One billion dollars is only the first batch, and Mr. Bernard Madoff has promised to transfer the remaining billion dollars within a month.

The old man still has money in his hands, the total amount is about five billion US dollars, and the two have communicated on the phone several times, according to Bernard Madoff, if Ye Dongqing can ensure that he can fulfill the contract on time and cooperate with his business, the remaining funds will be in place one after another.

Otherwise, the money will also drag the old man into the abyss, after all, his investment has not brought any return so far, in order to avoid a run, he must also pay dividends to customers on time, in the business world, once the reputation is ruined, everything is ruined, as long as there is any scandal, no one will believe him anymore.

Regarding this transaction, only Ye Dongqing, Mr. McCord, and the company's chief financial officer knew about this transaction in Tamsui Investment Group, and the latter two did not know that the old Bernard was "blackmailed" to transfer the money, and thought that he had reached an agreement with Ye Dongqing, trying to deceive investors and count the money earned from buying wealth management products as their own income.

Considering Ye Dongqing's personal health and asset status, neither CEO McCord nor the CFO (chief financial officer) think there is anything wrong with this kind of thing, and they have signed a confidentiality agreement in exchange for a "reward" of 100,000 US dollars.

"Ever since I learned that Mr. Madoff had a connection with you and was ready to invest money in our company, I began to axe the various projects of the Golden Island Wealth Management Company, and now it has more than 1,100 employees left, most of whom will be fired in two years.

If nothing else, the total assets of clients managed by Freshwater Fund will soon reach $20 billion, and if Mr. Madoff transfers all the assets to him, there will only be about $8 billion left, and now he is in contact with several Wall Street companies, and they are very interested, and the total investment scale is expected to reach $1.4 billion, with an annualized rate of return of 10 points. ”

As he spoke, Mr. McCord took the cigar handed by Ye Dongqing, lit it with a lighter, and then swallowed the clouds and spit out smoke in the office, along with the success of Tamsui Investment Group, which made him have a bit of status in the financial circle, and a suit on his body was worth tens of thousands of dollars, just like the dress of a successful person, with a more mature temperament, more like a boss than Ye Dongqing.

Ye Dongqing himself also nodded, and said in his mouth: "Whether it is a regular employee or a temporary employee, the compensation is slightly more when you are dismissed, although I told them that this job is not long, but I didn't expect it to be so short, and they have all contributed to the development of the company. ”

"We started a company, not for charity, and we never got the benefits from the New York State, so why did we raise a large group of people for nothing. ”

"It's different from before, we must pay attention to the impact, and then the funds will be very sufficient, and it is best to reduce the interest slightly down, even if it is only 8% annualized, it is a lot higher than the bank, treasury bonds, etc., there is no need to ask others, I can continue to make money.

Old Bernard is not at ease for the time being, I will use the results to tell him that there is absolutely nothing wrong with investing in me, so it is estimated that it will not be long before he will transfer the rest of the money to me for investment, and everything will be as usual for the time being, and I will notify you when I need to reduce the dividend. ”

"By the way, boss, I haven't asked you how you persuaded Mr. Madoff to invest in our company? Before you called me, I didn't receive any notice in advance, this business is really simple, and he can make a lot of money this time, right?"

Ye Dongqing couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, Bernard Madoff is very beautiful in front of people, who would have thought that such a famous Wall Street giant would carefully arrange a Ponzi scheme?

Thinking of the "Wolf of Wall Street" I once watched, compared with the protagonist in it, the old Bernard is the real old wolf, if he continues to let his deception continue, he may end up with a loss of five or six billion US dollars like in his previous life, which shows that the elite group is not necessarily smart, and they are not played by this old man.

He smiled and shook his head and told Mr. McCord: "It's not as simple as you think, anyone will have pressure to manage such a large amount of money, investing in me is the wisest thing to do, don't ask about the process." ”

Subconsciously thinking that the old man was incapable and could not manage so much money well, but he was still greedy to continue to absorb funds, McCord nodded and didn't ask more, and followed the boss's words just now: "OK, I will adjust the plan to raise funds next, the previous ones are still the same, right, I will release the news at the right time to tell people that we have raised enough funds." ”

Whether it is a private equity fund or a public fund, the water in the industry is very deep, they don't care whether they have a good investment plan, as long as someone is willing to invest all of them, and then make money from the management fee, the more money they manage, the more money these fund managers make, anyway, even if they lose, the loss is also the money of investors.

Freshwater Investment Group is different, it is more like issuing some kind of high-return bonds, although Ye Dongqing feels that he can earn more, but considering the risk control, it is better to limit the scale to a controllable range, the world's money can never be earned by him alone, if the interest rate is low, he can continue to raise funds from investors.

$20 billion is just a red line that does not exist, and it does not necessarily have to be limited to $20 billion.

Ye Dongqing said: "Don't worry for the time being, the most important thing is to immediately help me buy some oil futures orders sold by others, and look at the kind of long-term contracts that are bullish on oil prices, don't buy the opposite, I think oil prices will definitely rise again."

Let's start opening a position today, the more leverage, the better, I'm ready to put all the money that Bernard Sr. invested in us, don't try to persuade me, I've already made up my mind, if I'm not sure I won't be so aggressive. ”

"Multi-...... How much? Two billion dollars? And leverage?"

The vaccination is useless, but Mr. McCord is still frightened, and he uses two billion dollars to leverage, even if it is only five times the leverage, there are 10 billion dollars, and when the time comes, a single point of fluctuation can lead to hundreds of millions of dollars, and even some countries dare not play such a big trick.

In his opinion, this kind of business is simply looking for death, in case of a collapse, judging from Ye Dongqing's current worth, even if he is not dead, he will be half dead......
