John Paulson came to London specifically to meet Zhang Bin.
This surprised Zhang Bin.
As for who revealed the news, needless to say, it must be Ivor.
Ivor is still in charge of Zhang Bin’s funds in the Paulson Hedge Fund.
A total of 730 million U.S. dollars, including principal and interest, was invested again.
With such investment means and courage, Ivor could only sigh in his heart, what a terrible future.
As one of the largest investors in the hedge fund, Paulson came specifically to visit Zhang Bin.
One was to thank Zhang Bin for his support, and the other was to see if he could get some more investment from Zhang Bin.
Last year alone, Paulson's fund received a total of US$7 billion in investment, and Zhang Bin personally contributed US$500 million.
Paulson is a staunch supporter of the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis.
He believes that the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis will occur in the first half of 2009 at the latest, and before that, he hopes to make more money.
Paulson, who is 53 years old this year, looks like a typical capitalist.
He wears a pair of glasses, a suit and a leather collar, which is consistent with Zhang Bin's image of a capitalist.
"Zhang, it's nice to meet you."
Paulson and Zhang Bin gave him a warm hug as soon as they met, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Mr.
John, it's an honor to meet you," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
He began to feel more and more comfortable dealing with such predators.
After a few chats, Paulson began to lobby Zhang Bin, hoping that he could make larger investments.
Zhang Bin is not surprised.
There is only one possibility for capitalists to come to your door and ask you for money.
It may be that you owe them money, or they may want you to give them more money.
Zhang Bin does not intend to directly give Paulson more money, because he really has no money.
But he hopes to get more from Paulson.
Since Paulson's best method is short selling, Zhang Bin doesn't mind telling him about several companies that are about to file for bankruptcy or face acquisitions, so that he may be able to earn considerable funds.
Paulson showed no expression when he left, but Zhang Bin was in a good mood.
Because the 23rd is his birthday, Zhang Bin must leave tonight.
So I made several calls to urge Ivor.
Ivor said it would take three days, but in fact one day was enough.
Although companies like Goldman Sachs will not randomly raise a billion dollars in financing for one person, if they can see benefits from this person, they will not hesitate to do so.
On the evening of the 21st, Ivor and Zhang Bin had a long meeting at the Goldman Sachs London Investment Bank. 600 million U.S. dollars, plus the 600 million U.S. dollars Hao Ren and the others had previously, all purchased Brent crude oil futures.
What Zhang Bin needs to pay is an interest rate of three points and a profit share of one point.
At ten o'clock in the evening on the 21st, Zhang Bin and his party boarded the plane.
At four o'clock in the afternoon on the 22nd, which was twelve o'clock in the evening, Yanjing time, Zhang Bin rushed back to Yulinxiang'an.
At this time, Zhao Min and the others were still asleep.
There was no time to rest, so Zhang Bin asked about his plans for tomorrow.
Zhao Min told Zhang Bin that she had already reserved a seat at the Wanda Hotel, and the entire lobby on the first floor had been reserved for tomorrow's birthday party.
This doesn't count how many tables there are.
In short, the hotel can host as many tables as there are people coming.
The standard price of drinks is 1,288 yuan per table.
The hotel has reduced the price by 400 yuan.
The original price is 1,688 yuan per table.
Zhao Min sent invitations to everyone he could think of.
Since he wanted to do it, he should do it in a big way.
Anyway, everyone in Longyang City knows about Zhang Bin now.

Zhao Min estimated the approximate number of people.
On the Zhao family side, there are probably seven or eight tables of brothers and sisters from Zhao Min's father's and mother's side, but Zhang Bin doesn't have any relatives, only some classmates.
Zhao Min has contacted the Longyang City Passenger Transport Company.
A bus will go to the town before dawn tomorrow to pick up relatives at home.
In order to prevent accidents, a total of two buses with more than 50 seats have gone.
Zhao Min's classmates, colleagues, Zhang Bin's classmates, colleagues, and business partners, in fact, it is estimated that there are only fifty or sixty tables.
After all, the two of them are young and do not have many acquaintances and friends.
It's just that the two young people and the old man have different opinions on whether to accept gifts.
Zhang Bin and Zhao Min meant not to accept gifts, but Zhao's father and mother insisted on accepting gifts.
"Receiving a gift does not mean how much money is received.
It is a human relationship.
We have this gift list.
It is better for us to compare who has a happy event or treat someone else in the future.
Otherwise, we will not know who is coming and who is not.
"Count," Zhao's mother explained.
"Otherwise, we won't accept the gift money and just register the guests who come," Zhang Bin said.
Everyone thinks this is fine.
Anyway, Zhang Bin’s status is not short of this little money.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the family packed up after dinner.
At nine-thirty, the group drove to the Wanda Hotel.
Early in the morning, everyone at Wanda Hotel also started to get busy.
Today is the birthday of Mr.
Zhang Bin, one of the three giants in Longyang City.
It is also their honor to choose Wanda Hotel as the place.
You know, when a person like Zhang Bin holds a birthday, you can guess the level of the people who come with your feet, so the hotel can't help not paying attention to it.
At dawn, manager Xu Songye summoned hundreds of hotel employees and began to give instructions.
Except for some service staff who were left to take care of the previous guests, everyone would serve today's birthday banquet.
In short, those who came to the hotel today must be big shots.
They must not make any mistakes.
If there is a problem, go to whoever it is.
When Zhang Bin's car arrived at the hotel, the manager came out to greet him.
"Mr.
Zhang", the manager opened the door to Zhang Bin in person, which was very considerate.
"Manager Xu, have the accommodation and banquets been arranged?"
Zhang Bin said looking at Xu Songye, the manager of Wanda Hotel.
"Don't worry, Mr.
Zhang, everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to arrive," Xu Songye replied with a smile.
This is not the first time that Father Zhao and Mother Zhao have come to Wanda Hotel.
Zhang Bin had eaten here before on Mother Zhao's birthday.
After staying in Longyang City for half a year, the temperament of Zhao's father and Zhao's mother has changed to some extent.
Especially Zhao's mother, who is not too old, has learned how to take care of herself in the past few months, and will do things with Zhao Min when nothing happens.
Even when she is doing a sauna or something, she still looks like a lady when she dresses up.
The manager of Wanda Hotel personally came out to greet him, and his attitude was so polite.
Father Zhao and mother Zhao felt a little proud, and they felt a little lighter when they walked.
Because of the special nature of today, the hotel refuses all outside business and leaves enough space in front for parking during peak passenger flow periods.

At a little after ten o'clock, Zhang Bin and his family were standing outside waiting for customers.
Manager Xu was also waiting with some people, and the others began to perform their duties, because there was going to be a peak passenger flow period soon.
The first wave of guests that Zhang Bin's family welcomed were none other than two buses that set off for Zhao Min's hometown before dawn.
The bus stopped at the door of the hotel, and many relatives of the Zhao family began to get down one by one.
It is the first time for almost everyone to come to a hotel like this.
Although some people in Longyang City are not the first time to come, it is definitely the first time to a hotel of this level.
When everyone saw the treat here, they all believed one thing, that is, Zhao Youliang had definitely found a rich son-in-law.
Zhao Youliang is the name of Zhao's father.
Someone who knew the situation in the car said that Zhao Youliang and his wife had gone to the provincial capital a long time ago and were picked up by his daughter and future son-in-law.
They said they were very rich in the provincial capital.
Last time Father Zhao and Mother Zhao went back to visit their relatives, the clothes they wore and the gifts they brought back really made the relatives and friends at home envious.
"His second brother is here, just in time.
Let me greet your eldest brother."
Mother Zhao stepped forward with a smile and said to a middle-aged man.
"Brother and sister, thank you for your hard work.
I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't be able to greet me today."
"Third aunt, you're here too.
It's so kind of you to travel such a long way."
Zhao's mother was busy greeting the guests, while Zhao's father took the driver and each stuffed a red envelope with five hundred yuan in it.
This makes the driver happy.
Five hundred yuan is not a small amount of money for them.
It seems that rich people do things easily.
At the entrance of the hotel, Zhang Bin and Zhao Min began to receive guests one by one.
"This is the second uncle, my father's biological brother, and this is the second mother."
Zhao Min began to introduce Zhang Bin one by one.
"Hello, second uncle, hello second mother," Zhang Bin greeted with a smile.
"Okay", the second uncle shook hands with Zhang Bin and was invited in by the waiter.
Relatives from small towns are always a little nervous when they visit a place like this for the first time.
Everyone is required to write their name at the door.
There is a special person responsible for writing the gift list.
No gift money is accepted, just write the name.
Many people are a little surprised when they hear that they don’t accept gift money.
There is no gift money for treating guests, but considering that they are so rich, they won’t be short of your money.
In order to take care of everyone's emotions, the hotel arranged these people in a private room at the end.
It is said to be a private room, but it is actually a small area separated from the hotel lobby, which is considered a special treatment.
A total of eighty-nine people came, eight people per table, and eleven tables were arranged.
As the first wave of guests arrived, the following people began to arrive in an endless stream.
First, Song Zhichao and the others, who had just finished their exams, and the entire people in dormitory 105 came over with their girlfriends.
Even a lot of people from the class came, which surprised Zhang Bin.
Many friends and colleagues from Zhao Min also came.
Many employees from the group headquarters, Tianyu Media, and Animation and Animation Division came here.
School leaders, including those from Zhang Bin High School, also came.
Zhang Bin and Zhao Min were busy greeting everyone, but everyone understood that Mr.
Zhang may not necessarily know them.
So we just had a simple interview, everyone left their names, then entered the hall, and found a table to sit down in groups of twos and threes who knew each other.

Neither Zhang Bin nor Zhao Min knew their colleagues, Father Zhao and Mother Zhao, so they both went to where their relatives and friends were.
"Brother Zhao, I think you two have a good life now, you have found such a good son-in-law," a friend shouted to the two of them.
"This is Xiao Min's ability.
I've known this kid to be good-looking since he was little.
But when he grows up, he won't be able to marry a rich man," another woman said with a smile.
"Boss Zhao, how much money does your son-in-law have?
I think such a big hotel has been booked," someone asked with a smile.
"I don't know the exact amount, but it seems like there are several companies and so on.
As for the houses, there are several in Longyang City.
I heard from Xiao Min that this kid owns a lot of real estate in Yanjing City," Zhao's mother said proudly. said.
"There are houses in Yanjing City.
Your son-in-law looks great.
Boss Zhao, since your son-in-law has so many companies, let's see if you can arrange for my waiter to be casually arranged," someone started to say.
Everyone was talking so much that Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were overwhelmed.
Outside, Wei Tingjin and Qiao Zhenliang are also here, including several managers from the group headquarters.
It's okay if you don't treat the chairman's birthday, but if you don't come, then it's your fault.
The time came to 11:30 noon, and some heavyweight guests came.
Chen Yuliang is here, Yu Junxue is here, and most importantly, the relevant leaders of the government are also here.
Even Zhang Bin was helpless now.
He never thought that these people would come.
So Zhao Min and Zhao Min were busy greeting these people.
"President Chen, you are a very busy man," Zhang Bin shook hands with Chen Yuliang and said with a smile.
"No matter how busy you are, can Mr.
Zhang not come to treat us?"
Chen Yuliang said with a smile.
Finally, people were almost here, and Zhang Bin started to make arrangements.
Chen Yuliang, Yu Junxue and others were naturally arranged to be together, and Zhang Bin wanted to accompany them.
Of course, Wei Tingjin and others sat together.
The company's senior staff alone sat at five or six tables, and some deputy general managers also took the opportunity to become familiar with several senior executives.
A birthday party is a bit like a gathering of elites in a shopping mall.
Then there are the employees below, classmates, some leaders, and finally the relatives and friends of Zhao Min's hometown.
A total of one hundred and eighty-six tables, which greatly exceeded Zhang Bin's estimate.
Almost all the employees of the group came.
There were many people, and everyone took advantage of the excitement to toast Zhang Bin.
Zhang Bin knew that he couldn't escape today, so he didn't refuse.
Some were allowed to be tasted briefly, while others were sipped at a drink.
After the whole banquet, Zhang Bin was already drunk and was arranged by the hotel to rest in a room.
Yu Junxue, Chen Yuliang, and some directors of large companies saw that Zhang Bin was almost here, so they all said goodbye and left.
I came today mainly to express my sincere thoughts.
From now on, everyone will be doing business in Longyang City.
Those who can take care of me still hope to take more care of them.
Zhang Bin was drunk, so of course his own people, Wei Tingjin and Song Zhichao, had to help Zhao Min deal with the aftermath.
For relatives and friends who want to leave and who are willing to stay, we can arrange transportation, arrange a room to rest, and play cards and mahjong.
We were busy until about two o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone finally calmed down.
Zhao Min finally sent Wei Tingjin and the others out of the hotel.

Wang Hongyu, Liu Shishi, and Song Zhichao insisted on staying, saying they would help in the evening.
The meal in the evening will be much simpler.
It is nothing more than a meal with some close friends, mainly eating soup pot.
There are still about twenty relatives and friends who are staying, all of whom want to spend a few days in Longyang City.
Of course Zhang Bin didn't mind and told them they could stay as long as they wanted, and would arrange for someone to take them around tomorrow.
Zhang Bin slept until after six o'clock and then continued to have dinner.
After drinking wine and eating a warm soup pot, I suddenly felt much more comfortable.
In the evening, after settling down with the relatives and friends who stayed behind, Zhang Bin and his family went back.
After returning home, Zhao Min told Zhang Bin that today's total consumption was 360,000, not counting the accommodation and meal expenses for the remaining relatives.
Father Zhao and Mother Zhao were also surprised when they heard this figure.
They spent so much money today.
It seemed that this high-end hotel was different.
But Zhang Bin didn't care how much money he spent, his only thought was that it was finally over
