Chapter 383: Hedging Those Things (3)
Chatted through the phone.
I have been sulking for so long, Ye Dongqing has also called her repeatedly, she has apologized to all those who should apologize, and her attitude is more sincere, plus she has been mentally prepared for the matter of Huaxin.
Laura finally found the steps and walked down by herself, deliberately avoiding sensitive topics, talking about what happened recently, such as campus life at University College London, and some things at work, only saying that she received a movie with the help of a brokerage company and played a supporting actress in it, because when it comes to Victoria's Secret, they will think of another woman, and they don't mention this company, which is very tacit.
Sometimes, Ye Dongqing even forgets that he is still a student of Harvard, and suddenly realizes that he has not been back for more than a year, and neither the tutor nor the senior management of the business school seems to have urged or reminded him.
If it weren't for the occasional Harvard University official account boasting about himself on Facebook, such as when Forbes magazine came out this year and he was ranked third on the list, Ye Dongqing might have thought that he had been expelled.
Thinking about whether I should go back recently, by the way, I took some cheap and easy-to-use elites to enter the company as interns, and last year I gathered a group of people with alumni status, about more than 200 people, and now some have become a part of the company, the "Harvard Department" is a monopoly under him, and the number of talents in the same Ivy League school is actually quite a lot, but they are not united enough.
Because Ye Dongqing was also branded as "Harvard", although there were some factional disputes, there was not much chaos, which can be regarded as healthy internal competition, and other large companies also have this phenomenon.
Wall Street financial circles, lawyers, doctors, professional managers, and even judges and politicians, these fields attach great importance to academic qualifications, and have long formed an unspoken rule, even if people from miscellaneous schools are able, they will be excluded, it can be said that a graduation book from a prestigious school means a stepping stone for different people to step into high society.
Because he is his own person, Ye Dongqing often feels the goodwill from Harvard alumni, and of course, these are also related to his personal achievements.
As the only Chinese in the top 10 of the world's richest list, his influence is not small now, but he deliberately kept a low profile, did not use this part of the resources, and was temporarily in a state of muffled fortune, and as he got older, he was bound to participate in more activities.
Xiangjiang Lao Li ranked twentieth last year, and it is difficult to count how much money is hidden secretly, but on the surface, it is almost more than one-third of Ye Dongqing.
This year, Ye Dongqing's ranking is likely to surpass Mr. Buffett, but Gates is almost 50 billion US dollars, and it is the remaining wealth after donating a part of it, whether it can reach the top this year is still uncertain, mainly depends on Facebook's market development progress, as well as Apple's performance, and other industries together are also a big piece of cake, just like Green Mountain Coffee, it has begun to exert force, with the launch of advertising, sales have skyrocketed by more than 30 times!
The planted saplings have begun to bear fruit, and people really don't know how to describe his success story except in disbelief, and this is just the beginning.
There is no need to worry about the business territory, there is a little trouble in personal life, but it is being solved by him one by one, he has a confidante and a daughter, and after appeasing Laura, he asked her to come to New York to play freely, and then hung up the phone......
On the same day, on the island, I visited the botanical garden under construction, the equipment is being debugged, several huge baobab trees transported from Africa, are being planted in the soil by the workers, and there are a lot of desert vegetation growing around, the largest cactus is more than seven meters high, all of which have been carefully selected and have a beautiful appearance, and it will take almost four months to prepare for the opening to the public.
There are a group of macaws in the tropical garden, jackfruit, mango or something, it is estimated that there is no need to buy them on the market in the future, and a lot of money has been spent for this botanical garden, but Ye Dongqing feels that it is worth it to make such a back garden, which is enough, you can't just make money without spending money, so what is the motivation to make money.
During the day of the next day, I talked with several executives of Apple and Mr. Bezos, the executive officer of Amazon, that the mass production of iTouch has been put on the agenda, and the parts manufacturers have been discussed, and the expected global sales are about 8 million to 12 million units, after all, the iPod music player can be withdrawn from the stage of history, referring to the sales of the iPod, this figure is quite convincing.
Considering the high pricing, the sales group is mainly those people in developed countries and regions, and it is estimated that it will also help to promote the sales of Apple MacBook notebooks and iMac all-in-one computers, the system is almost the same, and the product design is absolutely nothing to say, under Ye Dongqing's suggestion, Apple's directly operated retail stores will increase to about 400 by the end of the year.
To be honest, he currently hopes that Apple will burn more money, so that it can be a matter of course to issue new shares, take the opportunity to increase the shareholding ratio, I believe that the joint of several other powerful small shareholder institutions, should be able to achieve this purpose, but there must be bright spots, last year's R & D investment was too much, many scattered shareholders have begun to complain about not dividends, only let them believe that investing more money in R & D will bring them huge benefits, the implementation of the plan to raise funds for additional shares will not encounter much resistance.
Ye Dongqing didn't say anything to anyone about this, he seemed to have grown into a more qualified businessman, and his vision became more long-term.
The reason why Apple is special in his eyes is because Ye Dongqing also hopes to seize this opportunity to change the world, Facebook and other companies are not bad, but compared with a real smartphone, the influence is a little less after all, people can hold the real Apple products, but can only access Facebook's products in the virtual digital world.
Like the impression of Jobs, wherever he goes, he will face fans who are in a state of frenzy, and this kind of pinnacle of life is Ye Dongqing's dream achievement......
At about 6 o'clock in the evening, I arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, and the hall was already full of guests who had come to attend the seminar, and the tickets were relatively expensive, but the organizers did not lack this little money, and promised to donate all of it to several churches in New York State to help the homeless and orphans.
This can be regarded as Ye Dongqing's indirect charity.
After seeing him, a group of people came around to greet him politely, regardless of etiquette, they were swarming around, they knew that little Edward was making money, and they also knew that even Ye Dongqing's bodyguards had bought stocks and made a fortune, compared with Soros's achievements, Ye Dongqing's experience was undoubtedly more suitable for this group of people.
The founder of a hedge fund company with a Jewish face and a small reputation on Wall Street almost stuffed his business card into Ye Dongqing's hand, and after revealing his identity, he asked without scruples: "Leo, do you think the NASDAQ Internet industry is still worth investing in? Is this another round of bubbles?"
The road was blocked, Ye Dongqing had no choice but to stop, and said angrily: "Donate $500,000 in my name and I'll tell you, the sky on Wall Street won't drop pie." ”
I originally wanted to ridicule this guy for not knowing the rules, no one would go around talking about these things, especially on this occasion.
Unexpectedly, this Jew took it seriously, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately took out his checkbook, and said: "I'll write it now and donate it in your name!"
It's not angry words, I really filled it out on the check, and after writing it quickly, I didn't forget to add: "Let's talk in private." ”
The people around were collectively stunned, and suddenly there was a sound of ridicule and ridicule, worthy of being a Jew, and their eyes glared and shouted: "You didn't spend any money, why should I take you to listen? If you want to know that you spend money to buy news, you don't see you feel sorry for money when you bribe others! Who cheated me last time, and I haven't found anyone to settle accounts!"
It seems to make a lot of sense.
