Chapter 107: Dinner with Warren Buffett

Duan Zetao magically predicted that Jobs had a problem with the pancreas, and the news quickly spread in the circle of American high society, and everyone came to ask Duan Zetao to use his magical ancient Chinese qi observation technique to help him see a doctor, which made Duan Zetao really cry and laugh, at first he insisted that he didn't know what qi viewing technique, but people didn't believe it, but blamed him for being too stingy, and then he thought of a way, saying that this ancient Chinese qi viewing technique was very costly, and it could only be performed once a year, this time everyone believed it, and they made an appointment with him to see him next year. Find me in China next year! Duan Zetao laughed secretly.

Robert became more and more curious about Duan Zetao, "Brother Zetao, you really surprise me, how many magical skills do you still have to hide?" When will you teach me two hands?! ”。

Mike originally went to China without permission, and inexplicably brought a Chinese teacher back, and a while ago he took Duan Zetao around to swagger, which made his father very angry and grounded him at home, but when his father learned that Duan Zetao was now friendly with Robert of the Rothschild family, and was appreciated by Jobs, the "father of Apple", he immediately released Mike and asked him to have a good relationship with Duan Zetao. Frequent parties together.

Mike immediately interjected: "Robert, you don't know, my master's greatest ability is to chase beautiful women, you haven't seen my masters, it's really the best ...... in the world."

"Miss Ouyang Fang, I've seen it, it's really beautiful! ......", Robert laughed.

"Not only that, there are two masters and wives in China, both of whom are very beautiful ......", Mike is really a big mouth, Duan Zetao hurriedly forked a steak to block his mouth.

Seeing that Robert was very interested in asking what was going on, Duan Zetao hurriedly coughed twice and diverted the topic: "Robit, now that all my funds have been exchanged for Apple shares, I want to use Apple's equity as collateral to borrow money from the bank to make some short-term investments, do you have a way?" ”。

Robert pondered for a moment and said: "There is no problem with the bank, I can introduce you to the presidents of several big banks, I believe they will be happy to lend you a loan based on your situation, but in terms of investment, my family's business is all in the financial industry, and the amount of funds required is also very large, it is not suitable for you to invest for the time being, if you need a fast return on investment now, I suggest you find someone, but this person is very personal, even I don't give him much face, you want to see him, prepare $1 million to have dinner with him first!" ”。

"Isn't it, who is such a big name, and it costs so much money to have dinner with him for $1 million?" , Duan Zetao asked in surprise.

Robert didn't answer right away, but took a magazine in his hand, pointed to the person on the cover and said, "That's him!" ”。

Duan Zetao took the magazine handed over by Robert, and saw that the headline on the cover of the magazine prominently read, "Buffett eats with charity, who will have dinner with the stock god this year".

It turned out to be him! No wonder a dinner costs $1 million!

Warren Buffett is the greatest investor of all time, known as the "prophet of Omaha", with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars, and in his previous life, he once surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world, and the value investment theory he advocated swept the world.

People are looking forward to having a conversation with him in the spirit of pilgrimage, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money on it.

In his previous life, Zhao Danyang, known as the "godfather of China's private equity" in 2008, successfully auctioned the opportunity to have lunch with Buffett for $2.11 million, becoming the first Chinese to have lunch with Buffett, but now it seems that this honor is going to be seized by Duan Zetao.

In the past, whoever wanted to persuade Duan Zetao to take $1 million to have a meal with someone would definitely scold him for having something wrong with his head, but now Duan Zetao feels that it is a very cost-effective deal to use $1 million to meet the "God of Stocks" Buffett.

Soon Buffett's charity dinner was open for bidding on eBay, and after several rounds of bidding, the price quickly rose to $300,000, and in addition to Duan Zetao, there were two mysterious bidders competing for it.

When one of them offered a price of $500,000, Duan Zetao directly increased the price to $1 million to show the momentum of vowing to win, the two mysterious bidders were obviously frightened and chose to give up, Duan Zetao successfully got the opportunity to have dinner with Buffett.

The charity dinner was auctioned for a record high price of $1 million, Buffett was of course very happy, and when he investigated and learned about the identity and background of the Chinese who was about to have dinner with him, he was even more curious, a small official of the Chinese government, a major shareholder of Apple, a friend of the heirs of the Rothschild family and the Rockefeller family, these completely incompatible identities were concentrated on a young man, and he was faintly looking forward to this meeting.

Dinner was arranged at the Smith Warrensky Steakhouse in Manhattan, Duan Zetao arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time, and Buffett, who has always had a strong sense of time, had a better impression of him, showed his signature smile, and gave Duan Zetao a warm hug.

Duan Zetao looked at this silver-haired, amiable old man, and his heart was full of deep respect and excitement.

"You are the first Chinese to have dinner alone with me, China is a very mysterious and beautiful country, I like China, I hope to have the opportunity to go there to see, I believe our meeting will be very pleasant." , Warren Buffett said.

"Welcome Mr. Buffett to China, you will not be disappointed, there is not only beautiful scenery, long-standing culture, but also a hot land for investment, I will be your guide at that time." , Duan Zetao said excitedly.

After a while, the two sat down at the table.

"Duan, I heard that your real identity is an official of the Chinese government, is it true?" , Buffett asked curiously.

"Hehe, Mr. Buffett is really well-informed, so I hope that our meeting will not be announced to the media, nor do I want my photo to appear in the media, the reason why I am willing to spend $1 million to have dinner with you is not to make myself famous, but to admire your love, I want to do something with you for charity, and I also want to ask you about investment and financial management." , Duan Zetao said with a smile.

Duan Zetao's humble attitude and good conversation quickly won Buffett's favor. The two talked a lot, about doing charity, about golf, about bridge, about girlfriends, everything. The scope of the conversation is wide.

"I heard that you play golf is very profitable, in fact, investment is like playing golf, it is about accurate vision and control, and don't be afraid to make mistakes, if every one is good, it will not be fun. Golf is all about the whole score, not looking at one part. Most people ask you why you played so well in this round, but golf actually uses the whole course to calculate your score. As with investing, the most important thing is to make fewer mistakes, not to say that a project is doing well. I think it's also a good note for me to invest in the fact that sometimes people are too focused on the success or failure of a project, too nervous, and tend to lose sight of the whole thing. Warren Buffett began to offer his insights on investing.

Duan Zetao listened to the empowerment and humbly asked for advice, and the questions he asked scratched Buffett's itch, which made him even more impressed by this young man.

"Say, young man, what do you need my help with?" , Buffett, who is already old and sophisticated, saw Duan Zetao's true purpose at a glance, and Buffett, who had completely agreed with this young man, simply took the initiative to ask straight to the point.
