For financiers in Washington, the name Zhang Bin is still very unfamiliar, or at least unheard of.

But George. Steve, John. Paulson and others are all well-known figures in the financial circle, and they have almost stayed in the Hanton Hotel, which has caused many people to speculate at once.

The Hanton Hotel is also starting to get more attention.

A figure like Paulson, once he comes to a certain place, is bound to attract a large number of visitors.

The title of the first person in a hedge fund is not for nothing.

On the evening of the 23rd, Zhang Bin had dinner with everyone invited.

The dinner was all about Global Investments.

He was the host, and the guests were Ivor, who represented Goldman Sachs, Johnson, who represented the Bank of Montreal, Stephen, who represented Bombardier, and Paulson.

These are the few people and the forces behind Zhang Bin found this time.

Of course, it still looks a little thin, but there are two heavyweight guests, one is Gates, and the other is Warren Buffett.

The roles of Buffett and Gates are both used to build momentum, which can be regarded as a kind of protection in disguise.

However, in order to build momentum this time, Zhang Bin also paid a great price.

On the 22nd, the Washington Post reported a shocking news that someone donated $10 million to the Glade Charitable Foundation, hoping to get a lunch opportunity for Buffett.

As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar.

Soon, major newspapers and the Internet carried a lot of reports on this news.

The uproar is that the bid is so high that it is unprecedented.

Since the auction of Warren Buffett's lunch began in 2,000 years, the highest price in history was $2.11 million in June this year, and the bidder was still Chinese, Zhao Dongyang, who is known as the "father of private equity" in China.

And now someone wants to buy a lunch for Warren Buffett with 10 million dollars.

Many people are exclaiming that if Buffett agrees, it will be a sky-high lunch.

Many people are looking for the person behind the scenes, wanting to see what this person is about, and he will spend so much money just to be able to have a meal with Warren Buffett.

The Washington Post, which reported on the matter for the first time, was silent about the matter, apparently reaching some confidentiality agreement with the person who released the news.

Since there is no information about the person who contributed the money, everyone's eyes have shifted to Buffett.

Everyone knows that the auction of Warren Buffett's lunch is a public welfare event, starting with two thousand years, and there have been nine auctions this year, once a year, which is the custom.

But now some people are willing to pay 10 million to buy it once, and I don't know how Buffett himself will answer.

At this time, Zhang Bin was drinking with Paulson and others at the Hanton Hotel.

"Everyone, I've already released the news, and now it's time for us to determine our respective shares", Zhang Bin raised his glass and invited everyone to raise a glass together.

Drinking the red wine in the glass, Johnson expressed his feelings.

"Zhang, I have to admit, you're a generous man, $10 million for a lunch, my God, he's enough for me to work for decades, or you hire me," Johnson joked.

That's right, the person who bought Buffett's lunch for $10 million this time was Zhang Bin.

If you want to have lunch with Buffett, Zhang Bin can of course go through Gates's relationship, he believes that this will not be too much of a problem, although Buffett is difficult to meet, but with Gates's relationship with him, it is no problem to take some time to meet Zhang Bin.

But such a meeting is meaningless, Zhang Bin just wants to make this meeting known to everyone.

The best excuse is Buffett's lunch, of course, Zhang Bin can say that he will take four million, five million, but this seems insincere, and another one is not shocking enough.

In exchange for $10 million for a sustained report, Zhang Bin felt that the money was well spent.

And the effect of this 10 million is much more than that.

"Zhang, I want to ask, what if Buffett doesn't agree, then what will you do next?" Stephen asked Zhang Bin.

The reason why Stephen dared to come over to participate in this cooperation this time was because of the record of Zhang Bin's futures investment given by Goldman Sachs and Paulson, a big man.

Paulson was very impressed with Zhang Bin's words, saying that many of Zhang's investment judgments were very accurate and full of opinions, which was why Stephen agreed to come and cooperate.

And the relationship between Zhang Bin and Gates is also the reason for Stephen's consideration, since so many people trust Zhang Bin, it shows that Zhang Bin is a trustworthy investor.

Bombardier is in a position where it needs a strong investor to help it get out of it.

Zhang Bin got up in person, filled everyone up, and said with a confident smile: "I can assure you here that Mr. Buffett will definitely agree to my request."

Whether it's for Gates' face or the $10 million face, Buffett will agree to him.

As for Gates, Zhang Bin promised him that he would do his best to find loopholes this time.

Microsoft has high hopes for the release of Win7, and all Gates also has great hopes for Zhang Bin.

Of course, Zhang Bin is just an assistant, and the main thing is Microsoft's own problem.

Gates said that he would help him, as for the reason, maybe there is a relationship between friends, maybe because of this cooperation, or maybe there is also a relationship with Melinda.

This is the foundation of Zhang Bin's self-confidence.

Seeing Zhang Bin so confident, the others also began to ponder, if this matter is successful, then how much profit Zhang Bin can bring them next.

The reason why they are willing to come to the Hunton Hotel is that they have taken a fancy to Zhang Bin's investment skills, and the so-called relationships are all fake, or they are all established in interests.

There is a good saying that there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

"Zhang, how much money do you need, can you tell us?" Paulson looked at Zhang Bin and said that as one of the biggest beneficiaries of the financial crisis, Paulson's vision has changed dramatically, and ordinary people can not leave him.

But Zhang Bin is different, not to mention the billion US dollars that Zhang Bin invested in his foundation, now that Zhang Bin wants to invest, he also hopes to get a piece of the pie.

Just as Zhang Bin believes that his foundation will definitely make money, he also believes that Zhang Bin's investment this time will definitely make money.

Zhang Bin smiled, took a shallow sip, and put down the cup.

"There is no upper limit to this cooperation, you are all shareholders, how much you are willing to pay, I will return all the proceeds to you at that time, well, in other words, how much money you are willing to pay, and finally we will pay dividends according to the proportion of capital contribution", Zhang Bin said.

When others heard this, they immediately became a little unsure, there is no upper limit? Doesn't this mean that depending on how much I believe in you, if I believe that you can make money, then invest more, and if you don't believe much, then invest less.

"Zhang, I want to ask, how much profit can you make for us?" That's what investors are most concerned about, Johnson said.

"Within this year, at least 20%," Zhang Bin affirmed.

This is actually a very conservative number, according to his own ideas, Zhang Bin feels that by the end of the year, 30% of the profit is no problem, as long as you are willing to pay.

But he can't say that, as a successful investor, he can't leave other investors with a show of hubris, it's always right to be conservative, in case the market changes because of so much money injected who knows.
