Chapter 466: See the President
At the end of the meeting, the old man told Shen Hui that Mr. Trump wanted to see him.
So, early the next morning, Shen Hui and his entourage went to Washington.
In the car, Huang Peipei was not excited, but quite nervous.
If I want to see the president, I don't know how to do it, especially if I can't understand English, I always feel that I will embarrass Boss Shen, so I don't want to go, but people even invited her, and it is not okay not to go, and I feel a lot of things.
After arriving in Washington, he was arranged at the Blair State Guesthouse, diagonally opposite the White House.
The ambassador to the United States accompanied him throughout the process and explained some matters that need to be paid attention to.
After having lunch and taking a break for a while, in the afternoon, Mr. Trump met with more than 10 Xinghai investment and business representatives headed by Shen Hui at the State Guesthouse, and he attended with his wife.
"Mr. Shen, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
The old man held Shen Hui's hand, his eyes burning, and he was very interested.
"Mr. President. ”
Shen Hui smiled modestly, but confidently.
What kind of feeling is that, maybe a little excited, but I haven't been excited when my mother gave two dollars of pocket money when I was a child, and if I think about it carefully, it has swelled too much in the past year, and there are few things that can make him particularly excited.
The president is hard to see, but there's nothing to be excited about.
In a country like Laomei and the United States, as long as the wealth reaches a certain level, it is not difficult to meet the president.
Mr. Trump is over 70 years old, but his spirit is very strong, holding Shen Hui's hand, and patting Boss Shen's shoulder, he said in his unique tone: "It is a big pity that a financial genius like Mr. Shen was not born in the United States." ”
Shen Hui smiled: "I also want to choose the place of reincarnation, but unfortunately God let me be born in China." ”
The old man laughed twice, and then introduced his wife, Lady Melania.
Shen Hui praised two sentences and also introduced his wife.
The two ladies exchanged a few words of praise, and then followed their respective men into the reception room.
Without a journalist, it was a private meeting.
Of course, the person who should be present must be present.
For example, ambassadors.
Mr. Trump is very talkative, his thinking is also imaginative, he is talking about finance, and suddenly he turned to the new crown, just said a few words about the impact of the new crown, and suddenly turned to art, and the speed of the change of thinking is a little overwhelming.
After saying a few words about art, I suddenly turned to the international situation.
As he spoke, he began to criticize again, and he felt that his emotions were like a bomb, very unstable.
No wonder some people scolded the old man for being mentally ill, he did have this tendency.
Shen Hui is all a stylized response, and long before he came, the think tank formulated a set of coping plans for him, including predictably being summoned by Mr. Trump, and communicating with the embassy in advance to ensure that there are no problems.
Trump really liked Boss Shen, and after chatting for half an hour, he asked him directly: "The United States is the center of the world and the global financial center, and a genius like Mr. Shen can only better display his talents in the United States, is he interested in moving to the United States?"
Shen Hui smiled: "Thank you, Mr. President, for your kindness, I will seriously consider your suggestion." ”
Then I went out and went to the business conference hall outside for a formal meeting.
It's a lively place, not only a lot of White House officials, but also reporters from all walks of life, a large area of long guns and short cannons, and there are also a lot of domestic media, with clicks and flashing lights blinding people's eyes.
This kind of official meeting is actually for people to see.
What I really wanted to say was already said in a private meeting before.
At the end of the meeting, Shen Hui returned to the collapse under the escort of the bodyguards.
It has been decided a long time ago to ignore all the reporters who come up and want to interview.
At this time, it is more dangerous to be interviewed by the media, and it is difficult to explain the past once something goes wrong.
In the afternoon, the Western media took the lead in issuing a report that under this special situation, the two countries are fighting in various ways, but President Trump met with financial predators from China at the state guesthouse, what is the meaning behind it?
The Western media is very unfriendly to capital from the East.
It's not good, the media has made malicious speculations about Xinghai Investment and Boss Shen.
There are even very excessive media listed a series of crimes of Xinghai Investment, such as shorting crude oil, gold, etc., calling on the government to increase its vigilance against Oriental Capital and requiring financial regulators to strengthen the control of offshore funds.
It is said that the United States flaunts freedom, which can be regarded as gaining knowledge.
It's also too liberating.
After night in Washington, the red sun rises in the east.
Not long after I got to work, someone saw a piece of news while browsing the news, President Trump and his wife met with Shen Hui, chairman of China Xinghai Investment, and his wife at the Blair State Guesthouse, and invited Boss Shen to buy a house in the United States......
Well, the common people don't care about this.
I saw it with concern, but I just sighed, Boss Shen became more and more bullish.
After meeting the president, Shen Hui returned to New York.
Wei Zongru was busy setting up the North American branch of Xinghai Investment, while Shen Hui frequently met with Wall Street bigwigs, led the team to contact Wall Street financial institutions, communicated many times on HSBC's problems, and at the same time had a preliminary exchange of views with Xinghai Securities on some issues related to the establishment of branches of Xinghai Investment in North America, and the results were not very satisfactory.
The appetite of the dog day is not small, and there are officials stirring shit in it.
Shen Hui was not in a hurry, he made contact for two days, and took Huang Peipei around to see the house.
This kind of thing can't be negotiated in a day or two, it's impossible in a few months, and it's normal to even talk about it for a year or two.
Take your time!
HSBC's problem is okay, after all, a consensus has been reached before.
The establishment of a branch in North America was not a big problem, and it was negotiated when it was on Hong Kong Island.
The difficulty is that Xinghai Securities enters the U.S. market, to say that the old American open financial system, want to get in is not a big problem, but the old American hooligans people all over the world know that it is easy to come in, and it is difficult to carry out business in peace and stability.
New York is the world's financial center, although I haven't paid attention to it, but the housing prices in New York should be the highest in the United States, and Boss Shen wants to buy a house, so he naturally can't look down on those ordinary mansions, and even ordinary villas, looking at a few villas that Zhang Jing entrusted an intermediary agency to find, Shen Hui bought a yard by the Hudson River for $160 million.
Covering an area of 30,000 feet, it's not big, but it's not small, the building is a bit old, the decoration style is not pleasant, you must pick it up again to live, the owner is a Wall Street billionaire, the kind that has never heard the name.
New York has a habit of building mansions on top of high-rise buildings.
Shen Hui also took a special tour, and he was not interested after reading it.
It's not much different from the house in Riverside Garden, at most it's a large pigeon cage.
Standing on the roof of the building can overlook the city scenery to the greatest extent, but when you reach the second floor of Boss Shen, do you still need to stand on the roof to see the scenery? It's still a good yard, but it's a pity that New York is too crowded, otherwise it must be good to buy a piece of land to build a big yard like Qinghe Garden.
After spending a week in New York, Shen Hui was invited to visit Warren Buffett's home.
The old man doesn't live in New York, nor in Washington, nor in Los Angeles, but spends most of the year in Omaha. Omaha is Nebraska's largest city and the most famous place in Nebraska.
I haven't paid attention to it before, but before I came to learn about it, I found that China and the United States are indeed very different in some concepts.
Omaha is Buffett's hometown, Xin's house has no walls, no iron gates, and no big yard, a small gray building, only three or five meters away from the roadside, compared with some villas in the surrounding neighborhoods, it does not show any luxury.
On the contrary, it feels a little shabby.
This is the old man's home.
It is said that Buffett will never abandon this small building, of course, he spent tens of thousands of dollars to buy this house, and he will live in it for more than half a century.
Who is rich and willing to live in a place where the poor gather?
At least Shen Hui hadn't seen it.
The touch is really great, it's not that the old man is thrifty or has a high realm, with his current age, he can't understand what kind of realm this old monster who has lived for 90 years is, but he feels that life should be wonderful, if you have money, you don't enjoy it, it's hard work, even if you want to live in your hometown, you have to build a big yard like Qinghe Garden to be comfortable.
I had a meal at the old man's house and discussed life and finance with the old man.
There is nothing to discuss in life, a young man under the age of thirty and a ninety-year-old monster to discuss life, how can it be a little inappropriate, the old man's mind is not suitable for young people, it is okay to discuss business.
The old man admits that investment never studies K-line charts and various curves.
Shen Hui told the truth, he couldn't understand the K-line chart and those complicated curves at all.
The old man was greatly surprised, and immediately became a confidant, regardless of age, purely from insight and thinking resonance, and after Shen Hui left, he posted a Facebook message, using a diary to describe the content of discussing business with Boss Shen.
After being captured, it immediately sparked heated discussions among the media and investors.
Everyone knows that Buffett doesn't look at K-line charts and various curves, but Boss Shen can't even understand K-line charts and curves, which is a bit ridiculous.
Who would dare to believe it?
What a bitch!
In June, shorting U.S. stocks triggered a circuit breaker mechanism, and many institutions and investors suffered heavy losses.
Isn't it even as good as a mentally handicapped child?
At the same time, there are also many people in China who pay attention to international information.
After some media people caught this news, they immediately wrote an advertorial with a picture and forwarded it, which attracted another wave of traffic.
Ordinary people don't care, and most people don't even know who Warren Buffett is.
If you know, you are surprised, not surprised that Boss Shen visited Buffett, after all, I have seen it before, the old man only visited China this year, and I have seen it in Shanghai, but I was surprised that this product actually said that I couldn't understand the K-line chart, look at this forced pretend, tsk......?
