The rise of heroes begins with Hong Kong movies

The other side.

After Buffett hung up the phone, he immediately called Sal from Berkshire Resources Department and ordered:"Sal, you immediately launch an investigation into Huo Wenyao and Fu Ying Fund."

"I want to know all their investment actions in as much detail as possible. Sal nodded and said,"Yes, Mr. Buffett.""

Turn around and leave.

After doing this, Buffett began to use his connections. After just one phone call, he got Huo Wenyao's private number. He looked at the series of numbers and thought for half a minute.

This call was not made after all.

Buffett put the business card with the number on it into his drawer, and kept it there for more than three months, as if he had completely forgotten about it and continued his work.

In these three months, Huo Wenyao After all investment work is completed, the remaining funds will be divided into two.

One part will remain in Fuying Fund and will be operated by Jiang Yi.

The other part will be injected into Taotie Venture Capital. Since it is an international venture capital company, it is naturally not a trick. To sell dog meat, you need to look for startups around the world that are worth investing in.

At this time, Buffett has also obtained Huo Wenyao's investment targets for this period. When he sees each investment, he sees the dozen or so companies that Huo Wenyao has heavily invested in. listed company.

Buffett smiled!

He already knew what Huo Wenyao was going to do. It was not speculation to make quick money, but value investing like his own, but with his usual investment style.

Stud!

His previous judgment That's right. Even in value investing, Huo Wenyao has a very strong personality, that is, he either doesn't play or plays to the maximum extent.

Look at what he has done. After the stock market crash, he only invested a lot of money. Two or three companies, including Coca-Cola.

Buffett does not invest casually, but has continued to track and investigate for more than ten years.

But Huo Wenyao... damn!

There are more than a dozen companies at first, and the money spent on Berkshire alone is There are nearly 3.2 billion U.S. dollars, which is simply exaggerated. Even Buffett had to sigh, he is really rich and willful. He can do whatever he wants to do.

That is to say, after confirming this, Buffett put the money in the drawer for as long as He took out his business card that had lasted for more than three months and dialed Huo Wenyao's personal number.

……

……

So, on October 8, 1988, Huo Wenyao and Buffett finally met.

The two had lunch together at Smith-Wollensky Steakhouse.

This steak restaurant, translated as——"Smith and Walensky."

The origin of the restaurant's name is very interesting. It is not the name of the founder, but the founder randomly selected two names from the phone book and combined them together. It is about the same as opening the Xinhua Dictionary and randomly selecting two names. The word became the name of his restaurant.

This is a chain restaurant. The first restaurant opened in 1977, located at the junction of 49th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan.

Wall Street’s financial giants and white-collar workers in the fashion industry like to visit here most. Lunch is also extremely expensive, so it is also known as the"House of Power" on Wall Street.

In later generations, this restaurant will become more famous because the world-famous Buffett lunch is held here every year.

The two agreed The lunch time is 11 o'clock in the morning. As for how long it will last, there is no rule.

When the chat is finished, it will end.

It is worth mentioning that, unlike the Buffett lunch that later became a global sensation, this meeting is confidential.

Neither Huo Wenyao nor Buffett disclosed anything to the outside world.

If the media learns that the two investment giants Huo Wenyao and Buffett are going to meet and communicate, it will definitely cause huge waves and become a hot spot on Wall Street.

And this This kind of thing happened once some time ago.

That was Huo Wenyao having lunch with Soros, Dalio, Peter Lynch, and Paul Tudor Jones.

That morning, at 11 o'clock,

Huo Wenyao arrived at Smith on time. With Walensky and all the employees in the restaurant, the general manager personally came forward and stood at the door, waiting with a solemn look.

Seeing Huo Wenyao's arrival, the restaurant manager immediately stepped forward, bowed his head slightly, saluted, and said respectfully:"Mr. Huo, you are welcome OK, my name is McCarron, general manager of Smith-Wollensky Steakhouse."

"All subsequent services will be personally responsible for me"

"No matter what questions you have, you can come to me and I will do my best to satisfy you."

"Mr. Warren Buffett arrived ten minutes ago. I'll take you in.

Huo Wenyao smiled slightly and said,"Okay, thank you very much.""

Subsequently, Smith-Wollensky's general manager McCarron was in front, and Huo Wenyao, accompanied by Luo Tianhong and Jiang Yi, entered the restaurant.

By the way, Zuo Wei left half a month ago and went to Treasure Island to look for Dafan. A few minutes later

, Huo Wenyao came to a box.

Buffett had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Huo Wenyao's arrival, Buffett stood up, stretched out his hand to Huo Wenyao, and said with a smile:"Mr. Huo, I have long admired your name. Nice to meet you.""

"where. Huo

Wenyao smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to shake Buffett's hand, and said with a smile:"Mr. Warren Buffett is an old man in the investment world, and you are the real famous one.""

"I've wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I've never found the right opportunity."

"However, there is a saying in our country,"It's never too late to eat well." Just before I left Newyork, I was able to meet Mr. Warren Buffett, which was an unexpected surprise."

While chatting and laughing, everyone took their seats.

Luo Tianhong and Jiang Yi sat down to the left and right of Huo Wenyao. Buffett was not alone. He also brought two partners over, and they all introduced themselves.

Jiang Yi, whose English name is Paul, a senior of Chen Taotao, is a Wall Street elite.

He was even more excited than Huo Wenyao during this meal.

With his two stud-like gambling fortunes in 1985 and 1987, Huo Wenyao today is not just as famous as he is. The number one person in international financial investment.

Although he is a rising star, he is even more famous than Buffett.

But for Jiang Yi, Buffett has a completely different meaning.

In the financial investment industry, he is a guiding light for many investors. , including Jiang Yi, who is his absolute idol, and this guy also came here with the intention of pilgrimage.

It is reasonable to be so excited.

The atmosphere of the entire lunch is both relaxed and harmonious.

Huo Wenyao and Buffett are thinking They collided with each other and each talked about a lot of their own investment ideas, which benefited a lot of people present.

Of course, Luo Tianhong was an exception.

Without talking about financial investment, this guy couldn't even understand English.

For him, this lunch The only meaning is that the steak is great!

Everyone else was talking and laughing, and he was the only one eating the food and working hard.

Half an hour into the lunch, Huo Wenyao glanced at the excited Jiang Yi and joked:"Wo Lun, I think in the future when the time comes, you can do an interesting charity project.

Buffett asked curiously:"Huo, what is interesting charity?""

"It's him."

Huo Wenyao said with a smile:"You can hold a charity auction called 'Lunch with Buffett' and donate all the money raised."

"I think there must be many people willing to participate"

"In this way, you can not only satisfy many people's pilgrimage, but also pass on your investment philosophy. At the same time, you can also do charity. Isn't it wonderful to achieve multiple things with one stone?"

Buffett was stunned.

The eyes of Jiang Yi and the two people brought by Buffett lit up.

This idea is really brilliant! If we really do this, even Buffett himself will become a rare brand in the world, just like Coca-Cola, with global influence The power will also be expanded, which will definitely be of great help to the company's operations.
