Goldfinger is a bit strange

Chapter 622 That guy is a born gambler (1/2)

"Come on, cheers, congratulations to our little Terry for becoming a billionaire!"

Gates held his glass and gently clinked it with his wife, then raised his glass to his son together, saying that it was the most satisfying masterpiece of their lives.

As for the nickname Terry, it was given to his grandson by Gates' mother.

"Little Bill, congratulations, you are about to become a national idol!" The elder sister also raised her glass excitedly, and she was also happy for her younger brother.

Billionaire, this is a term that can drive people crazy, and now it has also fallen on his younger brother.

Although Gates is 31 years old this year, he has not yet married, so he often returns home, especially at such a happy moment, he also hopes to share it with his family.

His calm cheeks flushed a little, and the hand holding the wine glass was shaking slightly: "Thank you, thank you, but success is important, but learning lessons from failure is more valuable."

"Oh, little Terry, now you should enjoy the joy of success like other young people."

"My child, this is your mother's advice to you. You don't have to stay calm all the time. You should learn to enjoy life. You are already over 30 years old, and you should also consider your partner..."

The mother started talking about the same old things again. The matter of urging marriage is also universal.

Just then, the phone rang, and Bill ran to answer the phone. A very soothing female voice came out from it: "Mr. Gates, this is Margarita, congratulations on becoming a billionaire!"

Margarita, in Latin, means pearl.

The figure of an elegant oriental woman immediately emerged in Gates' mind, and his face immediately became tangled.

The other party bought a lot of Microsoft stocks last year, and Microsoft's stocks are very healthy. Except for the R\u0026D team, there are not many circulating shares on the market.

But the other party bought more than 5% of the shares from the company's senior management at a relatively high price, becoming the third largest shareholder of Microsoft and able to participate in the board of directors.

This also made Bill feel particularly conflicted: the other party was optimistic about the company's development, which was a good thing.

But Microsoft was all Bill's hard work, and he felt that his cake was taken away by others.

So he was in a complicated mood at the moment.

And his mother blinked at old Gates: "It seems to be a call from a lady. Our little Bill, is he in love?"

Old Gates could only shrug helplessly. It seems that mothers all over the world are the same.

Beside the phone, Bill quickly calmed down: "Ms. Margarita, congratulations."

Qian Yuzhen on the other end, after a few polite words, started to get to the point: "Mr. Gates, I want to transfer the restricted shares in my hands. Do you have the intention to buy them back?"

Bill's heart trembled when he heard it. He now holds 45% of Microsoft's shares. If he buys more than 5% of the shares from the other party, then his shareholding will exceed 50%.

Absolute control, this is quite tempting for him.

But unfortunately, he can't do that. Although he is a newly-crowned billionaire, he doesn't have that much cash in his hands.

After struggling for a while, Bill could only decline. He couldn't understand why the other party wanted to buy at this time, as Microsoft's stock must have risen after being stimulated by his becoming a billionaire.

After hanging up the phone, Qian Yuzhen spread her hands to Liu Qingshan. In fact, calling Gates was just a polite formality, knowing that he definitely couldn't afford it.

The next step is the key point. Qian Yuzhen made several more calls, including executives of Goldman Sachs Investment Company and several well-known investors on Wall Street.

Soon the news was summarized to Liu Qingshan: Goldman Sachs had the intention to acquire, but the price was only $50 per share.

This was clearly taking advantage of the fire. When Microsoft closed last week, the price had exceeded $60, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that it would usher in another wave of increases.

In fact, the forecast given by Wall Street analysts is: Microsoft's stock, the more reasonable valuation is about 100 US dollars.

"What a bunch of vampires."

Liu Qingshan also laughed after hearing this. These speculators on Wall Street are indeed more ruthless than wolves.

The prices of the other several companies are also similar. The most conscientious one gave 60 US dollars per share.

You know, Liu Qingshan and his team now hold nearly 400,000 shares of Microsoft.

After the call, Qian Yuzhen couldn't help but feel a little angry, muttering: "A bunch of greedy guys, wait and see how I will kill them in the future!"

"Sister Yuzhen, don't be so murderous, killing is illegal."

Liu Qingshan looked at Qian Yuzhen and couldn't help joking. He was more open-minded. The nature of capital is to pursue profits.

Hearing Liu Qingshan's joke, Qian Yuzhen quickly calmed down. As an investment banker, you must always keep your head calm. She is still a little short of the fire.

At this time, a ring suddenly rang in her bag on the table.

Qian Yuzhen took out a heavy mobile phone, commonly known as a big brother, and started to answer the call. 7K妏橩

Liu Qingshan looked at the beautiful Qian Yuzhen holding a large mobile phone. The picture was awkward no matter how he looked at it. It felt like a beautiful woman holding a brick to hit someone.

After Qian Yuzhen answered the phone, her face was a little excited:

"Qingshan, this is Jim Rogers calling. He is an independent investor and is very interested in Microsoft stocks. He is also in Los Angeles. If we are interested, we can meet and talk."

"Rogers? Well, let's make an appointment with him." Liu Qingshan also blinked. He never expected that he would be sitting with a well-known Wall Street investor so soon.

Qian Yuzhen thought Liu Qingshan didn't know Rogers, so she introduced him:

"Mr. Rogers has an extremely accurate investment vision and has had several classic investment cases. Being targeted by him is often not a good thing."

Liu Qingshan nodded: "I will be careful."

Of course he knows that Mr. Rogers is as famous as Mr. Soros, the creator of the Asian economic crisis and a great philanthropist.

They initially jointly founded the famous Quantum Fund, but later Rogers chose to go solo and become an independent investor with more than 10 million US dollars.

After more than ten years, his net worth has already exceeded one billion.

With his unique investment vision, he not only foresaw the bursting of the bubble economy of the island country, but also went short on it.

Even this year's major stock market crash in the United States, he had an early insight into it, and he also went short and received huge returns.

This is also a cheating man, and Liu Qingshan will certainly not take him lightly.

Qian Yuzhen called back again, and the two parties agreed on a cafe. After Liu Qingshan had lunch, he and Qian Yuzhen went to the appointment.

Grace also wanted to be a driver, but Liu Qingshan asked and found out that the cafe was not far away and the afternoon sunshine outside was just right, so she chose to walk.

In a quiet cafe, Liu Qingshan met the long-famous Mr. Rogers.

The other person was in his forties, with a slightly bald forehead, which made his forehead look extraordinarily large, as if it was filled with wisdom.

Rogers had a faint smile on his face and shook hands with the two people cordially. At least on the outside, he was a trustworthy person.

"I am very happy to shake hands with Ms. Margarita, who is known as the Hand of the East."

Rogers said hello to Qian Yuzhen first, then his deep eyes fell on Liu Qingshan, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:

"Oh, Mr. Mountain, is that you?"

He never expected that the real person behind Longteng Investment was a musician who had recently become famous. It seemed that the span between the two industries was a bit large.

Although Rogers also likes to listen to music to relieve his mood and keep calm, listening to music and creating music are two different things.

"Mr. Rogers, nice to meet you."

Liu Qingshan also smiled and nodded.

Rogers hugged him warmly: "Mr. Mountain, the piece of music you played was very touching, so after listening to it, I immediately donated one million US dollars to improve the lives of indigenous people."

"Oh, you cost me a million, so Mr. Mountain, you can buy the coffee today."

It must be said that Rogers is a very charismatic person who is easy to like.

After sitting down and each ordering a cup of coffee, Rogers got to the point:

"Mr. Mountain, Ms. Margarita, it doesn't seem like a good choice to sell Microsoft stocks at this time?"

He was not in a hurry to discuss business, but instead put himself in the other party's perspective to help him think about it.

Compared with those red-eyed wolves of Wall Street, his magnanimity is infinitely higher. No wonder he can stand out among many investors. He is indeed unique.

"We need some cash." Qian Yuzhen didn't beat around the bush. With such an old fox, she didn't think she could hide anything.

Rogers nodded: "Oh, that must be a lot of money."

After he finished speaking, he crossed his hands and placed them on his chest, circling his thumbs back and forth.

Anyone who knows him well knows that Rogers' action shows that he is thinking.

About a minute later, Rogers put down his hands and looked at Liu Qingshan calmly: "Mr. Mountain, are you not optimistic about the current stock market?"

In the past few years, the U.S. stock market has been in a bull market. Just like the fire cooking oil, Rogers was able to discern the impending stock market crash from the madness. This calmness and wisdom are really rare.

Liu Qingshan also looked at Rogers quietly, and he was also thinking about the meaning of Rogers' words: was it literal, or did it have a deeper meaning.

I am not optimistic about the stock market, so I am preparing to sell stocks.

But did Mr. Rogers in front of him guess that Longteng Investment was preparing to free up funds and also short U.S. stocks?

Liu Qingshan felt that the latter was more likely. After all, the other party also foresaw the imminent stock market crash.

So he smiled and said: "I just think that Microsoft's stock will rise sharply in the near future, so I want to eat some meat along with it."

He has made up his mind: no matter what, his intentions must not be exposed.

Rogers blinked: "Oh, then Mr. Mountain, I'm going to buy your Microsoft stocks, including those restricted shares, at a price of eighty dollars per share."

This price is already $20 higher than the weekend's closing price, and among the buyers Qian Yuzhen contacted, the bid is also the highest.

Even Qian Yuzhen was a little moved and glanced at Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan was not moved at all: "I expect the price to be 200 US dollars per share."

Rogers' hand holding the coffee shook involuntarily.

He re-examined the young man in front of him, and the table fell into a new round of silence.

Qian Yuzhen was also extremely shocked: Is this a sky-high price?

After a long time, Rogers gave a new price: "One hundred US dollars."

Qian Yuzhen couldn't help but feel overjoyed. This price was already equivalent to the stock price given by those appraisers on Wall Street.

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "One hundred and eighty US dollars, and only includes those restricted shares."

"No, this is impossible." Rogers did not bargain again, "Even if the stock price rises higher, he can only look at those restricted shares and not eat them."

After the stock price rises, it will definitely fall back. Rogers doesn't want to be a scapegoat.

Liu Qingshan's expression remained unchanged, and he stopped bargaining: "Mr. Rogers, maybe we can try another way, which might be more interesting."

Interesting? Rogers showed a playful look on his face. He had already raised the young man in front of him to the same level as him.

Although he had never talked about it with outsiders, Rogers regarded all investments as games in his investment philosophy.

What is the purpose of games? Of course, they are played for fun.

And the young man in front of him actually has the same mentality as him, which is interesting in itself, isn't it?

Liu Qingshan saw the other party's interested look, so he smiled and said:

"Mr. Rogers, let's make a bet. I think that when the market opens tomorrow, Microsoft's stock price will be as high as 300 US dollars. What do you think?"

"No, I think it can reach 200 US dollars at most."

Rogers also expressed his judgment.

Liu Qingshan's smile deepened: "In this way, our bet can be established."

"If it can rise to 300 yuan, then you have to buy the restricted shares in my hands at a price of 180 US dollars per share."

"If you guess right, then I will transfer these stocks at a price of 100 US dollars. How about it, Mr. Rogers, are you interested?"

After Liu Qingshan finished speaking, Rogers' eyes also showed a smile: "It's a very interesting bet, but unfortunately, I never bet with others."

This made Qian Yuzhen, who was sitting opposite him, have the urge to hit Rogers in the face.

Liu Qingshan was not in a hurry: "If you guess right, the price will be based on the 80 US dollars you originally proposed."

Rogers still smiled and shook his head, although he did not think that Microsoft's stock could break through 300 US dollars from 60 US dollars in one fell swoop.

"Okay, then I'll make another concession, 60 US dollars." Liu Qingshan still didn't believe that the fish would not take such a delicious bait.

The smile on Rogers' face gradually disappeared. He didn't know where the young man opposite him got such confidence.

The difference between $60 and $180 really made him excited.

However, he still shook his head firmly: "Sorry, I really never gamble."

Faced with such a stubborn person, Liu Qingshan had no choice but to shrug his shoulders regretfully.

It seemed that he could only use the stocks on hand to pledge loans, but the amount of funds obtained in that way could not meet Liu Qingshan's expectations. It was the last resort.

Rogers took a sip of coffee: "However, I think my old friend Mr. Soros will definitely be interested in this. That guy is a born gambler."

The city was in ruins, everything was withered, collapsed houses could be seen everywhere, and blue-black corpses and pieces of meat were seen everywhere, like broken autumn leaves, silently withering.

The streets that used to be bustling are now bleak.

The sandy road that was once crowded with people is no longer noisy.

Only blood mud mixed with pieces of meat, dust, and paper remained, and it was indistinguishable from each other, which was shocking.

Not far away, a broken carriage was stuck in the mud, full of sadness, with only an abandoned rabbit doll hanging on the shaft, swaying in the wind.

The white fur had long been soaked into wet red, full of eerie and weirdness.

The turbid eyes seemed to have some resentment, looking at the mottled stones in front of them alone.

There, a figure was lying.

This was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, with tattered clothes and full of dirt, and a broken leather bag tied around his waist.

The boy squinted his eyes and did not move. The biting cold penetrated his shabby coat from all directions, attacked his whole body, and gradually took away his body temperature.

Following his gaze, a skinny vulture is gnawing on the rotten corpse of a wild dog about 70 feet away from him, and occasionally vigilantly observes the surroundings.
