Chapter 95: The Fallen Lower City

In the matter of Tencent's financing, Ye Dongqing always felt that he was treated as a wronged leader, and he didn't know if it was Boni's idea or the idea of the real major shareholder MIH Group, which made him very uncomfortable anyway.

There is no right to vote, and the price is higher than expected, the strangest thing is that he is only willing to accept 50 million US dollars of financing from himself, and he does not need it, which is the most difficult place for Ye Dongqing, because although he can get 50 million US dollars in a short time, but in this way, his company will be forced very tightly, resulting in the capital flow of other places facing difficulties in a short period of time.

After all, it is not his own money, and after going to the Securities and Exchange Commission to be questioned, he can no longer take risks to exploit loopholes as before, ignore the rules and invest according to his own ideas, and forget about the system, rules and regulations.

Think of a way to invest, the most critical question in front of Ye Dongqing is whether it is worth investing, and if it is really invested, will it have an impact on the development of Facebook.

No one can help him think about these problems, rather than believe in other people's advice, he wants to make his own ideas, not because he is born with this kind of arbitrary character, but compared with others, he has seen more scenery from the top of the mountain, and from the perspective of those who have come before, he can see more comprehensively.

Lying on the comfortable chair, resting my feet on the table, I wanted to order a cigar and think about it carefully, but my hand just stretched out and retracted again, smoking a cigar is also addictive, I have not been addicted to smoking in my life, it is not good for health, and there are not too many troubles, there is no need to joke about my young body.

Thinking about the portal called "Sohu" in his mind, Ye Dongqing feels that the combination of Tencent and it is like adding a Yahoo to the ICQ instant chat program, it can't be said that there is absolutely no market, judging from the current situation, the market is still quite good, and the scale of the Internet industry on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is not as large and sound as the United States, which means that there are many opportunities.

Because the acquisition is Sohu, Ye Dongqing will be so entangled, if it is the acquisition of Baidu, Alibaba and other companies he has heard of, there is no need to worry too much about affecting the development of Tencent, in general, with such a huge user scale of Tencent, and a portal website to cooperate with each other, maybe it can also play a good role in promoting each other.

I can't help but start to invest, I am about to face the long Christmas holiday, and I still have time to slowly think about what to do, take my mind back, stare intently at the summary report, and then close the folder, put it in my drawer and lock it.

As soon as Tamsui Fund Company had some money, he began to think about changing office space.

As the number of employees in the company gradually increased, not to mention Leo-Y, which is similar to a shell company, several directors of Golden Island Wealth Management also placed a few desks in this small office, and there were several new departments in the back, such as the legal counsel of the resident company, the kind that helps review various contracts, and the larger financial department, which also needs special personnel to help maintain as the website goes online.

It won't be delayed until too late, it's what will happen next year, just do it when you think about it, Ye Dongqing made a call to the real estate agent he met last time, and asked him if he had a larger office building for rent, the kind that can be rented for a long time, with an area of at least 1,000 square meters, and the environment is the focus of his attention.

There are so many office buildings in Manhattan, there are not many companies enough to fill them all, and it is easy to rent office buildings, and some of the famous Wall Street high-rises have even been converted into apartments for rent and sale, mainly because there are not many tenants who are willing to pay for them, and they would rather move the company to other places in the surrounding area to reduce unnecessary costs.

The other party immediately recommended several buildings on Wall Street to him according to the requirements, such as Building 23 where the original **** was located, Puchuan Building, etc., Ye Dongqing hoped that the other party would take him to the site to see, and the two sides made an appointment.

After going out to talk to Kanek about it, Kanek, who is about to have his own office, of course will not refuse this kind of good thing, and he is still crowded in an open space with a group of employees, which seems very unstylish.

As a "veteran employee" of the new freshwater fund company, Kanek was very glad that he did not hand over the resignation letter to Ye Dongqing with his friends at that time, and it turned out that in the gamble on crude oil futures, the guys who left became stupid hats, they had hoped to get a high bonus, but chose to flee the battlefield when the opportunity came.

Ms. Vigo had a big black cauldron on her back, and she had to rest for a long time before she could return to the company again, and now Kanek has become the second-in-command in addition to Ye Dongqing's boss, and he wants a comfortable and high-end office.

At this moment, he said tentatively: "Why would you want to dwell on Wall Street instead of choosing to move your headquarters to Midtown like other companies?"

Wall Street has slowly declined, it is no longer the financial center of Manhattan, the real financial center has moved to the Midtown side, the transportation is more convenient, the environment is better, many companies have gone there, I think you should choose to rent a floor in the Midtown side. ”

As he said, after entering the 21st century, Wall Street is constantly declining, or the entire Lower Manhattan is in decline, and the rich no longer like to consider buying houses in the lower city.

Bear Stearns, which is not yet bankrupt, as well as ****, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, have begun or plan to move their headquarters further north to Midtown, away from the narrow neighborhood of Wall Street in the lower city.

The growth of electronic trading and over-the-counter trading has made "centralization" less important, and these giants do not need Wall Street's name to put a gold on themselves, and want to pursue a more comfortable office environment.

The reason why Ye Dongqing wants to rent on Wall Street is mainly because the house he rented is here, and Facebook is not far from Wall Street, so there is no other reason for this.

In the long run, the size of the Tamsui Fund is still small, and waiting for more employees to move to a better place means that employees have to rent elsewhere, so you have to make a decision now, otherwise it will be very troublesome later.

Midtown is undoubtedly much more prosperous than Downtown, as can be seen from the housing prices, there is no movement on the Downtown, but new skyscrapers are being built in Midtown, and from the perspective of time, the U.S. real estate industry is about to enter the next short boom period.

It is okay to move or not, considering that he will go to college next, Midtown or Uptown is undoubtedly closer to Columbia University, Ye Dongqing has already made a decision, after going to Boston once, he feels that he will not like to toss back and forth, and it is good to study in New York.

There are advantages on both sides, the lower city side is a little broken, Wall Street is not very comfortable to live in, it is not convenient to catch a plane or go shopping, and the name Wall Street is slightly useful.

After struggling for a moment, he told Kanek: "I'll take a look first, I'll look at Wall Street and Midtown, and then make a decision......
