In the final analysis, it is just irrational vindictiveness.

Even if you take the piece of land next to the Cobra Building, no matter how much money you make, you will probably not lose money.

It is rare to have a large area of land on Manhattan Island, and the west side near the Hudson River is gradually inferior to the east side, mainly because the east side is supported by the population environment of Brooklyn and Queens.

can make himself comfortable, and at the same time not lose money, this is the reason why he finally decided to mix it after thinking about it.

As for funding.

The old way, first borrow from the bank, and then slowly repay, the real estate company does the same, and I don't see them making less money, and the wool is still out of the sheep in the end.

It may be because the price is too high.

The Hudson Yards project is progressing slowly, and people often ask about it, but only Ye Dongqing and another local New York company are really making a move, and they are preparing to build a commercial headquarters project over there, the kind that is more than 300 meters high.

Mayor Bloomberg, after a brief moment of reflection, said: "There will be an extension of Line 7 on the Hudson Yards side, which is a planned project, and in addition to the surrounding greenery, the road repair work will start in the second half of this year, and who will sell the land...... It's not up to me, I'll hold a small auction if I can, and it shouldn't be a big problem for you to get it on your own. ”

Ye Dongqing can understand Mr. Bloomberg's difficulties.

Managing an entire city, and being the center of the global economy, is a matter of special attention to every move, and is not the land of his own company, and ultimately has to be held accountable to all the citizens of New York.

It is best to hold a land auction, and it is more fair to speak with strength, and whoever bids higher will own it.

"The first money to buy the land has already been paid to the City Hall, and I'm a reputable businessman who is also generating tax revenues, creating jobs, and working to increase New York's international influence, so if I take a picture of it, can I pay in installments like last time? You know, although I'm nominally rich, I don't have a lot of cash income, and most of it is used for reinvestment, and a Cobra building is already a bit of a struggle for me. ”

That's a big truth.

Don't look at Gates, Buffett, Ye Dongqing and others are particularly wealthy, but in fact, it is more difficult for them to get two billion dollars in cash in a short period of time, no one will want to keep idle cash waiting for depreciation, of course, it is just more difficult, they can also take it out in some way, it may be raised by a sale, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to use the strength of milk.

Money will depreciate, especially with a strong exchange rate, which naturally means that the longer the non-interest-bearing debt drags on, the better, which is equivalent to a disguised discount, and can also get other additional policy benefits, such as tax deductions.

Mayor Bloomberg paused for a few seconds and replied: "If you do do take a picture and build a nice apartment or stadium over there, I'm sure you can continue to enjoy the installment policy, but not for too long, probably like the Cobra Building agreement."

To be honest, I've been amazed to hear about you lately, and it's definitely a huge growth to know that giving your wealth back to the community. I despised you for a few seconds here last year when you said you had been trying to avoid taxes, and now I apologize to you, New York needs a super-rich man like you as an example, and I decided to give 98 percent of my wealth when I die, leaving only 2 percent for future generations, and maybe when I retire, we can talk about how to do philanthropy. ”

It's quite a high praise, although Ye Dongqing doesn't live for the eyes of others, he still feels quite comfortable hearing this kind of words.

He smiled and said, "Don't become the second Jorge Guino, it's better to ask your children's opinions for this kind of thing, and stay a little more, no one will blame you for anything." ”

Jorge Guino, a legendary rich second generation who is regarded as a joke, inherited a fortune of more than two billion dollars in the last century, and is inspired to spend this money in his lifetime.

Afterward.

People are still alive, but the money is spent early, and in the end, they can only live in a dilapidated small house with their children, living on handouts.

Mayor Bloomberg rolled his eyes after hearing this, "Don't worry, I don't spend much, even the relief money is enough, my daughters have their own businesses, even a small part of my wealth is enough for them to live a happy life, anyway, I'm so old, even if I live a long life, I only have twenty or thirty years left, but I want to remind you not to do stupid things." ”

"Don't worry about me, I can't spend money as fast as I can make money, this is just the beginning, the best time to make money is coming, maybe then I'll donate more to City Hall to improve New York's poor infrastructure, at least hire more sanitation workers, and the number of roadside garbage cans is a little small. ”

"I'll just take this as an accusation, you are always welcome to donate a check, and then I will take more time to walk around, some environmental issues I will deal with, and there are other things? If not, then go back first, and I will go to a company to cut the ribbon later, which is obviously a waste of my life, before I took office, I naively thought that I could really do things according to my heart, but then I found that I spent more time running around and arguing with others. ”

"People will invite you if they like you, and I hope you can pay more attention to the security situation in several Chinese gathering places, not to mention any preferential treatment, at least not to think that second-class citizens are not taken seriously, and I will let them all vote for you when the time comes." ”

Ye Dongqing said half-jokingly and half-seriously, he had never tried to seek too many benefits for his compatriots before, this was the first time he had tried.

Mayor Bloomberg looked at him after listening to it, he had lived in New York for so long, so he naturally heard something, because Chinese Americans don't like to make trouble, so he didn't rush to the door to help, and nodded at this time: "I will understand the situation, you can give me some advice." ”

"OK, I'll send it to you after I go back and sort it out, mainly some welfare, equality and other issues, my compatriots study very hard, but unfortunately it is often difficult to get equal access to school, and it is easier to be fired by the bosses, probably because they don't like to express themselves, especially new immigrants, I heard that the police will not pay attention to the report of Chinese Americans, which is obviously conniving at the rise in crime......"
