Chapter 2759 New Dream
Feng Yiping did not directly answer the questions about Buffett raised by the fast-talking Bartiromo.
Reporters would inevitably ask such attention-grabbing questions, but he had just invested in Goldman Sachs, so he had to care about the face of his partner, and it was difficult to talk about the little tricks they did behind the scenes.
What's more, the final result is that you win.
"The choice to invest at this time and to invest in Goldman Sachs is mainly based on our understanding of each other during many years of cooperation. We believe that such cooperation will be beneficial to our future,"
"I chose this time because the price and terms are right at this time, so cooperation will naturally come naturally,"
Bartiromo nodded, "You are very optimistic about Goldman Sachs, and Goldman Sachs is also very optimistic about you?"
Feng Yiping smiled, "Although saying this may sound like flattering each other, it is true. I am optimistic about Goldman Sachs and I trust their management team."
Lord, are you watching secretly? Be satisfied!
Bartiromo was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yiping's avoidance. She wanted to try harder, "Goldman Sachs finally chose to cooperate with you instead of Buffett. Feng, what do you think is the reason?"
Those people at Jiaqiang next to me feel a little bit unbearable. Feng didn’t know that we were also in contact with Buffett at the same time, so can you stop dwelling on this issue?
Feng Yiping is not easy to answer this question.
No matter how you answer directly, there will always be a distinction between superior and inferior, which may make the long-famous stock god unhappy - it may not matter to ordinary people when Buffett says this, but if Feng Yiping says so, then he probably does.
Although he is just unhappy, that's okay, but why bother with such rhetoric?
There is another way, which is a more humble way, such as the humility of seniors, a moment of luck and so on.
But frankly speaking, when facing a group now, he is willing to show his humility, but on such personal and personal issues, he usually really doesn't want to say that.
"I think maybe it's because I'm more focused?" he replied half-jokingly. "As far as I know, Buffett has many choices now, and I talked to Goldman Sachs."
Bartiromo's evaluation of Feng Yiping was a little higher. He was worthy of Feng Yiping. Such an answer was not only interesting, but also impossible to fault at all.
"You've always been so single-minded, haven't you," Bartiromo also joked.
"It can also be said to be concentration," Feng Yiping glanced out the window.
In this thunderstorm season, he dare not say that he is single-minded.
It seems that quite a few people in the United States are struck by lightning every year.
An aniseed that he had carefully prepared was unloaded so easily by Feng Yiping. Bartiromo was a little discouraged, because next, there would be some more conventional questions, and there wouldn't be many surprises.
"We all know that you are the most successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. Generally speaking, the connection between Silicon Valley and Wall Street is mainly for other purposes, such as attracting investment, conducting mergers and acquisitions, IPO, etc.,"
"This investment from United Fund can be said to be the first time that a Silicon Valley entrepreneur has invested in a Wall Street company or a well-known company like Goldman Sachs. Does this mean that you will have more financial plans in the future? "
"You asked a very good question," Feng Yiping said.
Bartiromo smiled, and I doubted it.
Because of this question, I just asked it once, but you didn't answer.
"Miss Bartiromo, I want to..."
"Please call me Maria,"
"Okay Maria, I think you must also know that Wall Street has actually been ahead of many industries in the use of high technology, such as the use of supercomputers, transaction automation, etc."
"But from the perspective of Silicon Valley, we feel that there are still many aspects that can be innovated. Through the Internet, we should make the financial system better and prevent similar crises from happening again,"
“Currently we don’t know how much this crisis will cost us, nor do we know whether we can withstand another similar crisis, so we hope to use Silicon Valley’s technology and methods to improve the world’s financial technology. level, thereby minimizing the chance of similar crises occurring,"
"In other words, do you want to change the financial world?" Bartiromo asked another very pointed question.
"We want to make the world a better place, which naturally includes making the financial industry better. Judging from our investment, I think Wall Street also welcomes this," Feng Yiping said calmly. .
The relationship between Silicon Valley and Wall Street is not harmonious to begin with. How could I say something that could easily lead to confrontation?
Lauder pouted in the office. When we were talking about investment, when did you mention using Silicon Valley technology to make the financial world better? You only care about the return on your investment.
Faced with Feng Yiping's impeccable answer, Bartiromo felt that he really didn't look like a 28-year-old young man, but she was not an ordinary person either, so she continued to inquire, "Currently, where do you plan to start?" Such changes and improvements?”
She just wanted to know whether Feng Yiping was just telling a cliché or if he really had a plan.
“Currently we have many ideas. For example, we hope to promote better changes in the financial management business in the financial industry. We hope that in the future, we can enable more people to enjoy better financial management with lower thresholds and lower fees. Serve,"
"We also hope to solve the problem of personal borrowing difficulties to a certain extent and build a platform that provides investment and analysis services for institutional investors and borrowers,"
"We also hope to help users find the cheapest loan, the highest savings interest rate or the best customer service among thousands of banks based on their preferences..."
"The above are the plans we have temporarily thought of to bring a better experience to individual users," Feng Yiping easily counted out many of them at once.
"We also have many plans for enterprise users. For example, we hope to find talented traders based on our algorithms to create better benefits for enterprises,"
"We also hope to simplify the existing M&A process, preferably by automatically matching some suitable transaction partners, like..."
"It's like Facebook," Bartiromo said.
Feng Yiping smiled, "I would also like to describe it this way, creating a Facebook where all users are companies,"
"And, a Facebook primarily for investors,"
"We also hope to provide corporate users with comprehensive and better financial services in terms of detecting insider trading, protecting online payments, etc.,"
"Our ultimate goal is to make all financial services smarter and more transparent. At the same time, they can all be concentrated into one APP and inserted into our smartphones," Feng Yiping said. His cell phone shook.
Bartiromo really couldn't close his legs, ah, no, he couldn't close his mouth.
She has interviewed many wealthy politicians, heroes and geniuses, but this is the first time that Feng Yiping spoke to her so nervously during the interview.
She is successful in Wall Street. She does not just rely on her beauty. She is actually a financial expert. She has never heard of most of the plans Feng Yiping just mentioned before. Considering Feng Yiping's identity , that are obviously all original.
Bartiromo analyzed it as a financial expert and these original plans sounded very promising.
Ordinary sea clams can only produce one pearl. He could casually take out a string of pearl necklaces from his belly, and the pearls were full and shiny.
Is this Feng Yiping?
"This is really an impressive plan and a very exciting prospect." She transitioned in two sentences and sorted out her mood. "So, before doing this, can you tell me what's right?" What lessons should we learn from this crisis?
Feng Yiping put the phone back into his pocket with a little regret. It seems that you didn't notice the uniqueness of the phone I'm holding.
This will be the first Android smartphone on the market. Honey, why are you so insensitive?
However, I can't be too blunt about placing advertisements, so I still have to take my face into consideration.
"Maria, have you seen Will Smith's "The Great Love"?"
Maria Bartiromo was stunned again. You couldn't possibly want to invite me to watch a movie, right? "I've seen it,"
"I was deeply impressed by a plot in the film, that is, the company that originally provided financial management for female stars should serve the female stars, rather than the other way around, using words that are difficult for ordinary people to understand while trying to appear sophisticated and professional. , let big clients like that female star comply with their wishes,"
Bartiromo had already roughly recalled the outline of the movie. After hearing what he said, he really didn't know what to say.
In that movie, only this plot impressed you?
So is this why you don't show any pretense to me?
Thinking about it this way, she felt much better. It's not that I'm not good enough, it's that you, an uninteresting guy, can't appreciate my excellence. "You're right,"
"This is my understanding of the causes of this crisis. We can name many reasons for the formation of this crisis, such as the regulation of derivatives, excessive leverage, and Wall Street's greed..."
“But I think the most important thing is that financial institutions, which originally serve all of us, use some complex models that may not even be clear to them themselves, as well as some simple but equally possible models. Even they themselves can’t pronounce the abbreviation clearly, which in turn allows all users to follow their rhythm,”
"Many financial institutions and financial practitioners have actually deviated from their mission, and users have become their profit-making tools and pawns,"
“So I think how to get them back on track and make them, like companies and practitioners in all other industries, put the interests of users first, rather than the interests of themselves and the company, is what we need to do urgently. "
"At the same time, I also have some personal experiences that I would like to share with you. When the public speeches of the heads of financial institutions include more and more abbreviations that we are not sure about, when your financial manager recommends to you When new products and agreements become thicker and thicker, we should be vigilant,"
"The situation may have reached a more serious stage again, and the new products he is trying so hard to promote may have problems of one kind or another,"
…………
"Feng, thank you very much for accepting my interview. I want to say..." Bartiromo was still expressing his gratitude to Feng Yiping, saying goodbye without saying goodbye. Lauder hurried over, looking like a man. The cat who only smelled fishy smell, "Sorry Maria,"
He took Feng Yiping and walked away, "Feng, we have to talk, right now,"
"About the plans I just talked about, right?" Feng Yiping smiled.
"Yes, I'm thinking about how to implement your plans," Raul pulled Feng Yiping towards the office, "Feng, Goldman Sachs and I are very grateful for your comprehensive plan,"
So the situation changed, this time, it was Bartiromo's turn to stand there, watching Feng Yiping and Raul walk away side by side.
"I should have thought of this earlier. In your previous cooperation, you prepared similar plans for your partners," Raul was very enthusiastic at this time, even more enthusiastic than when he received Feng Yiping's check.
Feng Yiping took the water he handed over with a smile, "Raul, you should also know that these plans of mine are not prepared for Goldman Sachs,"
