Chapter 209: Financial Genius

……

"Hello?"

"Is that Mr. Barry? I'm Bruce Kwok!"

"Hello, Mr. Guo!"

"Do you have time in the evening? I would like to invite Mr. Barry to dinner at the Pyrlot!"

Guo Shouyun's invitation was a little abrupt for Michael Barry, and he paused for more than ten seconds, until Guo Shouyun thought that there was something wrong with the phone, and a familiar slightly hoarse voice came from the microphone.

"What time is it?"

"Half past seven in the evening!"

"Can you be half an hour early, I usually eat dinner at seven o'clock!"

Listening to the other party's natural tone, Guo Shouyun frowned, but he didn't say anything about it, geniuses always have a strange temper, aren't they?

"Yes!"

"See you that night!"

"Okay!"

As soon as Guo Shouyun's voice fell, a blind sound of hanging up sounded in the earpiece.

"This is really an upright guy!" Shaking his head, Guo Shouyun opened his address book, found a number and dialed it.

"Boss!"

"Will, help me look up someone's information!"

"Who?"

Michael Barry was a former resident neurologist at Stanford University School of Medicine. ”

"When do you want to?"

"At the latest this afternoon, at half past six!"

"Got it!"

"I'm fine, you go get busy!"

"Okay, goodbye boss!"

"Goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun sighed.

Will Harrington, who graduated from Columbia University with a master's degree in information management, after the last chance encounter in New York, Guo Shouyun observed for half a year, coupled with Al Bevin's evaluation, and was finally poached by him to serve as the head of the strategic intelligence group directly under his secretarial department. As it turned out, he wasn't looking at the wrong person. Will Harrington did a great job in this position.

After finishing his own business, Guo Shouyun returned to Songtao Garden under the protection of his bodyguards. After explaining the events of the night to Molly, he drove out.

"Boss, it's here!"

The bodyguard's reminder brought Guo Shouyun back to his senses from Will Harrington's thick information about Michael Barry.

He pinched his eyebrows, relaxed his spirit, and said, "A financial genius with Asperger's disease!"

Asperger's syndrome, similar to autism, is characterized by social difficulties, difficulty in language communication, and rigid behavior. In short, it is withdrawn and unsociable. However, this disease also has another name: the disease of genius.

Many famous people in history have suffered from signs of Asperger's disease, such as scientists Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, writers George Orwell and Wells, philosopher Wittenstein, statesman Charles de Gaulle and US President Jefferson. Some celebrities have also been diagnosed with Asperger's after their deaths, such as the musician Beethoven and Mozart, the fairy tale writer Hans Christian Andersen and the philosopher Immanuel Kant.

Take a look out the window of the brightly lit Pirlot, an upscale restaurant in Chicago that's clearly very popular in Chicago, and the bright tempered floor-to-ceiling glass shows how busy it is going to be.

After a brief moment, Guo Shouyun walked down.

"Welcome!"

With the crisp voice of Miss Menying, a blonde beauty in a lady's professional suit greeted her.

"Sir, have you booked a seat?"

"Booked! Table 16!"

"You are Mr. Guo?"

"Yes!"

"Please wait a moment, our waiter will take you there soon!"

Guo Shouyun nodded.

After a short time, a young girl in a white uniform walked over briskly and guided Guo Shouyun to the position of table 16.

"Sir, do you want to order food now?"

"Wait a minute, my friend hasn't arrived yet. ”

"Okay! You can call us at any time when you order!"

"Thank you!"

The waiter owed slightly, turned around and walked down.

Ten minutes before seven o'clock in the evening, Michael Barry appeared at the door of the restaurant.

"Here!"

Looking at Guo Shouyun, who raised his hand to greet him, the waiter gave up the inquiry and let Michael Barry come over.

"Hello, Mr. Barry!"

"Hello!"

After shaking hands, Michael Barry didn't say any more greetings and sat down in front of Guo Shouyun. Guo Shouyun, who knew that he was not sociable, was not displeased with this. Moreover, he also understands that the best way to deal with such people is to go straight.

After sitting down, beckoned the waiter to take the menu and hand it to Michael Barry.

"Mr. Barry, you can order!"

The latter was not polite and ordered some of his favorite dishes.

After Guo Shouyun added a steak, he returned the menu.

"I didn't expect Mr. Barry to like Italian food!"

Michael Barry nodded, "Can I read what you said about Argentina's economy?"

"I've brought the materials, and when I'm gone, they'll be in Mr. Barry's hands. Now, I'd rather talk to you about Sun Capital for a while!"

Michael Barry's eyes flashed, and Descendants Capital was the hedge fund he had just set up in January. The name is derived from a book he loved as a child, "The Children of Shanara", and the first fund of the fund was $10,000 in compensation for his father's misdiagnosis and death in the hospital.

However, there is no shortage of investors for this genius, which has long been on the radar of some financial giants. When Sunchildren Capital was busy looking for office space, Joel Greenblatt of Gotan Capital personally called and bought a 25% subscription share of Sunchildren Capital for $1 million.

Less than half a month after Michael Barry went from a debt-ridden medical physician with a net worth of negative $105,000 to a millionaire with a small outstanding loan, he received a call from Baishan, an insurance holding company, whose CEO Jack Byrne invested $600,000 and promised an additional $10 million in the future.

Now Michael Barry's descendants have become a hedge fund with $5.5 million in financial capital and 17 clients.

"Mr. Guo is going to invest in us?"

Guo Shouyun nodded, "What is the total share of funds raised by Mr. Barry's descendant capital?"

"Our goal this year is 100 million!" Michael Barry didn't hide it.

"I personally can invest 100 million directly, and it is after tax!"

"Really?"

Michael Barry was shocked.

"Of course!"

Michael Barry, though withdrawn, is not a fool. After taking a deep breath and calming the fluctuations in my heart.

"Why? I didn't know you before. ”

"I don't know. But I've heard of Mr. Barry's name for a long time. In particular, I also like to surf the web and often browse your blog. I am very impressed with Mr. Barry's views on value investing and market analysis. After a pause, "So, I hope to have a deeper cooperation with Mr. Barry!"

"What do you mean?" said Michael Barry.

"On behalf of Thunder Fund, I invested $5 million to acquire an 80% stake in Descendants Capital. After the completion of the acquisition, Thunder invested $100 million as the capital of the capital of the descendants. In addition, Mr. Barry will be solely responsible for the operation of the descendants capital, and I will not interfere with the operation of the descendants capital unless it loses more than 20% for two consecutive years, which can be written into the acquisition contract! As for Mr. Barry's own treatment, in addition to his salary, there is also 2% of the net value of the fund every year. … How?"

Michael Barry fell silent. Having a net worth of $5 million in an instant is an irresistible temptation for him who has been poor for half his life. Although it costs 80% of the equity of the capital of the descendants, the net assets of the descendants capital are now less than $200,000. The deal is great value by any means. Of course, what he needs to pay is the future of the company. But no one can predict what the future holds, especially in the high-risk financial investment market. In addition, Guo Shouyun's commitment to his management rights is also a moving point.

"I want you to add $50 million in capital!"

Guo Shouyun had a smile on his face, "Yes! Are there any other conditions?"

Michael Barry shook his head.

Seeing this, Guo Shouyun took out two contracts from the briefcase he was carrying.

"I have drawn it up in the afternoon, and Mr. Barry may make any comments on any other terms than the amount. ”

After taking the document and flipping it open, Michael Barry frowned slightly, "You've been prepared for a long time?"

"I'm optimistic about Mr. Barry's talent in investing, so be prepared for any opportunity to turn you into a partner!"

Guo Shouyun's compliment, combined with his current status, made him quite useful to the ears of Michael Barry.

After taking a closer look at the two contracts, everything was as Guo Shouyun said before, and there were no traps hidden in them, Michael Barry nodded.

After Guo Shouyun filled in all the acquisition funds and the amount of capital invested, the two signed their names on the positions of Party A and Party B respectively.

After the two contracts were signed, Guo Shouyun breathed a sigh of relief. It is indeed a joy to have this financial genius in his pocket so smoothly.

"Oh, yes. Guo Shouyun took out the information in his bag and handed it over, "This is the Argentine economic information you need!"

Michael Barry's eyes lit up and he immediately took it.

Looking at his impatient look, Guo Shouyun said: "You also plan to take the opportunity to buy more precious metals or oil?"

In the futures market, gold and oil are basically positively correlated, and the magnitude of each rise and fall is basically similar.

"Nope. Michael Barry shook his head, "I like to do value investing. Therefore, I am more interested in the stock and futures markets. ”

After a pause, he glanced at the young man opposite, and after thinking that the other party would be his partner and investor in the future, Michael Barry did not continue to hide it.
