Chapter 145: Bloomberg (1/4)
Modesty only belongs to the super-rich who are not short of fame, and before they are truly famous, if they want to gain the respect of the upper class, they just need to show off and show off.
If you don't attract the attention and recognition of others, who knows who you are? How do you make friends? Money is more than just a phrase.
Ye Dongqing is Chinese, he knows that if he wants to squeeze into the upper circle of the United States, he must work harder than others, the importance of the network is needless to say, the last time the Securities and Exchange Commission was ready to punish him heavily, and Ms. Johnson just said hello, and the other party gave up the investigation lightly, which is a proof of strength and connections.
Since he is in business in the United States, he has to deal with those guys, so he won't miss any high-end parties in the near future, and it is necessary to quickly manage his network, maybe he can help him in the future......
Dressed in a close-fitting cosy black suit and handcrafted from crocodile skin, the shoes on the feet are naturally textured, and this ferocious animal is about to flood the southern part of the United States, with millions of them in Florida alone, and only extreme animal protectors care about them.
Laura was wearing a backless evening dress, and there was originally a coat outside, which was handed over to the hotel waiter to help store before entering the venue, and she didn't know how to tie her hair, and she didn't have time to do a hairstyle, and at the moment her slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders, just over her shoulders.
She held Ye Dongqing, if she said that the last time she came to a party of this level, she would still be weak, at this moment, as Ye Dongqing's wealth continues to skyrocket, and after a long time of contact with this new billionaire, Laura no longer thinks it is a big deal, they are just normal human beings.
Little Edward caught a glimpse of Ye Dongqing's figure, he didn't intend to let go of the opportunity to ridicule, and asked loudly: "Crude oil will soon exceed forty dollars a barrel, if you hold the order at that time until now, you can earn nearly four hundred million dollars more, it should be difficult to fall asleep recently, right?"
The people next to him all had smiles on their faces, full of schadenfreude, it seemed that little Edward had already told them how Ye Dongqing had perfectly missed a wave of rising periods, and how much money he had lost.
"Laugh at me when you put your profits in your pocket, when in fact I just sold $800 million worth of crude oil futures orders and waited to pay them back with the least amount of money in the near future.
That's right, I've turned bearish on oil prices, for the sake of you helping me earn more than $40 million, I advise you to stop, in case my suggestion proves to be correct, just give me $10 million in consulting fees, otherwise you may give back hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. ”
Ye Dongqing walked as he spoke, without the slightest idea of chatting with Little Edward, and spoke quite loudly, deliberately letting the people around him hear.
A middle-aged Jew standing not far away whispered to a friend: "Is it possible that young people are so powerful now, and the profits are calculated in hundreds of millions?" I know the fat man of Johnson's family, but who is that young Chinese?"
There were a few people standing next to him, and a guy in the know said: "A high school student who is not in the stream, he has made a lot of money on his own, I have heard others tell me, his story has been in the New York Times, it is said that he has recently made a lot of money through crude oil futures, and he is a billionaire." ”
"My son has mentioned him to me, and he has been using a program that has been used by many universities recently, and my son is very optimistic about the investment potential, but unfortunately he is not willing to accept financing. ”
"I really don't want to accept financing, I heard that Bill Gates's family office waterfall investment, all want to invest in that Internet company, and the growth speed is simply amazing to me......"
Hearing these fragmentary news, the middle-aged Jewish man showed a sudden expression, causing Ye Dongqing's status in his mind to rise a lot in an instant, in the field of crude oil futures and the Internet, it is already very good for ordinary people to make achievements in one aspect.
His worth has skyrocketed, and Ye Dongqing also has the confidence to socialize everywhere.
The guests at the scene are generally over 35 years old, and there are many gray-haired old men and old women.
Looking at the audience, except for Laura, who was standing next to him, it was estimated that he was the youngest.
At this time, seeing a celebrity in the crowd, Ye Dongqing took a glass of champagne and walked over, and said to the tall man in front of him who was standing with many guests beside him: "It's an honor to meet you with my own eyes, Mayor Bloomberg, my name is Leo Ye, the founder of Freshwater Investment Group and the Internet company Facebook. ”
"I know who you are, I've seen the newspaper, my old friend Nash mentioned you, he's your teacher, right?"
"That's right, Mr. Nash taught me math, and he wanted to help me get a letter of recommendation for you, and I am very grateful to him. ”
"Nash's a nice guy and I haven't been in touch much lately, but I've been friends with him since I was a kid, and I still am. I'm sure that a brilliant young man like you, no matter which university is vying to admit you, doesn't need my letter of recommendation anymore. Mayor Bloomberg said.
The current mayor of New York is quite famous, because he was a super-rich man worth more than 10 billion yuan before he became mayor, and money has become a complete number for Mr. Bloomberg, receiving only one dollar a year from City Hall, and commuting by subway, which is relatively easy to get along with.
Ye Dongqing really wanted to ask him to help Laura write a letter of recommendation, if he could get a letter of recommendation from Mayor Bloomberg, almost all American universities would no longer refuse to let Laura, who had a stain on her body, enroll, no one would underestimate the mayor of New York, let alone choose to offend an overdue rich man because of this little thing.
It's a pity that the two don't have a deep friendship, and this occasion is not suitable for talking about that kind of thing, just chat a few words and brush his face, he will say goodbye and no longer disturb their conversation.
The time has entered March, and in another month or two, all American colleges and universities will start accepting applications, and Laura's matter Ye Dongqing has not helped to solve it, Ye Dongqing has always remembered it.
Lack of introductions, it's hard to fit in, and in the end it's too little to socialize, and it's only the second time in a few months that tonight has a chat with a senior partner at Goldman Sachs, and then he pulls a cigar out of his breast pocket and takes Laura to the hallway to rest for a while.
Spat out a large mouthful of white mist, he asked Laura, "It's a boring party, right, when I'm a little more powerful and richer than Mr. Bloomberg, those women will just compete to make friends with you, and now they have a little circle, and they may have known each other for a long time, so you'll be bored." ”
Laura wanted to say that she would rely on her own efforts to gain recognition, but the idea went round and round in her head, and she was rejected by herself first.
There is no confidence that he can succeed, and there is still some hope for an annual salary of two or three hundred thousand dollars, no matter how high it is......
