Chapter 269: Raising a Giant Crocodile

If it's just for wine sales, Link wouldn't have made a special trip to New York. He came to New York for something else.

The next day, he went to Stoll to find Flon Pitt. The two had already made an appointment to meet, so when he arrived, Fren was already waiting for him in the office.

Stoll owns half of his shares.

But this time Link did not come in his personal capacity, but in the name of Ozette Investment Bank, he came to Stoll to "seek" cooperation. Link had already spoken to Flon on the phone, and this time he was here to finalize some details and sign an agreement.

Link's bank wants to work with Stoll, and Flren has absolutely no opinion.

The two know each other well, and they have talked a lot on the phone before. This will be just a brief discussion, and the conditions will be negotiated.

Flon also opened champagne to celebrate. Still, he had some doubts about Link's plans. He asked Link, "You really don't plan to expand the reach of your bank?"

"I still need to grow!" Link said, taking a sip of champagne. "After the wave of mergers and acquisitions 30 years ago, and after the shock and wash of 08 years, the pattern of the U.S. banking industry has long been stable. I rushed in, and the risk was already great. If you expand blindly, there is no benefit. ”

There are many types of commercial banks, such as credit banks, insurance banks, investment and savings banks, and so on. Many large banks usually have several, or even all, businesses. But Ozette Investment Bank is still too weakly capitalized, and Link does not intend to absorb other people's capital injections. The bank will be his private business. So his strength is still too weak. Competing with the big banks right now is not a sensible choice.

Furlen groaned for a moment and said, "Maybe your caution is right. "Three billion dollars in assets is not a lot for a bank, but if you consider that it is just a start-up asset, and it is all liquidity. That is not a weak capital force. "If you need a more secure portfolio, I'll arrange it for you, but it won't be too high a year. If you want to reach 10%, you need luck. ”

"I just don't want those funds to stay in the account and depreciate. I give them to you because I know you're safe here. He paused and said. "By the way, I'm going to hand over the Hans Fund's funds to you as well. No problem. ”

"I can operate with my own fund. Of course, Fren has no problem. His fund is also investing, a sheep is herded, and a flock of sheep is also herded. Moreover, the amount of funds in the Hans Fund is only a little more than 300 million, which will not put too much pressure on him.

Flen Pitt has made a lot of gains in the previous short positions. But in reality he is not very good at shorting. He was able to profit a lot in those markets because he knew the hype methods of those predators and obtained some information in his favor.

Now that he's lost those advantages, Stoll invests mainly in longs, which is a bit safer. But the yield is also much lower.

Link handed over $2 billion from Ozette Investment Bank to Stoll and asked him to make a more secure portfolio. What he needs is a steady income.

Link looked at the time, put his glass down, and said, "I should talk to Neil." When the agreement is ready, I will sign it. ”

Fren didn't hold back, stood up and said with a smile: "You gave him an investment last time? But the whole Wall Street can't see through his movements. The Wall Street Fox is dizzying. ”

Link smiled and said, "I did invest some money in him. He thought for a moment and said. "1.5 billion dollars!"

For Fren, there is no need to be surprised at all that figure of 1.5 billion. He thought for a moment and said, "It seems that he really made a big move." It's a pity I can't see it at all. ”

Link laughed and said, "I can't tell you about his plans. Because if your every move is noticed by others, not only may it fail him, but you will also fall into it. Most of the money in his hands is invested by me, and Stoll also owns half of my shares, so I don't want both of you to lose money. However, perhaps you can keep an eye on the yen secretly. ”

"Yen?" Fren's eyes lit up. Sometimes, smart people can figure out the whole thing with just one hint.

Flon combined with the actions of some predators on Wall Street, and probably thought of something. He pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe I can follow behind and have a sip of soup." He knew it was too late to lay out. But now he is ready, and when the market breaks out, he will still be able to reap some benefits.

Hearing him say that, Link knew he wasn't going to take the risk.

Both Stoll and Geddes were on Wall Street, and Link didn't even have to take a car, he walked from Stoll to Geddes in less than ten minutes.

Claire Hawke picked up Link outside the company and led him to Neil Gadis's office.

Neil Geddes greeted Link inside the doorway of his office, and when he saw him, he reached out and said, "I'm sorry, Link. I can't let other people know about our relationship. He was explaining that he didn't go outside to greet him.

Link shook his hand and said, "I understand. I care about my money too!"

Neil smiled and gestured to him, "Please be seated." Why do you have to come to our company to meet this time?" Link asked him to meet, he wanted to go to Ozette to talk to Link. But Link insisted on coming to New York. He was curious about it.

The three sat down in the office.

Link gave a brief account of his establishment of the Ozette Investment Bank, and then said, "I put in three billion dollars, but the bank doesn't have a business yet." That money can't be put on an account. I hope to be in your company. ”

"You're going to put your money in Geddes? You know, my investment philosophy is very risky. That's not suitable for bank investment. "Although Neil is a master of speculation, he is good at both short and long. But his adventurous spirit led him to go short when he saw an opportunity.

Because the world economy is essentially on the rise. The stock market is also on an upward trend, with long investors accounting for the vast majority. So the risk of going short is much greater than going long.

Link laughed and said, "But I believe in your abilities." And I'm not going to put all my money in you. Just a billion. ”

"So, Mr. Hans. Claire Hawk said this is the interjection. "Is this billion a short-term operation or a long-term investment?"

"I want it to be a long-term investment. However, I hope that some of the profits will be returned to the bank account during the period. ”

When she heard that it was a long-term investment, Claire smiled on her face. "I guess that's fine," he said. Right, Neil!" Now the most lacking thing for them Gaddis is money.

Neil still pursed his lips. He seemed to think about it for a moment and said, "Link, you're going to put your money in Gadis, of course I'm welcome." But I must warn you of the risks. At the same time, I can't guarantee the yield. What he meant was that there was no guarantee that the funds would have the same rate of return as the last time Link had invested.

"Of course I want to be profitable every day, but I know it's not possible. And this is invested in the name of Ozette Bank. It's not the same thing as the money. ”

"It might even lose money. Of course, by that time, I was already bankrupt. ”

Link smiled and said, "I think you're more cautious now than ever. I also said plainly: if you become impetuous, I will redeem the funds immediately. "Just now Flon said that he felt that Neil had a big move, but he couldn't see what the movement was, and he could see that Neil's movements were very hidden during this time. This is his cautious performance, but it also shows that the billion dollars he took out this time should not be invested in that project.

"Okay, we'll sign the agreement later. "They have a fixed model for this kind of cooperation, and they don't need to talk too much about it at all.

Just take a few of the clauses in Gaddice's model contract and change them, and the agreement between them will be drawn up. The collaboration was completed, and as usual, the champagne was opened again to celebrate.

Neil couldn't help but ask Link, "Why do you have to come to Gaddis to talk?"

Link laughs, "Because I want people to know that I've set up a bank, but I don't want to advertise." ”

He believes that it should be safe to hand over the funds to Flen to operate, but the profit will be quite low. And to Neil, the risk will be high, but the profitability will be relatively high. He handed over three billion dollars to two people to operate, which can be regarded as a portfolio he made.

Plus, he's betting that Neil Geddes will rise again. It's much easier to invest in him now than when he becomes a predator again. Now is the best time to invest in Neil. As for the risks? Isn't that normal?

Link is not a Wall Street predator. But there is no journalist who eats on Wall Street who does not know him.

A few months ago, he spent less than three weeks on Wall Street, which bankrupted at least two dozen speculative institutions, and GE's stock is now no longer considered junk, but it is still teetering at the bottom.

Neil was originally the person who is in the spotlight on Wall Street right now, and he and Claire personally sent Link out of the building where the Gaddis company was located, and the reporters who were always waiting for news on Wall Street certainly did not turn a blind eye.

Neil is habitually cold to reporters, and he will not be interviewed by reporters casually. Link, on the other hand, was willing to be interviewed at this time. Then the person who ventilates the reporter is, of course, Claire.

In fact, during this time, the media has been staring at Geddeis for news of Neil's action again. That puts Claire under considerable pressure all the time. Once their layout is discovered, it will be difficult for him and Neil to turn over.

Now that Link has appeared, he is just announcing his cooperation with Link to divert the attention of the entire Wall Street.

"Yes, Mr. Hans and Geddes have signed a cooperation agreement. However, the design trade secret, the specific content of the cooperation is inconvenient to disclose. ”

Now Link is the one who the whole of America is more concerned about, and Neil is the one that Wall Street is paying attention to. Claire's words can make reporters dig deeper into specific things.

Link didn't have any obstacles to setting up a bank, so of course it was easy to find. And when that bank transferred a billion dollars to Geddece, that made a lot of Wall Street people watch the movement of that billion dollars.

At the same time, it also let many Americans know that Link turned into a banker.

Link's arrival in New York was also reported by reporters. When you see the report, almost all of you don't have any idea. After all, Link is a big living person, and he can go anywhere normally.

But for someone, seeing Link's news can be upset.
