With the matter of Mr. Bernard Madoff being dug up, Ye Dongqing is indeed in trouble to some extent, and it can be seen from the reactions of other investors that they obviously take this matter very seriously, and even the beautiful financial report that has just been released cannot offset the negative impact caused by being involved in a Ponzi scheme.

Now the media has not reacted, there is only sporadic news on the Internet, if it ferments for another day or two, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people who withdraw their capital, but the group of scattered investors attracted at the beginning are gone, and he just wants to retain large enterprise-level customers.

After hanging up, he asked Mr. McCord, "Where else can we get more money back?"

"More? It should be enough to resist risks, the money originally invested in the crude oil futures market, plus the profits earned later, is enough to more than 4 billion US dollars, and the company itself has a lot of money, the situation will not be bad like that, right?"

"I'm just trying to say how many old Bernard customers will be left with another excuse on the SCE side to fully investigate our company, which will affect the confidence of many investors. What a fuck, in the future, I will develop in the direction of a family office, only have some debt transactions with the bank, and I don't want any other money, so much comfort, no one can affect me. ”

"Leo, isn't our company family-owned, I've been looking at it as your private investment arm, maybe you should make more money and quickly bring down the debt level to a safe level. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. McCord suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "By the way, Microsoft and those joint communication groups have made offers for Skype for $1.85 billion and $1.3 billion respectively, the former wants to acquire all of them and incorporate Skype into their systems, and the latter asks for 80 percent of the shares, Verizon Communications accounts for 30 percent, and the remaining two are equally divided." ”

"Apple's Tim Cook also called me, but he wanted me to keep the company and work with Apple ......"

The profits brought by Skype are enough to make Ye Dongqing satisfied, it is better to return some funds and spend the money on the blade, and the free video call technology is about to come out, and the pure network communication technology is no longer valued by him, adding: "But I still decided to sell it and let Microsoft know that they have a competitor with strong funds, and I hope to raise the price to more than 2.2 billion US dollars."

As for the telecom companies, you can guess with your ass that they won't run this company well, and maybe they will hide the technology, so it is better to just transfer it all. Let people know that I do have the idea of selling it in its entirety, but I'm not in a hurry, and it's possible that they're going to see my troubles and drive the price down, and you tell them it's a dream, and $2.2 billion is the bottom line. ”

"I see what you mean, maybe you can ask the bank, be ready first, and withdraw funds from them at any time if you need them?"

"Yes, Mr. McCord. There is also I think that oil prices may fall in the near future, many large institutions have been secretly reducing their positions, without the continued support of funds, oil prices should fall soon, but for the sake of safety, I hope that this time we can use hedging to reduce risks, our company has been able to withstand the toss, and then make any bad news, my reputation in people's minds will fall to the bottom, transfer two billion US dollars to you, look at it yourself, remember, it tends to fall. ”

Three successes in a row have already made Mr. McCord blindly believe in Ye Dongqing's vision, not to mention that this time he even decided to hedge to offset the risk, just asked: "When will it start?"

Ye Dongqing opened the data terminal of Bloomberg News, and after reading it, he said: "Fifty-two dollars, once it is fifty-two dollars, you will immediately arrange for me to open a position, it is still very popular recently, and it takes a little buffer time to make people accept the change in the direction of the market. ”

Looking at the numbers on the screen, it has been as high as fifty dollars and eighty-six cents a barrel, which means that the reduction has risen by about three dollars after the reduction, and it is inevitable to feel distressed, but no one can accurately grasp every peak and trough.

Mr. McCord nodded and replied, "I'll go and get people to prepare now, how much margin?"

"Bullish 20 percent, short 10 percent, I have a hunch that there should be a lot of people like me who are trying to open short positions. ”

Corresponding to five times the leverage and ten times the leverage, not to mention that Mr. McCord would invest the two billion US dollars, Ye Dongqing felt that it didn't seem good to make money every time, and it was easy to be targeted by people with intentions, so he was ready to give Mr. McCord and the gang of people under him some space to display their talents, even if the loss was not too big.

The phone calls came to Ye Dongqing one after another, and he personally explained to the people, saying that he didn't know the inside story before, but he was willing to take some risks, telling the investors that the principal was still there, and there was no loss.

In order to dispel their concerns, he was even willing to make some of his accounts public, showing them how much cash, Treasury bonds, and stocks that were rising well in the accounts of Freshwater Investment Group.

In the next few hours, almost all of them were busy dealing with this group of people in person, some people made it clear that they wanted to withdraw the funds, Ye Dongqing was not even ready to use the redemption period, and happily let the other party take the money, and more investors heard the fixed interest, and they expressed their desire to continue to wait and see for a while.

The handling was quite proper, and after remembering something, he called Bernard Madoff Sr., told him that he was working on it, asked him to go back to the United States for investigation first, and handed over the ledger.

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

"I heard you're in some trouble?"

Standing on the balcony on the second floor, there is a beautiful garden with lights on, the fountain is spewing water, and the pool glows with pale blue light.

At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Dongqing had already returned to the island by helicopter, Angelina, who was wearing a women's black dress and long legs wrapped in black stockings, was standing next to him at the moment tasting an ancient red wine from 1961.

"Even you know, it seems that the news is really fast, don't worry, the trouble is not on me, I was just affected, I may lose a little money, I can always find a way to make up for it." ”

I don't like red wine very much, Ye Dongqing is holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, he originally planned to continue to deal with the work, but tonight Angelina took the initiative to come to the door......
