Chapter 203: Club
I was going to Hawaii on Christmas Day, but I suddenly received a call from Bernard Madoff personally, saying that we could meet and talk about it on this day, and ask Ye Dongqing to go to play golf together, but it was delayed if there was something temporary.
Laura has a mother alive, but almost like an orphan, and after Ye Dongqing's temporary change of fortune, she first took Zhao Liuli to Honolulu Island, the capital of the Hawaiian Islands.
Laura takes care of the girl, Ye Dongqing is very relieved, and has specifically threatened Zhao Liuli, asking her not to talk nonsense in front of Laura, mainly about Miss Mahi, in this regard, he is still a little weak-minded, specifically simulating possible problems, and letting Zhao Liuli answer according to the standard that is most beneficial to him.
Give her food, drink, and live for her, and even the tuition fees are paid by Ye Dongqing, the top private school in New York, Zhao Liuli's desire to survive is relatively strong, so Ye Dongqing is more relieved, and personally called the rental company to arrange a helicopter to take the two of them to the airport.
It is more convenient to go to Hawaii from West Coast cities, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, while from New York, not only to cross the North American continent, but also to fly half of the Pacific Ocean, the flight time is about eleven hours, the first class cabin will be more comfortable, and it will be almost the same as waking up, so the two of them have stayed up all night.
Ye Dongqing's Airbus A380 has not yet begun to build, it is estimated that it will not be able to get it until 2006, the reason why this aircraft was chosen, mainly for safety reasons, the impression of this aircraft has never crashed, the same level of Boeing 747 series orders are more, it takes longer to order 747 from Boeing, unless you are willing to add money to buy from other companies.
It's better to keep the money for the time being, so it doesn't matter if you are patient and waiting, if you negotiate with Mr. Bernard Madoff, maybe you can reward yourself with an ultra-luxury yacht to hold a party to receive guests, which is simply suitable, and Americans also have a strong comparison mentality, they are big toys belonging to the super-rich......
Little Edward has a villa by the sea on Honolulu Island, and this Christmas he went to the Maldives for a vacation and took the initiative to lend that house to Ye Dongqing.
After calling and asking, after making sure that there was no problem, Ye Dongqing asked the secretary to help arrange the pick-up, and sent the two of them directly to Little Edward's house.
Christmas without snow is not perfect, today the sun is shining, but the body can hardly feel the heat, the number of pedestrians on the street is suddenly much less, some people get the year-end bonus and take advantage of the holiday to travel, and some people leave New York, each returning to their hometown to spend Christmas with their parents.
Many shops are not open, and tourists from all over the world come at the worst time of the day, and it is cold and not lively, so they can only walk around and have to accept the cold wind.
Again, today is not a good day to play golf, but Mr. Bernard Madoff is the host, Ye Dongqing did not let him change the meeting place, and is on his way to Fishers Island Club, which is one of the more famous golf clubs in the New York area.
In fact, he doesn't like sports very much, and he doesn't think that talking about business on the golf course is better than talking about business in a café, as long as both parties can make money, even in the toilet, they can negotiate business, they don't bring any equipment, and they are ready to leave after the negotiation and take a plane to Hawaii for a vacation.
Ye Dongqing has been eyeing Bernard Madoff for more than a day or two, since he just had an accident and returned to this era, the old man's name has often appeared in his mind.
The reason why he didn't do it was because he didn't have enough strength at that time, and on the other hand, because Bernard Madoff didn't have much money in his hands at that time, and he didn't have any handle that Ye Dongqing could handle, if he wanted to blackmail the other party, he had to at least grasp a reliable handle first, otherwise how could he obediently give in and send the money to him?
Now it's different, the old man just recently gave investors a dividend, the total amount of about 900 million US dollars, because it belongs to private equity funds, the specific accounts do not need to be disclosed, Ye Dongqing does not know the specific number, but he did start to falsely report the amount of profit recently, claiming that the annual increase is as high as 16%.
......
Bernard Madoff stepped down from his position as chairman of the Nasdaq, saying that he wanted to concentrate on his investment company.
This time he guessed wrong, thinking that Ye Dongqing wanted to put the money here and make the difference from it, so he told his son very proudly at the moment: " Later, don't interject, just be responsible for adjusting the atmosphere, I'll talk to him, that Chinese kid named Leo has a lot of money in his hands, and if you want the game to continue, you must have a steady stream of money flowing in, and recently I helped you and your brother open two accounts in Switzerland, and will deposit 150 million dollars in each of them, don't use them until the last resort, just pretend that you have never had this account.
The stupid old man at Fairfield-Greenich invested a billion dollars in me last year, and I'm going to invest more, and when you meet his son in two days, make sure you take care of them, whatever you want to do, you know?"
Mark Madoff nodded to show that he understood, he held an assistant position next to his father, don't look at Bernard often bragging about how much money he makes, in fact, his company has been seriously losing money since the first year, and he invested in AOL, which is so bad that Bernard doubts his life and is forced to embark on the road of being a liar, otherwise the customers will withdraw all the money, and he will go bankrupt.
After a period of time, he found that no one noticed the trick he was playing, and he also begged to put the money in his own place to help invest, so his ambition became bigger and bigger, and he demanded a higher level of investors, as long as he came with a large amount of money, almost no one refused.
The problem that needs to be considered in daily life is not how to make money, but how to use the Ponzi scheme to continue to play this game, Ye Dongqing seems to be a big wronged person in his eyes.
Ye Dongqing, who also regarded Bernard Madoff as a boiled duck, shook hands and introduced himself warmly after meeting on the club's court.
The caddie helped prepare a set of top-of-the-line clubs, and as he rode through the flat green grass in the cart, Bernard Sr. smiled and asked, "I heard my son say that you want to talk to me about business?" By the way, your freshwater investment group is relatively good, but it is still too secure in terms of investment, and you need to find some experienced people to help, especially someone like me who has been on Wall Street for decades to help......"
