Chapter 1276 The Core of Wall Street
New York time.

At 17 o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Feng's plane landed at the New York Airport. Wen Yueqi was already waiting at the exit with the driver. When she saw Yang Qingzhi, she stepped forward to shake Yang Qingzhi's hand with excitement.

After all, when Yang Qingzhi was the head of five major assets and two major global hedge funds in New York, Wen Yueqi had just arrived on Wall Street and was in the process of exploring the New York financial system.

By the time Wen Yueqi was able to show off her abilities, Yang Qingzhi had already shifted his focus to Europe, the Middle East and other regions. It can be said that Yang Qingzhi is a proper god-level figure in the investment industry.

Even though Wen Yueqi has a calm personality, when she saw Yang Qingzhi, she was like a fan seeing an idol. She even gave Ye Feng a quiet thumbs up, secretly praising Ye Feng for actually being able to invite this great god out of the mountain.

Because although Wen Yueqi had met Yang Qingzhi, she was not familiar with them. If they were familiar, she would not have only known Yang Qingzhi's work number but not his personal number.

After the group got to know each other and exchanged pleasantries, they started to get in the car and go to the restaurant that had been arranged for them.

The restaurant is a very popular restaurant on the edge of the East River. Across the river is the night view of Manhattan. The environment and atmosphere are very good, and there is a small table lamp on each table to enhance the atmosphere.

Wen Yueqi booked a private room seat by the window, which just happened to be able to see the scenery outside. After everyone arrived, the waiter began to serve the dishes, which had been ordered before.

This is a western restaurant.

Because Wen Yueqi knew that Yang Qingzhi was a Chinese born in the United States and mainly ate Western food most of the time, Wen Yueqi opened a bottle of red wine and poured it in order. She first paid respect to Yang Qingzhi and said with a smile: "I have always wanted to have a meal with you, senior." Come on, let’s learn some investment experience. I didn’t expect that my dream would come true today. I’d like to give you a toast.”

Yang Qingzhi drank the wine and said with a gentle smile: "Senior, please call me senior. I just debuted earlier than you and have more opportunities. Just call me Yang Qingzhi."

"Senior's words are modest. The U.S. stock market has a history of more than 200 years. There are very few people who can reach the heights of my predecessors. There are many things worth learning from me."

Wen Yueqi smiled, then looked at Ye Feng: "I didn't expect that today because of Ye Feng, I would have the opportunity to learn from my seniors."

Ye Feng was also a little proud. He looked at the two of them and said, "It's fate. When you gave me Brother Yang's number, I called him many times but couldn't get through. I didn't expect to meet him in Lucerne. At that time, I felt that it was fate. The stuff is pretty amazing.”

Wen Yueqi also heard Chen Huang talk about this incident, but she didn't know the specific story, so she asked: "Tell me how you met? Maybe when you two write a biography in the future, This story will be a good one."

Ye Feng said: "It's nothing. I just saw that there were a lot of fish in the river in Lucerne, so I thought about fishing. Then Chen Huang told me what kind of fishing certificates should I apply for when fishing in Switzerland? Then I came back and saw Brother Yang in I went fishing and asked about it, but it turned out that I could buy a one-day fishing license from a store that sells fishing gear, but I was tricked by Chen Huang.”

"You can't blame me, I'm not from Switzerland."

Chen Huang said something unhappy, and then said to Wen Yueqi: "Sister Qi, you don't know, Ye Feng almost made me laugh at that time. Do you know what he said when we met?"

"What did you say?" Wen Yueqi asked with interest.

Yang Qingzhi cut the steak slowly and smiled. He also found the situation interesting. Ye Feng was quite familiar with it.

Chen Huang imitated Ye Feng vividly: "When he saw Brother Yang, he gave him a meal, and then said Excuse?me,?Do?you?speak?Chinese?"

"Oh, Sister Qi, you don't know, I almost burst out laughing when I heard this." Chen Huang patted his legs and said happily: "This guy really thought he was a Chinese when he saw yellow skin. , I’m still thinking about what he should do if Brother Yang turns around and says to him, Bagaya Road.”

As he said that, Chen Huang suddenly turned to look at Ye Feng, whose face was a little red, and asked curiously: "By the way, what did you do when Brother Yang said "Baga Yalu" to you? Was it embarrassing?"

"Then I'll be Smecta."

Ye Feng answered, and then said unhappily: "Besides, I'm asking the right question, right, Brother Yang?"

Yang Qingzhi said amusingly: "I was also confused when I was asked, and suddenly a man squatted next to me and asked me if I knew Chinese."

Chen Huang smiled and said to Ye Feng: "You are lucky. Few Chinese people find places to fish in Switzerland at night. They are all busy carrying cameras and following the tour guides in groups to take pictures and keep them as souvenirs. , where do you have time to go fishing?”

Ye Feng thought so too.

It has been 57 years since the founding of the country. In the past few decades, the country was very poor and had no chance to travel abroad. It is only in recent years that many Chinese people have traveled abroad, and they are full of novelty.

It is true that there will not be any Chinese fishing in Lucerne. Even if there are, they are Chinese who went abroad with their ancestors a long time ago.

Wen Yueqi raised her cup and said with a smile: "No matter what, you are able to meet in Lucerne, and it is indeed fate. Fate is something that is far away and is close. It is an invisible connection between people." Connection is a certain opportunity and possibility of encounter, so for the sake of fate, let’s have a drink together to celebrate our encounter.”

Chen Huang also raised his cup and said with a snicker: "Well, I have to drink one. After all, I met Brother Yang who can speak Chinese."

Yang Qingzhi smiled easily.

Ye Feng couldn't get angry in front of Yang Qingzhi and Wen Yueqi, so he had no choice but to indulge Chen Huang, otherwise he would definitely open his mouth and pour wine into him.

The three men raised their glasses and drank.

Then the three of them chatted. Wen Yueqi told Ye Feng and Chen Huang a lot about Yang Qingzhi's glorious deeds on Wall Street, as well as some big deals, such as when he was in charge of the world's two largest hedge funds, he achieved an annualized return of 7% in 50 years. In 97, together with Soros, he led a group of speculative funds to sweep across Southeast Asia, causing the Asian financial crisis in 1997. It was also in this battle that Yang Qingzhi became famous.

Ye Feng and Chen Huang are like listening to books from heaven. Yang Qingzhi refreshes their understanding of him every time. No wonder top investment banks like Goldman Sachs are still trying to retain him after he resigned.

However, Yang Qingzhi gave a different answer to Ye Feng and Chen Huang during the joke. He took a sip of red wine and said calmly: "The reason why Goldman Sachs used methods such as increasing the dividend ratio to retain me is not entirely based on my personal ability. It’s more about retaining the clients I have.”

When Ye Feng and Chen Huang heard this, they couldn't help but discover that Goldman Sachs was not a place that cared about human feelings. It was actually Yang Qingzhi's clients. They could only sigh and said: "Sure enough, there is no human touch in the capital market."

"That's normal too."

Wen Yueqi smiled and said to Ye Feng and Chen Huang: "There are only three core points of Wall Street. The first point is profit, the second point is profit, and the third point is profit. Compassion does not control soldiers, and justice does not control wealth. You have always heard this saying Let’s face it, everything must be centered on interests. After all, the purpose of establishing investment banks and funds is to make money.”
