At the same time that Shi Zhijian invited Soros to join Longteng Fund, Downey Rothschild in London, England, at the sincere invitation of "Stock God" Buffett, also took a plane to Wall Street in New York, USA, to contact Buffett's investment team.
On the one hand, Downey did this to express his trust in Buffett, and on the other hand, he also wanted to test the strength of Buffett's investment company in person.
In recent days, news of Shi Zhijian and Soros joining forces has spread a lot.
Downey looked calm and calm on the surface, but in fact he was a little anxious inside. After all, Soros specializes in hedge funds and is very good at leverage.
Even though Downey has 5 billion pounds, equivalent to more than 5 billion US dollars, which is more than double Shi Zhijian's more than 2 billion US dollars, Downey is keenly aware that leverage can be used in stock futures!
Under the influence of leverage, even a beggar with no money can give the emperor a try!
After Downey came up with this idea, he became so panicked that he couldn't help but fly from England to Wall Street in the United States.
When Downey arrived at Buffett's office on Wall Street, eight elite talents from Buffett's investment company were already sitting in the conference room.
Originally, everyone was still discussing in the conference room, studying what kind of person the famous Mr. Downey was. At this time, the female secretary helped open the door of the conference room and reminded everyone inside: "Mr. Downey is here!"
The conference room immediately returned to silence.
Donny, wearing a dark suit, a British top hat and holding a civilized stick, walked in from the door accompanied by Buffett.
Britain used to be the world's hegemon, known as the empire on which the sun never sets. Although it has declined now and the sun has set on the west, the Americans have become the hegemons of the world. However, the British gentlemen, especially the nobles, have never paid attention to the Americans and think that the United States
People are the result of the efforts of the British to exile themselves to America. They are human traffickers, bandits, and gold diggers who are born with impure blood. They are all low-level people.
The same goes for Downey. He raised his chin slightly and held a civilized stick in a very high posture.
An elite under Buffett named Arthur stood up. He graduated from Yale University in the United States with a major in finance. He interned at Buffett's company as soon as he graduated, and participated in Buffett's investments in Geek 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 step by step in the investment field.
For Buffett, Arthur is not only a smart kid, but also his assistant, confidant, and most proud apprentice.
After Arthur stood up, he took the initiative to say to Downey: "Hello, Mr. Downey, on behalf of Buffett Investment Company, I would like to warmly welcome you! Come on, let's all applaud together!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Applause broke out.
Downey nodded with a somewhat arrogant attitude, glanced at Arthur and others, and asked: "Everyone is here? Are you the elite that Mr. Buffett calls you?"
Arthur and others looked at each other, slightly dissatisfied with Downey's tone.
Arthur smiled and said: "We don't want to be elites. We are just employees of the company. We get paid to work and are responsible for the company's business!"
Donnie 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, but he still smiled and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Downey, I don't understand what you mean?"
Next to him, Buffett saw everything but did not say a word to stop him. For him, this was a good opportunity to train these subordinates and let them know that investment is not only a science, but also involves interpersonal relationships. It is not so
You are ruthless and need to be treated emotionally.
In addition, Buffett has always been optimistic about Arthur. For him, he has always hoped that Arthur can take charge of his own business. But in the investment field, taking charge of one's own business is not simply manipulating stocks. He also has to learn to talk and have good relationships with others.
Take Buffett himself for example. Two-thirds of the 365 days a year, he does not stay in the company and does not pay attention to the rise and fall of stocks. Instead, he drinks coffee and steaks with different people and participates in various ballroom dances.
Will wait.
Buffett’s ultimate investment tip is: “Only a person who can be as comfortable as a fish in water in communication can be as comfortable as a fish in investment!”
At this moment, Downey faced Arthur's rhetorical question and smiled contemptuously. He walked to the front and sat down in front of him. Then he took off his hat and handed it to the female secretary along with the civilized stick.
The female secretary took the things and bowed to leave. Downey just clicked his tongue: "I believe in Mr. Buffett, and I believe that you are all elites! But when I first saw you, I didn't feel that you looked elite at all! On the contrary, I believe you are all elites!"
It’s like arriving at a scrap collection station, full of garbage——”
"What did you say?"
"So insulting!"
Before Arthur could speak, everyone else couldn't sit still!
It’s okay for you, a British guy, to come to the United States to inspect our company, but to be so rude and hurtful with your words is intolerable!
Donnie looked at the indignant crowd and looked at Arthur again.
Arthur pressed his hand down, "Please keep quiet! Don't let Mr. Downey look down on us Americans as being rude!"
As soon as Arthur said these words, the entire conference room immediately fell silent. Even the colleagues who were angry now also sat down quietly and just stared at Donnie angrily.
Donnie nodded secretly. This Arthur was young and very aura. It seemed that Buffett had a very vicious vision.
"Mr. Downey, the seat you are sitting on now is the chairman of our Buffett Company conference room, and the people around you are all Buffett Company's best analysts and traders... If you go by what you just said, we are all in your eyes.
If you see garbage, then it is obvious that you are the biggest piece of garbage!"
There was a loud bang, and everyone on the scene burst into laughter.
No one thought that Arthur, a young man, would dare to say this in front of Donnie!
Buffett's expression suddenly changed!
Although he wanted to temper Arthur, he also knew that Downey was narrow-minded, and he might have completely angered him at this moment——
"Arthur, how can you say that? Why don't you apologize to Mr. Downey quickly!" Buffett yelled loudly. He knew that the louder and angrier he scolded, the smaller Downey's anger 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 shocked and delighted that Arthur dared to say this, clearly not taking Downey as a big boss seriously. What he was happy about was that a real financial master must have his own unique insights.
Easily influenced by others!
Others also noticed that something was wrong in the atmosphere at this time. Arthur's words had obviously deeply offended Mr. Downey!
Who is Downey?
The Rothschild family has great power in the United Kingdom, the United States, and even all of Europe. The only one who can compete with it is the Rockefeller family.
At this moment, even the person who was the most unhappy just now was silent, looking at Mr. Downey with some terror, waiting for the volcano to erupt.
Who knows——
"Well said! I appreciate you!" Downey was not angry, but laughed.
"Huh?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion.
Then Downey stood up from his seat, clapped his hands and said, "I have heard from Buffett that your company is full of talented people. I didn't believe it at first, but now I do!"
With that said, Downey 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 to look at the others and said: "As we all know, the target we are going to fight this time is Longteng Fund! The person we are going to fight is Soros, the Wall Street financial tycoon! Now we have an advantage in terms of funds, but these advantages will soon be accompanied by Soros.
Rose’s leverage makes it seem insignificant! But—”
Downey raised a finger and said solemnly: "But we still have an advantage, and that is shorting crude oil futures! As we all know, this is the general trend. Under the dual pressure of the United Kingdom and the United States, the Arabs have to give in to oil prices. When the price
It will definitely plummet!”
"So -" Donnie's eyes were blazing, "I hope to fight side by side with you and win this battle together!"
"I, Donny Rothschild! I swear to everyone here that if we win, you will all be great contributors, and I will already give you the biggest reward by then! And your Wall Street investment company will also be famous.
Raise the world!"
…
When Downey 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 went long crude oil futures!
In other words, these two major investment companies are at odds with each other and are really fighting hard!
And this time Shi Zhijian's companies raised more than 2 billion US dollars! Downey and Buffett raised more than 5 billion, which is more than twice that of Shi Zhijian!
Coupled with the current international situation, many people believe that Shi Zhijian will definitely lose this time!
"This Shi Zhijian is either a madman or a fool! He dares to go long in crude oil futures at this juncture. Isn't this going against the international situation?" Wall Street analysts pointed out.
"Since the oil price increased from 1.8 US dollars per barrel to 2.9 US dollars per barrel, it can be said that it has reached the pressure level and reached the bottleneck! Coupled with the release of various import policies by the United States, as well as the pressure on Arab countries from the United Kingdom, France and Germany, crude oil prices have only
If it will plummet, how can it rise?" This is a commentary published by the financial section of the New York Daily News.
In addition, European media such as the UK, France and Germany are also paying close attention to this financial war.
And many tycoons also gave their guesses. Among them, His Royal Highness Wales of the British Royal Family commented: "The outcome this time is unpredictable, but it is clear that Mr. Downey and Mr. Buffett have the upper hand!"
The three German giants also judged this, believing that Shi Zhijian’s chance of winning this time is less than 20%! Or even lower!
Suddenly, the whole of Europe and the United States was attracted by this officially launched financial war.
As a mysterious Hong Kong tycoon, Shi Zhijian's English name "Pete Kin" once again occupies the financial section of newspapers in various countries. However, in these newspapers, it is Soros and Buffett who are more prominent!
Soros vs. Buffett!
This gimmick alone is enough to get people's blood pumping!
What's more, Soros and Buffett are both working on Wall Street, and the two are often compared. Taking into account various factors, Buffett, the stock god, has the upper hand!
For countless financial people and countless European and American stock investors, Buffett is the undefeated myth in their minds!
As for Soros, he will definitely fail this time!
Faced with being collectively criticized, Soros, whose willpower has always been stronger than steel, can no longer hold back.
He began to have some doubts about Shi Zhijian's long plan——
At this moment, Soros is pacing back and forth in the office, with cigarette butts thrown at his feet!
His confidants and subordinates looked at him, knowing clearly what he was worried about.
Suddenly, Soros stopped, looked up at his confidants and said, "Do you think I am stupid, or is Mr. Shi stupid?"
"Huh? This--" The subordinate was stunned for a moment.
Soros stretched out his finger and tapped his head: "Maybe I am the one who is really stupid! I knew that this battle was bound to be lost, and I boarded his pirate ship! God, how can I do long crude oil in this situation?"
After Soros finished speaking, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back, overlooking Wall Street below: "I wonder if this distinguished Mr. Shi was kicked in the head by a donkey?!"
…
"Ah sneeze!"
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 August and September, the weather is either very hot or very cold. The most important thing is that many places in the United States rarely install air conditioners. At most, they only have those kind of fans, which are kept in big hotels.
shouted from the window.
Shi Zhijian was very unaccustomed to the American lifestyle, especially at this moment. It was drizzling in the sky. Although Ax Jun held an umbrella for him, the drizzle still got into his neck from time to time, making him feel very uncomfortable.
Since the heavy rain a few days ago, it has been drizzling in New York. When I stayed in the hotel, I felt that the entire bedroom was damp. When I walked on the street, I felt that everything was so cold.
Yan Xiong was wearing a thick black windbreaker and holding a folding umbrella. When he saw Shi Zhijian sneezing, he asked with concern: "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 wanted to go visit him!"
Yan Xiong nodded and hurriedly ran over to open the rented Lincoln car. Shi Zhijian bent down and got into the car. Ax Jun then walked to the front and folded his umbrella to act as the driver.
Yan Xiong waited for Shi Zhijian to get in the car, and then Pidian followed him in the car, and then shouted to Ax Jun: "Ajun, do you know Mr. Rockefeller's mansion? If you don't know, just ask me, don't be embarrassed!"
Not to mention, although Ax Jun has been studying foreign language hard during this period, he can say a few words such as "Three grams of medicine to feed your mother", "What a big fat belly", "Love tiger oil" and other basic words, but what about street signs?
