Chapter 485 (1/2)
PA!
From the moment he started to swing to the moment the ball flew off the tee, Andy's eyes naturally focused on the top of the tee. The only way to know if the ball is hitting is to see if it's still there before you can see the result.
A beautiful parabola is drawn, but it's a little bit off the direction of the hole. OK, it's very off.
”You should practice your skills more...”
”Pa!”
As soon as Warren Buffett's words fell, he swung the golf ball out.
Andy with sunglasses, he can't see the change of his eyes, but Buffett can see from his shrug with the club, the young man doesn't care whether he has excellent skills or not.
”I enjoy the comfort of playing golf. That's what I think is the charm of the game. Good and bad play doesn't mean anything to me. It's just waving the club!”
Andy's mouth is full of a smile, which seems to be unintentional or meaningful. In the words, he gives the club to the caddie, and he and Buffett walk towards the golf cart not far away, taking off the white leather gloves on his left hand.
Buffett's eyes brightened, looking at Andy's face with a light smile and leisurely and cozy, looking at the young man higher. Why do many successful entrepreneurs like to play golf? Compared with other sports, golf not only contains a profound workplace philosophy, but also exudes a strong business moral.
”Why do so many successful people like to play golf? Because it is a sport that can most control Yu. Playing golf is like driving something. For the managers of an enterprise, this is the same. But for me, golf is just a kind of leisure sport. To be honest, if someone invites me to play, I will definitely refuse it. As you can see, my skills are terrible. ”
Andy sat on the golf cart, with a sunny smile and white teeth. He couldn't see the embarrassment caused by his poor skills.
Warren Buffett laughs and shakes his head. ”Your mindset is very suitable for this sport. Golf has 20% machinery and skills, and 80% philosophy, humor, romance, friendship, curse, plot and conversation. I don't like to play with people who are utilitarian and have a strong competitive mind, so I lose the fun. ”
”Ha ha, it's hard to find. How many people think of golf as a sport that can never be backward? It's a sport that can't be regretted.
Stick to 18 holes, whether it's under par or over 100, you can't regret it. Just like life, once opened, no matter good or bad, obedience or adversity, pain or sorrow, it can only move forward. Tut Tut, it's really cruel
Buffett listened to Andy's elaboration, the expression on his face became very startled, the eyes in his eyes were full of splendor, ”I like you more and more, Andy, it really surprised me, it's really a genius writer.”
”Ha ha, thank you. I'm still very happy about your praise, but Mr. Buffett, it's hard for me to believe that you asked me to just play. ”
Andy jumps out of the car and reaches for Buffett.
”Thank you.” Buffett got off the car more easily with Andy's help, and two caddies slowly followed with golf club bags on their backs.
When he stops in front of a low-lying puddle, Andy patiently waits for Buffett, who is leaning on the club to look at the target flagpole, to take the lead in saying what he wants to play today.
”In fact, there is nothing important. I want to talk with you mainly, such as the housing market, subprime mortgage, stock market...” Buffett said casually, gesturing Andy to fight first.
Andy doesn't care to stand in front of the ball, his feet are separated, and his posture is incomparable. In his opinion, it doesn't matter if he has poor skills, but he must have a beautiful posture.
”Pa!”
looked at the golf ball and dropped the parabolic line, and Andy took the rod and his feet. ”Ha ha, this one hit well, but you asked me to talk about the economy, I'm afraid it's the wrong person. I'm not really good at it. The big gamble on the property bubble is because my subordinates do a lot of data analysis and field investigation, and there is no secret. Once the supply is cut off, the fall in house prices will lead to the exposure of a lot of stupid mistakes
The conversation between Andy and Buffett is very flat and equal, and Buffett has not put on the airs of being a god of stocks or a great man. Of course, Andy will not reveal his vision of seeing through the future. When he talks with Buffett, he will have a brain first, and Andy also knows that the purpose of the old man is not so simple.
”You've made another big bet on gold and set up two private equity funds, but it's amazing to people on Wall Street.”
