Wall Street Legend

   Chapter 151 Skype (23)

  Miss Maxi said that she wanted to travel to New York, and when she was free, the Paris Academy of Fine Arts had just started school, and it was estimated that she would wait until April or May, and then she would directly bring the oil painting to Ye Dongqing.

   It seemed that she had made plans in advance, so Ye Dongqing stopped talking and told her that she would spare time to accompany her to look around.

On March 19th, the day before the war broke out, the price of oil fell back to 26 US dollars a barrel, which was more than 20% higher than the price in September last year. Ye Dongqing didn't dare to continue to be short, so he bought some futures orders when he thought it was the right time, and filled up the amount of the order "borrowed" from the brokerage, plus the handling fee, the total profit reached nearly 100%. One hundred and ninety million dollars!

There was no short-term speculation in the next period of time, so Ye Dongqing sent two funds to Tencent and IDG Group respectively, and successfully obtained the shares. The remaining money was invested in Facebook with 20 million U.S. dollars, and the rest was dispersed. to flow into the stock market.

It’s still the old ones, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix. The amount of funds is not too big now. After investing 60 million US dollars, there is not much left. I leave the remaining cash in the company’s account for emergency. After the profit news is announced to the public Soon, the "New York Times" and "Wall Street Journal" reprinted the report, which was regarded as the follow-up progress of the news some time ago, and was used to attract readers' attention.

Many people already knew Ye Dongqing's name, and then a group of newcomers were added, which directly led to a surge in the fundraising scale of Freshwater Fund. Under the premise of capital support, investors believed that the wealth management products would not appear after their expiration. The problem of not being able to fulfill the contract is also a good thing.

It is said that when the employees of Golden Island Wealth Management Company sell their products recently, they will bring a few newspapers with them. The chances of success have increased dramatically, and their reputation has gradually been branded out. Therefore, Ye Dongqing decided to purchase Facebook advertising space through Danshui Fund. Swap your left hand for your right hand, and spend 6 million dollars on a two-week advertising campaign. While promoting the company, you also promote yourself.

He tried to make tens of millions of young people realize that he is a cool person, which will be of great help to future business. Maybe the vast majority of Facebook users now have no money to invest, but they can in the future. After all, users are mainly college students. Lord, a large part of them may become middle class and high class.

Adidas is the only ad currently under discussion. It is a waste to arrange a total of three ad spaces. He keeps one for himself, and the remaining one takes the initiative to contact Amazon to persuade Amazon’s CEO, Mr. Jeff Bezos Buy it for money, friendly price... seven million dollars.

The other party knew that Ye Dongqing was optimistic about his company and held more and more shares. After learning about the size of Facebook's users, he settled on a price of seven million dollars without much hesitation. That is to say, with 10 million registered users on Facebook, Already made $17.5 million recently!

Compared with Google, Yahoo and other companies, Facebook’s advertising target group is undoubtedly younger, which means that it has a greater effect. When the number of users continues to increase, the advertising cost will only increase. Considering the user’s experience, in receiving For a long time, Ye Dongqing only planned to arrange no more than five advertising slots to keep the page simple and clean.

  I took Zhao Liuli to visit the Museum of Natural History on the weekend, during which time I had a phone call with Laura. She said that she was helping her friend to work, and it seems that she is not planning to return to the United States in the short term.

Through the conversation, I also learned something that surprised Ye Dongqing. Laura actually wanted to study in a university in London, and was going to apply for Cambridge or Oxford. University College London was also in her goal. If it was a couple relationship, Ye Dongqing Dongqing will definitely let her come back to be with her, but she is not a couple, so there is no reason to say anything more, she just expresses her blessings and asks her to call herself when she is in trouble.

  ******************

  Bypassing the joint organization, a nearly crushing war is going on thousands of kilometers away from the United States.

  Americans take to the streets to parade at every turn, and this time is no exception. Wall Street has been calm about this, and several major indexes are still stable, and even show a slow upward trend.

These have little to do with Ye Dongqing. He has completely ignored the rise and fall of oil prices. That thing is too exciting, and the risks are also astonishing. Going to Las Vegas with a few million dollars, at least you can control the margin of winning or losing yourself, maybe you can have a chance encounter or something.

   Twenty-eight million dollars.

Under Ye Dongqing's persistent insistence, Masayoshi Son, CEO of Japan's Softbank Group, finally gave up raising the bets, tricked him, and raised the price to 28 million U.S. dollars before choosing to give up. Those Estonians Agreed to transfer all relevant technical patents at this price.

It wasn't too successful, but the result satisfied Ye Dongqing. On the last day of March, she personally rushed to Rome and signed a contract with them with a small team. Worried about going back on their promises, they agreed on a terrible liquidated damages of 100 times. Evading U.S. official subpoenas time and time again, the reputation is not high, so you have to be careful in your cooperation.

  I was busy with things all day long, and the days passed quite quickly. I happened to come to Rome, so I won’t stay for a few more days to see what I can do.

I personally experienced the enthusiasm of Italian girls. I met a young girl in a bar, which caused Ye Dongqing’s back to hurt for two or three days. Now it is perfect to say that he is a golden bachelor. Very western attitude towards life.

  If someone decides to get along with each other for a lifetime because of that kind of thing, it will definitely be regarded as a joke if they say it. Although they have a conservative life style, they are relatively few people, and Ye Dongqing is definitely not.

  The little story that happened in Rome stayed in Rome, which did not prevent him from having a little romance. After flying to Paris, he called and told Miss Marci that he lived near the Eiffel Tower.

The company has recently recruited several capable professional managers through a headhunting company, and they were placed in Danshui Investment Group and Facebook respectively. Ye Dongqing felt that it would be better if he didn't intervene recently, so that he could see the real management capabilities of those guys. , It’s the 21st century, work can be solved remotely through computers and telephones, there is no need to stay in New York all the time.

  Maxi was very pleasantly surprised. He drove his BMW mini car to find him after class that day. He forgot to change his clothes before going out. When we met, the jeans were still stained with paint...
