Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 122 Invitation

  Laura is eating a pizza covered with cheese and pepperoni, which looks delicious just by looking at it.

The voice muttered and said: "Okay, bring her to me when you have time. I have learned all the knowledge she has learned. I have a lot of time recently. I can take the time to teach her some secrets I summed up in school. For example, never Take care of those little boys who only have SE-X in their heads, and don't provoke self-righteous girls, or you will be bullied, etc.

  I didn’t go to a private elementary school, but I think the **** are the same everywhere in the world. Transfer students are the most likely to be bullied. You have to give her a mobile phone so that you can keep track of the situation. And teachers, you can ask those two tutors to help out, and you will be paid ninety dollars an hour, if their heads are right, they will never want to miss the opportunity to make money from you. "

"It seems that you have been bullied by someone before, right? You are so experienced. I know what kind of girls you are describing. In fact, I hate them too. They may not be pretty, but they are very confident. I will definitely prepare a mobile phone Okay, save our phone numbers, so as not to lose contact with you or me for a while."

The campus bullying incidents that people pay attention to often focus on male students who like to bully and cause trouble. In fact, girls are no worse than boys. Laura just left school not long ago, and Ye Dongqing has also witnessed those bad things. Naturally, he was worried that Zhao Liuli would be bullied at that time.

   Judging from Zhao Liuli's quiet personality, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to school. If it doesn't work, she can ask the teacher to help her take care of her.

  Stayed in the hotel for a while, chatting with Laura, then Ye Dongqing went to Wall Street to send Zhao Liuli to learn how to play the guitar.

These small matters can already be handed over to other people. In the past, Laura helped, but now she can’t be counted on. Ye Dongqing came up with the idea of ​​hiring a professional driver, so as not to waste precious time on pick-ups and other things, and the monthly salary can’t be spent For a few dollars, he has already called a headhunting company to find out, preferably one that can work part-time as a bodyguard.

  Based on Ye Dongqing's current wealth, it is enough to be targeted by some villainous guys. It is both stylish and safe to bring a bodyguard when going out, and it can save you from the trouble of driving yourself. How good it is.

   the next day.

Little Edward met Ye Dongqing again. After the two signed the contract, the funds were transferred to the account of Leo-Y company on the spot. This small company was only established some time ago before betting against each other. I didn't expect it to be useful , After contacting the bank, I learned that the money had already been in place, and the cooperation was finalized in this way.

Independent of the Freshwater Fund, Ye Dongqing had another fund that could be manipulated at will, so she hurriedly called Bonnie Ma and told him that she had money to invest again, but she would not be able to call them until five months later. on the account.

  Bonny Ma, as one of the founders of Tencent, has so far been mainly engaged in development and promotion. In terms of experience in dealing with worldly affairs, he still doesn't have much experience.

I was woken up by Ye Dongqing's phone call in the middle of the night, and after hearing that he changed his mind and wanted to invest in his own company, he felt as if he was amusing himself, so his tone was inevitably a little angry: "I understand what you mean, I can wait for a month, but you're sure you won't change your mind, right?"

   Ye Dongqing did not do it properly. Some time ago, he told Boney that he could only invest about 20 million US dollars, which almost led to the failure of the plan to acquire Sohu.

Because Tencent does not have much capital, unless it replaces its shares, it will not have the money to buy that company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars. Now Sohu, which mainly operates portal websites, is struggling in Nasdaq and is not valued by investors at all. , Many shareholders are eager for investors to come and take over the offer.

   "Well, I can take out 50 million US dollars in financing, but rather than buying the company called Sohu, I hope you choose other partners, and you can also develop similar products yourself, which costs less and is more affordable.

In my opinion, based on the current user base of your company, there is no need to acquire it. The market is still relatively cold, and the listing can be postponed. I hope you can use the money I raised for more suitable projects. The place. "

  Being determined to invest, Ye Dongqing felt that it was necessary to say these words first.

Tencent claims that it already has hundreds of millions of registered users. Considering a large number of zombie users, there are still 10 to 20 million real users. In 2003, the Internet on the other side of the Pacific was already quite large, with more than 20 million personal computers. , and nearly 60 million Internet users.

  It means that money should be spent in more suitable areas, such as browsers, online shopping malls, online payment tools, etc., than portal websites that can be created by themselves, and they can earn higher returns in the future.

   Ye Dongqing felt that it was more likely to succeed in doing these things. He checked Sohu's business details, and felt that it was just icing on the cake and not of much help to Tencent. The timing is right now, and the money should be spent wisely.

Ponny was seriously considering what Ye Dongqing said, and began to think about whether he could replicate a portal website like Sohu. The result was yes, and after a pause for a few seconds, he asked: "Then what do you think should be done, what should I do?" I remember you said that you have been paying attention to the US Internet market for a long time, and the US market is currently the largest, if it were you, where would you spend your money?"

"I will come to the United States first to take a look. Recently, I have invested in several companies. I will take you to understand their unique development models. It may help you manage and operate Tencent in the future. The Huaxia market has great prospects. But maybe you can learn something from the fact that the internet started later than in the US.”

Ye Dongqing likes to talk to smart people like Boney. For the decision makers in the management company, being able to listen to suggestions is always a good advantage. If the head is blindly arrogant, then Ye Dongqing should think about it. It’s not that I’m going to invest in other companies. Anyway, there are enough projects at the moment, and I can continue to pour money into Amazon, Netflix, Apple, etc.

   It’s really not possible, there is also Alibaba in Huaxia, which is also a super high-quality stock worth investing in Ye Dongqing’s eyes, but it’s more convenient to talk to Bonny Ma first.

"Well... If the visa can be obtained in the near future, I will take a look first. I will discuss the financing with other shareholders. If it is not to acquire Sohu, it is likely that there is no need to raise so much money, mainly MIH Group It’s more troublesome over there, but my entrepreneurial team is fine.”

   "Don't worry Boney, as long as you have a big enough appetite, you will only feel like me that you don't have enough money. Recently, the opportunity is very good, and it is likely that you can only meet it once in your life.

  So I'm waiting for your good news? Let’s call again when the time comes, you are always welcome to come to the United States as a guest, and I will take you to Seattle and Silicon Valley for a visit, I have acquaintances there..."

  After exchanging pleasantries and hanging up the phone, Ye Dongqing lay on the chair and closed her eyes to meditate. The focus of her consideration was still how to maximize profits while avoiding risks.

Thinking back to the Internet industry structure where the two countries will confront each other in the future, it must be worth investing there. The contract signed with Edward Johnson Jr. is in front of him, and he will definitely bring that guy to make some money. The return is also due, the business belongs to the business, and the reputation cannot be lost.

The manipulable funds in his hands have now soared to nearly 200 million US dollars, and even more if leverage is included. There are 80 million US dollars of ordinary investment, and there are also profits belonging to the Freshwater Fund, plus the 60 million US dollars that Little Edward invested in. How to manage the dollar has become a big problem.

This number far exceeded Ye Dongqing's imagination, and the process of raising funds was smoother than he imagined. With the relationship of Little Edward, it means that Fidelity Investment Group's tiger-skin costume can also be involved, and many unnecessary small Troubles can be easily solved, such as reducing the margin in the process of leverage, increasing the credibility of banks and brokerages, and maybe some people in the Securities and Exchange Commission can choose to turn a blind eye to achieve more flexible trading. investment model.

  Recently, because of the risk problems in warrants and oil futures trading, the investigators responsible for supervising freshwater funds have sent a letter of inquiry, asking them to submit detailed plans to avoid risks and prove that funds are reasonably sufficient.

   In the final analysis, it is still not strong enough, and the scale of funds is not enough, so Ye Dongqing always feels constrained.

A large part of the funds raised from ordinary investors are invested in low-risk, low-yield fields, such as bonds and monetary funds, to ensure the repayment ability after maturity. Borrow money, be patient and wait to get money from investors who buy wealth management products.

The most critical issue at present is still how to make more money. The money belonging to Danshui Fund Company and Ye Dongqing is used to make up for the big hole of insufficient funds. No one can help him deal with such difficult problems, so he has to On their own.

  …

  After rising for three consecutive days, crude oil futures fell again today, and the range was relatively large. Within half an hour, more than 30 cents per barrel of oil prices disappeared.

The batch of futures orders in his hand still made money, but the profit shrank instantly. Unlike gambling in Las Vegas, commodity trading is a long-term tug-of-war. Ye Dongqing can already deal with it calmly, as long as it does not fall to the mandatory level warehouses are within the acceptable range.

The long-short game is still going on, and a certain balance is ingeniously maintained. The good news is almost released. There is a lot of thunder and rain in Washington, and someone can get first-hand information from the Oval Office, but Ye Dongqing has no such skills Tongtian's ability is purely a blind gamble based on the memory of the previous life.

  Crude oil futures prices go up and down, so don’t rush to use the 60 million US dollars to enter the market to increase positions, and think about waiting and watching for a few days.

  …
