Chapter 337: Caught in the Vortex
“……”
Looking at what was happening in front of him, Akmin was speechless for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info all of you here tonight are worth a lot of money, in the eyes of any bank and fund, they are the absolute top customers, under normal circumstances, investment fund companies are trying hard to curry favor with them, and strive to absorb more funds. However, here in Tang Bao, they have to take the initiative to fight and rush to hand over the funds to Tang Bao for management.
"It's really a different life!" The vice president of the Bank of Brazil, Gordon, secretly sighed that the Bank of Brazil has a variety of financial investment businesses, and it is not an ordinary effort to attract more investment and expand a few high-end customers. This kind of crazy grand occasion of investing without even careful consultation is unimaginable.
Of course.
Godfarn was only envious and emotional, but not surprised. In less than five years, Tang Bao has become the second richest person in the world, and no one will doubt his ability to create wealth. A series of brilliant and dazzling investment achievements have made countless peers envious, jealous and hateful.
"Asley, you coordinate this. I'll say hello to Horst and Li Xiaofeng! Ladies and gentlemen, if you are interested in investing, you can communicate directly with Asley. Tang Bao said.
"Yes, boss."
Asley smiled and nodded. With him coming forward to coordinate, he could indirectly use the resources of Phoenix Investment Group, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, the shrewd Asley naturally understood Tang Bao's intentions for the first time.
"Trouble President Asley......
"Mr. Asley, in the future, we will be more close."
"President Asley, I have a great collaborative project, make an appointment to talk about it?"
……
Compared to before, everyone was more enthusiastic about Asley. Even if there is no investment in the Phoenix Fund plan for the time being, it also shows goodwill.
We chatted for more than ten minutes.
Akmin said, "Feel free to do so, I'll help Mr. Tang introduce some new friends." "Cloor, Godfarn, Antonio and others are undoubtedly the most important guests of tonight's cocktail and must be taken care of first. But the feelings of other guests also need to be properly taken care of.
Otherwise.
Akmin was going to offend a large crowd.
"Good. Mr. Governor, Mr. Tang, please feel free. Everyone expressed their attitudes, they knew that it was impossible to occupy Tang Bao's time all the time.
Akmin accompanied Tang Bao into the crowd of people in the banquet hall, introducing some wealthy Brazilian businessmen and parliamentarians from time to time, and chatting casually.
Constantly weaving through the crowd, referrals, conversations...... Tang Bao's consciousness was a little trance-like, as if he had returned to his spy career in his previous life.
……
"Hi Moreira. Is his Phoenix Fund really that popular? Roberto, with his beard, approached his usually good friend Moreira and lowered his voice. His gaze stayed on Tang Bao in the middle of the banquet hall, and there was a faint doubt in his eyes.
Well.
There is still a little bit of suspicion.
"Hey. How popular is it? It's simply wildly sought after by investors! If you haven't invested in U.S. private equity funds, you may not know about ...... If you hire a U.S. investment advisor, the first priority he will recommend to you is the Phoenix Investment Group's funds, and he will remind you that the Phoenix Fund will no longer accept new outside investments. Moreira explained in a low voice. My U.S. investment advisor once told me that many investors took the initiative to approach Phoenix Investment Group with checks, and the management fees, commission sharing, etc., were arbitrarily charged, but Phoenix Investment Group did not accept them. And also...... Citibank, Chase, Wells Fargo and other bank wealth management departments, many insurance companies, investment banks, etc. are all active investors in Phoenix Fund. Even they have made an appointment in advance, waiting for Phoenix Fund to launch a new fund! The previous Phoenix Fund was so popular. Not long ago, Tang Bao earned more than $40 billion in the Japanese stock market, and this was only what he voluntarily disclosed, and the profits he concealed were probably even more. Think about it...... The Phoenix Fund is led by such an existence that can turn the hand into the rain in the international capital market, no matter how sought after, is not an exaggeration. ”
"Make $40 billion?!" Roberto's face was full of astonishment and shock.
"Hmm. Right. Tang Bao admitted it in front of dozens of reporters! Don't be surprised, I guess the real profit is much more than that. ”
"......," Roberto was silent for a long time before he said, "Wouldn't it be safe to leave the funds to him to take care of?" ”
"Huh. You're really right, the Phoenix Fund has been in operation for more than three years, and the worst-performing annual returns have exceeded 35%, and the best-performing Phoenix Pioneer Fund has an annual return of more than 100%...... They have never guaranteed a guaranteed profit, but the fact is that the fund has been making a profit, and it is a leader in the industry. Moreira said.
The worst performance can achieve an annual return of 35%.
Roberto was shocked, but also had the urge to invest. Unfortunately, he was able to sit here, not because of wealth, but because he was the president of the largest trade union in the state of São Paulo.
……
Tang Bao, who was busy shuttling and communicating at the cocktail party, naturally didn't know that someone was talking about him and the Phoenix Fund behind his back, of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised.
The results of the Phoenix Fund are there, and it is difficult to avoid attention.
"Ha, good evening, Mr. Tang, we meet again." Just after chatting with the CEO of a Brazilian state-owned enterprise, Tang Bao was about to take a break when a familiar voice disrupted his plan.
Looking in the direction of the voice, Tang Bao saw the person coming, and the expression of surprise on his face flashed.
"Huh. Asley, come here, come with me to meet a friend. Tang Bao smiled lightly and reminded Asley not far away, and then greeted him with a smile.
Forehead.
Ake, who had been with Tang Bao throughout the whole process, was secretly surprised, and couldn't understand why Tang Bao knew each other. However, he did not hesitate and quickly followed.
"President of Arnold. Hello! Tang Bao smiled and shook his hand. This is Asley, the president of the Americas Investment Group, and you will discuss with him about the specific cooperation in the future. ”
"Okay."
Yannuo was naturally happy to see Tang Bao so direct. To be honest, what he was most worried about was an accident, which was the reason why he came here tonight.
So.
He needed to communicate with Tang Bao again, "Governor Ackmin, I have some personal matters that I want to talk to Mr. Tang about...... You see? ”
"Okay, you talk slowly, I'll go greet the other guests!" Akmin was slightly stunned and said with a smile.
Seeing Akmin's figure leave, Arno turned to Tang Bao and said, "Mr. Tang, let's find a place to sit down and talk about it first!" ”
Well.
Tang Bao nodded slightly.
The reception was crowded, but it wasn't difficult to find a quiet corner. Everyone is busy meeting friends, discussing business cooperation, etc., and few people sit quietly to eat and drink.
"Mr. Tang, to tell you the truth, I came from the capital Brasilia, just to reconfirm the cooperation agreement between the two sides! However, just now you directly introduced me to President Asley, who is in charge of cooperation, and I was relieved, and it seems that my worries are unfounded. Arnold said.
"Worried? The business that I negotiated personally, even if it was just a verbal agreement, would not be ruined. I don't know why you're worried? Tang Bao shook his head.
Hear the words.
With a wry smile on his face, Arno explained, "Mr. Tang, please don't get me wrong, I'm not doubting your credit. It's just that I got the news that someone wants to sabotage your cooperation with me! Alan Pena, Vice President of Vale, is my biggest competitor within Vale. If nothing happens, he will contact you in the next two days and persuade you to give up a billion dollars of loans to Vale! ”
Arnold tried to broker a billion-dollar loan deal, but Aaron wanted to sabotage it. The two are both vice presidents of Vale and rivals.
Tang Bao thought with his toes, knowing that this was an internal struggle of Vale. To his frustration, he didn't expect that just a loan contract would actually involve him in the whirlpool.
Right now.
No matter how Tang Bao chooses, it is impossible to stay out of the matter. Continuing to execute the loan contract offended Aaron Pena, whom he had not yet met, and if he tore up the contract, he would offend Arnold to death. They are all vice presidents of Vale, Tang Bao hopes that both sides will not be offended, but he knows that not offending both sides also means offending both at the same time. Arno and Aaron are obviously on the same page, and Tang Bao must choose a side.
Since he had to choose, one was an acquaintance who had some basis for cooperation, and the other was a stranger he had never met, Tang Bao naturally chose to support Arnold.
Maybe.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the relationship between him and Arnold will become even closer!
"Ha, President Arnold, put your heart in your belly. Don't say I don't know who Alan Pena is, and even if I do, I don't have the right to change my decision. A billion-dollar loan contract, nothing will happen. You can also negotiate with Asley overnight, sign a contract, and transfer money! Tang Bao said categorically.
"Well, it's better that way. We preemptively secured the loan contract, and when the time comes, Aaron will put pressure on you, and you will have a reason to shirk it. Arnold said.
Then.
Arnold added, "Mr. Tang, thank you very much for your support. I have a lot of connections in the field of minerals and energy in Brazil, and if you have any problems in the future, you can come to me to solve them. Of course, I will also try to push Vale to strengthen its cooperation with the Americas Investment Group! ”
Tang Bao smiled with satisfaction.
What is it that shows a strong support for Arnold? Isn't that all? It would be best if Arno could offer it.
"Okay. Asley, you negotiated a loan contract with President Arnold. Get all the processes done as fast as possible! Tang Bao said to Asley.
"Understood."
Asley nodded. Before, Tang Bao had introduced the loan to him in detail, and afterwards, he had also seen the initialed loan contract.
"Mr. Tang, then I won't bother. President Asley, please! Arnold said. After a few words, Arno suddenly turned back and reminded in a low voice, "Mr. Tang, Aaron is a very arrogant and powerful person, if you offend him head-on, it may cause trouble for your business in Brazil!" (To be continued.) )
