Wall Street Legend

Chapter 251 Chores (44)

After all, she was still a young girl who had just entered society, otherwise Laura's guilt would not be so deep. She wanted to pretend that nothing happened, but unfortunately the memory always reminded her.

The matter is not over yet, but the follow-up is already a few months later, so let’s not talk about it for now.

The decoration company called Ye Dongqing and told him that the island on Changdao has entered the final work and is expected to be completed in another month. The renovation and maintenance of the main building have been completed. If he is willing, he can complete it in the next few days. After moving in, the various materials used during decoration are relatively environmentally friendly. You don't need to worry too much about formaldehyde and other issues. Ventilating the house in a few days is enough. The housekeeper and maids are trying to complete the cleaning work.

A total of more than 40 million US dollars was invested in decoration. The money and manpower spent on an entire island must not be much less. In order to give herself a sense of surprise, Ye Dongqing has not visited it recently.

In recent days, I have been trapped by things in Silicon Valley. I also have no time to go back and read. Some uncertainties can only be communicated through phone calls and emails, such as the purchase of sculptures, etc., all from a small businessman in New York. Handmade by a famous sculptor and made of natural stone, it can be stored for hundreds of years without worrying about natural damage and other problems.

This phone call reminded Ye Dongqing that he was so busy that he forgot to tell him about the Cobra Building. He should ask an architectural design firm to help with planning in the near future. Land purchase and other matters must also be put on the agenda. Considering the sufficient capital flow of Tamsui Investment Group In this situation, it is not a problem to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a skyscraper, not to mention that the money to build a building does not have to be paid out in one go. The construction period may be as long as four to five years. By then, Ye Dongqing feels that he will probably become If you get richer, you might even become the richest man in the world or something. This is very possible.

In addition, Ye Dongqing also felt that he should purchase a helicopter. He lay in the hotel room and thought about it for a few seconds. He felt that one might not be enough. He called Assistant William to help investigate the market conditions of various helicopters. Finally, It's the kind that's very comfortable, makes very little noise, and is extremely safe.

You can take a boat to Manhattan from that island, and you can actually buy a big yacht, but he thinks it may be of no use for the time being. The money is not too much to spend. The debt problem of Tamsui Investment Group still exists. If you have money, try your best. It is better to pay it back to the investors first, so as not to have to pay them additional interest.

Looking at it from another angle, paying interest to these people is also beneficial. It is like spending money to tie them onto the carriage. Take Mr. Bernard Madoff as an example. Once Ye Dongqing really encounters a problem, he will probably risk his life. He will do his best to help, but his fortune and life all depend on Tamsui Investment Group.

The "small goal" of 20 billion U.S. dollars will soon be achieved. Even the Manhattan City Bank recently approached Mr. McCord and tried to invest the entire 2 billion U.S. dollars in the Fresh Water Fund. Recently, the amount of investable money on hand has been increasing day by day. Increase, how to spend them has become a more difficult problem. You can't all invest in the crude oil futures market. Ye Dongqing is not as courageous yet. The best investment target is still the IT industry, mainly concentrated in the upstream of R\u0026D and manufacturing. At this stage, the investment targets are relatively wide, but whether other shareholders are willing to sell is another matter.

In the past few days, he sent people to contact Masayoshi Son of SoftBank and raised the price to 110 million US dollars. The other party was still unwilling to sell Alibaba shares to him, so he could only pin his hopes on the next round of financing. , has no intention of giving up yet, but judging from the news Ye Dongqing received, it is estimated that the possibility of success is unlikely. Sun Zhengyi has already seen the development potential of Alibaba through Taobao. If it was before Taobao was listed , maybe there is still some hope, finally invested in a relatively good company, no angel investors are willing to pick the fruits before they are ripe.

It is impossible for Ye Dongqing to finish all the business. Although it is a pity, there is nothing that can be changed. Jack Ma is also not prepared to sell shares. The reason is that as the financing is diluted, he hopes to be able to win the next round of financing. According to Jack Ma, there are no plans to sell shares until Alibaba goes public. Fortunately, Ye Dongqing can still invest in other places, such as the Android operating system that is likely to appear this year. If it does not appear, he can also find someone to develop an operating system similar to Android. Anyway, there will be no shortage of opportunities to make money.

Exhausted by all kinds of trivial matters, FB did not let Ye Dongqing worry. As the market expanded, this program encountered official censorship in many countries. In the United States, Don’t worry anymore, how to successfully penetrate into other countries has become a problem that has to be solved. Not only do you need to solve the troubles originating from the authorities, but you also have to make small changes to the program based on the usage habits of different regions.

He also has to worry about security supervision, internal review and other aspects. He paid more attention to this aspect before, but Ye Dongqing always felt that the intensity was still not enough. Last night, the program was attacked by hackers and a loophole was exploited, which directly caused the server to almost paralyze. The company The person worked all night to solve the problem and call out the data from the backup server. The problem was not big, but he found it very annoying.

Isn't it like this to start a company? How can you make so much money? Apple also didn't let Ye Dongqing worry. In the new round of voting, supporters and opponents ended up in a tie. A total of four directors opposed Ye Dongqing. Tom Cook served as the interim CEO, and Bill Campbell Sr. played a big role in it. He finally decided to have a fight with Ye Dongqing, not wanting to give in so easily.

There are many companies and many things to do. Ye Dongqing did not have much patience when dealing with this trouble. At this time, his tone was slightly irritable: "Mr. Jobs, you have seen it yourself. This is them declaring war on me and you. I I don’t think it will help the company’s development if this continues in the future.

I have contacted the lobbying firm on K Street, and they will help contact other shareholders who feel that the company has problems like me. Maybe I will also receive an interview, and I am finalizing the meeting time with Bloomberg News. Other shareholders I will realize that the current system of the board of directors is an obstacle that causes the company's decision-making to lag behind. I will request that the entire board of directors be replaced and the next director be re-elected in accordance with the wishes of the shareholders. "

This was what Jobs was most worried about, and he didn't want to get it to this point. However, Mr. Campbell was indeed a bit aggressive. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure out why this independent director insisted on talking to Ye Dongqing. A major shareholder went against it.

Everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is useless to say it again. Jobs offered a compromise solution, but still wanted to minimize the big problem. He told him over the phone: "I have sought the doctor's opinion, and I will take a conservative approach next." treatment, so maybe we don’t have to argue about the interim CEO anymore..."
