Chapter 343 The Birth of the Smith Consortium(2/3)
"I'm sorry, I was so shocked. But I really wanted to make sure."
"."
Little Laura didn't care about other people, and she didn't see many unnecessary expressions on Paige's face.
This made little Laura a little disappointed, but when faced with the questions from the girls, she smiled and pointed to the male guests.
"Look there. Gentlemen and gentlemen, their reaction over there is the most real."
Little Laura's words drew everyone's attention and attention to the male guests at the reception.
At this time, Soros, like many others, opened the invitation and looked at the numbers on it.
George had already discovered this problem when he was in the elevator hall outside just now.
He had some doubts at the time, but he did not expect that the number [$458] would actually be 45.8 billion U.S. dollars.
is Smith Capital’s profit this year.
In other words, Smith Capital has actually plotted their profits this year in their invitation letter this year.
But no one knew that Smith Capital’s profits this year would be so exaggerated.
Just now, no one would have thought that this number was actually a company’s annual profit!
Soros took a deep breath and looked at Tims, who was also shocked.
"Tims, tell me," Soros said in a low voice, "are the combined profits of Soros Fund Company and Quantum Fund this year so much?"
Tims smiled bitterly.
"BOSS. This is difficult. I don't think so. As of October, Soros Fund's profit was US$3.25 billion. I don't know about Quantum Fund, but it should not exceed US$5 billion, because last year Quantum Fund
The profit is five billion dollars."
"Quantum Fund hasn't made any big moves this year. I think it's probably just this kind of profit."
It’s not that Quantum Fund didn’t make big moves this year, but in its biggest move this year, it not only didn’t make much money.
Instead, Soros wasted several months and even lost millions of dollars.
Timms did not dare to speak out directly about this matter, which was a relatively rare failure of the boss.
Tims had no choice but to say it indirectly and somewhat tactfully.
Soros couldn't help but rub his eyes. He didn't know whether it was because the contact lenses were uncomfortable, or because he was in a bad mood.
Compared with Tims, when he was in London, he saw Abel operating Soros on London Gold.
To be honest, he didn't have too much doubt about Smith Capital's profit figure.
Soros remembers that time when Abel made a fortune of almost four billion U.S. dollars in the international financial capital market in just one afternoon.
Subsequently, the Norwegian krone was involved in a cut of at least tens of billions of dollars.
The total of these two profits that Soros knew about alone exceeded 15 billion US dollars.
For the whole year, the total profit was more than 40 billion US dollars.
Soros doesn't think this is a lie.
What's more, this is just a simple total value report. There will definitely be a complete financial report for investors and investors to see later.
This number can deceive people, but in the complete financial report, it is not that easy to deceive people.
Someone will definitely contact a company like PricewaterhouseCoopers to do some accounting.
These top professional people can easily figure out whether Smith Capital and Abel lied!
Thinking of this, Soros knows this number and it is probably true.
In Soros's view, those who can make money are especially good at making money, and can make many times more money than most people.
This was Abel's greatest reliance.
It was impossible for Abel to lie in this regard, because if Abel had lied in this regard and been exposed.
The consequences will definitely be serious and will cause Abel's current golden body to be broken.
As long as Abel knew this, Soros felt that he would not mess around.
Soros thought of his interactions with Abel and his observations when he was in London.
This well-known representative of the Oilers in the financial community believes that Abel will not lie and deceive people in this regard.
Soros took a deep breath and couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
He said to Timms: "This data is probably true. In other words, Abel Smith and his Smith Capital have made five times the profits of my two companies in this year! Farke, Farke
!”
Speaking of which, Soros, the oily guy who was forbidden from swearing by his dogma, couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
Tims felt very sad and felt very much the same as his boss.
At this time, Abel, who was surrounded by the crowd and receiving the enthusiastic attention of everyone, kept smiling and his expression seemed calm.
At this moment, not far away, the big donkey and the giant elephant, the two giants of Capitol Hill, came over.
Amid the somewhat fanatical discussions on Wall Street and the wealthy, the deputy to the owner of the White House, President of the Senate, and Vice President of the United States, Richard Bruce Cheney.
He smiled and extended his hand to Bloomberg, who was standing next to Abel and was smiling the whole time.
"Congratulations, Michael." Richard reached out to him affectionately: "You have won."
Bloomberg was stunned and subconsciously shook Cheney's hand.
He is still congratulating himself for deciding to invest in Smith Capital at the beginning of the year.
Bloomberg, who holds 4% of Smith Capital's shares, is one of the happiest vested interests present, along with Buffett and Sullivan.
Suddenly seeing Vice Commander Cheney say this to him, Bloomberg was stunned for a moment.
Then Richard Gephardt, the minority leader of the House of Representatives and one of the big donkeys, smiled and extended his hand to him:
"Congratulations, Michael Mark has just decided to admit defeat."
I also shook hands with one of the representatives of the Donkey Party.
Bloomberg finally knows what's going on.
There was joy on his face and he said softly: "Mr. Gephardt, is what you just said true? Has Mr. Mark Green admitted it?"
Richard Gephard shrugged, and although he felt a little unhappy, he still said gracefully:
"Yes. We lost this time in New York. But we will win it back in four years, I hope you understand that."
"Ha!" Deputy Commander Cheney said immediately, "That's impossible. Richard, if Michael can beat you once, he can beat you again!"
"Hehehe" Richard Gephardt replied with a fake smile.
people around this circle.
At this time, through the dialogue between the donkey and the elephant, and Bloomberg, I understood one thing.
That is this year's New York election, which should be the victory of Michael Bloomberg.
Listen to what Richard Gephardt said to Cheney just now.
It was the candidate from the Donkey Party who admitted defeat and announced his withdrawal.
This was considered a tradition before the elephant and the donkey were separated.
That is when elections are held on both sides, when one side is in sight of victory.
After the other party sees that their efforts are ineffective, they will announce congratulations to the other party in the media and admit that they have lost the election. They will appear polite and gentlemanly.
Now it seems that Mark Green saw that there was no hope of victory and took the initiative to withdraw.
So after today's day, Bloomberg has led Mark Green by 150,000 votes.
Naturally, he was successfully elected as the next mayor of New York City and can take office after January next year.
Abel also realized this, and he looked at Bloomberg who was surprised.
Abel thought for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Bloomberg's hand and raised it.
Then the chairman of Smith Capital loudly announced to the guests present:
"Everyone! Everyone, look over here, look over here. Look at this Mr. Michael Bloomberg next to me. Many of you should know him. He is the founder and chairman of Bloomberg."
"But today, I'm announcing Mr. Bloomberg's alter ego."
"Mr. Bloomberg's new identity is that he has become our new mayor next year. Everyone, how about we applaud our new mayor together?"
As soon as Abel finished speaking, the two Davids and people from Smith Capital immediately took the lead in applauding.
Ted Lerner and Barron Hilton were a little slow to react, but they immediately started applauding.
Seeing this, the guests at the cocktail party all put down their wine glasses, followed Abel's suggestion, and all applauded.
Amidst the huge applause, Bloomberg, who was extremely surprised, turned around and gave Abel a fierce hug——
"Thank you, thank you, dear Abel, my dearest friend! Thank you very much, and thank you all! As the new public servant of New York, I will definitely work hard to serve all citizens of New York during my term of office, and bring beauty and peace to all.
