Chapter 965 Pleasant Meeting

"Ping," Ma Ling called softly, and didn't speak again.

"I'm attending the celebration banquet at the McDonald's headquarters. Are you okay?" Feng Yiping understood what she meant. If it was inconvenient for her to answer the phone, she would probably hang up immediately.

"We saw it, congratulations," Ma Ling's voice became louder, "I called you because John said that he had a good harvest these two times,"

It turned out to be the case.

No wonder she rarely called herself.

For Ma Ling, what she hopes to see most now is that her father can improve the relationship with Feng Yiping.

Of course, like the general father-in-law and son-in-law, she also knows that it is unrealistic, but at least she should not be a stranger, or John can be less hostile to Feng Yiping.

For Vincent, every improvement in the relationship between John and Feng Yiping is something to be celebrated.

"Although he didn't say it clearly, I could hear that he wanted to express his gratitude," Ma Ling smiled happily.

Families in the United States generally invest in stocks, and businessmen like John are naturally more so.

Following Feng Yiping's advice, Ma Ling bought most of his idle funds into Apple stocks from the first half of the year. Now it seems that the returns are very gratifying.

During a casual chat, John learned of this situation, and then he paid attention to it. It should be another careful study of Feng Yiping's well-documented business decisions. After that, last time, after the general public was not optimistic about his purchase of coins When I was a star, I tentatively bought some stocks of Coin Star.

In the end, he somewhat regretted his caution. Feng Yiping's series of operations brought the stock price of Coin Star to his purchase price which was a premium of nearly 40%.

That is to say, in a short period of time, he tested the water once, and the profit exceeded 30%!

Then he gained confidence. After Coinstar and McDonald's announced their intention to cooperate this time, he bought the stocks of both parties without hesitation. As a result, as expected, the stocks of both parties rose.

Although not as high as before, these two water tests fully demonstrated one thing, as long as Feng Yiping made a move, it would be a steady high return.

At least judging from Feng Yiping's previous and current records, every shot he makes, no matter what he does, is sure to succeed.

And even Buffett, who is known as the stock god, now has investment failures in American Airlines, Dexter Shoes, Salomon Brothers, HK Department Store, etc. Of course, his most famous failure should be the name of his current company Source, Berkshire Hathaway Cotton Mills.

Therefore, what Ma Ling didn't tell Feng Yiping in this phone call was that John not only expressed his appreciation and gratitude to "that guy" cryptically, but also cryptically asked about Ma Ling's plan.

Ma Ling automatically blocked John's thoughts, but the change in John's address, no longer calling Feng Yiping "that Chinese boy", made Ma Ling very happy.

"Hehe, it seems that I have to create more similar opportunities," Feng Yiping was also very happy.

Both himself and John are very important to Maring and Vincent. He is naturally happy to see this relationship improve.

"I'm going back to New York tomorrow to check the operation of the company over there, and to meet some people from the business and political circles. What about you, what are your plans for these two days?"

"Hehe, I want to see what Vincent means," Ma Ling chuckled.

…………

Among American politicians, in terms of wealth, he is really not Trump. The current mayor of New York, Bloomberg, is the number one.

Speaking of Michael Bloomberg, there may not be many people in China who know him, but there should be quite a few people who have heard of Bloomberg, because in terms of finance and economics, even CCTV sometimes quotes data from Bloomberg.

And Bloomberg is actually another transliteration of Bloomberg.

This is definitely a man of the hour. In 1981, he was fired by Salomon Brothers, which also failed to invest in Warren Buffett, but he received a severance package of 10 million. Using part of the money as capital, he founded Bloomberg.

This is a news terminal that provides customers with professional and comprehensive financial information and comes with simple but powerful analysis tools.

Although a terminal costs as much as 20,000 US dollars per year, the terminal he launched has quickly replaced the original system that was very complicated to operate and use. Everyone jokingly called it "only a doctor can use it"—now Feng Yiping in the United States And domestic companies have also used several sets.

Moreover, Bloomberg's sales in the field of financial data soon surpassed that of the information giant, Reuters.

When the company's business was booming, and when he was in his seventies, he probably felt that developing Bloomberg, which was a money-making company, was no longer a big challenge, so he decided to run for mayor of New York.

Coinciding with 9/11, the fiscal deficit in New York City quickly soared to a large extent beyond the red line. Such a successful and wealthy old man with a Wall Street background finally won the support of New Yorkers and was elected consecutively in record time. Three times!

What Trump clamored that if he was elected president, he would not want a salary. In front of Bloomberg, it is also worth mentioning. During his 12-year career as mayor of New York, this public not only received a symbolic salary of one dollar a year, but He also personally donated a total of $650 million to New York City throughout his three terms!

Not counting these 12 years, he did not work in his own company, and he made less money, plus the over 100 million dollars he spent on the campaign, in order to get the opportunity to serve New York citizens for 12 years, he personally invested at least nearly 800 million dollars Giant!

Compared with him, those local tyrants in the Middle East who stick gold and diamonds on their cars and keep lions and tigers as pets can turn into cannons in minutes. If you are capable, you can also be the mayor of a world metropolis for more than ten years at your own expense?

New York can be said to be the birthplace of NEXTDOOR in the eastern United States, and it is also one of the most important markets. The company has cooperated with so many departments of the New York City government. The relationship with a big boss like the mayor must naturally be maintained.

In the past, Feng Yiping was still a student, and Buchanan was responsible for all these tasks. Now that he has stood in front of the stage, it is natural for him to come to pay his respects to the pier.

Mayor Bloomberg is nicer than the billionaire Bloomberg, especially someone like Feng Yiping who has invested a lot in New York City. On the day he arrived in New York, he was invited to have lunch with Bloomberg.

…………

At the Crown restaurant on the Upper East Side of New York, Feng Yiping met Bloomberg sitting at the other end of the long table.

This is an old man with gray hair, trimmed very short, looking very capable, with a stern face, and wearing a black suit, so overall he looks a bit calm and pretentious.

At this time, during the peak meal time, he was still leaning on the arm of the chair with one hand, listening to a middle-aged man's report.

A person next to him reminded him, he looked up and saw Feng Yiping and his party, with a rare smile on his face, "Hello!" He greeted Feng Yiping in fairly standard Chinese, shaking hands first and then hugging.

Speaking of which, this is also a politician who is friendly to China and attaches great importance to the Chinese in New York. During his term of office, he held a Lunar New Year party every year. He also seriously cooperated with the Chinese TV station in New York, using Chinese Congratulations to the Chinese for a happy new year, this should be a characteristic brought about by a businessman turning his career into a politician.

Anyway, when Feng Yiping heard him say hello in Chinese, he still had a good impression of this old man.

"Nice to meet you, Mayor Bloomberg,"

"Please take a seat," Bloomberg pointed to the seat next to him. "Haha, I have long heard that there is a young genius on the other side of the ocean. I am honored to meet you today."

The core team around him were a little surprised. Their boss, Mr. Bloomberg, was rarely so kind.

"Buchanan, are you completely in love with business now, have you considered returning to Capitol Hill?"

"That's the idea," Buchanan said.

"I believe that young people like you will find their place there in the future,"

When we met for the first time, Feng Yiping felt that Bloomberg was a bit different from what was described in the information. He was a very kind old man!

"Your book, I have studied it several times, it is very good, the city police department is now using your theory, and it is very effective, you published it when you were in college? It's amazing!" Bloomberg picked up The porcelain teapot on the table poured Feng Yiping a cup of tea.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping didn't expect this person to start with this topic, "Actually, you also know that I didn't create it personally, I just proposed a concept, and then tried my best to systematize that theory Just for a moment,"

"Speaking of which, isn't the mayor's successful use of the blue ocean strategy when he founded Bloomberg?"

Before meeting him, Buchanan naturally collected a lot of information about Bloomberg for Feng Yiping's reference.

His Bloomberg, as a latecomer, was able to find a successful path in the press dominated by giants at the time, which was a successful application of the blue ocean strategy.

Feng Yiping regretted it a bit. If he knew that there would be today before the book was published, he would definitely include this example in it.

"Hehe," Bloomberg laughed again. In fact, being flattered is something that everyone enjoys. The key is to see who shoots and how to shoot.

"It was also because of the limited conditions at the time, and I was forced," he said. "As you said, I am also a lucky one. I saw an opportunity, then I did it, and then I made it."

It seems that he also has some information about himself, otherwise he would not know this statement.

In short, the meeting with Bloomberg, at the beginning, was relatively pleasant.

ps: A group has been established, 454, 231, 228, everyone is welcome to come and give more valuable opinions. I look forward to having the opportunity to communicate with you!
