Chapter 874 It’s a Good Opportunity to Pick up the Missed Opportunity
In fact, as early as when the bank run frenzy occurred, many small financial institutions and retail investors who suffered heavy losses regretted it.
How nice would it be if we could get out earlier?
As a result, careful observation revealed that many large institutions and funds managed to escape before the frenzy of bank runs occurred.
Among them, Quantum Fund and financial companies under the Morgan consortium were among the earliest to take action.
So in the eyes of public financial practitioners, they secretly lamented that after all, they are large institutions and funds, and their vision is extraordinary!
However, among Wall Street executives and upper circles, Quantum Fund and the Morgan consortium are not doing the best.
What really perfectly staged the golden cicada's escape was a large number of continuous selling orders a few months ago. Not only did he escape unscathed, but he also made a lot of money.
After careful investigation, it was discovered that these continuous selling orders were all from an unknown Chinese-owned holding company.
Tianqi Investment Los Angeles Branch!
As a result, the name of Tianqi Investment spread among the upper class society in the United States. As a spokesperson, Wu Yingying has received a lot of praise from the industry, but she does not dare to take credit for it.
In addition, people like Molly, Panis, and Ivanka were very aware of Wu Tao's leading role behind this incident, so Wu Tao's reputation spread among the upper class circles.
In this way, Wu Yingying's respect for her boss has something more than just superiors and subordinates.
Of course, Wu Tao himself didn't care about this kind of respect and pomp. On the contrary, Fang Yuan, who was out to see the world for the first time, enjoyed this feeling.
Compared with the foggy weather in the capital, the sea and sky in Los Angeles are blue, which makes Fang Yuan feel particularly happy.
It is also summer, and the sea breeze is blowing here, which makes it feel less uncomfortable.
Looking at the distant sky through the BMW window, I always murmur, "It turns out that the sky in big cities can be so blue!"
"Fool." Wu Tao dismissed him, which immediately led to a flurry of punches and kicks.
It's just a show of fists and beautiful legs.
As the motorcade entered Los Angeles, Wu Yingying first arranged a meal for her boss, and the location was set at a three-star Michelin restaurant.
As a high-end dining occasion, eating here is mostly a formal date or a meeting with a business nature.
Chinese people are used to discussing business at the dinner table. In fact, Westerners also have similar habits, but it usually happens between three or five people and not with so much fanfare or mobilization.
Wu Tao has been to this place several times and has long been used to it.
When Fang Yuan came back for the first time and saw such a high-end and clean restaurant, her whole outlook was completely refreshed.
Especially the people eating, most of whom were well-dressed and sitting upright, suddenly understood the meaning of ladies and gentlemen.
Wu Tao would not comment on how Michelin's food tastes, but it looks clean and refreshing, which is true.
In addition, it is filled with sweets and drinks, which can easily arouse appetite and even cover up the lack of taste.
The three of them were eating when they saw a wavy woman wearing a gray tube skirt and a small cardigan walking towards them with a polite smile on her face.
"Mrs Wu, how are you? I'm Reese!"
Wu Yingying immediately remembered and said: "Oh, Ruisi, nice to meet you."
While the two were chatting, Fang Yuan stared at Ruisi's figure and showed an exaggerated expression to Wu Tao.
She couldn't help but be surprised when she discovered that this big pony's figure was so curvy and curvy.
Wu Tao rolled his eyes at this and dealt with the steak on the plate.
Unexpectedly, while Dayangma and Wu Yingying were chatting, the topic turned to themselves. Wu Yingying turned to Chinese and asked: "Boss, Reese is a special correspondent for Barron's and she wants to conduct an exclusive interview with you."
Wu Tao replied No directly, not that he deliberately refused, but he really didn’t have time in the short term.
Reese twisted her hips and left with regret.
Fang Yuan blushed and said, "Hey, wouldn't it be too impolite for you to reject a beautiful woman like this?"
"How about you go?" Wu Tao asked directly.
Fang Yuan stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and continued to deal with the food on the plate.
But Wu Yingying said something and came to the rescue: "Boss, with your current reputation, if you are willing to be interviewed, those reporters can break through the doorstep of your home."
When Fang Yuan heard that she was so crazy, she thought about her rare overseas vacation. It would be very unpleasant if she was disturbed by these reporters.
After lunch, Wu Tao went directly to the Los Angeles branch of Tianqi Investment.
It can be seen that Wu Yingying has good management and control of the company. Although affected by the industry environment, the overall atmosphere of the company is not bad, and the employees are all in high spirits.
Wu Tao did not bring his habit of talking frequently back home to this place. He just met a few outstanding leaders, listened to their reports, and then gave them a few words of encouragement.
Fang Yuan followed behind, hearing that all the elites from Ivy League universities were working for her cousin, and she couldn't help but feel more and more proud.
After wandering around, Wu Tao returned to the office, and Wu Yingying came in with a notebook.
"Boss, what instructions do you have for the company's next work?"
Wu Tao sat on the chair, folded his hands and said, "There are no special instructions. The first task is to keep track of the empty orders and report any situation in a timely manner."
"...In addition, I estimate that many Internet companies will not be able to withstand this industry's cold winter. Please pay attention to follow up. If you find a company with potential, you may wish to buy it, reorganize and integrate it. In this regard, learn more from Berkshire." Learn from it.”
Wu Yingying's heart moved, yes!
Now that the Nasdaq index is plummeting, this crisis spreading to the industry may last for a year and a half.
Isn't this a good time to pick up leaks?
It's just that among companies on the verge of bankruptcy, there may not be many companies with potential and future. But if the conditions are relaxed, there might be big fish.
After all, most financial institutions and organizations are now particularly cautious about financing for the Internet industry, or even tightened it across the board. If Tianqi Investment can take the opportunity to open its arms, it may be able to open up a new situation in the United States.
On the way back to the Irvine Villa after leaving Tianqi Investment, Fang Yuan finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
Zhen Shou rested on Wu Tao's shoulder, sleeping so carefree and sweetly as he had done countless times when he was a child.
It wasn't until the speed of the car slowed down that he woke up leisurely.
As soon as I opened my eyes and saw this well-proportioned and row upon row of luxurious villas, my beautiful eyes almost popped out of my eyes.
"Wow, the villa here is so beautiful!"
After being amazed, Fang Yuan quickly stopped talking.
Because she saw through the car window that beauties frequently appeared in many villas, and they were beauties wearing only bikinis...
Turning around, he kicked Wu Tao with a blushing face, leaving Wu Tao confused for a while.
Fortunately, this little worry soon disappeared as the destination was reached.
"So your villa is the biggest and most beautiful!" Fang Yuan cheered and got out of the car, opened her arms and went straight to the brightly lit villa building.
