Wall Street Legend

   Chapter 146 Bloomberg (14)

   Modesty only belongs to the super rich who are not short of fame. Before you really become famous, if you want to gain the respect of the upper class, you just need to show off and show off.

   If you don't attract attention and recognition from others, who will know who you are? How to make friends? The saying that money comes first is not just a simple saying.

Ye Dongqing is Chinese. He knows that if he wants to squeeze into the upper class circles in the United States, he has to work harder than others. Needless to say, the importance of the network of contacts, the last time the Securities and Exchange Commission was going to punish him severely, but Ms. Johnson only But after saying hello, the other party gave up the pursuit lightly, which is a proof of strength and connections.

  Since he is doing business in the United States, it is necessary to deal with those guys, so he will not miss any high-end parties in the near future. It is very necessary to quickly establish contacts, who may be able to help him in the future...

Wearing a close-fitting and comfortable black suit, the shoes on the feet are handcrafted from crocodile leather, which is naturally textured. This ferocious animal is almost flooding the southern part of the United States. There are millions of them in Florida alone. Only extreme animal activists would care about them.

Laura was wearing a backless evening dress, and there was a coat over it. Before entering the venue, I handed it to the hotel staff for storage. On her shoulder, just over her shoulder.

She is holding Ye Dongqing on her arm. If it is said that the last time she came to a party of this level, she would still feel guilty. Now that Ye Dongqing's wealth has skyrocketed and she has been in touch with this newly promoted billionaire for a long time, Laura no longer feels that there is anything wrong with her. The big deal is that they are just normal human beings.

Little Edward caught a glimpse of Ye Dongqing from the corner of his eye. He didn't intend to let go of the opportunity to laugh, and asked loudly: "Crude oil will soon exceed forty dollars a barrel. If you hold the order at that time until now, you can earn nearly more Four hundred million dollars, it should be difficult to fall asleep recently, right?"

  The people around were all smiling, full of schadenfreude. It seemed that Little Edward had already told them how Ye Dongqing perfectly missed a wave of upswing, causing him to lose a lot of money.

   "Wait until you pocket the profits and then laugh at me, in fact I just sold 800 million dollars worth of crude oil futures orders and waited to pay them back with minimal money soon after.

That’s right, I’ve turned bearish on oil prices. For the sake of helping me earn more than 40 million U.S. dollars, I advise you to stop. If my suggestion proves to be correct, you only need to give me 1,000 U.S. dollars Ten thousand dollars in consulting fees is fine, otherwise you may give back hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. "

  Ye Dongqing walked while talking, not thinking of chatting with little Edward at all, and her voice was quite loud, deliberately letting the people around her hear.

  A middle-aged Jew standing not far away asked a friend in a low voice: "Could it be that young people are so powerful now, and their profits are calculated in billions? I know the fat man in Johnson's family, but who is that young Chinese?"

There were a few people standing next to him, and someone who knew the matter told him: "A student who is not in high school, he made a lot of money on his own. I heard someone say that his story has been published in the New York Times. It is said that recently He made a lot of money through crude oil futures and is a billionaire.”

  “My son mentioned him to me. Recently, many universities are using a program he created. My son is very optimistic about the investment potential, but unfortunately he is unwilling to accept financing.”

  “I’m really unwilling to accept financing. I heard that Bill Gates’ family office Waterfall Investment wants to take a stake in that Internet company. I’m surprised at the growth rate…”

  Hearing these bits and pieces of news, the Jewish middle-aged man showed a stunned expression, which caused Ye Dongqing's status in his mind to be greatly elevated in an instant. In the fields of crude oil futures and the Internet, it is already very good for ordinary people to make achievements in one aspect.

  As her net worth soared, Ye Dongqing also gained the confidence to socialize everywhere.

  The guests at the scene are generally over thirty-five years old, and there are also many gray-haired old men and old women. Those who are eligible to be invited by Goldman Sachs are either rich or noble, and they often achieve success only after they are older.

  Looking at the audience, apart from Laura standing beside him, he is probably the youngest.

Seeing a celebrity in the crowd at this time, Ye Dongqing walked over with a glass of champagne, and said to the tall man in front of him who was surrounded by many guests: "It's an honor to meet you in person, Mayor Bloomberg, I It's called Leo Yeh, founder of Freshwater Investment Group and Internet company Facebook."

   "I know who you are, I saw the newspaper, and my old friend Nash also mentioned you, he is your teacher, right?"

   "That's right, Mr. Nash taught me mathematics. At the beginning, he wanted to ask you for a letter of recommendation for admission. I am very grateful to him."

"Haha! Nash is a good guy. I haven't had much contact with him recently, but I have been friends with him since childhood, and I still am now. For an outstanding young man like you, now no matter which university will only compete to admit you, I no longer need my recommendation. I'm sure of that," Mayor Bloomberg said.

The current mayor of New York is quite famous, because he was a super rich man worth tens of billions before he became the mayor. For Mr. Bloomberg, money has completely become a number, and he only receives one dollar from the city hall every year. And commuting by subway is relatively easy to get along with.

Ye Dongqing really wanted to ask him to write a letter of recommendation for Laura. If he could get a letter of recommendation from Mayor Bloomberg, almost all American universities would no longer refuse to admit Laura who had stains on her body. People will underestimate the mayor of New York, let alone choose to offend an overdue rich man because of such a trivial matter. Leaving aside other schools, Columbia University in Manhattan is almost guaranteed if you want to get into it.

  It's a pity that the two of them don't have a deep friendship, and this occasion is not suitable for talking about that kind of thing. After a few simple chats, he will leave without disturbing their conversation.

  The time has entered March, and in a month or two, all American colleges and universities will start accepting applications. Ye Dongqing has not helped resolve Laura's matter, but Ye Dongqing has always remembered it.

Lacking other people’s introductions, it’s hard to get involved. In the final analysis, there are too few exchanges. Tonight is only the second time in a few months. I chatted with a senior partner of Goldman Sachs, and then he took out a root from his breast pocket. Cigar came out and took Laura to the corridor to rest for a while.

After spitting out a big mouthful of white mist, he asked Laura, "It's a boring party, isn't it? After I'm better and richer than Mr. Bloomberg, those women will just compete to make friends with you. Now they There is a small circle, you may have known each other for a long time, so you will be more boring."

  Laura originally wanted to say that she would rely on her own efforts to gain recognition, but this idea went around in her head before being rejected by herself first.

  I don't have any confidence in success at all, and there is still some hope for an annual salary of two to three hundred thousand dollars, no matter how high it is? I can't even think about it...
