Wall Street Legend

For the next period of time, nothing much happened.

While Ye Dongqing was coordinating the work, he traveled around the San Francisco Bay Area and even went to the Pebble Beach Golf Course in central California to vacation with several celebrities in Silicon Valley.

He traveled between New York and Silicon Valley. When August entered, he helped Zhao Liuli sign up for a Boy Scout activity and accompanied his classmates to participate in a half-month-long field life training near Camp David. American parents like this kind of activity. I think it can enhance children's sense of independence.

After showing his fists for a while, no one has been forcing him to share the cake in recent times. The warning to KKR Group has long been spread in the circle, so that no one does such a thankless thing anymore. , if Ye Dongqing is successfully pushed into a desperate situation, but is kicked off the financing list by him in the end, wouldn't that be making a wedding dress for others?

In addition, Facebook has encountered some resistance to its overseas expansion. The European Union is investigating its information security. People feel that the valuation of 15 billion US dollars does not have much profit prospects.

Affected by the crisis in the past few years, investors have become more cautious. Facebook is indeed profitable, but in their minds it is almost the same as Google. After reaching this kind of valuation, in their minds, it is no longer worth it. Using dirty tricks, enthusiasm dropped a lot.

After a growth period of more than a year, the Nasdaq market has recently returned to calm. The only small climax was the listing of Google. The increase that year was not high, reaching more than 26 billion US dollars. In the next few days, Almost falling below the issue price, Tamsui Investment Group obtained 4% of the shares during the IPO stage because there was no better investment target.

Recently, Tamsui Investment Group has invested a large part of its cash in coffee stocks, medical stocks, and several Internet companies, and has made a new round of investment in Facebook and Whatsapp, giving them money to expand their advertising. market, and also injected one billion US dollars into the branch in China to look for potential stocks worthy of investment.

In the second half of 2004, in the minds of American investors, Huaxia was just a large factory that could make itself profitable. Under the influence of such a general environment, Washington was also paralyzed and naively It is thought that the impact of foreign capital will lead to changes in the social structure of that country. For the time being, only Ye Dongqing knows that it is impossible.

It is difficult to find high-return targets in the United States, so he once again turned his attention to China, mainly focusing on the Internet industry.

According to Ye Dongqing, the big head is in the United States, the small head is in China, and there are some arrangements in Europe. Basically, I am stable for the rest of my life. I mainly spent September in New York. Later, I got bored at home and went to South America. After shopping around Brazil and Argentina, he waited until mid-October when he unexpectedly learned that a piece of land in the Financial District on the west side of Manhattan was for sale with a price of US$1.29 billion. This immediately piqued his interest.

October 16th.

He took a helicopter to inspect the land for sale. New York State is trying to compete with London for the 2012 Summer Olympics and is planning to build a large stadium here. However, due to opposition from New York citizens, the super-rich mayor seems to be wavering recently. I mean, since I called him and said it could be sold, it almost means that the city hall has decided to withdraw from the Olympic bid.

Judging from the development trajectory of its previous life, London did get the right to host the 2012 Summer Olympics as it wished. Now it seems that the plan has changed. Mayor Bloomberg is planning to use this land to build a "city of the future", also since Rockefeller. The largest urban renewal development project in New York City since the Center, it integrates entertainment, leisure and commerce.

Of course, it is impossible to sell a piece of land that is half the size of Manhattan Park to Ye Dongqing. The total area reaches 10.5 hectares. In the plan, a large shopping plaza, a cultural center, and six skyscrapers will be built. The requirement for the new high-rise building plan in the core area of ​​London is that the building is advanced and cool enough to reestablish New York's status as the global financial core area.

According to the super-rich mayor, Manhattan has become old. London has redeveloped more than 40% of its stock of properties since 1985, while New York only has 7%. If this continues, New York will no longer It is the first choice for the headquarters of multinational companies, so this Far West reconstruction plan was created. As the last piece of land in midtown Manhattan that can be developed on a large scale, Hudson Yards is positioned very highly, close to the Hudson on the west side of Manhattan. River, there are several piers next to it.

As a "future person", Ye Dongqing knows that this commercial complex has a high probability of development, and it is very beautiful. They are all new buildings and will not be as crowded as other places. He is definitely excited and can already imagine his own building. What it will look like when it's built, you'll be able to overlook the entire island of Manhattan, and even see all the way to Brooklyn and Queens.

Only a few months have passed, and his mind has become active again. The project design drawings have been completed and construction can begin at any time. As for the funds, he does not need to worry too much. He can get a loan first.

I looked around in the air several times, and the more I looked at it, the more I thought it was very good. Moreover, it is the land owned by the New York City Hall, which means that the tax can be reduced, or the transaction price can be lowered, and it is even possible to negotiate the terms of installment payment, which is better than the last time. The piece of land was much better, big and open.

At this moment, he told the pilot through the microphone: "Okay, fly to the city. I want to go to the city hall to talk to the mayor in person."

The pilot made an OK gesture and arrived at the destination a few minutes later and began to land in the park.

I visited the Southern Hemisphere.

Ye Dongqing was tanned a bit and shaved frequently. Now some stubble can be seen and it has become rough.

Just this year, his net worth first exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars, and now it has exceeded 20 billion U.S. dollars. He has successively invested in more than 30 companies, and the direct management is still the old ones, and the others only provide opinions and supervise their daily operations. operations.

He is indeed on the right track. He only needs to tell Mr. McCord which company he likes, negotiate the price and decide whether to buy it or not. In this way, he will almost use up all the cash on the Tamsui Investment account, leaving only some To keep the company running, otherwise the cash will sit in the account and interest will have to be paid to investors, which is not cost-effective in any way.

As early as the beginning of the year, he felt that this year was a relatively important year. At that time, he had already planned to invest heavily. This move made the entire Wall Street dumbfounded. They did not believe that Ye Dongqing could leapfrog how many years. In this industry, so many potential stocks have been found at the same time, many people are waiting to see the joke...
