The Waldorf Astoria New York is managed by Hilton, and as the most recognizable hotel in the world, Waldorf Astoria can do without the word "one".

This hotel with a history of more than 100 years has hosted more than hundreds of dignitaries from different countries, and even Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty once stayed at Waldorf Astoria.

The average room at the Waldorf Astoria isn't ridiculously expensive, just less than $400, which is cheaper than many hotels in San Francisco. But its tower, the Presidential Suite, even costs more than $10,000 a night.

It's worth spending $10,000 to get a feel for the room where Eisenhower or Kennedy stayed. As for Li Hongzhang's room, it can't be lived in for any amount of money, because of the renovation, the earliest Waldorf Astoria was demolished in the thirties.

However, due to the fact that this kind of room needs to be booked in advance, and now these years are the strongest period of the United States' national strength, there are too many people who spend money and spend a lot of money, and it is impossible to wait for ten days and half a month, so Zhang Chen had to honestly book an ordinary big bed room.

This is the third time Zhang Chen has come to New York, but it is the first time he has come to New York in the 90s.

It's no different from twenty years later.

Standing in the room on the twentieth floor of Waldorf Astoria and looking out, the window is the brightest night view of the city on the planet. Even though the lower floors of Waldorf Astoria don't have large floor-to-ceiling windows, you can still enjoy an unobstructed view of the city at night.

Central Park, the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, GE, Citigroup, Chase, and, of course, the World Trade Center, which hasn't been crashed yet.

I don't know if 9/11 will happen in this life.

Maybe it will still happen, after all, the **** attack on the United States is also a historical inevitability.

Hundreds of high-rise buildings of more than 200 meters are crowded on this land of less than 60 square kilometers.

Wall Street, Manhattan, New York.

The center of the world economy.

Seeing the bright lights outside the building, Zhang Chen couldn't help but think of the scene when Ritz Carlton, who lived in Shanghai IFC for the first time in his previous life, looked at the night view of the Bund outside the window.

Zhang Chen thought at the time that if one of the many skyscrapers on the Bund could be his own, it would not be in vain.

The colleague who stayed with Zhang Chen that day rolled his eyes and said that you want to be blind.

Thinking of the past, Zhang Chen smiled lightly, maybe in this life, he can not only have a skyscraper on the Bund or Lujiazui, but even have a piece of his own world in Manhattan, the core of the world economy.

Zhang Chen has never felt that ambition and desire are a bad thing, strong ambition and strong desire can stimulate people's potential, and can make a person do his best to achieve self-transcendence.

When you have a strong enough desire to change your destiny, then all the difficulties, obstacles, obstacles, and setbacks you encounter on the way forward will not become your opponent.

At this time, how great your desires are, how great is the courage and strength to overcome difficulties and obstacles, and in this sense, desire itself is a strength.

I want to be the king of Wall Street, the king of capital!

Rebirth brings Zhang Chen opportunities, and whether he can seize more opportunities depends on Zhang Chen's own efforts, and the root of persistent efforts is this ambition and desire.

Until the day of death, no one in this world can take it away.

But at least until I die, the world is mine!

Another reason why Zhang Chen lives at Waldorf Astoria is that it is close to the lunch spot with Warren Buffett, which can be reached in five minutes.

Smith ollensky is a steakhouse chain with a flagship store located in Midtown Manhattan, New York, at the corner of 49th Street and Third Avenue, right next to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

In Midtown Manhattan, where land is at a premium, the restaurant has only two floors, and the exterior style is very unique in a business district like Manhattan, covered with green and white grid stripes, which looks relatively brisk.

Zhang Chen still maintains the biological clock in San Francisco, sleeps until nine o'clock in the morning in New York, gets up to wash, goes to the gym to masturbate, and then goes back to the room to take a shower after exercising, and the time is about the same.

Zhang Chen and Bellankefen arrived at the restaurant fifteen minutes early, although it was only half past eleven, there were already many people in the restaurant.

Before Buffett and Ajit Jhayne came, Zhang Chen flipped through the menu, and there was a steak business meal for lunch, which was about $60 a piece, which was not expensive in Manhattan, but it was not cheap either.

"Hi, Lauerd!" Ajit Jain waved at Frank Fen and Zhang Chen at the door, turned sideways, and an old man with gray hair appeared behind him, it was the god of stocks-Warren Buffett!

Even though he has seen too many top figures in the world after being reborn, Zhang Chen is still a little nervous about being able to meet this living legend in the investment world.

You must know that the annual Buffett charity lunch auction in later generations even sold for a high price of $3 million, and now, Zhang Chen is about to have lunch with Buffett at this steakhouse.

Zhang Chen stood up and took two steps to greet him, and Ajit Jain introduced, "Warren, this is the Zack I mentioned to you. ”

Buffett smiled and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Ajit told me that you are young, and now I know that you are younger than I thought." ”

Zhang Chen leaned over slightly and politely shook Buffett's hand, "Mr. Buffett, it's a pleasure to see you, I didn't expect you to come." ”

Warren Buffett laughed and said, "Although I am sixty-six years old, as long as I can move, I don't want to stop." ”

This restaurant is frequented by Warren Buffett, his favorite steakhouse in New York, and many of its regular customers have seen Buffett in the restaurant, and even if they haven't seen it, there will be no one in Manhattan who does not know Buffett's face.

Everyone looked at Zhang Chen's table curiously, and the people who could have lunch with Buffett would naturally not be ordinary people.

Buffett's scheduled action is in the corner of the main hall of the restaurant, but fortunately, the table spacing here is relatively large, so that other diners can hear the conversation.

Buffy ordered a business set menu for filet mignon, while Zhang Chen ordered a porterhouse steak.

Buffett gave a thumbs up when he saw this: "I used to order porterhouse, and the porthouse here does a better job than filet." But now that I'm older, it's a bit of a struggle to eat porthouse. ”

Zhang Chen smiled: "I prefer to eat chewy." ”

Warren Buffett laughed: "Young people always like challenges, but at my age, they will become more and more conservative." ”

Zhang Chen complimented: "Your action to buy General Dynamics is not conservative at all, this is already a classic case in the investment world." And Berkshire's annual growth rate of more than 20% is not conservative at all. ”

Warren Buffett laughed and said, "I'm still old, if it was ten years ago, I probably wouldn't have sold the shares of Salomon Brothers." ”

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "No, if it was ten years ago, you would have sold faster, because it was at a high level at that time." ”

Warren Buffett lamented: "Yes, ten years ago was the most glorious time of the Salomon Brothers, with an annual net profit of more than one billion dollars, and it was the best investment bank in the world." ”

Warren Buffett looked interested: "But why would you choose to buy Solomon's stock? Now everyone is not optimistic about their future performance, even I, in the past three years, I have reduced my holdings twice." Moreover, after the announcement of Berkshire's liquidation of Solomon, their stock price will come under more pressure. ”

Basically, Tinder and Berkshire Hathaway have finalized the deal, and today's meeting is more like a second confirmation of this transaction, and the deal will be completed as long as Buffett completely nods.

Zhang Chen smiled: "I admit that in the short term, the market of Salomon Brothers may still not be optimistic, but their core business and my Tinder Source are complementary, and if I can become the largest shareholder, I will have enough influence on the board of directors." Through the bond business, which Salomon Brothers excels, the financing capacity of Tinder Source can be greatly enhanced. ”

Originally, I wrote a bunch of Waldorf Astoria introductions, but then I thought about it, I can find it on the Internet, so I don't cheat the word count。。。。。。
