Wall Street Legend

Mr. McCord's warning was correct. There were indeed too many people tonight.

Not to mention being on tenterhooks, there was definitely a little bit of worry. Laura quickly left with the child, entered the special elevator and handed it over to the nanny. Accompanied by the bodyguards, she sent her upstairs to rest while she continued shopping with her friends.

Even the grandest party will come to an end. The Cobra Building opened, and almost half of the citizens of New York City came to visit. It was bustling for more than half a month before normalcy returned.

As soon as it opened, it became a new landmark in New York, attracting countless tourists. The entire Hudson Square became lively, and the housing prices in the surrounding areas skyrocketed. This kind of thing has almost never happened before. In comparison, it is just high. The Burj Khalifa has fallen behind and is not valued by people.

A huge "cobra" now overlooks the entire Manhattan every night, which has indeed made the city cooler. Ye Dongqing lives on the top floor of this building recently and occasionally takes time to visit the company.

At the entrance on the first floor, the best location.

On one side is the Ferrari booth, and on the other is Apple's flagship store. At the end of March, there was an extra car in the Apple store, with a cool shape, like a sports car.

A lot of money has been invested, and with the cooperation of major automotive research institutes, the electric vehicle project that was originally planned and manufactured is nearing completion and will soon undergo road testing, followed closely by production and launch.

Unlike Tesla, Tesla chose to build a supercar with powerful performance first, build the brand, and then build a flagship product that consumers can accept.

Apple has given up on flashy high-performance sports cars from the very beginning. The cool Apple car in the showroom is almost the final flagship product, and the price is expected to be around 150,000 US dollars. The span is not big, ranging from 150,000 to 200,000 US dollars, but the battery life, color, wheels, etc. have changed. The cruising range is 230 miles and 330 miles respectively. It is enough for normal urban transportation. A coupe model that is as good-looking as the Panamera, and the color scheme is even cooler.

Only Ye Dongqing himself knows that it refers to the design language of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT four-door version in his memory. Both the materials and the appearance design are quite outstanding.

As soon as it was brought into the store today, it attracted a large number of reporters and tourists. The store was almost packed with three floors inside and three outside. Ye Dongqing had already tried it for a test drive. It was good inside and outside. The only thing that made him Unfortunately, there is no self-driving function. The self-driving laboratory he founded has not produced any outstanding finished products yet, and it will take some time.

With an estimated selling price of more than 100,000 US dollars, this product, named iCar-S, is destined to become one of the few mid-to-high-yield toys. A more civilian product is still being designed and is expected to be launched next year, that is, in 2011. , smaller in size and with a slightly shorter cruising range, this is Ye Dongqing’s flagship product that hopes to subvert the existing car manufacturing market. It can be equipped with various noises like a fuel sports car. In addition to being cool, it is also for safety reasons. It is quiet. The car is difficult to detect by passers-by.

Before a special press conference was held, the concept car that was about to be finalized was already unveiled first. It is indeed easier for a big and wealthy company to do something. Tesla is still struggling with capital chain problems. Mr. Jobs originally wanted to acquire it, but unfortunately a group of shareholders, especially Elon Musk, did not agree. Now there is no need to acquire it. After investing nearly 6 billion US dollars, Apple’s electric vehicle technology reserves have far exceeded Tesla, an electric car factory and a super battery factory are now being built in the Santa Clara area.

Most of them will not make money in the early stage, and you will lose a little if you sell one. However, with the strong support of Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder, and the addition of the iPhone series, the iPad tablet computer just released at the end of last year has become a money-grabbing tool, even though some Apple shareholders complained about the burnout. Although he has great money, he will not really come out to object to anything, because no one dares to say that he has better vision than Ye Dongqing, not to mention that the process of building a car has been going very smoothly. He even said that as long as he has suffered losses for five consecutive years, he will Spend the money to spin off the entire department from Apple based on expenses and let him take over.

As a result, other shareholders are unwilling to let go.

Recently, because the stock price of a single share is too high, which is not conducive to circulation and trading, Apple's board of directors decided to split into five shares for one share. Ye Dongqing is still the major shareholder holding more than 60% of the shares. In fact, even if other shareholders oppose building cars, he can Use your voice to force a decision.

To be honest, when I actually saw this iCar·S, Ye Dongqing already regretted using Apple to build electric cars. Judging from the current situation, I more or less lost money. Since Tesla has succeeded, he feels that he It will work this time too, and it will be even more successful.

Two products are expected to be launched next year, which are likely to lower the entry price to US$40,000. As long as the products are good enough, they should be able to make a profit in a few years. We are already talking with the Washington government about building charging stations, starting from the east. When key cities in the west expand to the center, funding is not a problem and it is easier to do.

This is just a small spot in Ye Dongqing’s huge business landscape. It is currently not even comparable to Android companies. Last year, global shipments of Android smartphones reached more than 14 million units, and they earned more than 200 million US dollars from licensing alone. , the revenue from advertising is higher, and with the rise of smartphones, it has directly driven the development of a number of Internet companies.

Many of his casual actions have become the success that others dream of.

Looking at the hedge funds, the assets of billions of dollars back then have skyrocketed to more than 60 billion U.S. dollars. Compound interest does not pay dividends. They just made another fortune from the gold market. Excluding the money belonging to the clients, all the money belongs to Ye. Dongqing's total assets are more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The group of people who believed in him back then made a lot of money. They successfully avoided the subprime mortgage crisis that wiped out trillions of U.S. dollars and made a fortune.

Ye Dongqing has persuaded and stopped those Wall Street businessmen who are still seeking death. No wonder he entered the market to make a fortune. Nowadays, most of the funds are invested in the upstream of the smart product industry chain such as LCD screens, processors, etc., and the layout is relatively early. , the buying price is low and the return is high. He does not need to worry too much, but he can make a lot of money.

On the top floor of the Cobra Building, a new day has just begun.

Laura went to the UK to attend a friend's wedding party, while he stayed at home and was successfully woken up by his son and daughter. Lying in bed and seeing two smiling faces beside the bed, he felt an indescribable wonderful feeling in his heart.

Because of his gift, the two little guys were born billionaires. However, they didn't know it. They were still at an age where they didn't care about money. Everything seemed to come naturally to them.

He said to his daughter Ye Ying: "Take your brother out to play first. I will talk to you later about your going to school..."
