Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 451 I would rather be an ordinary person

  The building is gone, and the hotel is not built here, so I don’t even have the opportunity to "sweep the grave" for myself.

   This day passed smoothly, no one knew why Ye Dongqing was sad, but after drinking too much wine, she became very happy again.

  Although the world has long been different from Ye Dongqing's memory, for him, after today passes, it means a new beginning and a continuation of life. Everything is unknown, and he has never experienced it himself.

  It is indeed a memorable time node.

In his thirties, he does not have the mental state of being old, but after all, he has not been able to stand against time. In every little thing, he is constantly polished to be smooth, with a strong heart, and a sense of maturity that does not panic in the world, even if he is just standing That can make people feel an invisible sense of oppression.

  Forbes has long been slaughtered. Some people say that in the 21st century until now, most of the business luck of businessmen has run to him.

This statement has been widely recognized. By 2018, Ye Dongqing’s shadow can be seen in almost all walks of life, deeply rooted in the lifeline of the world economy. Banks, brokerages, Internet companies, daily necessities, shopping malls, hotels, real estate Companies, communications, semiconductors, transportation, aviation, etc., etc., he stretched his hands in, investing while cashing out.

  It no longer focuses on the IT industry like it did in the first ten years of this century. Now it is in full bloom, and wealth is gathering in his hands at an accelerated rate. No one knows how much money Ye Dongqing has. The tip of the iceberg revealed is enough to shock people's attention.

  The island of Lanai, Hawaii is currently under development. On a huge island, his private manor will be built, with an investment of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, with farms and orchards.

  Hollywood's DreamWorks has won the vast majority of its shares, and is working with Netflix on film and television production. In recent years, outstanding movies and TV series have been filmed one after another, which is full of influence.

He took 20% of the shares of CBS TV station. Besides, there are many policy research institutions. Ye Dongqing said that his business will expand to other countries, so Washington gave the green light and allowed him to transfer a lot of technology to other countries. Other countries, setting up branch offices, independent subsidiaries, etc., gave him the security he wanted.

The initial launch of iCar was lukewarm, but now the global sales volume has exceeded 7 million vehicles, and a new factory is under construction in China. Apple's market value is 1.1 trillion US dollars. For a company with a market value of more than one trillion dollars, he still has Two, Amazon and Facebook, have pared some of their stakes, but are still very valuable.

In addition, there are many large and small companies with a market capitalization of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. For example, Android, which was listed, has a market capitalization of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars and an annual profit of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars. Tencent and Alibaba have market capitalizations of 500 billion, With 400 billion U.S. dollars, he accidentally dominated China's Internet industry, and small companies had almost no chance of rising.

I often travel and worry about accidents, so I paid Boeing to develop a few planes that will never crash. The cabin can be separated separately, equipped with a parachute, three planes fly together when traveling, and there are private fighter jets to **** them all the way. It greatly reduces the risk and costs a lot, but money is not important.

  Money is really not valued by him.

If you become rich like this, you will always earn more than you spend. Ye Dongqing doesn't know how much money he has now, let alone how much money he can make every day. Including charitable trusts, four trillion yuan is almost enough. Yes, I am too lazy to hide it anymore. I have paid more than 200 billion U.S. dollars in taxes one after another, which has single-handedly improved the quality of life of New York residents.

Recently, he has become more and more Buddhist, unwilling to participate in various activities, and no longer want to worry about the company's trivial matters. The Federal Reserve and Washington have borrowed money from him in disguise, raising interest rates to let him buy government bonds, and don't care about human relations. , anyway, no one will not give him face when there is a need.

The children are all healthy and have entered school age. Since the birth of their youngest daughter, Ye Qi, they have never had any other children. However, Laura recently wanted to have another child, but he has not finished sowing seeds. Even if a small country is born, he can raise it. Affordable, it's not a big deal, having more direct descendants also means safety, only one son, it really can't be justified.

  A businessman worshiped his photo as the God of Wealth. After all, there is no other person who can earn more than one billion dollars from selling autobiography and portrait rights, except Ye Dongqing.

If in his memory, this era was an era of heroes competing for the title, then now it is one person crushing all. Since last year, Forbes kicked him out of the list and started writing from the second place. Not as rich as he, the number one, is too unreasonable.

In the past few years, Ye Dongqing's life has been no different from that of ordinary rich people. He also runs in the morning to exercise, and goes to the sea to fish for tuna by boat. His personal wealth exceeds the total GDP of Germany last year, only less than Japan is a little bit worse, so there is nothing to pursue, but just like an old man, because he can still live, he just makes do with it.

  The reason why I bought Lanai Island in Hawaii and built a lot of construction on it is mainly to live in it in winter, and to open up tourism. The purpose is to prevent the island from being lifeless.

Since the birth of modern civilization, it seems that there has never been such an existence like him. Relaxation is for sure, returning to the basics. Ye Dongqing went to the farm as a "farmer" for a year the year before last. In order to find something to do for himself, he kept harvesting machine has learned.

In contrast, thanks to his blessing, Richard, who has become a billionaire, seems to be happier. This guy has pursuits and is also a top stallion. He just announced at the beginning of the year that he had successfully achieved the goal of "1000". Specifically, what does it mean? Say, the next goal is two thousand.

   What you love and what I wish, can’t be said to be good or bad. I have enjoyed a lot of money and spent a lot of money. My personality is just like this. I don’t bother to talk about him anymore. I pursue different things.

  Little Edward has become the rich man he dreamed of. It is more difficult for him to do business than Ye Dongqing, so although he is busy, he enjoys it.

  Ye Dongqing is still unmarried. While maintaining a stable relationship with Laura and Marcie, she occasionally finds some excitement.

Without material pursuits, the things in his eyes are more pure. He has helped a desperate Chinese boy who was short of money to help his mother treat illnesses, and also helped a widowed old woman with white hair squatting in the cold wind to wipe her tears to enjoy her old age. I don't want to help anyone deliberately, but as long as I see it, I don't recommend reaching out to give the other party a hand.

It's a good thing to have no ambitions. Knowing that his plan for Washington is only for self-protection, Ye Dongqing is known as a good person in the upper echelon. He won't offend anyone, and he is not afraid of anyone. No one is so stupid as to tease him on purpose, dare to do so. The lunatics, all of them did not end well. A few years ago, a senator who spoke out loud was caught by CBS for drunk driving and lost his career.

  Anyone with a heart knows what's going on. After all, the day before, I just made a fuss about the polarization of wealth and said that I want to change this situation.

  **********

  In mid-May of 2019.

   On the 17th, Ye Dongqing was lying on the rubber boat wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun, beside her son, several speedboats were following more than ten meters away, and there were even divers patrolling underwater.

  He turned his head and asked his son, "When you grow up, what career do you want to pursue? At your age, you should have some ideas, right? Do business like me?"

   "Make money? No, no, no, I don't like making money. I want to open a cake shop with Mia. She likes to eat cakes."

   "That short-haired South American girl? She has a good vision and more ambition than me. It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. You and your sisters just feel that you are living happily."

Ye Dongqing took a sip of her cocktail, shook her head and said, "You must not become like me, it's too boring, and now I'm thinking that when I get old, I can be buried on another planet, Mars. But there are still dozens Years, if there are no accidents, it should be decades.

  Remember, when you grow up, if one day you find it boring, then donate all the pocket money I gave you and live a poor life. When you and I didn't make a fortune, I was full of energy all day long. How can it be like here now, with so much money lying in the account, and I can't even spend it. Now I just want to be an ordinary person..."
