Chapter 132: Delivery
The back-to-school season is just around the corner.
After nearly a month of vacation in Australia, Edward Johnson Jr.'s private jet landed at JFK International Airport today.
In mid-February, the air on the streets of New York was still cool, and this guy had been busy losing weight lately, looking a little thinner, saying goodbye to a few enthusiastic girls when he got off the plane, and signing a few checks in return for the fun he had with him during this time.
I hadn't been to the company for a long time, and I was not in a hurry to go home for the time being, and sitting in the back seat of the spacious car, he asked his secretary, "Is there anything worth paying attention to lately?"
The young secretary thought for a moment and told him, "The Chinese you invested in, the one named Leo, seems to have made a lot of money lately. Because the price of crude oil futures has been rising, it has exceeded $29 a barrel, but I don't know if he has sold the futures contract in his hand.
Washington seems to be preparing to use force against Iraq, and the owner of the Oval Office has publicly declared his claims, which has had a great stimulating effect on oil prices, and now everyone knows that he is making money, you remember, he has spoken openly about crude oil futures in the newspapers. ”
"The price of crude oil is more than twenty-nine dollars?!"
A vacation is a vacation, and for nearly a month, Edward Jr. has completely forgotten about his work and handed over the company to professional managers.
Instantly remembered the starting price, it was only a little more than 25 US dollars, which means that the more than 20 million barrels of oil invested with his money have been held with a profit of about 100 million US dollars!
After calculating an approximate number, little Edward immediately said angrily: "You should have told me about this kind of thing earlier! So now that he has cashed out, or is he still holding it?"
“...... I'm calling the finance department right now and asking if someone of them is overseeing your investment. ”
***********
After entering February, the price of crude oil futures continued to rise, and the highest day rose by 4.6 percent, and Ye Dongqing made a lot of money.
In other words, while he made money, he also helped Little Edward earn a lot of money, but due to insufficient funds, he was held and was on the weak side, but no matter what, part of this fund belonged to Ye Dongqing, which was an additional income that had nothing to do with Freshwater Fund Company.
On the side of Tamsui Fund Company, after using about 15 million US dollars to enter the market, it achieved a net profit of more than 37.3 million US dollars before tax by the end of closing, and the book funds were instantly abundant.
And the investment money belonging to Little Edward was also sold in batches today, turned into cash into the account, thanks to Washington, but also thanks to those oil and arms dealers, so that Ye Dongqing's pockets bulged up all of a sudden, calculating his total worth, it has slightly exceeded the $100 million mark!
In the financial industry, as long as the vision is good enough, it is not difficult to make money, from a poor boy living in a dilapidated apartment, to earn this kind of value, Ye Dongqing only took four months.
At this time, the last futures order was sold, the price was slightly lower than the current price, and the successful transaction was instantaneous, and the stone that had recently pressed on his chest was moved away instantly, and he gambled on the right time, and he was going to shout "Everyone can get a bonus!", but after thinking about it, many new employees have just come for less than a month, and today's performance has nothing to do with them, and giving bonuses is simply a waste of money.
Ye Dongqing was very happy in his heart, and planned to take out a part of the income belonging to Little Edward, about two or three million US dollars as bonuses and benefits, and distribute them to himself and some of the management personnel.
You can't work in vain, according to the agreement stipulated in the contract, normal personnel expenses can be misappropriated from the profits, but it must be agreed by little Edward himself, he believes that the other party will not be too picky in this kind of thing, after all, after putting aside the handling fee, this time he earned more than 95 million dollars.
After this period of promotion, the number of registered users has exceeded three million, calculating the cost, and the advertising fee is evenly distributed to each registered user, which costs about a little more than a dollar, and recently its expansion has accelerated, and these users spontaneously began to promote Facebook.
Calculated from the ready-made examples, Facebook can already offer about $30 million for external financing, including the cost price of equipment worth more than $10 million, and he has not really tried the idea of financing, so it is difficult to say whether it can obtain financing at a price of $30 million or even higher.
The funds on hand have been abundant in the past two days, Ye Dongqing is ready to continue to pay out of his own pocket to maintain operations, advertising and profit have not been put on the agenda for the time being, and the top priority is still to expand the scale of users, strive for continuous improvement, and develop more perfect products.
Since the end of last year, he has begun to accumulate layouts and now, and his wealth has recently increased dramatically, hearing Ms. Vigo ask what his next plan is, Ye Dongqing laughed and said: "I don't have any plans, I want to rest for a few days to watch the development of the situation, and prepare to seize the next opportunity!"
This refers to the period when the war really breaks out, the price of crude oil may go through a period of collapse, go long now, and wait until then you can start buying the bottom.
Or because he is not at ease, otherwise he will wait for another week or two, and wait until the war really appears before delivery, maybe he will be able to make more money, but in Ye Dongqing's opinion, it is too risky, and the current profit is enough to satisfy him, and there is no need to continue to wade into troubled waters.
The recent crude oil futures market is full of demons, and if you are not careful, you will lose the profits that can be put in your pocket.
......
Ye Dongqing opened champagne in the company to celebrate, and Little Edward also received accurate news.
I was so happy when I learned that the profits were so huge, I sat in the car and laughed so much that I couldn't close my mouth, and the secretary sitting in the passenger seat laughed and said: "Mr. Johnson, I think that since you have made such a huge profit, you should think about the next thing, I personally suggest that you withdraw your capital directly and default now, or default when the profit increases to 120 million US dollars, there is no need to continue to put the principal and profits in the hands of that young Chinese at the same time."
If you are lucky enough to succeed once, it does not mean that you can succeed a second time, and the crude oil futures market has been so good recently that even your mother is paying attention, and he suddenly sells it all, which may cause you to lose a considerable profit. ”
It can't be said to be a bad suggestion, it has only been a little more than a month to invest in Ye Dongqing, even if it is treated according to the breach of contract and 50% of the income is compensated to Ye Dongqing, little Edward can get more than 40 million US dollars, which is undoubtedly a huge amount of money.
And if he waits and defaults after the income is more than doubled, he only needs to give Ye Dongqing 30% of the profits, which is stipulated in the contract, when the negotiation was made, Edward's team helped him get a very good agreement clause, and Ye Dongqing was the one who suffered more.
After seriously considering this suggestion, little Edward felt that it seemed feasible, and said smartly: "If I take the money and leave, it will probably lead to the miscarriage of his next investment plan." ”
"Then you should withdraw your investment, right? The investment plan is up to him, but we don't know whether to make or lose money next, judging from Leo Ye's aggressive investment style, there is a high probability that you will lose a lot of money. ”
The secretary continued.
Little Edward is not stupid, he has his own ideas: "But think about it, according to the agreement, he can get 30% of the profit after the profit exceeds 120 million dollars, and I break the contract now, he can get 50% of the current profit."
Then why don't I gamble anymore, instead of handing over the liquidated damages to him and then breaking up, I should continue to believe him, anyway, as long as I lose more than half of my current profits, I won't lose anything, that guy is such a financial genius! I can't help but want to tell my mother, she will be very happy......"
Ye Dongqing didn't know what happened to Little Edward, he was still in a state of extreme excitement, and after giving him the benefits of today's early holiday and employee dinner, he locked himself in the office and buried himself in studying the next development plan.
Facebook must add a piece of financing, the amount of warrants can be increased a little, the business of the Golden Island Wealth Management Company is going smoothly, and funds continue to flow into the freshwater fund, considering that the warrants will expire one after another, sufficient funds must be set aside, and you can use idle funds for short-term financial management, such as buying official bonds that are about to expire, and mosquito legs are also meat.
During this period, I received a phone call from Rolls-Royce, telling me that the new car had been delivered to New York, asking where it should be delivered.
More than an hour later, a second phone call came, and the other party told him that the new car was across the road from the Puchuan Building, and asked him to sign for the inspection.
As the first product launched by the German BMW Group after the acquisition of Rolls-Royce, the Rolls-Royce Phantom series has made a huge breakthrough compared with the previous generation in terms of appearance and performance, with an elegant and luxurious interior, and the reason why it can be obtained so quickly is because Ye Dongqing's order number is ranked nineteenth, and he is willing to give up some customization privileges and buy a new car that was being assembled at the time.
For safety reasons, this kind of car will not be driven over, when Ye Dongqing called Laura to go with him to get the car, he happened to see the workers driving the car and getting it out of the cabin of the truck.
The gold logo, the umbrella in the door, the bi-side door, etc., these are the hallmarks of the Phantom, and after sitting in and reading it, signing the receiving documents, someone came up and asked, "Wow, this car is a new Rolls-Royce car, right, how much did it cost?"
"Forty hundred and twenty thousand dollars, the regular version is slightly cheaper, and I've made some interior and exterior changes to it. ”
Without the meaning of small talk, Ye Dongqing turned his head and asked Laura: "How about taking you shopping and trying a new car.......?"
