"Ping," Ma Ling called softly, and did not speak again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I'm attending a celebration banquet at McDonald's headquarters, are you okay?" Feng Yiping understood what she meant, if it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone, she would probably hang up immediately.

"We saw it, congratulations," Ma Ling's voice became louder, "I called you because, John said he had two good gains,"

So that's what happened.

No wonder she made a rare call to herself.

For Ma Ling, what she hopes to see most now is that her father can improve the relationship with Feng Yiping.

Of course, like ordinary fathers-in-law and sons-in-law, she also knows that it is unrealistic, but at least she should not be a stranger, or John can be less hostile to Feng Yiping.

For Vincent, every time the relationship between John and Feng Yiping improves even a little, it is a very gratifying thing.

"Although he didn't say it explicitly, I could hear that he wanted to express his gratitude," Ma Ling smiled happily.

Families in the United States generally invest in stocks, and businessmen like John are even more so.

Ma Ling listened to Feng Yiping's advice, and since the first half of the year, he has bought most of the idle funds into Apple shares, and now it seems that the return is very gratifying.

During a casual conversation, John learned about this situation, and then took it to heart, it should be another detailed study of Feng Yiping's well-documented business decisions, and then, last time, when the public was generally not optimistic about his acquisition of Coin Star, he tentatively bought some Coin Star shares.

The final result was that he regretted his caution a little, and Feng Yiping's series of operations pulled the stock price of Coin Star to his purchase price at a premium of nearly 40%.

That is, in a short period of time, he tested the water once, and the income exceeded 30%!

Then he had confidence, and after this time Coin Star and McDonald's announced their intention to cooperate, he did not hesitate to buy the shares of both sides, and as a result, sure enough, the stocks on both sides rose.

Although it is not as high as before, these two tests of the water fully illustrate one thing, as long as Feng Yiping makes a move, it is a stable and high return.

At least judging from Feng Yiping's previous and current records, every time he makes a move, no matter what he does, he is sure that it will be successful.

And even Warren Buffett, who is known as the god of stocks, now has failed to invest in American Airlines, Dexter Shoes, Salomon Brothers, HK Department Store, etc., of course, his most well-known failure should be the source of his current company's name, Berkshire Hathaway Cotton Mill.

Therefore, what Ma Ling did not say to Feng Yiping on the phone this time was that John not only vaguely expressed his appreciation and gratitude to "that guy", but also vaguely asked about Ma Ling's plans.

John's thoughts, Ma Ling automatically blocked, but the change in John's title, no longer calling Feng Yiping "that Chinese boy", has already made Ma Ling very happy.

"Hehe, it seems that I need to create some similar opportunities," Feng Yiping was also very happy.

He and John are both very important people to Ma Ling and Vincent, and he is naturally happy to see that this relationship can be improved.

"I'll go back to New York tomorrow to inspect the operations of the company over there, and I'm going to meet some people from the business and political circles, what about you, what's the plan for these two days?"

"Hehe, I'm going to see what Vincent means," Ma Ling chuckled.

…………

Among the politicians in the United States, in terms of money, it is really not Trump, and the current New York Mayor Bloomberg is the number one.

Speaking of Michael Bloomberg, there may not be many people in China who know him, but there should be many people who have heard of Bloomberg, because in terms of finance, even CCTV sometimes cites Bloomberg data.

And Bloomberg is actually another transliteration of Bloomberg.

In 1981, he was fired from Salomon Brothers, which had failed in Warren Buffett's investment, but was given a severance pay of 10 million, and with some of that money as capital, he founded Bloomberg.

This is a news terminal that provides customers with professional and comprehensive financial information, and comes with simple operation but powerful analysis tools.

Although a terminal costs as much as 20,000 US dollars a year, the terminal he launched quickly replaced the original system that was very complicated to operate and use, and everyone jokingly said, "only doctors will use" - now Feng Yiping's American and domestic companies also use several units.

Moreover, Bloomberg's sales in the field of financial data soon surpassed that of the information giant, Reuters.

When the company's business was booming, when he entered his old age, he probably felt that it was no longer too challenging to develop Bloomberg and make money, so he decided to run for mayor of New York.

coincided with 911, and the fiscal deficit of New York City soon soared to a large margin above the red line, and such a successful and wealthy old gentleman with a Wall Street background finally won the support of New Yorkers, and was elected for a record three consecutive terms!

What Trump clamored about if he didn't want a salary after being elected president, in front of Bloomberg, it was also not worth mentioning, 12 years as mayor of New York, this public not only received a symbolic salary of $1 a year, but also donated a total of $650 million to New York City during the entire three terms!

Not counting the past 12 years, he didn't work in his own company, how much money he earned less, plus the more than 100 million dollars he spent on his campaign, in order to get the opportunity to serve the citizens of New York for 12 years, he personally invested at least nearly 800 million dollars!

Compared with him, those local tyrants in the Middle East who stick gold and diamonds on their cars and raise lions and tigers as pets have become mountain cannons in minutes, and you have the ability to be the mayor of a world metropolis for more than ten years at your own expense?

New York, arguably the birthplace of Nextdoor in the eastern United States, is also one of the most important markets, and the company has cooperated with so many departments of the New York City government, and the relationship between a bigwig like the mayor naturally has to be maintained.

In the past, Feng Yiping was still a student, and Buchanan was responsible for all these tasks, but now that he has stood in front of the stage, it is reasonable to come to the pier to pay respects.

Mayor Bloomberg is better than the rich Bloomberg, especially Feng Yiping, who has invested a lot in New York City, and on the day he arrived in New York, he was invited to lunch with Bloomberg.

…………

At the Crown restaurant on the Upper East Side of New York, Feng Yiping met Bloomberg sitting at the other end of the long table.

This is an old man with gray hair, short trimming, a very lean-looking, stern face, and wearing a black suit, so on the whole he looks a little unangry and arrogant.

At this time, at the peak of the meal, he still listened to the report of a middle-aged man on the arm of the pestle chair with one hand.

A person next to him reminded him, he looked up and saw Feng Yiping and his party, and a rare smile appeared on his face, "Hello!" He greeted Feng Yiping in fairly standard Chinese, shaking hands first and then hugging.

Speaking of which, this is also a politician who is more friendly to China and attaches more importance to the Chinese in New York, during his tenure, the Lunar New Year party will be held every year, and he is also very serious to cooperate with the Chinese TV station in New York to congratulate the Chinese in Chinese on a happy New Year, which should be the characteristic brought by the businessman's turn to become a politician.

Anyway, Feng Yiping heard him say hello in Chinese, and he still had some good feelings for this old man.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mayor Bloomberg,"

"Please take a seat," Bloomberg gestured to the seat next to him, "Haha, I've heard that there's a young genius on the other side of the ocean, and I'm honored to meet you today,"

The core team around him was a little surprised, their boss, Mr. Bloomberg, was rarely so kind.

"Buchanan, are you thoroughly in love with business now, and have you considered returning to Capitol Hill?"

"I do think like that," Buchanan said.

"I am sure that a young man like you will definitely find his place there in the future,"

The first time they met, Feng Yiping felt that Bloomberg was a little different from what was described in the information, quite a kind old man!

"I've studied your book several times, and it's very good, and the city police department is now using your theories, and it's very effective, you published it when you were in college?

"Thank you," Feng Yiping didn't expect this to start with this topic, "Actually, you know, it wasn't my personal initiative, I just put forward a concept, and then did my best to systematize that theory,"

"Speaking of which, isn't Mr. Mayor founding Bloomberg a successful use of the blue ocean strategy?"

Before meeting him, Buchanan naturally collected a lot of information about Bloomberg for Feng Yiping's reference.

His Bloomberg was able to forge a successful path in the press dominated by giants at that time, which was a successful application of the blue ocean strategy.

Feng Yiping regretted it a little, if he could have known that there would be today before the book was published, he would definitely have written this example into it.

"Hehe," Bloomberg laughed again, being slapped on the back is actually enjoyed by everyone, the key is to see who shoots it and how to shoot it.

"I was forced to do it because of the conditions at the time," he said, "and as you said, I was a lucky person, I saw an opportunity, and I did it, and then I did it,"

It seems that he also knows some of his own information, otherwise he would not know this statement.

In short, the meeting with Bloomberg was quite pleasant at the beginning. (To be continued.) )
