New York, Upper West Side."
Good evening.Warren. ”In an ordinary-looking café around the corner, Abel smiled and raised the coffee in his hand to salute the god opposite.Warren Buffett sat across from him, also smiling as he held up the coffee in his hand and said with a smile, "Hey!
I'm glad that you are willing to accompany me to this ordinary coffee shop and drink a cup of ordinary coffee when you are so busy. ”Abel shrugged.Can you open a café on the Upper West Side, and where can you go ordinarily?
Rents on the Upper West Side are among the most expensive in any of the Confederacy's cities.Opening a coffee shop in such a place is either very profitable, or it is purely a hobby, the kind that generates electricity with love and is driven by love.This coffee shop now.Business wasn't good, at least until the two of them came with a large number of bodyguards, there were no customers in the store.After the two men were protected by a large number of bodyguards, the shopkeeper simply hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the door.I didn't pass by a few people for most of the day.Obviously, this coffee shop may be the kind that generates electricity with love, otherwise it would not be possible to make money even if the unit price is that day with this kind of customer flow.Because such a thousand-square-foot coffee shop can't afford to pay less than $50,000 a month on the Upper West Side."
This coffee shop was once passed by when I was 76 years old, and I suddenly became addicted to coffee and wanted to drink coffee."
Warren Buffett whispered, as if caught up in a memory, "At that time, it was just me as a guest, and my secretary."
The coffee here was delicious and I loved it.However, the business was not very good, and then it almost went out of business.I bought it and now this coffee shop is actually mine. ”It turned out to be a coffee shop of the god of stocks.It's hard to imagine that Warren Buffett, a guy who picks the door to the extreme, would actually buy a money-losing business and then continue to run this money-losing business.Abel joked: "It doesn't look like there's any money here."
Dear Warren, if I broke the news to the news media that this coffee shop that doesn't seem to be very profitable, it is all you have.Do you think your company's stock will fall by 1% tomorrow?
”"Hahaha!"
Warren smiled heartily, "I'm not alone.Maybe the stock of the Microsoft Group will also fall a little.Because of this café, I am not the only shareholder.Bill has a stake in it, huh......
Your grandfather also has a little bit of a stake.They all like me and love to drink coffee here. ”Abel raised an eyebrow.No more talking.I didn't expect this humble coffee shop to be owned by a group of bigwigs.The bigwigs really have their hobbies.I just didn't expect that my cheap grandfather to look so old-fashioned.There is also a leisurely mood, running to this kind of small coffee shop next to the street corner to have a cup of coffee when there is nothing to do."
Okay.Warren.Delicious coffee later, I want to know.You invited me and said you wanted to invite me to dinner.What do you want to talk to me about?
”Abel said straight to Buffett.Buffett took a sip of the water on the table, the coffee in the store was freshly ground, and the manager Buffett met when he was 76 years old was preparing their coffee and food for Abel and Buffett.Now only water is drinkable.After taking a sip of water, Buffett smiled and said, "Dear little Abel."
I have to say that you have surprised us all over the past few months.The foreign exchange market, the stock market, the futures market, and all kinds of investments in other areas ......""
Hmm......
Today seems to be November 21st.In two days, you're going to make a big profit again. ”Abel smiled quietly.He knows what Buffett is referring to.Because in two days, on November 23rd.If you don't do anything, you really want to make a lot of money.Because November 23rd is the expiration date of a batch of international crude oil futures CFDs that I bet on with the World Bank a month ago.The day after tomorrow, the four banks will either hand over the corresponding international crude oil stipulated in their respective contracts.Either make up the difference in the VAM contract of the international crude oil agreement, no matter which one you choose, Abel will make a lot of money.Article 1 is clearly very unlikely that such a large amount of international crude oil will be issued.Except for those important oil-producing countries, few people can make it.The biggest possibility is to make up the difference in the price of the contract, that is, the normal loss in the futures market.A month ago, the margin of 10 billion US dollars, the leverage ratio of 5 times, a total of 50 billion US dollars of international crude oil contracts.When he bought it, it was $71.67 a barrel, but now it is about $57 a barrel, and the average barrel of international crude oil earns a little more than $14.The 50 billion international crude oil contract is a little more than 700 million barrels according to the provisions of the contract.At the current number, it is more than 700 million×14 more.Abel's profit is about $10 billion.Now let's see if international crude oil will continue to fall in the past two days.If it goes down, Abel will earn more, and if it goes up.Unless there is a super event like the original Gulf War, there is also a super event like 911.International crude oil re-marked above $71.67, and Abel may lose money.Otherwise, it is just a matter of earning more and earning less, and the four major banks that took over this batch of contracts on a trip to Xincheng can be said to have lost miserably.Especially after eating half of MGDT, according to this loss rate, they will lose at least about $5 billion this time.Although it is said that there are always profits and losses in business, a business that loses more than 5 billion yuan a month is still the hard currency of the world - the US dollar.Such a big loss-making business.But it's very rare.Now there are many celebrities and experts in the investment community and the financial circle, who are singing about MGDT.This year's annual report of this huge bank is not so good.According to an article by Babos Duren published in Bloomberg, MGDT shares will fall by at least 2% or more after the annual report comes out.This kind of behemoth stock, a 1% drop can be in the news, and it is already terrifying to fall so much.It's not a financial crisis like '08.What Buffett is joking with Abel about now should be this thing.Abel was not thrilled at all.Hundreds of billions of dollars worth of oil fields have found two areas of $10 billion, although it is cash, is the most needed capital flow for various large conglomerates, but it has not aroused much excitement for him.For other entrepreneurs, as well as business groups, there is a very urgent and very useful cash flow.For him, a guy who can open a position in the financial market, although he can't say how much he wants, tens of billions of dollars are still very easy to take.That's a lot of power.Few companies can come up with more than $10 billion in cash at once.There are only a few companies in the world that have such capabilities.The most famous almost everyone knows that Apple ......
Abel is actually the same now.Other people's acquisitions are exchanged for stocks, and then a part of the cash is used to buy the other party's shares.Unlike his acquisition, at present, almost all of them are smashed out with cash.From Viacom to Paramount, from Victoria's Secret to the farms on the Colorado side.Anyway, it's smashed with cash."
It's nothing.In real business, Warren is a lot more powerful. ”Abel shrugged and said to Buffett."
Hahaha!"
Buffett couldn't help laughing, and then said in a voice full of emotion, "I suddenly envy Mr.
Adam very much."
He has a good grandson like you, and the future of the Sephorosa family is now optimistic for everyone. ”When it comes to his family.And the cheap grandfather who can't help but subconsciously disgust his body as long as he thinks about it a little, and he will be angry.Abel declined to comment.The original Abel Sephorosa didn't know how far he had trouble with his grandfather.The main consciousness has been gone for so long, and as long as the meaning of the body is remembered, it will still react."
Alright.Dear Warren, you have invited me here.You don't just want to treat me to a cup of coffee and dinner.Then talk to me about my business?!
”Abel said to Buffett again."
Just be direct, please.Your time and I are very valuable, and there is no need to waste time here. ”Seeing Abel so direct.Buffett groaned.Whispered: "There are two main things.One is my business, and the other is what others ask me to do.First of all, I will talk about my matter, I told you about this last time, dear little Abel. ”"Huh?""
The matter of the Guowei Group over there in Huaxia.Are you really not interested?
That is a super communication system that has more than 1/3 of the 4G technology patents and more than half of the 5G technology patents on a par with Qualcomm!
And their semiconductor chip technology has also entered the world's top 5 level in just a few years......
"Although I am very reluctant to admit it, the traditional industry has indeed gradually fallen behind.In the future, it will really be these high-tech guys who are popular, 3G technology and 4G technology, I looked away.There used to be a good investment opportunity, and Qualcomm once asked me for help, but I turned it down.Now there is a better opportunity in front of everyone, and that is 5G. ”"Eat the country for the group.With half of the future 5G technology, whoever can successfully do this will have the initiative in the future.Everyone can't wait to get ready to get started, it's a feast.Don't you want a piece of the pie?
”Warren Buffett stared at Abel with blazing eyes, proposing something that the two had already proposed before.Take action against a giant on the other side of the Pacific.It's very difficult at one time.But if successful, it can be a very lucrative business action.But is this really a business action?
