Vol 6 Chapter 61: No way to survive

Sometimes when I think about it, Antonio feels that he has been given up by the dog.
　　 I managed to survive the Cold War and the end of the Gulf War, but I encountered the economic crisis brought about by the turbulent financial distance in Europe. The market value of the company has fallen below the issue price, and the financial situation is getting worse.
　　 He understood it.
　　 Let the Republican gang of oil tycoons and arms dealers continue, Qualcomm simply cannot develop normally. It must support the Democratic Party in order to bring development opportunities to technology companies.
　　 In order to participate in this banquet, Antonio personally paid a full 200,000 US dollars to buy this porcelain from a French antique dealer.
　　 Don’t think that two hundred thousand dollars is a small amount of money.
　　 You know, Antonio’s annual salary is only $100,000.
　　 "The base price of this lot is 10,000 U.S. dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 U.S. dollars per bid. Now, the auction begins.
　　 "Ten thousand and five thousand!"
　　 "206,000!"
　　 "......"
　　 "Five thousand..."
　　 "......"
　　 "Eighty five thousand, is there any high?"
　　 "......"
　　 "One hundred thousand dollars."
　　 Under the auspices of Diane Lane, the surrounding guests held up the signs they had obtained in advance to increase the price of the auction items contributed by Antonio.
　　 It's just obvious that when the price soared to 100,000 US dollars, the bidding atmosphere suddenly stopped.
　　 "Is there any higher one hundred thousand dollars."
　　 "One hundred thousand dollars at a time."
　　 Shen Jiannan followed in Soros's footsteps and took over the brand from the waiter, watching this hypocritical auction with interest.
　　 Soon, the two arrived in a crowd that seemed to be a small circle. An old man with gold-rimmed glasses turned around and gave Shen Jiannan a hearty smile, and greeted Soros.
　　 "Hi. George. Is this your friend?"
　　 "Oh. Warren. Let me introduce, this is Shen, I think you should have heard his name."
　　 "Shen. This is my friend Warren Buffett."
　　 Buffett's appearance here, for Shen Jiannan, felt both unexpected and not unexpected.
　　 Clinton’s appointment, the biggest supporters behind it were financial tycoons and representatives of emerging economic industries. As the fifth-generation stock of the United States, this investment master who has already begun to enter the annals of history, it is understandable to support Clinton in terms of interests and needs.
　　 Of course, with Shen Jiannan's disposition, he lacks awe in this world, let alone a stock wrapped in a coat.
　　 He has witnessed countless magnificent waves that Buffett has not seen.
　　 What does that paragraph say.
　　Buffett: I lived to be 89 years old, and I have only seen four US stock circuit breakers. I am too young...
　　 And Shen Jiannan, but someone who has seen the U.S. stock market fuse four times within ten days, has even seen crude oil drop to an incredible negative number.
　　Round age... Buffett is too young.
　　 With these insights that break history and logic, Shen Jiannan feels that he has more background than the people of this era.
　　 "Hello, this is Shen Jiannan. Nice to meet you."
Under Soros’ introduction, Shen Jiannan reached out to Buffett with courtesy and courtesy. In any case, Buffett is an iconic figure in the American financial market. He has even become the embodiment of the word investment. Anyone who makes progress may be able to Learned experience from him.
　　 Faced with the capital giants that brought down the European financial system, Buffett did not dare to be careless. He stretched out his hand and shook Shen Jiannan's hands.
　　 "Hello, Mr. Shen. I have been admiring your name for a long time, and I am really honored to know you."
　　 "Mr. Buffett is so polite. Your name has already been so thunderous. It is my honor to know you."
　　On the stage, Lianen showed a smile and shouted to the guests around.
　　 "One hundred thousand dollars twice! Is there a higher bid!"
　　 Soros didn't introduce some people around with flattering and eager faces to Shen Jiannan to know him. Instead, he turned his attention to the auction on the stage. Lin En's shout fell to the ground, and he gently raised the sign in his hand.
　　 "Two hundred thousand dollars."
After a price increase of one hundred thousand US dollars, all the eyes in the field immediately focused on Soros. Antonio, with a very ugly face, also looked at Soros with gratitude, and thanked Soros for letting him avoid the embarrassing situation of raising the price and taking the auction back. .
　　 "This gentleman bid two hundred thousand dollars. Is there anything higher."
　　 "Two hundred thousand dollars at a time."
　　Whoever has his head will buy a porcelain from France at a higher price. Although this is a political election fundraising, no one has enough money to be burned by the wind.
　　 "This lot is now owned by Buyer 3. Let us congratulate and praise his generosity and generosity."
　　 Snap slap
　　 In the applause, Soros just nodded slightly and smiled, and then he talked about Buffett and Shen Jiannan. In his eyes, the only people in front of him who can enter his eyes and are qualified to talk.
　　 "The lot below is a beautiful and colorful sapphire. It comes from the United Kingdom and has an ancient history of more than 300 years. It was once favored by the audience of Queen Victoria. It was provided by Mr. Rey Dario from the Bridge Water Fund."
　　 "Papa Papa"
　　 "The starting price of this lot is 20,000 U.S. dollars. Each price increase shall not be less than 1,000 U.S. dollars."
　　 "......"
　　 "This is a piece of armor from the Warring States period in Japan. It is provided by Berkshire Hathaway manager Warren Buffett..."
　　 "Papa Papa"
　　 "The starting price of this lot is 20,000 U.S. dollars. Each price increase shall not be less than 1,000 U.S. dollars."
　　One piece, two rooms, three pieces...
　　 The variety of weird lots is dazzling. Some things are very valuable and sold at a very high price. Some things seem worthless, but they are also sold at prices that outsiders may not understand.
　　 Shen Jiannan feels very interesting.
　　 Compared with the direct sponsorship of subsequent presidential elections, the commercial exchange and interest involved in this auction seem to be more subtle and beautiful.
　　 At least, there is no rough and frenzied flavor and a layer of fig leaf.
　　 "Below. It is a pocket watch with fine workmanship and well-preserved, provided by Mr. Warren Buffett."
　　 "The starting price is one thousand U.S. dollars. Each increase shall not be less than one thousand U.S. dollars."
　　Fame and fortune have been indifferent since ancient times.
　　 This is especially true in the investment industry.
　　 Since Warren Buffett acquired Berkshire Hathaway and cut off the textile industry to take the financial route, the company that had depreciated to seven dollars has miraculously rejuvenated and its stock price has risen at a geometric rate.
　　 Later, this company invested in all walks of life, and its stock price soared to 347,000 U.S. dollars.
　　 Although the stock price of this company is still hovering at US$8,000, the profit of more than 1,000 times is an unimaginable miracle for people in this era.
　　 It can be said that Buffett has created a miracle with a prosperous investment history, and the fifth-generation stock is well-deserved.
　　 And all of this started with Buffett’s unique vision of acquiring the company.
The company’s full name is Government Employees’ Insurance Company. It was founded in the 1940s and mainly engaged in auto insurance business for government employees. After Graham’s brilliant management, the government employees’ insurance company developed rapidly and became the number one in the United States in more than ten years. The top five auto insurance companies once exceeded one billion U.S. dollars in market capitalization!
However, during the oil crisis in 1976, Graham had already left the company and ceased to serve as chairman, and died that year. The company’s management made a series of errors in the assessment of insurance claims costs, which caused the company to The cost of claims has soared, the company has fallen into a loss and is almost on the verge of bankruptcy.
　　 It was at this time that Buffett got his hands dirty and he used Berkshire Hathaway to intervene to buy the company’s stock from the market.
　　 It took a full four years for Buffett to complete the act of swallowing the elephant and swallowing 27.3% of the company's equity with Berkshire Hathaway's market value of less than 80 million.
　　 It is precisely because of this that Berkshire Hathaway has achieved a metamorphic expansion growth, and its market value has expanded several times.
　　 Putting aside Buffett's borrowing of his father's identity, this is undoubtedly a superhuman investment vision.
　　 Therefore, when the host shouted out the pocket watch donated by Buffett, the guests around took a look at Buffett's deity, and some couldn't wait to raise the auction card in his hand.
　　 "Ten thousand. I give ten thousand dollars."
　　 A fat man with a big belly held up a sign with a red neck and shouted, with a look of excitement as if he would give up to me.
　　 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. I'll give thirty thousand dollars."
　　 "......"
　　 "Fifty thousand. Fifty thousand dollars."
　　 Maybe I want to dip into the good luck of the stock god, or I want to taste the stock through the auction, or maybe I want to take the opportunity to please the stock and get some investment favors.
　　 In just a few minutes, an ordinary pocket watch with a reserve price of one thousand dollars has risen to fifty thousand dollars, which makes people wonder whether the pocket watch being auctioned is made of gold.
Listening to the price increase of tens of thousands of dollars each time, the fierce and tense atmosphere of competition made Rowe Wayne clenched his fist, enduring the anxiety and irritability of his heart beating wildly. He came to participate in this auction except for feeling It is more in Apple's interest to support Clinton's election as president, and there is a bigger reason.
　　 That is, getting the attention of Warren Buffett, looking for a ray of life for Apple's financial crisis on the verge of bankruptcy.
　　 Buffett will come to this banquet. It was Wien that took a lot of effort to inquire about the news from his friends. For this, Wien made a lot of preparations, hoping to win the auction donated by Buffett in one fell swoop.
　　 In this case, Buffett can pay attention to him, and he can also use this as a reason to try to visit Buffett.
　　 But now, each price increase is tens of thousands of dollars. It seems that there are many people who have their own goals. According to this situation, I am afraid that the money I prepared will not be able to win the auction.
　　 "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand U.S. dollars! Online bid for one hundred thousand U.S. dollars on the 18th."
"One hundred twenty thousand."
　　 The bidding went from one thousand US dollars to 120,000 US dollars. As the host, Lin En was also very excited. She excitedly shouted into the court:
　　 "Mr. Twenty-two bid $120,000, is there any more."
　　 It may be that the price has soared to this level, exceeding many people's expectations. After all, a premium of more than one hundred times has a strong psychological gap.
　　 Bidders gradually became scarce, and there were no new bidders for a few seconds.
　　 This is undoubtedly a good opportunity.
　　Ro Wayne endured his excitement, quickly raised the sign in his hand, and shouted: "Two hundred thousand dollars."
　　 "Oh, my God. Mr. Thirty-fifth bid 200,000 dollars. He is so generous."
　　 "Are there any other bids."
　　 Buying an ordinary pocket watch for $200,000 is an idiot.
　　 Many people looked at Wayne, and had to press down on the idea of ​​wanting to continue the bidding. So much money is not a joke, it is enough to buy a luxury house plus a few Mercedes-Benz cars.
　　 Just because of luck, or being taken a look at by Buffett, it's not worth it.
　　 "Two hundred thousand dollars at a time."
　　 On the stage, Lianen 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 would pay a higher price.
　　 "Warren. What do you think of this party tonight?"
　　 At a location that is not very conspicuous, Soros said with a smile to Buffett, but the seemingly unconscious question contained too much meaning.
　　 Buffett smiled without saying a word, and shook his head slightly, seeming to blame Soros for being aggressive.
　　 He knew very well that Soros actually said this to Shen Jiannan.
　　 Shen Jiannan can of course also hear it, but Soros's joking tone is not annoying. In this big dyeing vat full of intertwined interests, it is really weird to do nothing.
　　 "Two hundred thousand dollars twice."
　　 Following Lin's yelling, Shen Jiannan raised the sign in his hand and yelled freely: "One million dollars."
　　 Like a tricky kid, Soros has a successful smile on his face, and Buffett gently stroked his forehead, as if he was a little bit ashamed of a lot of age and so much fun.
　　 But for the guests around, they were shocked.
　　 One million dollars.
　　 This number made the noisy hall quiet. Everyone's eyes focused on Shen Jiannan. Even Lin En, who was acting as the host, was shocked by this number and forgot to shout.
　　 One million dollars to buy an ordinary pocket watch, is this guy's brain watt?
　　 Finally, someone recovered.
　　 "Who is that? It seems to be Japan."
　　 "I seem to have seen him somewhere, but I can't remember for a while."
　　 "He is standing with Buffett and Soros, I think, I am afraid he is not ordinary people."
　　 "Oh. God, isn't that the devil from the East? UU reading www.uukanshu.com, how can he be here too."
　　 "......"
　　 "One million dollars at a time, if I can get his favor, I won't be in vain tonight."
　　"..."
　　 The United States is not Europe after all, and this era is not the era of Internet information explosion.
　　 Many people looked at Shen Jiannan's young face, all speculating about his identity.
Gentlemen were shocked by his magnanimity, ladies were shocked by his youth and handsomeness, and the ladies were pierced by the figure of one million dollars, thinking about how to get close to this kind of young and rich money. Rich man.
　　 And some people who have seen him in the newspapers are not sure if they are seeing the who got Europe into trouble.
　　 Of course, some people recognized Shen Jiannan's identity, but they were awed by the bodyguards standing faintly around that circle, no one was so stupid as to preach.
　　 But for Rowe Wayne, everything is terrible.
　　 This who didn't know where to jump out, kicked him into the ditch when he thought everything was going well.
　　 Damn bastard!
　　 "One million dollars at a time!"
