My Age of Investment

Central America, Nebraska.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed flight attendant in uniform stood at the cabin door, escorting passengers off the plane.

Xia Jing walked in front, and Bill Gates was one step behind.

After getting off the gangway and stepping on the ground, Xia Jingxing turned his head and took a look at this big toy - Bombardier BD-700 Global Express!

The price is more than 40 million US dollars, and it can take 19 passengers.

"Daren, how do you feel? Actually, you can buy one too, it's not expensive anyway.

With it, your transportation will be much more convenient. "

Seeing Xia Jingxing getting off the plane and still looking at his favorite plane, Bill Gates said a few words with a smile.

In two lifetimes, Xia Jingxing was actually the first time to take a private jet.

He had seen it online before, but all he saw were pictures and videos.

When I entered the cabin, I felt a big difference. I realized what it means: the boring and boring life of the rich.

"Buy it, why not buy it?"

Xia Jingxing shrugged and said, "But I don't dare to recruit such a young and beautiful stewardess, Mrs. Gates has a big heart."

Bill Gates narrowed his eyes into a smile, pointed at Xia Jingxing and said, "You little guy, you have so many associations in a day."

Xia Jingxing and Gates chatted and left the airport, got into a car together, and were escorted by a car at the front and back, and drove outside.

Through the car window, I looked at the outside world, a very ordinary small town.

The name of the small town is Omaha, with a population of 400,000, but it is the largest city in the state.

And there is a well-known company in the city named Berkshire Hathaway.

Every year at the beginning of May, investors from all over the world will flock to this small town like a pilgrimage to hold a general meeting of shareholders.

More than 50,000 people attended the meeting, 10,000 of whom were Chinese.

The meeting site was crowded with people, and the general meeting of shareholders had an effect not weaker than that of a concert.

In my previous life, I could often see photos of celebrities and successful people sharing meetings here on social networking sites.

In fact, these people are not micro-businessmen, but they are engaged in paying for knowledge and selling courses.

As long as you are a shareholder of Berkshire Hathaway, you can receive four tickets.

On the day of the conference, there is also a special "Shareholder Shopping Day" event.

I don't know anything else, anyway, a general meeting of shareholders will definitely boost the local shopping and tourism GDP.

Xia Jingxing glanced out the window a few times, then looked away, and started chatting with Bill Gates.

"Why didn't Mr. Ba move to New York? The company has always been here?"

Gates said with a smile: "He was born here and grew up here. Maybe he has feelings for this land!"

Xia Jingxing nodded, no matter how you say it, the old man Ba's care for his hometown is absolutely nothing to say, shrinking in a small city and not moving his nest for decades, he is definitely an outlier among the rich.

"Daren, I heard that your Lixia Fund has created an annualized rate of return of nearly 700% in one year?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Gates and said with a smile, "Even you know?"

"It has spread in the investment circle, and many wealthy Americans are gearing up to invest in you."

Xia Jingxing thought, this news spread really fast!

In fact, he underestimated the rich people's interest in making money.

These people hold parties every day and try their best to get into the upper class. The main purpose is to exchange resources and find ways to make money.

How could a new hedge fund with outstanding investment performance not arouse the interest of rich people and become a topic of conversation after dinner.

However, he felt that Gates' words were still too exaggerated.

Earning several times the income a year is not a big deal, not to mention that the fund is still so small, with only tens of millions of initial capital.

Compared with the old-fashioned hedge funds that earn billions of dollars a year, the Lixia Fund is still far behind.

The most lacking is the background, in fact, it is to prove your ability to make money in the long run.

Gates said that many rich people are planning to invest in Vision Capital, so it’s just a matter of hearing it, and it’s not true.

"Really? Then it seems that my charge is still low."

Xia Jingxing didn't bother to expose it, and made a joke following what Gates said.

"The 30% share will go up?"

Gates took it seriously and asked in surprise.

"You care so much about us, is Waterfall Investment also planning to invest in us?"

Gates smiled slightly, "You know me very well!"

Waterfall Investment is the name of Gates' family office. This broken name is also because there are dozens of investment companies with the same name in the United States, which can cover Gates' investment behavior.

When Microsoft went public, Gates held 44.8% of the shares. Over the years, it has reduced its holdings to only a few points, and all the funds that have been cashed out have entered Waterfall Investment.

Waterfall investing is characterized by diversification of investments to reduce exposure to the technology industry.

First, the focus is on the United States, Canada and other countries, and the investment fields include transportation, retail, communication, entertainment, catering, finance and insurance.

Second, in recent years, China has increased its investment in emerging countries such as China, and its investment fields include retail, automobile manufacturing, entertainment, Internet, and communications.

There was a joke in the previous life that Gates did not reduce his 44.8% stake in Microsoft. When Microsoft's market value reached more than 1 trillion US dollars, his worth could reach 600 to 700 billion US dollars.

However, because the stock was reduced and the investment was invested in Waterfall Investment, the final worth was only about 100 billion US dollars.

It is equivalent to saying that the investment behavior in the past 20 or 30 years has completely lost money.

Doing nothing and holding Microsoft stock all the time is the most profitable investment method.

Compared with Gates, the current Microsoft CEO Ballmer has made the completely opposite choice. If he kills him and does not reduce his holdings of Microsoft stocks, he will eventually become rich!

Of course, Gates' choice is also correct, and he is constantly optimizing his asset portfolio.

Even if Microsoft suddenly goes bankrupt, Gates will not return to abject poverty, and it can be said that it will not hurt his fundamentals.

This is the real family business that can be passed down!

Gates thought about it, Xia Jing acted for the common interests of everyone on Facebook, chose to leave Facebook, and concentrated on investing, sacrificing a lot.

And the other party's investment is not bad at all, and it's not a big problem to support one or two.

So he said, "Okay, I'll let Larson talk to you."

Larson was the manager of the wealth of the Gates family. Xia Jingxing knew this person, nodded with satisfaction, and wrote another business order.

To make money in the United States, if you don’t bring a few powerful Americans to play, you will earn too much, and you will be envied.

Of course, there is no sacrifice of interests in Vision Capital. In addition to forming an interest alliance, management fees and dividends can also recover part of the income.

As long as it's done properly, it won't hurt too much.

Chatting and chatting, we arrived at our destination.

After parking the car on the side of the road, Xia Jingxing and Gates got out of the car.

Xia Jingxing looked at the two-story building in front of the main road, the whole body was gray and white, and there was a large yard in front of the building, surrounded by neatly built green plants.

There were no iron gates or fences, nor did the patrolling security guards see them.

Xia Jingxing looked around, it was an ordinary middle-class community, and the architectural style was similar to that of the nearby houses.

Life is as simple as this, and there is no one else.

It can only be said that the realm is different.

Hearing the sound of a car, Buffett walked out with a ping-pong paddle.

The old man was wearing a sportswear, with big beads of sweat on his head, he looked no different from an ordinary old man doing morning exercises.

Seeing Bill Gates, the old man stepped forward and hugged, "Hi, Bill, good morning!"

"Good morning!"

After Gates greeted him, he introduced Xia Jingxing who was beside him to Buffett.

"Oh, you are that Chinese kid?"

Buffett raised the table tennis racket in his hand and asked, "Will you play table tennis?"

Xia Jingxing laughed, hehe, who is he looking down on?
