Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 167 Background (2)

  If you don’t know how to invest yourself, you should ask professionals for help, which is similar to the reason why people buy funds and hedge funds.

Also from a wealthy family, the gap between Richard and Little Edward is that the latter has been unwilling to admit that his investment vision is worse than Ye Dongqing, while Richard can accept it frankly, and has already known Freshwater Fund and Ye Dongqing before. How should I put it myself, he thinks Ye Dongqing is a smart and decisive little guy, out of some unknown sense of trust, he invested more than 8 million US dollars in Amazon.

   Still a little bit less courageous, I didn’t dare to press all in, and instead thought about Facebook.

Not agreeing to cooperate with Ye Dongqing yet, Richard wants to read the cooperation agreement first, and the time will soon be at night, when nearly 7 o'clock, more than 30 people are sitting at the same long table, many of them know each other, There are not only the children of upper-class celebrities, but also Richard's relatives, also named "Rockefeller".

The steak comes from this estate, as do the fruits and vegetables. Ye Dongqing is already a bit famous, especially in New York. Judging from the increasing number of interview invitations, the public is very interested in his life. After all, he is a high school student of Chinese descent. There are not many young men who have accumulated hundreds of millions of dollars in net worth, and Facebook has a great influence, and he is also very successful in playing finance. People seem to treat him as a business genius.

This makes it easy for him to be accepted by Richard's small circle now. After wealth has accumulated to his level, skin color is no longer a restriction, but anyone who is a little smarter knows that with Facebook's current development momentum, what the future can bring Wealth is far more than what it is now. An Internet company that has just been launched for more than five months has managed to successfully win advertising orders totaling more than 50 million US dollars. Now many people's parents have spent their entire lives earning no wealth. There are so many Ye Dongqings now, it takes some strength to underestimate him.

His own achievements, the achievements of his parents and ancestors, the two should not be confused. He was relatively easy to communicate with, and even Laura was highly regarded. He obtained a string of ruby ​​​​necklaces from Richard's mother. It is said that he once belonged to a certain Princess of France.

It's no wonder that the Rockefeller family has such a good reputation in society, and they are indeed very social. Compared with another oil tycoon, Paul Getty, the reputation is much worse, because he was unwilling to pay the ransom of his grandson. Criticism.

  The top-quality steak, after grilling, you can still see the fat lines. Unknowingly, Ye Dongqing became the star of the dinner scene. He was explaining the doubts about investment, thinking that he might be able to attract a few more big customers.

Zhengzheng told me earnestly: "If it wasn't for the SEC's mandatory requirement, I could have made a lot more money. They mandated that part of the raised assets be used to buy low-risk products such as bonds and currencies, but this did reduce my risk. A large part of the risk of loss is reduced.

The reason why I set such a high rate of return is because I am confident that I can earn a profit far exceeding 10% of the fundraising cost, but it doesn’t matter even if I can’t earn it. The income from bonds and other items can offset part of it. In addition, my company also has its own assets. , Some of the shares of Facebook, which has been very popular recently, are under the name of Danshui Investment Group. I can definitely fill in the shortfall. If anyone has extra money and wants to use it for financial management, remember to contact me. If the amount is large, a higher interest rate can be negotiated. That's about nine percent a year. "

   "I'm interested, maybe we can talk after this dinner, my father died recently and he left me an asset that I can't manage myself."

Immediately, someone said that his name was George Bout. Ye Dongqing remembered that Richard said that his father was a billionaire who owned a large share in the Mexican American Telecom Company. He recently lost his parents due to a sea storm. , Inheritance can be as high as ten figures.

  From these observations, one can guess what Richard Rockefeller's social circle was like. Among the guests was even a girl named "Walton". Ye Dongqing probably guessed the identity of the other party.

   "I regret this, and those who are interested can have a glass of wine together later."

  He made no secret of his businessman nature, and Ye Dongqing worried about causing resentment, so he brought the topic back to a baseball player.

  …

  I know a lot of young people who are still sober after drinking a few glasses of red wine.

After eating, Richard held a game of poker, where each person took out $200,000 for a small gamble. If you don’t gamble, you will appear to have no passion. In fact, $200,000 is not enough to lift your spirits , in the eyes of some people, this figure is just the cost of a party.

  The simplest blackjack, played by a total of five people, and there is another table next to it playing Texas Hold'em, the stakes are much higher than theirs.

Someone tentatively asked him about financial products. The annual interest rate of nine or ten points was enough to attract their attention, and an order of up to 20 million US dollars was finalized on the spot. It came from George Bout, who followed Ye Holly is also very bad at gambling, and the third card always busts.

Laura and Renee followed one of Richard's cousins ​​to visit the Sculpture Garden. There are more than 3,000 acres, which is enough for them to visit for a long time. There are too many members in this family, and they often hold various parties and help each other receive The guests have long been accustomed to living here since they were young, and the introduction is more detailed than that of a professional tour guide.

Renee's eyes were opened tonight, and she couldn't bear to call to show off to her friends. She had a digital camera in her bag, and she was going to post a few photos for her friends when she found a place with internet access. On the way, she heard Ye Dongqing and Laura talked about the concept of "Internet celebrity". She felt that this kind of job was very suitable for her, and she was already preparing to package herself to become famous on Facebook.

  Laura didn't care too much, whatever Ye Dongqing arranged, she was still resistant to exposing her private life to others, and the only thing that made her feel great was that she might make a lot of money.

  …

  Thinking about Miss Marsh, Ye Dongqing declined the invitation to stay overnight at around eleven o'clock that night.

Renee didn't plan to leave, she felt that her stay was not good, and she also wanted to keep Laura. Richard knew that it was difficult for him to have friends, so he winked at Ye Dongqing and asked him to stay an extra night. Dumbfounded, he stayed in the end.

   I don't know how Renee arranged it. Anyway, Laura and Ye Dongqing slept in the same room. Needless to say, what happened, the young man was very angry, and Laura didn't mean to refuse. The two had long been accustomed to this.

   It’s a vacation, Renee doesn’t care about anything, Richard who came to her door that night took her to “watch the stars”…
