John. Paulson had come to London to meet Mr. Zhang.

This surprised Zhang Bin.

As for who revealed the news, needless to say, it must be Ivre.

Zhang Bin's funds in Paulson's hedge fund are still in charge of Ivel.

With a total of 730 million US dollars, invested in it again, the means and courage of such investment made Eivor only sigh in his heart, it was really terrifying.

As one of the largest investors in hedge funds, Paulson came to visit Zhang Bin, one to thank Zhang Bin for his support, and the other to see if he could get some investment from Zhang Bin.

Last year alone, Paulson's fund received $7 billion in investment, while Zhang personally contributed $500 million.

Mr. Paulson, a staunch supporter of the subprime mortgage crisis, felt it would come in the first half of 2009 at the latest, and before that time he hoped to make more money.

Paulson, who is 53 years old this year, looks like a typical capitalist, wearing a pair of glasses and a suit and leather collar, which is very much in line with Zhang Bin's image of a capitalist.

"Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you," Paulson and Zhang Bin hugged each other as soon as they met, as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"Mr. John, it's an honor to meet you," Zhang Bin said with a smile.

Dealing with such predators, he began to cope more and more easily.

After a few small talks, Paulson began to lobby Zhang Bin in the hope that he would make a bigger investment.

Zhang Bin is not surprised, there is only one possibility for capitalists to come to the door, looking for money, it may be that you owe them money, or they want you to give more money.

Zhang Bin didn't plan to give Paulson more money directly, because he really ran out of money.

But he wants more out of Paulson.

Since Paulson's best skill is to go short, Zhang doesn't mind telling him about a few companies that are about to file for bankruptcy or are about to be acquired, so he might be able to make a decent amount of money.

Paulson didn't see any expression when he left, but Zhang Bin was in a good mood.

Because the 23rd is his birthday, Zhang Bin must leave tonight.

So I made several phone calls urging Ivre.

Ivor said it would take three days, but one day was enough.

Although a company like Goldman Sachs Group will not raise a billion dollars from a person casually, they will not hesitate to do so if they can see the benefits in this person.

On the evening of the 21st, Ivort and Zhang Bin had a long meeting at the Goldman Sachs London Investment Bank.

600 million US dollars, plus the 600 million US dollars in Hao Ren's hands before, all bought Brent crude oil futures.

What Zhang Bin needs to pay is a three-point interest rate and a 1% profit share.

At ten o'clock in the evening of the 21st, Zhang Bin and his entourage boarded the plane.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 22nd, at twelve o'clock in the evening of Yanjing time, Zhang Bin rushed back to Yulin Xiangan.

At this time, Zhao Min and the others had not slept yet.

There was no time to rest, so Zhang Bin asked about his plans for tomorrow.

Zhao Min told Zhang Bin that she had booked a place at the Wanda Hotel, and tomorrow the entire hall on the first floor would be contracted by them to be in charge of tomorrow's birthday party.

This is not a lot of tables, in short, how many people come, the hotel can run as many tables.

The standard of drinks is 1,288 yuan per table, and the hotel has reduced 400 yuan, and the original price is 1,688 per table.

Zhao Min sent invitations to everyone he could think of, since he wanted to do it, he would do it generously, anyway, Zhang Bin is now in Longyang City, and everyone knows about it.

Zhao Min estimated the approximate number of people.

On the Zhao family's side, Zhao Min's father's brothers and sisters, and his mother's brothers and sisters are estimated to have seven or eight tables, but Zhang Bin has no relatives, only some classmates.

Zhao Min has contacted the Longyang City Passenger Transport Company, tomorrow before dawn there will be a bus to the town, pick up relatives in the family, in order to prevent accidents, more than 50 buses went to a total of two.

Zhao Min's classmates, colleagues, Zhang Bin's classmates, colleagues, and business partners, in fact, it is estimated that there are only fifty or sixty tables, after all, the two are young, and there are not many acquaintances and friends.

It's just that on the question of whether to receive gifts, the two young people and the old man have different opinions.

Zhang Bin and Zhao Min meant not to accept gifts, but Zhao's father and Zhao's mother insisted on receiving gifts.

"Receiving a gift is not about how much money is received, this is a human exchange, we have this gift list, who has a happy event or something in the future, we also have a comparison, otherwise who came and who didn't come has no number in my heart", Zhao's mother explained.

"Otherwise, you won't accept gift money, and you can just register with the guests," Zhang Bin said.

Everyone thinks this is okay, anyway, Zhang Bin's identity is not bad for this money.

At eight o'clock the next morning, the family packed up after eating, and at half past nine, the group drove to the Wanda Hotel.

Early in the morning, Wanda Hotel also began to get busy.

Today is the birthday of Mr. Zhang Bin, one of the three giants of Longyang City, and it is also their honor to be able to choose Wanda Hotel.

You must know that when a person like Zhang Bin holds a birthday, what level of people come can be guessed with his feet, so the hotel can't afford not to pay attention to it.

As soon as the morning dawned, the manager Xu Songye gathered hundreds of employees of the hotel and began to instruct that everyone will serve today's birthday party except for leaving a part of the service staff to be responsible for the previous guests.

In a word, those who came to the hotel today must be big people, and they must not make mistakes.

Zhang Bin's car arrived at the hotel, and the manager came out to greet him.

"Mr. Zhang", the manager personally opened the door to Zhang Bin, which was very intimate.

"Manager Xu, have the accommodation and banquet been arranged?" Zhang Bin looked at Xu Songye, the manager of Wanda Hotel, and said.

"Mr. Zhang rest assured, everything is ready, just waiting for the guests to arrive," Xu Songye replied with a smile.

This is not the first time that Zhao's father and Zhao's mother have come to Wanda Hotel, Zhang Bin ate here on Zhao's mother's birthday before.

After staying in Longyang City for half a year, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother's temperament has changed somewhat, especially Zhao's mother, who is not too old, and knows how to take care of herself in the past few months.

The manager of Wanda Hotel came out to greet him in person, and his attitude was so polite, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were inevitably a little proud in their hearts, and they felt a little lighter when they walked.

Because of today's peculiarities, the hotel rejects all outside business and has enough space in front of it for parking during peak traffic periods.

At a little past ten o'clock, Zhang Bin's family stood outside waiting for the guests, Manager Xu also waited with some people, and the others began to perform their duties, because there was about to usher in a peak period of passenger flow.

The first wave of guests welcomed by Zhang Bin's family was none other than the two buses that set off for Zhao Min's hometown before dawn.

The bus stopped at the door of the hotel, and many relatives of the Zhao family began to come down one by one.

Almost all people are coming to such a hotel for the first time, although some people in Longyang City are not coming for the first time, but this grade of hotel is definitely the first time.

When everyone saw that the treat was here, they all believed one thing, that is, Zhao Youliang definitely found a rich son-in-law.

Zhao Youliang is the name of Zhao's father.

In the car, someone who knew the situation said that Zhao Youliang and his wife had already gone to the provincial capital and were picked up by his daughter and future son-in-law, saying that they were very rich in the provincial capital.

Last time, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother went back to save their relatives, and the clothes and gifts they brought back really made the relatives and friends at home envious.

"His second brother is here, just right, help your eldest brother say hello", Zhao's mother smiled and stepped forward to say to a middle-aged man.

"Brother and sister, I've worked hard for you, I'm afraid my sister-in-law won't be able to greet me today."

"Third aunt, you are here too, it's so polite to travel so far."

Zhao's mother was busy greeting guests, while Zhao's father pulled the driver to stuff a red envelope with 500 yuan in it.

This can make the driver happy, five hundred yuan, this is not a small amount of money for them, it seems that rich people are happy to do things.

At the door of the hotel, Zhang Bin and Zhao Min began to receive guests one by one.

"This is the second uncle, my father's younger brother, this is the second mother", Zhao Min began to introduce Zhang Bin one by one.

"Second uncle is good, second mother is good", Zhang Bin greeted with a smile.

"Okay", the second uncle shook hands with Zhang Bin, and was invited in by the waiter.

Relatives from small towns, first time in such a place, always a little restrictive.

Everyone is required to write their name at the door, and there is a special person who is responsible for writing the gift list.

Many people are a little surprised when they hear that they don't accept gift money, where is there a treat that doesn't accept gift money, but when you think that people are so rich, you won't be short of this money.

In order to take care of everyone's emotions, the hotel arranged these people in the private room at the end.

It is said to be a private room, but in fact, it is in a small area separated by the hotel lobby, which is considered a special treatment.

A total of eighty-nine people came, eight people per table, and eleven tables were arranged.

With the arrival of the first wave of guests, the rest of the crowd began to flow.

First of all, Song Zhichao, who had just finished the exam, and the entire 105 dormitory, brought their girlfriends over.

Even a lot of people in the class came, which made Zhang Bin a little surprised.

Zhao Min's friends and colleagues also came.

Many employees from the group headquarters, Tianyu Media, and the Animation and Animation Division have come.

There were also school leaders, including the leaders of Zhang Bin High School.

Zhang Bin and Zhao Min were busy greeting everyone, but everyone understood that Mr. Zhang did not necessarily know him.

So simply take a look, everyone left a name, that is, they entered the hall, and found a table to sit down at each other.

Zhang Bin and Zhao Min's colleagues, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, didn't know each other, so they both went to the places where relatives and friends were.

"Brother Zhao, I see that the two of you have a good life now, and you have found such a good son-in-law", a friend shouted at the two.

"This is someone Xiaomin has the ability, I look good when I am a child, and I can't marry a rich man when I grow up", another woman said with a smile.

"Boss Zhao, how much money does your son-in-law have, I think such a big hotel seems to have been chartered", someone asked with a smile.

"I don't know how much it is, but it seems that there are a few companies or something, as for the house, there are several sets in Longyang City, I heard Xiaomin say, this child has a lot of real estate in Yanjing City", Zhao's mother said proudly.

"Yanjing City has a house, your son-in-law looks amazing, Boss Zhao, since your son-in-law has so many companies, let's see if I can arrange my second child casually", someone began to say.

Everyone's gossip made Zhao's father and Zhao's mother overwhelmed.

Outside, Wei Tingjin and Qiao Zhenliang also came, including several managers of the group headquarters, the chairman's birthday, if you don't invite guests, if you don't come, then it's your fault.

The time came to half past eleven at noon, and some heavyweight guests came.

Chen Yuliang came, Yu Junxue came, and most importantly, the relevant leaders of the government also came.

Even Zhang Bin was helpless at this moment, he didn't think that these people would come.

So he and Zhao Min were busy greeting these people.

"President Chen, you are a busy man", Zhang Bin shook hands with Chen Yuliang and said with a smile.

"No matter how busy you are, can Mr. Zhang not come for a treat?" Chen Yuliang said with a smile.

In the end, the people were almost here, and Zhang Bin began to arrange it.

Chen Yuliang, Yu Junxue and others were naturally arranged together, and Zhang Bin wanted to accompany them.

Of course, Wei Tingjin and other people sat together, and the company's senior personnel alone sat at five or six tables, and some deputy general managers and the like also took the opportunity to mingle with several high-level executives.

A birthday party is a bit like a dinner party for elites in a shopping mall.

Then there are the employees below, classmates, some leaders, and finally relatives and friends in Zhao Min's hometown.

There are a total of one hundred and eighty-six tables, which greatly exceeds Zhang Bin's estimate.

Almost all the employees of the group came.

There were many people, and everyone took advantage of the excitement to toast Zhang Bin.

Zhang Bin knew that he couldn't escape today, so he didn't refuse, some tasted it, and some had a drink.

After the whole banquet, Zhang Bin was already drunk and was arranged by the hotel to rest in a room.

Yu Junxue and Chen Yuliang, as well as the directors of some large companies, saw that Zhang Bin was almost gone, and everyone said goodbye and left.

Today, the main thing is to express a heart, everyone will be doing business in Longyang City in the future, and those who can take care of it still hope to take care of it more.

Zhang Bin was drunk, and of course Wei Tingjin and Song Zhichao, their own people, had to help Zhao Min do a good job of dealing with the aftermath.

Relatives and friends who want to go, which ones are willing to stay, arrange car delivery, arrange room rest, play cards and mahjong or something.

It was busy until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone was quiet.

Zhao Min finally sent Wei Tingjin and them out of the hotel.

Wang Hongyu, Liu Shishi, and Song Zhichao said that they had to stay at night.

In the evening, the meal is much simpler, nothing more than a meal for some people close to you, mainly eating soup pots.

There are more than 20 relatives and friends who stayed, all of whom want to play in Longyang City for a few days.

Of course, Zhang Bin didn't mind, and told them that they could stay as long as they wanted, and arrange for someone to take them around tomorrow.

Zhang Bin slept until six o'clock before getting up, and then continued to eat dinner.

After drinking wine, eating a warm soup pot, I suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.

In the evening, after settling the relatives and friends who stayed, Zhang Bin's family went back.

After returning home, Zhao Min and Zhang Bin said that today's consumption is a total of 360,000 yuan, not counting the accommodation and catering expenses of the remaining relatives.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were also taken aback when they heard this number, they spent so much money today, it seems that this high-end hotel is different.

But Zhang Bin didn't care how much money was spent, his only thought was that it was finally over.
