The area of New York City is not small, and it is really inconvenient to travel without a car.

Ye Dongqing is really fed up with crowding the subway, and he is used to living a comfortable life, and he always feels that the cramped environment is very aggrieved.

But there is no way, this little bit of family background on his body is not enough to buy a slightly better car, the bad antique cars are not willing to buy, and the better ones can't afford to buy, so he will simply squeeze the subway and take a taxi, he doesn't think he will be poor for long, and he has to endure it at present.

Fifth Avenue is one of the most expensive shopping districts in the world, not even the Champs-Élysées in France and Bond Street in the UK, and slightly worse than Rodeo Avenue in the United States.

Just because rent is expensive doesn't mean everything is expensive.

Many merchants like to open stores on Fifth Avenue for publicity reasons, and they don't think about recovering their capital by selling goods, but they are more like advertising to increase their fame.

Unexpectedly, after seeing some brands with his own eyes, Ye Dongqing found some high-quality potential stocks with extremely high returns.

At this time, he was standing in front of the fast-moving clothing store ZARA, and if I remember correctly, its parent company would be worth more than $100 billion at its peak, but it was a lot less than the rate of return that might come from investing in Apple.

It's still 2002, and looking at the next ten years, it seems that there is no industry with a higher rate of return and more stability than investing in the IT industry.

If he spends his time creating a company, it is possible to bring tens of thousands of times the return, he has already thought of the general development idea, and the current only funds and talents are needed to realize the ideas in his mind, so it is particularly important to quickly accumulate capital.

Old Sam hadn't called him yet, and for fear of missing the opportunity, he didn't dare to put his phone on silent mode, and was still waiting patiently.

After entering the ZARA clothing retail store, he first matched two sets of clothes for himself, and the one he was wearing was not broken, but the style was really unsightly, and the jeans were washed to white.

The money spent on clothes, food, and transportation was not enough to affect his future development, and he finally lived again, and he did not want to treat himself badly in these aspects, and if it were not for the small coffers of old Sam, moving would have been on his agenda.

After changing into new clothes, he was already quite happy, and suddenly felt that the "poor and happy" in people's mouths was exactly what they said. After eating the barbecue buffet, my heart was more satisfied, and I went out after settling the bill, and happened to pass by in front of the Nokia mobile phone store.

When the clerk sold him the latest mobile phone, Ye Dongqing almost couldn't hold back his laughter, mainly because the other party used the adjective "the best mobile phone", as if he saw a primitive person, suddenly showing off how sharp his stone axe was, and the scene was very funny in his eyes.

In this era, the style and function of mobile phones are very bad, just a few years after the big brother to the small computer, many people on the street still use the "brick machine".

Just this year, Nokia officially launched the first "smartphone" with the Symbian operating system - Nokia 7650.

From today's point of view, the Nokia 7650 is advanced, with a slide design and a 300,000-pixel camera.

It is a radical attempt, no company has linked the camera, operating system and mobile phone before, looking back on the present as a person who has come over, Ye Dongqing can only say that Nokia's development direction is right, and the failure is that the company's decision-makers are not long-term enough, and they are too conceited, which leads to the decline of Nokia in the near future.

Holding this year's Nokia 7650 in his hand, there is a control stick similar to a game console handle under the small screen, which can be used to select the program you want to open, which is a very convenient design, but it makes more mobile phones lose their industrial design aesthetics.

At the same time, Apple, which had not yet set foot in the mobile phone manufacturing industry, had launched an iPod portable memory walkman equipped with touch technology, but the technology was very bad, sales were pitifully low, and huge R&D investment was spent, and in the end it did not even make back the cost.

In the late 90s, Apple shareholders asked him back to take charge of the company, and if it weren't for the fact that Apple's stock had risen by about 70 percent in the past five years, he might have been driven out again.

Except for Ye Dongqing, no one knows what the future of all kinds of electronic products will be.

The concept of "Internet terminals" has only just been proposed, and the Symbian operating system heralds that Nokia is moving in this direction.

The bigwigs in the field of science and technology with a slightly long-term vision think that mobile phones should be able to access the Internet in the future, and it can also be said that small handheld computers have the call function of mobile phones, but they are still confused about how to do it and whether there is a market.

He thinks that Nokia 7650 is not good-looking, and the function is also very bad, but it is not the case in the eyes of ordinary people, the shopping guide saw Ye Dongqing's smile on his lips, thinking that he was satisfied with this mobile phone, and said with a smile: "Recently, every ten mobile phones sold in the world, three and a half of them are 7650, and it is definitely the right choice to choose it, this mobile phone is different from other mobile phones, and it is more advanced."

Little handsome guy, do you plan to buy this directly, or will I recommend other styles for you? To be honest, there will be no better mobile phone than the 7650 in our store, including brands such as Motorola and Siemens. ”

Except for antique machines, it is impossible to buy more advanced mobile phones today, because they have not yet been developed.

There is not much room for choice, Ye Dongqing has not fallen to the point of picking and choosing between two or three hundred dollar products, and said briskly: "Just buy it, I take it with me now, I don't have to wrap it up." ”

"Okay sir, please follow me this way, the speed of the formalities is very fast......"

After paying the money and taking the invoice, the staff helped open a new box, checked it on behalf of him, and felt that the mobile phone was fine, so he handed it over to Ye Dongqing, spending a total of two hundred and forty-nine dollars.

Ate barbecue, bought clothes, plus a new mobile phone, there was nothing interesting to go to, stood on the side of the road and waved a yellow taxi, telling the driver where the address was.

Old Sam's side.

The old man weighed the pros and cons for a long time, but was finally frightened and called according to the number on paper.

He was ready to be extorted a sum of money as hush money to make the IRS abandon his preparations to investigate......
