Chapter 1002 The Game Is Far From Stud

The smooth listing of the two companies has not only brought a stimulating impact to the U.S. economy, but also brought about a turn for the better for other Chinese Internet companies active on the Nasdaq stock market.

NetEase, Sohu and Sina, which fell below the issue price on the day of issuance, all experienced sustained daily limits for the first time after a long period of decline.

Seeing that the goal of the trip to the United States has been achieved, Wu Tao's return to China has also been put on the agenda.

Before leaving, I made a special trip to the Los Angeles branch of Tianqi Investment and had a long chat with Wu Yingying.

Wu Yingying feels very lucky.

After graduating from Waseda University, then working on Wall Street, and reaching this point today, she has been far beyond her peers.

Not to mention her personal wealth and achievements, at least the reputation she has accumulated on Wall Street in the United States and even in the financial circle is enough for her to use for the rest of her life.

And all of this, in addition to relying on her own efforts, also relied on the boss in front of her who gave her generous suggestions.

Therefore, Wu Yingying cherished this opportunity of face-to-face teaching. She directly rejected all appointments and arrangements and focused on this opportunity.

"Boss, I don't understand. With the continued promotion of Qianqianjingting and Tianxing Games, Nasdaq has now shown obvious signs of recovery. Why did we try our best to short airline stocks before the two companies went public?"

"...Because according to the predictions of the company's evaluators, as Internet companies are high-tech stocks, their recovery will be accompanied by a recovery in the popularity of traditional industries. This is a chain reaction."

Wu Tao nodded, "You are right. But my bearish view on airline stocks depends on my sense of the international political situation. Of course, there are many personal subjective factors, but you should also pay attention to it from time to time."

Wu Yingying was immediately stunned.

To the extent that finance can be linked to politics, that is a proper boss level.

"Boss, I will study hard."

Seeing that she was taking it very seriously, Wu Tao added, "Of course, these are just reference factors, and they should be grasped appropriately..."

The two finished talking about the main topic, and Wu Tao saw many invitations from famous business schools piled on Wu Yingying's table.

"It seems you are very popular now!"

Listening to Wu Tao's praise, Wu Yingying didn't dare to blame her, "Aren't these all thanks to you, boss?"

"Okay, you performed well, and I'm very happy too." Wu Tao was very honest, "But I won't accept the recent invitation from New York for the time being, and you should focus on following up on the matter of shorting airline stocks."

"I understand, boss."

After leaving the Los Angeles branch, Wu Tao returned to his Irvine villa.

The flight leaves early tomorrow morning, and the remaining half day can be regarded as a half-day of leisure.

As a result, just halfway through the motorcade, she suddenly received a call from Molly, saying that her grandfather wanted to see her.

Wu Tao thought for a moment, then decisively patted the back of the front seat and said: "Uncle Zhuang, turn around and go back to Quantum Trust."

Although Soros's meeting this time was a bit unexpected, it is not surprising after his two companies have shown such strong market potential.

What's more, recently, both Molly's Quantum Trust and Parnis's Morgan AsiaInfo are intensively preparing for the second cross-shareholding in October.

When he arrived at Quantum Trust, Soros was there with many of his think tank members.

The formation is really not small.

But Molly, who was arrogant outside, was acting like a good girl by her grandfather's side, saying nothing.

Even eye contact with Wu Tao stopped.

After the two parties exchanged greetings, Soros invited everyone else out.

In the huge conference room, only Wu Tao and Soros were left, as well as two cups of steaming, fragrant coffee.

As a result, the specific content and results of this interview led to many speculations and even many versions.

When talking to foreigners, especially when it comes to serious matters, I can’t even eat.

A cup of coffee would be nice right now.

The coffee was steaming, Soros didn't speak, and Wu Tao wouldn't speak first.

Until the old man Soros blew his coffee leisurely, then took a sip and said, "Your recent performance has once again refreshed my expectations for you."

"Thank you." Wu Tao expressed his gratitude in a neither humble nor condescending manner.

Then Soros stopped talking and went directly to the topic: "I noticed that you, Molly, Panis and the female president of the Mitsui Consortium have started cross-shareholdings based on the strategic cooperation framework. plan."

Then Soros folded his hands and said: "This is very interesting!"

Wu Tao smiled and said nothing.

Soros continued: "I think you want to use this plan just to gradually realize your right to speak among the four forces, so as to achieve control and influence over the industries and companies under the four forces."

Wu Tao stopped laughing, this damn boss is the boss.

His little thoughts and little actions are clearly seen by others.

"Now, I have a bold proposal that will allow you to quickly achieve this goal..."

It sounded tempting, but Wu Tao remained indifferent.

Soros shrugged and said frankly: "Of course, the only condition is that this goal is achieved by you and our Quantum Fund, and both parties have equal say..."

Upon hearing this, Wu Tao expressed his position directly, "Mr. Soros, I am very grateful for your proposal. But with all due respect, this result is not the goal I want."

"So you still want to get your own right to speak, don't you?" Soros further confirmed, with an aggressive and sharp look on his face.

Wu Tao suddenly thought, if he continues to refuse, will Molly and her Quantum Trust be directly eliminated from the four-party strategic cooperation?

So he took a deep breath and said decisively: "Yes, I must get my right to speak."

“But if Quantum Fund fully cooperates with you, you will move this forward faster and reach that goal and impact faster, right?”

Wu Tao did not answer directly, but made an analogy: "Mr. Soros, this game is like a card game. And the situation in my hand is very good, but you come to suggest that I stud at this time, do you think I Is it necessary to consider it?”

These words seemed a bit fierce because of the clear attitude.

Soros took a sip of coffee, with no expression on his wise face.

Wu Tao twirled the coffee cup subconsciously, showing that he was a little worried about losing Molly as a partner.

It wasn't until he finished a cup of coffee that Soros spoke again: "I hope you won't regret your current choice in the future!"

Wu Tao smiled slightly and said, "I will work hard."

"In this case," Soros stood up and stretched out his hand towards Wu Tao, "then I wish you and Molly that your cooperation can continue happily."

"Thank you!" Wu Tao relaxed, finally there was no bad result.

An update today.
