Wall Street Legend

Successfully fell into a state of entanglement, mainly because he was thinking about how to torture that guy to make himself happy.

From a logical point of view, the other party had to trap Ye Dongqing first, and then he could reasonably take revenge. However, the other party had nothing to do with him in this life. Even standing in front of Todd Hankins, he didn't know who Ye Dongqing was.

The normal process is from victimization to revenge, but now that the previous link is missing, it's like Ye Dongqing is actively bullying that guy, and it's "for no reason". It makes me feel aggrieved no matter how much I think about it.

I don’t want to just let it go. As for how heavy the attack will be, I need to think about it again...

The next afternoon, after signing the will, I went to have it notarized, which took place at Baker McKenzie Law Firm.

After finishing this small matter, Ye Dongqing was about to go to the company to take a look. A bald old lawyer suddenly came over and whispered: "Leo, right? I received news that someone is eyeing your Facebook and I'm going to file a lawsuit." It infringes."

This sentence confused Ye Dongqing. He stretched out his hand and said, "It's me. Who are you?"

"Memor Hartman is a senior partner in Baker McKenzie's New York department and also serves as a senior vice president. What he just said is true. A... friend leaked the information after he was drunk. By the way, By the way, according to my guess, the other party should be someone hired by Google."

After Ye Dongqing heard the word "Google", he immediately believed that it was really happening. The two companies did not have much competition before. They were just competing for advertising vendors, which was fair competition.

But things will be different next. Google started developing a social platform similar to Facebook a few months ago. Calculating the time, it should be put into use soon. If Facebook is not killed or crippled, it will be difficult for their own products to take the lead. Putting himself in his shoes, Ye Dongqing felt that if he were a shareholder of Google, he would also choose to take action against Facebook, which has nothing to do with him.

In May, Google tried to raise funds for FB, but Ye Dongqing didn't agree at that time. Now the disadvantage of not having a partner has been highlighted, and it is impossible to form a patent check and balance with Google. If they really get hold of something, he will be in a lot of trouble. in a passive situation.

Entrepreneurship is not like this. Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps. A few years ago, Google was also a small shrimp. Now it has grown into a shark and started a series of mergers and acquisitions. Peripheral products based on the browser business are also Coming online one after another.

He asked the most important question: "So, will your friend also happen to tell you what they are trying to sue my company for?"

"You are a valued customer of our company, not Google. Although I want to help you, he only disclosed this information to us. You should arrange a review to see if there is any infringement of Google or other companies' patents." Mei After Mo Hartman finished speaking, he patted Ye Dongqing's shoulder and strode away.

To be honest, Ye Dongqing felt that he couldn't believe everything the old man said. He probably didn't tell all the news. Thinking about it carefully, it was right. If there were no disputes, how could this law firm make money? It is said that lawyers love clients who are prone to causing trouble, which means a lot of money.

Rather believe it, call Mr. Alfred decisively and ask him to arrange the most comprehensive and detailed internal review to avoid crossing the patent red line. The Internet industry is also in deep water. With the development of science and technology, there are countless messy patents. 100,000 messages, even just because of a small problem, will put FB in trouble.

On the way back to Puchuan Tower in the car, Ye Dongqing came up with the most direct way to kill FB - using patents to ban its use globally. A ban of ten days and a half would be enough to ban all current users. All rushed into the arms of Google.

Now that news of lawsuits has begun to spread, I believe that we are not far away from getting a court summons. There is no point in worrying now. We can only wait for Google to take action first, and simply stop thinking about it.

I was used to smooth sailing in the past, but now the benefits are starting to be so great that they make others jealous, and I guess there will be a lot of minor troubles.

It has been some time since Ms. Vigo started her own business. The company they partnered with is called "Atlantic Medical Fund". As the name suggests, it mainly invests in pharmaceutical stocks, which has been a hot industry recently.

Following Ye Dongqing's example, he distributed leaflets and gave speeches everywhere, trying to attract investors with a 6% return rate. Several partners personally went to the battle, specifically selecting those states that were relatively backward, and even offered small sums of several hundred dollars. They accepted all the investments, and after working for more than a month, they actually got more than two million US dollars.

Unlike fresh water funds, their return rate is not guaranteed, with a maximum of 6%. If they lose, it is the investors' own losses, and they have to pay management fees and transaction fees. There is nothing they can do about it. Ms. Vigo did not have the confidence to make money as crazy as Ye Dongqing, and she did not even dare to touch futures, so she had to find ways to increase her income.

Similarly, Mr. Bernard Madoff, the current chairman of Nasdaq, is also raising funds at a high rate of return and starting his business two years ago. His Madoff company is known as "the three largest companies in the Nasdaq stock market". "One of the brokerage companies that provides listing consulting," the third largest brokerage company on the New York Stock Exchange. Through past contacts, it has easily raised more than 4 billion U.S. dollars, with a return rate of more than 14% in the past two years.

Tamsui Investment Group is much worse than it, but the former is supported by profits, while the latter is a pure Ponzi scheme, using the money of new investors to pay dividends. This point of no return successfully scares Bernard · Madoff, because he has caused a loss of more than 500 million US dollars, which is more than twice his entire net worth.

Recently, Ye Dongqing's name came into the old man's sight, so much so that the old man thought that he, like himself, was also playing tricks to cheat money. He had no idea of ​​​​investigating carefully, so he just talked casually and said in the interview that he needed to be wary of this kind of high-yield scam. The financial products seemed to be stepping on Ye Dongqing in an attempt to divert the host's attention.

After this program was broadcast, Tamsui Investment Group suddenly experienced a divestment crisis. The total amount was not large. More than three million US dollars were withdrawn in advance by investors in just one day. If his subordinates had not told Ye Dongqing, he would not have known about it. This is the case.

At this moment.

The new CEO, Mr. McCord, sat opposite him. After hearing the ins and outs, Ye Dongqing laughed and shook his head: "Old man... don't worry, I will take the time to talk to Mr. Madoff. If nothing else, he should agree to apologize to me.

You first have someone write an announcement accusing him of his false claims, and release the performance and current total assets for them to see, just like the financial report of a listed company..."
