Chapter 156: New Phone
Since the liquidation of crude oil futures, Ye Dongqing has always felt that his life has fallen into a boring and boring state, how to say, it seems that there is a lack of passion, and warrants are not as interesting as oil futures.
Thanks to the professional managers, they took care of the company so well that he had almost nothing to do, stayed in the office and became a mascot, whenever a big customer came to the door, there was always a salesman who let the customer meet him, and then tell him how capable this Chinese American was, and made hundreds of millions of dollars in half a year and so on.
Laura went to the UK, and Zhao Liuli boarded at school, which was one of the reasons why Ye Dongqing was bored, and yesterday he even took the initiative to go to a golf club and let the caddie accompany him to play golf, and then switched to tennis...... Basketball...... You can see how boring it is.
The rich are also human beings, unless they are drunk and dream of death every day, how can they live a full and interesting life every day.
It's April, New Yorkers are finally taking off their heavy padded jackets, the trees on the roadside are sprouting, and Central Park is green again.
Zhao Liuli's Adolf School is preparing to organize a spring outing to Washington in the near future, Ye Dongqing can only say that it is really a private school, and he has never encountered such a good thing when he was in school.
After a few months, it is estimated that Ferrari finally remembered that there was a user of him, and sent three sports cars at one time, no way, if you want to buy Enzo, you have to become a VIP first, even if you are a billionaire, so you have to buy other cars with you, this kind of marketing routine is really powerful.
In fact, all Ye Dongqing wanted was Enzo, he hadn't driven the other two cars at all after they were delivered, and he was going to wait until the annual meeting as a prize for an employee, or send one to London as a gift for Laura, anyway, it would be a waste to be idle, and when Bugatti got it, he wouldn't drive them.
April 7th.
Still wearing pajamas at lunch, I was going to buy a plane ticket to Silicon Valley later to see how the company was doing, but I unexpectedly received a phone call from Mr. Mike Howell, a real estate agent.
As soon as I connected it, I heard the other party shouting in an excited voice: "Good news! Mr. Ye, the owner of that small island has agreed to sell it for 65 million US dollars, and accepts the payment in installments, you are still interested in it, right, you can get it in a few days, and all the things have been removed from the island!"
"Yes, but I've already bought a small island in the Bahamas, and I don't have any idea of buying real estate for the time being, but ......"
When he heard the first few words, Mike Howell's heart was half cold, the price of that island was too high, only Ye Dongqing had visited it recently, showing the intention of trying to buy it, and he saw it from the newspaper that this little Chinese guy had recently made a lot of money!
Hurriedly asked, "But what?"
"If the price could be more appropriate, let's go down to $60 million, I'd buy it in installments, and of course, I'm willing to provide the assets as collateral. ”
It's rare to have fun to take the initiative to find the door, Ye Dongqing doesn't want to miss it, let him come up with more than 60 million US dollars at one time, there will be pressure to pay more than 60 million US dollars at once, and there is no problem that affects the liquidity of funds, and it is completely possible to use the shares of faebook to mortgage the loan, or let the freshwater investment fund that is about to pay a large amount of taxes before April 15 pay money, so that you can pay less taxes.
Previously, he had already moved the idea of purchasing a private jet in the name of the company, and finally decided to wait for two more years, and wait until he saved enough money to buy Boeing and Airbus large passenger aircraft.
"Wow, that's a lot of money, and I honestly don't think the seller would agree to cut the price that much. ”
Before Michael Howell finished speaking, Ye Dongqing interrupted: "Then forget it, anyway, it won't be sold for a while, there are not many high-quality customers like me who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it, maybe I should consider going to Wyoming, Montana and other remote places to buy a resort area with great scenery, which is more comfortable than a small island of forty-eight acres to live in, not to mention that it is difficult to say whether it is an island in the strict sense or not." ”
The higher the selling price, the higher the commission the real estate agent can get, and most of this part of the fee is paid by the seller, so he is not polite at the moment, and opens his mouth to cut five million dollars.
There is a raised remote control lever on the mobile phone, the style of the fool machine is strange in these years, and it has been poked several times, which reminds Ye Dongqing that he should change to another mobile phone recently, and the mobile phone of Nokia's luxury jewelry series vertu, which I couldn't afford last time, has not changed much, and the style is much better than my current one, and the price is as high as thirty or forty thousand dollars.
“...... I'll ask the seller what he thinks now, and there is no guarantee that it will definitely be negotiated, but as long as you have the sincerity to buy, it should be a little cheaper, ok?"
"Then I'll wait for your reply. ”
After dropping this sentence, Ye Dongqing hung up the phone, got up lazily and went to change clothes, I really want to go out to buy a mobile phone, there is a vertu mobile phone store on Fifth Avenue.
&u, in 1998, Nokia's chief designer tried to make the mobile phone into a luxury jewelry, Nokia's senior management was very interested, so the company was born in 2000, and just released its first product last year, a large number of sapphire and ruby materials, equipped with a physical keyboard, equipped with a SY forcing AN system, as if it was not made for ordinary people.
When I went back to buy a mobile phone, Ye Dongqing was still an ordinary person, I couldn't afford to buy its mobile phone, I could only look at it on the poster, this time I drove out to find the vertu store, he directly asked people to take the most advanced one to himself, black crocodile leather with gold, there is a ruby in the center of the button, after reading it, I swiped the card and bought it decisively, put the card in the old mobile phone into the mobile phone, not to talk about the bad feeling for the time being, the appearance and material can't find any major faults, that's enough, a full 46,000 US dollars, buy a little happy.
The female clerk who looked a little cute wrote her number directly on the invoice, and her eyes did not hide the deep meaning at all, Ye Dongqing was not interested in her, but she still sighed that her eyes were vicious enough, and most of them recognized her credit card.
As soon as I went out and sat in the red sports car designed to be anti-human, I heard the mobile phone ringing, and when I saw the number, I was secretly angry, and the first number received by the mobile phone was actually from Little Edward, and I didn't say angrily after connecting: "Don't cooperate, don't give advice, and don't lend you money, okay, what's the matter?"
Little Edward, who was far away at Harvard University, almost exploded, and after taking a few deep breaths, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile: "You may have misunderstood something, we worked together very well last time, didn't we? You make money, I make money, everyone is happy......"
