Chapter 224: Goodbye Larry Ellison
Zheng Yan saw that Barty Morris had fallen into his trap, so he no longer covered it up, and just wanted to finalize the gambling contract quickly.
"Mr. Morris, I don't know how you think it's appropriate to judge the winner, as long as your conditions are not too harsh, I shouldn't object. ”
At this time, Barty Morris found that Zheng Yan was still determined, and couldn't help but doubt his decision, but the arrow was already on the string, and it would not work if he didn't send it.
"We all know that although oil futures have been stable for more than ten years, there will be occasional fluctuations, since you want to prove your vision, when let the yield to determine the winner, otherwise, just because luck produces a little income to judge you win, then I am too lost." ”
"In addition, in terms of time, we also have to set a deadline, and this bet must not last too long, let alone continue indefinitely, otherwise it will not make any sense. ”
Although Barty Morris did not say the criteria for judging, he also expressed his opinion. He believes that as long as the rate of return and time are limited, Zheng Yan will not have any chance.
"Mr. Morris, you just said that your investment returns in the past few years have been above 10 percent, and I think I am better than you. In this way, if the investment income of Yanhuang in oil futures is more than 30%, then I win, if it is less than 30%, I lose. As for the time, how about we limit it to two months?"
If Zheng Yan was judged by 10% of the gains, Barty Morris would still be a little worried, but with 30% of the gains, and it was only two months, he couldn't think of any possibility of Zheng Yan winning.
Not only Barty Morris, there were not a few investors present, and those investors who were just watching the excitement also felt that Zheng Yan was a little arrogant after hearing Zheng Yan's words. After all, no one is optimistic about oil futures at the moment, and Zheng Yan's actions invisibly slapped everyone present in the face. It's just that countless people regretted it because they didn't care about Zheng Yan's words, of course, that's all for later.
"Okay, as you say, now we can sign an agreement. ”
Barty Morris was afraid that Zheng Yan would regret it, so he agreed.
Originally, when Zheng Yan said the judging criteria, Bill Miller wanted to stop it, but the words were all spoken, even if he was not optimistic about Zheng Yan, he couldn't pull Zheng Yan's hind legs, and the most important thing is that Zheng Yan was not short of money, and a premium of ten percent was nothing to him.
After Zheng Yan signed the agreement with Barty Morris, he looked at Barty Morris with a smug face and thought: There is a time for you to cry!
"Zheng Yan, you are a little impulsive this time, do you know that in the entire investment world, what does a 30 percent return mean? And it is limited to two months. ”
Although the matter is a foregone conclusion, Bill Miller feels that he should still talk to Zheng Yan about his thoughts, this time it is nothing to suffer a loss, as long as he pays attention in the future.
"Bill, I don't think you should worry about Zheng Jun, but about that classmate of yours. Perhaps in two months, he will be fired from the company because of the VAM agreement. ”
Before Zheng Yan could speak, Miyuki Aso on the side interjected. Her trust in Zheng Yan is completely blind, and she never thought that Zheng Yan would have the possibility of losing. Of course, after this time, Bill Miller also became a loyal believer of Zheng Yan and never questioned Zheng Yan's decision again.
"Alright Bill, now that things are like this, I think what we need to do now is to trust Zheng Yan instead of questioning his decision. As you know, Barty can't cancel the bet. ”
Leonard, as the protagonist of today, naturally can't hide the emergency situation at the scene, he rushed over as early as when the two had a dispute, but he has not expressed his opinion, and now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he can't help but come out and say a word.
Although from a rational point of view, Leonard also felt that Zheng Yan had no chance of winning, but I don't know why, in his heart, he always felt that Zheng Yan would not lose, which is why he did not stand up to stop it in the first place.
When he first met Zheng Yan, Leonard was also shocked by Zheng Yan's conditions, but until today, Cisco was officially listed, which still proved that Zheng Yan's vision was right.
"Well, since everyone believes in Zheng Yan, then I won't say anything more, of course, just before the results come out. ”
As a successful stock investor, Bill Miller always analyzes problems from a rational point of view, at least before he understands that Zheng Yan cannot use common sense to analyze.
"Zheng Jun, it seems that you are very interested in Apple, so after the investment in oil futures is over, should I also buy some Apple shares?"
To say that among the people present, the most understanding Zheng Yan is, of course, Miyuki Aso. Some people may think that Zheng Yan is angry, so he will agree to the bet taken out by Barty Morris, after all, Apple's shares are not in demand at the moment. But Miyuki Aso is sure that Apple's potential must be limitless, otherwise Zheng Yan would not agree to this bet at all.
Zheng Yan is also very clear about Aso's thoughts, "Miyuki, I am indeed very optimistic about the future of Apple, but it is not the current Apple." ”
Zheng Yan saw that Aso Miyuki was full of doubts, so he continued: "You must also know that Jobs is the founder of Apple, although he also made some wrong decisions during his last term at Apple, but he is still the soul of Apple, I firmly believe in this. ”
"According to my original plan, if Jobs returns to Apple in the future, then I will buy Apple's shares at any cost, otherwise, I have no interest in Apple. The reason why I agreed to Barty Morris's bet this time was, on the one hand, that I was betting that Jobs would return to Apple one day. On the other hand, I definitely won't lose this bet, and in that case, it's not bad to make a little money by the way when sweeping oil futures. ”
Zheng Yan knows that now is not a good time to invest in Apple, instead of letting Miyuki Aso put her money in Apple, it is better to follow herself to make some other investments, at least the assets will increase faster.
Miyuki Aso has always believed in Zheng Yan's words, so she will no longer continue to dwell on this issue, she believes that if there is a suitable investment opportunity, Zheng Yan will not forget herself.
Just as a few people were chatting, Leonard came over again, and with him was Larry Ellison, but the current Larry Ellison was not as high-spirited as the last time they met.
