Starting with a fully invested A-share portfolio to become a capital...

Chapter 170: Three Plans for Coming to America, and a Chance Encounter with Ex-Girlfriend Taylor Swift

As daylight illuminates China and light streams through windows into rooms, people open their sleepy eyes to welcome a new day.

According to the "24th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China" released by the China Internet Network Information Center on July 16, 2009, the number of Chinese netizens had reached 3.38 million, an increase of 13.4% compared with the end of 2008, an increase of 40 million in six months, and the Internet penetration rate reached 25.5%.

Because 3G network services have only just begun and mobile network penetration is low, China is currently still in the broadband network stage.

According to data from China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation, as of the end of July 2009, the total number of A-share accounts was 1.33 million, of which 130 million were individual A-share accounts.

In other words, nearly half of the 3.38 million internet users are stock market investors.

The first thing most stock market investors do when they wake up is turn on their computer, then wash up, and after that, browse financial information.

However, when some stock investors opened Weibo and saw the trending topic "The financial website that even Warren Buffett uses," they were immediately alerted and quickly clicked to check it out.

[Little Lotus Tip]: Is Caiyan.com really that amazing? They actually managed to get Buffett as their spokesperson, their connections must be incredibly strong!

[Toilet Watermelon]: Is it possible that the only difference between me and Buffett is a financial website?
[Genius and Madman]: I've registered on Caiyan.com before. It has a lot of comprehensive functions, but I'm used to Eastmoney.com and don't want to switch.

[Love Can Overcome Difficulties]: First, Alibaba invested 5000 million yuan, then Warren Buffett gave it his full recommendation. Is Caiyan.com going to reach for the sky and stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?
Starting at 7:30 a.m., the number of registered users on Caiyan.com began to surge. By 9 a.m., the total number of registered users on Caiyan.com had reached 19, just one step away from 20.

At this moment, the marketing department employees in the Caiyan.com office building were discussing the matter.

"Incredible! We gained 50,000 to 60,000 new registered users in just one night. If this growth rate continues, it won't be long before our website surpasses 500,000!"

"General Manager Zhang promised that as long as the number of registered users exceeds 500,000 by the end of the year, each person will receive a performance bonus of 10,000 yuan, plus an annual bonus of no less than the performance bonus, with a minimum of 20,000 yuan. That's three months' salary for me!"

“When starting a business, you have to work with a boss like this, unlike my previous one, who was stingy.”

"50 is too little. Let me give you a number: let's break 100 million by the end of the year!"

"Breaking 100 million is truly unbeatable. Even Eastmoney and Tonghuashun don't have this growth rate. It's definitely the standard for an industry leader!"

"We're the industry leader!"

Not only the marketing department, but employees in other departments were also incredibly excited when they learned that the number of registrations had surged.

9 points.

The number of registered users on Caiyan.com has exceeded 20.

After staying up all night, Dai Shuhan, sporting dark circles under his eyes, couldn't resist dancing a celebratory dance in his office as the number of registrations continued to soar, his hips swaying wildly.

"We already have 20 registered users. We'll have to break 30 tonight, won't we?"

"Achieving 50 registered users by the end of the year is a piece of cake, haha!"

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Dai Shuhan burst into laughter.

As his laughter echoed, the two major A-share indices diverged. The Shanghai Composite Index is currently at 3275.67, up 0.27%, while the Shenzhen Component Index is currently at 13380.57, down 0.03%.

If we compare A-shares and US stocks, A-shares can be said to have completely outperformed US stocks in terms of the rise from October 2008 to July 2009.

The pattern of US stock market rises for three days, falls for one day, then consolidates for two days before rising again gives people the illusion that it could fall at any time.

The rise in A-shares is different; it's a pattern of rising followed by falling and then rising again, with almost no sideways consolidation.

If you zoom out on the daily chart from 2008 to 2009, you'll find that the A-share market followed a V-shaped upward trend, while the US stock market was more like a slow, steady climb.

……

And on the other side.

New York, USA.

Marriott Marquis Hotel.

As an iconic building in Times Square, Manhattan, the Marriott Marquis Hotel not only boasts a superb location with direct views of Times Square and the Manhattan skyline, but also offers the experience of the revolving rooftop restaurant, The View, which allows you to "step on" the entire Times Square.

Since the Marriott Marquis Hotel had been booked by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink for the "Wall Street Investment Dinner," a sign saying "Temporarily Closed to the Public" was already placed at the hotel entrance, and a doorman was explaining the situation outside.

Zhang Yang, holding Buffett's admission ticket, easily passed through security.

Upon entering the hotel, young men in formal doorman uniforms gave directions, while many women in glamorous attire headed to the venue.

No matter the level of the banquet, women are an indispensable ingredient.

Just like at the Zhejiang businessmen's banquet, if you are good-looking and have won modeling awards, you may be invited by the organizers to have the opportunity to serve tea and water.

Don't underestimate the task of serving tea and water; it's difficult for the average person to even get in to serve tea and water.

After all, at a banquet where big shots gather, overhearing even a few insider tips could change one's fate.

Watching the young, beautiful women with excellent figures walk into the magnificent, spacious banquet hall, Zhang Yang was not surprised. Instead, he went straight to find Buffett.

Not a moment.

He spotted Buffett in the corner.

At this moment, Buffett sat at the dining table, swirling the red wine in his glass. Whenever someone came up to chat and wanted to sit down for a long talk, he would refuse, as if he was waiting for someone.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yang walked straight over and greeted him apologetically, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Mr. Buffett."

Upon seeing Zhang Yang, Buffett gestured, "Please sit down."

"Thank you."

Zhang Yang politely thanked them.

The moment he sat down, many eyes around him flashed with surprise as they sized up the young man with the Asian face.

"Is Buffett waiting for him?"

Who is this Asian man?

"His name is Zhang Yang. He was the final buyer of this year's 'Buffett's Charity Lunch' and is also the president of a financial website."

"How did you know?"

"I watched the live stream. This young man even questioned Buffett to his face. I wonder if the two will have a verbal conflict tonight."

"Asians, that's interesting."

In Wall Street, where whites dominate, investment dinners are naturally predominantly white, with almost no blacks and only a handful of Asians.

As soon as Zhang Yang sat down, Buffett went straight to the point: "What is your purpose?"

Unrestricted US Treasury bonds, massive money printing, and leveraging the dollar's dominant position in the global trade system to force other central banks to loosen monetary policy and collectively adjust their economic cycles—this grand plan is something that only top-tier macroeconomic experts can see.

Even economics experts are completely in the dark without inside information.

In this easing program, central banks around the world are almost all doing it in sync. Without careful observation, it is impossible to tell that it is a forced easing.

"My goal has always been the same: to use your fame to increase the influence of Caiyan.com."

Zhang Yang said frankly.

Because it was a private conversation, he didn't need to have too many concerns.

Given Buffett's current status and position, he generally won't get involved in public disputes unless it touches on his core principles.

Buffett was taken aback at first, then took a sip of red wine and said, "I should have thought of that sooner."

"And what about you? Mr. Buffett invited me to this investment dinner, surely it wasn't just about these things?" Zhang Yang retorted.

"I'd like to discuss macroeconomics with you," Buffett explained, then asked, "Do you think this round of economic adjustment is more beneficial than harmful, or more harmful than beneficial?"

"From a macroeconomic perspective, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, because this is the first time in human history that a small economic cycle has been adjusted through a collective massive injection of liquidity. However, from a microeconomic perspective, future generations may condemn the decision-makers of this round."

Zhang Yang responded with a smile.

Previously, the inability to adjust economic cycles was mainly due to the lack of response from other countries.

For example, if the UK wants to inject a lot of money, but the US, Russia, and France don't, the UK's excessive money printing can only stimulate domestic demand, and external demand still cannot be improved.

But this time is different. The influence of the US dollar is too great. The whole world wants to earn US dollars. If the US lowers interest rates and loosens monetary policy, a large amount of US dollars will flow to other countries through "fronts". If these countries are still in a state of economic deflation, their core assets can easily be bought up by the US.

Buffett: "So, you think there will be another recession and depression?"

“They will definitely come, and they will last longer and be more difficult to deal with, but…”

Zhang Yang then changed the subject and joked, "Faust once said, 'I will enjoy life while I can, and I don't care about the deluge after I die.' Now we are enjoying the sweetness of the economic cycle adjustment, but the next generation may have to suffer twice as much."

Upon hearing this, Buffett couldn't help but look at Zhang Yang with newfound respect, as this young man's words were remarkably similar to those of Charlie Munger.

Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger have privately discussed whether this economic cycle can skip recession and depression and go directly from prosperity to recovery.

Charlie Munger believes that the economy is a recurring entity that constantly experiences birth and death, and each new birth brings a brand new look.

If you forcibly change this rule, it will turn into a monster.

"Since the economy is bound to recover, which direction does Mr. Buffett favor?"

Zhang Yang boldly asked questions.

When asked such a sensitive question, Buffett became very attentive and replied, "3G network technology and smart mobile terminals are what I am quite interested in."

Currently, most countries in the world have built 3G network base stations, and more and more mobile phones are beginning to support 3G networks.

If 2G networks can only read text, then 3G networks can easily load images, watch videos, and play online games, although many people don't have enough data.

"I believe that not only are 3G network technology and smart mobile terminals major trends, but also low-carbon economy, lazy economy and blockchain technology will lead the times."

Zhang Yang revealed everything.

The period from 2009 to 2010 was the best era for China's economy.

why would you say so?

The Internet, 3G mobile technology, smartphones, blockchain technology, low-carbon economy, and so on—each of these is a core driver of economic growth.

If the capital behind the scenes does not forcibly adjust the economic cycle, but instead allows these technology-based industrial chains to improve before releasing liquidity, the global economy will be much more stable.

"Blockchain technology?"

Buffett felt a vague sense of familiarity.

"This is a distributed ledger technology. Its core is to link data into a chain in chronological order using 'blocks' in a decentralized manner, so as to achieve transparency, immutability and traceability of information."

"Satoshi Nakamoto?"

When Zhang Yang uttered those words, Buffett immediately thought of a certain team.

"Mr. Buffett knows Satoshi Nakamoto?" Zhang Yang asked, somewhat surprised.

It's worth noting that Buffett is a major critic of cryptocurrencies. In one of his past lives, someone gifted him Bitcoin, and he directly commented that it was "a recipe for rat poison."

Why is Buffett so resistant?

Very simple.

He is old capital.

Cryptocurrencies are disrupting the old monetary system, and Buffett had already missed the best time to enter the market. He was well aware that if he entered, he would be giving away money, so he insisted that cryptocurrencies had no value.

"They sent me more than 30 emails over three consecutive days, seemingly promoting something called Bit."

Buffett thought for a moment and said.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang thought for a moment and kindly reminded him, "Perhaps you can take a closer look. Maybe this new type of currency will overturn your understanding of wealth."

"???"

Buffett immediately frowned, his eyes flashing with doubt.

After a half-second silence, he asked, "You're not joking?"

“I’m serious. Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology achieves true decentralization, and no one can supervise it. You can think about what that means.”

When Zhang Yang uttered those words, Buffett immediately fell into deep thought.

Decentralization.

There is no oversight.

"You mean..."

Before Buffett could finish speaking, Zhang Yang immediately nodded and interrupted, "That's right, the next few years will be the best investment period in the next forty years. I would also like to ask Mr. Buffett for a favor."

"What's the deal?"

Buffett became interested.

After a brief conversation, he could clearly sense that Zhang Yang's expertise in macroeconomics was no less than his own, and that his acceptance of new things far surpassed his own.

The essence of social interaction is mutual benefit. Perhaps his current ostentation is not enough to make Buffett ask him for something, but who can predict what will happen in the future?

“A friend of mine wants to learn hedging investment strategies. Currently, China has not yet opened up index futures, so there is no suitable environment for learning hedging investment strategies. I know that Berkshire Hathaway has a hedging strategy master named Todd Combs. I would like to ask you to help introduce him or make arrangements.”

Before coming to the United States, Zhang Yang had already planned what he wanted to do.

1. Use Buffett to promote the financial research website.

The second option is to find a reliable hedge fund investment strategy master and have Xu Zhiruo systematically learn how to invest in the United States.

3. Establish a charitable foundation specifically for retired and disabled veterans.

Using Buffett to promote the financial research website is, needless to say, the main purpose of this trip.

Since Xu Zhiruo has become Zhang Yang's apprentice, he has a responsibility to teach her how to hedge risks and pave the way for her.

Berkshire Hathaway is a company that countless investors want to get into.

If your resume includes a date when you joined Berkshire Hathaway, you can basically do whatever you want on Wall Street.

Zhang Yang had crossed paths with Todd Combs, the hedge strategy master, in a previous life. Combs was a pure investor like Buffett, a genius who was both talented and hardworking.

"Todd Combs..."

Buffett thought for a moment and commented, "He is indeed a master of hedging strategies. His Castle Point Capital hedge fund, which he founded in 2005, achieved a 34% return during the subprime crisis, but I'm not sure if he would let your friend act as his assistant."

“Act within your ability.”

Zhang Yang raised his glass and said.

"Clang—" The two gently clinked their glasses, then downed their red wine in one gulp.

The moment the drink went down his throat, Buffett peered through the transparent glass at the young man opposite him, as if trying to see right through him.

He never expected that a young man in his twenties could talk so fluently with him and could easily keep up with every sentence.

As the saying goes, when masters clash, they stop when they've made their move.

Why should we stop short of revealing the truth?

Because at the moment of engagement, both sides have basically figured out each other's strengths and weaknesses, and in order to save face, or rather, to give the other side face, they will choose to stop when the fight is over.

Buffett didn't know Zhang Yang's specific background in China, but he had heard of Alibaba, which was China's "Amazon." Considering Zhang Yang's potential and value, he decided to help him out, thinking that Zhang Yang's favor might come in handy in the future.

……

After talking alone with Zhang Yang for another ten minutes, several VIP guests arrived at the banquet hall one after another.

For example, there's Lloyd Blankfein, the bald CEO of Goldman Sachs with a fierce look in his eyes; Jamie Dimon, the white-haired, refined-looking CEO of JPMorgan Chase; and John Mack, the forty-year-old CEO of Morgan Stanley with a full beard.

Their arrival immediately stirred up the banquet hall.

Even though the elites of Wall Street are already the cream of the crop, compared to these people, they are nothing more than stars vying for the moon's brilliance.

Buffett didn't stay with Zhang Yang for long; he also had his own network of connections.

Because Zhang Yang had a private conversation with Buffett, and even had Buffett personally wait for him, many Wall Street managers and world-renowned supermodels approached him with ulterior motives.

Having spent many years in social circles, Zhang Yang naturally understood their purpose: they simply wanted to know his relationship with Buffett and see if he could make contact with him.

In this situation, the best approach is to play dumb and pretend to be very familiar with Buffett.

Although most of the people here are unreliable and can't be counted on, having more contact information is always good in case you need it later.

There's no harm in socializing more.

It was with this mindset that Zhang Yang became acquainted with several investment managers on Wall Street. They looked at David Tepper, who had just arrived, and tried to find out more about Zhang Yang.

"David Tepper, founder of Appaloosa Asset Management, is a legendary Wall Street manager who made huge profits during the 2007 financial crisis by heavily investing in bonds and stocks of banking giants such as Bank of America and Citigroup, reportedly earning tens of billions of dollars."

"I wish I knew him."

"I almost forgot to ask, Zhang Yang, which investment company do you work for?"

Several Wall Street fund managers fixed their attention on Zhang Yang, eager to learn more about him.

Since the other party assumed he had connections, Zhang Yang immediately lied and said, "I interned at Bridgewater Associates and Berkshire Hathaway."

"I bought it!"

"Bridgewater and Berkshire Hathaway? My God, did I hear that right?!"

"This is incredible!"

Just as these Wall Street fund managers were beginning to look at Zhang Yang with new respect, the latter suddenly spotted a familiar figure.

The other woman wore a scarlet gown with a draped neckline that accentuated her delicate collarbones. The high slit revealed her long, slender legs, which were straight and well-proportioned like those of an ancient Greek sculpture. Her ankles were adorned with matching high heels, which made her figure appear even more upright.

She is none other than Taylor Swift, who became a rising star in the American music scene with "Love Story."

In her past life, Zhang Yang and she had a romantic relationship for a period of time. Unexpectedly, the two met again in this life.

"excuse me."

Zhang Yang politely left his current group and walked straight towards Taylor Swift.

As the hotel waiter passed by, he casually took two glasses of red wine from the tray.

At this moment, Taylor Swift was talking with two fund managers, one of whom Zhang Yang recognized as an asset manager at Bridgewater Associates.

He wasn't intimidated at all and approached Taylor Swift, saying, "Beautiful lady, may I buy you a drink?"

When it comes to dating women, especially Western women, the most important thing is to be bold.

In their past life, Zhang Yang and Taylor Swift had a romantic connection. They bought tickets to each other's concerts, and during the interaction, Zhang Yang gave Taylor Swift his phone number.

Taylor Swift, only 19 years old, had extremely clear, sapphire-like eyes as she looked at Zhang Yang. She hadn't met many Asian faces, but the young man in front of her seemed to be about the same age as her, and was also a handsome guy.

She accepted the wine glass with pleasure, saying, "Of course."

"clang--"

The two clinked glasses lightly, smiled at each other, and then drank their drinks in one gulp.

After a brief greeting, Zhang Yang gestured in one direction and said, "I'm over there. If you have time, we can sit down and chat."

Then, he looked at the two managers next to him and said, "Sorry to interrupt your conversation."

Without pausing, Zhang Yang turned and walked toward the empty table in the direction he had indicated.

Although the two managers who were talking to Taylor Swift were displeased, they did not show it in front of the beautiful woman.

The West values ​​gentlemanly culture.

The so-called Western gentleman is someone who looks like a normal person in public, but behind the scenes, they all have perverted ways.

……

Just as Zhang Yang was about to flirt with his ex-girlfriend from his previous life, stock market investors back in China were already crying out in despair.

[Laughs without saying a word]: Hang in there! Shanghai Composite Index, hold on!
[Invincible Hot]: Didn't you say it was going to be a soaring bull market? Teacher Da Xiao lied to me again. 1300 stocks fell. Did a pile of cow dung fly over here?
[Stop the war as a means of fighting]: Don't panic, don't panic, everyone don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment, trust Teacher Da Xiao's Flying Cow.

[Love the Wrong Person for Life]: Damn it, the Shanghai Composite Index is down 1.6%, and you call it a technical adjustment? I'll give you a piece of my mind!

Just 10 minutes ago, a short market report was confirmed.

On July 16, a short article circulated in the A-share market stating that "China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (CSDC) will suspend the opening of securities accounts by trust companies to prevent the IPO of Huaguo Construction from being overhyped by the market."

Now, this short post has been confirmed by China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation Limited (CSDC), and July 21st was also the online roadshow fundraising day for Huaguo Construction.

Why hold online roadshows?

Huaguo Construction is the first large-cap stock to resume IPOs since the 2008 financial crisis, and plans to raise approximately 426 billion yuan for infrastructure, real estate development and other projects.

What does 426 billion yuan mean?
The three stocks mentioned above, Guilin Sanjin, Wanma Cable, and You'an Shares, together raised only 24.13 billion yuan.

Huaguo Construction's stock alone will drain 426 billion yuan!

On the previous trading day, the A-share market saw a turnover of 3400 billion yuan. This level of capital drain has drawn criticism from numerous financial media outlets, who have condemned it as a "blood-draining pump."

It was precisely because Huaguo Construction was revealed to be raising 426 billion yuan that the entire A-share market was shattered.

Currently, both the Shanghai Composite Index and the Shenzhen Component Index are falling, and foreign capital has seen a net outflow of 76 billion yuan, indicating a strong trend of withdrawing from the market.

Seeing the massive outflow of foreign capital, Li Daxiao, the self-proclaimed "founder of the bull market," quickly recorded a video to comfort the wounded hearts of retail investors.

[Comrades, don't be afraid. China Construction is a large-cap stock. Although large-cap stocks raise a lot of funds, the actions of China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (CSDC) indicate that the higher authorities do not want our core assets to be snapped up by foreign capital. Rest assured, the value-driven bull market in the Chinese stock market is still going strong. Let's fight for value, fight for the Chinese stock market, and hold onto 3200 points!]
The emergence of the "value bull market" has attracted countless fans who firmly believe in Li Daxiao to enter the market, with some even going all in to subscribe to new shares.

[Form is Emptiness]: Hold the 3200-point mark and protect the value bull market!

[Little Meow Woof Woof]: Holy crap, so the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (CSDC) suspended the opening of securities accounts by trust companies to prevent foreign capital from buying up Huaguo Construction at rock-bottom prices? Then I'm going all in!

[Grand Magus]: I will subscribe for the full amount directly. I absolutely cannot let foreign capital snatch away our China's core assets!

Less than ten minutes after Li Daxiao spoke out, the IPO progress of Huaguo Construction increased by 5.9%, and even the two major A-share indices showed a significant rebound.

Perhaps even the leaders of China Construction Group would not have imagined that a single sentence from Li Daxiao could be worth billions.

……

While the A-share market was still fighting to defend the 3200-point mark, Zhang Yang and Taylor Swift had already gone to the dance floor area in front of the banquet hall and were leisurely dancing Western dances.

As Taylor Swift's dance partner, Zhang Yang held Taylor Swift's right hand tightly with her left hand, while his left hand rested steadily on Taylor Swift's waist.

The scarlet dress was made of a very thin fabric, as light as a cicada's wing, and Zhang Yang could clearly feel the warmth of the other person's body around her waist.

You advance, she retreats.

You retreat, she advances.

The two danced to the rhythm of the melodious classical music, their movements light and fluid, their steps as if they were walking on clouds.

"Where are you from?" In the melodious and slow tune, Taylor Swift's sapphire-like eyes stared directly at Zhang Yang.

Because she rarely interacted with Asians, she didn't know whether Zhang Yang was Japanese, Korean, or Chinese.

Judging from her hairstyle, Zhang Yang looks a bit like a Korean oppa.

"China".

Zhang Yang smiled faintly.

"China..."

Taylor Swift thought for a moment and said, "I've heard that Shanghai is very beautiful, but I've never been there. Is it beautiful?"

"Shanghai is very beautiful, and China is a country with no guns, so it's very safe at night. If you come to China, I can be your tour guide," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

It's often said that age is a woman's best cosmetic treatment, and that's absolutely true.

At 19, Taylor Swift's skin is so tender it looks like you could squeeze water out of it, and even the skin around her waist feels silky smooth.

"Really?"

"real."

"So what do you do in the United States?"

"invest."

What kind of investment?

Taylor Swift was a little confused.

Zhang Yang still didn't tell the truth, and said with a faint smile, "I've dabbled in stocks, funds, and futures. See that Buffett over there? He and I are old friends."

"I don't believe you, you're lying to me." Taylor Swift's eyes were filled with laughter; she felt that the young man in front of her was just trying to fool her.

"What will it take for you to believe me?" Zhang Yang remained calm and composed.

“Hmm…” Taylor Swift thought for a moment and said, “If you dial his number and it rings, it means you’re not lying to me.”

"If I'm not lying to you, then you need to save your number to my phone."

"can."

After receiving Taylor Swift's promise, Zhang Yang didn't take out his phone, but instead took Taylor Swift directly to Buffett's side.

Buffett had just had a brief chat with Lloyd Blankfein about investment directions when he casually glanced around and saw Zhang Yang walking towards him with Taylor Swift. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "This kid's got some luck with women."

"Mr. Buffett."

Zhang Yang smiled and approached, glancing sideways at Taylor Swift, saying, "This is my new female companion. She said she'd like to get to know you."

"Hello Mr. Buffett, my name is Taylor Swift, you can call me Taylor Swift." Taylor Swift quickly introduced herself.

Looking at the shy face in front of him, Buffett immediately understood and shook hands with her, saying, "Hello, I've heard of you. You're that very popular female singer recently."

"Yes!"

Taylor Swift nodded quickly.

"I look forward to you creating more excellent works." After exchanging polite pleasantries, Buffett looked at Zhang Yang beside him and said, "President Blank and I have some things to attend to, so we won't chat any longer."

"Okay, you get busy first."

Zhang Yang smiled slightly.

As Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein were leaving, the latter glanced at Zhang Yang, as if wondering who he was.

After Buffett and Lloyd Blankfein left, Taylor Swift exclaimed in surprise, "You actually know Buffett? Is your company very big?"

"is acceptable."

Zhang Yang took out his phone and said, "A bet's a bet, time to save the number."

"Don't worry, I won't go back on my word, but I'm still curious, does your company have several thousand or tens of thousands of employees?"

"Several hundred people."

"Do not believe."

"I can't do something like deceiving women."

……

At this Wall Street investment dinner, Zhang Yang didn't choose to socialize with Wall Street elites, but instead kept flirting with Taylor Swift.

Since Caiyan.com's main business is still in China, Zhang Yang currently lacks the capital for business networking with these American elites.

Even if Zhang Yang shamelessly tried to get the contact information of CEOs like Lloyd Blankfein, Jamie Dimon, John Mack, and Larry Fink, they wouldn't take it seriously because Zhang Yang hadn't yet integrated into the Wall Street circle.

He wouldn't engage in pointless socializing, but he wouldn't refuse a Wall Street manager who tried to strike up a conversation.

After all, if someone approaches you, it means they think you have something to offer in terms of connections. With a little persuasion, you might find that this connection is useful.

Halfway through the dinner, Taylor Swift learned that Zhang Yang was a swimming champion. The two hit it off and left early to go to the hotel's indoor pool area for a refreshing swim.

　On the 29th, the first lucky winner of the Shanghai Composite Index lottery received a KFC meal, following the same rules as last month. (A book recommendation is also included.)
