Wall Street Legend

Think of this.

Ye Dongqing changed the subject and lowered his voice: Tell me, did you hide a sum of money in a small vault before you were imprisoned? You were a big help to me back then. Don't worry, I won't force you to pay back the money. Tell me the truth, maybe I can help you make a fortune, you should know that I have this ability.

When old Bernard heard this, he was furious: How is that possible! I'm not that kind of person!

He blurted out, and immediately thought that he had even played a Ponzi scheme, which seemed unconvincing. Looking at Ye Dongqing's eyes again, his eyes were full of disbelief.

Logically speaking, old Bernard had already gone bankrupt when the incident was revealed. Ye Dongqing helped him pay back the money and asked the old man to sign an excessive loan agreement. All the money should be returned to Ye Dongqing, but at that time the old man No one could figure out whether the money was hidden or not, and the accounts were so messed up that it was difficult to calculate the losses.

Don't get excited, do you think I am a man who is short of money?

I admire your money-loving character and your business skills. Seriously, tell me the truth. I don’t want it from you. If I find out that you have money to invest in private or that your expenses are not up to standard, it will be difficult to tell. .

This issue has been in Ye Dongqing's mind for a long time. He may not care about the foreign debts, but he doesn't want to be kept in the dark by this old man like a fool. At this moment, he is half joking and half serious, which is enough to make old Bernard feel the pressure.

Don't take the money? Are you serious?

It's not that I don't want it, it's that I don't want it for the time being. If you can spare some capital, I can teach you how to invest it, and then return it to me after earning the money, either ten or fifteen years later. The interest will be calculated according to national debt standards.

To put it bluntly, it’s hard to say how much time you have left at your age, and you don’t want to live an ordinary life in the future. If you don’t tell the truth, I will really send someone to keep an eye on all the expenses of you and your family, and make you Having money is the same as having no money.

Ye Dongqing was a creditor, and he was not polite because Bernard was old. He didn't believe that after raising so much money, the old man would not dig more holes like a rabbit as an escape route. He originally reviewed his company. The auditor also told him that some of the accounts did not match up.

With a sad look on his face, the old Jewish man wanted to continue to be tough, but after thinking about it, he felt it was unnecessary. He was being pinched. If Ye Dongqing wanted to play with him, there was no possibility of escape.

Thinking that Ye Dongqing really knew something, he whispered: I am old and my memory is not very good. Maybe I have bought a few pieces of art and put them in a safe in a certain bank, but you must write permission. My guarantee to delay repayment, I can only remember where they are hidden.”

...You really hid the money, is that all?

I swear to God, it's true!

I don't believe it, but you can do whatever you want. I'm writing an agreement now. You are not allowed to make it public. Take the things out. If you like them, I will spend money to buy them. If not, I will take them to auction and cash out.

Ye Dongqing did not go back on his promise. He was indeed prepared to give the old man some investment advice until the other party returned the money to him.

No reason, just because I like it.

When the incident happened, he stepped forward and helped old Bernard repay the money, which created a wave of goodwill in the business circle. His credibility is now so good that it is terrifying. If he goes back to step on this old man again, it will inevitably make people feel that Adding insult to injury, although old Bernard deserved it.

What's more, when he helped pay back the money, he was treated as a fool by many people. It would be so inspiring if old Bernard paid back the money again. He is simply a model of the old man's return to the prodigal son.

Power is when we are bored and manipulates other people's lives. For him, this is more interesting than online games. To use the lines from Schindler's List - power is when we have enough reasons to Killing, but not doing that.

On the other hand, helping old Bernard can help him gain favor from the Jewish community. In the upper class of America, this is a relatively important thing...

The old man took the letter of guarantee written by Ye Dongqing himself and left. It was said that he was going on a long trip. No one except him knew where the several pieces of art that were easy to hide were placed. He agreed to bring them to Ye Dongqing tomorrow. Take a look.

Now that he has reached his position, he can increasingly feel the influence from Washington. It is only a positive influence. Ye Dongqing maintains a relatively good relationship with the senior officials.

There is no need to get involved too deeply. Money is king in the United States. As long as you maintain a neutral stance, the two factions will only win over him and not easily offend him. Offending a little guy who has broad influence among young people is no different. So before giving the votes to the other party with his own hands, he had the strength not to choose any camp.

The second-ranked boss personally called Ye Dongqing to invite Ye Dongqing to attend his son's wedding. He had no choice but to agree. He happened to have something to talk to over there, some legislative issues related to Internet security. In recent years, The rate of cybercrime continues to rise in recent years, which is not a good thing for these businessmen who invest in the Internet, and they need to be cracked down more severely.

…

When he first returned to this era, Ye Dongqing thought about quitting smoking.

Later, I often smoked cigars, and because I felt life was boring, I became addicted to it over and over again.

Some people spend money smoking, and some people can make money by smoking. He is the type of person who can make money. Last year, he was asked to develop a product that reduces the harm of smoking by heating shredded tobacco. By the way, he also developed an electronic device that is less harmful to the body. Cigarettes, affiliated to the Charitable Trust.

After giving the instructions, he forgot about it in a blink of an eye. Unexpectedly, it was successfully promoted after it was launched, and even attracted the attention of the parent company of Marlboro.

When he received the call to discuss the acquisition, he was confused for a while, wondering if he had found the wrong person. After asking, he found out that it was really his company, and the two products had been on sale for more than two months.

Philip Morris Group, the parent company of Marlboro, is willing to acquire these two products, as well as the brand and technology, for US$90 million in cash. The overall investment is only more than US$3 million. Currently, they are only sold on Amazon online mall. Ye Dongqing thought I thought about rejecting the other party's proposal. I felt that there was a market for it, and I was worried about ruining the reputation of my charitable foundation. I immediately decided to set up an overseas leather bag company and spin it off to increase promotion efforts.

If you can quit smoking, don't learn to smoke. It won't do any good to your body. But for those who are already addicted, it is also a good thing to have a less harmful product if they can't quit. It can at least reduce some of the harm. He doesn't think it's a big problem to make this kind of money, as long as it doesn't have anything to do with him.

What an unexpected surprise.

It’s no wonder that some people often say that rich people get richer. Without money to invest, there are no opportunities. However, he made more than 30 times the profit by doing whatever he wanted. If the market could be bigger, he could probably make even more. , the smoker market is not small.

Over the years of smoking control in the United States, the incidence of lung cancer has been much lower. Compared with other developing countries, Americans have a higher cancer survival rate. In addition to advanced medical technology, it is also because many people have regular check-ups and early detection. Discovery and early treatment made Ye Dongqing think of another market, professional medical examination institutions, which do not provide treatment, but are only responsible for examination...
