Wall Street Legend

Chapter 277 Customized Drama (24)

Those who are younger than Ye Dongqing are not as rich as him, and those who are richer than him are not as young as him. Last year, people often compared the young Gates, current Google founders Larry Page and Sergey B. Lin Lai compared him. It is undeniable that young people nowadays prefer Ye Dongqing. After all, he currently owns the largest online social platform in the world. This makes many young people think that he is cool and more like a person with a better temper. The younger version of Mr. Larry Ellison is also a famous playboy.

No way, although Ye Dongqing is also very successful in the financial field, when people mention him, they mainly talk about Facebook, so they default to classifying him as a person like the Silicon Valley technology tycoons, and always compare him to They make comparisons.

The price of land in Manhattan has exceeded expectations by a large margin, which has caused the total cost of building a building to soar to about 25 to 3 billion U.S. dollars. It is obviously not cost-effective to continue to raise money for building a building. The annual return rate is 9%, and the land price The rate of increase is definitely not that high, and it is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it. Maybe by the time the building is built, you will have already paid interest equivalent to the total cost of the building.

After thinking about it for a while, Ye Dongqing came up with a good way to get the best of both worlds. He could first take out a mortgage loan from the bank for the land and building. The interest rate would not be as high as when raising funds by himself, and it could also satisfy his little hobby, a few days in advance. When we acquired the building in 2010, the interest expense was nothing to mention considering the possible returns on those investments.

Among the three plots of land currently available, he immediately fell in love with the one located in South Central Park. It is surrounded by high-end office buildings and high-end apartments. Putting the building in this core area of ​​Manhattan, it seems likely that it will Very cool.

Angelina didn't notice that Ye Dongqing was distracted, and said: "The price of the land is so high, so how much will the apartment inside be sold for? If you have money then, can you give me a discount?"

"Of course, but I don't plan to sell the apartment or office building. I will only rent it, not sell it. All the assets of the entire building will be transferred to my family charitable trust fund in the future. This is a high-quality asset that can continuously create wealth. It is very likely that It stood on Manhattan Island for a hundred years, and was demolished and rebuilt until it was no longer viable.

Wait a moment, please help me take a look at the design of the building. I want to know how this building looks from a female perspective, but it is best to keep the shape of the building a secret for now. The design draft is not finished yet, there is only a first draft now. "

Ye Dongqing didn't care at all. He sat down at his desk, opened his computer and opened his mailbox. After finding the picture, he enlarged it and invited Angelina to help him refer to it.

Like other people who saw this building for the first time, she had a slightly weird expression. After reading it carefully, she said: "I don't know what other women think, but I think this building is very unique, at least it is better than those cookie-cutter ones." The building is so much prettier, wicked and cool.”

"Evil... I'm worried about arousing the resentment of the surrounding residents. It seems like I should be like Mayor Bloomberg and think of a more sacred and positive name for it."

This is not the focus of Angelina's arrival today. She thinks Ye Dongqing is quite interesting, but she has to rush to Europe to participate in an event in the afternoon, which is commonly known as showing your face and making money.

A hotel is opening tomorrow, and the boss is willing to give her 1.5 million euros, just to let her eat and drink at the party, and she can leave after staying for an hour. I can only say that it is not difficult for an A-list actress to make money. For the sake of fame, in When you pay, you have to choose a live agent, which is a relatively easy and high-end business.

So, Angelina reminded Ye Dongqing: "Who should I contact for a movie interview? My agent asked me to contact a Mr. McCord. Where is he?"

"McCord? What kind of movies does that guy know? Please wait here for a moment and I'll help you find him. In fact, I haven't even read what's written in the script. There may be some changes. places, such as adding this building, I want to know what the audience thinks of it, since it will be difficult to start construction for a while, and the project has just begun."

He is not an ordinary person who has never seen the world. He has been in contact with many big figures who stood at the top of the social pyramid, such as Buffett, Bloomberg, and Mrs. Johnson, who were separated by several mountains. After all, I was obsessed with a female star to the point where I couldn't walk anymore, so getting along with her was quite natural.

There was a age difference between the two, so there was no spark at all. However, if Ye Dongqing was really willing to spend time and energy, it would be possible for something to happen. The charm of a billionaire has transcended race and age, not to mention Ye Dongqing thinks that she has a good temper, and her appearance is also good.

Go to Mr. McCord's office in person, tell him about the arrival of Angelina Jolie, and also ask for the script of the movie that has been planned. The name is "New York Holocaust". Just by looking at the name, you can tell that it is probably about fighting. kind of plot, so it would be very suitable for Angelina to star.

I read the introduction first. It mainly tells the story of a female CIA agent who was suspended from duty and was involved in a dispute outside her home. She ran to try to prevent the explosion of a nuclear bomb. That's pretty much it.

Ye Dongqing's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he was worried that his investment might be in vain. However, the plot that had been filmed in the second decade of the 21st century was still very new in 2004, a disaster movie. It is a popular theme in this era. After all, the ruins of the Twin Towers have just been cleared, and the shadow has not faded yet.

He shook the script and told Mr. McCord: "You should ask me first before hiring someone to write the script. In fact, I have a lot of good movie ideas in my mind. If I didn't really like these green dollar bills, maybe I would I can still go to Hollywood to be a qualified director or screenwriter, so it shouldn’t be a big problem to kill Mr. Spielberg.”

"Really? It only costs about 100,000 yuan to hire someone to write a script. Maybe you should talk to those screenwriters and write out the things in your head, and then set up a film and television company. The profit can be several times the investment. , I heard it’s quite profitable.”

Mr. McCord only thought Ye Dongqing was joking, so he joked too.

Ye Dongqing didn't defend anything. He occasionally watched movies and TV series, and there were still many impressions in his mind. He continued: "It is unlikely that this kind of script will focus on our company's products. It should be used The theme of cybercrime is appropriate. The protagonist is a military network expert, and then uses various messages to prevent destruction, or to find his missing daughter, etc. Many scenes can stay on our company's products, and we can also use this Promoting network security knowledge is very meaningful.”

After thinking about it for a while, Mr. McCord realized that there seemed to be something going on, and flattered him: "Both of these themes are good. Maybe you can really be a screenwriter, but the script you have is also very good, and the scenes of product placement are all good." Marked in red, there are so many that it will definitely surprise you..."
