Chapter 208 The Oprah Talk Show (Part 2)

…

"This publishing house is the later thorn bird?"

"Yes!"

"If that's the case, why did you sell it to Amazon again? You must know that Thornbird's revenue last year was not much lower than that of international publishing giants such as Scholastic and Penguin Random."

"The development of Thornbird is indeed very good. In fact, it was somewhat unexpected by me, Christopher and all the founders. However, if you look at it in ten or twenty years. Even if Thornbird has become the largest publication in the world It’s also very difficult for a company to exceed $10 billion in size. In contrast, Amazon, which is in e-commerce, is not necessarily.”

"You mean to say that the future of the Amazon is more brilliant than that of the thornbirds?"

"Yes! I work on the Internet, so I'm naturally more interested in Amazon."

After Oprah nodded, "I know that Ms. Rowling is also a shareholder of Thornbird. Do you agree with Mr. Guo's judgment?"

"I don't know the publishing industry, let alone the internet. But I know that Bruce is an amazing business genius. He encouraged me to invest in Thornbird, and by the time the company was sold to Amazon, I had made 100 times that investment. Return on investment, and it only took a year!" Rowling smiled.

"Wow...!"

There was a burst of admiration from the audience.

"What a remarkable achievement. Bruce, I know you mentioned a while ago in your speech to the state government in California that your Thunder Fund made $1 billion in gold futures last month, is that true?"

"Yes!"

"Can you tell me more about the operation process?"

“The process is actually not complicated. After a lot of analysis, our analysts noticed the hidden dangers in the Argentine economy. It just so happened that the world economy was in a downturn after the Nasdaq crisis, and gold was sought after as a safe-haven asset. Therefore, we judge that once there is a 'black swan event' in the market, the rise in gold prices will become inevitable. Therefore, we boldly took a long position in gold futures at a low level. Later facts proved that we were correct. Thunder Fund has achieved since its establishment. maximum profit."

"Congratulations! Bruce, you are not only an excellent writer, but also an excellent entrepreneur and financial investor."

"Thank you, I will work harder in the future to be worthy of these evaluations!"

Oprah nodded, "Because of time constraints, the interview session of today's show ends here. Next is the questioning session for the last five minutes. Please raise your hands if the audience wants to ask Bruce and Rowling questions."

As soon as Oprah's voice fell, Ru Lin's arms were raised in unison.

"The lady in the pink shirt!"

Seeing that she was lucky enough to be selected, this 312-year-old woman looked quite excited. Before the staff handed the microphone to her, she already took it from the other party.

"I would like to ask Mr. Guo, the headline of "The Wall Street Journal" on March 28 questioned your Leiting Fund's exaggerated income in gold futures investment. What is your explanation for this? In addition, what is the minimum investment standard of Leiting Fund?"

"That's a tough question. Bruce, do you want an answer?" Oprah turned to ask.

"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded and picked up the microphone, "I don't want to say anything more about the Wall Street Journal's questioning. Because Leiting Fund is a private equity hedge fund, I am only responsible to my clients, not a The news media is in charge. In fact, up to now, the first batch of our Leiting clients has an additional fund rate of 100%, with more than 200 new clients. If we are really cheating, I don’t think they will continue to choose us. As for Leiting Fund’s The minimum investment standard is actually not as high as everyone thinks, as long as $100,000, you can become our client.”

"Mr. Guo...!"

"Sorry, lady. Time is a matter of time, and each guest has only one chance to ask questions." Oprah interrupted.

Although not reconciled, the other party did not break the rules of the show team, nodded and sat down.

"Second and third from the left, Mr. Glasses!"

This is a middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses, a plaid shirt, and a serious expression.

"Mr. Guo, do you think Argentina's debt crisis is likely to deepen? If so, what is the basis for your judgment?"

Guo Shouyun picked up the microphone and looked at the other party, "What's this gentleman's name?"

"Michael Barry!"

Guo Shouyun felt that the name was a bit familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it before, "Are you also a person in the financial industry?"

"Yes! Before 2000 I was a resident neuroscientist at Stanford University School of Medicine. I resigned in January and started my own capital management firm."

"Michael Barry!?"

A flash of light flashed in Guo Shouyun's mind, and he suddenly remembered the impressive subprime mortgage crisis in his previous life that had yet to happen.

Six years later, in the great crisis that plunged the world into recession, a handful of market-sighting geniuses made their fortunes. Among them were Michael Barry, Steve Eisman and John Paulson.

Of course, there are another few dozen others. But Guo Shouyun only remembered these three. Because he has seen the most descriptions of these three in the "The Big Short" movie and in the movie, he naturally left the deepest impression on him. Among the three, Michael Barry is the most important to him. Because compared to the latter two, the former neurologist is a true financial investment genius, especially in value investing, and has amazing foresight of the market.

From 1996 to 1999, he only regarded finance as an interest, and when he shared his investment experience and goals through a value investing group and blog, Fidelity Fund, Gotham Capital, White Mountain Company, Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street Many of the financial and insurance giants of his company have become frequent visitors to his website.

In the first year, 2001, two thousand years after he quit his job to start his own hedge fund, the S&P 500 fell 11.88%, but his hedge fund's net worth rose 55%. The following year, the S&P 500 fell another 22.1%, and his hedge fund bucked the trend and rose 16%. In 2003, the stock market successfully reversed, rising 28.69%, and Michael Barry won again, with his portfolio up 50%. Until the subprime mortgage crisis hit, in 2007, his hedge fund grew by 187%, an average increase of 31.17%, higher than Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway.

If Michael Barry hadn't limited the size of his fund, and he himself was a socially awkward, even withdrawn person, then his achievements would never be inferior to those of giants such as Soros, Julian Robertson, Ray Dalio, etc. .

Of course, Guo Shouyun can't quite remember the amazing achievements Michael Barry has achieved. But he knew that the man in front of him was a genius in financial investment. Therefore, after understanding who the other party is, the love and solicitation in his heart instantly became stronger!

After taking a deep look at the other party, Guo Shouyun thought carefully for a moment, organized the language and said, "I think the debt crisis in Argentina is still likely to deepen. The judgment is based on many aspects, including the growth rate of gross domestic assets, Unemployment rate, trade balance, interest rate, ratio of government debt to GDP, etc. Because of time constraints, it is not convenient for me to expand. If you are interested, you can leave your contact information and I will send a detailed information Give you!"

After the voice fell, many people in the field glanced back and forth between Michael Barry and Guo Shouyun. They clearly felt that the latter had a very different attitude towards the former.

Although Michael Barry is withdrawn, he is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart. Looking at the young man sitting on the stage with a smile and a hint of admiration in his expression. After thinking about it, he took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, tore off a piece of the inner lining, borrowed a pen from the side, and wrote his phone number on it.

"Trouble the staff to bring it for me~www.wuxiaspot.com~Thank you!" Guo Shouyun said.

A young female employee finished the job, and after thanking him again, Guo Shouyun took the note and glanced at it. He put this most crappy 'business card' he had ever seen in his suit jacket. pocket.

After doing all this gave Oprah a 'go on' look. The latter understood and quickly picked a young girl from the crowd.

"Bruce, I really like "Fifty Shades of Grey" you wrote. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Wow, Bruce, it seems that this beautiful female fan is very fond of you?" Oprah laughed.

Facing the ridicule, Guo Shouyun smiled and shook his head gently, "Thank you very much for your love, but I already have a girlfriend, I'm sorry!"

"Okay, thank you to all the viewers here today, as well as Bruce and Rowling, thank you. Today's "Oprah Talk Show" is all over here, thank you for watching. Let's look forward to more exciting content in the next issue !"

After Guo Shouyun finished speaking, Oprah decisively ended the recording of the entire show. Because she promised not to ask the privacy of the two, although the latter question was asked by the audience, she also has the responsibility to fulfill her promise. Besides, after the three questions have been asked, it is indeed time for the show to end.

After politely declining Oprah's invitation to have lunch together, the three of them left here together.

"Rowling, Neil, you all go back first, I still have something to deal with!"

The two of them didn't ask any further questions, nodded and then got in the car and left. After checking the time, Guo Shouyun took out the phone number from his jacket pocket and dialed it. It didn't take long to get connected.
