Chapter 349: Arrested
Don't care what outsiders and financial magazines say, other people don't know Mr. McCord's ability, how can Ye Dongqing not know.
There is self-motivation, but he lacks a sense of smell for business opportunities, and he is only suitable for keeping it, not suitable for him to open up the market, and he is not bold enough.
Fortunately, Ye Dongqing lacked such a big housekeeper, and he had deliberately trained him in the aspect of guarding before, helping to manage such a large company well, and coordinating the problems between various departments, which was already very good.
However, if you can do it well now, you may not be able to do it in the future, after all, Ye Dongqing knows the growth potential of his own companies, and he is destined to face a lot of competition in the future.
It hurt me, but I knew it was true.
For you, the so-called financial experts, the so-called analysts, and so on are all decorations, and you should fire them all. These guys are idle and have nothing to do, and they often come to harass me with analysis reports, accusing certain companies of poor development prospects, such as Green Mountain Coffee, which you invested in. ”
McCord's tone was a little distressed, the boss is often not in the company, and those elites who engage in theory feel that their talent is empty but wasted, so they like to find him here, in fact, now I very much hope that Ye Dongqing can nod and agree and kick those guys out of the company.
In other financial companies, professional data analysts can find problems from the clues and then report to the boss to weigh the pros and cons, but in Tamsui Investment Group, Ye Dongqing said that he will invest in whichever he invests, and it is right to make a list and invest according to it, and rarely use these people.
Green Mountain Coffee, after hearing this name, Ye Dongqing suddenly laughed, and said: "This reminds me, let the current executive of Green Mountain Coffee have time to come to me, I have some ideas I hope they will try, maybe the kind that can increase the company's performance."
Analysts and think tanks give advice, you just listen, when the hedge fund company starts to operate, I can use their place, I don't think I have much energy to invest in the company wholeheartedly, these people can help me compile the data, and make a preliminary analysis. In addition, in my name, I will contact potential investors who have money in my hand, and say that I am going to hold a private equity meeting, and send the invitation letter to them first, whether you can come or not, and the time has come to test your connections and influence. ”
"Me, they're not going to give me face, it's pretty much the same in your name. If it is Freshwater Investment Group to raise funds, I am confident that I will get another 10 billion US dollars, but you have no reputation in the hedge fund field at all, and it is difficult to say whether you can get 500 million US dollars. ”
"Yes, why don't you make a bet?" Ye Dongqing took out his mobile phone and shook it, indicating that he could raise this amount of funds through the phone.
Mr. McCord didn't answer, rolled his eyes and left his business, so he went out of his office first......
Taking the time to take a look outside, and finding that the BBC people were still interviewing their employees, Ye Dongqing returned to the desk and sat down, entered the password and clicked on the Facebook program.
Recently, under the influence of some media, there has been some negative news on Facebook.
It's not a big problem, mainly because some people feel that the personal information they post is easy to leak, and not everyone can remember to click "Show only to friends", and occasionally they will accidentally send it publicly by default, which means that people who don't follow each other can also see it.
It's a minor drawback, there are too many complaints, and the engineers on Facebook's side are working on it.
From the beginning of the creation of this company, Ye Dongqing thought of a combination of Facebook and Twitter, the total number of fans more than 100,000 can be certified as a VIP account, and can enjoy the profit sharing brought by advertising in the future, from the end of 2002 to the present, there have been more than 2,000 accounts to meet the requirements, with the privilege of the account name that can be customized color, and get the privilege of new user promotion.
Many accounts with a large number of fans even began to receive advertisements privately, showing them to fans in the form of text and pictures, and Ye Dongqing also saw some at the moment, which made him feel that it was necessary to speed up the improvement of the company's advertising business, and add new revenue models such as third-party sharing of games, user drainage sharing, etc.
For users who prefer privacy, he has even recently considered modifying the positioning of Whatsapp, adding text and image sharing functions, which can be set to only be seen by friends, and reducing the amount of ads so that users can choose the program that is more suitable for them.
One is more open, the other is more private, so that the Facebook platform, which was originally used to share messages between friends, loses its original meaning of existence, they can use Facebook to follow many strangers and celebrities, and the WhatsApp program is used for communication and sharing between intimate friends.
Thinking that the idea was very good, Ye Dongqing called the CEO of Whatsapp, described the general idea to the other party, and after confirming that the other party understood, he asked him to make a plan and send it to his mailbox after communicating with the product development department.
Nowadays, more and more Silicon Valley companies are focusing on online social platforms, and if they want to stay ahead of the curve, they must continue to introduce more useful products for their customers, make up for the shortcomings of Facebook, and make the Whatsapp chat program more useful, killing two birds with one stone.
Mr. McCord went back and forth, saying that someone from Mexico had called and said that he had caught the guy who had absconded with the money, but the necklace was missing, and asked when the $5 million bounty would be in his hands.
Ye Dongqing was stunned after hearing this, and was thinking about why the necklace was not there, and subconsciously thought that someone had taken it away first, and then asked for money from himself, so angry that he took a deep breath to calm down, "It's really special...... Shameless, what do I want people to do, I want a necklace! It's money!"
"No way, the news we heard from the police is this, it has been handed over to the FBI, and it was told to the reporter that you will keep your promises, I think we have met smart people, and this is forcing you to fulfill the agreement. ”
"But I'm talking about sending the necklace with someone, and the news has been reported?" Ye Dongqing continued to ask.
Mr. McCord shook his head and said, "I haven't been on TV or in the newspapers, but there has been news on the Internet, you don't have to show up about this, I will let the people in the public relations department explain."
Leo, I don't think it's okay to give five million dollars, but we can't give nothing, it will make people think that we have no credit, or let people hype it up for a few days, and then we will give a symbolic $200,000 or $500,000, which will make people see that our company is determined to fight corruption, even if it is useless to flee to Mexico. ”
"Hmm...... Just do what you say. ”
Ye Dongqing said that he was searching for relevant information, and sure enough, he saw the picture of the police completing the handover of personnel at the border line, and was thrown directly from the car to the territory belonging to the United States, with a sign hanging in front of him, a few lines written and a string of bank accounts......
