Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 119 The Big Benefactor

   There is very little communication with little Edward, counting the number of times, it is only two meetings.

  One time was when she was invited to Boston, and the other time was at Ms. Johnson's party. They had little affection for each other, and Ye Dongqing even got a whole 10 million dollars from him.

   There is no contact information. It is not surprising that Little Edward found him through a lawyer. What is strange is why he is looking for him.

Inexplicably, I feel that there are pitfalls in it, such as framing myself for violating the confidentiality agreement, or thinking of ways to harm myself, etc. The bad impression has been left in Ye Dongqing's mind, and I have no intention of looking good. If you take away tens of millions of dollars, even if you don't care about "such a small amount of money", you will definitely lose face.

  In the eyes of rich people, honor is often more important than face. In any case, they definitely don't want to meet and thank themselves, Ye Dongqing is very sure of this.

After asking, I found that the old lawyer on the other end of the phone didn't know the specific reason. After thinking for a while, he decided to agree to meet him first. It is a wishful thing. After all, the war is approaching, and the price of oil is likely to rise in the near future. The part of the oil futures purchased has already helped the company earn more than 7 million US dollars.

  The meeting place was on Wall Street, at the same Starbucks cafe he often went to.

  It was only after seven o'clock in the evening, and I was not interested in having dinner with that rich fat man. I was already full at the Chinese restaurant. After sending Zhao Liuli and Laura back, Ye Dongqing went out alone to meet the appointment on foot.

There were mice running across the street, not one, but three in a row, running from the trash can to the sewer, and the garbage around the trash can was blown away by the cold wind. It's hard to imagine that such a place is one of the world's economic centers, and the surrounding environment is known to be bad Relatively speaking, the vicinity of Puchuan Building is much better.

  From north to south in Manhattan, the Upper East Side, located east of Central Park, is the most suitable for living. There are more companies in Midtown, and the living environment is also very good. Many top rich people like to buy real estate in Midtown.

  Little Edward’s family is rich, and it is standard to bring a few bodyguards with him when he goes out.

Not long after I sat down, I saw two Rolls-Royces parked in front of the cafe. A bloated young man got out of the car with difficulty. If the space in the back seat was not large enough, passers-by even wondered if he would be stuck .

Even in Wall Street, it is rare to see a guy with such a rich family. He was born with a golden key in his mouth. He never knew what it was like to be short of money. While Ye Dongqing despises this kind of rich second generation, she is more or less envious of the huge trust fund.

I work hard, but I am not as good as others who have a good mother. I got hundreds of millions of dollars in trust when I was just an adult. Life is not like this. Some people step on the mud with bare feet, and some people treat private jets as toys since they were young. The gap exists from birth. .

   Such a big mountain of gold and silver, if you don't gamble and don't scatter indiscriminately, it will not be easy to sit and eat and lose everything.

Ye Dongqing himself has no way to become a rich second generation, but he hopes that his children will also become rich in the future. It is best that when others mention it, they will always add a sentence "Isn't it just a good old man?" Feel comfortable just thinking about it.

  When Edward Johnson Jr. sat across from Ye Dongqing, he clearly felt the vibration causing ripples on the surface of the coffee on the table.

The smell of cologne perfume was quite strong, and his face was full of oil. The other party said firstly, "Don't worry, I didn't come here today to trouble you. Just pretend that the previous thing never happened. I saved face. You get the settlement money, so high rate of return, I have to admit defeat."

Let's count it as a compliment to himself, Ye Dongqing didn't answer, and asked bluntly: "You called me out on a special trip, you don't just want to talk about this, just talk about something, you are busy and I am busy, there is no need to waste time .”

This is exactly what Little Edward wanted, and he was too lazy to play the trick of resolving conflicts. There are no pure friends in the business field, and there is no absolute interest either. He smiled and said: "Then let's talk about business directly. I already know that you have met Buffett." Sir, and he rejected the investment suggestion, you should come to me for this kind of thing, I have a large amount of idle money in my hand and I have nowhere to invest it.

Putting aside the previous conflicts, I think we can cooperate, but the specific model needs to be discussed in detail. After all, I am the one paying the money and bear a lot of risk. I think you understand what I mean, and you can invest a sum Money for you, but I must get more. "

  How naive do you have to be to have trouble with money for no reason?

Ye Dongqing didn't expect this, and suddenly found that the guy in front of him didn't seem so annoying anymore. Knowing that little Edward wanted to increase the share ratio, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It is true that some changes should be made. Before that, I would like to ask Question, how do you know what I discussed with Mr. Buffett?"

   "How can there be secrets in New York? I will know what I want to know in the end." Little Edward answered him like this, probably because he was worried that it would reach Mr. Buffett's ears, and deliberately concealed his source of information.

  When we met, besides the bodyguards, Mr. Buffett was surrounded by assistants. The old man would definitely not talk about it everywhere, and the scope was narrowed down to those few people.

  Ye Dongqing just asked casually, not really caring about this kind of thing, shrugged and asked: "How do you want to cooperate, if I think it's suitable, I can consider it.

  Since you came to find me, it means that you value my investment vision, which gives us a good start for our possible cooperation in the future. At present, I have a good project in hand, but it’s true that I’m short of money to invest, but if I don’t feel your sincerity and make me feel humiliated, I will definitely leave immediately, and don’t talk about any cooperation in the future. "

  The attitude is bad enough, which makes little Edward think that he really has a good project.

Last time, because of the impulsive gambling, he suffered a big loss from Ye Dongqing. During the gambling period, he specially asked someone to investigate the company of Tamsui Fund. Ye Dongqing's personal resume was also included in the scope of the investigation. The conclusion surprised Little Edward, and the subsequent results also proved that he is indeed capable.

I can't talk about good feelings, but in Little Edward's mind, he has already been classified as a "smart person with vision", so this time, by chance, I learned that Ye Dongqing had approached Mr. Buffett, the stock god, to discuss investment. After they failed to agree, they immediately came over to find him.

The abacus in Little Edward's heart is also clanging. In his opinion, it is good to make money, but even if he loses money, Ye Dongqing can still make up for the loss. It would be a good thing if this guy can go bankrupt. You won't lose too much left and right.

Ye Dongqing's agreement with the old Mr. Buffett is not bad, at least in his eyes, it already belongs to the kind of sincerity, but unfortunately he was rejected in the end. At this moment, little Edward took the initiative to come to the door, considering the long-term benefits that may be brought in the future , so that he had to temporarily put aside his estrangement and choose to cooperate. To use a sentence that Wall Street people often say-after all, money is innocent.

  Each has its own calculation.

  Little Edward had a false smile on his face, and said to him: "Of course I am full of sincerity, but the pay is not equal to the return, I know you don't have much money to invest in right now, you really need it.

  According to the conditions you said to the old Mr. Buffett, as the party paying the money, it is required to increase the profit share on the premise of taking risks. Isn't this a very reasonable request? "

If the bloated rich second generation in front of him is really as stupid as he looks, Ms. Johnson will never give him so much money when he becomes an adult, and let little Edward try to invest and manage money by himself. Ye Dongqing did not underestimate him Meaning, I think it is necessary to be more cautious.

Although whites and blacks like to go straight, it makes conspiracy theories appear superficial and simple, and the degree of stabbing is not as strong as that of the Chinese. For safety reasons, I still filter his words two or three times in my head to ensure that I don’t let myself fell into the pit.

Ye Dongqing nodded and replied: "It's a very reasonable request. In order to show my sincerity, I can redesign a sharing agreement so that the preconditions for you to keep your capital unchanged, and set up options similar to the company's executives. Goal, every time I reach a higher number, I can get more points, what do you think of this suggestion?"

   "It's ok, but first tell me what kind of investment project it is." Little Edward said.

"Is there any private equity fund manager you met who will tell others all the cards? I can tell you the general scope. The Internet industry is a long-term investment and may be held for more than ten years. But if when you want to divest Yes, just let me know in advance.

Under the premise of not losing money within two years, you can’t withdraw the capital at will, but if you lose money, I will calculate it according to the highest government bond interest rate, so that you can get back all the money with the principal and interest. After more than two years, I will give you once every quarter Opportunities for divestment, this will be written into the contract. "

  How could Ye Dongqing be so stupid as to tell him what to invest in? Otherwise, little Edward could leave him alone and go it alone, because he is confident that his funds will be sufficient in two years, so he is not worried about getting into trouble at that time.

  If this cooperation can really be negotiated, there are still many details that need to be discussed. The two parties are testing each other's attitude and trying to formulate a large framework first.

  The capital can be withdrawn at any time after two years, and it is also a capital-guaranteed investment. Except for the defect that Ye Dongqing's capital cannot be guaranteed and will definitely be fully refunded at that time, they are undoubtedly more beneficial to little Edward.

Even if he couldn't make any money, he could take the opportunity to humiliate Ye Dongqing. With a smile on his face, little Edward told him, "I can accept these, but you give Mr. Buffett an agreement of doubling the profit for five years, and I only give Mr. You have been three years, can you accept this?"
