"Hello, Mr. Luo. I am Brian, the Senior Vice President of Investments from Berkshire Hathaway. I have long admired your reputation. It’s a pleasure to meet you!"
「A few minutes later.」
They started the call. The other party spoke fluent Chinese.
"Hello, Mr. Brian, may I ask what business your Stock god has with me?" Luofeng asked directly.
"Our Stock god would like to establish a tentative partnership with you. You want to acquire Honda’s stock, and we’re interested in selling. So, how about a private transaction between our two parties?"
Luofeng asked, "At what price are you planning to sell?"
"What do you have in mind, Mr. Luo?"
"$24.50. Can you accept that?" Luofeng boldly proposed.
"Mr. Luo, you’re too greedy. Honda’s value is still evident. It’s currently among the global top ten in the automotive industry and has highly advanced engine technology. This price is too low! Your company needs about 43 million shares at present. And yes, while the market value is currently $25, a large-scale purchase will inevitably drive the price up, won’t it?"
Luofeng did not deny it. Indeed, that was the case.
"Name your lowest price," Luofeng said.
"Straightforward. $25.10. Our Stock god has lost this round. Your company can avoid the risks in the U.S. stock market without any gambling!"
Luofeng picked up his tablet and quickly began calculating. With this deal, Luofeng’s company stood to profit over 5 billion. The key was there were no risks involved.
"Let me first ask, what are the benefits for you?" Luofeng inquired.
"Of course, there are benefits!" Brian said with a laugh. "But it seems your company has indeed focused on the U.S. stock market. Have you given up on the Sakura Country market?"
Luofeng speculated, "Are you shorting Honda in the Sakura Country market?"
He answered his own question, "Indeed, you’re not us, so you don’t fear their lack of discipline over there!"
"How much did you make over there?" Luofeng continued to inquire.
"Why don’t you guess?" the other party replied. "Roughly 1.6 billion USD, of which over 300 million USD was earned by local forces."
Luofeng said, "If we agree on the $25.10 price, I can help you clear the inventory, and you will only lose 600 million USD. The other half of the losses would be borne by another financial institution, right?"
"So, you set up a trap in the U.S. stock market to collaborate with us? But reaped profits in the Sakura Country market?" Luofeng asked.
"Of course. After all, in the U.S. stock market, your company took the initiative and secured an advantage. We certainly can’t compete there! Naturally, we had to explore other avenues!" the other party confessed openly. "What do you think of our cooperation?"
"Mr. Brian, I accept your proposal in principle, but I have one condition!"
"Please speak!"
"Our company will announce that we have reached a partnership with your Stock god concerning this matter with Honda," Luofeng said with a smile.
This was like dragging the Stock god into the fray, making them weather the storm together.
"No problem. Our transaction will certainly be investigated by others, and our partnership will be exposed!"
Luofeng nodded, "Alright then!"
After the agreement was finalized, both parties had more or less a clean slate.
「At 4:30 in the morning.」
The U.S. stock market was nearing its close. In less than two minutes, Tong Tianlong had calculated the data. For Fengshun Investment Company, their short-selling operation this time yielded a profit of 5.686 billion. But if you calculated the initial profit, it would be 8.9 billion.
Such profits were simply unbeatable!
Li Bo Kai began to tremble at the sight of these profits.
"Brother Feng, so much profit?"
"8.9 billion! Holy shit, am I dreaming?"
"Brother Feng is awesome!"
