Syllable!

From the moment the swing starts to the moment the ball flies off the tee, Andy's eyes are naturally fixed on the top of the tee. The only way to know if the ball is hit is to see if it's still in place and then you can see the result.

A beautiful parabola is drawn, but it's a little off the direction of the hole, well, it's very off.

"You should practice your skills a little more... ”

"Smack!"

As soon as Warren Buffett's words fell, he swung the golf ball out.

Andy wore sunglasses and couldn't see the change in his eyes, but Buffett could still tell from the shrug of his shoulders as he lifted the club that the young man didn't care whether he was skilled or not.

"I enjoy the comfort of golf, that's what I think is the beauty of the sport, the ball doesn't matter to me whether it's good or bad, it's just swinging the club!"

With a hint of a smile on the corner of Andy's mouth, as if unintentional and as if he meant something, he handed the club to the caddy, and took off the white leather gloves on his left hand while walking with Buffett towards the golf cart parked not far away.

Buffett's eyes lit up, looking at the faint smile and calm comfort on Andy's face, and he looked up to this young man even more. The reason why many successful entrepreneurs like to play golf is because compared to other sports, golf not only contains a deep workplace philosophy, but also exudes a strong business connotation.

"Why do so many successful people like to play golf? Because it is the most rewarding sport to control YU, playing golf is like driving the same thing, and for a business manager, this is the same. But for me golf is just a recreational sport, and seriously, if someone else asks me to play, I'm absolutely going to say no, and as you can see, I'm terrible. ”

Andy sat on the golf cart with a sunny smile and white teeth bared, and he didn't see the slightest hint of embarrassment because of his bad ball skills.

Warren Buffett shook his head with a smile, "This mentality of yours is perfect for this sport, golf is 20% mechanics and skill, and the other 80% is philosophy, humor, romance, friendship, curses, melodrama and conversation. I don't like to play with people who are too utilitarian and competitive, and that takes the fun out of it. ”

"Hehe, that's not easy to find, how many people think of golf as a sport that can never go backwards, a sport that cannot be regretted.

You can't regret playing 18 holes, whether it's under par or over 100. Just like life, once opened, no matter good or bad, good or bad, pain and sorrow, you can only move forward. Tsk, it's really cruel... ”

Buffett listened to Andy's explanation, the expression on his face became very shocked, and the look in his eyes was full of brilliance, "I like you more and more, Andy, it really surprises me, you are indeed a genius writer." ”

"Hehe, thank you. I'm very happy with your compliment, but, Mr. Buffett, it's hard for me to believe that you're asking me to just play... ”

Andy jumped out of the car and reached out to help the elderly Buffett.

"Thank you. Warren Buffett got out of the car more easily with Andy's support, and the two caddies followed behind with golf club bags on their backs.

When stopping in front of a low-lying puddle, Andy patiently waited for Buffett, who was looking at the target flagpole with a club, to be the first to say the purpose of asking him to play today.

"Actually, there are no important things, mainly I want to talk to you about them, such as the housing market, subprime mortgages, the stock market... Buffett said casually, reaching out to signal Andy to hit first.

Andy doesn't care about standing in front of the ball, his feet apart, his posture is extremely standard, in his opinion, it doesn't matter if the ball is poor, but the posture of playing must be beautiful.

"Smack!"

Watching the golf ball fly away in a parabola, Andy closed the pole and kicked his feet, "Hehe, this shot is good, but you are looking for me to talk about the economy, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person, I'm really not good, the big gamble on the real estate bubble is because of a lot of data analysis and field research done by my subordinates, and there is no secret at all, and I understand a truth, that is, once the supply is cut off, the fall in housing prices will lead to a lot of stupid mistakes being exposed... ”

Andy and Buffett's conversation is very plain and equal, and Buffett does not put on his own gods, big shots, of course, Andy naturally will not reveal his vision to see through the future, dealing with an old fox like Buffett, he will go through his mind first when he speaks, and Andy also knows that the old man's purpose is not so simple.

"You're betting heavily on gold again, and you're setting up two private equity funds, and you're taking Wall Street by surprise. ”

"It's not about borrowing money from the bank, it's always going to be exchanged for valuable collateral, the fund is in charge of my investment company CEO Badstone, since it's an investment company, I can't always use my own money to invest, but I didn't expect the public offering to be sold out in a few days, it's really crazy." Andy had a happy smile on his face, he was really happy, Nima, if only he knew that in this way, the total amount of the fund would be set a little more.

"Hehe, you're the new wealth myth on Wall Street right now. Buffett raised his eyebrows disappreciatively, for the cunning little fox in front of him, he had no way, he couldn't ask anything useful at all, he had studied all Andy Smith's investments over the year, almost all of them were operated as a reckless fool's investment.

Whether it's buying Apple stock, doing oil futures, or diving headlong into the MBS subprime bond market, it's a kind of stud way to gamble, and this crazy behavior can succeed every time, then it is not a simple fool investment, but a kind of firm confidence.

Buffett also knows that there are many Wall Street peers who are now staring at Andy, such as Goldman Sachs.

"Andy, are you interested in talking to someone from Goldman Sachs?"

Andy's swing stopped in mid-air, looked back at Buffett with a smile, and smiled, "Not interested!"

"Smack!"

Swinging the ball, Andy continued to say to the puzzled Buffett: "I talked to Da Mo because I was afraid that they would go bankrupt, after all, the money in the bet was too large, but Goldman Sachs, hehe, I don't believe that they will not be able to bear the loss of less than 500 million US dollars, and there is no bankruptcy problem, I just need to wait patiently, after all, they are never soft when deducting the margin from my company's account every month, and they will not deduct a penny less!"

Buffett stopped the topic in moderation, Andy's words made it very clear, the two parties were traded in strict accordance with the contract before, and this is also the benefit of hundreds of millions of dollars, he doesn't think that this young man will give him this face, and the friendship between them is just an ordinary friendship.

After more than four hours of exercise, Buffett, the old man, did not show the slightest fatigue, and was still energetically exchanging views with Andy on various investments.

But for Andy, it's really the same as chicken ribs, but some ideas still benefit a lot.

When the two came out of the court, the paparazzi tails that had never been shaken off came out of nowhere, holding the camera to excitedly shoot Andy and the stock god talking, respectively.

This is Warren Buffett, Wall Street, and a well-known big man in the American financial industry, and he usually has to be over-interpreted when he farts, let alone play a three- or four-hour round of golf with Andy.

"Thank you, Mr. Buffett... ”

The middle-aged man who hung up the phone shook his head at the person sitting opposite with a disappointed look on his face, "He refused, it seems that the $489 million is inevitable." ”

"Hey, I didn't have much hope, Warren Buffett just did a favor, Deutsche Bank was even worse, and the loss of $1 billion could not be escaped. ”

"You say, why did Wall Street suddenly pop up such a freak, but Da Mo escaped the catastrophe, I heard, they are also crazy shorting, damn it, even our company was put at the top of their short list. ”

"Hehe, now the big investment banks on Wall Street have become very crazy, and it's not news that they are short each other, after all, everyone understands that everyone has those toxic bond portfolios, and they can't get rid of it, and Lehman's group of arrogant idiots will take it... ”

In the newspaper the next day, sure enough, a group of idiot reporters began to make up all kinds of nonsense stories, and they cleverly interpreted Andy's meeting with Buffett.

"Boring!" Andy scoffed as he skimmed through the contents, immediately losing interest, but when he arrived at Liberty City Investments, he received two messages that made him laugh and cry.

The first is that Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway also entered the gold futures market, causing violent fluctuations in the gold market, although the price of gold began to rise all the way, allowing Andy to make money, but still feeling a little depressed.

The second is Bear Stearns' CEO who said they have injected $3.2 billion into two end-of-redemption funds so that customers don't have to panic. Andy knew that this was just a dove to quench his thirst, but at the same time, it also delayed the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Andy didn't want to continue to bother with the subprime mortgage crisis, but things were not as simple as he thought, he was in the game now, even if he didn't want to attract attention, every move of his company would be noticed by Wall Street, his people and company, which had been reported by some financial newspapers, was very annoying, like a fly, and everything around him became related to money.

Even on his blog and Facebook, there are all kinds of investment problems, and brain-dead fans can't resist the temptation of the knife, and they brush the message "Will gold really rise?" over and over again.

Classmates, teachers, Hollywood's little plum, the elf prince, Matt Damon, and people from the fraternity all called to ask.

While the myth of wealth is established, troubles will follow, and sometimes you can't help yourself.
