went from 1,000 US dollars to 120,000 US dollars. As the host, Lian En was also very excited. She excitedly shouted into the venue:

Mr. Twenty-two offered $120,000. Is there any more?

It may be that the price has soared to this level, exceeding many people's expectations. After all, the premium of more than 100 times has a strong psychological level gap.

The number of bidders gradually decreased, and there were no new bidders for a few seconds.

This is undoubtedly a good opportunity.

Luo Wayne held back his excitement, quickly raised the sign in his hand, and shouted: Two hundred thousand dollars.

Oh, my God. Mr. Thirty-five offered two hundred thousand dollars. He's so generous.

Are there any other bids?

$200,000 for an ordinary pocket watch is an idiot by any measure.

Many people looked at Wayne, and had to press down on the idea of ​​continuing to bid. This amount of money is not a joke, it is enough to buy a luxury house and a few Mercedes-Benz cars.

It's not worth it just to get lucky, or to be glanced at by Buffett.

Two hundred thousand dollars a time.

On the stage, Lian En showed a beautiful smile, picked up the hammer and counted down.

Even if she is also a star, she is shocked by the prodigal behavior of buying an ordinary pocket watch for 200,000 yuan, only a fool will pay a higher price.

Warren. What do you think of this dinner tonight?

In an unobtrusive location, Soros smiled at Buffett, but the seemingly unconscious question contained too many meanings.

Buffett smiled without saying a word, and shook his head slightly, as if blaming Soros for his aggressiveness.

He knew very well that Soros actually said this to Shen Jiannan.

Of course, Shen Jiannan could hear it, but Soros's joking tone was not enough to make people angry. In this big dye vat full of intertwined interests, it would be really weird not to do something.

Two hundred thousand dollars twice.

Following Lian En's shout, Shen Jiannan raised the sign in his hand and shouted relaxedly: One million dollars.

Like a bad kid, Soros showed a successful smile on his face, and Buffett gently stroked his forehead, as if he was a little ashamed to be so lively at his age.

But for the guests around, they were shocked.

a million dollars.

This number made the noisy hall quiet, and everyone's eyes were on Shen Jiannan. Even Lian En, who was acting as the host, was frightened by this number and forgot to shout for a while.

One million dollars to buy an ordinary pocket watch, is this guy out of his mind?

Finally, someone came back to his senses.

Who is that? It seems to be Japanese.

I seem to have seen him somewhere, but I can't remember it at the moment.

He stood with Buffett and Soros, I think, I'm afraid it's not ordinary people.

Oh. God, isn't that the devil from the East. How could he be here.

.

One million dollars at a time, if I can win his favor, it will not be in vain tonight.

.

The United States is not Europe after all, and this era is not the era of Internet information explosion after all.

Looking at Shen Jiannan's young face, many people were guessing his identity.

The gentlemen were shocked by his lavish spending, the ladies were shocked by his youth and handsomeness, and the girls were shocked by the figure of one million dollars, wondering how to get close to this young and rich man. Regal.

And some people who have seen him in the newspapers are not sure if they are seeing the bastard who made Europe go crazy.

Of course, some people recognized Shen Jiannan's identity, but intimidated by the bodyguards standing around in that circle, no one was stupid enough to make any publicity.

But for Luo Wayne, everything is simply terrible.

This bastard who jumped out of nowhere kicked him into the ditch just when he thought everything was going well.

Damn bastard!

A million dollars once!
