Originally, Ye Dongqing was not famous, and his deeds were only spread in a small area before, but after the publicity of the Wall Street Journal, many people learned through this newspaper that a Chinese teenager in New York raised a large amount of money to do more crude oil in a short period of time, and made a lot of profits from it.

By mistake, after being ridiculed by the venture capitalist named Andy Kessler, Ye Dongqing became famous.

This is not the kind of way he wants to be famous, but it feels very cool, at the moment in the new office, with Erlang's legs crossed, lying on the leather sofa holding the newspaper, the newspaper printed yesterday, Ye Dongqing only learned about the whole thing from an employee this morning.

Miss Laura came to the door and was sitting next to him with her head sideways reading the text.

Compared with squatting in the hotel all day watching TV, or going to work on boring community services, since Tamsui Fund moved into the new headquarters, she prefers to return to Ye Dongqing as a small secretary, and she can't do complicated tasks, such as serving tea and pouring water, contacting an employee, or helping to order lunch.

Of course, it's right to have an intimate relationship in private, but it doesn't affect Laura to get a salary from Ye Dongqing through labor, she is not a "canary" type girl, and she can't trust the stinky man around her, so it's better to save money by herself.

Even the hotel she lives in now is her own money, a very small one, a little noisy at night, the advantage is cheap, just wait for Ye Dongqing to buy a mansion not long ago after the renovation is completed, this "charity" Laura can accept, after all, the salary is not high, and I didn't save much money some time ago, so I can save some.

"What a nasty guy, who is he, is he very powerful!?" There was annoyance in her voice, Laura felt that Ye Dongqing was already very powerful, and she couldn't see this greasy man who jumped out of nowhere to slander him.

Ye Dongqing's few words instantly made Laura dumbfounded, he said: "Quite a powerful guy, the assets are estimated to be more than one billion US dollars, I don't know how many specific numbers there are, I have also read his book, I was able to successfully avoid the Internet bubble crisis in the first two years, but unfortunately this time it is estimated to be planted on oil futures."

According to the newspaper, Mr. Kessler went all the way short, starting at $22 a barrel, and the losses could range from $500 to $600 million. ”

"No wonder such words are said. It's obviously jealous that you make money, but you people who are engaged in finance are really rich, and you can jump out of hundreds of millions or billions of dollars casually, such as that hateful fat man, how long does it take to earn so much by working?"

"If you go to South Korea or a small country in Africa where the currency is worthless, you can also have a long list of zeros in your account, work hard, according to your current salary...... It is estimated that you can earn that much in a few hundred years. ”

Just joking, Ye Dongqing closed the newspaper and threw it beside him, and then said: "Don't just stare at the very few people who have made money, there are at least millions of people engaged in finance in the United States, and only a few are really rich, relatively speaking, the proportion of the total group is higher, who makes them smart and discerning." ”

Laura felt that she had been hit and said in an unhappy tone: "I'm going to learn these too, and remember to lend me those books you bought when the time comes!"

"Take whatever you want, let you cooperate with me at that time, you don't want to give you shares, you missed the opportunity to make a fortune in vain, you can't blame me. If you're smart enough, you should learn from me to invest in those stocks now, and maybe you'll become a multimillionaire with all that money in the future?"

“…… Not to mention it, this is the stupidest decision I've ever made, or I would have bought my own car, a house, and college tuition by now!"

I don't know if Laura listened or not, he said again: "I'm serious, go invest in Amazon and Apple stocks, you can open an account anywhere, anyway, you don't need money recently, and you can continue to get your salary next." ”

"Okay, I'm going to ask Kanek and ask him to open an account for me, I've never bought stocks before, I don't know what to do. ”

At this moment, Laura didn't know how much Ye Dongqing's suggestion was worth, so she really ran to Kaneke for help for this little thing, leaving Ye Dongqing alone in the office.

No quirks to myself, the new office is large enough, with a brand new desk by the window and a few extra pots of greenery in the corner.

The decoration style is not luxurious, and it looks comfortable when it is clean.

His eyes were once again on the Wall Street Journal, and he thought that the matter would be so calm that it might bring some new clients to Tamsui Fund, but just over ten minutes later, the news came that the ABC TV staff was trying to interview him.

They hope that Ye Dongqing will be in the news, ABC's evening news program "orld-Nes-No" to fight back against some of Mr. Andy Kessler's views, and several newspapers also hope to have an exclusive interview with him face-to-face to talk about his life and entrepreneurship, including the New York Times, one of the largest circulation newspapers in the United States, and the Wall Street Journal, which has just published an article.

People wanted to know more about how he made his fortune, and in a matter of months he went from an ordinary high school student to a multi-millionaire with a name on Wall Street, the story was so popular that The New York Times even promised to put interviews on its front page as proof that the "American Dream" would be on Wall Street as well.

As California's largest newspaper, the Los Angeles Times certainly won't miss the excitement, considering that there are millions of Chinese in California on the West Coast, many of whom subscribe to its newspaper, and the San Francisco Chronicle has been unaware of it and sent an invitation for an exclusive interview.

These interview invitations were all passed to Ye Dongqing one after another in one day, a total of 24 newspapers and two television stations, if he only made tens or millions of dollars, of course he would not receive this kind of attention, and the news of tens of millions of dollars in just three months is worth the media organizations competing for first-hand scoops.

There are so many invitations that Ye Dongqing feels embarrassed, he passes directly on the TV station or something, his fame and status are not enough, he will only be embarrassed if he goes now, and he has to fly all the way to Los Angeles.

He chose a Chinese newspaper to prepare for a telephone interview, but in addition to the difficulty between the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the New York Times, the circulation was not much different, and he was worried about the front page, and finally chose the New York Times for an exclusive interview.

More urgent than expected, I just called back to the "New York Times", and the other party immediately asked him to rush to No. 229 West 43rd Street now, most likely because the front page tomorrow is boring and ready to be temporarily replaced.

The time for printing newspapers is generally scheduled after twelve o'clock, in case there is any breaking news, and it is only seven o'clock now, so it can be in time.

*****************

There are so many wealthy people in New York that it is impossible to say how much attention the New York Times takes him.

Ye Dongqing is just lucky, young, still a Chinese, this has received some attention, the main reason is that there are too few successful Chinese in the United States, time has passed for decades, and it is still the most representative of Bruce Lee, during which there were some rich people, such as Wang An, the computer Wang An, and Yahoo founder Yang Zhiyuan, etc., but the influence is very limited.

In line with the idea of promoting the Freshwater Fund, he quickly packed up, handed the girl over to Laura to help take care of her, and drove alone to the agreed location.

The New York Times headquarters building has not changed places for nearly 100 years since it moved to Times Square at the beginning of the last century, and has long since become one of the iconic buildings, and he knows the road as a native of New York.

The newspaper has been prepared in advance, and the cameraman seems to be in a bad mood, probably because he has to work overtime, so he took a photo of Ye Dongqing with a stinky face, and then asked him to be interviewed.

After a brief remark by the reporter's name, John Philo, the two sat down at a desk, each with a notebook and a voice recorder ready to jot down some points.

It can be seen how careless, and he doesn't even mean to pour a cup of tea for Ye Dongqing.

Forget it, what surprised him was that the other party's first question was very sharp: "How long have you been moving to the United States? We are a very good country, right, as long as you have the ability, you can make money, and it is protected by the law." ”

"My family should have moved here longer than you, and I grew up here, sir. ”

felt uncomfortable, but Ye Dongqing was still patient, and explained in a calm tone, to be honest, he didn't like the sense of superiority that white people often have, if the country was really good, then there wouldn't be so many poor people near Chinatown.

"Yes, I thought you had just immigrated here, and it seems that there are some problems with the information I have gathered, sorry, I rushed to prepare some information, and I didn't have time to prepare properly if you replied too late. ”

After the reporter finished coughing dryly, the reporter changed the subject and asked, "So what I want to know is, what exactly did you do to make so much money through oil futures in such a short period of time?"

That's a bit of a normal problem.

Ye Dongqing replied: "I make investors believe in me, give a very high rate of return, and then I use the funds raised to invest, my wealth is not only from crude oil futures, but also from investing in stocks, in fact, I still continue to hold them." ”

"So...... Is it true that some colleagues said that your family is very rich and that you are said to be very wealthy in Xiangjiang? A netizen speculated that you are related to a family that runs a freighter, and their surname is the same as yours. ”

"There are a lot of Chinese with the surname Ye, my parents died in an accident a few years ago, they are just ordinary people, and then they grew up in my aunt's house, there is no so-called family background, I can have my current achievements, all rely on my own efforts. ”

"That's right. ”

Reporter Philo sounded disappointed in his voice, this was not the news content he hoped to catch, and continued to write in his notebook, crossing out a few questions that he thought would be useful.
