Chapter 416: Warren Buffett's Phone Call
This call is from a number starting with +1701.
"Beautiful country!" Ye Qiusheng muttered while holding the phone.
But he has no friends or relatives in the beautiful country. He does have a few classmates, both from high school and university, but their relationship is average, and they have not been in touch since they went abroad.
Curiously connected to the phone.
"Is that Mr. Ye Qiusheng?" A soft and pleasant female voice came from the opposite side, speaking in authentic Chinese, similar to standard Chinese.
"I'm Ye Qiusheng, are you?" He asked back.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, I am the Chinese assistant of Mr. Warren Buffett, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Financial Investment Company. Mr. Buffett admires Mr. Ye very much and wants to talk to you directly. I wonder if Mr. Ye has time .” The woman on the other side of the phone said respectfully, her voice was still so nice and crisp.
"Wait, wait, I don't understand, is the Buffett you're talking about the Buffett who is known as the stock god?"
Ye Qiusheng doesn't know what Berkshire. Hathaway Investment Company does not know that Buffett's full name is Warren. Buffett, but he knows that the stock god is nearly 90 years old, and he is also the third in the "2018 Forbes Global Rich List" released in April 2018, with a worth of 84 billion US dollars.
"Yes, Mr. Ye, do you have time to talk to our president on the phone?"
Ye Qiusheng pondered for a while and said, "It is possible, but does he speak Chinese well?"
He couldn't refuse the request of a world-famous old man.
And it’s no big deal if you just chat with him about the international financial situation, but he also found a very dangerous signal from Buffett’s unsolicited call, that his studio or he has been exposed.
It is also very likely that central banks and financial circles around the world are aware of his existence.
Has he become famous in the international financial circle?
This is dangerous, but it can also be considered as an extra protective armor.
The richest man in the world is welcome everywhere, but it is very possible that some countries that hold grudges will use black means in private.
Danger is ever present.
"It seems that I can only stay in the country in the future. Unless I am invited by a certain country for an official visit, with diplomatic immunity and state protection, I will not go anywhere." He thought to himself.
"Mr. Ye, you don't have to worry about this, I can translate for you in the center, I
I have lived and studied in China for fifteen years. "The woman said proudly.
"Well, now is the time." Ye Qiusheng agreed.
He also wants to hear what Buffett wants to tell him?
"Mr. Ye, our president is nearby, we can talk now." The woman said.
"That's ok, let Mr. Buffett answer the phone."
"Mr. Ye Qiusheng, it is my honor to speak with you."
A few seconds later, an old voice came from the phone, speaking in English. Ye Qiusheng got a rough idea, but after being translated by the female Chinese assistant, it became the sentence pattern above.
Very Chinese style, but the overall meaning is similar.
(The following are the dialogues after Chinese culture through the female translator)
"Mr. Buffett is polite."
"No, no, you deserve my respect."
It is conceivable that Buffett must shake his head like a rattle.
"Mr. Buffett, I am honored to be able to talk with you. However, I would like to know how Mr. Buffett obtained my mobile phone number, because it is very difficult for me to obtain Mr. Buffett's mobile phone number."
Actually, what he meant was how do you know me?
But he also knew there was no answer.
"Haha." Buffett laughed, appearing to be very emotional, "Mr. Ye, I am dissatisfied with you, I have many good friends in Huag."
"Is it the people who used to have lunch with you?" Ye Qiusheng teased.
Now his US dollar assets are nearly ten times that of Buffett, so he doesn't have much respect for Buffett's great achievements. What he respects is his age and experience.
He is a good young man who respects the old and loves the young!
"So is Mr. Ye interested in having lunch or dinner with us?"
Buffett is always treacherous and slippery. He did not directly answer Ye Qiusheng's words, but took the opportunity to send out an invitation.
"Maybe not for the time being, I still have a lot of things to deal with in China." Ye Qiusheng refused.
He's not interested in having dinner with an old man.
If you compare him with Buffett's achievements in the financial world, the auction price for a lunch with him should be more than 10 million US dollars.
Thinking about it, he was happy.
"Mr. Ye doesn't have time to come to Piaoguo. I can go to Huag, as long as Mr. Ye doesn't refuse. Mr. Ye, have you been staying in Kyoto all this time?"
"No, I will return to my hometown Fengjing on the 5th, and I will stay in Fengjing for three to three days.
Five days, does Mr. Buffett know Fengjing? "
When the old man mentioned this, Ye Qiusheng could no longer refuse.
This is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation rooted deep in the brain. Biqu library
Warm hospitality, good wine when friends come, shotguns when enemies come.
Buffett was his guest before showing hostility.
"After learning about Mr. Ye's brilliant achievements, I paid special attention to your hometown Fengjing City. I need to know how a great city has created such a great person as Mr. Ye. I learned that it is a city with 2,300 square meters. A great city with many years of civilized history, not only Mr. Ye would be proud of it, but I was also deeply shocked by its former glory."
This old man is very good at talking.
The female translator is also good, using three "great" and two "brilliant".
"Thank you for your praise of my hometown." That's all Ye Qiusheng could say.
"The praise for it is well deserved, Mr. Ye, can I have dinner with you in Fengjing?" Buffett proposed the invitation again.
This time Ye Qiusheng couldn't refuse.
"I look forward to meeting you very much." Ye Qiusheng responded.
"Okay, I will book the nearest flight and wait for you in Fengjing City." Buffett laughed again after speaking, looking very happy.
"Okay, Mr. Buffett, please tell me your arrival time and flight number, and I will give you the grandest welcome."
"thanks,……"
After hanging up Buffett's call, the smile on Ye Qiusheng's face disappeared instantly.
"Who gave away my cell phone number?"
"How did Buffett get my information?"
He couldn't find the answer to the first question, but the second question undoubtedly came from himself, because he didn't hide well enough, and the studio or offshore fund company was exposed.
Jiang Weitai didn't have the motive of betraying himself, but the other traders in the studio might not? They had many opportunities during the trip to Dongguan, and the hotel under closed management was also full of loopholes.
"Time to break up the studio!" he thought.
Back at the desk, picked up the confidential mobile phone on the table, after thinking about it, he still dialed Chief Chai.
The ringer rang twice, and Secretary Yu picked it up.
"Colonel, please speak."
"Let the radical answer the phone and report something important to him."
"Hold on."
Dozens of seconds later, the voice of Chai Radical came over, "Xiaoye, what's the matter?"
