Chapter 1212 The New Car of the Stock God
"what news?"
The old stock god also wondered why Yang Cheng, who had seldom cared about predatory funds before, suddenly came up with so many terrible thoughts, and went directly to the office to question them face to face, which seemed too abrupt.
Yang Cheng vaguely relayed the news he got from Liu Yiming to the old stock god.
Sure enough, the old stock god also seemed very confused. It stands to reason that the predatory fund is in a top-secret state, and all operations in Venezuela are also hidden under the water. It stands to reason that no one should be aware of it.
Of course, the old stock god never denies that there are smart people in this world. The eyes of smart people can always find bright spots that ordinary people can't see. Maybe someone really found something from some clues in Venezuela.
"I will pay attention to this situation, thank you for reminding Jason." Buffett said solemnly.
Yang Cheng spread his hands, "It's nothing, after all, I'm also a shareholder of the predatory fund, right? I don't want $1 billion to go to waste."
After talking about the business, Yang Cheng was about to leave. He didn't plan to stay overnight in Obaha.
Unexpectedly, Buffett suddenly asked to stay, "Let's go after lunch~"
Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still agreed. If someone wanted to have dinner with the stock god, he would have to spend millions of dollars at auction, but he was qualified to accept the invitation of the stock god himself, so he was saving money.
Buffett let Yang Cheng visit freely, and he still had some work to do, and then went to the restaurant together, Yang Cheng had nothing to do.
So the old stock god looked at a company's financial report in front of Yang Cheng, and Yang Cheng looked around boringly.
Many people like to hang their graduation certificates in the office, and Buffett also hangs one, not a college diploma, nor his postgraduate diploma at Columbia University, but a Dale Carnegie training course he attended in 1952 diploma of
Yang Cheng was very curious, so he asked a casual question, and the old stock god replied without looking up, "Everything in this office represents some very important moments in my life.
It was my certificate from a Dale Carnegie training course when I was 21, and I was so terrified of public speaking, I stood in front of a group of people, I was too scared to say my name, and finally, I made up my mind and spent 100 $, take this training course.
Since then, not only have I been able to speak publicly in front of a large group of people, but I have also been able to speak in front of a large group without stopping.
I must say that during the Carnegie training course, I proposed to my wife. Hey, it seems that my 100 yuan training fee was well spent. "
Hearing his involuntary laughter, Yang Cheng really wanted to complain, but what about your lover? As we all know, the old stock god has more than one woman beside him.
"I recommend that you also take this course, it is very useful, although it does not prevent me from shaking my knees in front of the public, it allows me to continue speaking when my knees shake in front of the public .”
Yang Cheng was speechless, "Thank you for your suggestion, but I don't have a phobia of speaking. In my opinion, when the lights on the stage are turned on and the audience is pitch black, you can't see anything. There is nothing to be nervous about."
"Well, pretend I didn't say it~" The old stock god made fun of himself, muttered like a child losing his temper, and continued to read the financial report.
Afterwards, Yang Cheng shifted his gaze to the back of Buffett's desk. In fact, he saw it when he first entered the door. There was a big photo of his father hanging very prominently.
Buffett's sense is very keen, he still didn't look up, and pointed backward casually, "This is a photo of my father when he participated in the election. He was only 39 years old at the time, and he was elected as a member of Congress. This photo comes from his election campaign. poster, and he went on to serve several terms in Congress."
Yang Cheng heard about it, "He is your idol~"
Buffett nodded, "Indeed, my father is definitely my hero.
I have never seen my father do anything in his life that makes people feel that it is not good to be published on the front page of the newspaper. He is a person who is open and frank in every way. He gave me unconditional Love, he supports me in everything I do and he is absolutely a phenomenal person.
What I am using now is the writing desk he used to use, which has a history of 75 years or more. My eldest sister Doris found this small train model, which had been placed on his writing desk before, and then she put this small train. It was given to me, and I put it on this desk. "
Yang Cheng saw the small train model, and it had already been 'patinated', which shows how much the old stock god loves it, and often plays with it in his hand.
After finally finishing his work, Buffett took Yang Cheng to the parking lot and personally invited him to sit in a brand new Cadillac XTS. Afterwards, he sat in the driver's seat and said with a smug smile, "This is the car I just bought last year. car~”
Yang Cheng rubbed his forehead, "For someone like you who can't drive thousands of miles a year, this car is enough."
Buffett seems to have met a bosom friend, "Ha~ Yes, that's what I think."
The car started, and the old stock god's skills were good, at least there was no sense of shock, and the start was very stable, "In fact, Susie suggested that I buy this car. He thinks that with my current status, it is very easy to drive an old car." Shame."
Susie is his daughter~
Yang Cheng deliberately said irony, "No, I think in your position, any car you drive will be interpreted as beautiful. Even if you drive a broken pickup truck from the 1980s, it will be said to be thrifty."
Buffett heard it, but he didn't refute, "Someone asked me why I made so much money but didn't spend it. My answer was that although I like money, I prefer the fun of making money, the kind of constantly beating the market, using The process of earning more money from existing money is very interesting.
Driving this ordinary car every day, I have the same excitement as going to the Metropolitan Museum to visit artworks. "
Yang Cheng always feels that Buffett is vaguely reminding him today, from his life, to his investment philosophy, to his attitude towards money.
Before he could figure out why, he went to the restaurant Buffett often went to. There was no way, Obaha was so big that it would take less than a day to ride a bicycle around it.
The people in the restaurant were not at all surprised by the arrival of the stock god, let alone express their excitement. Everything was as usual, no different from entertaining other guests. If I had to pick a bone, it might be the smile of the restaurant owner when he saw Buffett , more Sheng than other guests.
"Good day, Warren, is it the same?"
