There is very little communication with little Edward, and the number of times he counts is only two faces.

One was when he was invited to Boston, and the other was Ms. Johnson's party, and he had almost no good feelings for each other, and Ye Dongqing had also pit a full 10 million dollars from him.

There is no contact information, and it is not strange that little Edward found him through a lawyer, but it is strange why he was being looked for.

Inexplicably, I feel that there are pitfalls in it, such as framing myself for violating the confidentiality agreement, or trying to find some way to make myself unlucky, etc., the bad impression has been left in Ye Dongqing's mind, and he has no intention of thinking about the benefits, and he took tens of millions of dollars from him last time, even if he doesn't care about "such a small amount of money", it is certain that he will lose face.

In the eyes of the rich, honor is often more important than face, no matter what, it is definitely not that they want to meet and thank themselves, which Ye Dongqing is very sure of.

After inquiring, it was found that the old lawyer on the other end of the phone did not know the specific reason, and after thinking for a while, he decided to agree to meet first, if the guy was not convinced and decided to carry out a second gambling agreement, it would definitely be a good thing for Ye Dongqing, after all, the pace of war is approaching, and oil prices are likely to rise in the near future, and the part of oil futures that he bought has helped the company earn more than seven million US dollars.

The meeting was on Wall Street, the same Starbucks café he frequented.

It was only seven o'clock in the evening, and I was not interested in having dinner with the fat man who was quite rich, and I was already full in the Chinese restaurant, Ye Dongqing sent Zhao Liuli and Laura back, and went out alone to walk to the appointment.

There are rats running by the street, not one, three in a row, running down the drain from the garbage can, the garbage around the garbage can is blown away by the cold wind, it is hard to imagine that such a place is one of the world's economic centers, the neighborhood is a well-known thing that the environment is bad, relatively speaking, the vicinity of the Puchuan Building is much better.

From north to south, Manhattan is located on the Upper East Side east of Central Park, where there are more companies in Midtown, and the living environment is also very good, and many top wealthy people like to buy real estate in Midtown.

Little Edward's family is rich, and it is standard to go out with a few bodyguards.

Not long after he sat down, he saw two Rolls-Royces parked in front of the café, and a bloated young man struggled to get out of the car, if it weren't for the large enough space in the back, passers-by even wondered if he would have been stuck.

Even on Wall Street, it is rare to see such a rich guy in the family, born with a golden key in his mouth, he never knew what it was like to be short of money, his parents helped arrange everything, and gave a huge trust fund that was enough for several generations to eat and drink, Ye Dongqing spurned this rich second generation at the same time, he was more or less envious.

I work hard, but I can't compare to others who have a good mother, who got a trust of hundreds of millions of dollars when she just became an adult, life is not like this, some people step on mud barefoot, some people use private jets as toys since childhood, and the gap has existed since birth.

Such a big mountain of gold and silver, if you don't gamble and don't scatter indiscriminately, it is not easy to sit and eat all the empty mountains.

Ye Dongqing himself can't become a rich second generation, but he hopes that his children can also become rich people in the future, and it is best that when others mention it, they will always add the sentence "Isn't it the kind of good old man", just thinking about it makes me feel comfortable......

When Edward Johnson Jr. sat down opposite Ye Dongqing, he clearly felt that the surface of the coffee on the table rippled because of the vibration.

The smell of cologne is quite strong, and his face is shiny, and the other party is the first to speak: "Don't worry, I didn't come here today to trouble you, the previous things will be treated as if they never happened, I saved face, you got the money for the settlement, so high rate of return, I have to admit defeat." ”

Let's take it as a compliment to myself, Ye Dongqing didn't answer, and asked bluntly: "I came out on a special trip, I don't just want to say this, just say something directly, you are busy and I am busy, there is no need to waste time." ”

This is exactly what little Edward wants, he is too lazy to play the game of resolving contradictions, there are no pure friends in the business field, and there is no absolute interest, and he said with a smile: "Then let's talk about business directly, I already know that you have met Mr. Buffett, and he rejected the investment proposal, you should find me for this kind of thing, I have a large amount of idle money in my hand and there is no place to invest for the time being."

Putting aside the previous contradictions, I think we can cooperate, but the specific model has to be talked about more carefully, after all, I am the one who pays the money, and I take a lot of risks, I think you understand what I mean, I can invest a sum of money in you, but I have to get more. ”

How naïve do you have to be to get along with money for no reason?

Ye Dongqing didn't expect this, and suddenly found that the guy in front of him didn't seem to be so annoying, and understood that Little Edward wanted to increase the share ratio, shook his head and said with a smile: "I really should make some changes, before that I want to ask a question, how do you know about what I discussed with Mr. Buffett?"

"What's the secret in New York? Whatever I want to know will be known eventually. Little Edward replied to him like this, probably because he was worried that it would reach Mr. Buffett's ears, and deliberately concealed his source.

When we met, Mr. Buffett was surrounded by assistants in addition to bodyguards, and the old man would definitely not talk about it everywhere, and the scope was narrowed down to those few people.

Ye Dongqing just asked casually, not really caring about this kind of thing, shrugged his shoulders and asked, "How do you want to cooperate, if I think it's appropriate, you can consider it."

Since you came to me, it shows that you value my investment vision, which is a good start for our possible future cooperation. At present, I have a good project in hand, but it is right to lack money to invest, but if I can't feel your sincerity and make me feel humiliated, I will definitely leave immediately, and don't talk about any cooperation in the future. ”

The attitude was bad enough, which made little Edward think that he really had some good projects.

Last time, because of the impulsive gambling matter, he suffered a big loss here Ye Dongqing, during the gambling period, he specially invited someone to investigate the company of Tamsui Fund, Ye Dongqing's own life resume was also included in the scope of the investigation, and the conclusions reached impressed little Edward, and the results later proved that he did have strength.

I can't talk about good feelings, but in Little Edward's mind, he has been divided into the category of "smart people with vision", so this time by chance, I learned that Ye Dongqing had talked to Mr. Warren Buffett about investment, and after the two sides did not talk about it, they immediately came over to find him.

Little Edward's heart also clanged, in his opinion, it was good to make money, but even if he lost money, he could still let Ye Dongqing pay money to make up for the loss, if he could make this guy bankrupt, it would be a good thing, and he would not lose too much left and right.

Ye Dongqing's agreement with Mr. Buffett Sr. is not bad, at least in his eyes, it already belongs to the category of sincerity, but unfortunately it was rejected in the end, at this moment little Edward took the initiative to come to the door, considering the long-term benefits that may be brought in the future, so that he had to temporarily put aside the estrangement and choose to cooperate, in a sentence that Wall Street people often say - after all, money is innocent.

Each has its own calculations.

Little Edward had a false smile on his face and said to him: "Of course I am full of sincerity, but the pay is not equal to the return, I know that you don't have much money to invest now, you need to invest very much, don't you."

And according to the conditions you said to Mr. Buffett Sr., as the party contributing the money, it is not a very reasonable request to ask for an increase in profit sharing on the premise of taking risks?"

If the bloated rich second generation in front of him was really as stupid as he looked, Ms. Johnson would never give him so much money when he became an adult, and let little Edward try to invest and manage his own money, Ye Dongqing did not underestimate him, and felt that it was necessary to be cautious and cautious.

Although whites and blacks like to go straight, which makes conspiracy theories seem superficial and simple, and the stabbing is not as good as the Chinese, for safety reasons, they still filter his words in their heads two or three times to ensure that they don't fall into the pit.

Ye Dongqing nodded and replied: "Very reasonable request, in order to show my sincerity, I can redesign a sharing agreement, so that the preconditions for your capital preservation remain unchanged, and set an option reward target similar to the company's executives, every time I reach a certain higher number, I can get more shares, what do you think of this suggestion?"

“...... Yes, but tell me what exactly the investment project is. Little Edward said.

"Do you see a private equity fund manager who will tell others all the hole cards? Can you tell you the general range, the Internet industry, which is a long-term investment, may be held for more than ten years, but if you want to withdraw your investment, just tell me in advance.

On the premise of not losing money within two years, you can't withdraw at will, but if you lose money, I will calculate it according to the highest treasury bond interest rate, so that you can get all your money back with interest, and after more than two years, I will give you a chance to withdraw every quarter, which will be written into the contract. ”

Ye Dongqing would be stupid enough to tell him what to invest, otherwise Little Edward could completely leave him alone and do it alone, because he was confident that he would have enough funds in two years, so he was not worried about getting into trouble at all.

If this cooperation can really be negotiated, there are still many details to be discussed, and the two sides are testing each other's attitude and trying to formulate the big framework first.

Withdraw at any time after two years, and it is also a principal-guaranteed investment, except for Ye Dongqing's capital cannot be guaranteed, and it will definitely be returned in full at that time, they are undoubtedly more beneficial to Little Edward.

With the mentality that even if he can't make money, he can take the opportunity to humiliate Ye Dongqing, little Edward smiled on his face and said: "I can accept this, but you give Mr. Buffett an agreement to double the profits for five years, and I only give you three years, can you accept this?"
