The joys and sorrows of people are not connected to each other.
As a business elite, Cantor Willis is also a typical egoist.
He said God bless him, but in fact he just wanted Su Yehao to buy private equity funds.
A transaction volume of 100 million US dollars can almost earn him a bonus of 1 million US dollars, which in his opinion is much more important than other things.
Today is Saturday.
Su Yehao felt that there was still time to prepare, and Cantor Willis and his colleagues thought so too.
Just twenty minutes ago, Goldman Sachs had just made the decision to secretly launch a special private equity fund, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to make quick money and achieve some performance through the channels of its subsidiaries.
Those senior partners who have resources in their hands are already making promotional calls all over the world, looking for big clients who are interested in the "new outlet".
Just now, Cantor Willis went around and successfully obtained more than 70 million US dollars.
Although tonight's party was nominally canceled, most of the guests still chose to attend, and there were many representatives of multinational companies present.
For example, a Boeing board member agreed to invest US$20 million in Goldman Sachs' private equity fund. At this moment, the Boeing executive was communicating with representatives of mainland airlines, holding a Boeing 737 aircraft model in his hand, smiling from ear to ear.
.
Boeing not only sells aircraft, but is also one of the large arms manufacturers. Even if the aviation industry is affected in the short term, Boeing's current orders alone can last for a long time, and it doesn't matter to shareholders at all.
At this moment.
Taking a glass of champagne, Su Yehao continued to ask: "So... do the companies in the Twin Towers often work overtime on Saturdays?"
Cantor Willis was very interested in seeing him and explained seriously:
"The income in the financial industry in New York is very high, and working overtime is completely normal. Someone has calculated that the average working hours per week is more than 80 hours, and there are many unlucky people who work more than 100 hours. It may not be busy during work.
, but financial businesses are spread all over the world, and there are always people who stay in the company to deal with problems, so even if it is Saturday, there should be many unlucky guys in the Twin Towers. I hope they can escape through the life-saving passage in time."
Su Yehao, who didn't know much about Wall Street's overtime culture, thought at this moment that the employees under him were actually more comfortable than Wall Street employees. Although departments such as the assistant office occasionally worked overtime, they never worked at least 80 hours a week.
exaggerate.
Thinking about it this way, there should be many more people trapped in the World Trade Center in New York than expected.
A middle-aged white woman who was wearing a red skirt today and who must have learned about the mainland's cultural customs in advance came over and interjected:
"Are you talking about that thing in New York? It's really scary. I have friends who work there. It seems that many firefighters failed to evacuate in time before the building collapsed."
Cantor Willis shrugged and said: "Looking at its condition, it's not serious. Who would have thought that the building would collapse."
This middle-aged white woman came mainly for Su Yehao, stretched out her hand and said with a smile:
"Hello, you can call me Catherine, Catherine Morrow. eBay's director of operations, Su, you have done an outstanding job in the mainland market. Our two companies may have opportunities to cooperate."
"eBay is a great company, and I have always wanted the payment tool PayPal to cooperate with you."
Su Yehao's eyes flashed.
eBay's business model is very similar to Dibao's personal business. Since they attended tonight's event, it shows that they are very optimistic about the mainland market.
In an instant.
Su Yehao even thought that he must give Boss Ma more money next, stop wasting time on logistics business for the time being, and strive to win the person-to-person and business-to-person business as soon as possible.
Although he does not believe that eBay has the strength to compete with itself in the mainland market, it has only had a small fight with Amazon before. It would be quite a headache if it focuses on expanding overseas markets on the mainland.
Catherine Moreau obviously didn't think too much. At this moment, she just wanted to get close. She smiled brightly and said:
"The CEO of Paypal is called Musk, right? He is a very young guy. I have met him in the company. His suggestion about fee sharing is very attractive, but our CEO doesn't want to be so important for the time being.
The payment process is left to a third-party company.”
"It's just one of the payment methods to meet the needs of customers. Elon Musk and I have no idea of completely monopolizing eBay's payment process."
After Su Yehao finished speaking, he was worried that Catherine Moreau would make a fuss about this matter and mention business in the mainland in an attempt to achieve some exchange of benefits.
Therefore, he took the initiative and said to Cantor:
"In terms of investment banking business, my 5S International Finance Company and Goldman Sachs can also carry out more cooperation. Regarding private equity funds, can we find a place to talk?"
Hearing this, Cantor suddenly became excited, feeling like millions of dollars in commissions were waving to him crazily.
He immediately replied:
"No problem, just go to the lounge next to it. I just received a text message that Washington has held a press conference. I feel that this time it will have a terrible impact..."
Seeing Su Yehao smile at herself and leave directly with Cantor, Catherine Moreau didn't think anything was wrong.
Although there are many guests present, Su Yehao is still the richest one, so he will inevitably be busy.
5S Asset Management Company also sells funds.
The current channels and resources are far behind those of Goldman Sachs Group.
Listening to Cantor's introduction, it also means to learn from it and obtain Goldman Sachs information for free.
After the two sides chatted briefly, Su Yehao felt that the other party was not much smarter than him. He was just bullish on arms, bullish on the U.S. dollar, and bearish on the stock market, etc.
Since Goldman Sachs was willing to do it for him and came to him, he quickly decided to purchase a private equity fund worth US$300 million through a shell company registered in the Cayman Islands, and only agreed to close the management for one quarter.
The custody commission and handling fee were a little high, but Su Yehao still bought it, and also entrusted Goldman Sachs to use 200 million U.S. dollars to increase leverage and be long on gold futures. The only requirement was that all information should be kept confidential, and nothing related to him should appear.
name.
This is undoubtedly a huge order.
Cantor was so excited, thinking that it was indeed easy to make money from the super rich.
Any leakage would be enough for him to buy a nice apartment in Manhattan, which is equivalent to his two years of income at Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is a big company. Although it does not have a good reputation in the industry in order to gain profits, it is relatively secure in terms of customer privacy.
Of course, Cantor knew what Su Yehao was worried about. In fact, he was also afraid that other colleagues would steal his big clients, so he patted his chest and promised to block all customer information.
…
After all, the mainland successfully submitted the documents.
Except in mainland China, the Twin Towers stole the headlines.
Su Yehao rested for one night in Qatar and was not in a hurry to go home the next day. He continued to help the mainland to attract some investment projects. By the way, he took half a day to walk around in the desert of Qatar with his father.
Each exchange has different opening hours.
When the new week began, the Nikkei Index fell first, followed closely by the Big A and Hang Seng Index. The Shanghai Composite Index fell by more than three points, and countless companies fell directly to their limit.
Is this still something to consider?
This rare opportunity to buy at the bottom is almost a gift of money to Su Yehao.
When the panic ends and the good news about joining the WTO is gradually released, a group of high-quality companies will most likely rise sharply.
In addition to Goldman Sachs, Su Yehao's own team is also frantically increasing leverage and buying a large number of gold futures contracts on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. The increase that day quickly rose from 0.4% to 2.2%, and is still slowly appreciating.
There is also a team responsible for shorting the Nikkei and Hang Seng Index.
Although many people saw the opportunity, their vision was not as long-term as Su Yehao's. They only regarded it as a short-term shock and rushed to get a vote and run away. Su Yehao desperately increased his positions and hoarded a large number of gold futures contracts, only getting in but not getting out.
The effects of speculation are immediate.
In just half a day, the book profit exceeded 350 million Hong Kong dollars. When the Tokyo Commodity Exchange closed at noon, the price of gold in Japan rose by more than three points...
