Among the people present, Ivor was probably the one who trusted Zhang Bin's ability the most, so he was the first to raise his hand.
"Goldman Sachs is willing to invest US$1.1 billion in Global Investment Corporation," Ivor said.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone else looked surprised.
Goldman Sachs' offer of US$1.1 billion seemed to be enough confidence in Zhang Bin, and it could even be said to be a big gamble.
Especially Stephen and Johnson seemed to be shocked by Goldman Sachs's generosity.
They were silent for a long time.
They thought it was a matter of a few hundred million US dollars at most, but they didn't expect that Goldman Sachs would spend 1.1 billion US dollars.
It was simply not too aggressive.
At this time, when the power of the financial crisis has spread, many companies have begun to collect cash, and Goldman Sachs is no exception.
There is not much deviation from the footsteps of history.
A week ago, Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was acquired by Bank of America, and the global financial crisis began.
Just in the past few days, the only remaining companies, Goldman Sachs Group and Morgan Stanley, have applied to the Federal Reserve to transfer to bank holding companies.
This move has imposed more restrictions on the other two companies, but the amount of funds raised has become relatively small.
Easier.
It is under such an environment that Goldman Sachs can still invest so much money in Zhang Bin.
It can be seen that this is true love.
In fact, Goldman Sachs is helpless.
In this extremely bad investment environment, Goldman Sachs must also find a high-quality investment direction, and Zhang Bin's investment is considered to be absolutely high-quality.
And they don't need to come up with this money.
Zhang Bin already owes them US$1.1 billion, which is exactly the amount of this investment.
Paulson's eyes flashed and he broke the silence.
"I personally offered to invest US$200 million, and then on behalf of the Paulson Hedge Fund, I invested US$500 million."
Although Paulson believed in Zhang Bin, he still showed a certain degree of caution.
The financial crisis is not a bad thing for Paulson.
The effect is the opposite.
His hedge fund relies on the financial crisis to make money.
This is 1.8 billion US dollars.
Everyone present knows that the first investment market of Zhang Bin's Global Investment Company is futures.
In other words, Zhang Bin's first investment will be in the futures market.
However, the futures market is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen in the next second.
With so much money, you can make a lot of money, but you can also lose a lot.
With just one mistake, you may lose nothing.
Johnson and Stephen hesitated for a long time because they had many situations to consider.
Finally, after some phone calls with the headquarters, Johnson provided 300 million U.S. dollars.
This was the capital he lent to Zhang Bin and was now invested in Global Investment Company.
Stephen invested US$200 million on behalf of Bombardier, and he actively fought for the US$200 million.
As a result, the final funds raised were US$2.3 billion.
"When will the funds arrive?"
This is the question that Zhang Bin is most concerned about.
"You can do it at any time."
Now that I have said it, there will be no hesitation.
"Okay, I will personally invest US$7.7 billion to make up for the US$4 billion investment," Zhang Bin finally said.
When they heard that Zhang Bin had made up the amount of four billion, everyone except Eivor looked surprised.
Zhang Bin actually said easily that he would spend 1.7 billion U.S. dollars.
How much money does he have?

Instead, Stephen became more confident in his previous cooperation with Zhang Bin.
Since Zhang Bin had so much money, there should be no problem with his methods and investment direction.
The total investment of four billion U.S. dollars was not expected by anyone except Ivor, who was somewhat mentally prepared.
After the dinner ended, Zhang Bin returned to the room and began to think about his next plan.
There are 4.2 billion U.S. dollars in the futures market.
The 1.7 billion he invested this time plus Goldman Sachs' 1.1 billion U.S. dollars require a total of 2.8 billion U.S. dollars.
The remaining 1.4 billion U.S. dollars Zhang Bin is ready to spread out and invest. in various futures.
As for the US$4 billion raised this time, Zhang Bin will focus on investing in crude oil futures, and then diversify into futures markets such as copper, soybeans, and rare metals.
His goal is to reach $6 billion in personal assets by the end of this year.
Investing four billion US dollars in futures will inevitably attract the attention of various financial giants.
Zhang Bin brought others in to bear the pressure, including Buffett and even Gates.
How could a little-known boy like him have such great ability to make so much money?
That is, he got the guidance of an expert, or he was just a chess piece.
This is the effect Zhang Bin wants to achieve.
Global Investment Company has two more tasks in the second half of this year: to buy a large number of shares in Apple, and then to invest in FedEx.
With the addition of these people, it will become easier to achieve these goals.
Although his share is smaller, the pressure he bears is relatively smaller, and the road becomes wider.
The door to Zhang Bin's room rang, and it was Paulson.
"Hey, man, you look bored," Paulson said with a laugh.
"I'm just thinking about how to invest next," Zhang Bin said, pointing to his head.
"I'm leaving tomorrow.
You know, the situation is a bit complicated now and I have to hurry up," Paulson said.
"Do you have anything to say?"
Paulson hopes to get some new information from Zhang Bin.
He got some benefits last time and feels that Zhang Bin must have some unknown trump cards that can make him unfavorable in various investments.
Zhang Bin thought about it and gave some suggestions.
Stephen and others were all very busy people, so of course they couldn't wait for Buffett's answer with Zhang Bin.
Everyone left on the morning of the 24th.
Only Ivor has not left.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Zhang Bin looked at Ivor and said with a smile when he got up in the morning.
Ivor shrugged and said helplessly: "My mission here this time is to watch you, where else can I go?"
Ivor is telling the truth.
Goldman Sachs has invested so much money, so naturally it has to keep an eye on Zhang Bin.
"What do you think will happen if I take the money and run away?"
Zhang Bin said with a smile.
Ivor thought about it seriously and said, "I guess the fate of Merrill Lynch will be the same."
Zhang Bin suddenly sighed.
In the past week, the whole world has been going crazy.
There are various mergers and acquisitions, and major companies are clamoring for financing.
They are everywhere, and they are all famous large group companies.
A financial crisis has led to the bankruptcy of many companies.
Banks like Citibank still have some spare capacity, and even Goldman Sachs needs financing to survive the crisis.
The next few days were relatively quiet.
Zhang Bin stayed in the hotel with nothing to do, exchanging investment experiences with Ivor or chatting about interesting stories about a certain celebrity.

Ivor is worthy of being an investor for so many years.
He knows many things and what he says is very interesting.
Zhang Bin often laughs when he hears it.
From time to time, the two would hold the day's newspapers and discuss who gave money to whom today and who refused to give money to whom.
Anyway, the entire Western world was in chaos at this time.
The news at this time is almost all about the financial crisis.
However, no matter how chaotic it was outside, Zhang Bin and the others looked relaxed, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.
Zhang Bin is not in a hurry, there is no news from Buffett yet.
On the 28th, the British Treasury implemented a bank rescue plan for Bradford Bentley Bank, a major British mortgage bank.
A lot of things happened on this day, but Zhang Bin was waiting for someone at the Hanton Hotel.
Stanley O'Neill.
Former CEO of Merrill Lynch
