Chapter 417: Maybe I Can Help You
Entrance to the NASDAQ stock exchange.
Ye Dongqing stood there, surrounded by reporters, security guards, investors, company employees, etc., and it was almost over.
Blocked by bodyguards and security guards, the homeless man said these words to Ye Dongqing from afar, with a cigarette in his mouth, although his clothes were old, they were still clean, and his messy hair was enough to indicate his identity.
There are also unkempt homeless people, but as long as there is no mental problem, the homeless people here in New York can make do with their lives, occasionally taking some time to spend on dressing, and occasionally finding a lot of good things from old clothes boxes.
If it was usual, Ye Dongqing might not answer the other party, at most he would give a smile and pass, but he has been in a bad mood recently.
Rich like this, the relationship is also good, the daughter is growing up healthy and healthy, I called my father for the first time last month, and at the age of more than a year, the mixed-race appearance is very cute.
Logically speaking, he should have been very, very content, but he felt more and more that he was missing something in his life, or rather a goal that he felt was worth spending time on.
After running a successful business, this sense of accomplishment has become indifferent, and money has completely become a string of numbers on the rich list, and he feels that he should be able to live a little more fulfilling.
It takes time to accept this change in mindset, and the first thing to do is not to rush.
After hearing the homeless man's words, Ye Dongqing replied with a smile: "If you think that the tent is not practical, then sell it to people in need, I didn't think about it, maybe money is more useful to you, but you should also know that if you give money, someone will use it to buy contraband, and use it to buy something that is not helpful to their lives." ”
The other party thought for a while, nodded and affirmed: "You are right, you must not give money directly, and it may be snatched away by others, no matter what, I still have to say thank you to you, I saw in the newspaper that you donated a lot of things to us homeless homeless." ”
The old man's conversation and etiquette surprised Ye Dongqing.
Rich or not, they are still human beings in essence, and they do not think that they are inferior because of their achievements, so they walked down the stairs and asked: "Sir, what kind of occupation did you do before, don't you have no children?" It is not a long-term solution like this, you should find a serious job to make your life better. ”
The old man shrugged his shoulders and said: "I want to too, but since I was over fifty years old, almost no store is willing to take me in to work there, and I can't even apply for a job of dumping community garbage, since my house was taken away by the bank, I have been wandering on the street for more than three years, and once I entered the exchange like you to speculate in stocks, but it was only more than 20,000 US dollars, and then I lost it all because of the damn SUN company."
Nobody cares about me, and my wife went to heaven before me, so be it, I don't have a few years to live anyway. I used to be a worker in a wire factory, you know? It's the wires that are buried in the ground, maybe there are wires that I made back then, and the quality is very reliable, but then because the factory was moved to Asia, I couldn't stay. ”
The tone is very flat, as if he is telling someone else's business.
The reasons for being a homeless person in the United States are nothing more than a few, one is lazy, the second is mental problems, the third is that they are desperate for life, or they are physically disabled, suffering from diseases, etc., even if normal people are poor, under this welfare system for idlers, they can at least eat with their mouths, and have a small old house to live in, Manhattan housing prices are high, but not all cities are Manhattan, and the rent in some places is pitifully low, such as some small towns in New Jersey, which is adjacent to New York State.
Ye Dongqing felt that this old man might be the third type, desperate for life.
He was now well aware that his recent innocent moaning was simply hypocritical, how many people in the world didn't want to have what he had now?
Young, healthy body, amazing wealth, etc., with comparison, I found that I am currently very good, and I am not really waiting for death, I still have the opportunity and strength to do something for more people.
With a twitch of his head, he said, "Maybe I can help you." ”
After a while, Ye Dongqing's tone was affirmative, and he added: "Yes, I am willing to help you, help you rent a small house, and give you another sum of money to live a normal life again, I usually don't do this, but I have a good impression of you, that's why I help you." ”
"And what do you need me to give?"
Not believing that pies would really fall from the sky, the old man replied very sensibly.
"You don't need anything, as long as you have a good life, if possible, in the future, you can help others like me through your own efforts, and that's what I want you to do. ”
When Ye Dongqing spoke, the bodyguards around him looked at him with strange expressions, in their opinion, this was simply a pain from eating eggs and having nothing to do, but who made him his boss, just be happy, anyway, there is not much money.
To be honest, working for Ye Dongqing can make these bodyguards feel good, after all, the only flaw is just the heart, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, it is actually not a big deal, empathy, if they are Ye Dongqing, they are likely to do more excessively, and it is possible to be a groom every night.
The old man didn't hesitate this time, the fool hesitated, he nodded decisively, and replied with a smile: "Okay, anyway, I don't have anything to lose, what should I do?"
Writing a check for 50,000 US dollars, Ye Dongqing handed it to a bodyguard and said: "Take him to buy a few clothes first, then take a bath, cut his hair, shave, and then rent a house in Xiacheng District, as for what you want to do with this money next, that's your own business, but I will only give it once." ”
was named by the boss, and the white bodyguard reluctantly accepted the check, in his opinion, this kind of good thing is not necessary to do at all, and the money given to the homeless man will only be spent quickly, and then he will live the current wandering life.
After agreeing to come down, take the old man to leave first to buy clothes, no matter what you think in your heart, just do what the boss tells you to do.
Helping others, Ye Dongqing can also get some happiness from it, not trying to be famous, it is simply possible to save someone's life, the price is only one and a half royal million-dollar cigars, or a glass of nineteenth-century treasured old wine, and his mood suddenly becomes much better.
Stretching back, I looked at the numbers on the big screen again.
Company P went public in this way, and its market value is currently stuck at more than $10.61 billion, he doesn't know if it's enough, but it should have surpassed Gates to become the richest person in the world in March 2006......
