"Gentlemen and Ladies, I know a lot of people will question my purpose in acquiring Pacific and Southern California. With the energy crisis in sight, the acquisition of two utility companies that are facing bankruptcy and are not very profitable , is not something that a smart investor should do. Because it means investing 500 million US dollars a month to purchase high-priced power supply users. Moreover, 40% of the aging lines of the two companies need at least 300 million US dollars to retrofit Upgrading. Plus, it’s not easy at first sight to bring together two companies with different corporate cultures.”

“…But in my opinion, these difficulties are temporary. There will be an end to the California energy crisis, maybe two months, maybe three months, maybe more, and I think I can hold on to that day. , I have prepared a fund of 300 million US dollars. Even, I will draw funds from my companies to meet the operation of the two companies. In addition, I also solemnly promise you here that after the acquisition of the two companies is successful, I will We will invest in the next 2-3 years to transform aging lines, improve energy efficiency, and build new power plants to add more jobs to California."

"Mr. Guo, you don't seem to have explained why you acquired Pacific and Southern California? Moreover, they have nothing to do with your main technology companies, media and finance." William Bass asked. He is the secretary of the California Department of Revenue.

"I was going to say it later, since Mr. Bass asked, then I'll take it to the front." After a pause, "I believe everyone knows more or less that I have a bachelor's degree in economics from Stanford University, thank you Excellent teachers such as Professor John Stewart and Professor Ron Burns have taught me the inner link between business operation, financial risk and investment."

"...Everyone also knows a few companies under my banner. Google, LinkedIn, paypa1, Guo's, Matrix, Phoenix, Ruby, and Apple just acquired. Among these companies, Google, LinkedIn, paypa1 is an Internet company, Apple and Ruby are technology companies, Phoenix is ​​a financial company, Matrix is ​​a media company, and Guo's is a comprehensive commercial company. Except for Guo's, the seven companies are basically asset-light operations. Apple and Ruby may be slightly less There are some exceptions, but the high-tech industry is not much more resistant to risks than the Internet industry.”

"If we explain it in a more vivid way, we can think of all companies as a portfolio of funds. In this portfolio, Phoenix is ​​the highest risk stock fund, Google, LinkedIn and paypa1 are partial stock funds, Apple , Matrix and Ruby are mixed funds. Guo’s takes into account retail, catering, and agriculture. It can be regarded as a bond fund! From an investment perspective, this combination can achieve high returns, but the risk is relatively higher. Therefore, I need to provide Add one or two currency funds to this portfolio to stabilize the returns of the entire fund portfolio and enhance its anti-risk ability!"

"The financial concept of monetary funds must be understood by everyone, and I will not explain too much here. Then, in my understanding, companies of the monetary fund type are companies that can make stable profits even in the event of an economic crisis. This Such enterprises include public utilities, basic agricultural and animal husbandry enterprises that provide food, etc. If you think my explanation is not clear enough, it is simply an industry company that provides people with the most basic living needs, such as electricity, water, food, etc. This industry is generally characterized by low profits, but stable revenue! Pacific and Southern California are such companies, and they are also 'money fund companies' as I understand them."

"Mr. Guo, I'm not questioning your theory, but the reality is that Southern California and the Pacific are in the throes of an energy crisis," said California Comptroller Peter Lewis.

“Indeed, but if we stretch it out to a span of thirty, fifty, or even a hundred years, the probability of an energy crisis in California as a whole is much lower than the probability of a once-in-a-decade financial crisis. Also, there is never a completely safe business in the world. Compared with other industries, the stability and safety of public utilities are high enough.”

"Mr. Guo, the total assets of the Pacific and Southern California combined are close to $700 million. Even with a lot of debt, it is not easy to acquire, especially in terms of capital. If everything is as you said before, it will invest in energy In the crisis, the debt is operating, and the aging lines of the two companies will be renovated and new power plants will be built. Then I ask, where will these funds come from? $300 million is far from enough.” California Senate President Joe Pierce asked.

“In terms of funding, I was fully prepared before acquiring the two companies. First, for the acquisition of Southern California and the Pacific, ******, Citi and Bank of America will provide about $400 million in financing. .And my own 300 million US dollars, in addition to 100 million for acquisitions, the remaining 200 million US dollars will be used as maintenance funds during the energy crisis. As for the renovation of new power plants and aging lines, the new power plant after the merger of the two companies will be used. The company's revenue is borne. In addition, I can also assure you that after acquiring the two companies, I will not take a penny from her account for at least five years. All operating profits and income of the company are Will be used as funds to improve California's public utilities. And, I very much welcome Mr. Lewis and Mr. White to oversee this!"

After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes slowly swept across the faces of everyone in the audience, and he smiled slightly.

"If you still have doubts about my funds, then I am here to share with you a piece of news. The hedge fund I run, Thunder, has made $100 million in gold futures investments..."

"$100 million?"

"My God, is this true?"

"It's incredible, he really made so much money?"

Guo Shouyun's words were like a heavy bomb that fell from the sky, setting off a monstrous wave in the otherwise calm conference room. You must know that the current dollar is not the dollar that depreciated after quantitative easing after the subprime mortgage crisis. A billion dollars is bigger than three billion in two decades.

Soon, Guo Shouyun saw Qi Shuishuan's arms raised under the stage, and too many people wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

But this is exactly what Guo Shouyun wanted. A billion dollars can both confuse Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Citi, and Bank of America, as well as serve as propaganda. As long as this news spreads, the amount of funds raised by the Thunder Fund will usher in another surge.

"Mr. Guo, is what you just said true? If it is true, how did you earn such a huge amount of money? Also, how do you invest in the private equity fund you manage?"

Before Guo Shouyun could point to someone, someone couldn't wait to ask.

"I believe Mr. White's words, and it is also a question for the vast majority of people present. Let me answer them one by one. First, regarding the true and false questions, I think this is easy to confirm, because we will report the results to customers every quarter. . You can ask the earliest client of Thunder Fund, Mr. John Jamison, senior partner of Goldman Sachs, and Mr. Cheng Zhengchang, the founder of Panda Express. In addition, Governor Davis is also our client, so you can ask him. Of course , It will take a few days for the time being. Because our Thunder employees have gone on vacation around the world with huge bonuses, and they will not send emails to customers until they come back three days later.”

"As for the way to earn this huge amount of money, I think everyone knows about gold futures. This month's explosion of Argentina's debt default in South America has caused the global gold price to skyrocket, and we have made huge profits from it."

"One last question. If everyone wants to invest in the Thunder Fund, it's actually very simple, just give me a call and prepare $100,000 in cash and a bank account."

Guo Shouyun's words successfully turned the original meeting of 'the rationality of acquiring two companies in Southern California and the Pacific' into a promotion meeting to discuss the investment direction, revenue ratio, handling fee and other issues of Thunder Fund~www.wuxiaspot. com~ Of course, this is also in line with human nature, because in most cases, people are more interested in how to make their wallets richer.

Therefore, after this meeting, Guo Shouyun's acquisition of two companies in Southern California and the Pacific greatly reduced the political obstacles.

"Bruce, Thunder Fund made a billion dollars investing in gold futures?"

On the phone, Cheng Tinghua couldn't hide the excitement in his voice, and there was even a hint of shock.

"What, you heard that too?"

"It's more than I heard. Now it has spread throughout the upper class of California. It is estimated that it will not be long before the myth of your wealth will spread throughout the United States." Cheng Tinghua envied.

Everyone is the same age, why are you so strong!

Guo Shouyun smiled, "Have you thought about additional investment?"

"Of course. But I'm not as rich as you, so I'll add another $100,000 this time. ... This is my wife, you must be careful."

"Don't worry! Next time I will turn your one million into two million or more."

"That's really good! By the way, we haven't been together for a long time, why don't we go camping in Orke together?"

Alk is a well-known campground in Santa Clara County, most popular with students from Stanford University, University of San Francisco, and University of California, Berkeley.

"I really want to promise you, but I really don't have time right now. I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow afternoon for the recording of the Oprah Talk Show!"

The matter that Guo Shouyun promised has been delayed for more than a month because of gold speculation. Although Oprah has not urged much. But if he dragged on, he would be embarrassed himself.
