The attribute of fear of death is not exclusive to Abel.

Really reach a certain level and become a truly wealthy person.

It can be said that there is no one who is not afraid of death and does not pay attention to his own security work.

This is especially true for the rich in the United States!

The most typical example is Soros.

Around Lao Suo, there are people in the same class who are rumored to be working around him.

The reason is Soros, who is still the financial sword of Wall Street to this day.

Many times, it doesn't matter whether Lao Suo wants it or not.

Lao Suo will be pushed by the people behind him, even directly the White House, to invade small countries financially.

The numerous crimes Lao Suo committed in the financial war.

It was enough for the countries he had invaded financially to launch physical and personal counterattacks against him.

You will know if Lao Suo dares to go to Southeast Asia.

This is also the reason why Soros’ security work has those special staff.

People are really fighting for their country!

Even this "country" is often just a representative of the capitalists.

Compared with him, Abel and Buffett are much more normal.

"Hi, good afternoon. Warren~"

After last year’s Smith Investment Reception.

Abel and Buffett have become friends.

There is no righteousness in buying and selling.

At that time, although Buffett did not successfully invest in Smith Capital.

But the two of them had quite a good conversation at the time, and their relationship naturally got better.

"Good afternoon." The old guy said with a smile, "You guys have been on the West Coast for a long time. Hollywood has been disturbed by you for so long. People who don't know think you are really an entertainment tycoon, forgetting that you are

The youngest giant on Wall Street."

"I'm not a giant." Abel smiled: "My head circumference is so standard, how can I be "big"?"

"Hahaha~" Buffett laughed in a dignified manner.

As a stock god, few people tell such boring homophonic jokes in front of him.

And with Abel's current status, it is obvious that he can start to be on an equal footing with him.

Even if the influence is slightly worse, the wealth may be lower.

But being equal is enough.

What's more, Buffett has spent thirty-five years accumulating this wealth.

And Abel is less than two years old!

In two years, he saved 70% or 80% of Buffett's net worth.

This speed is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented.

"I know you are a guy who never engages in boring social interactions."

Abel had coffee in his hand, but he didn't drink it.

This is what Buffett ordered for him.

As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was the cheap coffee in this cafe.

In addition, this has not been inspected by bodyguards and has not been confirmed to be safe.

When outside, Abel would not enter at will.

He looked at Buffett: "Otherwise, you guys wouldn't have put Berkshire Hathaway in that little place in Omaha."

"So let's be frank. Warren, what exactly do you want to see me for?"

Buffett was not surprised by Abel's directness.

The last time I was in New York, the stock god had already seen Abel’s directness in many aspects.

In fact, this is the same as most Americans, including the upper class elites in the United States.

Because we have never learned about moderation or euphemism, we are often so direct.

The stock god took a sip of the coffee, then put it down and said, "Do you want to join American Express?"

Abel raised his eyebrows, neither surprised nor surprised by Buffett's question.

The surprise was because he did not expect that Buffett would directly chat with him and drink coffee because of the American Express incident.

Not surprisingly, Abel knows that Buffett attaches great importance to American Express.

In parallel time and space.

Since Buffett bought shares in American Express, he has always been heavily invested in American Express, and this was the case until Abel crossed over.

This makes Buffett the major shareholder of American Express.

And now, Buffett ranks first on the list of American Express shareholders.

But Smith Capital, which ranks fourth, and American Pacific Bank of Commerce, which ranks fifth.

The combined shares of the two companies already exceed Buffett's 11.4%.

As Americans know, the two companies appear to be independent.

But there is only one boss behind them.

In other words, just note the percentage of American Express shares held by these two companies.

Then you can find it.

Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway is no longer the largest shareholder of American Express.

The largest shareholder of American Express has been replaced.

It was Abel who was sitting in front of Buffett at this time.

"Why is there such a problem?" Abel responded with a smile:

"You are optimistic about American Express, and I am also optimistic about American Express."

"After all, it is also one of the constituent stocks of Dow Jones. I think such a high-quality company is worth holding for a long time, so I will naturally buy its shares."

His explanation did not satisfy Buffett.

"I'm studying you."

Buffett said softly:

"The information I have researched shows that if the company you invest in has a shareholding ratio of more than 10%, it will be slowly cannibalized by you and eventually become your property."

Abel responded: "I will invest in

How many companies are there? Maybe not even one-tenth of yours? With such little data, how can we make statistics? And what truth can be compared?"

Buffett smiled.

"But more importantly, American Express's business and your American Pacific Bank of Commerce complement each other wonderfully."

"If we could merge Pacific Commercial Bank and American Express."

"The merged bank can make you one of the real giants immediately."

"I think this must be a very big temptation for you."

Seeing Buffett's confident look, Abel knew that people could come to him.

That means you are definitely thinking this way.

And I actually thought so too.

Abel simply showed his cards.

"Okay. Then why did you come to me? Warren, you're not coming to me just to persuade me to quit the board of directors of American Express, are you?" Abel spread his hands and looked at Buffett.

"$300 billion, I want 5% of the shares."

Buffett suddenly said: "I will satisfy you with shares of American Express and Berkshire, as well as some cash."

Abel raised his eyebrows again, he knew what Buffett was talking about.

His response is also very quick.

"Four thousand.4%."

"Yes. But the gambling agreement must be changed to 150,300,500,700."
