Wall Street Legend

With Tamsui Fund Company and Ye Dongqing's personal credit standing as guarantees, Oracle would not even deny them temporary credit. The prerequisite was that they could prove that they could get the balance payment by then.

The commercial credit system in the United States is based on a sound legal system. Since the cost of breaking the law is high, and there are no strange hidden rules such as "pay first, then deliver goods" or "settlement at the end of the year", corporate risks are relatively small. , when doing business in the United States, you don’t need to worry too much about being cheated. Even if you can’t clear the money and goods immediately, you must have a high deposit.

This is one of the foundations of prosperous business in the United States. It attaches great importance to the issue of corporate reputation. Once it is finished, the company is almost finished.

Alfred House first went to explain the situation to the people at Oracle. He only said that he would pay the deposit first and pay the rest when the delivery was made. Anyway, the manufacturing cycle was about three months, so he would be able to collect the money by then. .

There is no suitable promotion channel, which makes the number of Facebook users grow very slowly. More than ten days have passed since the product interview, and the number of registered users has barely exceeded 20,000. Advertising and promotion arrangements must be put on the agenda, Ye Dongqing There aren't many good ways. In the early stage, you can only throw money into it.

Asking celebrities to do promotions and the like should wait until the scale is a little bigger before we talk about it, otherwise who knows what it is?

Ye Dongqing wanted to attract traffic from Amazon, but this was unrealistic. He just invested in Amazon and it was not his own company. He could just dream about it and not really plan to contact Mr. Jeff Bezos, at least in the future. Not until Facebook gets bigger.

Building an Internet company requires money everywhere, which forces Ye Dongqing to work hard to make money and constantly fill the gaps. Otherwise, it will be difficult to promote this product smoothly.

Development speed is also very important. In order not to leave time for other people and other companies to react and seize the market, they must be the first to promote the product and bind the first batch of users.

It's easy to say, but it's not that simple. Just the money issue has already made Ye Dongqing very embarrassed. At that time, he only had a few dozen dollars in his pocket and felt that the money was not enough. Now that he has a net worth of tens of millions, he feels that it is even more insufficient.

There are only so many employees at Freshwater Fund Company.

When they learned that they were moving to a new headquarters with a better location and larger office area, some people were happy and some were worried. The reason for the worry was simply that it was far away from the house they rented, and the rent in Midtown was also more expensive, which meant If you don’t spend more money to change your house, you will have to commute back and forth to work every day.

There is also good news. The company is willing to subsidize part of the rent, which is not too high. Some employees have already begun to discuss sharing rent in small groups, trying to find as many people as possible to share the rent, such as sofas, bunk beds, etc. It's not like there's no place to shelter from the wind and rain.

There are also people who don't plan to move and are ready to ride a bicycle or take the subway every day. The famous "Billionaire's Row" is in midtown Manhattan. This name is enough to dissuade them from the idea of ​​renting nearby.

Not to mention ordinary employees, even the small management of Tamsui Fund felt that the houses in that area were simply unrentable. They couldn't spend 60 to 70 percent of their monthly salary on houses. Wouldn't that be a waste of money? The landlord is at work.

I am worried, no one said that Midtown is not as good as Wall Street. It is well known that the environment and location are better there. Wall Street, with its narrow streets, has been unable to retain people in recent years. It is impossible to change jobs. Now the work is easy and the year-end bonus is large. , after the expansion, all of them are old employees, and the opportunities for promotion and salary increase are right in front of them.

There are many more opportunities for promotion in new companies than in established old companies. Just a little hope is enough for them to choose to continue working. Look at the scale of development. How can such an outstanding company be so easy to find?

After finalizing a few things, Ye Dongqing took the time to go to the bookstore and select books on futures, currency, leverage, financial analysis and other types that suit him. After buying them, he packed them and put them in the car, preparing to put them next to his bed every time. One copy, read it when you have time.

He hadn't avenged Laura yet. After getting into the car, he called to check the number, contacted the employees of the New York Department of Taxation, and reported Mr. Johnson's illegal activities. He only said that he suspected that he was evading taxes and running an illegal business. What happened next? He doesn't need to worry about the matter. Don't doubt the ability of the investigators from the Federal Taxation Bureau. Ye Dongqing has dealt with them countless times and has a deep understanding of this.

You can't do good deeds without leaving your name. As soon as I hung up, I called Laura and told her what happened. Both of them deliberately ignored one topic, about entering college. Laura was obsessed with school. But because you have a criminal record, it is probably difficult to get admitted to a top school in the United States.

Ye Dongqing happily decided to go out for dinner tonight. Ye Dongqing chose a restaurant nearby and asked Laura to take the girl over in a taxi. As soon as he started the car, his phone rang. He thought it was Kanike or Alfred reporting the progress. See There was an unfamiliar number on the screen. After he answered it, he put the phone to his ear and said, "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello Mr. Ye, this is the VIP service department of Citi Credit Card. My name is Bruce.

Sorry to disturb you, today we were notified that Rolls-Royce, a brand owned by the German BMW Group, released a high-end handmade sedan called Phantom on the 1st. Do you have any thoughts on it? In addition, the Fishers Island Club in New York is open for use again after renovation. We provide you with a two-year membership for free. If you want to play golf or go on vacation, just call the number on your credit card. "

Of course I knew about the Phantom, but I didn't expect it had just been released. Ye Dongqing didn't even think about it and said: "That new Rolls-Royce car, help me order one. The sooner I can get it, the better. Please help me arrange the order forward." .”

"Okay sir, but have you understood it? I'm worried that you won't like it in the future. How about leaving an address and asking someone from this company to come and talk to you personally about designing the car?"

"OK, if you are free tomorrow morning, come directly to my company. The address is Building 2 on Wall Street."

Ordinary people never receive sales calls from Rolls-Royce, because they don’t think that most people can afford it. Ye Dongqing is definitely qualified. Now he only recommends cars and golf clubs until his deposit exceeds 50 million. After US dollars, you can still receive calls from companies such as Gulfstream Aerospace and Bombardier Aircraft Company. Different worths will face different promotional advertisements. Resorts and top-level apartments will also be promoted, specifically targeting high-end people.

The new house comes with its own parking spaces, with five parking spaces. Someone just called to ask. He continued: "By the way, find a way to help me buy a Ferrari Enzo and customize a Bugatti supercar. The deposit starts from It will be deducted from my credit card limit, OK?"

"I will contact you now, sir. Please wait patiently for a while. I will contact you again after completion."

The operator was extremely calm. As a VIP user specialist of Citi, he had seen things like buying airplanes, islands, and entire hotels. How could he be frightened by these three cars?

Some time ago, a certain super-rich man even called and asked for a star by name. The price given was a bit scary. It would be difficult to earn even if he made five movies. In the end, he didn't even help him.

I'm watching "I'm Really Immortal" recently. If you like it, you can check it out. It's quite interesting.
