Chapter 121: Invitation
Laura eats pizza topped with cheese and sausage, which just looks delicious.
The voice muttered: "Okay, I have time to bring her to me, I have learned all the knowledge she has learned, and I have more time recently, so I can take the time to teach her some of the secrets I summed up when I was in school, such as don't pay attention to those little boys who only have SE in their heads, and don't provoke self-righteous girls, otherwise they will be bullied, etc."
I haven't been to a private elementary school, but I think there should be similar sluts everywhere in the world, and transfer students are the most likely to be bullied, so you have to give her a mobile phone so that she can know the situation at any time. And the teachers, you can ask those two tutors to help out for 90 dollars an hour, and if their heads are okay, they definitely won't want to miss out on the opportunity to make money from you. ”
"It seems that you have been bullied by someone before, right, you are so experienced. I know what kind of girls you're describing, and I actually hate them, they may not be pretty, but my self-confidence is very strong, and I will definitely be ready to store our phone numbers in them, so that I don't have to contact you or me for a while. ”
The school bullying incidents that people pay attention to tend to focus on male students who like to bully and cause trouble, in fact, the girls' methods are no worse than those of boys, Laura has only left school for a long time, and Ye Dongqing has also witnessed those bad things, so he is naturally worried that Zhao Liuli will be bullied when the time comes.
Judging from Zhao Liuli's quiet personality, it shouldn't be a big problem to go to school to study, but if it doesn't work, you can ask the teacher to help take care of it.
stayed in the hotel for a while, chatted with Laura, and then Ye Dongqing went to Wall Street and sent Zhao Liuli to learn to play the guitar.
These little things can already be handed over to others to be responsible, there used to be Laura to help, but now I can't count on her, Ye Dongqing had the idea of hiring a professional driver, saving him valuable time for things like pick-up, and his monthly salary can't cost a few dollars, he has already called a headhunting company to help inquire, preferably the kind that can be a part-time bodyguard.
With the wealth that Ye Dongqing has now, it is enough to be targeted by some ill-intentioned guys, and it is not only stylish and safe to go out with a bodyguard, but also to avoid the trouble of driving by himself, how good.
......
Next.
Little Edward met with Ye Dongqing again, after the two signed the contract, there were funds transferred to the account of Leoy company on the spot, this small company was established before the gambling some time ago, I didn't expect it to come in handy, after contacting the bank, I learned that the money was in place, and the cooperation was finalized.
Independent of the freshwater fund, Ye Dongqing had another fund that could be operated at will, and hurriedly called Poniema and told the other party that he had money to invest again, but it would not be able to reach their account until five months later.
As one of the founders of Tencent, Bonima has so far mainly been immersed in development and promotion, and there is not much experience in dealing with human affairs.
I was woken up by Ye Dongqing's phone call in the middle of the night, and when I heard that I wanted to invest in my own company, I felt like I was playing with myself, and there was inevitably some anger in my tone: "I understand what you mean, I can wait for a few months, but you're sure you won't change your mind again, right?"
This matter is indeed Ye Dongqing's inauthenticity, he just told Boni some time ago that he could only invest about 20 million US dollars, which almost led to the abortion of the plan to acquire Sohu.
Because Tencent does not have much capital, unless it replaces its shares, it will not have the money to eat the company with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and now Sohu, which mainly operates a portal website, is struggling on the NASDAQ and is not valued by investors at all, and many shareholders wish that investors would come and take over.
"Well, I can come up with 50 million dollars in financing, but instead of acquiring the company called Sohu, I hope you can choose other partners, and you can also develop similar products yourself, which costs less and is more affordable.
In my opinion, with your company's current user base, there is no need to acquire it, the market is still relatively cold, and it is completely possible to push the listing thing back, I hope you can use my financing money in a more suitable place. ”
Determined to invest, Ye Dongqing felt that it was necessary to say these words first.
Tencent claims to have hundreds of millions of registered users, and considering that a large number of zombie users and 10 million or 20 million real users still exist, in 2003, the Internet on the other side of the Pacific Ocean was no small scale, with more than 20 million personal computers and nearly 60 million Internet users.
This means that the money should be spent in more suitable areas such as browsers, online shopping malls, online payment tools, etc., which can earn higher returns in the future than on the portals that can be built on their own.
Ye Dongqing felt that it was more likely to be successful, and he had specially checked the business details of Sohu, and felt that it was just icing on the cake for Tencent, and it would not help much, and now the timing is right, and the money should be spent on the blade.
Boni was seriously considering what Ye Dongqing said, and began to think about whether he could copy a portal like Sohu, and the result was that he could, and after a pause of a few seconds, he turned to ask: "Then what do you think should be done, I remember you said that you have been paying attention to the American Internet market for a long time, and the current market in the United States is the largest, if it were you, where would you use your money?"
"I will first come to the United States to have a look, recently I have invested in a few companies, take you to understand their unique development model, maybe it can help you to manage and operate Tencent in the future, the Chinese market has great prospects, but in the Internet field than the United States started later, maybe you can learn something from it." ”
Ye Dongqing likes to talk to smart people like Boni, for the decision-makers who manage the company, it is always a good advantage to be able to listen to suggestions, if the head is blindly arrogant, then Ye Dongqing should think about whether to invest in other companies, anyway, there are enough projects at the moment, and it is okay to continue to throw money into Amazon or Netflix, Apple, etc.
It's really not good, there is Alibaba over there in Huaxia, it is also a super high-quality stock worth investing in in Ye Dongqing's eyes, but it is more convenient to talk about it with Boniema first.
"Hmm...... If I can get the visa in the near future, I will take a look first, and I will discuss the financing with other shareholders, if I don't acquire Sohu, it is likely that I don't need to raise so much money, mainly because IH Group is more troublesome, and my entrepreneurial team is fine. ”
"Don't worry, Bonnie, as long as you have a big appetite, you will only feel like me that the money in your hand is always insufficient, and the recent opportunity is very good, and it is likely that you will only encounter it once in your life.
So I'll wait for your good news? I'll call you when the time comes, and you're always welcome to visit the United States and take you to Seattle and Silicon Valley, where I have acquaintances......."
After hanging up the phone after greetings, Ye Dongqing lay on the chair and closed his eyes and pondered, the focus of his consideration was still how to avoid risks while striving to maximize profits.
Thinking back to the Internet industry pattern of the confrontation between the two countries in the future, it is definitely worth investing over there, and the contract signed with Edward Johnson Jr. is in front of him, and he will definitely take that guy to make some money, but considering that Edward Jr. is willing to take risks, it is also appropriate to get a return, business belongs to business, and reputation cannot be lost.
The operational funds in hand have now soared to nearly 200 million US dollars, and even more if you count leverage, there are 80 million US dollars for ordinary investments, as well as profits belonging to freshwater funds, plus 60 million US dollars for Edward Jr. to integrate, how to manage it has become a big problem.
This number is far beyond Ye Dongqing's imagination, the process of raising funds is smoother than he imagined, with the relationship of little Edward, it means that it can also be pulled to the tiger skin of Fidelity Investment Group, and many unnecessary small troubles can be easily solved, such as reducing the margin in the process of leverage, increasing the credibility of banks and brokers, and maybe some people in the Securities and Exchange Commission can choose to turn a blind eye and achieve a more flexible investment model.
Recently, due to the risk problems in warrants and oil futures trading, the investigators responsible for supervising the freshwater fund have sent a letter of inquiry, asking them to submit a detailed plan to avoid risks and prove that the funds are reasonable and sufficient.
In the final analysis, the strength is still not enough, and the scale of funds is not enough, so that Ye Dongqing can always feel constrained.
A large part of the funds raised from ordinary investors are invested in low-risk, low-yield fields, such as bonds and money market funds, to ensure the ability to repay after maturity.
At present, the most critical problem is still how to make more money, which belongs to Tamsui Fund Company and Ye Dongqing's own money, which is used to make up for the big hole of insufficient total funds, and no one can help him deal with such thorny problems, so he has to rely on himself.
......
After three consecutive gains, crude oil futures fell again today, with a relatively large range, and more than 30 cents per barrel of oil prices disappeared within half an hour.
The batch of futures orders in his hand is still profitable, but the profits shrank instantly, unlike going to Las Vegas to gamble money, commodity trading is a long-term tug-of-war, Ye Dongqing has been able to deal with it calmly, as long as it does not fall to forced liquidation, it is within an acceptable range.
The long and short game is still continuing, skillfully maintaining a certain balance, the good news is almost released, the thunder and rain in Washington are small, and someone can get first-hand news from the oval office, but Ye Dongqing does not have the ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes, and he is purely relying on the memory of his previous life to gamble.
The price of crude oil futures rose and fell, and for the time being, I was not in a hurry to use the $60 million to enter the market and increase my position, thinking that I would wait and see for a few days for the time being.
