Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1199
“Damn it! Damn it!”
“Bastard! Damn bastard!”
“I will not lose!”
In the Hilton Hotel in London, Buffett, who had just returned, went to visit several famous British billionaires, but unfortunately, they were all politely rejected.
In the rich circle of Britain, any news circulates very quickly. Buffett’s shameful story and the story of losing to Shi Zhijian have been vividly choreographed into jokes, which are widely spread today.
Even though Buffett is famous and powerful on Wall Street, losers are losers. These rich people want money and face, and they will never accept a loser to help them invest. If it spreads, people will laugh at him.
Beside Buffett’s female secretary and the hotel waiter stood by.
The hotel waiter carefully took note of the hotel utensils, coffee cups, coffee pots, and coffee table glasses that Buffett smashed when he was in a rage, and then made calculations in his mind, how much compensation he needed from the other party.
It’s a pity that his mental arithmetic ability is very poor. Like many British people, he has never memorized the formula of the nine-nine multiplication. The only tool is the computer, and he plans to use the computer for statistics later.
When Buffett picked up the metal teapot and wanted to throw it at the TV, the female secretary finally stopped him, “Sir, please calm down!”
“Let go!” Buffett glared at her.
The female secretary released her hand.
Buffett also didn’t throw the metal teapot out again.
He sighed, then put down the teapot, waved his hand, and motioned for the female secretary and the waiter to go out.
The waiter handed a bill to the female secretary and then gave you a look.
The female secretary glared at him.
The waiter immediately bowed and left.
“Mr. Buffett, if you have anything, just call me!” After saying that, the female secretary also bowed to exit.
At this time——
Jingle Bell!
the phone is ringing.
The female secretary hesitated for a moment, and instead of Buffett, she stepped forward to answer the phone call from the desk.
“Hello, who are you looking for?”
“Uh, please wait a moment-”
The female secretary looked at Buffett with puzzled eyes, covered the microphone with one hand and said, “Sir, I’m looking for you!”
Buffett was sitting on the sofa with his face covered. Hearing this, he got up and walked over to answer the phone.
“Hello, I’m Buffett!”
A proud voice sounded on the other end of the phone: “Hello, I’m Donnie Rothschild!”
…
London, Royal Turf Club.
The United Kingdom is the birthplace of modern horse racing, and the British have perfectly combined this sport with betting in a unique way, and introduced this model to the world.
Historically, the War of the Roses (1455-1487), which lasted for more than 30 years, brought serious damage to England. In order to develop the domestic horse industry, Henry VII and Henry VIII began to introduce a large number of excellent stallions from Italy, Spain and North Africa. In order to cultivate the atmosphere of horse breeding, the king personally organized competitions between nobles. This is where the title “King’s Movement” comes from.
The battle of British horse racing has always been centered on the royal family. Charles II is known as the “father of British horse racing”. During his reign, he established the “King’s Cup” and set up a bonus for this event.
Queen Anne is also an avid rider and has bred many excellent horses. Horse racing became a professional sport during her reign. The famous Royal Jockey Club was established at this time. Due to Queen Anne’s influence, the Royal Jockey Club’s annual event is still known today as the Queen Anne Grand Prix.
As a leader of the Apostles, Donnie Rothschild has long occupied the Royal Jockey Club by virtue of his family relationship. Whether it is a captive racehorse or a recruited jockey, he is the ace and elite of the Jockey Club.
Occasionally, the royal family of the British Empire wants to make a show of the horse racing, and they also need to say hello to Downey in advance, let Downey release the water during the horse race, or simply not participate, only in this way can those members of the royal family win the horse race and then be able to appear in front of the public media.” lead the horse”.
Warren Buffett, led by the head of the Jockey Club, walked into a training ground at the Royal Jockey Club.
In the field, a middle-aged Caucasian man dressed in a British grey-black suit and a top hat with a civilized stick under his arm was stroking the head of a sturdy pure black horse in front of him. Wearing a black horse, he was talking to a white man: “Mr. Downey, this horse has noble Italian blood, not only is it black, but also has amazing explosive power. The sprint race is the most dominant, and this race will definitely win! ”
Downey smiled, heard the movement behind him, and knew that Buffett, the guest he had invited, was coming, so he deliberately stroked the horse’s head and said, “I am very confident in it – not because it is too strong, but because it is too strong. This time, its opponents are too weak!”
Who is Buffett? How could he not hear what he said clearly? !
“Okay, let’s take it away, you must pay attention before the game, don’t go wrong! Remember my words, before there is no game, the winner or loser is not yet decided!”
“Okay, Mr. Downey!” The trainer led the horse away, and Downey Rothschild turned around to look at Warren Buffett, who was already standing behind him.
The person in charge of the racecourse stepped forward: “Mr. Downey, I brought you the guests you invited!”
“Thank you, thank you!” Downey nodded slightly to the man, expressing his gratitude. Then he looked at Buffett, walked up and stretched out his hand and said, “Hello, Mr. Buffett, get to know me, my name is Donnie Rothschild!”
Of course, Buffett knows who this person is. The Rothschild family is not only famous in the UK, but also a wealthy chaebol in the United States. How dare Warren Buffett underestimate him?
Immediately, Buffett shook hands and said, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Downey!” in a respectful tone.
Downey looked Buffett up and down, and then said, “I’m sorry, I invited you to this kind of place during my busy schedule—-” Holding the civilization stick, he pointed around, “This place can’t compare to a big hotel, a coffee shop, It’s really not a good place to discuss things, but it’s a place to inspire people and make people’s blood boil!”
“Looking at those racing horses with high fighting spirit, even if they lose for a moment, they will come back in the future. Whether they are in their bones or in their blood, the words ‘never give up’ are inscribed!
“I think, according to your current mood, Mr. Buffett, it’s better to come here and watch a horse race than to sit in a coffee shop and drink a cappuccino!”
Hearing this, Buffett immediately understood what the other party was talking about, and hurriedly said, “Mr. Downey has a heart, it’s really exciting here!”
“Haha! In fact, the UK is a very small place, and all news spreads very quickly. It just happened that someone from the Apostolic Society mentioned you to me recently. I heard that you came all the way from the United States to raise funds, but you are not good enough. One step, someone else took the lead in the end, and now you are disheartened and ready to return to the United States?”
Downey put on a lazy attitude again, of course, even so, the domineering in his words was undoubtedly revealed.
Buffett is a person with an active mind. Hearing what Downey said, he naturally understood what Downey wanted to ask.
According to Buffett’s understanding, Downey, as a boss of the Apostles, plays a pivotal role in the Apostles, and can even surpass Dennis and others in terms of financial resources.
It’s just that Dennis and others, as the local faction of the British Empire, have an advantage in the political arena and the military world. Another reason why Shi Zhijian asked these people to raise funds this time is that they want to use the strength of Dennis and others to cooperate with Downey. and others to contend.
When Buffett came to the United Kingdom from the United States to raise funds, he did not consider asking Downey for help, but the problem is that the Rothschild family behind Downey has always been known for their greed, and any financial investor is profiteering in their eyes. A humanoid tool that doesn’t get the slightest respect.
Buffett is an arrogant person, and he will never bow his head to such a disrespectful person for money.
But now Donnie Rothschild took the initiative to find himself. What does this mean?
Buffett thought quickly in his mind, but he didn’t dare to neglect, and quickly told his experience.
From flying from New York, USA to London, UK, and from London, UK to the Pennine Mountains by helicopter to participate in collective hunting, to encountering Shi Zhijian, he was tested by Dennis and others, and finally lost the game by one move. Shi Zhijian, the whole process was explained in full, without any omission.
Because he knew that Downey in front of him would never come to him for no reason, and London was the opponent’s territory.
Looking at the laid-back attitude of Downey now, but since he can take charge of the Rothschild family business, it is enough to prove his toughness. Before he understands Downey’s true intentions, Buffett’s best choice is to take the British side. The encounter confessed, and the other party’s reaction was tested.
After listening to Buffett’s narration, Downey shrugged his shoulders, raised his civilized stick and tapped the ground, and said, “I’m sorry for what happened to you, Mr. Buffett! I know Dennis and others, and they are also members of our Apostolic Society. Man, to be precise, we are still friends! But in this case, I think he made a bad decision!”
“Although everyone likes to say that there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies in this world, but that Shi Zhijian is different. Those of you who have been in contact with him should know that he has wolf ambitions and is a difficult person to control!”
As soon as Buffett heard this, he knew there was a drama, and his heart warmed up slightly. He looked at Downey and said, “You are right, Mr. Downey! But what kind of interests will blind some people, not to mention that Shi Zhijian is as cunning as a fox, This time, I promised Dennis and others such a high profit, and I can’t bear it!”
“Really? So now, do you want me to help you——” Downey looked at Buffett with a half-smile.
Buffett’s heart throbbed slightly, but he seemed calm on the surface, and he lowered his head a little: “I’m disheartened now, and I’m going to return to the United States to no longer participate in fundraising here. For your help, Mr. Downey, I can only express my gratitude!”
“Really? You refused before I said how to help you?” Downey held the Civilization Stick and smashed it on the ground, his eyebrows raised and he seemed a little angry.
Buffett stabilized his mind and knew that only by doing so would he be qualified to bargain, otherwise he would only be looked down upon by the other party and become a slave driven by him!
“Actually, you don’t need to listen to me to know that Mr. Downey is definitely going to invest in me, but as a defeated general, I’m really incompetent, so… hey!” Buffett shook his head with a look of greater sorrow than death.
“Mr. Buffett! This is not America, there is no Broadway, you don’t need to perform so hard!” Downey interrupted Buffett and said, “Let’s be honest with each other and stop beating around the bush! Now you need financial support, and I , I just need you to help me defeat Shi Zhijian! Of course, at the same time, make some more money in the stock market! This requirement is not too much, right?”
Buffett took a breath: “It’s my duty to help investors make money in the stock market! Even if you don’t tell Mr. Downey, I will definitely do it! As for defeating Shi Zhijian, he is not someone who can easily deal with it, Long Teng. The fund is controlled by him behind the scenes, I have checked the investment of this fund over the years, and it has almost never lost!”
“Why, are you afraid of him?”
“It’s not fear, it’s curiosity!” Buffett said firmly, “How can one person do this?”
“Hehe, not only are you curious, but I am also curious! So I will use funds to support you! He Shi Zhijian raised one billion, and I will help you prepare one billion. You are an American stock god, and he is an Asian stock god. , I want to see whether our stock gods are powerful, or their Asian powers?!”
With one billion dollars to support Buffett, only a big guy like Downey can do it!
Buffett was excited to the top. He didn’t expect Downey’s support to be so great. He originally thought that he could raise three or four billion yuan, but he didn’t expect that the other party would be one billion when he said it!
With one billion, Buffett can compete with Shi Zhijian in the stock market, and see who is the real son of heaven, the myth of the stock market!
“Mr. Downey, are you serious?” Buffett still couldn’t believe it.
“What, do I look like I’m joking?” Downey asked rhetorically.
“Oh no, God! How can I thank you for that?”
“Don’t thank me!” Downey gave Buffett a deep look: “If you have to thank me, then help me defeat Shi Zhijian!”
“Definitely! Yes, I definitely will!” Buffett could no longer hide his excitement, his tone trembling.
“Of course, there is one more thing—-” Downey pointed at Buffett’s nose with a civilized stick, “You are American, I am British, I am very moved that you came all the way to raise funds, but I am moved I’m moved, the rules still have to be said… You promised Dennis and the others to double in three years, which I appreciate very much!”
Buffett immediately understood: “Don’t worry, my return on investment is very high! At least 30% a year! You invest 1 billion in me, and I will make you 300 million in one year!”
“GOOD!” Downey pointed to Buffett, “I believe in you!”
