Wall Street Legend

Ever since the crude oil futures position was closed, Ye Dongqing always felt that his life had fallen into a boring and tedious state. How should I put it, it seemed that there was a lack of passion, and the warrants were not as interesting as oil futures.

Thanks to the professional managers, they managed the company so well that he had almost nothing to do. He stayed in the office and became a mascot. Whenever a big customer came to the door, there was always a salesman asking the customer to meet him. , and then told how capable this young Chinese-American was, earning hundreds of millions of dollars in half a year.

Laura went to England, and Zhao Liuli stayed in school. This was one of the reasons why Ye Dongqing was bored. Yesterday, he even took the initiative to go to a golf club and asked the caddy to play golf with him, and then switched to tennis... This shows how boring...basketball...is.

Rich people are also human beings. Unless they are drunk and dreaming every day, how can they live a fulfilling and interesting life every day?

It's already April. New York residents have finally taken off their heavy cotton-padded jackets, the trees on the roadside are sprouting buds, and Central Park is turning green again.

The Adolf School where Zhao Liuli is studying is planning to organize a spring outing to Washington in the near future. Regarding this, Ye Dongqing can only say that it is indeed a private school. He had never encountered such a good thing when he was in school.

After a few months, Ferrari probably finally remembered that he was a user and sent three sports cars at once. There was no other way. If you wanted to buy an Enzo, you had to become a VIP first, even if you were a billionaire, so I had no choice but to buy it with other cars. This marketing trick is really powerful.

In fact, what Ye Dongqing wanted was Enzo. He had not driven the other two cars after they were delivered. He planned to wait until the annual meeting to give them as prizes to an employee, or send one to London as a gift for Laura. Anyway, they were idle. It's a waste to buy them, and once Bugatti gets it, he won't be able to drive them.

It’s April 7th.

I was still wearing my pajamas during lunch. I planned to buy a plane ticket to go to Silicon Valley later to see how the new company was doing, but I unexpectedly received a call from real estate agent Mr. Mike Howell.

As soon as the connection was connected, I heard the other party shouting in an excited voice: "Good news! Mr. Ye, the owner of the island has agreed to sell it for 65 million US dollars and accepts installment payments. Are you still interested?" You are interested in it, right? You can get it in the next few days, everything has been moved from the island!"

"Really, but I have already bought an island in the Bahamas, and I have no idea of ​​purchasing real estate for the time being, but..."

Mike Howell's heart froze when he heard the previous words. The price of that island was too high. Only Ye Dongqing had visited it recently and expressed the intention of trying to buy it. Moreover, he saw in the newspaper that this island The little Chinese guy made a lot of money recently!

He asked hurriedly: "But what?"

"If the price can be more suitable, for example, reduced to US$60 million, I will still buy it in installments. Of course, I am willing to provide assets as collateral security."

It's rare that a piece of fun comes to his door, and Ye Dongqing doesn't want to miss it. It would be stressful for him to come up with more than 60 million US dollars in one go. However, there is no problem of affecting the liquidity of funds if paid in installments. You can use Facebook's shares as collateral for the loan. Or you can ask Freshwater Investment Fund, which is about to pay a large amount of taxes before April 15th, to pay for it, so that you can pay less taxes.

He had previously toyed with the idea of ​​purchasing a private jet in the name of his company, but finally decided to wait two more years until he could save enough money to buy a large Boeing or Airbus jet. He already owned a small business jet, so it was not a big purchase. desire.

"Wow, that's a lot of money, and I honestly don't think the seller would agree to drop the price that much."

Before Mike Howell could finish speaking, Ye Dongqing interrupted: "Forget it, it won't be sold for a while anyway. There are not many high-quality customers like me who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. Maybe I should Consider buying a resort with great scenery in remote places like Wyoming or Montana. It is more comfortable than living on a 48-acre island, not to mention whether it is an island in the strict sense."

The higher the selling price, the higher the commission the real estate agent can get. Most of these fees are paid by the seller, so he was not polite at all at this moment and cut off five million US dollars.

There is a raised remote control lever on the mobile phone. These days, point-and-shoot mobile phones have all kinds of weird styles and have been poked several times. This reminds Ye Dongqing that he should buy another mobile phone recently. The luxury accessories series of Nokia that he couldn't afford last time The functions of Vertu's mobile phones have not changed much, but the style is much better than the current one. The price is as high as 30,000 to 40,000 US dollars.

"...I'm going to ask the seller what he thinks now. There's no guarantee that the negotiation will be successful, but as long as you are sincere in purchasing, it should be slightly cheaper, okay?"

"Then I'll wait for your answer."

After saying these words, Ye Dongqing hung up the phone and lazily got up to change clothes. He really wanted to go out and buy a mobile phone. There was a Vertu mobile phone store on Fifth Avenue.

Speaking of Vertu, in 1998 Nokia's chief designer tried to turn mobile phones into luxury accessories. Nokia executives were very interested, so the company was successfully born in 2000. The first product was just released last year, using a large amount of sapphire and Made of ruby, equipped with a physical keyboard and equipped with Symbian system, it seems not to be made for ordinary people.

When Ye Dongqing went to buy a mobile phone last time, he was still an ordinary person. He couldn't afford a new mobile phone and could only look at it on posters. This time he drove out and found a Vertu store. He directly asked someone to give him the most advanced one, black. The crocodile skin is matched with gold, and there is a ruby ​​in the center of the button. After reading this, I decisively swiped the card to buy it, and put the card in the old phone into the new phone. Putting aside the bad use experience, there are no major faults in the appearance and material. It was enough, a total of 46,000 US dollars, to buy a little happiness.

The female clerk, who looked a bit cute, wrote her number directly on the invoice. Her eyes did not hide the meaning at all. Ye Dongqing was not interested in her, but she still lamented that her eyes were vicious enough, and she probably recognized her credit card.

As soon as he got out of the house and got into the red sports car with an anti-human design, he heard the ringtone of his mobile phone. When he saw the number, he secretly thought that it was bad luck. The first number he received on his new mobile phone was actually from Little Edward. After the call was connected, he said angrily: "No cooperation, no cooperation. I won’t give you advice, nor will I lend you money, okay, can you tell me what I have to say?”

Little Edward, who was far away at Harvard University, almost exploded with anger. After taking a few deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and forced a smile: "You may have misunderstood something. We worked well together last time, didn't we? You make money, I make money, and everyone is happy... …”

My wrist hurts today, I will write more tomorrow╮(￣▽￣““)╭
