Wall Street Legend - Chapter 385

  Chapter 385 Hedging those things (3)

   Chatted on the phone.

  I have been sulking for so long, and Ye Dongqing also called her several times, apologizing for everything that should be apologized, and her attitude is more sincere, and she has long been mentally prepared for the matter of flirtatiousness.

Laura finally found the steps by herself and walked down, deliberately avoiding sensitive topics, talking about what happened recently, such as the campus life at University College London, and some things at work, and only said that she took over with the help of the brokerage company. When I went to a movie, I played a supporting actress in it, because when we talked about Victoria’s Secret, we always thought of another woman, and we didn’t mention this company, so we had a tacit understanding.

Sometimes, Ye Dongqing even forgets that he is still a student at Harvard, and suddenly realizes that he has not been back for more than a year, and neither the tutor nor the senior management of the business school seem to have any intention of urging or reminding him, logically speaking I’m going to graduate in June today, and I don’t have any papers or defenses.

  If it wasn’t for occasionally seeing Harvard University’s official account bragging about himself on Facebook, for example, when Forbes magazine came out this year and he ranked third on the list, Ye Dongqing might have thought that he had been expelled.

I wondered if I should go back recently and lure some cheap and easy-to-use elites into the company as interns. Last year, I got a group of people by virtue of my alumni status, about 200 people, and now some of them have become part of the company. Well, the “Harvard Department” is dominated by his family, and there are actually quite a few talents from the same Ivy League schools, but they are not united enough.

  Because Ye Dongqing was also branded with the “Harvard” label, although there were some factional disputes, there were not many troubles. It can be regarded as healthy internal competition, and this phenomenon also exists in other large companies.

Wall Street financial circles, lawyers, doctors, professional managers, and even judges and politicians all attach great importance to academic qualifications, and an unspoken rule has long been formed. People from non-brand schools will be excluded even if they are capable. It can be said that a prestigious school A graduation certificate means a stepping stone for different people to step into the upper class.

  Because he is one of his own, Ye Dongqing often feels the kindness from Harvard alumni. Of course, these are also closely related to his personal achievements.

As the only Chinese in the top ten list of the world’s richest people, his current influence is not small, but he deliberately kept a low profile and did not make use of this part of the resources. some activities.

  Xiangjiang Lao Li ranked 20th last year. It is hard to count how much money he has hidden in the dark, but on the surface it is only about one-third of Ye Dongqing.

This year Ye Dongqing’s ranking is likely to surpass Mr. Buffett, but Gates’s side is almost 50 billion U.S. dollars, and it is still the remaining wealth after donating part of it. Whether it can reach the top this year is still uncertain, mainly depends on Facebook The market development progress of the company, Apple’s performance, and other industries together are a big piece of cake, just like Green Mountain Coffee, which has begun to exert its strength. With the launch of the advertisement, the sales volume has increased by more than 30 times!

  The planted saplings have begun to bear fruit, and people really don’t know how to describe his success except that it is just the beginning.

There is no need to worry about the business landscape. There are a little troubles in personal life, but he is solving them one by one. I have a confidante and a daughter. After comforting Laura, I invite her to come to New York when she is free, and then hang up Telephone

On the small island that day, I visited the botanical garden under construction. The equipment is being debugged. Several huge baobab trees transported from Africa are being planted into the soil by the workers, and there are still many desert vegetation growing around them. The largest cactus is more than seven meters high. They are all carefully selected and beautiful in appearance. It will take about four months to prepare for the opening to the public.

There are a group of macaws in the Tropical Garden, jackfruit, mango and so on. I guess I don’t need to go to the market to buy it in the future. I spent a lot of money for this botanical garden, but Ye Dongqing thinks it’s worth it to create such a back garden. , that’s enough, you can’t just make money without spending money, so there is no motivation to make money.

In the daytime of the next day, I talked with several executives of Apple and Mr. Bezos, the executive of Amazon. The mass production of iTouch has been put on the agenda, and I have discussed with parts manufacturers. The estimated global sales It is about 8 million to 12 million units. After all, the iPod music player can already withdraw from the stage of history. With reference to the sales volume of the iPod, this figure is quite convincing.

Considering the high pricing, the sales group is mainly people from developed countries and regions. It is estimated that it will also help to promote the sales of Apple MacBook notebooks and iMac all-in-one machines. The systems are similar, and the product design is absolutely nothing to say. According to the proposal, the number of retail stores directly operated by Apple will increase to about 400 by the end of the year.

To be honest, he currently hopes that Apple will burn more money, so that it can issue new shares as a matter of course, and take the opportunity to increase the shareholding ratio. But there must be bright spots. Last year, there was too much investment in R&D, and many scattered shareholders have begun to complain about not paying dividends. Only by making them believe that investing more money in R&D will bring them huge benefits, implement the plan of allocating additional shares to raise funds It will not encounter too much resistance.

   Ye Dongqing didn’t tell anyone about this matter, he seemed to have grown into a relatively qualified businessman, and his vision became more long-term.

The reason why Apple is special in his eyes is that Ye Dongqing also hopes to seize this opportunity to change the world. Facebook and other companies are certainly good, but compared with a real smartphone, their influence is small after all At this point, people can hold real Apple products, but they can only touch Facebook products in the virtual digital world.

   Like Jobs in my impression, he will face fanatic fans wherever he goes. This kind of pinnacle in life is the achievement that Ye Dongqing dreams of.

I arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel at 6 o’clock in the evening. Many guests who came to participate in the seminar had already gathered in the lobby. Tickets were relatively expensive, but the organizers did not lack this small amount of money, and promised to donate all of it to several schools in New York State. The church is used to help the homeless and orphans.

   This can be regarded as Ye Dongqing doing charity indirectly.

After seeing him, a group of people gathered around to greet him politely, they didn’t care about etiquette, they gathered around in a swarm, they knew about little Edward’s money making, and they also knew that even Ye Dongqing’s bodyguard had bought stocks and made a fortune. Compared with Rose’s achievements, Ye Dongqing’s experience is undoubtedly more suitable for this group of people.

A well-known hedge fund founder with a Jewish face on Wall Street almost put his business card into Ye Dongqing’s hands, and asked without hesitation after revealing his identity: “Leo, what do you think of Nasdaq? Is the Internet industry still worth investing in? Is this another round of bubbles?”

  The road was blocked, Ye Dongqing had no choice but to stop, and said angrily: “Donate half a million dollars in my name and I will tell you that the sky on Wall Street will not fall.”

   Originally, I wanted to ridicule this guy for not knowing the rules. No one would talk about these things, especially on this occasion.

   Unexpectedly, the Jew took it seriously. After a moment of surprise, he immediately took out the checkbook and said, “I’ll write it now and donate in your name!”

   It wasn’t out of anger, I really filled it out on the check, and after writing it quickly, I didn’t forget to add: “Let’s talk in private.”

The people around were stunned, and there was a burst of ridicule and sneering. As expected of the Jews, they stared and shouted: “You didn’t spend money, why should I show you?! If you want to know that you spend money to buy news, you can’t buy it when you bribe others.” I didn’t see you feeling sorry for money! Whoever cheated me last time didn’t find someone to settle the score yet!”

   It seems very reasonable.
