Wall Street Legend

Mr. McCord felt that Ye Dongqing should calm down a little and think carefully about whether he could withstand such a big risk, but Ye Dongqing knew that there was no need to think about it anymore. There was already about an 80% chance of winning, and it was worth the gamble. A bet.

Before the brokers came, people from Boeing came first. After asking about their needs, they called the headquarters and told them that they could modify the new 747-400 passenger aircraft and turn it into a mobile sky hotel. , provided that funds are in place, the renovation will cost at least 20 to 30 million US dollars. Boeing has rich experience in renovation, such as "Air Force One", "Air Force Two" and so on.

First, the order was finalized. It was said that several designers would be sent over to discuss the layout, interior style, etc. After all, his name entered the top 100 of the Forbes rich list. No one doubted that Ye Dongqing could not afford the money to buy the plane. , I can only express my regrets about Airbus. The delivery time has been delayed again and again, and it is obviously not treated as an important customer. Boeing's delivery time is one year, and Boeing has to wait about four years. How to choose? think?

Wealth is growing faster than expected. Now we can sacrifice some long-term interests and use it to improve our lives. There are many places where private jets can be used for travel, business discussions, schooling, etc. Although taking ordinary passenger planes is convenient, it is not safe. , privacy, etc. are not as good as private jets after all.

After the conversation, he stayed in the office to deal with work matters. He was used to being lazy in Hawaii and had a headache when faced with a large pile of documents. After logging into his mailbox and reading the plan sent by Boni Ma, he wrote in English eloquently Two to three thousand words, reply to some of the questions.

The reason why he didn’t use Chinese was because he didn’t know Chinese Pinyin and couldn’t write some words. Growing up in New York, it was difficult for him to receive a comprehensive Chinese education. Students in American schools didn’t teach Chinese Pinyin, even in Chinatown. The most commonly used fonts are traditional Chinese characters. Some traditional cultures that have gradually disappeared across the Pacific have been preserved with the migration of Chinese in the past two to three hundred years. Ye Dongqing can speak Mandarin and understand most simplified Chinese characters. Even if They are a relatively good type of Chinese Americans.

Judging from the current performance of Tencent, it is worth letting him invest more energy. Maybe he can help support development now and surprise Ye Dongqing in the future. The online shopping industry has just developed in this era. If it enters the market quickly, users can If you accept an operating model similar to Amazon, it shouldn't be a big problem to earn thirty or fifty Boeing 747s.

Compared to the fiercely competitive United States, not many people paid attention to the Internet industry in China at the beginning of 2004. Considering the possible profit prospects, Ye Dongqing felt that he should pay more attention in the near future and invest in a few more companies of his own. I know the name of the small company. Compared with the industrial giants in the United States who can easily reach hundreds of billions of dollars, there are no Internet companies in China with a market value of more than one billion US dollars, and they are still very short of funds. This is where he comes in. Opportunity.

Look at Tencent. It is not listed yet, but with the surge in performance last year, the money he invested has at least doubled. If he wants to list on Nasdaq, he can do it at any time, but there is no need to go public for financing yet. As shares are diluted, unnecessary losses are suffered in vain.

Compared with investing in already successful giants, investing in small companies is more profitable. This is Ye Dongqing’s advantage. He clearly knows which companies’ models are easy to succeed, and can also provide development ideas and financial help. It is not obvious yet. A lot of stuff, not a lot. Wait another five years or so, and when these companies start to bloom everywhere, the profits will be considerable...

Golden Island Financial Management Company continues to lay off employees and has issued multiple announcements recently. This makes Kanike, who has just won a golden job, start to worry. As one of the oldest employees of Danshui Fund, Ye Dongqing sent him to California to develop the market. , raised a lot of money last year, and he took more than two million US dollars in commission alone.

After discovering that something was wrong, he decisively ran back to New York to try to get more information. He was worried that the channels he had finally built would disappear with the company's policy adjustments. Originally, he thought he could make money for five or ten years, and even did it. Having dreamed of becoming a multi-millionaire, how could he not worry about losing his job?

When Ye Dongqing saw him appear at the door of the office, he walked over to greet him enthusiastically. Last year, he raised more than one billion U.S. dollars from California, becoming one of the company's most important sources of funds. Coupled with the old relationship, the relationship between them Relatively close.

He asked, "Kanike, why are you back? How is the business going over there?"

"It's not bad. I often meet with the bosses and fund managers in person, and there are several big deals being discussed."

Speaking tactfully is not the American style. Kanek asked directly: "I heard that the branches in Texas and Rhode Island were directly cut off. What is going on? God, I Are you about to lose your job? Do you know how hard I worked last year? Every time I give lessons to salesmen, I always say that my throat is hoarse and I need to rest for a few days to get better. How can I just say it’s over?”

"...Do you remember that when the Freshwater Fund was first established, I said that I would take it even if I had 10 billion US dollars?"

"Well, what happens next?" Kanak didn't know why.

Ye Dongqing shrugged and spread his hands, "The scale is close to tens of billions of dollars. I no longer need that much money. Your worries are not necessary at the moment. If I really plan to cut off the California project, I will definitely inform you. There is no such thing yet." There will be no plans for it for at least one year, so you can live happily for one more year and strive to get more bonuses and commissions.

"Okay, then I have to work very hard this year. After I finish this job, I can retire directly. I want to save money to buy a small piece of land in Monterey Bay and live a self-sufficient life from now on."

Our company is different from other fund companies. We return so much fixed interest every year. It’s really stressful to have more money. I can understand your approach. Since you are planning to cut it off, in order to make up for my pain, can you add an extra thousand to the commission? One part? Increase it to three thousandths? "

They hadn't seen each other for a long time. When they met, they talked about a salary increase. Ye Dongqing found it funny, but he didn't feel disgusted with it.

I have been through the entrepreneurial experience with myself. Many people left at that time, but Kanike chose to stay. Now that the company is successful, it is not too much to make a small request. When he arrived in California last year, he was given two people and some starters. There is nothing to say about funds and work ability.

"Okay, I'll tell the finance department later. Why do you think of retiring at such a young age? Most people leave, but you can still come back and continue working."

"No, no, no, if I save another two million dollars or so, I can achieve financial freedom, of course, the kind that only maintains a low level of daily expenses.

But I can live the life I like, go fishing and grow vegetables every day, and then work when I want to work. It would be best to open a cafe and be my own boss. I will sell my house in New York..."
