Ye Dongqing has enough time and freedom to think about some things that ordinary people don't think about often.

At different levels, his pursuits have become different, and he has long had no worries about the material aspect, so he often thinks about what he should do next and what he should pursue.

Take the 8 million mosquito nets donated to Africa, for him it is only more than 20 million US dollars, but it may save the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of African residents, which is a very meaningful thing in Ye Dongqing's view, and it is also very meaningful to donate Apple computers to China so that poor children in mountainous areas have the opportunity to study.

I didn't think there was anything about charity before, but now I realize that spending money to help others can really buy happiness.

Of course, it is also a good thing to bring some good reputation by the way, and if it weren't for the fact that Freshwater Investment Group is currently carrying too much debt, he feels that he should continue to help more people without delaying his own life and future.

After all, he is not the richest man in the world at the moment, and one of his small goals is to get this dazzling title and keep it for a long time.

In addition, I also want to prove to myself that even if I go across banks to engage in hedging, I can be successful.

No one put pressure on Ye Dongqing, this is what he wants to gain a sense of accomplishment through hard work, just like no one uses a gun to force others to joke about the rest of their lives to climb Mount Everest, and no one forces anyone to go to the cliff to climb with bare hands, he is also free, in fact, he can let time pass, and earn countless benefits with his current investment, but Ye Dongqing always feels that something is missing in his previous life, and he has lost the passion when he first started his business.

Thinking about it, it was probably the fascinating unknown and the sense of accomplishment, so he agreed with Mr. McCord's suggestion to start a "second business......

However, unfortunately, the long-term goal is quite easy to find, but it is very difficult to find a suitable short-term goal, and Ye Dongqing sat there for the next few hours, not going anywhere except the bathroom, filled his mind with a bunch of data and information, and was so worried that he drank two cups of black coffee in a row.

I have a little clue, but it's not safe, and I feel that it won't have much effect if I continue to toss like this, so I can only forget it like this today.

sighed deeply and muttered to himself: "It's really difficult for ordinary people to get rich." ”

Suddenly remembering that he had just been busy collecting and sorting out information, he forgot to write a letter to the group of potential investors, and he was so tired that he didn't want to use his brain anymore, so he simply stripped naked and changed into swimming trunks and went to swim in the pool at the door.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Dongqing swam back and forth more than ten times, and then took a shower and went to the private theater to find a movie to watch, and he suddenly admired the hedge fund managers who didn't rely on inside information.

But if you think about it, it doesn't seem that their chances of success are very high, and more often than not, they just make a small spread.

......

The hedge fund department is preparing to start operating, and most of the core layers are veterans of Freshwater Investment Group, and the run-in period is not expected to be too long.

This is Ye Dongqing's private little hobby, he abuses himself to play, and he can't lose the really important business, just after eating the next morning, a stranger was ushered in on the island, a white old man named John Stiller, who was looking through the car window, looking at everything on the island with amazing eyes.

Before Ye Dongqing invested in Green Mountain Coffee, Mr. John Stiller was the majority shareholder and founder of Green Mountain Coffee, and in the first half of this year, Freshwater Investment gave him a purchase agreement that he could not refuse, and now the old man only holds six percent of the shares, and the other co-founder has almost emptied the shares of Green Mountain Coffee and traveled the world to enjoy his old age.

The sturdy adult stallion was ready, Ye Dongqing personally came to the door to greet him, the two rode around the island, chatted about the company's recent developments, and cut straight to the point like an ordinary American conversation.

"I think there is a problem with the company's current development, in my opinion, the main office market is far from enough, Green Mountain Coffee should enter more families, and the current performance does not satisfy me. ”

Ye Dongqing's words sounded a bit like blame to Mr. John Stiller, but his tone was very calm, and he even had a smile on his face.

This makes the old Mr. Stiller a little confused, since the freshwater investment group into the shares, the sales of Green Mountain coffee have increased gratifyingly, the third quarter has increased by eight points compared with the same period last year, and the management and operating costs have also been greatly compressed, today I came to talk about advertising on Facebook, and now the old man held back those words and told:" We've tried to reach more households, but the market is almost gone, and it's hard to grab a piece of the pie unless it's bombarded with advertising to make people willing to throw away their current coffee machines and buy our products instead. ”

At present, Green Mountain Coffee's profit last year was only more than 13 million US dollars, and it is estimated that it will rise to almost 20 million this year.

Originally, this kind of achievement could make old Mr. Stiller proud, after all, the income was much stronger than that of ordinary small companies, but in front of Ye Dongqing, a perverted Chinese little guy, he really didn't dare to say anything, and now he could kick his founder out.

"I can see your efforts, sir, the idea is good, but it is not enough, I think the potential of Green Mountain Coffee is far underestimated.

The reason why I came to you today is mainly to talk to you about the delisting of Green Mountain Coffee from the NASDAQ, the listing will only drag down its development, and it will not help much, right, I will give the company more financial support after the delisting, including funding the acquisition of Krieger Company, winning its K cup and coffee machine production patents, and making full use of the Internet resources in my hands to promote this company. ”

That's right, Ye Dongqing is ready to forcibly privatize this cash cow company and delist it, since a company can be listed, it can naturally be delisted after meeting certain conditions.

Unlike some bad companies that are forced to delist, privatization is often premised on good prospects, and the controlling shareholder believes that the company's stock price is obviously undervalued, so the stock price is cheap at this time, and it is profitable to buy back a large number of shares.

After privatization, Freshwater Investment Group can greatly reduce the loss of letting other shareholders share the company's profits, enhance the control of Green Mountain Coffee, and be less restricted by investment institutions and regulators, and no longer have mandatory information disclosure requirements when listing, and also save a lot of information maintenance costs, many benefits, almost no disadvantages, the only disadvantage is that it must be compensated to scattered minority shareholders, and take out real money to buy back shares from them, and the premium rate is likely to exceed 40 percent, or even 45 percent.

Old Stiller was obviously a little confused, and almost fell off the horse, and asked Ye Dongqing in a daze: "Privatization and delisting, are you sure this is the real idea?"

"Otherwise, could it be that you came all the way to come here just to joke with you?"
