Wall Street Legend

People often say that rich people also have three meals a day and are no better than them.

Three meals are fine, but the quality of the food is different. The caviar on the sushi costs $20,000 for a small jar. The tuna meat is cut from a bluefin tuna weighing more than 600 pounds. That's it. A meal for two people cost more than three to three thousand US dollars at the final check, which is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary white-collar worker.

The rich enjoy the best resources in the world, whether it is education, food, medical care, etc. What Ye Dongqing has now is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When others received harassing phone calls, they were just concerned about stocks, investment and financial management, but he was amazing. Just after finishing his meal, he received a call from a company in Dubai asking Ye Dongqing if he was interested in the Dubai World Island project. It is said that U.S. It hasn't been bought yet, and the price is only 41 million US dollars. I usually receive calls from top jewelers, auction houses, and high-end real estate companies, which means that the private number has been spread to a small extent.

He hasn't complained to the telecommunications company yet, because some of the mess is more interesting. Some time ago, Sotheby's auction house recommended Rene Magritte's oil painting The Banquet to him, and it was finally auctioned by Ye Dongqing for 7,000 yuan. I got more than 10,000 US dollars, and recently I am also collecting Pop Art oil paintings by American painter Lichtenstein. This is purely a personal hobby. I have spent nearly 100 million US dollars on three paintings by this artist.

In the words of the accounting firm - if you don’t spend money, do you want to keep it to pay taxes?

Dubai World Island Project.

In 2001, a developer planned to build 300 artificial islands four kilometers off the coast of Dubai, forming an artificial archipelago according to the shapes of the world's continents. The American one was relatively large, so the price was also high.

Ye Dongqing said he was interested, but in fact he knew that it was difficult to sell these small islands. At the same price, you can rent larger and safer islands in the Bahamas, Hawaiian Islands, Southeast Asian waters, Mediterranean waters, etc. , so why buy an island that may be unfinished at any time and risk sinking?

In the previous life, due to the subprime mortgage crisis that swept the world, the World Island project was unfinished. I don't know if it will succeed this time. The seller thought he really wanted to buy it, and even offered to help arrange a hotel for free and let him come and take a look.

He had never been to Dubai, and the private plane was in New York. Ye Dongqing wanted to go there, but he had a small oil bottle at home that he couldn't let go of, so he finally refused.

Being reminded by this incident, the idea of ​​buying an island once again took shape in his mind. Taxes will be due again in March and April. If he doesn't spend some money quickly, considering last year's income, he will definitely have to pay a large amount of money. It is better to buy it again. An island is back for regular vacation use.

Taking into account the relationship with Mahi, and the possibility of successfully obtaining the shares of the Atlantis Hotel in the Bahamas, I don’t have to worry about having a place to stay when I go to the Bahamas for vacation. After much deliberation, I finally chose the Hawaiian Islands, and maybe I can customize a boat. A pretty good yacht.

Wealth is growing explosively. There is no need to deliberately save money. The most important thing for Ye Dongqing today is to be happy. In order to avoid the embarrassment of having money but no life to spend, he recently had his genes tested and the conclusion was that he is relatively healthy. However, you may develop high blood pressure in your forties or fifties, and you must start paying attention to your diet and increase your activity from now on.

After discussing it with Laura, they both felt that Hawaii was pretty good, so on the way home, Ye Dongqing used her mobile phone to check the news about the islands for sale.

…

The Securities and Exchange Commission paid more attention to Ye Dongqing's suggestion. Coupled with the attention from Washington, subprime housing loans were suddenly tightened. The Federal Reserve also played an intervention role and announced another interest rate increase to prevent the risk of real estate overheating. .

Credit rating companies cannot fail. They rely on the global commercial credit system and have announced rectification news. At the urging of the Securities and Exchange Commission, they have revised the ratings of various subprime CDO products. This has caused small-scale turmoil in the market, and the losses have been controlled to a manageable level. Within the acceptable range, it is similar to what the think tanks under Ye Dongqing predicted.

As a result, Ye Dongqing made another fortune through fresh water investment and hedge funds. The amount was not large, about 70 to 80 million U.S. dollars. Then he stopped paying attention to this matter and turned his attention to the oil market. It's about taking a long view and using hedging to reduce risk.

A heavy snowfall has covered New York, and the weather is so cold that people want to escape.

After he made a few calls and inquired about private islands for sale, the high-end real estate circle seemed to be going crazy. Many super agents and real estate companies came to him, including those from Australia, Canada, and Northern Europe. On the other side, good news also came from Southeast Asia and the Bahamas, and I was spoiled for choice.

There was nothing much to do recently, so Ye Dongqing simply went to Fiji. This country is located in the South Pacific near Australia and has relatively good natural scenery. After staying with Laura for two days, he decided to buy an island here, and then went to Greece. Omfori Island was bought for £46 million.

Just when people were amazed that he bought the most expensive island in Greece, news came one after another that Cabbage Island in the Bahamas and Ceralvo Island in the Gulf of California, Mexico were acquired by Ye Dongqing. Immediately, a new real estate company was born. There is news It is said that Ye Dongqing invested in these islands to build them into tourist islands.

For more than half a month, I flew around the world and spent a total of almost 500 million US dollars. It felt very good.

In order to avoid being criticized by ordinary people, a real estate company was established to anchor these islands under the banner of investment. It is better to be accepted by others than telling people that it is for their own vacation enjoyment. Subsequent renovations may cost more. One or two billion US dollars were lost, and some islands even had no water or electricity.

When the renovation is completed, those islands will become more valuable, and small-scale tourist groups can also bring in a certain amount of income, enough to maintain the daily operations of the islands, so it cannot be said to be a loss.

When she was hit by the cold wind in New York again, Ye Dongqing began to miss the good weather in the southern hemisphere. Even on Cerralvo Island, the temperature was much higher than that in New York. The cold air from the north drove south from Canada into the United States. There are no mountains blocking the way to New York. In comparison, Seattle, which is close to the Pacific Ocean, is more livable.

The following days were busy and nothing major happened. He participated in several activities, went to Philadelphia, and also went to Washington. In the blink of an eye, it entered May.

In the early morning of the 22nd at the end of May, long lines formed at the entrance of Apple stores everywhere.

iTouch will go on sale at 8 o'clock. There are only 200,000 units in the world. The next arrival may not be until two weeks later, so many impatient people got up early to buy it.

There are many trial videos on YouTube. Yesterday, Ye Dongqing also posted his experience of using it on Facebook, praising it like a flower...
