Chapter 995: Wall Street Debuts
On the 28th, Lin Qiangsheng came to the Times Square Hotel in New York to participate in the Wall Street Forum held here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He met with Jones of the Duze Fund first, and the two sides did not dwell on the previous matter, but Jones was very enthusiastic to introduce Lin Johnson to the host of the forum, Robert Warren, CEO of Barron's.
Robert warmly welcomed the arrival of the two, and he was also informed by Jones in advance, knowing that this Chinese young man who was dominating on Wall Street was coming, and this was the first time that Lin Johnson took the initiative to come to the front of the stage and appeared on Wall Street.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen well-dressed financial people in the venue, and there were also many reporters and photographers hiding around to debug the equipment, with seats in the middle, most of the guests were chatting around, and more people were walking into the venue.
"There are a lot of people here today!" Lin Johnson and Jones turned around, but he met many great gods of Wall Street finance.
Jones handed Lin Johnson a drink, took one for himself, and looked around: "There are many top Wall Street people gathered here, that is Julian Robertson, the founder of the Tiger Fund, and the hedge fund he leads has an annual return of more than 30%, and he is the man of the year on Wall Street!" ”
Following the direction of Jones's toast, Lin Qiangsheng saw a tall man surrounded in the crowd not far away, this person's forehead to the back of his head were protruding, white, shining in the light, Lin Qiangsheng couldn't help but smile and said: "Tiger Fund, the name is very loud!" ”
Julian Robertson also saw Jones and Lin Johnson, he waved his hand to Jones, Jones also nodded slightly, turned to Lin Johnson and said: "Tiger Fund has also made a lot of profits in this stock market crash!" ”
Lin Qiangsheng nodded, looked around, and asked, "What other important people?" ”
"There are a lot of big people, and the one with glasses and thick hair is Soros, who this year established the Soviet Soros Foundation in Hungary, and it was also this year that he was hired as the chief economist of the Senate Banking Committee!"
Lin Qiangsheng looked at Soros not far away with some surprise, and couldn't imagine that this financial predator is not engaged in finance now, but has done a lot of public affairs.
The two turned around casually, many investors and elites in the financial industry knew Paul Jones, but they were not so familiar with Lin Johnson, and when they learned that the Chinese in front of them was the biggest winner of this financial crash, they looked at this young man carefully.
Of course, Lin Qiangsheng's face has matured a lot over the years, and he has changed a lot, and for a while, everyone did not associate him with the young man who had become famous in the gold market in the 80s.
The forum soon began, at this time there were more than 50 guests in the audience, all sat down, Robert first said a few words of congratulations, and then invited several famous financial figures to the stage as guests, they sat on the sofa like a talk show, face-to-face talk.
Lin Qiangsheng found that both the host and the guests first talked about the impact of the stock market crash.
Black Monday, October 19, did cause a big shock to the U.S. and global stock markets. In response to the stock market crash, Hong Kong went so far as to forcibly close the market for several days, which dealt a great blow to the world's confidence in the Hong Kong stock market and also left the seeds for a long-term downturn in the Hong Kong stock market in the future.
However, as far as Lin Qiangsheng knows, the real impact of this time is far less strong than it has shown in the financial markets.
Moreover, this crash, in a sense, is still an effective squeeze of the water in the financial market, and the business community did not react much after the crash, which is the best proof.
The forum lasted for half an hour, and the guests on the stage had a meaningless debate, and the moderator, Robert, ended the first discussion in time with a five-minute intermission.
"Next, we have invited Mr. Lin Qiangsheng of Dongxing Electronics to the stage as a guest of the second session!" As soon as the second session of the conference began, Robert Warren announced.
"Allow me to introduce to you, because this gentleman's background is mysterious, although he invests in finance as an individual investor, his record on Wall Street is definitely the best among you!"
"Oh!" There was a commotion at the scene, and people who knew Lin Qiangsheng looked at him one after another.
Lin Qiangsheng got up, Paul Jones applauded next to him, and walked onto the stage under the guidance of the guide, he also learned that Warren would invite him as a guest, and he gladly accepted.
After Robert invited him to sit down, he said to the audience: "We have Paul Duze Jones of the Duze Fund again, you should know very well, this young man is very good at financial speculation, his fund annual profit margin is above 100%, Paul was also selected as the most valuable CEO in the financial industry!" ”
In the applause of everyone, Paul Jones also came to the stage reservedly, Lin Qiangsheng smiled and muttered: "This guy is the person welcomed by Wall Street!" ”
The atmosphere was noticeably more enthusiastic, in stark contrast to the cold scene when he took the stage.
"Please, Senate Banking Committee Chief Economist, George Soros!"
"Please, famous economic analyst and forecasting guru, Byron Wayne!"
Two older economic and financial experts sat together, and Lin Qiangsheng and Paul sat together.
The host Robert first asked Lin Johnson: "Lin, as far as I know, you made a lot of money during the stock market crash, can you tell us how much you earned?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, those who are interested will find that I and Mr. Paul Jones's speculative methods are the same, and I have made big bets in both the index futures and bond markets." Our investment strategy turned out to work, I invested a total of 3 billion dollars and made about 150% profit! ”
Robert was also a little surprised, and the audience sitting below was even more shocked, in fact, Lin Qiangsheng still said less.
"Why would you be sure that the 19th would crash, if you misjudged?" Robert then asked.
Lin Qiangsheng shrugged his shoulders: "If you make a mistake, then there will definitely be no $3 billion, but fortunately I won!" ”
Robert turned to Soros: "George, Lin's amount of money is so large, will his actions affect the banking industry's action to save the stock market?" ”
Lin Qiangsheng's eyes condensed slightly, Robert said this very much at himself, he looked at the audience, and sure enough, many people nodded.
George Soros shook his head: "First, I don't think Mr. Lin is breaking the law by doing this, and secondly, his investment behavior has not had an impact on the banking industry. It should be noted that Lin is just one of many investors! ”
Lin Qiangsheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his favor for Soros suddenly increased, this old man was still very realistic, and helped him at a critical moment. (To be continued.) )
