My Age of Investment

   Chapter 998 Don't let that Chinese run away

  In the top-level office of the 40th Wall Street Building, Xia Jingxing moved the chair, poured himself a cup of 1982 Patus, lit a cigar, and browsed today’s news.

  "The greatest deal in history, Paulson and his fund fought to become a god!

According to statistics from "Alpha" magazine, the Paulson Fund made a total of $15.5 billion in profits last year, surpassing all hedge funds in the world, and more than ten times more profit than Soros’ sniping on the British pound that year. The figure is higher than Bolivia, Honduras, The combined GDP of these three South American countries of 12 million people in Paraguay.

  However, this money-making **** seems to be in trouble recently, and a large number of social organizations are criticizing and questioning whether his money-making behavior is glorious..."

  This news was published by the Wall Street Journal to the open Facebook platform in just two hours, and it received millions of reposts and millions of comments, and it instantly became popular all over the world.

  The open Facebook platform has been released for two years. There are not only domestic games and social games developed by Xingjia Games, but also news plug-ins from various media groups.

  Facebook has reached cooperation with a number of media groups, which publish news on open platforms, and use Facebook to radiate the world’s social networks to push news to hundreds of millions of users.

  Media groups can obtain more news exposure and greater influence, while Facebook enriches platform functions, improves user stickiness and user usage time, which can be called a win-win situation.

  But general news can’t get so much exposure and attention.

  Xia Jingxing looked at the appalling number of reposts and comments at the end of the article, and was also shocked.

  He admitted that he gave Paulson a wave of assists, but he did not expect the effect to be so strong.

  It should be that Paulson’s own experience is too legendary, and it is easy to get the eye.

  Xia Jingxing began to browse comments.

  "The company made $15.5 billion, and the individual made $3.7 billion. And a large number of Americans are homeless and wandering on the streets. It's time to send these greedy guys to the gallows."

  “Short-selling is a market behavior and the only way to squeeze out the bubble. Paulson is not wrong. The only thing he is wrong is to make too much and to make too many people jealous and jealous.”

  "I am not jealous and jealous of Paulson, I just hope that he will do something good for society and help the poor."

  "Donations are personal will, not moral kidnapping."

   "There is no moral kidnapping, but I just feel that Paulson can use this behavior to calm public opinion and create a better image of an entrepreneur."

  ……

  Xia Jingxing read the comments carefully, and found that there was everything to say, most people are not very comfortable with Paulson's wealth.

  If it is a successful Internet entrepreneurship and get rich, everyone envy but not hate;

  But Paulson’s success is based on the pain of countless people, so many people feel immoral.

  Of course, there are some anti-intellectual remarks. This is the most indispensable thing in the United States.

  Someone proposed to file a lawsuit against Paulson, arrest the big shorts, and use all the property to help the poor;

  Others have proposed to expel Paulson from the country, and he is not worthy of being an American anymore.

  Xia Jingxing was smoking a cigar and tasting red wine, and she was also embarrassed in her heart.

   Fortunately, his mother threw Paulson out as a target, otherwise the fire would burn him.

  Even Paulson, an American, has been scolded with blood, not to mention him as a foreigner.

  In addition to Paulson, Peter Thiel and his Clay Capital are also on fire.

  According to "Alpha", Claire Capital made $14.9 billion, which is several hundred million dollars less than the Paulson Fund, ranking second.

  Although most of the firepower of public opinion was directed at the Paulson Fund, Peter Thiel and his Clay Capital also encountered soul torture.

  "Tal was a well-known technology entrepreneur in Silicon Valley in the past. The PayPal he founded has greatly facilitated people's online life. For such entrepreneurs, I am full of admiration.

  Now Thiel has become an insatiable capital player. He and Paulson are the same kind of goods, and the means of making money are very immoral. "

   "Peter Thiel is a **** **** guy, and it's over sooner or later!"

   "Fuck, it's okay to scold Peter Thiel, but you can't scold gay."

   "Sorry, I offended."

  ……

  Xia Jingxing saw a stomachache. These guys seemed to pay more attention to Peter Thiel’s coming out of the closet than to short subprime loans.

  Just last year, Peter Thiel was exposed by a gossip website, which caused an uproar in the Silicon Valley venture capital circle. A large number of potential investors from Saudi Arabia refused to invest in the Founders’ Fund because of this incident.

  The original incident has subsided, but as Peter Thiel was crowned "Wall Street Empty Saint", the old account was turned over again and was ridiculed and ridiculed.

  Xia Jingxing is suddenly a little worried, Peter Thiel won’t be ashamed to become angry, can you clarify?

  Unlike the Paulson Fund, most of the $14.9 billion profit of Clarion Capital was earned for Vision Capital or for him personally.

  It was not very pleasant to talk to Peter Thiel that day, what if he didn’t carry the pot for himself?

  Xia Jingxing stopped smoking cigars and drinking red wine, so she pinched her chin and thought about it seriously.

He judged that Peter Thiel should not be so unwise, because exposure is a lose-lose situation. Although Vision Capital can’t do well, Claire Capital is also not much better. A large number of fund investors will feel that they suffer. If you are deceived, you might have to go to court...

  There are some things that can only rot in the stomach for a lifetime.

  However, Xia Jingxing felt that he still had to call Peter Thiel to express his concern for his friends.

   Before he could call, Peter Thiel called him first.

  "Dalun, have you seen that there are many more comments on the Internet and the media that attacked me and Clarion Capital."

   Hearing Peter Thiel’s voice was a little tired and anxious, Xia Jingxing did not pretend to be confused, and said sternly: "I saw it, I was about to call you, how about it? Are you okay?"

  There was a silence on the other end of the phone, “I’m fine, these verbal abuses won’t break me, they just make people very upset.

  There are still many people on the Internet who feel that I have made ill-gotten wealth and force me to donate money. "

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "If things get worse, then you can donate a sum of money. I think Paulson has also encountered forced donations, maybe he will also donate money.

  If he makes a donation, but you don’t, the pressure will fall on your side. "

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing was also very speechless. It seems that forcing donations is not a characteristic of any country. The whole world is the same.

  Thinking about it, Xia Jingxing added: "When you want to donate, you say the number, and I will pay half."

  The reason why he didn't say that it was all by himself was because Xia Jingxing was expressing some meanings in a vague way. Don't rely on me. You Peter Thiel also benefited.

If it is said that the donation is all-inclusive, then it is too weak, and it takes the initiative to take the responsibility on its own head; if it is not good, it is actually reasonable, but it is unavoidable that Peter Thiel will feel resentful, and then he will do something. Anti-intellectual behavior is bad.

  Peter Thiel on the other end of the phone did not refuse, and said: "That's OK, I will contact you again if necessary."

  The corners of Xia Jingxing's mouth raised slightly, and he promised to be so happy, indicating that he was well prepared.

  But it doesn’t matter. After making so much money, it’s okay to spend tens of millions or even one or two billion dollars to settle the matter. After all, I will be mixed in the United States in the future and cannot be deported.

   "Oh, by the way, Darren, those verbal abuses and attacks on Facebook..."

  Peter Thiel didn’t go any further, he believed Xia Jingxing understood what he meant.

   "After all, freedom of speech is important. It is unrealistic to clean up everything, and it will reduce the heat.

  But don’t worry, everyone will discuss the next thing soon. Netizens are like fish, with short memories. "

   "Okay, I see, thank you, Darren!"

  "Are we friends! Don't see outsiders!"

  Xia Jingxing hung up the phone with a smile and continued to scan the news.

  A big headline made his eyelids jump-"Don't let that Chinese run away".
