In the large lounge in the conference room, a group of people took their seats. Tasting the authentic Jamaican best Blue Mountain coffee, coupled with the fact that many of them are already familiar with each other, the communication atmosphere is good.

"John, I heard that your Tianya investment is now reaping good results in Southeast Asia in Asia. After a period of small talk, Soros suddenly turned the conversation to the Asian financial crisis.

"Haha... Luckily, my Chinese investment manager, Shanquan Li, mentioned to me that it was very dangerous in Asia, but it was a good opportunity.

Later, I heard that Mr. Soros and other global travel funds have gathered in Southeast Asia, and I wondered if there was a real opportunity, after all, your prestige is too great, and I think you can eat meat and drink some soup. Li Feng replied modestly.

"Haha... As far as I know, you're not a soup drinker. ”

"Hehe... , you have won the prize, I will drink some soup base and be satisfied. Li Feng touched his nose and said humbly again.

After listening to the dialogue between Li Feng and Soros, many of the people were slightly surprised in their hearts, but they didn't expect that in the financial crisis that is in full swing in Southeast Asia, Li Feng also stepped in, and listening to Soros's words, obviously, Li Feng should have made a lot of money.

……

"On the issue of Asia, we can find an opportunity to say in the future, this time, in fact, I came with Frank and David.

When the two of you told me about the Asian financial crisis before, they heard about you John Lee, and you also know that Carlyle Investments is a private equity company, are you interested in becoming a limited partner?"

Soros heard Li Feng's words and understood that Li Feng was unwilling to say anything about the financial crisis under such circumstances, so he changed the topic and brought up the situation of Carlyle's investment.

"Yes, Mr. Li, I took the liberty to invite you to join Carlyle and become a limited partner of Carlyle, I don't know if you would like to?" At this time, Frank Cassilu, the CEO of Carlyle, also chimed in.

"I'm curious, firstly, now that Carlyle has been successful, it is said that the scale of your private equity fund has exceeded 10 billion US dollars, and there seems to be no shortage of people like me.

Second, you should also know that I set up my own investment company, although it is not comparable to Carlyle now, I don't think there is any need to mix with you again. ”

"Mr. Li, you are too modest, your Tianya investment is now famous, much stronger than our Carlyle, now who in the United States does not know the reputation of the Holy Son of Wealth, and absolutely admires your investment vision, and it is precisely because of this that we hope you can join Carlyle.

Carlyle has abundant resources both in the United States and around the world, and this is a good opportunity for both of us. David Rubinstein also explained with a smile at this time.

"Oh... I'm going to think about it a little bit, but thank you for having me. Li Feng replied with a smile.

……

Li Feng understood what Frank meant by the benefits to both sides, and it was clear that Carlyle had the political resources to make private equity investments around the world, which could help Li Feng further strengthen his base and win over powerful allies.

And Carlyle obviously values Li Feng's reputation in the United States and even the world, Li Feng's business vision is now a well-known thing, look at Li Feng's company, which one is not developing rapidly.

Carlyle obviously has the same mind as he did when he won over Soros, if Li Feng succeeds in joining Carlyle, with Li Feng's good vision in investment, it will be easier for Carlyle to go to private equity again.

Wasn't that the case with Soros at the beginning, before Soros, the size of each of Carlyle's funds did not exceed 100 million US dollars, and when Soros joined, with Soros's reputation in the fund and financial industry, it was much easier to raise funds, and in just 3 years, the scale of its funds exceeded 10 billion.

It's normal to think about it, hasn't Li Feng's investment company also raised a large amount of funds, and those investors still think that Li Feng's fund is too small.

Even so, the scale of the investment company's private equity fund is now more than 20 billion, which is larger than Carlyle today, why, not by virtue of Li Feng's incredible rise speed in the past 2 years, that is, Li Feng's reputation for super money.

……

Since the announcement of Forbes last year, as long as Li Feng's investment company releases a private equity fund, he will soon get the funds he wants.

Even the CEOs of several giants such as Citigroup and Bank of America, as well as some behind-the-scenes shareholders, called to ask if they could expand the scale of the fund, and they were willing to let the funds be handed over to Li Feng to take care of it.

Regarding the invitation of Carlyle Investment, Li Feng is a little thoughtful.

First, it is to become a limited partner, and the risk is not large, and the Carlyle of later generations is so famous, it should be good to want to develop, and you can also make a profit by participating in it, after all, your memory is only these 10 or 20 years, and if you really join, it can be regarded as diversification.

Second, by becoming a limited partner of Carlyle Investment, it can be regarded as a connection with the rich political resources in Carlyle Investment, which is still very useful for Li Feng, and it is impossible to maintain pure personal wealth to a certain extent.

Obviously, after becoming Carlyle's partner, it is still very useful for the accumulation and promotion of his own contacts, after all, Carlyle's investment itself is in Washington, and now Carlyle's situation has become one of the important partners of the US imperialist Ministry of Defense, and it obviously has a natural advantage in this regard.

"Okay, Frank, David, let me think about this for a moment, and I'll get back to you in three days. Although he had the heart to agree, Li Feng pondered for a moment, and then replied with a smile.

"Of course, we look forward to working with you. David Rubinstein replied with a smile.

They also understood that this was not something that could be agreed to all at once, and seeing Li Feng say that he would think about it, David and Frank were already surging with joy in their hearts, obviously thinking that the possibility of success was very high.

……

"Since that's the case, your business is over, then, John, how about we talk privately?" Seeing that Li Feng's matter with Carlyle's investment was basically over, Soros interjected.

"Hehe... George, I want to hear what you want to say, go to my office and talk. ”

"Okay, guys, you're at your own convenience, I'll go talk to little John. Soros smiled and got up to say goodbye to the rest of the group, and walked out of the conference lounge with Li Feng.

"John, what do you think will happen next in Asia?" After taking a sip of coffee, the old fox Soros glanced at Li Feng with a smile and then asked.

"George, to be honest, I really don't know much about finance, so I'm used to leaving professional things to professional people, you see, I'm not going back to Los Angeles, I'll leave it to Bill and Shanquan Lee over there. Li Feng replied with a helpless shrug.

"Well, before Thailand changed its exchange rate policy, a few days ago, Malaysia also gave up the decision to defend the ringgit, and the rest of the exchanges, including Singapore, the Philippines, Indonesia, etc., are continuing to fall. ”

"Wait, you said Malaysia has given up the fixed exchange rate and changed to a floating exchange rate?"

"You just know?"

Seeing Li Feng suddenly and rudely interrupt his words, and then listening to the content of Li Fengniang's words, he couldn't help but make Soros a little puzzled, could it be that this little guy St. John Li really doesn't know much about finance?

……

"Uh... , your old man continued.... Li Feng smiled awkwardly.
