Chapter 164: All Crocodiles Gathered in Smith(2/3)
Everyone smiled and chatted for a few more words, and then they noticed a slight commotion at the reception.
The Big Four and Abel looked in the direction of the commotion.
At the entrance of the elevator, an old man with silver hair and a smile on his face was walking out of the elevator.
It was he who caused the commotion and public opinion among the people.
And he himself is indeed qualified to cause all this.
Because his name is Warren Buffett, the American stock god.
It has been used by the United States for more than ten years to decorate the new beacon of freedom in the world.
I saw Buffett who had just walked out at the elevator entrance.
Richard Fuld was a little surprised and said:
"Huh? Didn't Warren go to Tahiti to escape the cold? Did he come back early?"
Tahiti is the largest island in the Windward Islands of French Polynesia, located in the South Pacific.
It is warm as spring all year round and rich in products.
Residents call themselves "God's people", and international tourists consider this place to be "the closest place to heaven."
Buffett likes to vacation there in the winter.
It's no secret on Wall Street.
Abel was also a little surprised, because he remembered that he had not sent an invitation letter to the stock god.
The main reason is that there is no friendship between the two parties, and Buffett is a member of Wall Street.
But he is not based in New York, this guy lives in his hometown all year round.
Moreover, Buffett is better at prudent value investing, which is somewhat inconsistent with the overall aggressive style of Wall Street.
Compared with Buffett, Wall Street has become more radical.
Compared with Abel, Abel can no longer be said to be radical.
He is just hot-tempered and a gambler.
The investment styles of the two are even more completely different.
Buffett only plays value investing. Before Abel, he didn’t even play much in the US stock market.
The places where he cuts leeks are extremely risky.
Profits are also extremely high in the international foreign exchange market, precious metals market, and futures market.
"Ha~ Warren's favorite thing to do is value investing." Philip Purcell said with a smile:
"Perhaps in Warren's eyes, investing in Smith Capital is the best value investment."
This is probably the only explanation.
Otherwise, given Buffett's status on Wall Street and his lack of friendship with Abel.
It is unlikely to appear at this kind of cocktail party.
Things quickly went as Philip Purcell said.
After Buffett showed up, he just smiled and said hello to a few people he knew at the cocktail party.
After discovering their small circle, he walked over directly.
"Hi, everyone. Good evening. Oh, hello, Mr. Smith."
Buffett has silver hair, but is in excellent mental and physical condition.
Just like Paulson just now, he reached out in advance while being a few meters away from Abel.
This scene made 99% of the guests who were actually paying attention here feel a little numb.
Paulson is like this, Buffett is like this.
This Mr. Smith is so popular on Wall Street!
"Hello, Mr. Buffett." Abel had the same reaction as before. The red wine glass in his hand had already been handed over to the passing waiter.
He held Buffett's hands tightly and said politely: "Welcome to my cocktail party. Thank you very much for coming!"
"Haha~ Such an investment event. How could I not show up? Even if you didn't send me an invitation, Mr. Smith, I would still come shamelessly!" Buffett said with a laugh.
His words surprised everyone around him.
What exactly is the charm of this "Wolf of Wall Street"?
He actually let the stock god do it without being invited.
You don’t have to go all the way to participate.
Many people know that Buffett should be in the Tahiti Islands at this time.
He went there on vacation and it was in the news until last week.
Is this a special trip to give up the vacation, or is it ending the vacation early and rushing back to attend the cocktail party tonight?
Many people with sharp minds suddenly realized.
Tonight, Smith Capital's cocktail party seems to be very unusual.
"Ha~ This is our negligence." Abel smiled and said, "The main reason is that we were too busy some time ago."
Buffett showed a clear expression, released his right hand, and gave Abel a thumbs up:
"I know what you're doing. You've done a great job. The profit from just one investment is almost more than the profit I made last year plus this year!"
Like other giants.
There is no news on Wall Street that Buffett can't catch.
of.
The profit figures for Smith Capital speculated by the giants.
Buffett can also get a rough number through his people on the Big Four side.
Abel also knew that Buffett was talking about the fact that Smith Capital had made a lot of profits in the pound-based currency exchange some time ago.
There is little to no secrecy surrounding the company's transactions, and it seems like everyone on Wall Street knows about it.
He wasn't very angry.
Because this was the hole he left intentionally.
A way for Wall Street oligarchs to know the value of Smith Capital that they can see but cannot touch!
This is why David Mellon actually suggested to him to acquire or invest in one or two banks very early on.
But there was no reason why he hadn't taken action yet.
That's right, you have your own bank, or a bank you control.
When investing with Smith Capital, you can indeed achieve a certain degree of confidentiality and enhance confidentiality.
But that would make it difficult for the oligarchs to know the flow of Smith Capital's investment funds.
As a result, they will also make miscalculations about the speed at which Smith Capital makes money.
Then there is no way for them to surround us like great white sharks smelling blood like they did today.
Seeing Buffett's enthusiasm, Abel was not the only one to understand that he was interested in Smith Capital.
The surrounding oligarchs also know that Buffett will definitely join the competition.
This is obviously not good news for everyone.
It may be a good thing for Abel to have more people join.
But for them, it means that they may have to eat less meat and drink less soup.
Naturally they were unhappy.
But this is Buffett, and even if they are dissatisfied, they have no good way to deal with it.
The current Buffett has already taken shape.
Although it is not a consortium, it already has an influence that is no less than that of a consortium.
Especially when facing ordinary people, his influence is greater than that of the consortium.
When this influence was at its peak, all the stock gods needed to do was have lunch with someone.
Then the stocks of this person's listed company will skyrocket.
It's not that exaggerated now, after all, people have started auctioning lunches.
But for ordinary Americans, especially ordinary American leeks.
Buffett is their weathervane and their stock god.
Faced with such similar people, everyone can only hold their noses and admit that he has the qualifications to join.
