Wall Street Legend

Ye Dongqing gave his own quotation.

When it comes to business, there is no reason to say death. In fact, as long as old Bernard Madoff can take out all the money and give it to him for investment, Ye Dongqing will accept it even if the interest is higher. If he invests one day earlier, he will be better off. Making money in one day, he pays more attention to long-term interests.

It's a pity that old Bernard didn't know this. In his opinion, he thought that Tamsui Investment Group was really not short of money now. No one except Ye Dongqing himself knew how big his appetite was. At this moment, he said in a slow tone : "You know my situation, and I also know your difficulties. Otherwise, the annual interest rate will be calculated at 10% for the first three years of investment, and will be reduced to 9% after three years. Let me get through this period." How about the next difficulty?

I am not an ungrateful person. I can help you a lot with my connections. If you have any trouble in the future, feel free to call me. I have some status among the Jewish community. This kind of relationship is far better than the 0.5% of money. More importantly, I will also bear all your subsequent cigar expenses. "

Half joking and half serious.

More than 20 million US dollars does not matter to Ye Dongqing, but to Mr. Bernard Madoff, who is now in desperate situation, it is already a very considerable amount.

The main goal of his visit today was to buy more financial products from Tamsui Investment Group. Otherwise, the funding gap would only get bigger and bigger, which would continue to crush him. There was no turning back. Old Bernard felt that he had to catch Ye Dongqing, a noble man who lacked funds, no matter what...

not far away.

The tall girl named Elizabeth Madoff was standing there holding the old man's clothes.

Her father is a Jew, and her mother is from Norway. Her ancestors also have mixed genes, so that Elizabeth Madoff was born with green eyes, which is rare even in Europe and the United States. She did not understand that Bernard, a wealthy relative, Why did she buy herself a suit of clothes before coming here? She was standing there looking at herself in the mirror. After putting on high heels, her long legs became straighter.

Not every Jew is rich. Her father is just a bank manager. He has had nothing to worry about since he was a child, but he has never worn such expensive clothes that cost more than 40,000 US dollars. Occasionally, he would peek at Ye Dongqing, She couldn't understand how such a young Chinese-American could become a self-made rich man. Even though her family was in Philadelphia, Elizabeth had heard of his deeds.

He had no consciousness of being regarded as a "gift" by old Bernard. Until now, he foolishly thought that he wanted to give him a job, so he brought him here to discuss business. This old man had heard about Ye Dongqing's nightlife and subconsciously thought that he understood it. After seeing him, they are all men, and they have similar thoughts and ideas. He has been here like this before.

Hearing Ye Dongqing say that he would think about it for a few days before giving a reply, Old Bernard finally breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to Elizabeth Madoff with a smile and said: "Her grandma is my sister, she is about to graduate from Brown University, and she is looking for an internship opportunity recently. I think it's best to work at your place. My friends and I are already old and can't teach her much.

Elizabeth, come here. She majors in public policy. What do you think? "

After hearing this, Elizabeth came over and shook hands with Ye Dongqing with a smile on her face. Both parties were confused and didn't understand why the old man came here.

But it's just a job. There are so many people in the company now, but this one is the only one. Ye Dongqing replied: "Of course, you can come to work in my company at any time. If Harvard didn't offer me a job that I couldn't refuse." With the excellent conditions, maybe I will also go to Brown to study.”

It is relatively common for businessmen to go through the back door to help relatives and children find jobs. If they stay under their own hands and are fired due to lack of ability, they will annoy their relatives, but it will make them uncomfortable to keep them. Ye Dongqing thought differently and thought that Old Bernard I thought so too.

There are many beautiful girls around me, and there are countless in high-end parties. Recently, I have almost become immune to beautiful women. At the moment, I feel that they are more eye-catching, but I haven't reached the point of being attracted by them yet.

*********

Assistant William was invited to come over and take Elizabeth Madoff to do a simple registration. Ye Dongqing chatted with Bernard in the office. The topic mainly focused on the history of the creation of Nasdaq and the Internet explosion period in the 1990s. It's quite interesting.

When he left, the next group of guests also came in. The two main members of the North American Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the CEO of East West Bank, and the president Jack Chen also came.

Old Bernard praised Ye Dongqing to Elizabeth and told her to contact her as much as possible. When Ye Dongqing was shaking hands with two new guests, the box of cigars that had not been put away came in handy, and each of them was given one.

In fact, Ye Dongqing prefers to talk to white people than to contact his compatriots. He is straightforward and says what he means directly. There is no need to guess the meaning behind each sentence, and there are not so many compliments and etiquette that make both parties embarrassed. .

He moved to sit down on the sofa in the office, and after exchanging pleasantries, he cut to the chase and said, "My assistant told me that I had won the award? It's really surprising that I didn't receive any news about this in advance."

"Yes, we called last year's Highest Achievement Award for Chinese Americans, but we learned that you traveled to Hawaii and held a small event, so we didn't necessarily ask you to come forward. After I knew you returned to New York, I dragged this person Friends came over together and talked about business matters by the way." Jack Chen said.

The two people in front of me are both worth over 100 million U.S. dollars, especially the CEO of East West Bank, Wu Jianmin, who is very influential in the Chinese American community. When Ye Dongqing first started his business, he even considered taking a loan from this bank, but later gave up on his own initiative. Because the difficulty will be overcome quickly and there is no need to borrow such a small amount of money.

As the most successful bank opened by Chinese in the United States, with the rise of the big country on the other side of the Pacific, business transactions have increased. Now it manages tens of billions of dollars in assets. In the 1990s, it only had a few hundred million dollars. It has successively acquired many Banks were merged together to form the current scale.

They formed a group to visit, which made Ye Dongqing feel that things were not that simple.

Sure enough, while we were chatting, Mr. Wu Jianmin asked, "Xiaoye, you haven't opened an account at our East West Bank, right? Recently we have a discount for large customers, with transaction fees and other exemptions, and there is also a club. , golf courses, airport transfers, free hotel stays and other high-end services. If you want to invest, we can also help manage assets.”

Ye Dongqing couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Now he mainly cooperates with Citigroup and Morgan. The handling fees are not important. The main thing is that they are more influential and can help with many things. He pointed to the company sign outside the window: "We are a fund. Investment companies have very little cash on their books and don’t need many loan services. I will learn about it when I have the opportunity in the future, but I won’t use it for the time being..."
