Wall Street Legend

Ye Dongqing tried it, and two months was the limit. Going to class, doing homework, etc. was really not the life he liked.

After experiencing a boring and boring study life, he went to London for a week's vacation, and then went to Silicon Valley before returning to Harvard to take the exam.

Nothing major happened, and in the blink of an eye it was December 2003, Christmas Eve.

Looking back at the whole year at the end of the year, the gains are undoubtedly very huge. After experiencing the surge in wealth in the first half of the year, business is also very good in the second half of the year, and the total wealth continues to climb to new peaks one after another.

Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Today is December 21st. A group of people came to Ye Dongqing’s house. They installed various equipment in the bag and equipped him with a microphone. Mr. Tom Kitt, a reporter from Forbes magazine, was Sitting opposite him, he said:

Let me make it clear to you before the formal interview. Your name will appear in the next three lists: the Global Rich List, the Global Chinese Rich List, and the American Celebrity List. There will also be some less important lists. , if you are willing to tell us your accurate wealth, which may lead to changes in the rankings, I want to know if you are willing to publish it?

...I can understand the first two lists, but the American celebrity list?

Ye Dongqing just changed her hair style last month, a slicked-back style, which is relatively trendy. In the morning, in order to receive this interview, she even called the stylist to blow-dry her hair.

At the moment, he is wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and a thin black tie that matches his temperament. After being away from home for a long time, three arowanas have been hung up. The reason is that the heating was not turned on in time after winter, and the temperature was too low, so that the aquarium in the living room A lot of emptiness.

Reporter Tom Kit nodded and replied: Yes, you have become more and more influential among young people this year. We have randomly distributed a thousand questionnaires, and 19.1% of them College students say they know you, and your name will be included in the list, but the ranking will not be too high. After all, the exposure cannot be compared with celebrities, and you don’t like to show up in public.”

Then I should work harder. Before I decide whether to announce the specific wealth, you first tell me what your estimated number is?

It's almost 6 billion US dollars, including the two Internet companies Facebook and Skype, as well as the stocks invested under the name of Danshui Investment Group, etc. We have investigated public data and it is relatively easy to estimate.

Facebook's global number of registered users has almost exceeded 150 million. As one of the most successful startups in 2003, Facebook's valuation soared to about US$4 billion. It not only performs well in the United States, but also in other countries. The country has also occupied a lot of market share. Canada and Australia alone have more than 7 million people combined, and the UK has over 10 million people.

Valuation is valuation, and it is difficult to say the actual value for the time being. Forbes only listed a rough number. After all, until now, Ye Dongqing is still unwilling to accept any financing. There have been many lawsuits over this. Some people are Putting pressure on him.

Not that much. To be honest, I don't know exactly how much money I have. I know everything I need to know. There is nothing to announce, just some real estate.

By the way, did you include the Internet company I invested in in China?

Well... the list is in the information. Your shares are worth almost 100 million US dollars, right?

That's alright, let's start the formal interview. Just say whatever you want to ask...

Someone was taking pictures. Ye Dongqing was sitting after fastening her buttons. Zhao Liuli was hiding behind the wall and poking her head. She had recently gone on winter vacation. After keeping up with her nutrition, she was much taller than when she was brought back, but she was still just Just a little girl.

Reporter Tom Kit opened his book and took out his pen, saying: Okay, let's get started. The first question is about Tamsui Investment Group. What do you think of the stock price rise since the second half of this year? We know You are Apple’s largest shareholder, and at this time last year, you had just begun to pay attention to Apple. What made you take a fancy to this company and have a hunch that it is worth investing in?”

Apple's performance on the Nasdaq market has been very good in recent months. From the beginning of the year to now, the stock price has increased by about 32%. The outbreak period was concentrated after the launch of iTunes, which led to a surge in iPod sales.

App-Store was also launched in the past few months and has received high recognition. Many programs run more smoothly under the OS system, especially some games and office programs. After Ye Dongqing’s guidance, two models were launched last month and will be launched in the OS system. The concept products to be launched next year, iMac all-in-one computer and Macbook-Pro performance notebook computer, are made of aluminum alloy and are full of technology.

Putting aside the performance, the appearance has won great recognition among potential user groups. Ye Dongqing also suggested that Jobs put aside old grudges and spend a lot of money to obtain the right to use Microsoft Office system in an attempt to achieve compatibility with Apple's original products. These are the main reasons for pushing up Apple's stock price.

Its success is normal. Apple was doing very well before I invested, but later it just got back on track. Apple has its own operating system, its own R\u0026D laboratory, its own sales channels and production plants, and patents Reserves also rank among the top among Silicon Valley companies.

I see its potential, and I have some ideas of my own, and I need a company like this to help me realize them. CEO Mr. Steve Jobs and COO Mr. Tim Cook are both very capable managers. They support my idea. It's not a success yet. In my opinion, it's more of a humble beginning. There's a lot to do next. The board members are on my side. We believe it will become more and more successful. .

Same question, what about Amazon? Your shareholding ratio in this company has reached 11.7%, and it has also brought you high returns this year. My colleague interviewed Jeff Bay South, who remains upbeat on fourth-quarter earnings, could fuel further gains in the stock price.

Amazon has far fewer problems than Apple. I believe Mr. Bezos can handle it and he has a healthy development mindset.

In my opinion, this is an online Wal-Mart, which is more convenient than Wal-Mart and has a richer product range. If there is an opportunity, I will continue to increase my holdings.

It is no exaggeration to say that if any major shareholder is willing to sell, I will accept as many shares as the premium is within 20%. You can add this sentence as an advertisement...
