Chapter 807 Practically Giving Away Money

People's joys and sorrows are fundamentally different.

Kanto Willis, as a business elite, is also a typical egoist.

He says "God bless you" but actually only wants Su Yehao to buy private equity funds.

A transaction volume of one hundred million U.S. dollars would earn him a bonus of about one million U.S. dollars, which he considers more important than anything else.

Today is Saturday.

Su Yehao feels there is still time to prepare, and Kanto Willis and his colleagues think so too.

Just twenty minutes ago, Goldman Sachs made a secret decision to launch a special private equity fund, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to make quick money and generate some performance through its subsidiaries.

Senior partners with resources have been calling around the world to promote it, looking for major clients interested in the "new opportunity."

Kanto Willis just took a stroll and successfully pulled in more than seventy million U.S. dollars.

Although tonight's party was nominally cancelled, most guests still chose to attend, with representatives of multinational companies everywhere.

For example, a member of Boeing's board of directors agreed to invest twenty million U.S. dollars to buy Goldman Sachs' private equity fund. At the moment, this Boeing executive is communicating with representatives of mainland airlines, holding a Boeing 737 aircraft model in his hand, smiling from ear to ear.

Boeing not only sells airplanes, but is also a major arms dealer. Even if the aviation industry is affected in the short term, Boeing's current orders are enough to keep it busy for a long time, which doesn't matter to the shareholders.

At this moment.

Taking a glass of champagne, Su Yehao continued to ask, "So...do the companies inside the Twin Towers often work overtime on Saturdays?"

Seeing that he was very interested, Kanto Willis earnestly explained:

"The income in New York's financial industry is very high, so working overtime is simply too normal. Some people have calculated that the average weekly working hours are more than eighty hours, and there are quite a few unlucky people who work more than one hundred hours. It may not be too busy during working hours, but financial business is all over the world, and someone always has to stay in the company to deal with problems, so even on Saturdays, there should be many unlucky guys in the Twin Towers, hopefully they can run out through the emergency exits in time."

Su Yehao, who hadn't learned much about Wall Street's overtime culture, was now thinking that his employees were actually more comfortable than those on Wall Street. Although departments such as the assistant's office occasionally worked overtime, it was definitely not as exaggerated as working at least eighty hours a week.

Thinking about it this way, there should be more people trapped in the New York World Trade Center than expected.

A middle-aged white woman, who specially wore a red dress today and probably learned about mainland cultural customs in advance, chimed in at this time:

"Are you talking about the New York thing? It's really terrible. I have friends who work there. It seems that many firefighters didn't evacuate in time before the building collapsed."

Kanto Willis shrugged and said, "Looking at its condition, it didn't seem serious. Who would have thought the building would collapse?"

This middle-aged white woman mainly came for Su Yehao, reaching out and smiling as she said:

"Hello, you can call me Catherine, Catherine Moreau. I'm the Director of Operations at eBay. Su, you're doing very well in the mainland market. Our two companies may have opportunities for cooperation."

"eBay is a great company, and I've always wanted the payment tool PayPal to reach a cooperation with you."

A flash of light appeared in Su Yehao's eyes.

eBay's business model is similar to Taobao's personal business. Since they attended tonight's event, it shows that they are optimistic about the mainland market.

In an instant.

Su Yehao even thought that he must give Boss Ma more money next, temporarily don't spend time on logistics business, and strive to take down the personal-to-personal and business-to-personal businesses as soon as possible.

Although he doesn't think that eBay has the strength to compete with him in the mainland market, but before it and Amazon were just making small troubles, if they focus on expanding overseas markets in the mainland, it will be quite troublesome.

Catherine Moreau obviously didn't think so much, and just wanted to get close to him, telling him with a bright smile:

"The CEO of PayPal is called Musk, right? A very young guy, I've seen him at the company. The proposal on commission sharing is very attractive, but our CEO doesn't want to hand over such an important payment link to a third-party company for the time being."

"It's just one of the payment methods, to meet customer needs. Elon Musk and I don't have the idea of completely monopolizing eBay's payment links."

After Su Yehao finished speaking, he was worried that Catherine Moreau would make a big deal out of this, mentioning the business in the mainland, trying to achieve some exchange of benefits.

Therefore, he took the initiative to say to Kanto:

"In terms of investment banking business, my 5s International Financial Company and Goldman Sachs can also carry out more cooperation. How about finding a place to talk about the private equity fund?"

Hearing this, Kanto immediately got excited, feeling that millions of dollars in commission were waving to him frantically.

He immediately replied:

"No problem, let's go to the lounge next door. I just received a text message that Washington has already held a press conference, and I feel that this will cause a terrible impact..."

Seeing Su Yehao smile at her and leave directly with Kanto, Catherine Moreau didn't feel anything.

Although there were many guests present, Su Yehao was still the richest one, so it was inevitable that he would be busy.

5s Asset Management Company also sells funds.

Compared with Goldman Sachs Group, the current channels and resources are far behind.

Listening to Kanto's introduction, it also meant learning and drawing lessons, and obtaining Goldman Sachs' intelligence for free.

After a brief chat between the two sides, Su Yehao only felt that the other party was not much smarter than himself, but was simply optimistic about arms, the U.S. dollar, and pessimistic about the stock market.

Since Goldman Sachs is willing to do it for him and takes the initiative to come to him, he quickly decided to buy a private equity fund worth three hundred million U.S. dollars through a shell company registered in the Cayman Islands, only agreeing to closed management for a quarter.

The托管 commission and handling fee are slightly higher, but Su Yehao still bought it, and also entrusted Goldman Sachs to use another two hundred million U.S. dollars to add leverage and be bullish on gold futures. The only requirement is to keep all information confidential and not include any names related to himself.

This is undoubtedly a super big order.

Kanto was so excited, thinking that it was indeed easier to make money from super-rich people.

Just leaking a little bit out was enough for him to buy a nice apartment in Manhattan, which was equivalent to his two years' income at Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs is a large company. Although its reputation in the industry is not good in order to obtain benefits, it is relatively guaranteed in terms of customer privacy.

Kanto certainly knew what Su Yehao was worried about. In fact, he himself was afraid that other colleagues would steal the big client, and patted his chest to guarantee that he would block all client information.

……

In the end, the mainland successfully submitted the documents.

However, apart from the mainland, the headline news was stolen by the Twin Towers.

Su Yehao rested in Qatar for one night, and the next day he was not in a hurry to go home. He continued to assist the mainland in attracting some investment projects, and took half a day to accompany his old man to wander around the desert in Qatar.

The opening hours of each exchange are different.

When a new week began, the Nikkei index fell first, followed by the A-shares and the Hang Seng Index. The Shanghai Composite Index fell by more than three points, and countless companies fell directly to the limit.

Does this still need to be considered?

The rare opportunity to buy at the bottom was almost giving Su Yehao money.

When the panic ends and the good news of joining the WTO is gradually released, most of the high-quality companies will rise sharply.

In addition to Goldman Sachs, Su Yehao's own team is also frantically adding leverage, eating in a large number of gold futures contracts on the Tokyo Commodity Exchange. The intraday increase quickly rose from 0.4% to 2.2%, and is still slowly appreciating.

In addition, there is a team responsible for shorting the Nikkei and Hang Seng indexes.

Although many people saw the opportunity, their vision was not as long-term as Su Yehao's. They only regarded it as a short-term shock, and were busy making a profit and running away. Su Yehao desperately increased his position and hoarded a large number of gold futures contracts, only buying and not selling.

The speculative effect was immediate.

In just half a day, the book profit exceeded 350 million Hong Kong dollars. When the Tokyo Commodity Exchange closed at noon, the price of gold in Japan rose by more than three points...
