His name was Bill Ackman, the hedge fund impresario who had, that very week, launched Pershing Square Capital Management 6,500 miles away in Manhattan.
11、Ackman had won his fishing trip at a charity auction. “I was told it was the best place in the world to fish,” he says. The only problem: Neither he nor his friend had ever flyfished.

But, says Ackman, “I thought it was good to have someone out of the mainstream.”Says White: “Only later would I realize that Id drawn the winning lottery ticket.” (Since then Ackman has hired his tennis pro and a man whom he met in a cab.)【字数：289】计时 4White, starting with a salary of $60,000 (plus a year-end bonus), spent the first six months shadowing
