Wall Street Legend

There was no big conflict in the first place, it was enough to force the other party to retreat.

Calculated according to the original land price, the price of this land is already much higher. Ye Dongqing spent about 60 million US dollars more, not to mention it is only 60 million US dollars. For financial entrepreneurs who are very willing to spend money, This is already an extremely irrational approach.

Mitsubishi people have withdrawn quite decisively. They may be willing to spend 2 to 3 billion US dollars to build a building, but they will not be so impulsive as to spend an extra 100 to 200 million US dollars to fight for a piece of land that is already overpriced. The market The land with a clear market situation is the same as the wealthy people who are willing to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car but give up because of an unnecessary mandatory fee of hundreds of dollars.

No one wants to be ripped off.

Spending money is one thing, but being cheated is another.

After the auction, I talked with the CEO of Ruilian Group. The cooperation plan that was quickly reached was that Ruilian Group would use 60% of the funds to purchase the land, and Ye Dongqing would pay the remaining part. The investment and construction will also be based on this ratio. It will be built at the same time as the land acquired by the Eruilian Group before, creating a high-end apartment similar to those in South Central Park. Some will be sold to the outside world, and some will be retained to earn rent. The construction height It is expected to be over 350 meters.

It is not too late to discuss these matters later. Mr. McCord of Tamsui Investment Group has already exchanged business cards with the other party and will continue to contact and discuss the matter next time he has the opportunity.

It is a good result for both parties. Whether it is buying land or building, there is no need to spend a large amount of money at once. The construction period may last about five years. Over such a long time, Ye Dongqing has a way to come up with enough money one after another. His wealth is accelerating.

…

Mahi is still on the island.

So after Ye Dongqing stayed in the city hall and chatted with a group of New York celebrities, he arranged for a driver to take her to Manhattan to go shopping together.

After asking her opinion, I also booked tickets for a musical in the evening, "Phantom of the Opera", a very classic old play.

this morning.

Before Ye Dongqing went out, she called a gentleman named Colin Powell and asked him to help solve the problems encountered by Maxi's family.

He is a celebrity now, and what he does must comply with the rules. If some illegal tricks are exposed in private, it will have a huge impact on Ye Dongqing's reputation, and it is likely to remain with him for a lifetime. , so this time we took the formal official route.

Personal connections are becoming more and more widely used. As the fourth successor to the top position in Washington, Mr. Colin Powell must have strength.

He quickly called Ye Dongqing and received news that he had contacted a senior Bruneian official in a private capacity. The other party promised to help and suggested that Mahi apply for asylum in the United States first.

The senior officials in Washington are very happy to have a good relationship with the rich. After all, one of the best destinations for the tough rich and the smooth politicians after leaving their jobs is to act as think tanks for the rich, earning a lot of consulting income every year. In addition, if you are ambitious, the rich can also be of great help. Generally speaking, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages, especially this kind of thing that does not violate justice.

The two of them were sitting and drinking afternoon tea and enjoying pastries.

Unexpectedly, she heard Ye Dongqing say her name to the person on the other end of the phone. Maxi couldn't help but listen carefully, but didn't hear much.

So, after Ye Dongqing hung up the phone, she asked curiously: "Who are you calling? I've seen him?"

"You should have seen it on TV. Secretary Powell, do you know Haji Borgia?"

"How could you not know him? He is our Sultan..."

Mahi guessed something and her eyes suddenly widened.

Ye Dongqing suddenly owed two favors, but it was nothing more than a matter of profit. At most, it would cost her some money to make her happy.

It’s still unclear what will happen, so I asked Mahi to tell her mother to visit the most powerful man in the local area. How should I put it, if it was Mahi’s own trouble, he would definitely be more attentive. Now he has helped This is enough.

************

Nothing much happened for a while after that.

Ye Dongqing went to several places in the United States. While investigating the location of protected areas, she also treated it as a trip. She met with people from several animal and plant protection agencies. She always felt that they were too idealistic and their ideas were good. , but there is no larger-scale plan. If small-scale propaganda is effective, there will not be so much trade in ivory, rhino horn, shark fin, etc. in the world.

Bloomberg Sr. is a mayor who likes to be prudent and prudent, and money that should not be spent will never be wasted. Therefore, when New York announced that it would withdraw from the list of cities bidding for the 2012 Olympic Games, London got it in July as it wished.

At the Athens Olympics in August, Ye Dongqing went to watch several games, mainly the more ornamental sports such as track and field, football, tennis, and rubber boats. After staying in Greece for more than a month, he took the time to go to the place he bought. They live on the island, and a manor is being built on the island.

Not too busy, but not too idle to do anything. This will probably be his normal life in the future. People often say that after the worry of money is gone, 90% of the worries in the world will be solved... This is true. .

For Ye Dongqing, it could probably be higher, about 97%. Anyway, he didn't feel that there was anything unsatisfactory. He took Zhao Liuli around to see that his daughter was being raped by a bunch of people. Senior confinement nuns take care of her, and there is also a small medical team and nutritionist at home.

As for hedge funds, remote operations are enough. Most of them are medium and long-term investments with a return cycle that may last several months or one or two years. The short-term return rate is too low and it is difficult to meet his psychological expectations, so it is also No need to keep an eye on it all the time.

The return rate so far this year is as high as 17%, which is already very impressive, and it may climb to more than 20% by the end of the year. With this kind of performance, investors will not be happy before it is too late, and they will definitely not say anything.

In a blink of an eye, time has entered October.

Ye Dongqing returned to New York from the luxurious villa next to Kensington Palace Gardens in London, and went to Silicon Valley within a few days.

The construction speed of the Cobra Building was faster than expected. It is already about 100 meters tall and is still far away from completion. Under such circumstances, Ye Dongqing's net worth has exceeded 46 billion US dollars, successfully surpassing Mr. Buffett. Mainly due to a wave of rising Internet industry prices, Facebook's performance has soared after subdividing the advertising field, and its development in the global market has also been very smooth.

On the last day of October, he received a good news call from Mr. McCord. The other party told Ye Dongqing: "MIH Group has decided to transfer all Tencent shares to us, 34.4% of the shares, the selling price For 573 million U.S. dollars, there is still a chance to regret it..."
