Chapter 417 What a statement

This rare Buffett lunch finally began to heat up because of the topic of charity, and the conversation was not limited to charity, and then expanded to many fields. Rich people at Buffett's age like to spend real money in the field of life and medicine. The old man who is said to be the smartest in the world's financial field is no exception. He mentioned some of his scientific research projects in Canada and still sighed. No matter how much people can see through the world, they will feel that a youthful and healthy life is the most precious at this age, not to mention that this kind of rich man is the richest man envied by the world.

Cheng Shuixin holds a notebook in her hand and remembers what Buffett said from time to time. In Buffett's view, this kind of behavior is understandable. Every investor wants to get advice from himself. If there is a young and beautiful little girl who is willing to write down what he said, he is certainly happy.

Several people gradually talked about the current high-tech industry from the medical field. Buffett actually has more say in this regard, and his friend is the world's most famous technology spokesperson. But the old man also showed caution about the changes in this era.

"I think Microsoft is going downhill now."

Of course, this is not only Buffett's own conclusion, but also a common view in the whole field of science and technology. Although Microsoft's operating system status has not been strongly threatened, the company has begun to perform as gratifyingly in the browser market.

Various small technology companies, various Internet startup projects, and the rise of the smartphone market have made Microsoft, a giant, more and more difficult.

"Actually, Microsoft doesn't want to change, does it?" Cheng Shuixin also had a certain say in this regard and humbly asked for advice, "It is said that it is particularly difficult for giants to turn around. Microsoft now has all departments to surround its operating system services, as well as enterprise services, and those cakes cannot be affected. In such a company, it is too difficult to do an innovative project that does not conflict with the previous market.

Buffett nodded with approval: "This is on the one hand, and on the other hand, because the current market is changing so fast that large companies like Microsoft can only learn from the innovation of other companies. Although this method is despised, it is the safest and most conservative method for large companies.

Cheng Shuixin remembered that Microsoft found the light touch request to add desktop expansion games to Windows7, and couldn't help laughing: "Microsoft is also trying to adapt to these changes, but they have been successful for too long and have forgotten how to be a warrior."

"There are such hidden dangers behind the great success of most enterprises." Buffett sighed, "The current economic downturn is showing this. People are getting more and more confused, and they can't find a direction."

"Every rapid growth will always bring huge negative hidden dangers, which is inevitable for economic development." Yang Bingbing said, "Actually, we think the next gathering point of wealth is likely to be in the entertainment field of the Internet."

Buffett said nothing about this statement and looked at Yang Bingbing and asked, "Why?"

The stock god asked why, in fact, he thought this statement was more interesting. Encouraged by the old man's eyes, Yang Bingbing continued: "In every era of economic recession, people will turn their attention to the entertainment industry. The traditional entertainment industry has developed for so many years, and the new growth is limited. On the contrary, in terms of Internet entertainment, it is simple and convenient. The cost of people finding happiness will be reduced and the usage rate will become higher.

This time, Buffett was a little surprised by the vision of the two girls in front of him. Although this kind of thing may be said by everyone, it was quite shocking to hear from the two girls.

There are many young people talking about this topic, but they are definitely not as old as Yang Bingbing and Cheng Shuixin, and most of them are the kind of technologyists cultivated by Silicon Valley and university campuses.

He narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at Yang Bingbing. Buffett realized that the girl was likely to be the future heir of the Yang family, which forced him to face the Chinese group that was already being investigated by the government.

After a little silence, Buffett said to the two girls, "If you see the future, you should try to walk around. It doesn't matter whether it's right or not. What matters is your own wishes.

Cheng Shuixin's hands were flat on the table. At this time, she was not as excited as when she first came to this steak restaurant, but with usual calmness on her face.

"Is this your suggestion? Or is it your perception of life?

Buffett smiled. His smile seemed to be infectious. Cheng Shuixin would rather believe that it was the power brought by wealth.

"If I say both, are you willing to do that?"

Cheng Shuixin also laughed.

"Most people ask others for advice after they already have an answer in their hearts."

Buffett smiled and blinked: "You are no exception?"

The two girls looked at each other and shook their heads almost in the same pace.

"It's no exception."

Buffett laughed this time, as if his previous seriousness and slightly kindness were pretending to be.

"Okay, girls, do you have any topics you want to talk about now?"

The assistant sitting next to him and listening all the time looked at this side unexpectedly. As far as he knew, Buffett once refused to let lunch bidders dominate the topic because of a bad experience. Now the old man has returned his right to speakback to the two girls, which is a scene he did not expect.

Although the assistant stopped talking, he finally didn't move. He felt as if he was stared at by two pairs of stressed eyes. Needless to ask, it must be the eyes of the two young women in the middle of the restaurant. After entering the restaurant just now, the assistant saw that the two young women obviously had the same existence, and he did not dare to move.

Yang Bingbing and Cheng Shuixin looked at each other again this time, and then they looked at Buffett together tacitly, and Yang Bingbing opened his mouth first.

"In fact, we have made an interactive entertainment company and raised funds on the KS website, and the result was very successful."

After the bidding lunch, Buffett also did some surveys on the bidders. At that time, a Canadian wealth management company claimed to have photographed Buffett's lunch, and the female manager of the company's executive was originally scheduled to come to the banquet. Unexpectedly, after really entering the preparatory stage, the people who went to the banquet suddenly changed, and finally decided that two girls from China would attend the lunch. Buffett was short of time, so he did not make a detailed investigation. He just knew that one of them should be the inheritor of the Yang family, the leader of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but he did not carefully investigate Cheng Shuixin's amazing back. Scene.

In fact, this situation is also inevitable. Cheng Shuixin's light touch is basically a behind-the-scenes figure, and it is not so easy to know her specific achievements.

Because of this, Buffett was a little surprised by Yang Bingbing's story. He reached out to his assistant, who immediately handed over an old-fashioned IBM laptop.

The restaurant provides wifi. Buffett searched for the game projects successfully raised by KS and immediately came to a conclusion.

"Is that popular virtual girl game made by you?"

Yang Bingbing nodded. The old man in front of her was absolutely sensitive to the investment field and only guessed the answer from the Yang family's part of the release and game style in North America.

This ability to analyze information is not practiced in a day or two. Cheng Shuixin awe-inspiringly found that she still has a long way to go.

Only Cheng Shuixin can compare herself with the world's best investment experts.

Buffett looked at the page introduction with some surprise. The introduction of this game on Wikipedia has been quite detailed, and many of the data and content details were added by employees themselves. This game has also been very successful in North America, and its data has been cited as a model for the rise of smartphone games.

"You are really amazing." Buffett finished reading the introductions and motioned his assistant to take away the computer. "Although you may feel very proud, you may be complacent about this. I also have to tell you that many investment companies in the United States are willing to expand their investment in the field of mobile Internet, which also has a lot to do with the success of your work.

Cheng Shuixin smiled faintly and said, "That's really the greatest affirmation for us."

"If you want to listen to my advice, I really have nothing to say." Buffett looked at the two girls and said seriously, "In this field, investment is no longer important to you, and the results you have achieved are something that many people can't achieve in their lifetime. So if a magazine interviews me tomorrow, I will tell you that the field you are working for will have a bright future.

Listening to Buffett's solemn words, Cheng Shuixin and Yang Bingbing had an incomparable sense of astonishment.

Two people come here to eat steak. Of course, they know Buffett's rules. They find it difficult for Buffett to make a statement, but at least they have to sell the light touch or the work they are doing in front of Buffett.

Spending more than two million US dollars should at least have a little advertising effect, which was the original idea of the two. Unexpectedly, Buffett gave them a huge surprise, and he actually made a statement directly.

This is the main reason why Buffett has hardly expressed his position on investment activities in recent years. He is the god of stocks, and his words are basically equivalent to stock price fluctuations. This feeling of fighting left and right will be criticized, and he basically won't say anything more.

I don't know why Buffett, who has never made any statement today, directly expressed his support for the new industry because he had a good talk with the two little girls. The shock brought by these few words alone is estimated to have made this lunch worth it.

Cheng Shuixin closed the small notebook in her hand and sincerely thanked Buffett.

"Thank you for your encouragement."

"This is not encouragement, but also my opinion." Buffett smiled and said, "Next, I will probably make some investments in this field. If you are interested, we can also talk about it."

Yang Bingbing refused directly at the first time, "No, thank you. We have our own plans."

It takes courage for anyone to reject Buffett's investment positively, but Yang Bingbing feels that there is no psychological pressure.

If you really want to invest, it's hard to say how much Yang Bingbing can shout, but it will definitely not invest less than the old man in front of her.

Hearing Yang Bingbing refuse to refuse himself, Buffett was not surprised and said with a smile, "So are you interested in telling me about the territory you are building now?"

Cheng Shuixin sat upright and nodded with a smile.

"Of course I'm very happy."
