Recast youth

Chapter 1254
But Ye Feng didn't panic.

In any case, he has the experience of two lives. After listening to Yang Qingzhi's question, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Can I understand that you are curious about me?"

Ye Feng raised his head and looked at Yang Qingzhi with a smile.

"Well, so to speak."

Yang Qingzhi did not deny it and nodded. There is nothing surprising about Ye Feng's domestic company at this stage. However, Ye Feng was able to use all the company's reserve funds and even loans to invest in shares before it was listed for financing. The company fcaebook in California made him quite curious about Ye Feng.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Since you are curious, you can join me and get to know me slowly."

"Your technique is of no use to me. I'm past the psychological stage of curiosity."

Yang Qingzhi smiled peacefully and said: "Besides, I am from an investment bank background. It would be a burden for you to invite me back to manage the company. My strength lies in investment, but if you let me help you invest, the little funds in your hand will It’s not enough for me to squander, this is a deadlock, do you understand?”

What Yang Qingzhi said was a bit direct.

The unspoken intention was to make Ye Feng quit and give up the plan of inviting him to join. Moreover, he had enough money to travel around the world for the rest of his life, so Yang Qingzhi had no intention of leaving the mountain again.

But Yang Qingzhi miscalculated one thing.

That is, Ye Feng is afraid of everything, but the only thing he is not afraid of is the problem of funds, so he said to Yang Qingzhi: "Money is not a problem. As long as you help me, I think I can have enough funds to support you all over the world." Invest within the scope.”

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Yang Qingzhi glanced sideways at Ye Feng, as if he wanted to see something in Ye Feng's eyes, but he actually saw confidence in Ye Feng's eyes. Why was he so confident?
Do you have enough money to invest globally?
Even if the top ten private equity funds on Wall Street say this to me, they have to consider it carefully.

Ye Feng knew that Yang Qingzhi felt that he was bragging. Many times things are like this. When you fail to achieve a goal, if you speak out, in the eyes of others, you are bragging.

In his previous life, he was as strong as Jack Ma, but at this stage, he is often questioned and considered to be a liar.

But being considered a liar and bragging is not important. What is important is that he knows what he is talking about and knows where his confidence comes from. Under the stimulation of Yang Qingzhi, Ye Feng also breeds some arrogance from the bottom of his heart out of thin air. , raised his eyes slightly and said: "I know what I'm talking about. The key is that you haven't tried to understand my trump cards. Are you so sure of what you said?"

"Well."

Yang Qingzhi asked: "In addition to the company you want to list, MapleInc, which holds 40% of the shares of fcaebook, what other trump cards do you have? Tell me and let me listen. If you can surprise me, it's not like I have no basic salary to help you. what is the problem."

Ye Feng looked at Yang Qingzhi and said, "I also have an Obsidian private equity fund in New York."

"Where is the total capital?" Yang Qingzhi asked casually.

"$4 million."

Ye Feng said calmly.Yang Qingzhi smiled.

But at this moment, Ye Feng said again: "But this is the number half a year ago. The total capital has reached 5.5 million US dollars, and within a year, this number will increase five times."

Yang Qingzhi was finally surprised.

US$4 million has more than quintupled in one and a half years. This return on investment can be said to be terrifying.

Then Yang Qingzhi looked at Ye Feng and asked, "Are you so confident?"

"The cost of US$5 million in half a year and the fact that the income is US$1.5 million are already before our eyes. Why am I not confident?"

Ye Feng asked rhetorically.

It is easy to invite false gods, but it is difficult to invite the true God.

In addition, although Yang Qingzhi is a Chinese-American, he is a Chinese after all. If he is really a foreigner, Ye Feng will not be very relieved. So combined with the above points, Ye Feng is also willing to expose a little of his trump card in order to invite the great god Yang Qingzhi. .

Yang Qingzhi was silent for a moment.

He is doing some calculations, and the income from 5 million US dollars is 1.5 million US dollars, which has tripled, and the return rate is 300%. If what Ye Feng said is true, then he is indeed a very capable person. people.

The only private equity funds with such high yields are hedge funds. They increase short selling targets, amplify funds through leverage, and use technological means to carry out arbitrage, arbitrage, hedging and other operations to achieve profit goals. .

Then Yang Qingzhi understood how Ye Feng made the money. He looked at Ye Feng and asked, "You made money by shorting U.S. real estate subprime credit products, right?"

"you know?"

Ye Feng glanced at Yang Qingzhi unexpectedly. Through these words, Ye Feng could confirm Yang Qingzhi's strength.

Yang Qingzhi said with a smile: "The only way to achieve such a big return in the short term is through short selling. Although I have been in Europe for a long time now, I still know the situation in the United States. I can see more than just the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States. I am the only one, and many Wall Street analysts have noticed it, but they cannot admit it and have to hide all this from investors, and then get high commission returns. This is also the reason why I resigned from Goldman Sachs. Now Wall Street and Investment banks have gone bad. They put their interests first, turn their clients into fools, and put maximizing profits from their clients first. To be honest, the current environment in investment banks is the most poisonous and destructive I have ever seen."

Ye Feng asked: "The essence of a company is to make money, isn't that bad?"

"The essence of a company is to make money, that's right."

Yang Qingzhi nodded and continued: "To put it simply, Goldman Sachs' current operating model and money-making philosophy put the interests of customers in a secondary position, but Goldman Sachs is one of the largest and most influential investment banks in the world. The correlation of global finance is too high to allow this. Since I graduated from college and joined Goldman Sachs, this investment bank has undergone changes, and now I cannot say with a clear conscience that I agree with this investment bank’s position.”

It was also the first time for Ye Feng to hear these theories. For him, although investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan should have been relatively far away, rebirth gave him the opportunity to get closer to this height.

Ye Feng is also willing to learn more about Goldman Sachs' corporate culture. After all, he has a long way to go now, such as building the world's number one private equity fund. When he heard Yang Qingzhi's talk, he was not in a hurry to win over Yang Qingzhi first. Instead, he handed him a cigarette and asked, "What was the original Goldman Sachs like?"
