Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

This rare Buffett lunch finally became heated up by the topic of philanthropy, and the content of the conversation was not limited to charity, but expanded to many fields. Rich people of Warren Buffett's age like to spend real money in the field of life and medicine. The old man in front of him, who is said to be the smartest in the world's financial field, is no exception, and he mentioned some of his scientific research projects in Canada, and his words are still a little embarrassed. No matter how much people can see through the red dust, at this age, they will feel that youth and a healthy life are the most precious, not to mention that this kind of wealth has reached the level of wealth that the world envies.

Cheng Shuixin holds a notebook in her hand and writes down what Buffett says from time to time. In Buffett's view, this kind of behavior is understandable, every investor wants to get advice from himself, and if there is a young and beautiful girl who is willing to write down what he says, he is of course still happy.

Several people have gradually talked about the current high-tech industry from the medical field, and Buffett actually has more say in this regard, and his friend is the world's most famous spokesperson for science and technology. But for the changes of the current era, this old man also showed a cautious attitude.

"I feel like Microsoft is going downhill right now."

Of course, this is not only Buffett's own conclusion, but also the common view of the entire technology field. Microsoft's operating system position is not yet under strong threat, but in the browser market, the company is starting to show that it is not as gratifying as it used to be.

Small tech companies, internet startups, and the rise of the smartphone market are making it increasingly difficult for the giant Microsoft.

"Actually, it's not that Microsoft doesn't want to change, right?" Cheng Shuixin still has a certain say in this regard, and humbly asked, "It is said that it is especially difficult for giants to turn around." All of Microsoft's divisions now revolve around its operating system services, as well as the enterprise services area, and those pies can't be impacted. In such a company, it is simply too difficult to make an innovative project that does not conflict with the previous market. ”

Warren Buffett nodded approvingly: "This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also because the current market is changing too fast, and large companies like Microsoft can only learn from the innovation of other companies." While this method is despicable, it is the safest and most conservative approach for large companies. ”

Cheng Shuixin remembered that Microsoft Japan had found a light touch to add desktop expansion games on indos7, and couldn't help but laugh: "Microsoft is also trying to adapt to these changes, but they have been successful for too long and have forgotten how to be a warrior." ”

"There are hidden dangers behind the great success of most companies." Warren Buffett sighed, "The current economic downturn is a testament to this, people are getting lost more and more time, and they can't find their way." ”

"Every kind of rapid growth will always bring huge negative hidden dangers, which is the inevitable development of the economy." Yang Bingbing said, "In fact, we think that the next gathering point of wealth is likely to be in the entertainment field of the Internet." ”

Buffett was noncommittal about this statement, looked at Yang Bingbing and asked, "Why?" ”

The god of stocks asked why, in fact, it was equivalent to thinking that this statement was more interesting. Yang Bingbing was encouraged by the old man's gaze and continued: "In every era of economic recession, people will shift their attention to the entertainment industry. The traditional entertainment industry has been around for so many years, and there is limited new growth. On the contrary, in terms of Internet entertainment, it is simple and convenient, and the cost of people looking for happiness will be reduced, and the usage rate will become higher. ”

This time, Buffett was a little surprised by the vision of the two girls in front of him, although this kind of thing may be said by everyone, it is quite shocking to hear it in the mouths of these two girls.

There are many young people talking about this topic, but they are certainly not as old as Yang Bingbing and Cheng Shuixin, and most of them are the kind of technocrats who have been nurtured by Silicon Valley and college campuses.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Yang Bingbing carefully, Buffett realized that this girl was likely to be the future heir of the Yang family, which made him have to re-face the Chinese group that was already being investigated by the government.

After a little silence, Buffett said to the two girls: "If you see the way forward, you should try to walk around." It doesn't matter if it's right or not, it's your own wishes that matter. ”

Cheng Shuixin's hands were flat on the table, and she was no longer as excited as when she first came to this steakhouse, but with the usual calm on her face.

"Is this your building? Or what are your thoughts on life? ”

Buffett smiled, his smile seemed to be contagious, and Cheng Shuixin preferred to believe that it was the power of wealth.

"If I say both, would you be willing to do that?"

Cheng Shuixin also smiled.

"Most people ask for advice from others after they already have the answer in their mind."

Buffett smiled and winked: "You guys are no exception? ”

The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads almost in unison.

"It's no exception."

Buffett laughed out loud this time, laughing heartily, as if his previous strict sΓΉ and slightly kind were pretending.

"Alright, girls, is there anything you'd like to talk about now?"

The assistant who had been listening next to him looked at him in surprise, and as far as he knew, Buffett had refused to let lunch bidders dominate the conversation because of a bad experience. Now the old man has returned the right to speak to the two girls, which is a scene he did not expect.

The assistant didn't move, though he wanted to speak, and he felt as if he was being stared at by two pairs of stressed eyes. You don't have to ask, it must be the gaze of the two young women on the mezzanine in the middle of the restaurant. From the moment he entered the restaurant, the assistant could see that the two young women were clearly two time bombs, and he didn't dare to move.

Yang Bingbing and Cheng Shuixin glanced at each other again this time, and then the two looked at Buffett together with a tacit understanding, and Yang Bingbing spoke first.

"Actually, we have made an interactive entertainment company, and we have done a fundraising on the KS website, and the results have been very successful."

After the auction lunch, Buffett also did some research on the bidders. At that time, a wealth management company with a deck in Canada claimed to have photographed Buffett's lunch, and the female manager, who was an executive of the company at the time, was initially scheduled to come to the banquet. Unexpectedly, after the preparation stage was really entered, the people who went to the banquet were suddenly changed, and it was finally decided that two girls from the Heavenly Dynasty would participate in this lunch. Buffett was short of time, so he didn't do a detailed investigation, but he knew that one of them should be the heir to the Yang family, the leader of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but he didn't carefully investigate what kind of surprise there was on Cheng Shuixin's side. Scenery.

In fact, this situation is inevitable, Cheng Shuixin is basically a behind-the-scenes figure when she is lightly touched, and it is not so easy to know her specific achievements.

Because of this, Yang Bingbing's narration surprised Buffett a little, and he stretched out his hand to his assistant, who immediately handed over an old IBM laptop.

The restaurant offers IFI, and Buffett searched for games that KS had successfully raised, and immediately came to a conclusion.

"You guys made that popular virtual girl game?"

Yang Bingbing nodded, the old man in front of him was absolutely sensitive to the investment field, and he guessed the answer only from the part of the Yang family's line in charge of North America and the style of play.

This kind of ability to analyze information is not practiced in a day or two, and Cheng Shuixin is a little awe-inspiring that she still has a long way to go.

can compare himself with the best investment experts in the world, this kind of thing is probably only Cheng Shuixin can do.

Warren Buffett looked at the page introduction with some surprise, the introduction of this game on Wikipedia is quite detailed, and many of the jΓΉ and content details are lightly touched by the employees themselves. The game has also been a great success in North America, and several jΓΉ have been cited as a model for the rise of smartphone gaming.

"You're really amazing." After reading the introductions, Buffett motioned for his assistant to take the computer, "Although you may feel proud, you may be complacent about this." I also have to tell you that many investment companies in the United States are willing to expand their investment in the field of mobile Internet, which has a lot to do with the success of your works. ”

Cheng Shuixin smiled lightly and said, "That's really our greatest affirmation." ”

"If you want to hear from me, I really don't have much to say." Warren Buffett looked at the two girls and said seriously, "In this field, investment is no longer important to you, and the results you have achieved are something that many people can't do in a lifetime." So if a magazine interviews me tomorrow, I will tell you that the field you are working on will have a bright future. ”

Listening to Buffett solemnly say such a paragraph, Cheng Shuixin and Yang Bingbing both had an incomparable sense of stunned.

The two of them came here to eat steak, of course, they knew Buffett's rules, and they felt that it was difficult for Buffett to express his position, but at least they had to sell a light touch in front of Buffett, or the work they were doing.

Spending more than $2 million should at least have some advertising effect, which was the original idea of the two. didn't expect Buffett to give the two of them a big surprise, he actually expressed his position directly.

This is the main reason why Warren Buffett has hardly expressed his stance on investment activity in recent years, he is a stock god, and his words are basically equivalent to stock price fluctuations. This feeling of fighting left and right will make people criticize, and he basically won't say much.

Today, I don't know why, because of a very happy conversation with two little girls, Warren Buffett, who usually doesn't make any statement, actually directly expressed his support for the new industry. The shock caused by these few words alone is estimated to have made this lunch worth the ticket.

Cheng Shuixin closed the small notebook in her hand and thanked Buffett sincerely.

"Thank you for your encouragement."

"It's not an encouragement, it's my opinion." Warren Buffett smiled and said, "I'm probably going to make some investments in this area next, and if you're interested, we can talk about it as well." ”

Yang Bingbing directly refused at the first time: "No, thank you, we have our own plans." ”

Rejecting Warren Buffett's investment head-on, this requires courage for anyone, but Yang Bingbing feels no psychological pressure.

If you really want to invest, it's really hard to say how much Yang Bingbing can shout by herself, but it will definitely not be less than the old man in front of him.

Hearing Yang Bingbing's rejection of himself, Buffett was not surprised, and said with a smile: "So are you interested in telling me about the territory you are building now?" ”

Cheng Shuixin sat down a little and nodded with a smile.

"Of course I do."
