Chapter 125: The Great God Jim Rogers
When it comes to fund companies, people's first impression is the Quantum Fund, and when it comes to the Quantum Fund, the first thing that comes to mind is Soros, and when it comes to Soros, then they have to mention one person - Jim Rogers.
Compared with Soros's murderous reputation, Jim Rogers is a bit "unknown", but those who know his deeds will never think that this great god is a "nameless".
Rogers, along with Warren Buffett and Soros, is known as the world's three major financial giants and is known as the "myth of Wall Street".
From the notorious Quantum Fund to the bullish Rogers International Commodity Index, Rogers has a strong track record in the investment market.
The most impressive thing is that Rogers not only has a brilliant investment record, but also completed two round-the-world trips - and was even included in the Guinness Book of World Records.
During his travels around the world, he made good use of the strategy of "investing while walking", and gained a lot - including a great success in investing in Shanghai B shares in 1999. Because of Rogers' dazzling travel achievements, he was also called the "Indiana Jones" of the financial world by Time magazine.
The great god had just completed his first trip around the world, and as soon as he returned to the United States, he received an invitation from Jamie Dimon. So just when Su Chenyu was busy with Cisco, Jamie Dimon and Jim Rogers had already "connected", and the two gods of the financial industry got along very happily.
When Su Chenyu dug Chambers to Cisco, and met Jim Rogers with the mentality of seeing the "great god", he had actually become friends with Jamie Dimon. So Su Chenyu had to sigh secretly, sure enough, the great gods all have a magnetic field that attracts each other.
In Su Chenyu's new mansion on Long Island, Su Chenyu met the long-awaited god. Perhaps because he had just returned from a trip around the world, Jim Rogers looked a little dusty, but he was in his fifties.
What's more, Jim Rogers doesn't have the kind of aggressiveness that a "god" should have, on the contrary, he looks like an ordinary person. But Su Chenyu knew that this seemingly ordinary was just infinite restraint after the vicissitudes of the world and the financial war.
"Mister Rogers, it's a pleasure to meet you. After Su Chenyu invited the great god in, he then introduced himself: "I am Su Chenyu, you can call me Su, I believe that Jamie has already introduced some of the information." ”
Rogers smiled and said, "Sue, I didn't expect you to be so young, it seems that Jamie is not lying." And your operation in the Great Stock Market Crash of '87 is completely 'God's handiwork', which is perfect, and it is astonishing. ”
Jamie Dimon winked at Su Chenyu, meaning that I have already "recruited", you can do it yourself. Su Chenyu didn't have any unhappiness, so that he could not only show his sincerity, but also show his strength.
"I don't dare to be, it's just God's favor to me. For his youth, Su Chenyu was no longer able to argue anything, so he said generously: "However, I also admire Mr. Rogers' performance in the Quantum Fund very much. ”
Jamie Dimon said: "Both of them are prodigies in the financial world, so don't flatter each other. ”
Su Chenyu and Jim Rogers, the little elder, looked at each other and smiled, which can be regarded as a hero's sympathy, and the great god's magnetic field resonates. Seeing that everyone was gradually getting acquainted, Su Chenyu began to stop the greeting in front of him.
"Jim, what are your plans after this round-the-world trip?" Su Chenyu knocked on the side.
Everyone understands, and Jim Rogers didn't hide it in the slightest, and replied directly: "Of course, it's to go back to the old business and continue to roll in the financial markets." ”
Su Chenyu and Jamie Dimon looked at each other and smiled, motioning for him to continue his words. Of course, Jamie Dimon knew the main purpose of Su Chenyu's visit to the United States this time, so he accosted him and said: "Jim, you also know that Su has a fund company, and this company will soon shock the world. ”
"Oh?" said Jim Rogers with great interest, "what would have shocked the world? Could it be that he had found a company with great potential?"
Jamie Dimon shook his head and said, "No, no, it's much more thrilling than that." ”
"The Japanese stock market?"
Su Chenyu looked up at Jim Rogers, and secretly said in his heart that the great god deserved to be a great god, and he guessed the key point at once. Anyway, there is nothing to hide about this, and now it is estimated that the entire American consortium is sharpening its knives and preparing to attack Japan.
"Yes, with regard to the Japanese stock market, we are gambling with the banking and insurance companies represented by Sumitomo Bank -- this time we are going to loot Japan. ”
Jamie Dimon said, "Jim, are you interested in going crazy together?"
Jim Rogers naturally knows the deep meaning of Jamie Damon's words, this is to pull himself in. But a great god is a great god, and since you don't say it directly, then I will continue to pretend that I don't know.
"Investing in Nikkei futures?" said Jim Rogers, pretending to be dumbfounded, "I have some, but not many." ”
The first temptation was easily blocked by Jim Rogers, and Su Chenyu and Jamie Dimon tried a few more times, intentionally or unintentionally, but they were all resolved one by one. Seeing Jim Rogers sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, Su Chenyu couldn't help but shout in his heart, this guy should go to Hollywood - it's an actor-level performance.
In line with the principle of "time is life", and people do have the capital to sit firmly in Diaoyutai, so Su Chenyu glanced at Jamie Dimon helplessly, and motioned him to point out his intentions directly.
"Well, Jim, you win. Jamie Dimon looked at Jim Rogers with a breezy face and said helplessly: "I don't know if you are interested in taking charge of Sue's fund company?"
Seeing that the drama meat was finally here, Jim Rogers stopped pretending and said directly: "What kind of fund company?"
Su Chenyu saw that Jim Rogers was a little moved, so he hurriedly said: "My fund company is called X Fund Company, I believe you have heard of it." In the words of some people, there will be a stock market crash as soon as X Fund appears, and in recent years, he has specialized in making profits from stock market crashes. ”
"At present, Fund X is completely my personal assets, and he does not accept investment from anyone. He only has a handful of high-performing stocks, but now he is mainly engaged in futures. ”
"Jim, once you take office, you'll be in charge of Fund X. And after this incident in Japan, you will be able to manipulate hundreds of billions of dollars. ”
Su Chenyu kept introducing the situation of Fund X to Jim Rogers, and the temptation in his tone was already obvious. In the end, Su Chenyu ran out of the last "bait": "Once you agree, you will get 6% of the company's equity, plus an annual salary that satisfies you." ”
"By the way, Jamie will also have a 4% stake in the fund company. Su Chenyu finally added, which made Jamie Dimon beside him stunned.
Su Chenyu is ready to completely bind the two gods of Jamie Dimon and Jim Rogers in a benefit-sharing way, so he gave away 6% of the equity to Jim Rogers, and then gave 4% of the equity to Jamie Rogers. In this way, Jamie Dimon suddenly had the feeling that a soldier was dying as a confidant, and since then the two have become a community of interests, and he is completely tied to Su Chenyu's chariot.
Jim Rogers obviously didn't expect Su Chenyu to "smash" him with such a heavy hand, and Su Chenyu's importance to him has been revealed. In the face of such lucrative conditions, Jim Rogers could not be moved, but he had always been more cautious, so he still did not let go.
However, a great god is a great god, and after just a moment's hesitation, Jim Rogers made the decision to take the helm of Fund X.
As a result, Jim Rogers, the "myth of Wall Street", was fooled into strapped to Su Chenyu's chariot.
Many people may not know that in this mansion on Long Island, at this time, the "Su Standard Foundation", which became famous in the future, gradually took shape.
The "financial empire" that is the cornerstone of the "Su Standard Consortium" finally has two most important Optimus Primes - Standard Bank Group led by Jamie Dimon and X Fund Company led by Jim Rogers.
Big things must happen, a big stone in Su Chenyu's heart has finally landed, and now he has finally found the most suitable helmsman for X Fund Company. Then, the topic of the three of them also became relaxed, and they casually talked about their own observations.
"Jamie, Jim, the World Cup is about to start, are you two interested in going to Italy with me to enjoy the hot summer of football?" Su Chenyu suddenly said improvisedly.
Although he knows that this part of the United States is a "football desert", and most Americans don't like soccer at all, who can stop the enthusiasm for the World Cup?
"Sue, do you like soccer?" asked Jamie Dimon in confusion, "why have I never heard you say that?"
"Don't you know now?" Su Chenyu glanced at him, and then said, "Are you two interested?" You can bring your respective families, and I will cover all the expenses. ”
"As the boss, of course you should be responsible for all the expenses?" muttered Jamie Damon.
Jim Rogers readily agreed, "Gladly." ”
"Okay, let's enjoy the hot 'Italian summer' this summer, and then let's start to bleed little Japan well. In the end, Su Chenyu said conclusively.
After agreeing to go to the Apennine Peninsula to enjoy a football feast together, Jamie Dimon first returned to Standard Chartered's new headquarters - Hong Kong to deal with some things, while Jim Rogers was also busy looking through the information of the X Fund so that he could take over as much as possible.
In the end, only Su Chenyu became an idler, and he wandered around major cities in the United States like a "trapeze" with bodyguards every day - New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, etc.
When his "footprints" were painted all over the United States, this guy said viciously: Jim's old guy can go to the world, and my brother will fly all over the United States......
