Chapter 145: The Middle East Stock God(2/3)
"Actually, it's all their nonsense. I have no investment skills at all."
"It's just that my capital is relatively sufficient, and I only focus on buying stocks of big companies."
"Because big companies are not prone to bankruptcy and losses, this allows me to earn
Got some money."
Walid's words made Abel feel that he was an honest person.
If this guy really thinks he is "Desert Buffett" and will do whatever he wants if he has talent.
Then I guess Wall Street has long wanted to teach him how to behave.
This has not happened so far, and he has become the largest individual shareholder of Citigroup.
This proves that, to some extent, Wall Street has regarded this desert guy as one of its own.
At the very least, they are people outside the circle.
It may not be taken seriously, but it will not be targeted by the circle.
When someone on Wall Street eats meat, he can also drink soup with him or smell the soup.
And such a guy from the desert can get this kind of treatment in Wall Street, the land of the Americans and Jews.
I don’t know what I paid for it, I must have burned a lot of money.
Thinking this, Abel smiled and said:
"Okay. This is indeed a wise approach. In addition, having strong capital is also a kind of strength."
"only"
Abel changed the subject. He looked at Walid with a smile and said:
"Mr. Walid, why did you see me?"
"You don't want to ask me about my investment secrets, do you?"
"If you really want to ask me, I can only say it's intuition."
"I think whichever stocks I can buy will appreciate in value. That's my thing."
Abel's words made Walid feel that the rumors about this man in Wall Street were indeed true.
It's really quite individual.
Walid smiled and said: "Of course not. I want to see you this time, Mr. Smith, mainly because I want to sell you something."
"Oh?" Abel raised his eyebrows.
"3% of News Corporation's shares are priced at US$1 billion. Mr. Smith, are you interested?"
For 3% of News Corp., Abel said that of course he was interested.
The current News Corporation is almost ranked among the top three in the industry in the United States and even around the world.
This is a behemoth with a current market value of approximately US$40 billion.
In addition to being Citigroup’s largest individual shareholder, Walid.
He is also the second largest shareholder of News Corporation.
Besides Rupert Murdoch, he is the richest man who controls the most shares of News Corporation.
"News Corporation is a high-quality company. Its market value is at least US$40 billion. 3% should be US$1.2 billion. At this price, many people should want it in the market."
Abel said calmly: "Mr. Walid, what do you mean?"
Shares worth US$1.2 billion were sold to themselves for US$1 billion.
Let yourself make two hundred million in vain.
This means that Walid has no plans or ideas.
Abel absolutely didn't believe it.
Walid probably didn't expect Abel to be so direct. Buffett in the desert was stunned.
After a few seconds, Walid continued to smile and said:
"Okay. Let me tell the truth. One is that I feel very sorry that I failed to join Smith Capital's private equity last time."
"I hope that Smith Capital can join in the next time it launches a private placement."
"It's just this." Abel replied: "If it's this, it's okay, but I think it should be more than this, right?"
Desert people are extremely wealthy and have always been generous.
Such LPs (investors) have always been Wall Street's favorite type.
"Forehead"
Walid paused and looked up at Charlize Theron.
At this moment, Charlize had recognized the identity of the person in front of him.
Prince Waleed is not a little transparent person with no reputation in the United States.
He also often appears on various entertainment shows in the United States
The super rich who enjoy the news.
In particular, the affair between Walid and his current wife is often reported in the newspapers in the United States.
Charlize Theron knows that this is a super rich man, and this is how the super rich see themselves now.
She was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Walid probably had something to say to Abel.
But if you are worried about being here, you have to go out on your own.
Charlize subconsciously stood up and wanted to leave.
But Abel grabbed him and forced him to sit down again.
Abel smiled and said to Walid: "Ha~ Mr. Walid. I don't think our words are so secretive that we need to avoid Chani. She is a woman I trust."
This sentence made Walid a little shocked, and also made Charlize feel strange in his heart.
His woman.
Is this how I position myself in his mind?
Isn't it just an agreement?
She thought so in her heart.
More or less, Charlize still felt that she had received a little respect.
Walid smiled bitterly and said, "Okay. In that case, let me tell you straight. Mr. Smith, I heard that you are from Texas."
"That's right." Abel grabbed Charlize's hand with one hand and played with it. He wanted to know what medicine Buffett in this desert area was selling in the gourd.
"Then I'd like to treat a Texan to a meal. I wonder if you can help introduce him?"
Abel raised his eyebrows and looked at Walid.
"who?"
Walid whispered a name.
After reading, Walid also took a special look at Charlize Theron.
Sure enough, Walid saw a surprised and shocked expression on the latter's face.
When hearing this name, Abel remained calm on the surface.
But in his mind, he also quickly analyzed Walid's purpose.
It's obvious.
Buffett in this desert area must have smelled something.
I came to visit the pier in advance.
Who said that, he actually has little presence on Wall Street and the East Coast.
The main influence is in the South and Texas.
But he immediately realized that even people like Walid knew which side he could contact through himself.
Then my relationship with their family should basically be announced among this class.
What's the relationship?
We were barely family friends before.
If I could join the Texas Consortium, it would be a real world-wide diplomatic relationship.
Thinking of this, Abel answered readily:
"Mr. Walid, I can help you send a message there. But I am not involved in the specific matter."
"In addition, I also want 3% of News Corporation's shares. But I don't want one billion dollars. Just follow the current market conditions."
