  Chapter 198 Forbes

  Ye Dongqing tried it, and two months is the limit. Attending classes, doing homework, etc., is really not the life he likes.

  After experiencing a period of boring and boring study life, he went to London for a week of vacation, then went to Silicon Valley, and then went back to Harvard to take the exam.

   Nothing major happened, and in the blink of an eye it was December 2003, Christmas Eve.

  Standing at the end of the year and looking back on the whole year, the harvest is undoubtedly huge. After the wealth surge period in the first half of the year, the business in the second half of the year is also very good, and the total wealth continues to climb to new peaks one after another.

  Puchuan Building on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Today is December 21st, a group of people came to Ye Dongqing's house, they installed all kinds of equipment in the bag, and matched him with a microphone. Mr. Tom Kit, a reporter from "Forbes" magazine, was Sitting across from him, he said:

"Before the official interview, let me make it clear to you that your name will appear in the next three lists of the Global Rich List, the Global Chinese Rich List, and the American Celebrity List, and there will also be some less important lists. , if you are willing to introduce your accurate wealth to us, it may lead to changes in the ranking, I want to know if you are willing to announce it?"

   "...I can understand the first two lists, but the American celebrity list?"

  Ye Dongqing just changed her hairstyle last month. The back-cut one is more trendy. In order to receive this interview in the morning, she even called a stylist to blow-dry her hair.

At the moment, he is wearing a black suit, white shirt, and a thin black tie. He has been away for a long time, and three arowanas have already hung up. A lot of space.

Reporter Tom Kitt nodded and answered him: "Yes, you have become more and more influential among young people this year. We have distributed a thousand questionnaires randomly, and 19.1% of them College students say they know you, and your name will be included in the list, but the ranking will not be too high, after all, the exposure is incomparable to that of celebrities, and you don't like to show your face in public."

   "Then I should work harder. Before I decide whether to announce the specific wealth, please tell me what is your estimated number?"

   "About six billion US dollars, including Facebook, Skype, two Internet companies, and the stocks invested under the name of Danshui Investment Group, etc. We have investigated public data, and it is relatively easy to estimate."

The number of Facebook’s global registered users almost exceeded 150 million. As one of the most successful start-up companies in 2003, its valuation soared to about 4 billion US dollars. It not only performed well in the United States, but also in other The country has also occupied a lot of market share. In Canada and Australia alone, there are more than 7 million people in total, and the UK has more than 10 million people.

Valuation belongs to valuation, the actual value is still hard to say for the time being, and Forbes only listed a rough figure. After all, Ye Dongqing is still unwilling to accept any financing so far, and many lawsuits have been filed for this. put pressure on him.

   "Not so much. To be honest, I don't know how much money I have. I know everything I need to know. There is nothing to announce, just some real estate.

  By the way, have you included the Internet company I invested in Huaxia? "

   "Well... the list is in the data, your shares are worth almost 100 million US dollars, right?"

   "That's fine, let's start the official interview, and just ask what you want to ask..."

Someone was taking pictures, Ye Dongqing was sitting after buttoning up the buttons, Zhao Liuli was hiding behind the wall and poking her head. She has been on winter vacation recently, and after her nutrition has kept up, she has grown a lot compared to when she was brought back, but she is still just Just a little girl.

Reporter Tom Kitt opened the book and took out a pen, saying: "Okay, let's start. The first question is about Freshwater Investment Group. What do you think of the stock price rise since the second half of this year? We know You are the largest shareholder of Apple, and at this time last year, you just started to pay attention to Apple, what made you take a fancy to this company and feel that it is worth investing in?"

  Apple has performed very well on the Nasdaq market in recent months. From the beginning of the year to the present, the stock price has risen by about 32%.

The App-Store was also launched a few months ago, and has been highly recognized. Many programs run more smoothly under the OS system, especially some games and office programs. The concept products that will be launched next year, iMac all-in-one and Macbook-Pro performance notebook computer, the fuselage is largely made of aluminum alloy, which is full of technology.

Leaving aside performance, Ye Dongqing also suggested that Jobs put aside old grievances and spend a lot of money to get the right to use the Microsoft office system, trying to achieve compatibility with Apple's original products. These are the main reasons for pushing up Apple's stock price.

"Its success is normal. Before I invested, Apple was very good. Later, it just got back on track. Apple has its own operating system, its own research and development laboratory, and its own sales channels and production plants. Patents Reserve also ranks among the top spearheads among Silicon Valley companies.

I have taken a fancy to its potential, and I have some ideas of my own, and I need a company like this to help me realize them. The CEO, Mr. Steve Jobs, and the COO, Mr. Tim Cook, are both very capable managers. They support my idea, it's not a success yet, it seems to me more like a modest start, there's still a lot to do, the board members are on my side, we believe it will become more and more successful . "

"Same question, what about Amazon? Your shareholding ratio in this company has reached 11.7%, and it has also brought you high returns this year. My colleague interviewed Jeff Bay South, his optimism about the fourth quarter earnings report may further stimulate the stock price to rise."

   "Amazon has far fewer problems than Apple, and I believe Mr. Bezos can handle it well, and he has a healthy development mindset.

  In my opinion, this is an online Wal-Mart, which is more convenient than Wal-Mart and has a richer product range. If I have the opportunity, I will continue to increase my holdings.

   It is no exaggeration to say that if any major shareholder is willing to sell, I will accept as many shares as there are shares if the premium is less than 20%, you can add this sentence into it, it is an advertisement..."
