Chapter 319: Divide the Cake

Mark Madoff is right that in the capital market, eating alone is a big sin.

The gang found that the company in Ye Dongqing's hands was getting better and better, but they didn't have the intention of introducing external funds and taking others to share the benefits, so they decisively beat and forced him, and so far it has been a bloodless trick, if there is a next step and no part of the cake is divided, it is difficult to say what the result will be.

It is often said that the class has been solidified, and the same is true in the field of business, and the forces that developed earlier have strong capital and connections, and it is not a big deal to bully new people at every turn, whether it is to use money or make tricks, they will always find ways to make things go in the direction they want, and be proud of it, as long as they make money, regardless of their reputation.

To put it mildly, when did Wall Street have a good reputation? A group of jackals who believe in the supremacy of profit are trying to encircle and carve up the Ye Holly industry.

Of course, it's just a part of it, the means can be rubbed, but not out of bounds, the situation is a bit tricky, yes, but it's not the worst, otherwise Ye Dongqing wouldn't have the leisure to play golf here.

Compared with the emerging Internet industry, it is even more unlikely that there will be large-scale sole proprietorships in traditional industries, and it is more difficult to do business in those fields, because others can do it, and they may do it better, and the profits are visible, and the competition is relatively large.

The Internet market is different, Facebook has only developed for a year and a half, and its current valuation has exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

It can be regarded as a mercy on the part of his subordinates, at least from the point of view of performance, it is true, but this is also related to Ye Dongqing's own caution, the company has developed to the present, except for being forced to play a little trick at the beginning, and then followed the rules and laws, leaving no handle.

"I can predict that the next step should be to break the contract and withdraw the investment, and they used the SEC investigation to tarnish my company's reputation, in order to make my investors suspicious, maybe some of those investors were instigated by them and wanted to join forces against me. ”

Sitting on the golf cart, Ye Dongqing wiped the club he was going to use next with a cloth, turned his head to stare at Mark Madoff and asked, "Could it be that they chose your father and gave him an offer that was difficult to refuse?"

It's a temptation.

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the Ponzi scheme played by Bernard Madoff Sr. is hard to guarantee that it has not been noticed by other well-intentioned people, in addition to the funds raised by the Madoff family, the largest investment is only 1.8 billion US dollars, and if it withdraws 3 or 4 billion US dollars, it will definitely not make Tamsui Investment Group break its muscles and bones.

And if Bernard Madoff Sr. also followed up and siphoned off the funds for the benefit that others promised him, more than $8 billion in funds! Ye Dongqing would not collapse, but he would fall into a state of scorching distress, and he would inevitably be robbed by others at that time.

If Mark Madoff hadn't taken the initiative to come to the door today, Ye Dongqing would have contacted his father, as long as such a large sum of money was not moved, it would not have caused a chain of divestments, and people's hearts could not withstand the temptation the most, and the shopping mall was like a battlefield.

Mark's eyes met Ye Dongqing's, did not show any strange emotions, and said with a smile: "How is this possible, the contract signed at that time had a financing period, and the liquidated damages for less than two years were as high as 15% of the total, no one would come up with such a large sum of money to tempt us, my father is a smart man, he and I both know that only by cooperating with you can we regain the glory of the family." ”

As if he was allegiance, the so-called 15% liquidated damages, Ye Dongqing didn't know at all, the company is so big, there are many things every day, how can he know everything, Mr. McCord is personally responsible for this matter, and the team of the law firm has also reviewed it, and he didn't pay attention to the breach of contract clause at all.

With more than two billion dollars in liquidated damages, plus the loss of interest, I felt that it was impossible to invest so much money to lure the old Bernard before making money, and let go of the snack a little.

But what Bernard Madoff Sr. did, the Ponzi scheme, was also a threat to him, and it was useless to tell Mark at this time, and he hid that little uneasiness alone......

Man dies for money, and birds die for food.

There is also competition within large companies, such as Citibank, where different executives are responsible for different things, and when executives do a good job, they can get a commission from the board of directors, while competitors do a good job, and the commission does not fall to an unrelated department.

Joseph Hale, the head of Citibank's investment banking division, got out of his car and entered a villa, keeping his head down and cautious the whole time.

There is a sum of money in the Freshwater Investment Group from Citibank, but it is invested by the margin financing department, and it has little to do with Joseph Hale, and someone recently approached him, saying that there is a big business to discuss, and after probably figuring out what needs to be done, he personally rushed over, and he is not at ease with other people, and the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better.

In the global financial market, there are countless unspoken rules, there are countless secret transactions, now there is no fool suddenly into a certain stock, a short period of money will be quickly withdrawn, although the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission is weak, but not vegetarian, no one wants their name to appear in the hands of prosecutors, they will stretch the timeline, wait for more than half a year, a year or two, and create their own "insider", through short or long to make a profit, it is difficult to be found, so that traders and financial bosses are more patient.

The inside story has always been there, but unlike some emerging markets that often make jokes, to the point of being unscrupulous and treating everyone else for fools, many people are willing to take risks for money.

In the past, it was already very, very good to make tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, if it weren't for the fact that there was an opportunity worth tens of billions of dollars, how could a person of Joseph Hale's status show up in person, to some extent, he even entered the core of the flower bank, but he was still a high-level wage earner.

Compared with these gold collars who are mixed in the financial market, Ye Dongqing is so clean that he doesn't speak, if it weren't for the little secret in his mind, he would have been played to death by this gang of people, look at the two founders of Google, it is right to have the right to speak, and most of the shares will be taken away by others after the listing, and he himself solved the problem of capital through financing first, without being controlled by others.

After entering the house and seeing several acquaintances, Joseph Hale had a meaningful smile on his face, and said in his mouth: "There must be no one else, I want to know what kind of business can make you so united......"
