Chapter 315: Hidden Arrows Are Hard to Defend Against (1/4 Ask for Subscription)
This trip to London was a good time to spend money.
Ye Dongqing has never been so wealthy, nor has he been so famous, he doesn't know what trouble this wanton behavior will bring to him in the next few days, so he happily accompanied Laura and Zhao Liuli to eat and drink in London, and also took the time to go to Laura's school.
After settling the final payment and paying more than 9 million pounds of stamp duty and other property taxes, the house located on Garden Street in Kensington Palace has been transferred to Ye Dongqing, Mr. Gottsman didn't even let out a fart when he received the money, and it was clear that he was not interested in Ye Dongqing's previous advice, he was more willing to believe in his own vision than to believe in a little guy with little experience, and after handling all the formalities, he did not contact again.
It doesn't matter, if Ye Dongqing really wants to, after the news is released, investors will immediately come to the door and rush to ask him to help manage his finances, his reputation has already been out, but he spent so much money to buy a house, and he casually mentioned it when he was distressed, and wanted to make up for some expenses, it didn't matter if the Jewish businessman agreed or not, and he quickly forgot about it.
I have tried to avoid trouble, but trouble sometimes comes by itself, especially when pushed by some well-intentioned people.
The news that he had spent a lot of money and bought a mansion worth more than 80 million pounds after coming to England quickly spread to the United States, with both positive and negative reports, mainly inclined to be negative.
Isn't it normal, people often want to have what they dream of, fantasize about becoming rich themselves, but hope that the rich can divide their property and give it back to society, or more accurately, to them.
There is no problem with antiques, the contradictions are mainly concentrated in the mansion, and even a program owned by CBS TV, the talk show host said: "It's very surprising, some time ago we just marveled at how luxurious Leo Yeh's private island on Long Island is, and a few days ago he bought an even more expensive house in London, located next to Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived before her death, and it was so luxurious that I was dumbfounded."
I admit that Leo Ye has an enviable mind when it comes to doing business, he is only 20 years old this year, he already has a fortune of more than 10 billion dollars, and he has a large stake in Facebook, Skype, Apple computers, etc., which people commonly use, but I think people should think about the same as me, he should focus on the poor people who cry for life, instead of blindly pursuing material comforts......"
Not only this show, but also many newspapers and radio stations also expounded similar views, which quickly pushed Ye Dongqing to the forefront.
Just over a year ago, in 2002, Ye Dongqing was also a proper poor man, and after the money was stolen, he only had more than 100 US dollars left on him, living in a dilapidated small hotel with a bad environment.
The most luxurious Boeing 747, the small island on Long Island, more than 200 million US dollars in antiques, more than 100 million US dollars in luxury houses, etc., all of which were picked up by reporters, and even planned to spend two or three billion US dollars to build high-rise buildings in New York, all of which were used, saying that Tamsui Investment Group still owed investors a lot of money, but Ye Dongqing spent money wantonly, without the slightest pressure, and led ordinary people who didn't care about these to the camp hostile to him.
The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider and wider, and a few people control the vast majority of the world's resources, Laura was very angry when she learned the news, she didn't rob or steal, she didn't understand how spending her own money was a bad thing.
Ye Dongqing saw it more thoroughly, the mansion of Mr. Larry Ellison, the founder of Oracle, was more expensive than the one he had just bought, but it didn't attract attention, and he was full of firepower on himself, which made him vaguely guess that someone wanted to him.
Before because he often attended parties, he didn't leave much of a good reputation, if he was splashed like this without squeaking, his reputation would only be worse in the future, and when he talked to Mr. McCord on the phone, he had learned that many ordinary customers of Freshwater Investment Group chose to withdraw their funds, and the total amount added up to about 10 million US dollars, which is not a big deal.
However, if it arouses the disgust of investment institutions, then the problem will be more serious, if hundreds of millions or billions of dollars are withdrawn, he is worried that the news will cause a chain reaction after it spreads, and in the end, he will not be able to use the shares of Amazon, Apple and other companies to pay off debts.
It was necessary to go back to the United States to understand the situation in person, in fact, he really did so, and immediately arranged a private business jet and flew back to New York with Zhao Liuli, who was still going to school......
***************
"So what's going on, you say you know who's messing with me?"
Sitting around the corner of a cigar salon on the Upper East Side, Ye asked Edward Johnson Jr. what he said.
The fat man took the initiative to call before, asked about the recent troubles, and said that he might be able to help, the reason why he was so enthusiastic was mainly because he made a fortune in the New York Commodity Exchange, the specific amount is not clear, most of the nine-digit figures are there, don't take the money properly, such a large profit in exchange for paper money, enough to crush someone to death.
"You should ask who, not who, the situation is already clear, you won't fail to see it, think about what your company has been doing recently, and then think about whose cheese has moved, they must be desperate with you, and you are unlucky." ”
Smoking the cigar that Ye Dongqing paid for, and drinking the fifty-year-old Macallan whisky that Ye Dongqing paid for, little Edward was deeply immersed in the sofa, and even the sofa was pressed by him to creak.
When it comes to making money, his vision is definitely not as good as Ye Dongqing, but when it comes to playing tricks, Little Edward is much stronger than Ye Dongqing, he has been influenced (polluted) by the family atmosphere since he was a child, and with the terrifying news network of the level of Fidelity Investment Group, he can be exposed to more news.
After a little thought, he rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "That online news project of mine them off, right?"
"Almost, otherwise why would they mess with you, this is a warning to you, Facebook has so many users right now, and these companies are worried that you will bring resources into the online news section that has not yet started.
In addition, you make money yourself, but you don't bring others to make money, some people are provoked, just look up and you can find out how many Wall Street chaebols stand behind these media organizations, they can unite at any time for money, it's not okay to throw out a Skype, they value Facebook. In addition, some people also want to buy shares of Amazon and Apple from your hands, and there are many investment institutions staring at these two companies recently, and the reason why the stock price has risen all the way is because there are more institutions that want to invest in them, and there are too few outstanding shares and shareholders who are willing to change hands, such as those below my family, in order to buy some Apple shares, the cost is not small. ”
Little Edward's words can't be fully believed, Ye Dongqing has always remembered the strength of Fidelity Investment Group, and vaguely feels that the reason why this fat man told himself so kindly is that he wants to agree to the introduction of external funds, and take advantage of the previous relationship to get close to the water, from another point of view, Fidelity Investment Group also has shares in Viacom Group, and CBS has merged with the media giant Viacom Group......
