Chapter 548: The Maliciousness of the Big Capitalists
New York, Upper West Side.
"Good evening. Warren."
In a very ordinary-looking cafe on the corner of the street, Abel smiled and raised the coffee in his hand, paying tribute to the squid god opposite him.
Warren Buffett sat opposite him, and smiled and raised the coffee in his hand, and said with a smile: "Hey! I'm glad you're willing to accompany me to this ordinary coffee shop and have a cup of ordinary coffee when you're so busy."
Abel shrugged.
Where can I go to a café in the Upper West Side? The rent in the Upper West Side is almost one of the most expensive places among the many cities in the entire federal government.
Opening a coffee shop in such a place is either very profitable or purely a hobby, using love to generate electricity and drive it with love.
This coffee shop now.
The business was not very good. At least before the two of them came with a large number of bodyguards, there were no customers in the store. After the two were protected by a large number of bodyguards, the owner simply hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the door.
There weren't many people passing by for most of the day.
Obviously, this coffee shop may be the one that uses Ai Power Generation, otherwise it would not be possible to make money even if it is an average customer price. Because such a coffee shop with a monthly rent of more than 50,000 US dollars in the Upper West Side.
"This coffee shop was once passed by when I was 76 years old. Suddenly I became addicted to coffee and wanted to drink coffee." Buffett whispered, as if he was caught in memories. "At that time, I was the only customer and my secretary. The coffee here was delicious and I liked it very much. But the business was not very good, and it almost went bankrupt. I bought it, and now this coffee shop is mine."
It turned out to be the coffee shop of the stock god.
It is hard to imagine that a stingy guy like Buffett would buy a money-loss business and then run such a money-loss business.
Abel joked: "It doesn't seem like it's profitable. Dear Warren, if I give this coffee shop that doesn't seem to make a lot of money, it's all your revelations, and the news media. Do you think your company's stock will fall by 1% tomorrow?"
"Hahaha!" Warren smiled heartily, "I'm not the only one. Maybe the stock of Microsoft Group will also fall a little. Because of this cafe, there are more than me shareholders. Bill has some shares, well... your grandfather also has some shares. They all like to drink coffee here like me."
Abel raised his eyebrows.
Stop talking.
Unexpectedly, this inconspicuous coffee shop is actually owned by a group of big guys. The big guys really have everything.
I just didn't expect that my cheap grandfather looked so old-fashioned. He actually had the leisure time and ran to a small coffee shop next to the street corner to have a cup of coffee when he was fine.
"Okay. Warren. Let's talk about delicious coffee later. I want to know. You invited me and said you wanted to treat me to a meal. What do you want to talk to me?" Abel said to Buffett straight to the point.
Buffett took a sip of the water on the table. The coffee in the store was freshly ground. The store manager Buffett met when he was 76 years old was preparing their coffee and food for Abel and Buffett.
Now only water can be consumed.
After taking a sip of water, Buffett smiled and said, "Dear little Abel. I have to say that you have surprised all of us in the past few months. Foreign exchange market, stock market, futures market, and various investments in other aspects..."
"Well... it seems that it's November 21st. There are two days left, and you're going to make a lot of money again."
Abel smiled calmly.
He knew what Buffett was referring to. Because in two days, on November 23, he would do nothing and he would really make a big profit.
Because November 23rd was the day when a batch of international crude oil futures CFD contracts that I bet on with the World Bank a month ago expired.
The day after tomorrow, the four banks either hand over the corresponding international crude oil stipulated in their corresponding contracts. Or they make up for the difference in the international crude oil agreement betting contract. No matter which one they choose, Abel will make a big profit.
Article 1 is obviously very unlikely. There are so many international crude oils. Apart from those important oil-producing countries, few people can pay it. The biggest possibility is to make up for the difference in the contract, which is the normal losses in the futures market.
A month ago, a margin of 10 billion US dollars, a leverage multiple of 5 times, and a total of 50 billion US dollars of international crude oil contracts.
When he bought it, it was $71.67 per barrel, but now it is $57 per barrel. On average, one barrel of international crude oil has made an international crude oil contract of about $14.50 billion. According to the contract, it is $700 million.
According to the current number, it is more than 700 million x 14. Abel's profit is about 10 billion US dollars.
Let’s see if international crude oil will continue to decline in the past two days. If it falls, Abel will make more money and rise a little. Unless there are super big events like the Gulf War and 911.
Only when international crude oil prices return to more than US$71.67 will Abel lose money. Otherwise, it will be just a matter of how much money it makes. When the four major banks that went out to the new city and took over this batch of contracts, they could be said to have suffered a lot.
Especially for half of MGDT, according to this loss rate, they will lose at least US$5 billion this time.
Although doing business always has profits and losses, the business that loses more than 5 billion yuan a month is still the hard currency of this world - US dollars.
Such a huge loss-making business.
But it is very rare. Nowadays, many celebrities and experts in the investment industry are criticizing MGDT. This year's annual report of this huge bank is not that good-looking.
According to an article published on Bloomberg, Borbos Durham declared that this year's MGDT stock will fall by at least 2% after the annual report is released. This kind of behemoth stock can be on the news even if it falls by 1%. It is already terrifying to fall so much.
It wasn't the financial crisis like that in 2008.
This is what Buffett joked with Abel now.
Abel was not excited at all about this.
Two mere US$10 billion were found in oil fields worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Although it was cash and the capital flow needed by various large group companies the most, it could no longer arouse too much excitement.
For other entrepreneurs and business groups, they are very urgent and lack very useful cash flow. For him, a guy who can cheat in the financial market, although he cannot say how much he wants, it is still very easy to get tens of billions of dollars.
This is very awesome.
Few companies can take out cash of more than 10 billion US dollars at one time. There are only a few companies in the world with such capabilities. Almost everyone knows that Apple...
Abel is actually the same now.
Others use stocks to exchange for stocks when purchasing, and then use part of cash to buy the other party's stock. Unlike his acquisitions, at present, almost all of them are smashed out with cash.
From Viacom to Paramount, from Victoria's Secret to farms over there in Colorado.
Anyway, it's just cash.
"It's nothing. In real business, Warren, you're much better." Abel shrugged and said to Buffett.
"Hahaha!" Buffett couldn't help laughing, and then said in a voice full of emotion, "I suddenly envied Mr. Adam very much. He has a good grandson like you, and the future of the Sefrosa family is now optimistic about everyone."
When it comes to his own family.
There is also the cheap grandpa who can't help but feel subconsciously disgusted and get angry if he thinks about it for a moment.
Abel declined to comment.
The original Abel Sephrosa didn't know how much he had had a fight with his grandfather. The main consciousness had disappeared for so long, and the meaning of the body would still react whenever he thought about it.
"Okay. Dear Warren, you invite me here. You won't just think about treating me to a cup of coffee and a supper. Then discuss with me about my business, right?"
Abel said to Buffett again.
"Please be a little straight. Your and my time is very precious, so there is no need to waste time here."
Seeing Abel so straightforward.
Buffett pondered for a moment.
He said softly: "There are two main things. One is mine, and the other is something that others ask me. Let me talk about my affairs first. I told you about this last time, my dear little Abel."
"uh-huh?"
"Are you really not interested in the matter of Guowei Group in China? That is, it is a super communication system that is ranked alongside Qualcomm, which has more than 1/3 of the 4G technology patents and has more than half of the 5g technology patents! And their semiconductor chip technology has entered the top 5 levels in the world in just a few years..."
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, traditional industries are indeed gradually lagging behind. In the future, these high-tech guys will really be popular with each other. 3G technology and 4G technology have gone a long way. I used to have a good investment opportunity, and Qualcomm once asked me for help, but I rejected it. Now there is a better opportunity in front of everyone, that is 5g."
"Eat Guowei Group. With half of the 5g technology in the future, whoever can successfully do this will have the initiative in the future. Everyone can't wait to start to start. This is a feast. Don't you want to get a share of the pie?"
Buffett stared at Abel with bright eyes and proposed what the two had already proposed before.
Take action against a giant across the Pacific.
It's very difficult at one time.
But if it can be successful, it will make a very profitable business action.
Chapter completed!
