Ye Dongqing has tried, two months is the limit, taking classes, doing homework or something, it is really not the life he likes.

After a period of boring and boring study life, he went to London for a week's vacation, then to Silicon Valley, and then went back to Harvard to take his exams.

Nothing big happened, and in the blink of an eye, it was December 2003, Christmas Eve.

Standing on the tail of the end of the year to look back on the whole year, the harvest is undoubtedly very huge, after the first half of the wealth skyrocketing period, the second half of the business is also very good, the total wealth continues to climb to one peak after another.

Puchuan Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Today is December 21st, a group of people came to Ye Dongqing's house, they installed all kinds of equipment in their bags, and equipped him with a microphone, Mr. Tom Kitt, a reporter from Forbes magazine, was sitting opposite him, and said:

"Before the formal interview, let me make it clear to you, your name will appear in the next issue of the Global Rich List, the Global Chinese Rich List, and the American Celebrity List, and there will also be some less important lists, if you are willing to introduce your accurate wealth to us, it may lead to a change in the ranking, I wonder if you are willing to announce it?"

“...... I can understand the first two lists, but the American celebrity list?"

Ye Dongqing just changed his hairstyle last month, the kind with a big back, which is more trendy, and in order to receive this interview in the morning, he specially called the stylist to blow his hair.

At the moment, he is wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a thin black tie that matches his temperament very well, and he has been away from home for a long time, and the arowana has hung three of them, because the heating was not turned on in time after winter, and the temperature was too low, so that the aquarium in the living room was empty.

Tomkit reporter nodded and replied: "That's right, you have become more and more influential among young people this year, we have randomly distributed a thousand questionnaires, and 19.1% of college students said that they know you, and your name will be written into the list, but the ranking will not be too high, after all, the exposure is not comparable to that of celebrities, and you don't like to show your head in public." ”

"Then I should have worked harder, and before I decide whether or not I want to release the specific wealth, you will tell me what the figure is expected to be?"

"It's almost $6 billion, including Faebook, Skype, the two Internet companies, and the stocks invested in the name of Freshwater Investment Group, etc., we have investigated public data, and it is relatively easy to estimate. ”

Faebook almost surpassed 150 million registered users worldwide, and as one of the most successful startups in 2003, its valuation soared to about $4 billion, not only in the United States, but also in other countries, Canada and Australia alone, with more than 7 million people combined, and the United Kingdom to exceed 10 million.

Valuation is valuation, the actual value is still difficult to say for the time being, Forbes has only listed an approximate number, after all, so far, Ye Dongqing is still unwilling to accept any financing, and there have been many lawsuits for this, and some people are putting pressure on him.

"It's not so much, to be honest, I don't know how much money I have, I know everything I need to know, there's nothing to announce, just some real estate.

By the way, did you calculate the Internet company I invested in Huaxia?"

"Hmm...... The list is in the data, your shares are worth about $100 million, right?"

"That's okay, let's start the official interview, and say what you want to ask directly......"

Someone was taking pictures, Ye Dongqing was sitting after buttoning up, Zhao Liuli was hiding behind the wall and poking her head, she had recently had a winter vacation, and after her nutrition kept up, her height jumped a lot higher than when she was just brought back, but she was still just a little girl.

Tom Kitt reporter opened the notebook and took out a pen, and said in his mouth: "Okay, let's start, the first question is about Tamsui Investment Group, what do you think of the stock price rise since the second half of this year? We know that you are the largest shareholder of Apple, and at this time last year, you just started to pay attention to Apple, what makes you fancy this company and feel that it is worth investing in?"

Apple has performed very well on the Nasdaq market in recent months, with its stock price up about 32 percent from the beginning of the year to the present, and the explosion period was concentrated after the launch of iTunes, which led to a surge in iPod sales.

A few months ago, the AppStore was also launched, which was highly recognized, and many programs run more smoothly under the OS system, especially some games and office programs, after Ye Dongqing's guidance, two concept products that will be launched next year were launched last month, IA all-in-one computer and AbookPro performance version of the laptop, the body is made of aluminum alloy in large quantities, and the sense of science and technology is full.

Performance aside, with its appearance in the potential user group to gain great recognition, Ye Dongqing also suggested that Jobs put aside old grievances, spend a lot of money to win the right to use Microsoft's office system, and try to achieve compatibility with Apple's original products, these are the main reasons for pushing up Apple's stock price.

"It's a normal success, Apple was very good before I invested, and then it was just back on track, Apple has its own operating system, its own R&D lab, its own sales channels and production plants, and its patent reserves are among the top companies in Silicon Valley.

I see the potential and I have some ideas of my own, and I need a company like this to help me make it happen, Mr. Eo Steve Jobs, Mr. OO Tim Cook, are very capable managers, they support my idea, it is not successful at the moment, it seems to me that this is more like a small beginning, there is still a lot to be done, the board members are on my side, we believe that it will be more and more successful. ”

"Same question, what about Amazon? You've got 11.7 percent ownership in this company, and it's been giving you high returns this year, and my colleague interviewed Jeff Bezos, who is optimistic about the fourth-quarter earnings report, which could further spur the stock price higher. ”

"Amazon has a lot fewer problems than Apple, and I'm sure Mr. Bezos can handle it, and he has a healthy mindset.

In my opinion, this is the home online Wal-Mart, which is more convenient than Wal-Mart, and the product range can be richer, and I will continue to increase my holdings if I have the opportunity.

It is no exaggeration to say that if a major shareholder is willing to sell, within 20 percent of the premium, I will receive as many shares as I want, you can add this sentence to it, it can be regarded as an advertisement......"
