Wall Street Legend

Chapter 146 Bloomberg (14)

Humility only belongs to the super rich who are not short of fame. Before they become famous, if they want to gain the respect of the upper class, they just have to show off and show off.

If you don’t attract attention and recognition from others, who will know who you are? How to make friends? The saying that money comes first is not just a simple statement.

Ye Dongqing is Chinese. He knows that if he wants to squeeze into the upper class circles of the United States, he must work harder than others. Needless to say, the importance of the network of contacts. Last time, the Securities and Exchange Commission was prepared to fine him heavily, but Ms. Johnson only However, after saying hello, the other party calmly gave up pursuing him. This was proof of his strength and connections.

Since he is involved in business in the United States, he has to deal with those guys, so he will not miss any high-end parties in the near future. It is necessary to quickly build up contacts, which may be able to help him in the future... …

Wearing a close-fitting and comfortable black suit, the shoes on his feet are handmade from crocodile leather, which is naturally textured. This ferocious animal is almost overrun in the southern United States. There are millions of them in Florida alone. Only extreme animal rights activists care.

Laura was wearing a backless evening dress, and she originally had a coat outside. She gave it to the hotel attendant to help store it before entering the venue. She didn’t know how to put her hair up, and she didn’t have time to do a special hairstyle. At this moment, her slightly curly hair was hanging on her head. On her shoulders, just over her shoulders.

She held Ye Dongqing's arm, and she would have felt guilty if she had attended a party of this level last time. Now as Ye Dongqing's wealth continues to skyrocket, and having been in contact with this new billionaire for a long time, Laura no longer feels anything. No big deal, they are just normal humans.

Little Edward caught a glimpse of Ye Dongqing from the corner of his eye. He was not going to let go of the opportunity to laugh, and asked loudly: "Crude oil will soon exceed forty dollars a barrel. If you hold the order from that time until now, you can earn nearly With 400 million US dollars, it must be difficult to sleep recently, right?”

The people around him all had smiles on their faces, full of schadenfreude. It seemed that little Edward had already told them how Ye Dongqing missed the rising period perfectly, causing him to lose a lot of money.

“Wait until you put the profits in your pocket and then laugh at me. In fact, I just sold crude oil futures orders worth 800 million US dollars, and I am waiting to pay them back with the minimum amount of money soon.

Yes, I have become bearish on oil prices. Since you helped me earn more than 40 million U.S. dollars, I advise you to stop. If my suggestion proves to be correct, you only need to give me a thousand dollars. A $10,000 consulting fee is enough, otherwise you may give up hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. "

Ye Dongqing walked and talked without any intention of chatting with little Edward. She also spoke loudly, deliberately letting people around her hear her.

A middle-aged Jew standing not far away asked his friend in a low voice: "Are young people so powerful nowadays that their profits are calculated in hundreds of millions? I know the fat man from the Johnson family, but who is that young Chinese?"

There were several people standing next to him, and a guy with knowledge told him: "A student from a not-so-famous high school, he made a lot of money on his own. I heard others talk about him, and his story has been published in the New York Times. It is said that he has been in the New York Times recently. He made a lot of money through crude oil futures and is a billionaire.”

"My son mentioned him to me. Recently, many universities are using a program he created. My son is very optimistic about the investment potential, but unfortunately he is unwilling to accept financing."

"I am really unwilling to accept financing. I heard that Bill Gates' family office, Waterfall Investment, wanted to invest in that Internet company. The growth rate simply surprised me..."

Hearing these fragmentary news, the middle-aged Jewish man showed a surprised expression, which caused Ye Dongqing's status in his mind to instantly rise a lot. In the fields of crude oil futures and the Internet, it is already very good for ordinary people to make achievements in one area.

With his net worth soaring, Ye Dongqing also gained the confidence to socialize everywhere.

The guests present are generally over thirty-five years old, and there are also many gray-haired old men and women. Those who are qualified to be invited by Goldman Sachs Group are either rich or noble, and they often achieve success only after they are older.

Looking at the entire audience, apart from Laura standing next to him, he was probably the youngest.

At this time, he saw a celebrity in the crowd. Ye Dongqing took a glass of champagne and walked over. He said to the tall man in front of him, who was surrounded by many guests: "It's an honor to meet you in person, Mayor Bloomberg. His name is Leo Ye, the founder of Tamsui Investment Group and the Internet company Facebook."

"I know who you are. I saw it in the newspaper. My old friend Nash also mentioned you. He is your teacher, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Nash taught me mathematics. He wanted to help me ask you for a letter of recommendation for admission. I'm very grateful to him."

"Haha! Nash is a good man. He hasn't had much contact recently, but he and I have been friends since childhood, and we are still now. For an outstanding young man like you, no matter which university is now competing to admit you, he no longer needs my recommendation. I'm sure of that," Mayor Bloomberg said.

The current mayor of New York City is quite famous because he was a super-rich man with a net worth of over 10 billion before he became mayor. For Mr. Bloomberg, money has completely become a number and he only receives one dollar a year from the city hall. And by commuting by subway, it's relatively easy to get along with me.

Ye Dongqing really wanted to ask him to write a recommendation letter for Laura. If he could get a recommendation letter from Mayor Bloomberg, almost all American universities would no longer refuse to admit Laura with stains on her body. People will look down on the mayor of New York, let alone offend an extremely rich man for such a trivial matter. Putting aside other schools, it is almost a certainty to get into Columbia University in Manhattan.

It's a pity that the two of them didn't have a close friendship, and this occasion was not suitable for talking about that kind of thing. After a few simple chats to refresh their faces, he took his leave without interrupting their conversation.

The time has already entered March, and American colleges and universities will start accepting applications in a month or two. Ye Dongqing hasn't helped solve Laura's matter yet, but Ye Dongqing has been keeping it in mind.

Lack of introductions from others makes it difficult to integrate. In the final analysis, the number of interactions is too few. Tonight is only the second time in a few months. I chatted with a senior partner of Goldman Sachs, and then he took out a stick from his breast pocket. Cigar came out and took Laura to the corridor to rest for a while.

Exhaling a big mouthful of white mist, he asked Laura: "It's a boring party, isn't it? When I become more powerful and richer than Mr. Bloomberg, those women will just compete to make friends with you. Now they If you have a small circle, you may have known each other for a long time, so you will be relatively bored.”

Laura wanted to want to rely on her own efforts to gain recognition, but this idea swirled in her head and was rejected by herself first.

There is no confidence at all that he can succeed. There is still some hope for an annual salary of two to three hundred thousand US dollars. How much higher? I can't even think about it...
