v3 Chapter 778: Buffetts helplessness (1/2)
Although he had learned about Xia Yu's information from the materials before he came, Buffett was still inevitably shocked by seeing Xia Yu's young appearance.
However, he is already fifty years old, and he can hide his true thoughts well.
With a kind smile on his face, he said, ”Mr. Xia, I take the liberty to interrupt this time. It may take some time for you.”
Xia Yu smiled and shook his head: ”Mr. Buffett is polite. Actually, I wanted to contact you a long time ago and learn from you some investment experience. It's just that the company has just established a branch on Wall Street during this period, so there are more things.
Buffy said: ”I can understand that the initial stage of the company is the busiest.”
”Mr. Buffett, your coffee!”
”Thank you!”
Xia Yu took a sip, put down the cup, and calmly looked at Buffett and said: ”Mr. Buffett, I have heard of your reputation a long time ago. You are a very investment-minded investment master, Berkshire. Saver was just a textile factory on the verge of bankruptcy, but in your hands, it turned around perfectly and became a dynamic financial company, which is extremely rare on Wall Street!”
Buffett smiled and seemed to notice Xia Yu's attitude. He humbly said: ”No, there are many accidental factors in my success. Several times my company almost went bankrupt. It was just that someone happened to help or was lucky.”
Xia Yu smiled, skipped this boring topic, and suddenly said: ”Mr. Buffett, you are here this time to ask why we suddenly bought shares in Berkshire Hathaway?”
Buffett didn't expect Xia Yu to take the initiative to say this. This could not help disrupting the scene he had originally expected. He suppressed the fluctuations in his heart, looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, nodded and said, ”Yes!”
Xia Yu smiled and said: ”I have just said that because I am very optimistic about your investment philosophy. I believe that under your management, Berkshire Hathaway will develop very well. It just so happens that I also want to talk to you. Make a friend, so use this way to show your support and recognition!”
”I'm sorry, it seems to have caused you trouble.”
Buffett raised his brow, he didn't expect Xia Yu to say that.
He stared at Xia Yu directly, as if he wanted to confirm the authenticity of Xia Yu's words. Xia Yu smiled lightly and looked at Buffett calmly.
A few seconds later, Buffett smiled brightly and said: ”It turns out that it is. Thank you Mr. Xia for your approval. This is my honor. I am very happy to be friends with you!”
...
”Mr. Xia, can I know how many shares Polaris Capital has purchased now?”
Xia Yu did not report the purchased shares to the NYSE in time, so Buffett did not know that Polaris Capital already held 5.1% of the shares and it was normal.
Xia Yu didn't hide it, and said frankly: ”Mr. Buffett, now our company already holds 5.1% of the equity.”
Buffett's eyes condensed, and he said with a smile: ”It seems that there will be an important director in my company. This is really a happy thing.”
After laughing, Buffett suddenly asked: ”Mr. Xia, can I know how many stocks you plan to buy?”
After speaking, Buffett stared at Xia Yu closely.
Xia Yu smiled indifferently, thought about it and said slowly: ”Mr. Buffett, please rest assured that I am friendly to you, so I can tell you our company's plan. The original plan was to buy Berkshire Ha With a total of 10% of Saway’s equity, the plan remains unchanged.”
Buffett's expression suddenly eased, and he didn't know if he believed Xia Yu's words, he smiled and said, ”Is that so, then I'm relieved.”
Then, he laughed at himself and said: ”Mr. Xia, let you see the joke. To tell you, I do have some fears about Polaris Capital. After all, your company is strong and fully capable of acquiring our company. Kirill Hathaway is the most important part of my life, so I have to be nervous.”
Xia Yu nodded and smiled: ”I can understand. I'm sorry that our sudden behavior caused you trouble.”
”I believe that in the future we will get along very happily.”
”Before coming, I still had concerns, but now, I am completely relieved, and wish us a happy future cooperation!”
After letting go of the worries in his heart, Buffett was in a good mood. He seemed to want to learn more about his upcoming partners. He and Xia Yu continued to chat for a while, and then invited Xia Yu to play golf the next day. Xia Yu readily agreed.
The next morning, the United States National Golf Links Course.
Xia Yu was dressed in sportswear, and saw Buffett waiting at the gate of the court. After a short greeting, the two entered the court and played golf.
Although Xia Yu was young, his skillful golfing skills surprised Buffett and praised Xia Yu's superb skills.
Playing golf, chatting about the latest news of the New York financial market, or discussing the financial situation in the United States.
No matter what topic it was, Xia Yu could talk about it, it seemed that there was nothing he didn't know.
After playing for a long time, it seemed that he was a little tired, and Buffett suggested going to the side to rest for a while.
The two leaned on comfortable recliners, and the soft sunlight poured down from the blue sky, and the shining person was warm, the breeze blew, and the fragrance of the grass came.
”Mr. Xia, I don't know what you think about the insurance industry?”
