Wall Street Legend

"How about I donate 10 million US dollars to Columbia University just like I donated to Dalton School and let them continue to admit you?" Ye Dongqing asked her.

Laura was surprised and excited, her big eyes were shining, and she said: "Really!?"

"Just dream, why do you have to spend ten million dollars? Do you think an academic certificate is worth so much money?"

Without hesitation, Laura made a judgment in her heart instantly, and sighed: "It's not worth it. Maybe many Columbia University graduates will not make so much money in their lifetime."

"It's impossible. More than 95% of students can't make it, unless the dollar becomes worthless one day in the future. But if you really want to go to college, I will help you find a way. I don't have time to deal with it recently. These are still early in the admissions season anyway.”

Putting aside everything else, that intimate relationship alone was enough for Ye Dongqing to choose to help her. It was easy to get those schools to ignore this criminal record. They just spent money to find some connections and spread her image through the Internet and the media. Just a little bit of shaping and change will be enough, such as making it a model for students who have made mistakes to reform. I believe those universities are willing to ride on this popularity and show their open and inclusive stance.

Laura is not as smart as Ye Dongqing, her expression is doubtful, and her tone is doubtful: “Can you do it?”

"Huh? If you dare to question me again, just handle it yourself. Maybe a community college will agree to admit you. Please hurry up and please me..."

The next morning.

Little Edward sent a negotiation team as promised, and Ye Dongqing also hurriedly invited a lawyer who was proficient in commercial terms to help and communicate on specific cooperation matters.

It seems that the other party has decided to invest in Ye Dongqing, otherwise he would not be so bored that he would send someone over to entertain him. Both parties have made some demands. The issues mainly focus on financial supervision, profit distribution, risk control, etc., which must be dealt with first. OK, try to avoid disputes in the future.

There are many details of the cooperation that need to be discussed. Last night, Kanike had already drafted a detailed rule according to the wishes of his little boss. Ye Dongqing felt that it was useless and had to be accepted by little Edward.

The negotiations lasted from nine o'clock in the morning to noon. Ye Dongqing personally participated in the battle. He drank three cups of strong coffee one after another because of his thirsty mouth. The situation gradually tilted in the direction he wanted to see.

During lunch, someone reported the situation to Little Edward, and in the afternoon they drafted an agreement. In order to allow time for lawyers from both parties to review various terms, the formal signing was moved to the next day.

According to the provisions of the contract, within five days after the two parties sign the agreement, a total of 60 million US dollars will be transferred to a new company, and the right to speak will be handed over to Ye Dongqing. Little Edward only has the right to know and has to decide how to invest. Listen to Ye Dongqing's arrangements.

Compared with Little Edward, Ye Dongqing undoubtedly has a longer-term vision.

Therefore, compared with the "petty profit" in front of him, Ye Dongqing hopes to make concessions in the early stage and refuse to give in in the later stage. For example, one of the regulations stipulates that if the after-tax profit does not reach 120 million US dollars within three years, all capital will be lost. The money and profits belong to Little Edward. After the amount is exceeded, they will be distributed according to the ratio of 40 to 60, with Little Edward getting 60%.

After that, when the after-tax profits exceed 200 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing is entitled to half of the total income. After the after-tax profits exceed 500 million US dollars, he can get 60% of them. As for those with more than 1 billion US dollars 70% of the after-tax profits belong to him.

The highest is only a 70% dividend. In fact, neither Edward Jr. nor the small team members he hired think that the terms after 500 million US dollars are meaningful, because they don't think Ye Dongqing can earn that much money. I don’t think I will keep investing.

According to Little Edward's idea, wait until two or three years later to see the profits. If you think it's not bad, you can withdraw. If the performance is not good, you will have to withdraw the capital. There is no need to spend it slowly with Ye Dongqing, so I agreed readily.

Not everyone is like Ye Dongqing, who sets his sights more than ten years later, then looks at the current problems, and then decides how to invest. Both parties are using each other, and each has their own ideas. The same thing is that they both want to maximize their own interests, and they also do not think that this cooperation will last too long.

Mr. Kanak was there the whole time. After the gang left, Ye Dongqing talked with him about the use of the funds. In the early stage, they would still focus on the crude oil futures market, which was the most likely to make a large sum of money quickly. money.

“So far, our long orders have earned more than 13 million U.S. dollars. Boss, are you sure there is room for growth in the future?

The price of crude oil futures has reached the high point after our last sell-off. Recently, there have been many voices that are bearish on oil. If we lose such a large sum of money, we will be miserable. Maybe the recent gains will be offset by the losses. Investment Long orders are fine, but I don’t recommend depositing all your funds, and you must be prepared to stop losses at any time. I know you never like to think about failure, but investing is not about winning and losing. I must tell you these things in advance. ! "

When Kanak heard Ye Dongqing say that he was going all-in again, he became excited on the spot. He was very worried about the recent drop in crude oil prices. Compared with September last year, oil prices have risen by about 20%, and the so-called war is still limited to a few people. There is no sign of real commitment in words.

As time enters the 21st century, Ye Dongqing's prediction of a full-scale attack on a country by the United States is almost impossible to come true. The reason is that the implications are too great and the price is very high. Once the status quo continues to be maintained in the future, oil prices will be very high. Come back down quickly.

The only good news currently supporting the rise in oil futures is that Washington wants to change the status quo and seek geopolitical interests thousands of miles away.

Betting on the long position now is like dancing on the edge of a knife. The risk is too high. This morning, Kanike even suggested that he sell part of the futures contract first and be safe.

Ye Dongqing, the company's chief steward, is good at everything, but his structure is not big and his vision is too narrow. Mostly because he has never seen the big world, he always feels timid and constrained when it comes to such large investments.

He agreed to consider it, but would never really sell it in the short term. Since he wanted to bet, he had to bet to the end. There was still more than three dollars of room to rise from his psychological price. At this time, he smiled and shook his head: "When will I let you Have you been disappointed? Trust me again. As long as we make money this time, we will really make a lot of money. We will definitely give you a generous year-end bonus by then. Just remember to help me manage the company well. There are too many things to consider. , have no time to take care of ordinary business."

Compared with a business like crude oil futures, warrants are no longer exciting in Ye Dongqing's eyes, mainly because the results can be estimated before investing, and he cannot be sure of the fluctuations in crude oil prices. It is more like a game. Gambling is addictive.

He couldn't feel it before, but after he really came into contact with this industry, he understood why so many Wall Street elites like to find ways to find excitement, or to numb themselves through certain means. There is countless money involved behind every decision, which will make People go crazy.

"You don't need to worry about the Freshwater Fund. It's in very good condition at the moment." Kanek said. He wanted to give more advice, but knowing that the young boss was not the kind of person who liked to listen to opinions, he simply went on. He swallowed back all the words he wanted to say, worry written on his face.

Meeting an opinionated boss is certainly a good thing, and being greedy is often a good quality on Wall Street. However, everything has its own limits. He feels that Ye Dongqing is too arrogant, and is worried that success in the past may not necessarily lead to success in the future.

Examples of people who have worked hard to accumulate for so long and then lose all their capital and interest in a short period of time are constantly happening on Wall Street. There will always be a day when luck runs out.

Fortunately, Ye Dongqing is not relying entirely on luck.

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

Laura has officially begun serving her sentence.

When Ye Dongqing met her in the hotel, the girl even showed her electronic shackles for him to see. In the next two months, all of Laura's activities will be recorded.

Not to mention a sense of restraint, not everyone can enjoy such good treatment. For this reason, Ye Dongqing also reached a long-term cooperative relationship with that law firm and officially hired them to help him and several companies handle various legal matters. Such problems, the cost is not much less, the service quality is absolutely nothing to say.

The second largest law firm in the United States, this title alone is enough to scare away a large number of opponents who are not strong enough. The legal system in the United States is relatively sound, and it is indispensable to deal with lawyers when doing business. As a result, people often spurn the evil lawyers, but at the same time have to Pay money to come to your door and ask them for help.

"I brought you a pizza and some sandwiches. There is a small refrigerator in the hotel room, right? When you are hungry, you can ask the waiter to heat it for you, or you can just order room service. If you are really bored, I will The girl comes to talk to you."

"Grace is still studying, right? The tutor has gone over to teach her?"

Having just been restricted to the vicinity of Trump Tower, it meant that Laura could no longer return to her apartment on Wall Street at will. The distance was far more than three kilometers, and she would have to spend a long period of time nearby. Thinking of this, she would feel uncomfortable. patient.

"Well, there are still more than two months before school starts. By then, she will enter school. She cannot know anything. Whether it is history, vocabulary, arithmetic, etc., she will not be as good as children of the same age who study normally.

Fortunately, Grace is smarter and believes that part of the gap can be shortened before school starts. If that doesn't work, she can go to the lower grades for a while. Anyway, for a Chinese girl of her age, it's hard to tell her true age. "

Ye Dongqing placed the pizza box on the coffee table by the window and put the remaining food in the refrigerator. At a height of more than 20 floors, he could still clearly hear the traffic passing by on Fifth Avenue. The glass exterior wall was relatively thick, so the noise was at a low level. within acceptable range
