Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 204 Goldman's Tentative

…

"Well, it seems that we can only wait for the next opportunity!" Cheng Tinghua said disappointedly.

"Don't worry, we will spend a lot of time together in the future!"

"That's true. But you, the rich man, don't despise our 'poor' friends!"

"You know I'm not someone who dislikes the poor and loves the rich!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.

"Of course, it's just a joke. By the way, if Lao Chen and Qin Xiao also plan to make additional investments, do they want to call you?"

"No. Just have them register an account with PayPal and transfer the money to the Thunder Fund's PayPal account through that account."

In order to promote the development of PayPal as much as possible, all companies under Guo Shouyun, including shareholding companies and affiliated companies, have transferred business including salary payment and transfer to PayPal.

After explaining the process to Cheng Tinghua, and after a brief chat, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. But soon, his phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID, narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then pressed the answer button.

"John, it's rare that you have time to call me!"

"Bruce, you said it lightly. Your speech at the California state government the other day made my phone almost explode. Everyone is asking me how much money I made from your Thunder Fund!" John Jamison laughed.

"Then you told them?"

"Of course! Isn't that what you want?"

Guo Shouyun smiled, an extremely smart person like John Jamison would naturally guess his purpose.

"Bruce, how much money did the Thunder Fund make?"

"Didn't you already know?"

"A billion dollars? But my gut tells me you must have made more than that!"

"John, intuition is not accurate!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

"Maybe. But my intuition has never been wrong." After a pause, John Jamison said slowly: "Bruce, how about an exchange? I'll tell you the essence of the 'Hound Project', you come Tell me the exact figure you made on this gold speculation?"

A gleam of light flashed in Guo Shouyun's eyes.

"The Hound Project? I don't know what the Hound Project is. As for the investment income of the Thunder Fund, I made it very clear before. Oh, yes. ...John, I heard that you were not very happy at Goldman Sachs. It happens that we are under the Phoenix company. There is no suitable management candidate for the Phoenix Fund. If you are willing, I hope you can come to serve as the CEO. When that time comes, I am very willing to discuss the issue of gold investment with you." Guo Shouyun said loudly.

Although he still doesn't know the details of the so-called 'Hound Project', he can guess a general idea. And even Guo Shouyun doesn't know anything. With $10.7 billion in hand, he has long been invincible. In contrast, the specific amount of funds in his hands is indeed extremely important information for the Enron Alliance. If you can't figure this out, the Hound Project is a "thank you thankless" castle in the air. So, even if he has a good relationship with John Jamison, he will not reveal such important information.

However, Guo Shouyun's last words of solicitation, or 'a plan of alienation', were beyond John Jamison's expectations. The other side of the phone was silent for a while before the voice came.

"Okay, I see. If you change your mind, you can call me anytime!"

"OK!"

Hanging up the phone, John Jamison's eyes showed a touch of complexity. After quickly sorting through my thoughts, I looked around at the Goldman Sachs executives gathered around them, including: Blank Fein, chairman and CEO; Stephen Bryan, chief operating officer; Mike Kraut, chief financial officer; Robert ·Yetick, chief analyst and other thirteen Goldman Sachs top decision-makers.

Facing their deep and complicated eyes, John Jamison said calmly: "You have heard what you said just now. Bruce Guo is more cautious than we thought."

"Although it's not certain how much money the other party made through this gold speculation, we at least confirmed one thing: Bruce Guo has indeed noticed the 'Hound Project' and made targeted arrangements. Moreover, from the current From the signs, he did a good job." Stephen Bryan said solemnly.

"In this case, do we still need to participate in the Hound Project?" Mike Kraut said.

“I think we should give up. After all, we are not like Morgan, Citi and Bank of America, who have huge stakes in Enron and have to pass the losses on by pulling up Enron. We’ve made enough money from our previous shorts. profit," Jordan Gray said. He is Goldman's chief risk officer.

"I'm against it. I think we should be more involved. We don't have much to lose by failing the Hound plan, and we've been able to get a lot of money from Bruce Kuo's acquisitions of Apple, Pacific and Southern California as financial advisors and investment advisors. Broker fees. If the Hound program is successful, even if this may be getting smaller, we have the opportunity to participate in the loot,” Robert Yetik said.

His words made half of the people participating in the meeting nodded in agreement.

"John, as you who are most familiar with Bruce Guo, do you have anything to say at this moment?" Sitting in the middle, Blank Fein, who holds the highest power in Goldman Sachs, glanced at the silent John Jamison and asked.

Raising his head, facing the concerned eyes, John Jamison said calmly: "For Goldman Sachs, there is really nothing to lose by continuing to participate in the 'Hound Project'. If it succeeds, there will be huge gains. However, Bruce Guo is not a fool, He can distinguish between enemies and friends. If we continue to participate, it will be extremely difficult to benefit from him in the future.”

"John, Goldman Sachs can't be influenced by one person!" Robert Yetick retorted after frowning.

"The interests of Goldman Sachs are of course not influenced by one person. But if the power of this person grows exponentially every year, or even every month, then the potential interests around him will be huge and unimaginable. Be sure... Goldman Sachs will give up this A AAA customer with unlimited potential?"

3A is the level set by Goldman Sachs for the top customers. In addition, there are 12 different levels including 2A, A, 3B, 2B, B, 3C, 2C, and D. Generally, those who can get a 3A rating are companies in the S&P 500 constituent stocks of the United States, or the super rich with a net worth of more than 3 billion US dollars.

"Bruce Guo is indeed a genius. But if he wants to develop, he cannot do without Goldman Sachs. Because we are the strongest force in the Wall Street capital world!"

Looking at Mike Kraut's confident expression, John Jamison frowned slightly and said nothing. These people have been in charge of the powerful Goldman Sachs for too long, and they have been at the top. They have forgotten what 'humility' is when they control the life and death of the capital market!

By the end of the meeting, nothing had changed. The Hound program remains one of Goldman's priorities for the next phase.

"John, wait a minute!"

Stopped and looked at Stephen Bryan, who was chasing after him, "Stephen, is something wrong?"

"It's noon soon, let's have lunch together? Barex Restaurant, I'll treat you."

Barex is a three-Michelin star restaurant not far from Goldman Sachs headquarters.

Looking at the enthusiastic Stephen Bryan, after thinking for a while, John Jamison smiled and nodded, "It seems that I can save a lot of money for a meal."

"Hehe, let's go! Take my car."

On the drive to the destination, "John, do you have any good plans for bridging the rift between Goldman Sachs and Bruce Kuo?"

"Make up?" John Jamison asked in surprise.

"Yes. We always have to plan ahead for every possible situation so that it can be resolved in time when it happens."

Taking a deep look at Stephen Bryan, "Stephen, you are really a top professional manager!"

"John, you are also the top financial partner!"

After the two looked at each other and smiled, John Jamison thought for a moment, organized the language, and said: "Although I have met Guo Shouyun a few times, we can barely be regarded as friends. But my understanding of him is still a little vague. But I feel, He should be a smart and cunning guy who can stick to his principles and at the same time is extremely demanding about his interests!"

"Principles? Excessive interests? Cunning? ... John, it seems that your views on Bruce Guo are a bit complicated!"

"Because we are dealing with a guy who is always invisible to you." He sighed softly, then paused, "For such a person, you can't set an effective plan in advance, because his taste is always Everything is changing!"

"You mean to do nothing?"

"Of course not!" John Jamison shook his head decisively. "In fact, you don't need to prepare anything, you just need to reveal a goodwill. When Bruce Guo needs it, he will find us by himself. Of course, the premise is It was this kindness that was enough to impress him~www.wuxiaspot.com~ nodded clearly, after thinking for a while, Stephen Bryan smiled: "Thank you, John. I think I already have the answer!"

"That's good, then I'll be paying for lunch too!"

Stephen Bryan smiled, and after a while, his expression showed a strange expression: "Bruce Guo invited you to be the CEO of Phoenix Fund on the phone, are you interested?"

"Maybe!" John Jamison's pupils shrank.

"Maybe?"

"Well. When I leave Goldman Sachs, and if Bruce Guo is really sincere, I will consider it!"

Looking at the calm-looking companion, Stephen Bryan frowned slightly and didn't ask any more questions. Holding on to someone else's private affairs is an offense.
