After all, Ivana was restricted by the dress and could not move too much. It is easy to step on the hem of the skirt, and the love between the two is enviable.

Especially Buffett's unabashed praise.

"Thank you for your compliment and invitation.

"Ivana smiled subtly and elegantly, and hugged Buffett close to each other.

"Andy, I still want to say, you are such an enviable kid!" Warren Buffett smiled at Andy with a mocking tone.

With a warm smile on his face, after shaking hands with Warren Buffett, Andy chuckled and said, "I'm speechless when you say that. Should I take it as a compliment? Well, you're still praising Iraq. Vanna, thank you."

Ivana smiled charmingly, her eyes were crescent-shaped, she held Andy's arm tightly, looking up at her little boyfriend with a sweet and happy expression.

"Hehe, come on, let me introduce some new friends to you, and many people want to know you too. I think you will have a pleasant evening." Warren Buffett picked up the champagne on the tray in the hands of the waiting waiter , said to Andy Ivana, who also held the champagne.

"It's a great honor!" Andy's smile was very sunny, his expression was soft, and he looked elegant and harmless.

"Merrill Lynch CEO Stanley O'Neal..."

O'Neill is one of the few blacks who have joined the senior management of a major financial company in the United States.

"Goldman Sachs, Laird Blank..."

"Lehman CEO Gregory Joe Gregory, CFO Erin Cullen..."

With a smile on his face, Andy got acquainted with Lehman, the unlucky CEO and CFO, and said a few polite words.

Under the recommendation of Warren Buffett, Andy and Ivana got to know many big figures and elites who have influenced Wall Street and even the entire American economy.

Of course, no one will underestimate Andy Smith, a young man, whether it is the magical speed of accumulating wealth from scratch, or his family background, no one is an idiot to ignore the annoying and offend a billionaire who is only 22 years old from an old political family. rich man.

What's more, many people present are interested in the many chips in Andy's hands. Whether it is the CDO of Deutsche Bank or the CDO of Goldman Sachs, they are the delicacies that some financial monsters who are waiting for an opportunity like it.

Not to mention the most valuable VAM agreement with Morgan Stanley. When executives from UBS, Merrill Lynch, and Citigroup greeted Andy, they all expressed their interest and left their business cards. Andy would consider working with them.

Even Andy's excellent partner, although it was the first time they met, quickly warmed up, and the CEO of Bank of America, Ken Lewis, who was chatting and laughing, asked about it.

"Andy, I heard that your negotiation with Damo has reached an impasse?"

Andy shook his head and laughed. This kind of news really cannot be kept a secret on Wall Street. It seems that everyone is paying attention to this transaction.

"Yes, the price they offered is unacceptable to me. Instead of wasting time with them, I might as well wait patiently for a while. I think my interests can be maximized."

"You don't worry about the market recovering... well, I'm just making an example, and I know the hope is slim, so to put it another way, aren't you afraid that Morgan Stanley will not be able to cash in?" Ken joked maliciously.

"Hehe, a company with tens of billions of dollars, I think I can just get it together. The agreement between me and them is that I have to pay premiums all the time, and I have the right to cash out first, unless they really go bankrupt..."

Ken Lewis looked at the young and over-the-top Andy Smith and his glamorous girlfriend with envious eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that I have to congratulate you in advance, and you will soon be selected as the youngest billionaire on the Forbes list. Millionaire."

Andy smiled and shook his head. He didn't care about this, but smiled and said to Ken Lewis: "Actually, I also want to congratulate you, after all, I need to pay you a lot of interest..."

"Hehe, it's a win-win situation. However, Andy, since the negotiation with Damo has been suspended, are you interested in finding a new buyer?"

"Why, Bank of America is also interested? My asking price is not low." Andy squinted his eyes with a smile, looking at Ken Lewis who was also smiling happily.

"NO, NO, even if this VAM agreement is bought from you at a high price, you can get high profits, but there are risks after all, we are not interested in Morgan Stanley, what is really interested is the Mitsubishi consortium in the foot basin country , they hope to be able to get this opportunity."

Andy's smile faltered slightly, and he looked at Ken Lewis with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally said lightly: "Why didn't they contact me directly?"

"Hehe, who knows, maybe the newspaper under your name has always held a critical attitude towards the foot basin, making them mistakenly think that you are prejudiced against them..."

Andy couldn't help chuckling, and said lightly: "They think too much, I have no prejudice against them, but in some things, they are really a bit dirty and wretched, forget it, let's not talk about them, to be honest, my first choice Let Damo buy it, if Damo can't satisfy me, I will let interested forces bid, and the highest bidder wins."

Ken Lewis couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile, "Everyone is surprised that you chose to sell the cds gambling agreement at this time. Some people say you are timid, while others think you are calm and mature for your age, and you are well versed in the essence of prudent investment. .

Hehe, it's ridiculous. People who say you are cowardly don't even think about it. Would a cowardly person put his entire fortune on a big gamble?

Instead, I feel that the problem lies with Damo. . . "

Andy's pupils shrank slightly, he interrupted Ken Lewis with a smile and waved his hand, and said, "It doesn't matter what the reason is, as I said before, our cooperation is just the beginning, and I have a plan next, I don't know if you American Will the bank support me as always?"

"Of course, you are our high-quality customer, and I am willing to serve you..." Ken Lewis stopped the topic knowingly, but he also verified his guess. It seems that the people in the investment department can verify it again when he goes back, and maybe it can work. .

After Andy and Ivana stepped into the hall, the eyes of a small circle of several people have never left Andy. Watching Andy get acquainted with people from various forces under the introduction of Warren Buffett, let The faces of several people became more and more ugly.

"John, are you still insisting that Andy Smith will not sell to other forces?" Parker Gilbert's voice was low, and John Mark's face turned a little pale with an aura of calmness.

"Forget it, let's meet this young man in the past. After several negotiations, we haven't even seen his face. You are really..." Parker was a little disappointed with John, his favorite CEO candidate.

. . . . . .

"Okay, let's talk later, Parker seems to be a little impatient, Andy, good luck." Ken Lewis saw Parker walking towards their position with a person.

"Hehe, the bait should be in line with the fish's appetite, not the fishermen's. This is a well-known truth." Andy turned his head and smiled at Ivana, who always had an elegant smile on his face, and said lightly. Said.

Ivana couldn't help but her eyes lit up, but Ken Lewis nodded in agreement, holding the wine glass to make room for Andy and Dalmo's people.

The exchange between Parker and Andy caused many people at the reception to look sideways, even Warren Buffett, who was talking and laughing with his friends.

"This kid from the Smith family is really powerful. There is almost no one in the younger generation who can match him!"

Jab, the younger brother of Lehman's private equity adviser, the president of Flying Shoes, lamented Buffett and his cousin George Volker, a member of Lehman's executive committee.

"Unfortunately, he is not interested in politics." George said with a smile and took a sip of champagne.

"He doesn't need it. After all, his father is only in his 40s. His family, contacts, and his money..." Jiebo looked at Ann who was calmly shaking hands with Parker, the soul leader of Damo, with a warm smile. Di Smith, narrowing his eyes slightly, said calmly.

After all, he also has an ambition to be president, and the biggest obstacle is that their family has already had two presidents, and the public will be tired of the Bush family, and more importantly, Auston Smith, the new political star of the Elephant Party appear.
