'Three Million Dollar Lunch'

With a picture, a photo of an elegant gentleman and a personable nobleman.

Shen Jiannan, the "king of investment", recently donated a unique lot at a charity auction at Linton Manor.

According to reports, Shen Jiannan will auction his lunch at most once a year, and the winning bidder can bring up to six friends to have lunch with him, which will last about three hours.

In the end, the lunch was won by Stephen Ann, the manager of Grand Investment Asset Management.

Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Yixing Foundation, a Los Angeles-based charity.

Founded in 1963 by Situ Jie, a Chinese-American charity, the Foundation has distributed $5.2 million to help the poor and homeless in California.

Shen Jiannan: Chairman of the First International Capital Research Association, shareholder of Jiuding Bank Group.

A few months ago, he accurately predicted the Finnish mark crisis, and then accurately predicted the risk of depreciation in the Italian lira and the Spanish peseta, and warned the Bank of England in the early stage of the depreciation of the pound.

Due to its precise and unique vision and judgment, First International Capital made a profit of one billion dollars in the depreciation of the Finnish mark.

Not long ago, the pound depreciated sharply, and First International Capital, led by currency investment, made a wild profit of $4 billion.

On the cover, Shen Jiannan used to appear with a photo of Chena Kanovsky and Yulia Sidorov in her arms.

First International Capital Shen Jiannan recently auctioned his lunch at a charity auction held at Linton Manor, the largest lunch auction per year, by Stephen Ann, the manager of Grand Investment Asset Management.

He will be able to bring up to six friends to lunch with the 'Son of Finance' for about three hours.

The ultimate beneficiary of the auction is the Yixing Foundation, a Los Angeles-based charity founded in 1963 by Chinese sculptor Situ Jie to help the homeless and unemployed in Los Angeles and California.

......

"God, three million dollars for lunch, what the hell do these rich people think?"

McDonald's, Brown Street, New York.

A middle-aged man with cheeks nibbled on a hamburger and looked at the newspaper in his hand and said in disbelief.

He couldn't understand why someone could sell for three million dollars for a single lunch.

And here, he's munching on a five-piece broken hamburger.

"George, what do these damn rich people eat? Golden caviar? Or alien burgers?"

"Stupid. How do rich people eat these things, I used to see the lives of rich people when I was in Boston, and the food they ate was the most precious. Can you imagine where the best piece of meat on tuna is?"

"They just eat fish?"

"Of course not, their cutlery is made of gold, which is why it's expensive. You can't imagine how luxurious the life of the rich is, with their cutlery made of gold and the rare seafood from the deep sea, but it's not the most expensive. The reason why it is really expensive is that they will invite many, many stunning stunners for dinner. ”

"Sixteen, you would never have dreamed that there would be sixteen stunning girls at a dinner. ”

". These damn rich people are just too good at enjoying it. ”

“......”

At the same time.

Empire State Building Chen Kee Hot Pot Restaurant.

Shen Jiannan used chopsticks to hold it in a pot with a charcoal fire.

A layer of red chili oil floats in the stainless steel pot, and the steaming heat hits the face, and the spicy is filled with a strong fragrance.

The soup is made of large bones, with a rich white aroma and an attractive taste.

The chef's knife work is very good, the large pieces of Wagyu beef are cut into thin and transparent, a piece is sandwiched in the pot for a few seconds and fished out, dipped in the secret sauce of the store, and the bite is spicy, numb and does not feel any greasy, and it melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of flavor.

Beef is the highest grade of Wagyu cattle regulated by the USDA, and only two percent of cattle produce it.

It can be seen that the fat and lean meat penetrate each other between each piece of meat, and the cross-section presents a red and white pattern, which is delicate and delicate, and it is breathtaking.

It's almost like a work of art.

It is said that these cattle grow in a luxurious environment, eating a natural feed made from a mixture of barley, soybean cake, and wheat bran every day, and massaging them with red wine to promote blood circulation to evenly out the subcutaneous fat.

When it comes to top-quality Wagyu beef, even those who have never eaten it will think of the name Kobe beef.

Thanks to its artistic quality, Kobe beef is popular not only in Japan but also in the international market.

Kobe cattle are produced in Hyogo Prefecture, Kansai, and are highly certified, and can only be named Kobe if they meet a thoroughbred Tajima cattle pedigree, a non-nulliar cow or a neutered bull, a fattening breeder by a designated producer in the prefecture, and a beef grade of 4 or higher.

More than 5,000 head of cattle enter the market every year, but only about half of them can be classified as Kobe beef, which is only 0.6% of the Japanese beef market.

Although American Wagyu does not have the same excellent meat quality as Moto Wagyu, it is cheaper.

Shen Jiannan ate very refreshingly.

Winter in the United States came relatively early, and although winter had just begun, the ubiquitous chill could already be felt. Especially if it rains lightly, if you wear a little thin, the cold wind can make you shiver.

In this season, swallowing a mouthful of steaming beef can immediately drive away the cold of winter, and make people feel as if the pores of the whole body are open.

Moreover, the materials are particular and the price is not expensive.

A plate of wagyu beef with a secret sauce costs $100, and 20 ounces of lobster tail meat costs $30.

The most rare thing is that there is also Moutai sent from China, only 100 dollars a bottle.

"Ahh

"Oh-"

"Ahem, ahem—"

“......”

Opposite Shen Jiannan, Teng Lampu seemed to have drunk a barrel of soju, his whole face was red, sweating profusely, and he kept baring his teeth and grinning.

Without swallowing a mouthful of food, he was like a warrior who died generously, and the muscles of his whole body collapsed.

Hot!

It's so spicy.

But he couldn't say it.

Stephen Ann was sweating profusely as if he was taking a shower and didn't scream, and Roe Wayne didn't squeak as if he had fallen into the stove, how could he be ashamed.

Looking at Shen Jiannan again, a deep admiration arose.

Such spicy food, this guy actually eats it with relish without changing his face.

Could it be that this is the spicy and spicy food that makes you a master?

After eating for a long time, Shen Jiannan felt that his whole body was unobstructed, and his limbs and hundreds of bones felt comfortable everywhere.

Recently, I've been eating Western food, and I'm about to fade out of my mouth.

It's rare that this restaurant actually maintains the classic domestic hot pot flavor, all of which are chili peppers and peppercorns shipped from China, and it is really enjoyable to eat.

After a long time, Shen Jiannan raised his head and saw several people around him with red faces, red ears and sweating, and almost laughed.

Obviously, except for Browning in the investment department of Mobil Bank, no one else can eat chili peppers at all.

Suddenly, this guy had a bad taste.

"Guys, the food in this shop is good, isn't it?"

Not bad your sister!

Ahem –

Tenglamp was about to say something, but just as he was about to speak, a spicy smell with heat choked directly into his trachea, causing him to cough violently.

In the end, he was born in a famous family, and even at such a time, Tenglamp maintained sufficient etiquette.

Holding the napkin on the table, with his head facing under the table, he did not lose the cultivation of a gentleman at all.

If it weren't for coughing up so hard that I coughed up my nose and tears.

Seeing Tenglampe's heart-rending cough, Stephen Ann, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly grabbed the white bottle on the table and poured a full glass of clear liquid.

"Mr. Tenglamp, I think you need this. ”

Feeling like he was going to be coughed to death, his mouth was dry and blood was rushing to his head, and when he saw the water handed by Stephen Ann, he quickly grabbed it and poured it down.

Comfortable.

The choked pepper was probably taken down, and Tenglamp immediately stopped coughing.

But....... Why does it feel like it's not wine?

My God!

What exactly am I drinking?

A burning sensation like fire suddenly surged from his stomach, and in an instant, it began to spread to the limbs and bones.

It's hot, it's too hot.

Tenglamp could no longer care about his image, and violently ripped off the tie around his neck.

"Mr. Tenglamp, are you alright?"

As the host of this lunch, Shen Jiannan had to ask with concern.

Now Tenglampu's whole face is like a boiled hemp shrimp, red all the way to the base of the neck, and it looks really scary.

Shen Jiannan had to worry about what would happen if this guy drank to death like this.

"Oh, it's fine. This wine is really good. ”

How can you speak so smartly?

It's not a loss to understand the king,

Looks like I can't die.

Shen Jiannan put a heart in his stomach, and kindly asked the waiter to pour a glass of water for Teng Lanpu, and picked up the cup in his hand.

"Thank you for your generosity and great kindness in making the lives of those in California who are experiencing hardship better. ”

It has been said that Americans never talk about business at the dinner table.

Some people also say that in the West, there is no such thing as toasting in terms of culture.

The above is pure nonsense.

Shen Jiannan raised his glass, and everyone present picked up the wine glass poured by the waiter and stretched it to the middle.

What are you kidding, spending so much money to eat, isn't it just to wait for this time?

Spit out the truth after drinking.

As long as you get the guy in front of you drunk, you will definitely reveal more valuable information about him.

Ping Pong –

Seven wine glasses collided.

Shen Jiannan smiled with a strange look on his face, and smothered the wine in one go.

The others followed suit and swallowed the wine into their stomachs.

Hot!

It's too spicy!

The liquor is mixed with the chili oil of the hot pot, and the spicy taste is multiplied, and when you take a sip, your stomach is hot and almost burns.

A violent dizziness came.

Roe Wayne propped up the table and exaggeratedly praised, "Oh God." It's so powerful, I've never had a wine so strong and so delicious. ”

Sycophants.

Tenglamp scolded inwardly, his face red and his ears showed a proud look, and he shook his head and looked like a proud ostrich.

"No one knows more about alcohol than I do. In my opinion, this must be the best wine in the world, it must be very expensive!"

Shen Jiannan smiled silently, and as the waiter filled the wine, he said abusively:

"If Mr. Tenglamp likes it, he might as well have another drink. ”

Why am I so cheap?

Tenglamp wanted to slap himself.

To be honest, he felt that he was probably already drunk, and if he drank it again, he would probably have to look foreign.

But......

Looking at Shen Jiannan's eyes, under the condensation of those eyes, he could only pick up the wine glass on the table.

Gollum –

A glass of wine was down, and a violent dizziness came.

Damn it!

Tenglamp felt a blur in front of him, and there seemed to be a lot of more people.

Shen ...... Sink...... Mr. I don't know...... Real estate, are you interested in investing in real estate in New York?"

Plop –

As soon as he finished speaking, Tenglamp's head was dizzy, his legs were weak, and he collapsed directly on the chair.

This......

Several people around looked at each other, and some of them were already silent and put down the wine glass in their hands.

Tenglamp is a real estate tycoon, he often socializes, and the amount of alcohol must be very good, and he was directly put down by two glasses of wine......

Fortunately, Shen Jiannan didn't mean to pour alcohol on people anymore, which made a few people relax a lot, otherwise they would really be poured down, and this expensive lunch would be equivalent to eating

With the help of the waiter in the restaurant, Tenglamp was sent into the guest room of the Empire State Building, and this guy contributed more than 400,000 US dollars, and Shen Jiannan did not hesitate to rent a presidential suite for him.

Soon, the wine and food were full, and desserts, fruits and tea were delivered.

Luo Wayne seized the opportunity to be the first to ask: "Mr. Shen, I admire your vision of investment very much, and I believe that even if Mr. Morgan is reborn, he will not have more accurate judgment than you." Do you think Apple is worth the investment?"

This is a very tricky question, and it is also a very breakthrough problem.

As a major shareholder of Apple, he spent so much money to invite Shen Jiannan to dinner, logically speaking, Shen Jiannan is of course not good to say that Apple is not good.

As long as he says that Apple has investment value, even if he doesn't really invest, all he needs is publicity, and with his position in the financial market, Apple's collapsed stock price may stop falling and rebound.

Rowe Wayne trusts his own judgment.

The man who defeated the Bank of England, a demon from the East, this name is terrible.

In this regard, Shen Jiannan knew it, picked up a piece of salad and nibbled on it, looked at Roe Wayne with interest, and admired this capital elite who drove Jobs away.

But admiration is admiration, how to do it is another matter.

"Mr. Wayne. You know, I'm a speculator, and when it comes to investing, that's not what I'm good at. ”

As soon as these words came out, Luo Wayne's face suddenly became ugly.

He spent more than $400,000 in order to use Shen Jiannan's soaring reputation to stabilize the company's stock price, but this answer was meaningless.

Damn Stephen, this idiot.

With such a large sum of more than 400,000 dollars, but not getting the desired result, Wayne was both angry and resentful.

He just compared an OK, Stephen Ann idiot, and he directly quoted three million dollars.

Shen Jiannan's eyes were introverted, but his heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, ridiculing the characters who should be the pride of the sky in this era, which is really interesting.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

He doesn't like to be taken advantage of.

Even if they are actually using each other, he doesn't like to take the initiative in the hands of others.

And now...... Roe Wayne is clearly lacking in confidence.

"But I think if First International Capital invests in Apple, it will have a lot of investment value. ”

These words are two sentences.

If I invest in your company, your company has investment value, and if I don't invest in your company, your company is worthless.

Arrogant.

Whoever hears this will feel very arrogant.

But Roe Wayne couldn't find any reason to refute it.

He only understood one truth, any conspiracy and trickery were meaningless under absolute strength.
