Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 345 Sheng Mien

  Wang Dongxue has never seen anything in the world. He has only seen such a big mansion on TV before, or it is the first time he has actually set foot in as a guest when passing by someone else's door.

I don't know how much the cigar he smokes is worth, otherwise he might not be willing to light it at all. He has worked in the supermarket for more than half a year, and his salary is barely enough to buy such a royal million dollar cigar. As mentioned earlier, even though it is only two years We haven't met each other for a long time, but there is a huge gap between them, mainly referring to the material aspect.

Being treated by Ye Dongqing as a guest made Wang Dongxue feel uneasy. He seemed to be the only one in the room who didn't fit in. This was a feeling of inferiority in his own mind. In fact, Ye Dongqing welcomed him very much. The guy Richard Rockefeller was more popular.

The past gradually came back to my mind. I vaguely remembered that I occasionally lent my homework to Wang Dongxue and was caught by the teacher. It is already a relatively distant memory. I am sitting and chatting now, and there are not many topics. It is nothing more than asking about Chinatown How is it over there, what are the former classmates doing now, etc.

"I thought about it just now, and there is a job suitable for you. It's on the land on the other side of the island. I don't know if you have seen people working on it. I plan to build a botanical garden there, and you can help me manage it. "

Ye Dongqing got to the point and felt that the tone was a bit formal. He coughed dryly and added: "Accumulate some work experience first, and I will help you arrange a better position in the future. In terms of salary... I will give you five thousand dollars at the beginning. After the botanical garden is completed, it will be upgraded, and all I need to be responsible for is to help plant plants and manage other aspects. I will say hello to the project manager at that time, and if you are interested, just report directly.”

  It is roughly equivalent to an annual salary of 60,000 US dollars, excluding other benefits, such as medical insurance, bonuses, etc., which must be higher when calculated.

At the end of 2004, with this kind of income, he could already reach the threshold of being promoted to the middle class. Ye Dongqing didn't bother to take care of these trivial matters. There was someone specially assigned to help him build the botanical garden, but he also knew that the annual income of 60,000 US dollars was not bad. Being picky about this also means that you don't need to get along with him anymore. He is not a bad character, so naturally he won't throw money casually.

  The income was almost two thousand dollars higher than when he was a security guard. Wang Dongxue was already very pleasantly surprised. He only had a high school degree, but any job that was slightly better would reject him.

   There is a saying called Sheng Mi En, fighting Mi Qiu, saving the emergency but not the poor, the philosophy of life summed up by the Chinese ancestors, there are great truths in a few dozen words.

  Ye Dongqing is willing to give him a chance. If he works hard and improves his ability, he will not mind giving this old classmate a job with a higher salary in the future, but he will not give money directly, so that the other party will develop a sense of dependence for something for nothing.

  Speaking of which, there are not five hundred but two hundred people who have been classmates with him. That is only in middle school, and there are more after college. If everyone came to ask him for money, wouldn't it be a mess?

Just like rich people don’t just pay strangers for medical expenses and help them get out of poverty, because once they do so, more people who get the news will come like mosquitoes. There are so many people who lack money in the world, Even someone of Bill Gates' worth can only be said to do his best.

  It is not so easy to be a philanthropist. Even if one person does not get the help he wants and tries his best to splash dirty water, it is enough to tarnish the reputation of someone who has done a lot of charity.

He said thank you all over his mouth, which made Ye Dongqing quite satisfied with his old classmate's attitude, took out his mobile phone and made a call, told the project leader about his recruitment, and told the other party the name "Bruce King", Then he raised his head and said with a smile: "Okay, go through the entry procedures when you are free. The management team of the botanical garden has just been set up. If you build a good relationship with your boss, you may be able to get a better position. Next It won't be too busy."

  Wang Dongxue didn't know what to say other than thank you, her face flushed red, and she couldn't hide her joy while being excited.

He was a little embarrassed in the atmosphere, so he simply called the butler directly, and asked the butler to take him to go through the entry procedures. It was not until the old classmate left that Richard asked lazily: "You knew me when you didn't start business. people?"

"Yeah, I can see my shadow from him at that time. At first, I thought that if I could earn five thousand dollars a month and be able to support myself, it would be a very happy thing, but now the fun of making money is suddenly much less , It seems that I have become more concerned about success itself, solving troubles, and then promoting the company to continue to expand the market and achieve my ideal goal.

  I gradually discovered that this may be the reason why Mr. Buffett and others still insist on working every day at a long age. Losing a job will make life boring and boring. "

  Ye Dongqing spoke the truth, and Richard thought about it after listening.

But a salted fish is a salted fish. Richard didn't have the idea of ​​striving to surpass the achievements of his family ancestors. Instead, he said: "The realm is too high. I guess I won't have the chance to appreciate it in my life. If my grandfather is willing Leave a large inheritance to me, and I will exchange it for cash to buy a private jet, buy a super luxury yacht, and then move out of the manor to live by myself, buy the next-door island to be your neighbor, and buy the rest of the money into stocks and treasury bonds, and enjoy dividends comfortably every day.”

  "...Your grandfather will be very happy when he hears such words, and then donate all the money. The reason why there are no more powerful figures in the Rockefeller family is probably because you guys are too good at enjoying it."

   As expected, they were all wine and meat friends, only little Edward Johnson was a little more reliable, and even dared to cheat Ye Dongqing for profit.

  For example, in the case of Apple, Ye Dongqing always felt that it was under the instruction of little Edward, and robbed and bought a few percent of Apple's stock on the way.

It's cheap, but at least it shows that you are self-motivated and know that you want to make money yourself instead of waiting for a future inheritance. Ye Dongqing is not the same as Little Edward, but he is not the same as Richard. Seek common ground and get along with each other while reserving differences, and don't care too much about anything.

  Able to accept this level of jokes, Richard shrugged indifferently, and said: "That's none of my business, I don't care about the flood after I die, I like this sentence of the French Emperor Louis XV.

Now my money is saved and spent, which is enough to make me comfortable for a lifetime, provided that the investment advice you give me is not wrong, my financial advisor has already told me to sell it, so I fired that financial advisor, compared to He, I am more willing to believe your suggestion..."
