Wall Street Legend

Chapter 207 Small talk

In the blink of an eye, the vacation is over.

To be precise, the holidays for ordinary people should be over. Ye Dongqing works for himself, so he doesn't have to worry about when he will go back.

The same goes for Laura and Zhao Liuli. They are both still in school and will not start school until March. They will continue to accompany him around Hawaii.

Traveling is nothing more than swimming and surfing at the beach, eating seafood, renting a yacht to go fishing, etc. In fact, it doesn't mean much. It's just that it's more fresh to live in a strange area, and I get to know a lot of people during the period. But relationships are like that, and to be honest, they will get boring after a long time.

I originally wanted to follow the example of other wealthy people and invest in a small island in Hawaii to operate as real estate, but it is too far away from New York and I can’t come here many times throughout the year. If I want to take a vacation, it is better to just spend money and stay in a hotel. You don't have to worry about it yourself, so Ye Dongqing strangled the idea in the cradle just two days after it was born. If you really plan to buy an island with beautiful scenery, it is better to choose the Bahamas. It is cheap and natural, and the climate is not much different from Hawaii.

At this moment.

The sun shines in the coconut grove, and the chirping of birds can be heard from a distance. The villa belongs to the Johnson family. The housekeepers received a notice from Little Edward and treated Ye Dongqing and others as the most distinguished guests. The service is absolutely impeccable. The kind who just wanted to go fishing and arranged the yacht for him in more than ten minutes.

Ye Dongqing can help little Edward earn a lot of money, so he doesn't feel like he owes that guy anything. During his stay, he also met two couples who were somewhat related to little Edward. The entire Johnson family knew who was so big. The heirs to a fortune would only be stupid enough to ignore them. They gave them enough face and often brought delicious food back to them.

The sun in the Hawaiian Islands was so hot that his skin had darkened a lot. He was lying lazily by the pool playing on the computer. Laura finished swimming and walked up to him and asked him, "When are you going to go back to New York?"

"What's wrong with you going back?" Ye Dongqing asked.

"No, I'm just asking casually. A friend of mine is getting married. She used to be in the class next to ours. Her name is Katherine Jackman. Do you know her?"

"I don't know. I'm not popular in Manhattan International High School. No one wants to get in touch with a nerd like me. Maybe they can recall me if they see me." Ye Dongqing closed the computer, picked up the cup and took a sip of coconut juice. He raised his head and continued: "She asked you to attend the wedding?"

"Yes, she said she wanted me to be the bridesmaid, but our relationship is not very good. Since she said bad things about me, the relationship has become tense. She wants to borrow money from me to hold the wedding, five thousand dollars."

"If you were asking for my opinion, I would tell you not to lend her even a hundred dollars unless you feel it is necessary to maintain the friendship, but from past experience, lending money between friends, Unless you pay it off on time, you will most likely end up as a passerby.

Since the relationship is not very good, then why do you still think about this issue? You are most comfortable if you don’t lend it to her. I can donate 10 million U.S. dollars to unfamiliar poor groups, but if my friend doesn’t return me 1,000 U.S. dollars, I will Very uncomfortable. "

Laura smiled and said: "It seems that we have different ideas. For five thousand dollars, they can enjoy a wonderful wedding. Isn't it very romantic? I have already transferred the money to her through PayPal."

"...When she returns the money to you, you can talk about romance with me. I only know that even if she returns the money to you, she will lose the principal shrinkage caused by inflation and the loss caused by storing it anywhere. Interest, think about it before you met me, five thousand dollars was not a small sum of money to you at that time. If she tells others about this, more people will come to borrow money from you."

Ye Dongqing was undoubtedly more realistic. Laura’s expression seemed to be choked after hearing these words, and she said speechlessly: “You are so terrible, no wonder you succeeded. I only know that she needs help recently, and it doesn’t matter even if she doesn’t pay back the money in the end. , but I will never continue to lend her money when the time comes."

"It's up to you. It's not my money anyway. Let's go back to New York tomorrow. I've been feeling a little bored recently. The vacation can't last more than seven days. It just so happens that the company has some things waiting for me to deal with..."

After Bernard Madoff contacted Ye Dongqing twice, he finally chose to give him the money to help invest. He had already signed a contract with someone under Ye Dongqing, but the money had not been sent yet and it would take a few weeks to complete the raising. , assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars are easy to invest, but it would be much more troublesome to cash out into a string of numbers in a bank account. If you want to sell it at a good price, don't be impatient.

After waiting and watching for a few days, the price of crude oil futures was still rising. During this holiday, the price increased by more than 3%. Old Bernard was not in a hurry, but Ye Dongqing was very anxious. He was already preparing to invest in fresh water first. The group will invest a sum of money here, and then make up for the parts that affect the normal operation of the capital chain. It is more important to seize the opportunity. Matters involving large amounts of funds require his signature, so it is necessary to return to New York. .

in addition.

A new company in Silicon Valley has just completed the development of a product called Youtube. It is currently positioned as a short video sharing platform. The screen pixels and network transmission speed cannot keep up. Smartphones with camera functions are not yet popular. Kailai can only make do with it for the time being, and there is no need to expect it to achieve such high achievements in the early stage.

There is an element of luck in Facebook's success. It has already succeeded. It is hard to say whether it can do well with Youtube. However, with such a huge user base, it will definitely be much easier to continue to start a business than it was the year before last.

Skype is the best proof. Its number of registered users has exceeded 40 million, but it is losing almost three million US dollars a month. It is advertising everywhere recently, and it is estimated that there will be another sales cave in the near future. The Internet industry It's true that it makes money, but it's also very expensive in the early stage. In the absence of other investors, Ye Dongqing spent his own money to keep them running. Compared with the possible returns, this investment is nothing.

The media has been contacted. When the press conference begins, Ye Dongqing must show up in person to promote and show confidence. During the development process, Ye Dongqing was not very concerned about this project, and now he wants to make up for it.

Laura didn't take Ye Dongqing's experience seriously. At her age, impulse is always greater than rationality. Speaking of it, it was because she had little experience and suffered too little. It was only five thousand dollars, and Ye Dongqing was too lazy to add more. He said, stood up, patted his butt, and plunged into the swimming pool...

The status of the past few days: I am in a state of drunkenness and dreaming, nothing major will happen next, I will start updating after two days of training.
