Chapter 1436 Essence
What is value?
The price someone is willing to accept for the product you plan to sell is called value.
In the eyes of the American people, it doesn't really matter how much the things you use, William White, are worth. To put it simply, if you don’t have any kind of glass, if you hang a string of glass beads, I’m afraid someone will treat it as a treasure. To put it bluntly, this is just the superposition of personal halo.
Dinner with Buffett can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
And what about William White?
Of course, millions are used as the unit of measurement.
Obviously, the Bricks of Big Rabbit Country have different views. They showed great interest in William White's bracelets. No one cares what these guys think. At least, the American people won’t particularly care.
However, what is similar is that the valuation they gave far exceeds the consciousness of the American imperialists. It's hard to say what the specific situation is, but they have a clearer understanding of the price of jade.
European and American jewelry design concepts are two different systems from those of Big Rabbit Country. Europe and the United States value design and senses, but in Rabbit Country, you first understand the value of the material itself.
What? 18K, are you kidding? This thing is fake, right?
In the eyes of European and American designers, this is somewhat unreasonable. Pure gold is not hard enough, so if you need to set it with gems, it is naturally impossible to use it. Of course, if you leave it to the masters from Big Rabbit Country, it means that Gui Lao’s skills are not good enough.
"What, are you going to take a look?" Charlie Munger was a little surprised when he saw the invitation letter in Buffett's hand. Jewelry is totally out of the question. Even though my boss has two wives, he doesn’t seem to have any decent jewelry.
Of course, these are just his slanders. He didn't think William White could be so superficial.
"Haha, don't tell me, Charlie. I asked someone to check some information. This matter is not as simple as it seems. It can be said that judging from William White's layout in this matter, there should be significant interests. of."
"Oh, how can you see it? As far as I know, this matter seems a bit abrupt. I have also read relevant information. According to the information in the information, the origin of jade is mainly Myanmar, but our relationship with Myanmar is."
Charlie Munger stopped talking. Although there was no direct enmity, it is true that the two sides dislike each other due to ideological reasons. William White naturally knew it, otherwise, he would not have been able to make such a big circle. It can be seen from the organizer's introduction that not mentioning the United States can explain something.
Of course, that's not what they care about. For capital, there is really no concept of a country.
"Since you don't understand, let's go take a look. Lanai may not have any special features, but their golf course is the best.
Also, there are a lot of people invited this time, what kind of charity auction is it? "
Charlie Munger nodded and said nothing more. Yes, William White may have many shortcomings, but there is really nothing to say about his support and persistence for public welfare.
Or there is a need for tax cuts, but no matter which angle you look at it, he has done his best.
You see, animal rights activists don't bother this guy anymore.
It's not that they don't want to be in the limelight, it's just that the response was too bad. In the eyes of the public, you are just talking nonsense and looking for trouble. As for William White, he has more than one special fund to save endangered animals.
They say that if there is no comparison, there will be no harm. If you still insist on insisting on it, you may really be in trouble.
It doesn't matter if you are taken to court. As long as it can increase your exposure, some losses are completely acceptable. But it would be very inappropriate if it caused public dissatisfaction. Without a popular base, no public welfare project of yours will be successful.
Buffett naturally doesn't know that the reason why the 13-digit price is higher is of course for a purpose. Lanai Island was very popular for a while. Under the circumstances, more than one Japanese chaebol planned to take it for themselves.
Unfortunately, William White was too rich to be indifferent to the already outrageous offer.
However, with the Japanese attack, the number of visitors to Lanai Island has dropped, which means that William White does not care about the income from this area, otherwise, he may have vomited blood long ago.
What is the new millennium?
Opportunity, and where is this opportunity?
There is no doubt that the opportunity lies in rabbit country.
The guest invitations for this auction are actually very particular. In the United States, investment banks are the main ones, but in the Big Rabbit Country, various enterprises are naturally given priority.
If you don't look at the header of the invitation letter, you won't know what it is. The more harsh ones might say, hey, this is helping Big Rabbit Country to attract investment, but the current situation is that American companies are also in urgent need of funds.
Of course, people who think this way usually don’t have much money. So, it doesn’t matter what they think, it won’t affect anything at all.
Not to mention that normal trade with Big Rabbit Country has now resumed, even if the fight is still ongoing, it will not affect the judgment of the investment bank.
What is the nature of capital?
Chasing profits, making money, making more money.
"Um, boss, if you do this, the charity auction may become a silent event."
Jason Gao complained a little, boss, don't always think about killing two birds with one stone. Everyone's cultural atmosphere is different, and your kind of forced grafting will definitely not have any good results.
"Tch, what are you thinking about? I admit the situation you mentioned, but haven't you noticed that many people have stayed in the United States.
By the way, there's that little pony. Although this guy didn't study in the United States, is there any communication barrier between you and him?
Besides, this kind of cultural collision is what I need. "
Jason Gao finally had nothing to say. The boss was determined to make big news, so other things would have to be put aside. As William White's representative in Rabbit Country, he certainly has his own demands.
Both Penguin and Moubao are seeking to raise funds again, and they are naturally looking forward to this opportunity. However, if you give them more choices, the negotiations here will be more difficult.
Therefore, location determines vision. In many cases, it has nothing to do with ability. In William White's view, Penguin and a certain treasure are now qualified to negotiate. Instead of being secretive, you should be more generous.
Besides, what do you think these investment banks are?
Although I am optimistic about the companies in the Rabbit Country, at this time, if I can't give them a severe blow, how can I make them feel miserable?
Or after they frequently hit the wall, William White's sincerity was revealed.
It’s true that capitalists engage in charity, but it’s not wrong to describe this as crocodile tears. Obtaining greater benefits at the smallest cost is the most primitive form of investment banking. Therefore, Jason Gao's judgment is a bit unfounded. William White would not believe that under the current circumstances, investment banks would not set a bunch of unequal terms.
