Chapter 430: Steve. Balmer
As Ivor saw more benefits in Zhang Bin, Goldman Sachs Group also began to pour a lot of effort into Zhang Bin, such as protecting his existence, not divulging Zhang Bin's funds, and the safety of Hao Ren.
You must know that once the news that Zhang Bin has so much money in futures is revealed, the hidden dangers will be very big.
So far, Mr. Zhang's futures funds in various markets have reached $4.2 billion, not counting his investments in Paulson's hedge funds.
And Zhang Bin every month in Bill. Gates bought one million shares of Apple stock, and as Apple's stock has been declining this year, Zhang Bin now only needs about $80 million to buy one million shares.
So far, Zhang Bin has bought a total of Bill. All the 10 million shares in Gates' hands, according to the real-time price of the month, spent a total of about 930 million US dollars, and this money is paid every month.
This money is taken out of the futures market, so a total of more than 900 million US dollars has been withdrawn from futures so far.
And according to the stock market price at this time, Zhang Bin actually lost a lot.
But what he wants is this delusion, what is contrarian investment? It's that others feel that they have lost, but you feel that you have won.
Excluding the investment of hedge funds and Apple, Zhang Bin still has $4.2 billion left, and there is also $1.1 billion from Goldman Sachs.
Four billion dollars are used to operate futures, which is actually not much, compared with some large families and huge investments, people's funds that shrink or come in a year are billions of dollars.
In the second half of the year, Zhang Bin's investment task is mainly to short futures, and crude oil, copper, and soybeans will face a sharp decline.
08 is the most unpredictable year in the futures market, and most of the opportunities for Zhang Bin to make money are here.
Without hesitation, if Zhang Bin wants to amass wealth, the second half of the year is an opportunity.
But he was too thin to rely on, and he still needed to find some helpers, which was the main reason why he went abroad this time.
After all, his personal strength is too thin, and he must have the support of some tough people in the background to be able to do a big job.
After all, Zhang Bin can't hide it this time, and Goldman Sachs Group has a hard time trying to cover up billions of dollars of investment, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will leak secrets, so Zhang Bin simply does it openly.
In order to reduce his own safety risks, Zhang Bin needs to find a strong enough helper, and he already has several good candidates in mind.
If he just watched such a good opportunity slip away, Zhang Bin was unwilling, and it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity in the future.
Ivor was originally in charge of business in London, but this time because Zhang Bin came to Washington, he naturally rushed over to discuss things.
"I'm going out tomorrow, and if Ivor comes, you can help me receive it," Zhang Bin said.
"No problem, everyone is an old acquaintance, he won't care", Hao Ren smiled.
If everything goes well, Goldman Sachs Group may be able to earn more than $300 million in profits from Zhang Bin this year, and Zhang Bin also promised to buy $200 million in bonds, which is simply not too proud.
At noon, Zhang Bin and Hao Ren ate this meal together.
Hao Ren and Wang Zihang have been staying abroad, and some habits have changed somewhat, at least they won't refuse to eat Western food too much, but as long as they have the opportunity, the three of them will still cook Chinese food at home.
So when he returned to the hotel at noon, Wang Feng cooked and made a Chinese meal to eat.
Everyone eats in an atmosphere, they are all partners with a good relationship, and there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Wu Long and Chen Yi also had a place, and eight people sat at a big table, which made Wang Feng feel that it was rare to be lively here.
After dinner, Zhang Bin went to Microsoft.
He came by invitation this time.
Gates knew that he was coming to Washington this time, and specially invited Zhang Bin to come to the company, and he wanted to ask him about some work matters.
Gates has something to ask Zhang Bin about work?
It may sound impossible, but it's true.
That year, Zhang Bin took a few vulnerabilities and asked Gates for $50 million, which made Gates remember it vividly, and he wanted to see if Zhang Bin could find new vulnerabilities.
The development of Win7 has now entered the most critical time, and the development has been completed in many places, but it needs to go through a lot of testing to complete the final version, Gates thought of Zhang Bin.
This time Zhang Bin came here to be treated differently, Gates personally led people to greet him at the door, and this honor is not something that anyone can get.
"You're going to make me feel too high-profile," Zhang Bin said with a smile as he shook Gates' hand.
"I'm going to do it to anyone who can help Microsoft," Gates said with a smile, putting his arm around Zhang's shoulders and entering the building.
The guests who were able to receive Gates so warmly, everyone expressed a strong enough curiosity.
In the office, Gates introduced another person, Microsoft's CEO, Steve Brown. Balmer, the one who has been with Microsoft through thick and thin.
"Nice to meet you, we shouldn't have met for the first time", Steve seems to be more talkative, giving people a sense of approachability.
"Of course, the first time I met you was when I met Mr. Gates for the first time, and unfortunately I left in a hurry," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's not too late," laughs Steve.
After small talk, Gates began to get into the whole.
He took the computer, put it in front of Zhang Bin, and said with a smile: "This is the Win7 system that we are preparing to officially release at the beginning of next year, you can help us see if there is anything that needs to be filled."
Zhang Bin shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not a professional."
Steve laughed: "Of course, we hope that you can find enough loopholes for us within two months, and we can buy each vulnerability for 10 million US dollars, no matter how big or small, please forgive me for being so worldly, but I don't know how to make you feel that it is worth doing this."
Zhang Bin was a little surprised, surprised by Microsoft's simplicity and generosity.
Before, he sold so many loopholes at one time for only 50 million US dollars, and now he has 10 million for a piece, which seems to be generous enough.
I have to say that this price is also determined according to Zhang Bin's identity.
In the past, let Zhang Bin do things, as long as the price was not too low, but now let Zhang Bin do things, the price must be satisfied.
Zhang Bin closed the computer and prepared to take it back to make a show.
Win7What are the vulnerabilities?,He has some impressions in his heart.,But it's not comprehensive.,But as long as you can find some of them.,How can you really find them all.。
Win7 Zhang Bin has been used for several years, and he is too familiar to be familiar with it.
And the release of Win7 is also a bumpy road, saying that it will be the beginning of next year, but because of the leakage incident, it will not be considered to be fully developed until July next year, and it will not be officially released until October, which has been postponed for half a year.
"Don't worry, I will do my best, it has always been my dream to be able to cooperate with a company like Microsoft, and I think I should make my dream come true now," Zhang Bin said with a smile.
"Zhang, I am very happy about what you said, although I think you did it on purpose", Steve said with a smile, as if he was in a good mood.
"Of course, I also have a request to talk to your company", Zhang Bin paused, glanced at the two of them and said, "Well, how about it as a technology exchange?" ”
