It was the first time that Donny Rothschild came to this cathedral. As a Jew, it was also the first time for him to pray here, praying to their only God, God!
The whole cathedral was empty, except for him, there was no one else.
Downey closed his eyes devoutly, clasped his hands, and prayed to the cross representing God.
This time in the financial war, Downey and his Rothschild family suffered a disastrous defeat!
The financial loss alone is as high as six billion US dollars!
Such a huge number, even if the Rothschild family is as rich as the country, it will not be able to bear it for a while.
In particular, many power contenders in the Rothschild family who have no good impressions of Downey are even more ready to impeach Downey, which would be detrimental to his leadership of Roche, and are preparing to take away his position as head of the family.
It can be said that Downey is suffering from internal and external troubles now. Even if he was arrogant before and never prayed to God, this time he is powerless and has to come to church to pray.
Bang bang bang!!!
Footsteps sounded.
A person gently sat down next to him.
Donnie closed his eyes, and his nose was filled with the smell of men's perfume. He was very familiar with this smell, Davidoff brand.
Downey didn't need to open his eyes to know who was coming, because only his most valued opponent, who was also the winner this time, liked to use that brand of perfume.
"How are you doing these days? I heard that your Luo family will hold a collective meeting in the next few days, and Luo family bosses from all over the world will gather in the United States. Are you okay?"
Shi Zhijian sat on the bench next to Downey and said to Downey who was praying across a seat.
Downey loosened his hands on his chest, opened his eyes and made a sign of the cross to God, and then said to Shi Zhijian: "Seeing me here praying for God's help so that I can pass the family meeting smoothly, you will feel
Very happy?"
"Originally, Mr. Downey, we can actually be friends. All we need is that you lower your profile. But you are too arrogant and think you are great. You oppose me everywhere, thinking that you rely on your family's amazing strength.
, and your strategizing can crush a little guy like me to death, but the result..." Shi Zhijian leaned on the bench, put one hand on the back of the bench, stared at Downey and said slowly.
Donnie continued on his behalf: "The result is that I lost miserably. I was completely defeated! Are you here to watch jokes or make sarcastic remarks? No matter what, I will listen!"
"I like to be practical, I don't like to make sarcastic remarks, and I don't like to see other people's jokes." Shi Zhijian took out a cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth. He completely ignored the church's rule against smoking and lit it with a zippo.
Took a sip.
When Tang Ni saw Shi Zhijian smoking, he couldn't help but frown.
Shi Zhijian asked, "Would you like one too?" He took out the cigarette box.
"God will punish you!" Donnie said.
Shi Zhijian shrugged and put the cigarette back into his arms: "God is very tolerant. He can even forgive so many serious sinners, so why would he care about my little offense?"
"You never admit defeat, whether it's in the stock market, business, or bickering." Downey laughed at himself, then looked at the towering cross in front of him and said, "I don't know if God will forgive you.
, I only know that I am doomed this time!"
"Maybe we can cooperate! If you are willing?" Shi Zhijian looked at Downey with a cigarette in his mouth: "You also know that I have made five billion U.S. dollars. I am going to invest this much money in your Tang's financial company. What do you think?
how?"
"What?" Downey was shocked and stared at Shi Zhijian, "What do you mean? You took so much money from me and you want it back?"
"Haha, first of all, please correct your wording. I am not robbing, but winning! Secondly, I am not returning it to you but investing! To be precise, I am going to let you exchange for Tang's shares!"
"This is absolutely impossible!" Downey pointed at Shi Zhijian's nose, "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If our Tang Corporation shares fall into your hands, what right do I have to say? And Tang Corporation Financial
Our Rothschild family's largest investment company in the world - it is equivalent to the core business of the family, how can we lose our equity?!"
"Now, I just made a kind-hearted suggestion to help you get through this difficulty! If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who would know that those shares are mine?" Shi Zhijian smiled at Tangny, stood up and said, "Yes.
With the money, you can give an explanation to those Luo family bosses and stop their mouths so that they cannot impeach you. You can continue to sit back and relax as the head of Luo family until you have enough funds on hand.
, you can buy the equity back when the time comes! I don’t mind!”
"You don't mind? Maybe you will play some tricks when the time comes, and you won't let go until you die!"
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "Think of good intentions as donkey liver and lungs! In this case, I won't say more. You should think about it carefully. After all, there are still a few days!"
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he nodded and was about to walk outside the church. Suddenly he remembered something and turned to Donnie and said: "By the way, I almost have something big to tell you. I'm going to hold a Longteng Fund dividend meeting tomorrow. If you have any
If you are interested, you can also come and participate! At the same time, share your experience of this defeat!"
Downey sat on the bench, looked at the back of Shi Zhijian who left again and said angrily: "Do you think I dare not? Do you think I am hiding here and dare not see people? No, I am Downey! I am the great Tang
Ni-Rothschild!”
Shi Zhijian ignored him and left the church.
Downey felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, and he leaned on the bench all of a sudden, his eyes dim, and the angry look just now was replaced by a depressed look!
Candles in the surrounding churches were slowly lit, and people praying came in one after another.
Downey paid no attention to his surroundings.
All he has eyes for is the cross in front of him!
God can't save him, who can save him?
Do we really want to be impeached by those old guys?
Do you really want to give up your seat of power?
Ambition! Desire!
Torture him!
…
New York, Wall Street——
Buffett Investment Company.
"I'm sorry, our boss said that we are short of money recently and have no plans to invest in stocks for the time being. We appreciate your kindness!"
Before Buffett could finish speaking, the other person on the phone hung up.
Buffett was holding the phone in his hand, looking a little embarrassed and even a little disappointed!
This is already the one hundred and eighty-seventh person to hang up on him.
For Buffett, the investment company's losses this time were really serious. Even if he stopped the losses in time, the lost money still put the entire company in danger. In order to restore the company's credibility, Buffett had to raise funds again to prepare for a value investment.
However, this bloody loss made countless investors see his failure, and many old acquaintances were unwilling to invest in him again.
Helpless, Buffett had no choice but to beg his grandfather to sue his grandma, and took the initiative to call the investment experts to beg him, and promised that he would make a profit soon, and he would never lose this time.
It's a pity that no one is willing to invest in him despite his humble begging.
Buffett's investment company is now "in name only"!
Buffett faced the reality, put down the phone, and sat down on the boss's chair. He fell into decadence, pinched his brows with his hands, and thought about whether to continue making phone calls——
Maybe you can meet someone who is willing to invest?
Think about the past, when he was famous, countless people came to him and asked him to give him money to help invest. Buffett was also picky, not wanting those with little money, not wanting those he didn't know or familiar with - he wanted to create a stock god.
High style!
But now, the entire company is depleted and is about to close down!
With such a sharp contrast, no matter how strong Buffett's heart is, he still can't stand it!
Boom, boom, boom!
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Buffett said weakly.
Arthur, a close subordinate, opened the door and came in. He hesitated and said, "Sir, someone is looking for you!"
"Who? Debt collector?" Buffett was shocked.
"No, it's..." Arthur hesitated and said, "It's Shi Zhijian!"
"Ah, it's him?" Buffett was stunned. "What does he want from me?"
Before Buffett could finish speaking, he heard a voice saying: "What, Mr. Buffett, don't you welcome me?"
While talking, Shi Zhijian had already walked in.
"Uh, how could it be? I'm a visitor from afar, Arthur, bring me two cups of coffee!"
"No need!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile, "I'm not here to drink coffee!"
As he spoke, Shi Zhijian took out a check from his arms and handed it to Buffett: "Take this 50 million check!"
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Shi Zhijian shrugged: "I know your company has suffered a lot this time and needs money everywhere. My 50 million rights should be regarded as investing in your company. You can use it as you like!"
Buffett was stunned and looked at Shi Zhijian in disbelief.
Even Arthur next to him was in a daze and couldn't believe his eyes.
"Don't doubt it, this is a Chase cashier's check. If you don't believe it, you can call and ask now."
Buffett glanced at the check in his hand to see what he was eating. He could tell at a glance whether it was real or fake. Besides, there was no need for Shi Zhijian to trick him with a fake check.
"Thank you Mr. Shi for your kindness, but I don't understand..."
"You don't need to know too much, you just need to know a little!" Shi Zhijian smiled at Buffett, "I want to make friends with you!"
"Making friends?"
"Yes!" Shi Zhijian looked at Buffett with his hands behind his back and said: "You are a respectable investor, and I also appreciate your investment techniques..."
Buffett thought that Shi Zhijian was making fun of himself by saying this, and his face turned ugly, "So what if I am more powerful? I still haven't lost to you?"
"That's wrong! The financial war is like the ancient wars where you lose and win. As long as your morale remains, you can win in the future! After all, there are no invincible generals in the world. People have to experience wins and losses in order to grow better!"
"Educated!" Seeing that Shi Zhijian was not deliberately sarcastic, Buffett felt better.
Shi Zhijian continued: "Besides, people often say that there are no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests! Maybe we can join forces to do something big in the future, if you are willing, Mr. Buffett -"
After hearing this, Buffett smiled at Shi Zhijian: "As long as you don't mind it, I will accept your money and would rather be friends with you!"
As an investor and financial tycoon, Buffett still has a good eye for assessing situations. What's more, this time Shi Zhijian came to him on his own initiative and offered him a "lavish gift" to be friends with him. Of course, he had to go down the road and save himself first.
Let’s talk about the company!
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian discussed some other things with Buffett and told Buffett that the Longteng Fund would hold a dividend conference tomorrow. If you are interested, you can come and participate.
During the battle, everyone is the enemy, and after the battle, of course, we must shake hands and make peace.
After Shi Zhijian finished speaking, he stood up and left.
After Shi Zhijian left, Buffett looked at Shi Zhijian's back and said to his confidant Arthur: "This Shi Zhijian is really a hero!"
When Shi Zhijian left Buffett's investment company, he was full of calculations along the way.
In his opinion, Buffett and Soros were in good company for a while.
But in terms of personality charm, Shi Zhijian admires Buffett more. Soros, a cold-blooded crocodile, cannot be fed well enough, nor can he be fed well! What's more, this guy has a natural dislike for Chinese people! Even if Shi Zhijian tries to win over him, it might not be possible.
I will rebel in the future!
In contrast, Shi Zhijian is more optimistic about Buffett. Especially this time in the fierce battle with Buffett, Buffett can bravely ignore Downey's objections and stop losses in time, and then invest again when crude oil futures rise to go long in order to make profits and reduce losses.
Overall loss, this series of operations is extremely exciting!
Let me ask——
Such a talent,
How could Shi Zhijian let it go?!
…
The next day——
The Longteng Fund Dividend Sharing Conference was held at the New York Hilton Hotel.
On the day of the event, the entire Hilton Hotel was crowded with luxury cars and people.
For this reason, New York Mayor Mr. Henry specially approved the blocking of eight roads in the Hilton Hotel to make way for the distinguished guests who came to attend the Fund Conference.
As the chief of the New York Police Department, Grant was "ordered in the face of danger" and dispatched 300 traffic police units to conduct a police cordon blockade, and dispatched 200 SWAT teams to station near the Hilton Hotel to observe any suspicious movements.
In short, the city government and the police department have turned a fund dividend meeting into a meeting of heads of state!
In this regard, the American people in New York, who have always enjoyed democracy and freedom, cursed one after another, calling the New York government a cold-blooded dictatorship, and calling Longteng Fund and its investors vampire capitalists!
Those noble investors ignored this! It's understandable that the little bastards would complain, so why bother with them.
At the entrance of the Hilton Hotel, Mayor Henry was wearing a brand new custom-made suit, his hair was meticulously combed, and he was helping to greet the guests attending the meeting.
Director Grant stood next to him, also in a suit and tie. Although his short and chubby figure was not as tall and powerful as Mayor Henry, he still looked particularly smart and capable.
