The layout was almost complete, and it took almost two years in total.

To be honest, to achieve the current achievements, even Ye Dongqing himself did not expect, looking back, I have to say that the original choice to start from the freshwater fund to solve the problem of the capital chain is really a good move, saving the initial capital accumulation process, borrowing other people's money to invest and profit.

Next, I have to pay back all the principal and interest, but there is no need to worry about this money for the time being, the interest is almost more than 1.8 billion US dollars a year, not to mention Facebook, Amazon, even Ye Dongqing's own speculation, the interest can be earned back, and there is no risk for the time being.

The following is estimated to be a long waiting period, the seeds have been sown, and it is difficult to say what kind of harvest can be achieved in the end, he has set up a large team of assistants, responsible for supervising and reviewing the business conditions and strategic planning of each company, and finally summarized to Ye Dongqing, the workload is not small, but considering the possible returns, it is worth spending a little more thought.

In addition, some of the companies in which he has a stake can carry out deeper cooperation, which also needs to be promoted by Ye Dongqing himself.

For example, Apple's press conference last month was broadcast live in the form of text and pictures through Facebook, which achieved extraordinary influence.

Although the mobile smart products that haunted him have not yet completed all the research and development work, they are stuck by some technical points, and they are still in preparation, but many of his suggestions have been used, such as the appearance of a new laptop and an all-in-one computer, using a complex aluminum alloy material, and the screen has been replaced with the latest high-definition screen, these are hardware improvements, and many optimization measures have been added to the software, such as app-store, adding up to thousands of programs, most of which are free, and some can be purchased online.

The iPod Walkman has also changed a lot, it has new features for playing MPEG-4 and H.264 movies and reading e-books, the screen has become larger, and some of the technology from the lab has been preempted for this small product, but unfortunately the power is only enough to watch a two-and-a-half-hour movie, and the picture quality is relatively poor, I have to admit that it is indeed very trendy.

As soon as the three main products came out, they immediately caused heated discussions, and the sales after the sale were very hot, which made Ye Dongqing prove his strength in front of Apple's other shareholders and management, as Apple's stock price approached 10 billion US dollars, his investment finally stopped losing money, because the premium acquisition cost a lot of unjust money, and now not only does not lose, but also makes a lot of money.

To say that the iPod's best-selling at the beginning of the year has given other shareholders hope to make money, and this press conference is simply full of surprises, and if the follow-up sales climb, it will definitely be able to further stimulate the stock price rise when the next earnings report is released, and the revival has begun.

These will be said later, even if it is powerful now, Ye Dongqing also feels that the lack of mobile smart products is still not perfect, you must know that he has invested in many Internet companies, and when mobile smart products appear, most of the companies in his hands will have a skyrocketing market value at that time, which is what he hopes to see the most......

When he returned to the city hall, almost no one paid attention to him, and at this moment, when he entered through the gate, even the security guards greeted him with a cordial face.

What a wonderful fate, people only know that he, a poor boy born in Chinatown, has now become the richest person in New York, there is no one, even the Koch brothers and Mayor Bloomberg were pressed down by him, and when they walked forward, many people looked at Ye Dongqing, feeling very cool, as if they had their own halo.

I still remember the road, shook hands with the second-in-command of the city hall and said hello, and made an appointment to go golf together when I was free, after Ye Dongqing handed over the business card, he talked with the prosecutor general of New York State for a while, exchanged business cards again, and joked that he invited the other party to come to his Tamsui Investment Group as a consultant, and the annual salary would start at least two million US dollars, but this prosecutor was not serious, it was not the first time that someone had put forward a similar idea, if he wanted to work for a large company, he would have already left.

Recently, he has been running around, rarely attending social gatherings at the upper echelons, and when he came to City Hall, he was delayed for more than half an hour just talking to others, and he was one of the top politicians in New York.

As for Mayor Bloomberg, he moved his office into an open place full of desks, and when he saw Ye Dongqing coming over, he asked, "Rushed over so soon, got an idea?"

"Of course there is, you know that I have been picking a suitable plot, thank you for the news, now I want to ask carefully about the planning and positioning of the surrounding area, I have taken a helicopter to see it, and the location is not bad. ”

Ye Dongqing was unrestrained, sitting opposite the founder of Bloomberg News, crossed Erlang's legs, and found a comfortable position to sit.

He remembered what the future would look like, but since the influence has become greater, many things have quietly changed, such as the Mecca tragedy in February, and the bombing in Madrid, Spain in March, Ye Dongqing remembered, but it didn't happen, and he was worried that the land use plan was different from what he imagined, but as Mayor Bloomberg took out a planning map, he felt that his worries were redundant, because it clearly showed the phantom of several buildings.

"That's pretty much it, I'm going to use that land and build a couple of new landmarks to make the Upper West Side thriving again, just like the Upper East Side, surrounded by universities, parks, docks, theaters, malls, and so on, and you don't have to worry about building it in your interests, and I'm going to personally review all the projects that come in, and it has to be cool enough, like the Freedom Tower that's being built, it's a sign of New York's prosperity." ”

Mayor Bloomberg was tired from sitting down, so he stood up and twisted his waist, and continued: "Is your building finished? I wonder if it's cool enough, London is reinventing the banks of the Thames, we're already behind, and I've been told that now rich people like to invest in property in London rather than New York." ”

“...... You're not alluding to anything, I've bought a house in London, but I'm not going to build a high-rise building there, New York is really not very safe, my car badge has been stolen twice, of course, the order is much better now than it was in the nineties, Mr. Bloomberg, your achievements are definitely high!"

Having lived in New York for so long, this old man certainly knows what the law and order situation is, there are too many low-rise residents, there are several slums on Manhattan Island alone, not that they can be changed by changing them, and the fight against crime is already very strong, but it is still repeatedly prohibited, and there is no way to manage it.

After listening to Ye Dongqing, he replied angrily: "Don't pat me on the back, I know that some places are not enough, so you young people should play an exemplary role, I will give you an award at the end of this year, don't be free to get it then, let me make a joke."

Say, which piece of land do you like, these lines are only temporarily drawn, and they can be changed, there is no need to negotiate the price, I know how much you secretly donated to your charitable foundation, I will use this money to improve the surrounding living environment, don't think about discounts......"
