Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Chapter 1269 1269 [Confrontation! 】

At the same time when Shi Zhijian invited Soros to join Longteng Fund, in London, England, Donny Rothschild, at the sincere invitation of "stock god" Buffett, also flew to Wall Street in New York, USA, to contact Buffett's investment team.

The reason why Downey did this was to express his trust in Buffett on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test the strength of Buffett's investment company in person.

In recent days, the news that Shi Zhijian and Soros joined forces has spread a lot.

On the surface, Downey is calm and calm, but in fact he is also a little anxious. The shadow of his famous tree, after all, Soros specializes in hedge funds and is very good at leverage.

Even though Downey has five billion pounds, equivalent to more than five billion U.S. dollars, it is more than double Shi Zhijian's two billion U.S. dollars, but Downey is keenly aware that stock futures can be leveraged!

Under the action of leverage, even a beggar without a penny can fight the emperor!

After Downey had this idea, he panicked and couldn't help but fly from England to Wall Street in the United States this time.

When Downey came to Buffett's office on Wall Street, there were already eight elite talents from Buffett's investment company sitting in the conference room.

Originally, everyone was still discussing in the conference room, trying to figure out what kind of character the famous Mr. Downey was. At this time, the female secretary helped to open the door of the conference room and reminded everyone inside: "Mr. Downey is here!" The meeting room immediately returned to silence.

Donnie was wearing a dark suit, a British top hat, and holding a civilized stick. He walked in from the door accompanied by Buffett.

The United Kingdom used to be the hegemon of the world, known as the empire on which the sun never sets. Although it has now declined and the sun has set, it has been replaced by the American hegemony, but the British gentlemen, especially the nobles, have never put the Americans in their eyes. People are the efforts of the British exiled to America, human traffickers, robbers, gold diggers, born with impure blood, all of them are low-level people.

The same is true for Downey. He raised his chin slightly and held a civilized stick in his posture.

One of Buffett's elites named Arthur stood up. He graduated from Yale University with a major in finance. As soon as he graduated, he worked as an intern at Buffett's company and participated in Buffett's investment in Gaek Insurance, Lockwood Company, and Dempster Agricultural Machinery Manufacturing Company. , and a classic case of investing in Disney.

For Arthur, Buffett is equivalent to his teacher, leading him to grow step by step in the investment field.

For Buffett, Arthur is not only a smart boy, but also his assistant, confidant, and most proud apprentice.

After standing up, Arthur took the initiative to say to Downey: "Hi, Mr. Downey, on behalf of Buffett Investment Company, I would like to warmly welcome you! Come on, let's applaud together!"

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

applause.

Downey nodded arrogantly, glanced at Arthur and the others, and asked, "Everyone here? Are you the elite that Mr. Buffett said?"

Arthur and the others glanced at each other, slightly dissatisfied with Downey's tone.

Arthur laughed and said: "Elite dare not be, we are just the staff of the company, get paid to do things, and be responsible for the company's business!"

Downey sneered, raised his civilized stick and knocked on the table, "Should I call your answer modest, or lack of confidence?"

Arthur's face changed slightly, and he still smiled and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Downey, I don't understand what you mean by that?"

Buffett next to him saw everything in his eyes but did not say anything to stop him. For him, this was a good opportunity to train his subordinates and let them know that investing is not only a science, but also involves interpersonal relationships. Ruthless and ruthless, you also need to be treated emotionally.

In addition, Buffett has always been optimistic about Arthur. For him, he has always hoped that Arthur can take over his own role. However, the so-called independent role in the investment field is not simply manipulating stocks. Take Buffett himself as an example, two-thirds of the 365 days a year, he does not stay in the company, does not pay attention to the ups and downs of those stocks, but drinks coffee and steaks with different people, and participates in various ballroom dancing will wait.

Buffett's ultimate investment trick is: "A person who can be like a fish in water in communication can be like a fish in water in investment!"

At this moment, facing Arthur's rhetorical question, Downey smiled contemptuously, walked to the front and sat down with the big horse golden knife, then took off his hat, and handed it to the female secretary together with the civilized stick.

The female secretary took the things, bowed and left, and Downey clicked his tongue: "I believe in Mr. Buffett, I believe that you are all elites! But when I first saw you, I didn't feel that you were elites at all! On the contrary It's like going to a waste collection station, full of garbage-"

"What did you say?"

"Too insulting!"

Before Arthur could speak, the others couldn't sit still!

It's fine that you, a Brit, come to our US to inspect the company, but you are so rude and hurt people with your words, which is unbearable!

Donnie looked at the righteous indignation filling everyone, and looked at Arthur again.

Arthur pressed down with his hand, "Please keep quiet! Don't let Mr. Downey look down on us Americans for being impolite!"

As soon as Arthur spoke these words, the entire conference room immediately fell silent. Now that the colleague who was getting angry again sat down quietly at the moment, he just stared at Downey angrily.

Downey nodded secretly. This Arthur is young and has quite the aura. It seems that Buffett's eyes are quite poisonous.

"Mr. Downey, the seat you are sitting in is the chairman of the conference room of Buffett Company, and the people around you are all the best analysts and traders in Buffett Company... If you follow what you just said, we are all what you see If you've got all the trash, then obviously, you're the biggest pile!"

With a bang, everyone at the scene burst into laughter.

No one thought that Arthur, a young man, would dare to say such a thing in front of Downey!

Buffett's face suddenly changed!

Although he really wanted to temper Arthur, he also knew that Downey was narrow-minded, and he might have completely angered Arthur at this moment——

"Arthur, how can you say that? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mr. Downey!" Buffett yelled loudly. He knew that the louder he yelled and the angrier he was, the less angry Downey would be.

"Sorry, boss! I don't think I said anything wrong, yes! As you can see, I just told some facts!"

"You—" Buffett was so surprised and delighted that Arthur still dared to say that, obviously he didn't pay attention to Downey, a big boss, and he was happy that a real financial expert should have his own unique insights, which is not easy Be swayed!

At this time, the others also noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Arthur's words had obviously offended Mr. Downey deeply!

Who is Downey?

The boss of the Rothschild family has great power in Britain, the United States, and even the whole of Europe. The only one who can compete with it is the Rockefeller family.

At this moment, even the most annoyed people were silent, looking at Mr. Downey in horror, waiting for the volcano to erupt.

Who knows—

"Well said! I appreciate you!" Donnie laughed instead of getting angry.

"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Then Donnie stood up from his seat, clapped his hands and said, "I heard from Buffett that your company has a lot of talents. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it!"

With that said, Donnie walked up to Arthur, looked into Arthur's eyes and said, "Your eyes are very bright, and you are unstoppable in the face of my pressure. You are indeed a talent!"

Then he turned and looked at the others and said, "As we all know, the target of our decisive battle this time is Longteng Fund! The decisive battle is Soros, the Wall Street financial giant! Now we have an advantage in capital, but soon these advantages will be accompanied by Soros. Ross's leverage is insignificant! But—"

Downey raised a finger and said solemnly: "But we still have an advantage, that is, shorting crude oil futures! As we all know, this is the general trend. The Arabs have to succumb to the double pressure of the United Kingdom and the United States on oil prices. It will definitely plummet!"

"So—" Downey's eyes were burning, "I hope to fight side by side with you and win this battle together!"

"I, Donny Rothschild! I swear to everyone here, if we win, you will all be great contributors, and I will give you the biggest reward by then! And your Wall Street investment company will also be named Raise the world!"

…

When Donny Rothschild inspected Buffett's investment company, the outside world was already full of curiosity about this unprecedented financial war.

According to reliable sources, Buffett's investment company is about to short crude oil futures!

In turn, Shi Zhijian's Longteng Fund is long on crude oil futures!

In other words, the two major investment companies are fighting against each other, and they are really fighting hard!

And this time Shi Zhijian's company raised more than two billion US dollars! Downey and Buffett raised more than 5 billion, more than twice that of Shi Zhijian!

Coupled with the previous international situation, many people think that Shi Zhijian will lose this time!

"This Shi Zhijian is either a lunatic or a fool! He dares to go long on crude oil futures at this juncture. Isn't this against the international situation?" Wall Street analysts pointed out.

"Since the price of oil has risen from 1.8 US dollars a barrel to 2.9 a barrel, it can be said that it has reached the pressure level and reached the bottleneck! Coupled with the release of various import policies in the United States, as well as the pressure from the United Kingdom, France and Germany on Arab countries, the price of crude oil has only reached a certain level. It will plummet, how can it rise?" This is a commentary article published by the financial section of the "New York Daily" in the United States.

In addition, European media such as Britain, France and Germany also paid close attention to this financial war.

And many tycoons also gave their guesses. Among them, His Royal Highness Wells commented: "This time the outcome is hard to predict, but it is clear that Mr. Downey and Mr. Buffett have the upper hand!"

The Big Three in Germany also judged this, and believed that Shi Zhijian's chance of winning this time was less than 20%! Even lower!

All of a sudden, the entire Europe and the United States were attracted by this officially opened financial war.

As a mysterious Hong Kong tycoon, Shi Zhijian's English name "Peter Jian" once again occupied the financial section of newspapers in various countries, but in these newspapers, it was Soros and Buffett who were more in the limelight!

Soros vs. Buffett!

This gimmick alone is enough to make people's blood rush!

What's more, Soros and Buffett are both struggling on Wall Street, and the two are often compared. Combining various factors, Buffett, the stock god, has the upper hand!

For countless financial professionals and European and American stockholders, Buffett is the undefeated myth in their minds!

As for Soros, this time he will definitely fail!

Faced with being bad-mouthed by others, Soros, who has always had more willpower than steel, couldn't bear it anymore.

He began to doubt Shi Zhijian's long-term plan——

At this moment, Soros was pacing back and forth in the office, throwing cigarette butts under his feet!

His confidantes and others looked at him, and they knew in their hearts what he was anxious about.

Suddenly, Soros stopped in his tracks, looked up at his confidant and said, "Do you think I'm stupid, or that Mr. Shi is stupid?"

"Eh? This—" The subordinate was taken aback.

Soros stretched out his fingers and tapped his head: "Maybe I am the one who is really stupid! I knew that this battle would be lost, and I even got on his thief ship! God, how can we be long on crude oil in this situation?"

After Soros finished speaking, he walked towards the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back, overlooking the Wall Street below: "I really don't know if this honorable Mr. Shi was kicked in the head by a donkey?!"

…

"Ah Choo!"

Shi Zhijian took out his handkerchief and rubbed his nose. He hated the weather in New York.

The United States is not as beautiful as he imagined, especially in the season of August and September, the weather is either extremely hot or extremely cold. The most important thing is that many places in the United States rarely install air conditioners. The windows are screaming.

Shi Zhijian is very unaccustomed to this kind of extreme life of Yankees, especially at this moment, the sky is drizzling, although Axe Jun helps him hold an umbrella, but the drizzle still gets into his neck from time to time~www.readwn.com~ Let him Feeling very uncomfortable.

Since the torrential rain a few days ago, New York has been drizzled. When staying in a hotel, the whole bedroom feels damp, and when walking on the street, everything feels so gloomy and cold.

Yan Xiong was wearing a thick black windbreaker and also holding a folding umbrella. Seeing Shi Zhijian sneezing, he asked concerned: "Boss, do you have a cold? Do you want to see a doctor first?"

Shi Zhijian waved his hand: "No, let's drive to Mr. Rockefeller's mansion first. I called him today and told him that I want to visit him!"

Yan Xiong nodded, and trotted over to open the rented Lincoln car. Shi Zhijian bent over to get in the car, and Fu Toujun went to the front and put away his umbrella to act as the driver.

Yan Xiong waited for Shi Zhijian to get into the car, and Pidian followed him into the car, and then yelled at Fu Toujun: "Ah Jun, do you know Mr. Rockefeller's mansion? If you don't know, just ask me, don't be shy!"

Not to mention, although Fu Toujun has worked hard to learn foreign language during this time, he can say a few words such as "feed your mother with three grams of medicine", "you have a big fat belly", "love tiger oil", etc., but what about the street signs? Yes, but he couldn't understand it.
