Chapter 51: Paul
The foreshadowing at the front comes in handy.
Knowing that the total size of the freshwater fund is currently only about 16 million US dollars, Malik instantly lowered his vigilance, because the scale is small, and the risk is also smaller.
After Volkswagen acquired the Bugatti brand in 1998, it launched one of the most powerful concept cars ever, named Weihang, which no one can own now, and the price tag is more than a million dollars, making it the most expensive and fantastic car of the early 21st century.
Maybe because they are all young people, the atmosphere of conversation is more relaxed, which makes Markley relax his guard, he didn't guess that Ye Dongqing was talking nonsense, and after continuing to understand the details, he signed a check.
After getting along with each other as friends, exchanging mobile phone numbers with each other, agreeing to go to a bar and riding a horse together when they are free, and personally sending Malik away, Ye Dongqing went upstairs and returned to the company, clapping his hands to attract the attention of the employees.
He waved the check and laughed, "Guys! Director Vigo just won the company's biggest order! $3 million!"
"Wow! Is this true?"
"Oh my God, the prize must be a lot! we should be invited to drink tonight!"
Ye Dongqing joined in the fun and continued to speak: "Yes, I decided to give her a bonus of 80,000 US dollars, and I will give it when I pay her salary next month, and I can find a bar to have a few drinks in the evening, and our company will soon have assets of 20 million US dollars!"
It's important to motivate your employees from time to time, as it will motivate them and foster a sense of identity and belonging to the company.
The money to help customers manage is not his money, aside from the company's expenses and labor costs, the real one that belongs to Ye Dongqing is less than seven figures, and the next thing depends on whether the investment can bring more returns.
Hearing this number, Director Vigo was taken aback, "Three million?
"Of course, the check is in my hand, so I'll mention the company account first, and we'll discuss where to invest later.
What about the data terminal of Bloomberg News, which has not been sent over for installation? How can the fund company be missing that and help me call and urge. ”
The data terminal he refers to is a real-time financial market data query and analysis product launched by Bloomberg News, and can be traded through the data terminal, and if you are willing to spend more money, you can also buy more professional information from them, such as a company's financial reports and performance expectations.
Stimulated by this reward of tens of thousands of dollars, the rest of the people are as if they have been beaten with chicken blood, eager to catch the real big customers, so that they can also get a super high reward, 80,000 US dollars, which is almost their basic salary for a whole year.
Ms. Vigo agreed to the treat, took the check from Ye Dongqing's hand and cashed it, while the rest of the people continued to be busy.
When he got back to his office, he found a cigar from a drawer, which was a remnant of old Mr. Steven, and Americans don't like Cubans, but they have a soft spot for Cuban cigars, and the smell of burning is quite charming.
Miss Laura quickly knocked on the door and walked in, and said to him, "I contacted the supplier, and they promised to come and install them for you this afternoon, three in all, right?"
"Enough, you don't need so much for the time being, go out with me in the afternoon. ”
"What?" she asked, not liking the cigar smell and moving away, curiously.
"Interview, rent an office by the way, and have to be equipped with a few computers......"
It was only early November 2002.
At the beginning, Ye Dongqing was excited about the opportunities everywhere, and wondered which company to invest in to make a lot of money.
Later, he found out that pinning his hopes on other people was risky, and the rate of return did not satisfy him, such as Apple, Amazon, Google, etc., which are currently worth billions of dollars, which means that a lot of money needs to be invested to control a small part of the shares.
With this in mind, he began to think about another question: since he knew what kind of products would have a market, why not start his own business?
With Gates, Xiaozha, Larry Page, Sergey Brin and others as role models, it is more clear what kind of person it will be when compared with the founder of SoftBank Group, who will be in deep financial crisis in the future.
What's more, this is not a multiple-choice question that has to choose left or right, the two paths can be walked together, while playing entrepreneurship and engaging in investment.
Facebook's market prospect made him excited, knowing what kind of product FB is, but it doesn't mean that Xiaozha can be famous, Ye Dongqing will definitely be able to become famous if he does it himself.
The rise of this product is very related to the emergence of mobile intelligent terminal products, as well as the increase in the scale of Internet users and the upgrading of network transmission technology, and the most important financial issue must also be considered.
Just thinking about it can't get a result, it's similar to starting a freshwater fund company, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and you still have to take one step at a time.
I didn't have time to get a driver's license, so I just had a bite to eat and took Laura out the door.
Drive north along Broadway Avenue through the Upper West Side to Mount Vernon, which is out of Manhattan and in Westchester County, New York.
There are many traffic lights in the city, and there are often traffic jams, and it took an hour to arrive, and Laura scolded this boss for really being able to toss and run so far.
In his last life, Ye Dongqing had a team under him.
With the unexpected appearance, all the past friendships dissipated with the wind, and he was a stranger who had never been in contact with him in this time and space.
Today he finally came to see his "old friend", he had seen the low hillside in the distance, when he had come to attend the funeral of his friend's father, and now the grass by the road was covered with snow, and Mount Vernon had become a snow-capped mountain, and there were rabbits crossing the road at great speed.
The snow on the road was cleared, and a black asphalt road went straight ahead to the small town of Westchester, and with a small memory, it took a while to turn left and right, and successfully found a house with a huge American red maple in the yard, and the branches and leaves had not yet fallen clean.
Ye Dongqing parked the car and said to Laura: "You are a girl, you have more advantages, now go to their house and knock on the door and ask if Paul Kutcher is at home." ”
"Huh, and then?"
"If his parents open the door, you say you're a former classmate of Paul and want to invite him to the party in person.
In case it's a guy who looks about your age, just say that because of Microsoft's zero-day vulnerability, he's been targeted by the police, and I'll give it to me next. “
"But Leo, why don't you knock on the door yourself?"
"Hearing the man's voice, I'm worried that he won't open the door, that guy has a bit of a weird personality, I need to ask him to do me a little favor......"
