Chapter 239: Bezos
So far, the cooperation with Bernard Madoff has gone quite well, even if it is expected that in the next few years, a large amount of money will need to be paid to the old Bernard's company every year, but Ye Dongqing's freshwater investment group has indeed made money with the old man's funds.
Recently, the upward momentum of crude oil futures is very good, major institutions have raised the expected price of crude oil for the next period of time, ranging from $41 to $46, the bears have temporarily avoided the edge, in the process of shorting during this period of time they have suffered heavy losses, the use of hedging financial institutions, is also quietly reducing the proportion of short orders, compared with Ye Dongqing's investment method, the hedge funds have undoubtedly adopted a more prudent way to reduce risks.
Ye Dongqing is more sure of the rise in crude oil prices this time, so his position is also very high, not long after the start of the layout, it has brought him about 800 million US dollars in income, and it is still rising, just like before the lottery is drawn, it is strange that people like him do not get rich, and it is precisely because the money is so easy to make money, so he often has fun by himself, trying to add some fun to his life in the future.
Mark Madoff understood who was the only lifeline for his family, so although his father was treated as a joke by Ye Dongqing, he still did not show any annoyance, but gave enough respect, and after communicating with his father through his mobile phone, he told him that he would take the money from Rolex, and then continue to buy the wealth management products of Tamsui Investment Group.
It's great, isn't it, now Freshwater Investment Group has a lot of high-quality stocks in the eyes of others, and no one doubts that it can't be paid on time after maturity, which leads investors to come to the door themselves, in addition to the old Bernard's funds, maybe before July this year, he will be able to raise the planned $20 billion in funds, which is by no means a small number, and the foreign exchange reserves of most countries are not so much.
The NASDAQ market has been gradually picking up, a number of high-quality companies have re-entered the attention of investors, and other private and institutional investors continue to invest in Internet companies The idea is also stronger, which certainly makes Ye Dongqing face more competition and higher costs in the future, but Ye Dongqing still has an incomparable advantage - he knows what companies have development potential.
The party goes on.
A chef at a famous Japanese restaurant in New York was helping to cut the flesh of the huge bluefin tuna and distribute it to the guests at the scene with wasabi.
Tonight's party is very well planned, because it took a lot of money to implant FB use clips in the movie, which made Ye Dongqing know some Hollywood people, and specially invited a few stars tonight, Leonardo DiCaprio is one of them, recently Ye Dongqing had a whim, hoping to promote his company's series of Internet programs around the world by investing in a movie, such as Apple, such as FB, For example, Youtube and so on, even if they don't make money, as long as they can be promoted, he wants to make people more fully aware of how convenient these programs can make their lives.
What's more, as long as the script is good enough, maybe not only does it not cost money, but it can also make a lot of money in the promotion process, Xiao Lizi is one of Ye Dongqing's candidates for the protagonist, but he hasn't figured out whether to make a spy war movie, a romance movie, or a movie with a bit of science fiction background, at present, it is temporarily inclined to spy war, if it can be made into a series like Mission Impossible, it would be great.
Surrounded by guests all the time, he couldn't get out, so he hadn't been able to meet with those big-name actors, at this moment Mr. Jeff Bezos came to Ye Dongqing's side and asked: "Last time you asked for some information related to Amazon, such as the management mechanism, take the liberty of asking, do you want to go to Huaxia to copy this kind of business? Recently, I happened to hear that a company you invested in Huaxia is preparing to set foot in the online mall, you should know that eBay has formulated an Asian development plan, and my company also has an office in Huaxia, right?"
"You caught it, that's pretty much it, but unlike Amazon, it's just borrowing from our company's development ideas, and it's not breaking any laws. The relationship between Ye Dongqing and the forty-year-old Amazon founder is not bad, and listening to Mr. Bezos's tone at the moment, it doesn't look like he is accusing anything, so the tone of his answer is more like a joke.
"Don't be nervous, I just asked casually, if I can take Amazon to invest, maybe I can provide more experience help, Huaxia is really a fertile ground for the development of online shopping, where the roads are developed, the labor cost is low, The cost of building a logistics warehouse is also low, I know all of this, but eBay has encountered difficulties in its development there, and the United States has made me feel anxious, so I have no plans to open new markets there in the short term, unless you are willing to take me to invest and cooperate with local Internet companies, we can provide financial and technical support.
By the way, when the company's financial situation improves a little, I plan to launch a few satellites, just like Walmart did, to make a more convenient logistics and transportation network, but for now it is better to invest money in logistics and warehousing, we are recruiting software engineers from Silicon Valley, preparing to improve the performance of the website, recently there are more and more customers, which will occasionally cause crashes. ”
Mr. Bezos is obviously showing off, because Amazon's turnover is growing wildly, and this good news is also directly fed back to the stock market, which has been green for nine consecutive months, and the situation is very good, every time the good news is announced, it rises slightly, and it is far from the number that Ye Dongqing expected.
"I also think it's better to spend the money where it matters most, if you want to raise funds and issue new shares, remember to tell me in advance, in fact, I can eat all the shares alone, after all, our partnership is not bad, and I am still very optimistic about Amazon's potential." ”
As soon as Ye Dongqing finished speaking, Bezos said with a smile: "Now is just the beginning, I expect the turnover to double every year in the next five years, and expand the market in Europe, you want to eat it all, you have to ask him if the shareholders agree, now Amazon is a hot stock, I think you have felt it when you increased your holdings, the premium is forty percent, you are really confident in our company." ”
"No way, who made you look so capable, if you want to cash out, I can eat all your shares according to this number. ”
"Thanks, but I'm not short of money for the time being, and I don't want to cash out. ”
Ye Dongqing shrugged indifferently and said: "It's always right to try, if you change your mind, feel free to contact me"
