Wall Street Legend

Mr. Patrick Hennig has been in charge of Rolex for many years. This company is similar to Apple in that it is composed of a group of people making up the decision-making body. The difference is that Rolex is managed by a foundation, while Apple is a company.

Since Ye Dongqing holds more and more Apple shares, the power of the board of directors is being weakened. He has already occupied two board seats, and as the shares further increase, he may occupy more, except for Danshui Investment Group. , the remaining shares are still very fragmented. In fact, the forces behind a total of four board members have sold their stocks to Tamsui Investment Group, which has caused some minor disputes. We will talk about these later and are not the focus of tonight.

In recent decades, with the intervention of other forces, the watch industry has also formed an oligarchy. Most brands have been acquired by large groups in the commercial wave, such as Hublot, Zenith, TAG Heuer, Bulgari, etc. It belongs to the LVMH Group. Brands such as Breguet, Blancpain, Longines, Tissot, and Omega belong to the Swatch Group, while brands such as Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Piaget, and Montblanc belong to the Richemont Group. There are not many independent watchmaking workshops anymore. .

Mr. Hennig has no ambitions. He is more than capable of managing a company, but he is a bit powerless when it is bigger. Out of caution, he has a lot of cash in his account. This is how they can get a huge sum of 1.5 billion euros to the United States. Here are the reasons for seeking investment.

If Ye Dongqing remembered correctly, the Rolex company was indeed deceived by Bernard Madoff in the previous life. The old man and Bernard belonged to the same club, and the relationship between the two was pretty good.

But that seemed to be just an illusion. After all, Old Bernard had no mercy when he cheated him. Recently, Old Bernard only wanted to transfer the risk to Ye Dongqing and then let himself get out as soon as possible. How could he continue to absorb investment funds, so Mark... Bernard brought him directly to Ye Dongqing. The two parties had made a secret agreement before, and the old Bernard could get a commission for introducing customers.

After sitting down, he personally helped pour a bottle of good wine. Lehua red wine with a history of more than 30 years, the specific year was 1978, was taken directly from the cabinet, so Ye Dongqing didn't feel bad at all. He had helped little Edward make money. .

There are still many things waiting outside. Ye Dongqing got straight to the point and told: "Mr. Heinig, I know that my age will make you confused. Many people think that being young means being unreliable, but I can guarantee that I will never Not that unreliable kind of person.

Even if I tell you, you may still not trust my company. Maybe you can find a team of financial personnel to come to my company to check the accounts. I can guarantee that all the data disclosed to the outside world is true. No matter how you investigate, OK, because I make money with my brain, and you would be surprised if you saw my return on investment. "

Mark Madoff was sitting next to him and suddenly felt a little pain in his face. The main reason was that his father was a thief who played a Ponzi scheme. He was stimulated by Ye Dongqing's words. However, as long as this business could be negotiated, his family would have a happy life. Big money comes in.

After thinking of this, he didn't care for a moment and said to the side: "I have already shown you the information. My father guarantees with his reputation that this kind of financial product is indeed worth buying. Now every investor on Wall Street knows him and knows him." Tamsui Investment Group, I can take you to New York to see you, live in my father’s estate, and maybe play chess and golf.”

"I like New York and I like this party. In fact, I have gotten to know you and your company. Judging from the performance since its establishment, it is indeed very impressive, but I am still not sure whether this magic will continue forever. Mr. Hennig shook his head as he spoke. He was not young anymore, and even had an old man's air about him. He continued: "Maybe I will buy some of these financial products, but it is almost impossible to buy them all. After all, the risks have to be shared. Mark, are you sure your father won’t accept any more investment in the short term?”

Seeing this, Mark Madoff told him: "How about you enjoy this party first and let me discuss it with my father? You and he are very good friends. I believe that if I have the opportunity to make money, I will not forget you." , OK?”

Old Heinig made an OK gesture with a satisfied smile on his face and said: "Then I'm waiting for your good news. After it is done, I will invite your father to enjoy a few days at my ski resort. Please tell him there." With the best cigars and beautiful women, he can even play golf against the snow-capped mountains..."

Ye Dongqing was a little confused because he found that the old man was not interested in his company at all, just like Mr. Buffett thought at the beginning.

Maybe they have not changed, but the world has changed. It is difficult for the older generation of businessmen to understand the information society that is being built, and naturally they will not invest in things they do not understand at all.

After Old Heinig left and went to the deck, Ye Dongqing rolled his eyes and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, saying: "Okay, I'm a liar, I can't manage this money at all. God, what happened to this world? It seems that there is indeed something worth learning from your father, such as how to make these old men willingly give up their money.

The plan has changed. From now on, your father will continue to raise funds and then transfer it to my company. I am more willing to pay more bank fees than to deal with investors who don't understand anything. "

What made him angry was that he had said so much in vain and all he got was meaningless treatment. He was sure that if Bernard Sr. didn't come on stage, Sr. Heinig would never buy the financial products of Tamsui Investment Group.

“They might be more interested in hanging out with their peers, just like I’d rather learn from you.”

Mark Madoff's flattery was just right, making Ye Dongqing feel comfortable without appearing to be too much.

Ye Dongqing unbuttoned two suit buttons, sat down, poured another glass of red wine, and said, "Let your father do it. The price difference is all yours. It will be calculated based on the last price. There is no management fee, but I If I need about another five billion dollars, I will stop raising funds, and I already have enough money to develop."

"Okay, I'll call him later and tell him about it. What do you think about waiting until the old man is ready to return, and then I tell him that my father has decided to take his money?"

"It's pretty good. It will make him feel that he didn't come to the United States in vain. The right time will also make him relax his guard and not think that your father is cheating him of his money."

"No, no, no, it used to be a scam, but now that I'm working with you, it's no longer a scam..."
