Chapter 386 World-class investment master

(I finished the work, but I felt a little too passionate and the layout took a long time! Alas, when I looked at the information of Masonic, I felt it was too scary. Instead, I didn’t know how to start writing. This structure will get bigger and bigger. I am so depressed without an outline! Let me give you some recommendation votes! Thank you... Mr. President, I am just a young man full of longing for the future. My biggest specialty is writing programs and developing software! I have not studied much about other matters, but seeing the future you described by Mr. President makes me full of enthusiasm and hope for the future!”

Of course, Paul Allen is not a person with a slow brain. His communication with Wenfeng is extremely smooth. Wenfeng's description of the future has been greatly recognized by him, but he does not know that in fact, a large part of these futures may come from his own creativity. How could he disagree?

But none of these matters. What matters is that Paul Allen understands that Wen Feng said so much to him means a very obvious hint that he was unwilling to leave himself. However, because of this in-depth conversation with Wen Feng, Paul Allen has to say that the bright future is really described by Wen Feng. And they will be changers, so they will inevitably attract him. He couldn't help but stand up and his eyes flashed and said sincerely:

"If Mr. President really needs it, I am willing to follow you to see such a future. If I don't understand, I can learn... Then please tell me, Mr. President, what can I do for our group?"

"Allen, you're not just a machine that writes programs and develops software!"

Paul Allen's humble words made Wen Feng laugh and said, "Actually, I remember you are very interested in investment. I remember you were very interested in Berkshire Hathaway's stocks, and once said that its market value will increase terrifyingly in the future. Is there any such thing?"

"There is this, but... maybe it's some of my personal opinions!"

Allen opened his unbelievable eyes again. He really didn't expect that an article he published occasionally in a small financial newspaper in Manhattan would also be attracted by the literary style.

"But why didn't you buy it?"

Unfortunately, Wen Feng didn't care about him so much. He continued to ask.

"I have thought about it, but... I don't have much money, and my main career is not in that aspect!"

Paul Allen hesitated for a moment, and then looked up and said, "Sir, I thought that people could only do one thing well. If you take into account a few things at the same time, you might not do anything well! At the same time... I also feel that my thoughts seem too advanced!"

"No, Allen! You are not wrong. Although your judgment is ahead of the curve, I know that what you said is right. In fact, I have the same idea. Berkshire Hathaway focuses on investing in high-quality assets, and his controller, Mr. Buffett, has a unique vision and insists on his correct investment philosophy and is never influenced by the outside world. I believe he will finally succeed one day."

"Mr. President, are you interested in Berkshire Hathaway, or in large-scale investments in the United States, are you?"

Paul Allen's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what Wen Feng wanted to say.

"Why not? Allen, you see, we have a common goal to pursue again. Maybe we will become a very good pair of partners!"

Wen Feng laughed haha, he patted Paul Allen on the shoulder, and then made the atmosphere between the two more harmonious and said like an old friend who had known each other for a long time:

"So, Allen! Now I'm making a formal invitation to you and want to ask you to be the controller of my new investment company in Manhattan. Are you willing? I think our first investment target is Berkshire Hathaway! Of course, it will also have Microsoft, which is reorganized by Seattle Computer Company. What do you think?"

It was not until this time that Wen Feng expressed his true ambitions towards Paul Allen. He clearly wanted Paul Allen to become a super holding company that Chinese people could not take on.

As for investing in Berkshire Hathaway, Wen Feng will of course agree with Paul Allen's point of view. Thirty-three years later, someone helped Berkshire Hathaway, controlled by Bafette and Munger, to calculate the calculations. If someone invested 10,000 US dollars in the initial development stage of Berkshire Hathaway, then when its market value is at its highest, he will receive a return of more than 270 million US dollars, and it will be after tax income. What a terrible wealth this will be? Who can not be moved?

Of course, it is not the time when Berkshire Hathaway was just established, but according to Wenfeng's understanding, Berkshire Hathaway's total assets were only more than 2 billion yuan in 1980. What about thirty years later? It will become the highest-priced high-quality stock in the world. Anyone who earns such stocks will make money and count them to the point of being slim.

"What kind of company is this? How big will it be? What is his main business?"

Although Paul Allen heard Wen Feng talk about investment, he still didn't understand it all. It might be that he would never believe Wen Feng would determine his investment talent based on the article he wrote in a third-rate financial newspaper and would hand it over to him a large investment company.

"I have already said just now that it is a company with investment as its main business. That is, your task is nothing else, it is to help me find high-quality and good growth companies all over the world. We inject capital into them or acquire their stocks, so as to get huge investment returns in it!"

Paul Allen asked this question for his personality. After all, Paul Allen is not an arrogant person. Wen Feng can like him because he is honest, knows how to advance and retreat, and is a very principled person. So he said to him without reservation:

"I set up this guy company. My initial investments should not be less than US$200 million, so we will register for US$100 million. The legal representative and boss of the company will be your name. As for Microsoft's 10% shares, I will buy it back. Then you will exchange it for 15% shares in this investment company. What do you think about it, Allen?"

"No...no, the president first...sir. This...the conditions are so good. I think you have suffered too much loss. You...there is no need to give me so many shares. Besides... I don't have any investment experience. To be honest, although I yearn for this job, I don't have the confidence to do it well?"

Paul Allen was shocked. Even if Microsoft's business is developing well, its hidden market value has reached 100 million US dollars, but only 10% of his shares are only 10 million at most. However, Wen Feng is about to set up an investment company, not only let him take responsibility, but also gave him 20% of his shares, which is at least 40 million. The huge benefits made him extremely nervous.

"Sir, you... You see, you gave me a very satisfactory job opportunity. I will be grateful if I breach the contract with Microsoft first. How can I take advantage of you again? Besides... I am really worried that I can't do this well. After all, most of my previous research fields were in software development!"

Originally, Paul Allen came with the goal of quitting his job, but no matter what, Paul Allen never expected to get such a position that made him look incredible. This situation was as unreal as a gold bar in the sky. Paul Allen looked at Wen Feng in disbelief and felt that his boss, who seemed extremely smart, had taken the wrong medicine.

"Dear Allen. I'm really sorry! Maybe you will think my decision is wrong, which makes you a little overwhelmed, but you have to think about my difficulties too!"

Is Paul Allen really not suitable for investment? Is there only one world-class investment master in this world?

No, that's not the case at all!

As far as literary style knows, Paul Allen actually made a lot of investments after leaving Microsoft because he had money. In the eyes of many people, although his investment returns were not as good as Buffett, some people even said that his investment choices were too advanced and not far-sighted enough.

For example, he bought 25% of the shares of American Online in 1993, but sold them in 1995.

Although the deal made $75 million, if he waited for five more years, until Time Warner acquired AOL, a acquisition that was later called "the stupidest merger and acquisition ever" - his stake would be worth $40 billion!

For example, he foresaw the popular three-network fusion as early as the early 1990s, so he invested heavily in a cable TV company, but in the end he lost $8 billion because of his too advanced vision.

These investments that seem to be "unsuccessful" may have received a lot of criticism in the future, but in Wenfeng's eyes, it is not the case at all. After all, Paul Allen did not have any responsibility, pressure or burden in his heart at that time, so his investment psychology was different, but you must not deny his investment gaze.

What did Paul Allen think of investing in A. Online? Why did he invest in the concept of three network integration? That is because of his outstanding investment vision. If his literary style adds his future for the market for thirty-three years, is it possible that he will fail to invest? Is there really only one Buffett in this world, and only one Berkshire Hathaway can achieve a higher market value?

Wen Feng certainly does not agree with this. Since he comes from the future, why does he use such a golden finger and Paul Allen's genius mind to make a Buffett appear in this world? So when Wen Feng said this, he opened the skylight and said something bright:

"I am a Chinese. I come from a country with completely different ideologies in the East. From the root, the differences between our country now do not seem to exist with the United States. However, once my company invests in some companies with high technological content, it will inevitably be rejected by the US government. So if I really want to develop in the United States, I will definitely find a partner who I trust and is as close as a partner. You are the goal I have observed for a long time, so there will be the first move to acquire Microsoft. Can you understand this?"

Speaking of this, Wen Feng is actually a little against his will. At least he did it in his subconscious action when he acquired Microsoft. Whoever saw that gold mine couldn't help but reach out. But at this time, Wen Feng blushed a little, but he would never regret it. He was determined to cultivate a real money-making machine, so that he would never fail. He had to try all kinds of ways to tie Paul Allen to his ship... (To be continued)!~!
