Chapter 238: The Generation Gap

Patrick Heineg has been at the helm of Rolex for many years, and this company is similar to Apple in that it is a decision-making body made up of a group of people, except that Rolex is managed by a foundation, while Apple is a company.

The power of the board of directors is being weakened since Ye Dongqing has more and more Apple shares, and he already has two board seats, and as the stake increases further, more may be occupied, except for Freshwater Investment Group, the rest of the shares are still very fragmented. In fact, there are a total of four members of the board of directors who have sold their shares to Freshwater Investment Group, which has caused some minor disputes, which will not be the focus of tonight.

In recent decades, with the intervention of other forces, the watch industry is also forming an oligopoly, and most of the brands are included in the commercial wave by large groups, such as Hublot, Zenith, TAG Heuer, Bulgari, etc. belong to the LVMH group, Breguet, Blancpain, Longines, Tissot, Omega and other brands belong to the Swatch group, and Vacheron Constantin, Cartier, Piaget, Montblanc and other brands belong to the Richemont group, and there are not many independent watch workshops.

Mr. Heineg had no ambitions, more than enough to manage a company, but a little more ambitious, and out of caution, he had a lot of cash lying in his account, which is why they were able to come out of 1.5 billion euros and seek investment in the United States.

If Ye Dongqing is not mistaken, the previous Rolex company was indeed deceived by Bernard Madoff, this old man and old Bernard belong to the same club, and the friendship between the two is not bad.

But that seems to be just an illusion, after all, the old Bernard was not soft when he pitted him, and the old Bernard only thought about transferring the risk to Ye Dongqing for a while, and then let himself get out as soon as possible, how could he continue to absorb investment funds, so Mark Bernard led him directly to Ye Dongqing, and the two sides had a secret agreement before, and the old Bernard introduced customers to get the benefit fee.

After sitting down, he personally helped pour a bottle of good wine, Le Hua red wine, which has a history of more than 30 years, the specific year is 1978, and it was taken directly from the cabinet, so Ye Dongqing was not distressed at all, he did not help little Edward make money.

There are still many things waiting outside, Ye Dongqing got straight to the point and told: "Mr. Heiniger, I know that my age will make you wonder, many people think that being young means unreliable, but I can guarantee that I am by no means the kind of person who is unreliable.

Just because I said that you may still not trust my company, maybe you can find a team of financial personnel to come to my company to check the accounts, I can guarantee that all the data disclosed to the public is true, any investigation can be done, because I make money with my mind, if you see my return on investment, you will definitely be surprised. ”

Mark Madoff sat next to him, and suddenly felt a little pain in his face, mainly because he was a thief who played a Ponzi scheme, and was stimulated by Ye Dongqing's words, but as long as this business can be negotiated, his family will have a large amount of money in the account.

After thinking of this, he didn't care for a moment, and said on the side: "I have already shown you the information, my father guarantees in his reputation that this kind of financial product is indeed worth buying, and now every investor on Wall Street knows him, knows Freshwater Investment Group, I can take you to New York to see, live in my father's estate, maybe play chess and golf and so on." ”

"I love New York and I love the party, and I've actually gotten to know you and your company, and it's really impressive since it's been established, but I'm still not sure if this magic will last. Mr. Heineg shook his head as he spoke, he was not young anymore, and he even had the smell of an old man, and continued: "Maybe I will buy some of these financial products, but it is almost impossible to buy them all, after all, there is a risk sharing, Mark, are you sure that your father will not accept investment again in the short term?"

Seeing this, Mark Madoff said, "Why don't you enjoy this party first, and let me discuss it with my father again? You are very good friends with him, and I believe that I will not forget you when I have the opportunity to make money, okay?"

Old Heineg made an OK gesture with a satisfied smile on his face and said, "Then I will wait for your good news, and after the matter is done, I will invite your father to enjoy my ski resort for a few days, please tell him that there are the best cigars and beautiful women there, and he can even play golf against the snowy mountains......"

Ye Dongqing was a little messy, because he found that the old man was not interested in his company at all, as Mr. Buffett thought at the beginning.

Maybe they haven't changed, but the world has changed, and it's hard for the older generation of businessmen to understand the information society that is being built, and naturally they won't invest in what they don't understand.

After Old Heineg left to go to the deck, Ye Dongqing rolled his eyes and raised his hand to make a surrender, and said, "Okay, I'm a liar, I can't manage this money at all." God, what's wrong with the world, it seems that your father does have something worth learning from me, such as how to make these old men willing to take out the money.

If your plans change, you should continue to raise funds from your father and then transfer to my company, and I would rather pay more for bank charges than for investors who don't know anything. ”

What made him angry was that he had said so much in vain, and all he got was meaningless coping, and he was sure that if Bernard Sr. didn't play, Heineg Sr. would never buy Freshwater Investment Group's wealth management products.

"They may be more willing to deal with their peers, just as I would prefer to learn from you. ”

Mark Madoff's sycophant shot was just right, making Ye Dongqing comfortable, but not overheating.

Ye Dongqing unbuttoned the two suit buttons, sat down and poured another glass of red wine, and said: "Let's let your father come, the price difference is all yours, or according to the last price, there is no management fee, but I will stop raising funds if I want about five billion US dollars, and the money in my hand is enough for me to develop." ”

"Okay, I'll call him later and tell him about it, and what do you think I'll tell him when the old man is ready to return that my father has decided to take his money?"

"It's good, it will make him feel that he didn't come to the United States in vain, and just the right time can make the other party relax their vigilance, and they won't feel that your father is cheating him out of money. ”

"No, no, no, I used to cheat money, but now I cooperate with you, so it's not a money cheat......"
