Chapter 321: Foreign Aid
Ye Dongqing pointed to the mobile phone and made a lip shape with the name "Bernard", and Mr. Madoff understood it as soon as he heard it, so he kept silent.
With a little curiosity and anxiety, he didn't mean to leave first, but stood there with blazing eyes, wanting to hear what the little boss had to say to the old man.
However, Old Bernard heard other people's voices, and directly ended the conversation, and after putting down the phone, Ye Dongqing sat on the chair, lay down and crossed his feet on the side of the desk, and said:
"As the news from the outside has spread, Bernard Madoff Sr. has really gotten into some trouble before, and the funding gap is not large, more than $700 million in total, and in order to avoid causing a wave of withdrawals, I will be responsible for stabilizing his group of investors. Believe me, it's still worth the money, stability is the most important thing at the moment, and I can afford to lose it. ”
If you sit idly by and force the old man into a hurry, who knows what secrets he can leak?
Ye Dongqing would rather spend some money now and bear the trouble alone, rather than want his reputation to be stained, if others knew that he had known that the old Bernard was engaged in a Ponzi scheme a long time ago, maybe they could pull him into the water, people's imagination has always been rich, especially when someone maliciously targeted Tamsui Investment Group recently.
Mr. Madoff was very unwilling, but he could also understand the situation, stood at the desk and asked, "Then what are you going to do, I mean the specific solution, the Madoff family will definitely not be able to return the money to you, right?"
"Possibly, but I've done them so much, don't expect to get out easily. Anyway, this time Bernard Madoff Sr. is targeted by the prosecutor, most likely he will be imprisoned, if his son Mark can clear his name, I will let him help me deal with some things to pay off the debt, that guy is still smart, I will give him a chance. ”
The gap of more than 700 million US dollars, Ye Dongqing has the ability to fill it, and the topic continued: "At present, what I am most worried about is that the original Bernard Madoff investors will choose to withdraw their capital, it doesn't matter if the amount does not exceed 5 billion US dollars, and it can also reduce the debt pressure of our company, but it may be a little troublesome if it is more, remember to help me receive those investors, if anyone is willing, then transfer the funds invested in the old Bernard to our company according to the amount, with an annualized rate of return of nine points."
If you don't agree, then just take the money and leave, don't want interest or anything, if it weren't for my help, most of them wouldn't even be able to get the principal back, so do as I want. ”
Since this week, there have been troubles one after another, Mr. McCord feels a lot of pressure, he knows that Ye Dongqing is under more pressure, so he swallowed all the words that expressed anxiety, although he will inevitably lose some wealth in the short term, but it is still within the range of bearing, some time ago, he invested in crude oil futures and made almost two billion US dollars, which could not hurt the company.
With a little aggrieved tone, he said to Ye Dongqing: "When I find out who is doing the trick, I must taste the bitter fruit of our company!"
"I'm also asking people to help investigate, I should be able to get some results recently, yesterday a guy said he wanted to talk to me, and he knew that he would meet and talk, maybe he could catch the guy behind him, but unfortunately his head was hot at the time, and he directly asked the other party to get out, otherwise the old Bernard may not be exposed today. ”
I finally began to regret it, if only I hadn't remembered the money in Old Bernard's hand at the beginning, anyway, I could always raise enough money by waiting for a while, and I didn't have to carry the black pot.
Something has happened, and the most important thing to think about at the moment is how to solve it.
In fact, the best way is to agree to accept financing, and then choose a few powerful companies to cooperate with him, but Ye Dongqing knows that if he endures it for another two or three years, Facebook may be able to bring tens of billions of dollars in returns to himself, and he is really reluctant to share the cake with others now, and he is not short of money to maintain expansion operations.
Moreover, now the news has mostly gotten out.
If you back down at this time, people will say in the days to come, "Look, you surrender obediently as soon as you are frightened, what a business genius, you are more cowardly than a woman", this is what Ye Dongqing can't bear, and it makes him more uncomfortable than paying out of his pocket to help old Bernard fill the gap.
Revenge is definitely wanted, but until now, the helpers from Washington that Ye Dongqing invited have not been able to find out who is doing the ghost, which makes him feel the need to change directions.
Asked Mr. McCord to wait a while, he took out his mobile phone and made a call, he didn't want to make this call, but there was really no one at hand, and after being connected, he asked, "Little Edward?"
"Yes, I'm right, I sincerely regret those things, I think you're okay, right?, what's going on with Mr. Madoff, is it really a Ponzi scheme?" came the fat man's voice, as if gloating.
Ye Dongqing was so angry that he rolled his eyes, and had the urge to hang up the phone, so he restrained himself and got straight to the point: "When Facebook finances, I promise to give you a 10% share, whether you can eat it depends on your own ability, if you really can't borrow money from your mother, the premise is to help me find out who is messing with me, and I am in a bad mood if I don't take revenge." ”
Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, Tamsui Investment Group has just encountered some trouble on the front foot, many investors can't wait to call to inquire about the situation, small customers can deal with it casually, it doesn't matter if they withdraw their capital or not, and the call from a large customer with an investment amount of more than 100 million yuan was transferred to Mr. McCord, who was also talking to others on the phone.
Edward Johnson Jr., whose mother has long been at the top of the list of the richest women in the world, has been coveting Facebook for more than a day or two, and when he heard that 10 percent of the share is not enough, he said: "Fifteen percent, as long as you promise to go to my mother's side now, the gang under her must have a way to know more!"
"Dream! Just 10 percent, it's unlikely to accept financing in the near future, tell me who it is, I'll sign a financing memorandum with you, say OK if you say yes, if you don't agree, get out, my wealth hasn't been affected much. ”
This is telling little Edward not to try to rob while the fire is hot.
It is one thing to take the initiative to bring financing to others, and it is another thing to be forced to accept financing, Ye Dongqing can give it if he wants to, but he doesn't want to be robbed.
After hearing this, Little Edward said depressedly: "You have squeezed all the benefits clean, do you want me to take over for you? No, at most within half a year, it will definitely not work if it grows." ”
"Then I'll recommend you a good stock, and if it doesn't increase fivefold in ten years, I'll pay for it myself. ”
"Deal!"
The fat man's excitement could be heard over the phone, "Leo, this is what you said yourself, I'll contact you after I find out the clues, let the lawyer come over later, let's sign a contract, what if you lie to me, say five times as much as you ......"
