Wall Street Legend

Chapter 159 Tell your interesting story (23)

The success of the Tamsui Fund made Ye Dongqing somewhat famous, especially after several newspapers added fuel to the fire, making many people aware that there was such a young Chinese-American in New York.

What really made him famous was Facebook, which not only made many ordinary people aware of him, but also allowed Ye Dongqing to successfully break into the eyes of many interested people, such as potential investors who had funds in their hands and were optimistic about it.

the reason is simple.

Tamsui Fund Company made too much money, and that was Ye Dongqing's own money. However, the increasingly popular Facebook company allowed them to see the potential for investment appreciation.

It started more smoothly than Google. It has reached its current scale in just over four months. People with vision think it will be the next Google, or Yahoo, Amazon, etc. Recently, many people have Tried to contact Ye Dongqing, such as Edward Jr., who was willing to raise funds at a valuation of US$300 million, but was still rejected by Ye Dongqing.

Richard Rockefeller also recognized Ye Dongqing because of Facebook. This guy just became a registered user a few days ago and quickly fell in love with this new social program. Then he began to think about whether he could raise funds and get a share of the pie. The problem.

Judging from the current situation, it is certain that Facebook will be more successful. It can be seen from such a high user usage ratio and new user growth rate. The only focus that needs to be paid attention to is how high it can grow in the future.

Unlike the old antiques in his family who had outdated ideas, Richard Rockefeller was still young and more receptive to new things. It happened that a large sum of money was lying in his account. After hesitating for a moment, he wiped his mouth and stood up. He walked up to Ye Dongqing and said hello: "Hi, Leo Ye, right, the founder of Facebook? I just became a user of Facebook not long ago, and I saw your photo. I don't know why, but it seemed that I followed you automatically."

"Wow, I'm sorry. In order for new users to adapt to it quickly, someone in the company felt it was necessary to push some people to new users to help them learn how to operate. This suddenly increased the number of fans following me by hundreds. Ten thousand."

Ye Dongqing stretched out his hand and said with a smile, he was worried about some weird user who came here to blame him, "I will be working with a bunch of celebrities next, so it will be strange for me to be included in the push list, but currently my account does have the most fans. , and occasionally use it to send some operational and improvement news.”

After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He seemed to have talked too much. This might be because he had been holding back his nerves recently. The apartment in Puchuan Building had so many rooms, but apart from him there were only bodyguards, housekeepers, nannies, etc. people.

Richard smiled, pointed to the empty chair opposite and said, "I hope you don't mind that I sit here and haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Richard Rockefeller. You don't need to ask. I am the Rockefeller from Rockefeller Center. Almost everyone asks me this question when they first meet me, so why not keep it simple.”

His tone was a little helpless, but the name "Rockefeller" is so legendary in the United States. It can be said to be the representative of the consortium era of the last century. Until the 21st century, Ye Dongqing still felt the need to look up to this name. After all, in For most of the twentieth century, "Rockefeller" was synonymous with "American wealth and power," and the family held a pivotal position in the United States.

Of course, the strength of the Rockefeller family has been rapidly weakened. Back then, John D. Rockefeller was extremely wealthy. The assets he left behind have supported his descendants for more than half a century, and he still has a large amount of money today. Since that legendary figure After that, no very powerful mainstay characters appeared, and it was inevitable to decline. The wealth was divided into the hands of too many descendants.

Couldn't help but look at Richard a few more times, he looked quite handsome. Ye Dongqing motioned for him to come over and sit down, saying, "Judging from your reaction, the issue of the family name must have been bothering you for a long time, right? I'm sure just hearing this name will attract a bunch of girls, nice to meet you."

After hearing these words, Richard Rockefeller smiled and nodded: "That's true. Apart from the trust wealth that everyone knows, this is the only benefit to me, at least when a girl almost jumps off a building for me. It was like this before, but then I became a scumbag in school and had to drop out of school. This taught me something, such as never messing with crazy women who are beautiful but mentally ill."

"I'm listening, tell your funny stories."

Ye Dongqing asked jokingly that in many cases material wealth can give people confidence, but at this moment he didn't think the Rockefeller family was so powerful.

In more than ten to twenty years, maybe we can even compete with the founders of the Rockefeller family for wealth. It is said that the wealth held by John D. Rockefeller at his peak was similar to the recent more than 100 billion US dollars. This figure is very important to him. It is not absolutely impossible to achieve.

Richard brought his plate over and told him: "It's better not to talk about this scandal. It's better to talk about Facebook. How did you come up with this interesting entrepreneurial idea?"

"I think it's hard to meet girls you like in real life, so let them take the initiative to write down their photos and preferences on the Internet. It's as simple as that."

"real?"

"Really." Ye Dongqing kept talking about the train. After seeking Richard's opinion, he waved to the waiter and asked for two glasses of beer.

"Well, this is really... a good idea. I was on a date with a girl a few days ago. I originally wanted to leave her mobile phone number, but unexpectedly she asked me to leave her Facebook account. When I replied that I didn't have it, I clearly found her. Look at me like I’m an alien.”

"Maybe it's bad news for you, but I kind of want to laugh now. This explains why the user base of my program is growing so fast. I hope damn Oracle can quickly deliver the data server to me. I heard He said that there have been frequent glitches recently, and the user growth rate is too fast, exceeding original expectations."

Ye Dongqing knew that he was cheating, but ever since he heard the name "Rockefeller", he couldn't help but want to do this. Even he didn't know why. Maybe he wanted to find some comfort. Can he be blamed for this? That aunt with a weird personality, after spending so many years together day and night, inevitably suffered some negative effects.

Richard Rockefeller didn't pay attention. Instead, he felt that Facebook was worth investing in. He also thought that Ye Dongqing's character was quite interesting. He followed the topic and said, "Digital cameras should be very popular these days. I don't think any girl would want to use them." Post the not-so-good photos to show to your friends, and I’ll treat you to this meal. In return, can you let me be followed by so many newly registered users like you?”
