Chapter 358: A Day Trip to Washington
Out of awe of some kind of force majeure (harmony) in the dark, Ye Dongqing has always avoided too much contact with politicians, and the only person who is slightly closer is Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
This is also the reason why although he lives in the Puchuan Mansion and is a neighbor who will be upstairs and downstairs in the future, he has never talked to each other.
But at Ye Dongqing's current level, even if he doesn't take the initiative to find others, others will come to the door, such as a big secretary in Washington, who also holds the title of policy adviser, who took the initiative to come to the door today to ask to meet with Ye Dongqing, and politely invited him to Washington, D.C., to be a guest in the oval office that symbolizes the pinnacle of American power.
2004, election year.
Ye Dongqing can probably guess the deep meaning behind it, probably trying to borrow his influence among Chinese and young people to help pull votes and make a gesture.
Re-election is already doomed, the oil and arms dealers have made a fortune, Wall Street has also made a lot of money, a large group of people have benefited from it, and no one has paid attention to the shortcomings of health care reform, innocent civilians who have died in battle, etc.
Ye Dongqing really took the time to go to Washington, which was considered to pave the way for the future, saving him from not only being remembered by a group of people because of his connections, but also the process was quite pleasant, he took a lot of photos, and successfully appeared on the front page of several newspapers.
Quan Dang is a trip, to be honest, Ye Dongqing has seen a lot of darkness, and he doesn't like to associate with those people very much, the day passed, and he returned to New York in the evening, and then posted a few pictures on the Internet, praised it and it was over.
From the beginning to the end, he did not make it clear who he supported, but only said some of his own demands when doing business, such as further reducing the expenses during the mergers and acquisitions of Internet companies, as well as tax exemptions and exemptions for Internet companies, etc., and did not mention anything about his own affairs.
……
was publicized by the media, and Ye Dongqing's hedge fund was also picked up.
Someone has already received news that he is bullish on Google stocks, and the size of the sale is not small, which is interesting to a bunch of giant predators in the hedge fund industry.
was not idle, and on the second day after returning from Washington, he received two pension fund organizations and a military association, and even the United States Postal Service, a company that has been losing money for many years, actually came to the door and tried to give funds for Ye Dongqing to help manage.
It may be that someone above has said hello, and the negotiation process is quite smooth, these four companies have invested a total of more than 90 million US dollars to let Ye Dongqing help manage this asset, and many people have called through the phone written on the official website one after another to ask about the specific situation of this hedge fund company.
It seems that most of them don't have to worry about raising funds, and they have already managed more than $150 million in just two days since its establishment, and they haven't taken the initiative to contact others.
There are also many people on Wall Street who have contacted Ye Dongqing, Citibank's investment bank has expressed concern, and Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch Securities have also sent people to contact Ye Dongqing, because there is Tamsui Investment Group as a signboard, so that investors can be more assured of Ye Dongqing's ability.
Don't underestimate Ye Dongqing's current influence, just when he released the news that Google's market value was far undervalued, a wave of rising market almost sent the company's stock price to $110, not to mention other industries for the time being, he does have a lot of say in the Internet field now.
The matter of organizing the party was handed over to the secretaries and assistants to help, and I spent some money to ask a professional party organization company to help arrange the scene, and I spent it in Washington last night, and tonight Ye Dongqing became the protagonist again.
As the host, Ye Dongqing began to be busy receiving guests at more than six o'clock in the evening, the elder Bloomberg came to attend, brought a bottle of good wine as a gift, Goldman Sachs, Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, the largest investment banks, all have representatives to come to visit, there are too many rich people, some business owners are busy greeting everywhere, little Edward and his mother Mrs. Johnson also made a special trip, the gift is an antique porcelain.
Usually, Ye Dongqing and other institutions on Wall Street don't move around much, and the arrival of these people is enough to show that he has been accepted by some people.
It's right to think about it, the super-rich who are worth more than $20 billion, especially those who are only 20 years old this year, who can guess how far Ye Dongqing will go in the future? I won't say it before, since they are developing in the field of hedge funds this time, they feel that there may be places for mutual cooperation in the future, so they hope to have a good relationship as soon as possible.
It's more like a statement, if this kind of party is held next time, some people in the crowd may not necessarily come, and the strange operation model of Freshwater Investment Group is not counted, and Leo hedge fund in the eyes of the Wall Street gang means that it officially enters the market and becomes one of them.
In addition, I also want to learn more about his hedge fund to see if there are any opportunities to make money.
There are also some guests who will be Ye Dongqing's competitors in the future, the kind that is also engaged in hedge funds, there are so many funds that can be invested, there will definitely be some competition, and everyone wants potential investors to deposit their money here, which directly affects their interests.
It is ridiculous to say that there are also fund managers in this group who have the intention of investing, and they set up their own hedge funds to invest in other people's hedge funds, which can be regarded as a kind of risk hedging.
Ye Dongqing helped Bernard Madoff settle the trouble, and the fact that he took out hundreds of millions of dollars has already spread in the circle, which makes some people realize that he is a smart person and a good little guy, and some people will even think he is stupid, but they will not think he is a bastard.
Compared with a bunch of bastards, he subconsciously felt that Ye Dongqing was more worthy of trust.
Royal Salute Whisky, accompanied by a bottle of 1996 Whistling Eagle wine, plus some pink champagne and cocktails for the ladies, just around the main building on the island and the pool at the entrance, a social party began, the pianist was playing classical music, the lights were turned on, and even the butler and maid and others were changing into new clothes, and the grade looked quite good.
Mayor Bloomberg has been in New York for so many years, and he knows almost all the people on the scene, standing next to Ye Dongqing at the moment, holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, and said with a smile: "Do you want me to help you?" I still remember the first time I held this kind of party, my wife was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and it turned out that there was nothing, as long as she drank until she was happy, you could find a chat partner by yourself. ”
Let's just be a reassurance.
Mayor Bloomberg is older, and he also knows that Ye Dongqing lost his parents when he was very young and grew up in a family of relatives in a bad environment.
But so what, it's not still successful, even more successful than Bloomberg, which makes the old mayor always have a good impression of Ye Dongqing, he himself has come from poverty to today, and he knows how difficult the process is......
