When sitting on the rostrum and solemnly signing his name on the investment agreement with the attention of a large number of media, John couldn't help but look back and Feng Yiping, who was standing behind him, gave him an encouragement smile.

John felt warm again.

Next to him, Raulder's deputy, Goldman Sachs co-president and chief operating officer Gary Cohen had put down his pen and stood up, holding an agreement to reach out to him.

Suddenly, applause rang out on and off the stage, and the flashes kept flashing. John was a little dizzy and exchanged agreements with Cohen and shook hands.

He knew that even years later, he would definitely think of this scene, because from this moment on, it was the first time he had been widely recognized by the public. The title of "King of Funds" that was circulated in Wall Street before will definitely be more widely known.

Although he was a little bit unfair and was pushed out by his boss, John knew that no matter what, this moment was his peak!

Feng Yiping also applauded carefully. It was not easy to be so smooth!

This time is really great.

If I wanted to invest in Goldman Sachs in normal times, how could it be so easy?

Even Goldman Sachs agrees that other companies on Wall Street will probably find ways to destroy them.

At least, they would not quietly look at Feng Yiping and Goldman Sachs' union. There are all companies on Wall Street that are considered one by one, and they are all shameful.

Bear Stearns sold his body, Lehman went bankrupt, Goldman Sachs made great efforts, and other companies must not be idle among them.

The creed on this street is that if no one falls around you, then you are not strong enough.

Feng Yiping disagrees with such ruthlessness and extreme self-interest concepts, but he appreciates them some, at least, he hopes that he can have enough understanding of it - in case someone uses such means to deal with him.

Therefore, he led to this investment.

In addition, the reason why I invested in Goldman Sachs instead of other financial institutions is also because I am attracted by Goldman Sachs' influence.

Executives on Wall Street have always had the habit of taking office, but among them, the most senior executives have emerged from Goldman Sachs and the most successful.

I won’t talk about the United States. Now there is not only the Treasury Department of Goldman Sachs and the White House of Goldman Sachs. It means that Canada next door, Mark Carney, who is in charge of the Bank of Canada, has worked at Goldman Sachs for 13 years.

In Europe, Mario Draghi, the head of the Italian central bank, is the former vice president of Goldman Sachs.

Now the president of the World Bank, Robert Zoellick, with a mustache, is not only familiar to the domestic people, but also has a lot of dealings with us as the U.S. Trade Representative and the Deputy Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, and his impression of us is also positive. Before becoming the president of the World Bank on July 1 last year, he also worked at Goldman Sachs and served as the international vice president...

Feng Yiping is very confident that in the future, there will still be executives working for Goldman Sachs now, who will hold important positions in the United States, other countries and international institutions, and will generally be senior officials in the financial sector.

Similarly, there will be former government officials like Zoellick who come to Goldman Sachs to serve as executives.

Therefore, as a shareholder and a member of Goldman Sachs, he can naturally use these connections.

Not to mention it at home, when you go abroad, you reach a certain level and don’t manage such a relationship, you are a fool.

What's more, from the perspective of business and investment, investing in Goldman Sachs is definitely a very cost-effective deal. He estimated that in the end, at least the return will exceed 60.

Raulder, who was applauding beside him, also smiled on his face at this time. However, from the words he took the opportunity to say in Feng Yiping's ear, it was obvious that he was not as happy as he was on his face.

His words were, "Take all the advantages!"

When Feng Yiping heard this, his smile became even brighter, "It's all agreed, aren't it?" He also said in Raulder's ear.

The reason why Raulder is still a little angry is related to the $5 billion option.

Goldman Sachs' current stock price is US$125. They originally planned to be US$120 for the 5 billion option, but after some discussion, or debate, Feng Yiping successfully reduced the price by another US$5 to US$115 per share.

This means that Feng Yiping has the warrant to purchase 43.5 million Goldman Sachs common stock at a price of US$115 when the stock price is appropriate in the future - when it rises relatively high.

Not to mention the future, even now, if Feng Yiping chooses to exercise his rights, he can earn $10 per share, so he can easily earn $43.5 billion.

If you don’t pay a penny, you can cash out $43.5 billion now - this is a transaction that was made at the beginning.

When all three major banks in China will hand over large tuition fees, Feng Yiping was a little happy and proud of himself for reaching such a deal.

I will help you win back the situation you lost.

However, Raulder's appearance was deliberately for Feng Yiping to show, so he was so so clever that he didn't even have his hair. Paulson hadn't had much hair before, and Raulder now had no much hair. Cohen in front, Raulder's deputy, although he was tall and strong, still had no much hair. How could they agree to an unfavorable investment?

Otherwise, they would not have arranged so many activities for this investment.

Although they can get 5 billion US dollars of liquidity, more importantly, through Feng Yiping's investment, investors can regain their confidence in Goldman Sachs. This ICBC introduced them as strategic investors in the past to hope that overseas investors can have confidence in them through Goldman Sachs. This is a truth.

What's more, United Fund will have a seat on Goldman Sachs' board of directors - everyone knows that that seat actually belongs to Feng Yiping, which means Feng Yiping's wholehearted optimism about Goldman Sachs.

So from this perspective, the focus of this investment is on Goldman Sachs' future, which naturally does not lie in the amount or temporary returns.

…………

The reporters followed the head of Goldman Sachs' public relations department. Feng Yiping and John and others walked side by side towards the conference room with Raulder. From now on, they will be certified partners.

A young man walked over quickly and said to Raulder, "The stock market rebounded overall,"

He looked at Feng Yiping with some caution, "Our stock price has risen by 26 and is still rising,"

Feng Yiping glanced at John. The overall rebound of the stock market was of course not the agreement they signed, but because the US Securities and Exchange Commission, following the UK, announced a temporary ban on short selling of financial stocks.

But the rise in Goldman Sachs' stock price is of course directly related to the agreement I just signed.

Raulder smiled and held Feng Yiping's hand, "Feng, look, it's very effective, so, in the next interview, we look forward to you doing better,"

Feng Yiping shook his hand away, "You are the chairman of the board, of course you have the final say,"

"Haha, Feng, you're kidding. I'm asking you," Rauld pulled Feng Yiping into his office and locked the rest outside the door. "As your own person and as a friend, I think you may be interested in this news that I know."

Feng Yiping blinked, how could you be so good?

Raulder lowered his voice, "I know, your sovereign fund is talking to Morgan Stanley about the investment, but both parties are currently stuck on the price," he said.

Feng Yiping knew this situation.

He also knew that the investment between China Investment and Morgan Stanley has not been discussed yet. The main reason is that China Investment has almost fallen into a big trap at the end of last year, so China Investment is particularly petty this time, and the conditions for investing in Morgan Stanley are quite harsh.

"I know this too," he looked at Raulder. What do you want to say to me, mysterious?

"But you may not know that at the same time, Mai Jinheng is still quietly in contact with other institutions," said Raulder.

Feng Yiping became serious all of a sudden. Is there such a thing?

Morgan Stanley also has a wide influence around the world, and their current stock price is at its lowest point in history. If China Investment Corporation can successfully invest in Morgan Stanley at this time, it would be a very good deal.

If someone pried away, it would be a pity.

"As far as we know, the third party Mai Jinheng secretly contacted was Mitsubishi,"

Feng Yiping couldn't figure out why Raulder told him this. He always felt that this guy wouldn't be so kind, but his intuition told him that at least the news provided by Raulder should be true.

The phone rang, and he saw it, oh, what a coincidence, Teacher Zhou.
