Chapter 913 Finance Is Not My Strong Point
"You actually know each other?" Cynical Jason looked surprised.
As for Howard and Figo, who originally thought that Wu Tao, an outsider, had little interaction here, they were even more surprised.
Henry Paulson explained with great admiration: "We met on the Tsinghua SEM Advisory Committee, and Wu is one of the genius advisory committee members."
After the introduction, Henry continued: "If I had known that Wu was this year's rising star in the financial field in the United States, I would never have been the chairman of that committee."
"Hey~" Wu Tao's tone changed, "Henry, that's wrong. Although finance and management have something in common, they are still different. There is a lot for me to learn from seniors like you."
Henry didn't react much to giving Henry a high hat, but Jason was very happy.
In Jason's opinion, Wu Tao was giving him face.
So next, with the introduction of Henry and Jason, Wu Tao almost made a name for himself at this annual meeting.
After all, one is the former Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, and the other is the investment genius of the Morgan family. These two people go out together, who dares not to give face at the scene?
In contrast, Figo and Howard, who could only be reduced to foils, felt extremely unhappy.
To be honest, it would be a lie if they said they were not envious of Wu Tao's achievements.
Especially Howard, when ICQ's later promotion effect continued to be poor, he was so envious of Tianqi Investment's huge profit through short orders that he even turned red with envy.
One investment can generate hundreds of billions of dollars in income!
Such a scale and such a feat happened to a small and medium-sized investment company at the time. It can indeed be called a financial rookie.
So tonight, Howard and Figo also want to use Wu Tao's outsider status to do many inconvenient things, establish a relationship, and set up a relationship. If some effective information comes out, maybe they can create a miracle.
However, he died before leaving the army.
After walking around for a while, Wu Tao became familiar with Wu Tao. Before leaving Jason, he specially thanked you: "I really want to thank you for recording this interview with Intel and AMD."
Jason patted Wu Tao's shoulder carelessly, "No, you're welcome."
Returning to the circle of Molly, Panis and Wu Yingying, Wu Tao put down the goblet and said: "Panis, among these financial groups and families, which one is easier to deal with?"
Before Panis could answer, Molly stroked her chest and said, "Wu, you should ask me about this. After all, Panis himself is a member of the consortium family, and he has no idea how ordinary people feel about their relationship with the consortium family. That subtlety.”
Wu Tao thought about it and realized that this was true, and immediately asked Mo Li to answer.
Molly said with all her knowledge: "I think the Citigroup is relatively easy to contact, while the Rockefeller, Boston, and Chicago conglomerates are far behind..."
Wu Tao listened to these secret-like information and gave Wu Yingying a special look to remind her to remember it and maybe use it in the future.
Soon, the annual meeting reached a critical stage.
Some famous and senior people were invited to the stage to deliver some speeches.
Wu Tao was not prepared at all, but his name happened to be called.
As soon as they saw Wu Tao on stage, Howard and Figo, who were hiding in the corner, immediately became excited: This opportunity should not be missed.
As soon as Wu Tao came on stage, he looked around and said, "Gentlemen and ladies, actually finance is not my strong point!"
As a result, the people below suddenly laughed.
It’s really unconvincing for a man who has earned hundreds of billions of dollars to admit himself like this.
So this sentence was directly regarded as humorous by the people below. Everyone applauded and said: Full marks to you for this bitch!
"In that case, let me talk about my views and thoughts on the development of the Internet industry."
"...I believe that the current Internet winter is just a normal reaction to overheated early investment. But in the long run, the Internet industry will still be an important factor in triggering the next generation of technological revolution."
"...The Nasdaq index has fallen to the historical freezing point, but I might as well boldly predict that in as short as two years or as long as three years, the Nasdaq index will return to the normal track."
"...The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. In the Internet industry, the importance of financial capital is self-evident. Therefore, temporary setbacks should not blind our bright eyes based on the long term."
Because it was an impromptu speech in English, Wu Tao's speaking was a bit stumbling. But this still does not prevent its content from bringing shock and novelty to everyone.
Soros and Buffett stood together with pride on their faces, "Warren, given time, the achievements of this Huaxia Wu will probably be greater than yours and mine."
"George, I admit that this is a possibility. But it is not that easy to reach the heights of consortiums and established families. At least so far, Wu's development has been too smooth, which is actually not a good thing..."
On the way back to Irvine, Molly remembered what Wu Tao said at today's meeting and couldn't help but ask: "Dear Wu, since you said that finance is not your strong point, what exactly is your strong point?"
Wu Tao thought: "Maybe I should start a business and start a company."
Early the next morning, after finishing his trip to the annual meeting, Wu Tao embarked on his return journey.
When Wu Yingying made a special trip to see her off, Wu Tao took the time to assign her the next stage of tasks.
Now that the Nasdaq stock market is about to hit bottom, the financial asset allocation plan of the Los Angeles branch of Tianqi Investment should be put back on the agenda.
It’s time to buy back the quality blue-chip stocks that you sold off before the big crash.
Wu Tao returned to China.
But his speech at the annual meeting impressed many people and inspired them.
Howard and Figo got together and repeatedly speculated and analyzed the content of his speech, but in the end they did not come up with any valuable information.
"Figo, maybe he won't say it at all, or he doesn't know." Howard said frustratedly.
Figo stood up and said with emotion: "In fact, there are not many good opportunities like that. Once lost, it will be difficult to encounter again."
Howard's heart moved, "Figo, maybe you should ask Panis about it, maybe you can gain something."
This is an idea. Figo frowned and nodded: "I'll give it a try."
After sending Figo away, Howard saw the latest evaluation report on icq on the table and compared it with Facebook's continued performance in the past six months. The more he thought about it, the more he felt suffocated.
They are all promising Internet products, so how come others can play them successfully, but why do I have to be so mentally and physically exhausted?
Is that statement true? Finance is indeed not his strong point. His strength is making Internet products? !
The more Howard thought about it, the more it seemed possible. Looking back, his enthusiasm for icq gradually cooled down.
