Wall Street Legend

Chapter 444 Hidden Wealth

Seduced by the pie drawn by Ye Dongqing, a group of shareholders were furious and united to question Bezos.

This happened after he left. Different from the suggestions of employees, there were more major shareholders who raised objections. It was no wonder that Bezos didn’t give it more consideration. What’s more, the threat of Ye Dongqing’s liquidation was very lethal, which meant that he will no longer be optimistic about Amazon, and Ye Dongqing’s influence on investors is now obvious.

I don’t know who had the bad idea to report this transaction to the media, accusing Amazon managers of choosing to merge for profit and harming the interests of Walmart employees, which directly led to inquiries from the Securities and Exchange Commission. , the stock prices of both companies fell, especially Wal-Mart's management, which was criticized miserably by investors.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not a dirty trick used by Ye Dongqing. If he takes action, the power will definitely not be limited to this, and he will not use this method as an entry point.

Some secret things have been brought to light, and it is difficult to say whether the transaction will proceed. However, due to the strong opposition of some shareholders of Wal-Mart, it is estimated that it will be impossible to proceed in the original way.

As soon as Ye Dongqing received the news, he sent someone to say hello to the Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that Wal-Mart was trying to use profits to bribe Amazon employees, and hoped to give a warning and thoroughly investigate this practice that may harm other shareholders.

This may cause some estrangement from Bezos, but it's not a big deal. He is no longer a poor kid from Chinatown who needs to rely on others to make a living...

Things almost passed like this. In the next half month or so, I heard nothing about the merger, but I also didn’t hear anyone gave up the decision to try the merger. Whether it succeeded or not was temporarily ambiguous.

Apple here.

As expected, Jobs made a more thorough arrangement this time.

After the release of the new iPhone 2, the new product went on sale on August 1st. I tried the sweetness of hunger marketing. The first batch of shipments was still only 200,000 units, and they were all sold out within a few minutes. The first The first success can be said to be accidental, and the second time will probably not be an accident.

Seeing new products with more comprehensive functions and more advanced performance directly caused Apple's stock price to rise sharply on Nasdaq. People know that Apple has established its brand and occupies an absolute leading position in the field of smartphones, so the increase is quite astonishing. The market value has reached 85 billion US dollars in a short period of time. In Ye Dongqing’s view, this iPhone 2 is better than the iPhone 3G in his impression. Except for the screen, it almost reaches the performance of the iPhone 4 in his impression. The next generation The product may surpass that. It is estimated that Apple's market value will exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars. It is not a long time ago and may be reached in the fourth quarter of this year.

One step behind, every step behind.

Ye Dongqing launched an operating system named Android and chose partners on a paid basis. The current price is not high, but the price may increase in the future. He will learn from Microsoft and make money by selling operating systems.

He struggled with this for a while between free and paid. What really made him decide to choose the paid model was that there was no competitor at all on the market. Wouldn't it be stupid not to make money under such a premise?

He is creating a new business model for mobile operating systems. If he chooses to charge a fee, most newcomers will also charge. In addition, once people are familiar with it, they will not change it easily and would rather spend an extra ten dollars or so. The licensing price is included in the selling price of the whole machine anyway, so it is not obvious.

Knowing that even if he had a monopoly, other technologies would emerge, he discussed it with Jobs and finally decided to join forces to grant some technology licenses to other manufacturers on a paid basis. While ensuring Apple's leading position, he also strived to maximize profits. Profits can be invested in research and development to continue to maintain a leading position.

Baseband chips and processors are developed in partnership with other companies, and Apple also owns part of the patents. Under Ye Dongqing's planning, it is difficult for anyone to choke on them. This is the advantage of another life, taking advantage of everything. He settled the accounts, ensuring his own interests while also providing benefits to others. Only through win-win cooperation can we go further.

Apple is only part of its huge business landscape. As for Facebook and Youtube, which are jointly listed, as the market stabilized for a period of time, stimulated by a series of good news, the stock prices began to rise.

Under such circumstances, Ye Dongqing announced in a low-key manner that he would donate 30% of his shares in Tamsui Investment Group. He had no choice but to make the donation, and his net worth would soon exceed 200 billion US dollars.

Another wave of big market conditions is coming, and the stock prices of various companies have risen beyond expectations. This wave of market conditions may continue for a long time. It may be a good idea to donate early. Some people are already jealous of him. Some time ago, there were even extreme haters of the rich who donated money to him. After sending bombs, the security level went up two levels, almost to the point of perversion.

To be able to make money, you must also be able to spend money. In recent years, Ye Dongqing has quietly established a smart home research institute and an autonomous driving technology research institute, and decided to give away a non-profit stadium to New Yorkers, as well as more social welfare aspects. of donations.

People hate the rich man because he knows how to behave. In fact, most people have a good impression of him. Many young people regard him as their idol to imitate. His image is even printed on the clothes of environmentalists. And on the hat.

Under this circumstance, he began to shift his attention to the education of his children, mainly his daughter Ye Ying, to spend more time with her.

The summer vacation is not over yet, Zhao Liuli will take time to take care of this little guy. Her grades after entering high school are still good. In July, she was even taken by Ye Dongqing to "intern" at Tamsui Investment Group for a period of time, helping with some work and earning pocket money. .

In the next period of time, small things happened constantly, and there were almost no big things. There were indeed very few things that Ye Dongqing could treat as big things.

His global hot news website has gradually shifted its focus to current affairs, and has long uncovered the misuse of funds in the Pentagon. Someone there once wanted him to die. Although he didn't know who it was, Ye Dongqing didn't want them either. Better yet, with a click-and-click report, once you get started, you can leave the rest to your colleagues. For the sake of their own reputation, there will naturally be reporters who are not afraid of death and will do everything possible to dig out clues.

Ye Dongqing did receive some calls because of this. He just thought that he was passionate and called it justice. At this point, he really had the strength to fight with anyone, not to mention that he didn't do too much and it was no big deal.

Anyone who dares to stand up to him will have to pay a price, so no one is willing to offend him. The richer and more powerful they are, the less willing they are to offend him.

You must know that Ye Dongqing has so much money that he needs to constantly donate to other countries. Currently, he can buy three and a half of a large company like Boeing...
