American Fortune Life

Snapped!

From the moment the swing started until the ball flew off the tee, Andy's eyes naturally stared at the top of the tee. The only way to know if the ball is hit is to see if it is still there before you can see the result.

A beautiful parabola is drawn, but the direction from the hole is a bit off, well, it is off.

"You should practice your game more ..."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Warren Buffett's words fell, he hit the golf ball with a swing.

Andy wears sunglasses and can't see the change in his eyes, but Buffett still sees from his gesture of holding the club to shrug that the young man doesn't care if he is superb.

"I enjoy the ease of playing golf. This is exactly what I think is the charm of this sport. Good and bad **** don't make sense to me, but just swinging the club!"

The corner of Andy's mouth with a faint smile, seemingly inadvertently and intentionally. In the words, give the cue to the caddy while walking with Buffett towards the golf cart not far away. Go and take off the white leather gloves on the left hand and say.

Buffett's eyes brightened, and he looked at the young man with a slight smile and calmness on Andy's face. Why many successful entrepreneurs like to play golf, because compared with other sports, golf not only contains a profound workplace philosophy, but also exudes a strong business meaning.

"Why are there so many successful people who like to play golf? Because it is a sport that can best control yu, playing golf is like driving a thing. For the managers of an enterprise, this is the same. But for me golf is just a leisure sport. Seriously, if someone else invites me to play, I will definitely refuse. You see it too. My golf skills are too bad. "

Andy sat on the golf cart with a sunny smile, his white teeth were exposed, and he could not see the embarrassment of the poor ball skills.

Warren Buffett shook his head with a smile. "Your mentality is very suitable for this sport. 20% of golf is mechanics and skills, and the other 80% is philosophy, humor, romance, friendship, curses, melodrama and conversation. I don't like it. Playing with utilitarian, overly motivated people loses fun. "

"Oh, that's hard to find. How many people think of golf as a sport that can never go backwards, is a sport that can't regret it.

To keep playing 18 holes, whether it is below par or more than 100, you cannot regret it. Just like life, once it is opened, no matter it is good or bad, obedience and rebellion, pain and sorrow, it can only move forward. Alas, it's really cruel ... "

Buffett listened to Andy's explanation, his face became very shocked, and his eyes were full of glory. "I like you more and more. Andy, I am really surprised. It really is a genius writer. "

"Oh, thank you. I'm very happy with your compliment, but Mr. Buffett, I can hardly believe that you asked me to simply play ..."

Andy jumped out of the car and reached out to help an elderly Buffett.

"Thank you." Buffett got off the car more easily with Andy's help, and the two caddies followed the golf club bag unhurriedly.

When stopped in front of a low-lying puddle, Andy patiently waited for Buffett, who was holding his cue to look at the target flagpole, to take the lead in saying the purpose of playing today.

"In fact, there is nothing important. I mainly want to talk to you, such as the housing market, subprime mortgages, the stock market ..." Buffett said casually, and reached out to Andy to fight first.

Andy indifferently stands in front of the ball, his feet are apart, and his posture is extremely standard. In his opinion, the poor ball skills are okay, but the posture must be beautiful.

"Snapped!"

Watching the golf ball scoring a parabola and flying far to the ground, Andy closed the shot and kicked, "Hehe, this shot is good, but you can talk to me about the economy, I'm afraid I'm looking for the wrong person. The gambling of the real estate bubble is because of the large amount of data analysis and field investigations done by my subordinates, and there is no secret at all. I understand the truth that once the supply is cut, the fall in house prices will lead to a lot of foolish errors exposure……"

The conversation between Andy and Buffett is very bland and equal. Buffett did not put his own stock of gods and big men on the shelf. Of course, Andy naturally will not reveal himself to look into the future and deal with old foxes like Buffett. When he talked, But I will go through my mind first, and Andy also knows that the purpose of this old man is not so simple.

"You re-bet gold and set up two private equity funds, but people on Wall Street are surprised."

"Isn't it a loan from a bank, it should always be replaced by valuable collateral. The fund is the responsibility of my investment company eo Bardstone. Since it is an investment company, it cannot always be carried out with my own money. Invest, just didn't expect that the public offering was sold out within a few days, and it was really crazy. "Andy with a happy smile on his face, he was really happy, Nima, knew this already, the total amount of funds Just set a little more.

"Oh, now you are the new wealth myth of Wall Street." Buffett raised his eyebrows unconsciously. There was nothing he could do about the sly little fox in front of him. He couldn't ask anything useful. He researched Almost all investments made by Andy Smith this year have been operated as a fool-type investment without consequences.

Whether it's buying Apple stock, doing oil futures, or plunging into the mbs subprime bond market, it's a stud way to gamble. This crazy behavior can be successful every time. It's not a simple fool investment. It is a determined confidence.

Buffett also knows that many Wall Street peers now staring at Andy, such as Goldman Sachs.

"Andy, are you interested in talking to Goldman Sachs?"

Andy's swing motion stopped in midair, turning back to look at Buffett, pouting and smiling, "No interest!"

"Snapped!"

Swing to hit the ball, Andy continued to say to Buffett, "I talked to Danny because I was afraid they would go bankrupt. After all, the funds for gambling are too huge, but Goldman Sachs, haha, I don't believe they will The loss of capital less than 500 million US dollars can not be sustained, and there is no bankruptcy problem. I just need to wait patiently. After all, they have never been soft when they deducted the deposit from our company account every month. No points will be deducted! "

Warren Buffett stopped the topic, and Andy made it clear that the two parties had previously conducted transactions strictly in accordance with the contract, and this was also a benefit of hundreds of millions of dollars. He did not think that this young man would give him this face, The friendship between them is just ordinary friendship.

For more than four hours of exercise, Buffett, the old man, did not show the slightest tiredness, and still exchanged various views on investment with Andy. If it is someone else, he can get the direction of the stock god, it will definitely be happy and crazy. It's rolling all over.

But for Andy, it is really the same as chicken ribs, but some ideas still benefit a lot.

When the two came out of the stadium, the paparazzi's tails that had not been thrown off came out of nowhere, holding the camera excitedly to shoot Andy and the gods talking, separate pictures.

This is the big name of Warren Buffett, Wall Street, and the financial industry in the United States. It's usually too much to interpret a fart, let alone play a game of golf with Andy for three or four hours.

"Thank you, Mr. Buffett ..."

The middle-aged man who hung up the phone with a disappointed expression on his face, shook his head at the person sitting opposite, "He refused, it seems that this $ 489 million is inevitable."

"Hey, there wasn't much hope at all. Warren Buffett just made a good deal. Deutsche Bank is even worse. The loss of 1 billion US dollars can't be escaped."

"You said, why did Wall Street suddenly pop out of such a freak, but Damo has escaped a disaster, and I heard that they are also crazy short, damn, even our company is on the top of the short list. . "

"Oh, now the big Wall Street investment banks have become very crazy. It is no news to short each other. After all, everyone understands that everyone has those toxic bond portfolios. It is impossible to shake the pot, which is Lehman's arrogance. The arrogant idiot will pick up ... "

In the newspaper the next day, a group of idiot reporters started to make various nonsense storytelling, and read the meeting between Andy and Buffett wisely.

"Boring!" Andy sneered through the contents and immediately lost interest, but when he came to Liberty City Investment Company, he received two messages that made him cried and laughed.

The first was that Warren Buffett's Berkshire-Hathaway company also entered the gold futures market, causing dramatic fluctuations in the gold market. Although the price of gold began to rise all the way, making Andy profit, but it still felt a bit depressed.

The second is Bear Stearns' eo, saying they have injected $ 3.2 billion into two ceased redemption funds so customers don't have to panic. Andy knows that this is nothing more than quenching thirst, but at the same time delaying the outbreak of the subprime crisis.

Andy doesn't want to continue to worry about the subprime mortgage crisis, but things are not as simple as he thinks. He is now in the game. Even if he doesn't want to attract attention, every move of his company will be noticed by Wall Street people. And the company, which has been reported by some financial newspapers, is very annoying, like a fly, everything around it has become related to money.

Even on his blog and Facebook, there are various investment issues, and the brain residual powder can't hold the temptation of a beautiful knife, brushing over the message "Does gold really rise?"

Classmates, teachers, little plums in Hollywood, the prince of elves, Matt Damon, and the brothers all called.

When the wealth myth is established, troubles will follow, sometimes involuntarily.
