Chapter 1282 Financial Trap
The next day.

Ye Feng, Chen Huang and Wen Yueqi came to the company together. When they arrived, Yang Qingzhi had also arrived, driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee, which was very impressive.

Several people entered the company talking and laughing.

After arriving at the company, Ye Feng discovered how popular Yang Qingzhi was on Wall Street. It was almost like having a fan club with celebrities. Investment analysts, traders, investment analysts, and even fund managers saw Yang Qingzhi as fans. The passion of an idol.

Ye Feng and Chen Huang didn't have much reputation on Wall Street, so they sat in the company they came to last time and waited for Yang Qingzhi to finish meeting his fans.

Soon, Wen Yueqi came over.

Chen Huang sighed and said: "This Yang Qingzhi is really awesome, he is so popular on Wall Street."

"That's for sure."

Wen Yueqi sat down and said with a accustomed smile: "If you reach his level in China, you will probably be more popular than him. It would be great if he comes to New York this time, so he can give us some investment tips."

"Sister Qi, it turns out you have selfish motives." Chen Huang laughed.

"Of course, after finally recruiting this great god, I must make the best use of it."

Wen Yueqi took a sip of the refreshing coffee, turned to look at Ye Feng, and said with a smile: "For this opportunity, I still want to thank Ye Feng. Tell me, do you want my sister to repay you?"

When Chen Huang heard this, he immediately looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng did not dare to answer the question randomly, and said with a smile: "There is no need to repay, we are all our own people."

"Well, that's what I think too, so I'm just saying it. If you really want to repay me, you won't."

Wen Yueqi smiled casually, then looked at the two of them and asked, "How many days do you plan to stay in New York this time?"

Ye Feng said: "I will go to San Francisco tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"So urgent?" Wen Yueqi frowned.

Ye Feng nodded: "I plan to hand over the company in San Francisco to Yang Qingzhi. Now the staff there are all found by Li Liang for me. Yang Qingzhi can go over and help me set up the company framework. Then I have some things to do when I return to China. To be dealt with.”

Wen Yueqi asked: "What do you plan to do with the later earnings of the Obsidian Fund? Is it going to be transferred directly to the account of your San Francisco company?"

"Let's see, I haven't thought about it yet. I might set up an office in New York." Ye Feng really didn't think about it. It can be said that he is a complete layman in finance, and it is completely luck that he is able to get to where he is today.

"This is best. I can help you keep an eye on it." Wen Yueqi glanced outside and saw no one came in. Finally, she said to Chen Huang: "By the way, didn't you mention CIC's investment in Blackstone yesterday? I’m telling you, CIC is going to stumble this time.”

"No way? Didn't you say that Blackstone is very good?" Chen Huang was surprised. He clearly remembered that Wen Yueqi said last night that the average profit per employee of Blackstone was nearly 300 million U.S. dollars, which was 8 times that of Goldman Sachs.

"One thing you have to understand is that Blackstone is powerful, but there is a difference between Blackstone being great and CIC making money by investing in it."

Wen Yueqi crossed her legs, looking like a strong woman, and said in a concise tone: "This time CIC bought 10% of Blackstone's non-voting shares. It was really a mistake. This is equivalent to putting money in the pockets of Americans. , Americans are free to deal with it however they want, while CIC can only watch helplessly without any say. I have also made suggestions to CIC’s overseas leaders, but to no avail."

Ye Feng now urgently needs to understand the ins and outs of the financial industry, so he asked: "Sister Qi, what do you think the person in charge of CIC thinks? Are you willing to buy stocks without voting rights?"

"Just be smart."

Wen Yueqi said coldly: "There will never be a shortage of people in this world who think they are smarter than others. In fact, you should not think that others are stupid. There are many reasons for being fooled."

Then Wen Yueqi was afraid that her words had misled Ye Feng, so she looked at Ye Feng and Chen Huang and asked: "For example, if it were you, you saw a company with an average annual profit of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars and an annual growth rate of 71%. It is also a Wall Street company." One of the most profitable investment banks is now giving you an opportunity to invest in shares, but without voting rights. Will you invest? Don't say you don't know how to invest, you will also think about investing, and even if they don't give you investment, The more you will sharpen your brains and think of ways to invest."

Speaking of this, Wen Yueqi said: "Because people's minds will be dazzled by benefits and ignore the traps. You will think that Blackstone can make money so much, what if you don't have voting rights? With these 10% shares, you can still make money, right?" "

Ye Feng thought about it for a moment, and it seemed like this. It was just like the psychology of many people buying houses in their previous lives. They bought up and not down. The more popular the real estate, the more aggressive they were in grabbing it.

Chen Huang also opened his mouth. Originally, he thought that the person in charge of this investment project at CIC was not very smart, but now it seems that it is not that simple.

Then Chen Huang looked at Wen Yueqi and said: "But Sister Qi, I don't understand something. You just said that Blackstone's average annual profit exceeds 10 billion US dollars, and the annual growth rate is 71%. So CIC holds Blackstone 10 Shares should also make money, so why did they fail?"

Ye Feng also looked at Wen Yueqi curiously. It can be said that Chen Huang's words asked him everything he wanted to ask.

"Because Americans are the first to play finance. In terms of finance, compared with Americans, we are still primary school students. Moreover, Americans have more methods, such as double standards, evil intentions, ruthless tactics, and obstruction. That’s what they will do, which is why I say that in the financial industry, the three major elements, the core of the three elements are all profits.”

Wen Yueqi answered the two of them: "It is true that CIC holds 10% of Blackstone's shares, but because CIC has no say, they cannot stop Blackstone's decision-making. During this period, Blackstone can invest in some short-term losses." , a long-term profitable investment, the loss period can be three years, five years, or even longer. Do you have time to spend with them? Are you willing to have your funds with them and be used in vain by them? So in the end, you You can only sell your stocks and get out."

What Wen Yueqi said is very realistic.

According to the original situation, if you invest, you will make money. However, after you invest, Blackstone changed its original business model and there was no profit in the short term.

What about you?
Just like when Liu Moudong got married to a certain milk tea, the annual salary was advanced in advance, and then the annual salary was one yuan a year. What should you do?One dollar of joint property between husband and wife?Even someone around Liu Moudong could think of such a method, let alone the American, the originator of finance?In finance, they can play tricks with you.
