Standing pretty old

Chapter 139 Dialogue with the Stock God
On December 2007, 12, Ruan Erniu finished his training for the day and returned home. After a short rest, he began to dress up.

A sharp Tiffany tailored suit, shiny Tish Tony custom-made shoes, a red and black checked tie, and a Louis Vuitton belt.

After having a good time in front of the mirror, Ruan Erniu loosened his neckline again.Tonight, he is not so much going to attend the annual business meeting organized by Coca-Cola as meeting his idol in business.

In fact, more than a month ago, Er Niu had quite high expectations for this trip.

However, his mentality has changed subtly now.

Especially on the plane, after communicating with a certain real estate businessman who the world calls crazy, Ruan Erniu decided to take a different investment path from his idol.

After arriving at the Coca-Cola headquarters, Ruan Erniu, accompanied by the staff, visited the interior of Coca-Cola.

Only then did Er Niu realize that the reason why Coca-Cola became the world's best-selling beverage was fundamentally due to the appearance of the "U-shaped bottle".

It was this extremely fashionable packaging at the time that allowed Coca-Cola to quickly occupy the global market.As for the subsequent birth history and marketing methods, it is just an extension of the U-shaped bottle.

Coca-Cola is not selling beverages, but packaging.It is the packaging that makes Coca-Cola's commercial volume of [-] billion meters.

After arriving at the main meeting place inside the company, Ruan Erniu sat in his seat according to the signs.

Not long after sitting down, a staff member replaced the guest nameplates on the wall, and the sharp-eyed Ruan Erniu saw the difference between the front and back ones at a glance, and there was one star missing——Britney Spears.

The former Britney was caught in a drug scandal recently, and she shaved her hair half a year ago, so it seems that her mental state has not yet recovered.

After sitting for a while, Ruan Erniu ushered in two big Chinese stars - Wang Lihong and Pan Weibo.

Since they are all Chinese, the three of them quickly communicated happily.

In order to show his understanding of them, Er Niu impromptu sang a piece of "The Only" and a piece of "My Microphone".

The two Chinese stars are also fans of the NBA. The three of them exchanged numbers. Er Niu invited them to watch the Eagles' home game together tomorrow after learning that the two hadn't announced that they were going to catch up.

Wang and Pan also readily agreed.

Later, the main venue gradually became lively, including Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé and other celebrities came to the scene.

Needless to say, Ruan Erniu's camp is all the spokesperson of Coca-Cola.

The rice-style dinner does not need to gather around the table like the Chinese style, after the CEO Brian Dyson delivered the opening speech.

The rest of the time is free dinner time.

Familiar friends greet each other, and some scheming people create all kinds of coincidences to meet those celebrities and rich people.

Ruan Erniu should belong to the latter, but his current goal is just to get to know his idol.

Speaking of this idol, Ruan Erniu couldn't help but think of such a story:
There is such a person, let's call him Xiaofei for now, he graduated from the finance department of a famous university at the age of 21.I couldn't find a job in a big city, so I went back to my hometown and became an ordinary employee in a securities company.A year later, Xiao Fei met Xiao Su, a girl he liked, and proposed to her.Xiao Su asked him, what about the house?
Xiao Fei said, I have only worked for one year, and I made some money when I was in college.Probably saved more than [-] yuan.I will give you two options, one is to spend the money to buy a small house locally; the other is to let me invest and buy a big house in a few years.Xiao Su said yes, I believe in you, I will choose two.So Xiao Fei and Xiao Su rented a two-bedroom apartment and got married. The house was so dilapidated that you could hear the mice on the ceiling having a party at night.

The first year they had a girl, they didn't buy a house.

After four years of marriage, Xiaofei became a partner of an investment company, but they still didn't buy a house.

After six years of marriage, Xiaofei spent 30 yuan to buy an ordinary house in the local area, and the whole family moved in.

When Xiao Fei was 32 years old, he finally earned his first 100 million. Although his friends lived in better houses, Xiao Fei still wanted to continue his investment business, and he was not going to use the money. Come buy a bigger house.

this is a true story.Xiaofei and Xiaosu are actually Buffett and his wife—Susan.

In 1951, Buffett graduated from Columbia University and couldn't find a job in New York, so he returned to his hometown of Omaha to work as a stockbroker.

In 1952, "Ant Tribe" Buffett met his favorite girl Susan.

In 1952, "Ant Race" Buffett "married naked" and rented two rooms and one living room with his wife Susan.

In 1953, their first daughter was born.

In 1956, after renting a house for four years, the 26-year-old Buffett established Buffett United Co., Ltd. and started his business.

In 1958, his investment began to make steady profits. He spent $3.15 to buy a small gray building in Omaha, where he lives today.

In 1962, Buffett made his first million dollars.

In 2007, Buffett was worth more than 600 billion yuan, and he may reach the top of the Forbes rich list at any time.

Why Ruan Erniu regards Buffett as an idol, because his story is inspirational enough, and he dares to use the house money in his hand to invest.

Why later, Ruan Erniu became bearish again?
That's because Ruan Erniu, who came back to his senses, felt that there is only one Buffett in this world, and how many people can be as successful as him?
Years later, it turns out that Erniu once again underestimated himself.

In this world, there is also only one Ruan Erniu!

Another point, which is also very important, is that Buffett has always maintained a cautious attitude towards technology concept stocks.Ruan Erniu is just the opposite. He is a person who wholeheartedly wants to open up a world in the Internet field.

Even so, Ruan Erniu was very excited to have a close contact with his idol.

After saying goodbye to Wang and Pan temporarily, he walked slowly to Buffett.

Warren Buffett looked at the burly Ruan Erniu and asked with a smile: "Kraft, are you here to play with me? Unfortunately, at my age, I can only do aerobic exercises in the gym now." !"

Ruan Erniu said pleasantly: "Mr. Buffett, I didn't expect you to know me. This surprised me. You are my idol!"

Buffett said: "That's my honor. You can call me Warren, Kraft. In fact, from the day you joined the NBA, I knew that there was a Chinese Yao. These years, my lunch auction is also thanks to There are a lot of wealthy people in the Celestial Dynasty. So I have a lot of understanding about the Celestial Dynasty."

Ruan Erniu said: "Then you are very optimistic about China's economic development? You know, there is a Mr. Zhang Jiadun who said more than once that China is about to collapse!"

Buffett said with a smile: "He said that in 2000, and now Mr. Zhang is a joke in the mainstream media."

Ruan Erniu then changed the subject and said bluntly: "To be honest, although I regard you as an idol, I don't agree with your views on technology stocks. I think the Internet is the general trend. Your investment philosophy is sometimes too conservative. !"

Buffett nodded and said, "Young man, that's because you don't understand. Before I became a stock investor, I was an insurance businessman first. The insurance industry is the industry that is most sensitive to risk aversion.

Also, people are always changing. How do you know that I won't buy technology stocks in the future? "

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "I hope that one day, you can buy the stocks of my company!"

Buffett immediately became interested and asked, "Kraft, you are such a surprise to me. Here is my business card. I am waiting for your IPO!"
