Chapter 150 Skype (2/3)
Miss Mashi said she wanted to travel to New York. When she had time, the Paris Academy of Fine Arts had just started. She probably would have to wait until April or May, and then she would bring the oil paintings to Ye Dongqing.
It seemed that she had made plans in advance, so Ye Dongqing stopped talking and told her that she would take time to take a look around.
On March 19th, the day before the war broke out, oil prices fell back to 26 US dollars per barrel, more than 20% higher than the price in September last year. However, considering the crazy desire of oil merchants to raise oil prices, Ye Dongqing did not dare to continue to be bearish. Therefore, he bought some futures orders at the right time and filled the amount of orders "borrowed" from brokers. With the handling fees, the total profit was as high as nearly 190 million US dollars!
There was no short-term speculation for a while, so Ye Dongqing transferred two funds to Tencent and IDG Group respectively, successfully obtained the shares, and invested the remaining money to Facebook for 20 million US dollars, and the rest was spread out and flowed into the stock market.
The old ones, Apple, Amazon, and Netflix, are not very large now, and there is not much left after spending 60 million US dollars. They leave the remaining cash in the company's account for emergency response and announce the profit news to the public, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal reprinted and reported it again, which is a follow-up progress in the news some time ago and is used to attract readers' attention.
Many people already know Ye Dongqing's name, and then a group of newcomers were added, which directly led to a sharp increase in the scale of the fundraising of Danshui Fund. With capital support, investors are more convinced that there will be no problem of inability to fulfill their contracts after the financial products expire, which is also a good thing.
It is said that when employees of Golden Island Financial Management Company recently brought several newspapers when promoting products, the chances of success suddenly increased a lot, and their fame gradually became popular. So Ye Dongqing decided to purchase Facebook advertising space through Tamsui Fund, change her left hand to her right hand, and spend 6 million US dollars on two weeks of advertising, promoting herself while promoting her.
He tried to make tens of millions of young people realize that they are a cool person, which is very helpful to future business. Perhaps most Facebook users now have no money to invest, but in the future, it is possible. After all, users are mainly college students, and a large part of them may become middle-class and high-yield.
The only advertisements we are talking about at present are Adidas. There are three advertising spaces arranged in total, and it is a waste to put them in. He left one for himself, and the rest of the company took the initiative to contact Amazon and persuaded Amazon CEO Mr. Jeff Bezos to spend money to buy them. The friendly price is...7 million US dollars.
The other party knew that Ye Dongqing was optimistic about his company and held more and more shares. After learning about Facebook's user scale, he decided to make it at a price of 7 million US dollars without much hesitation. In other words, Facebook has recently earned 17.5 million US dollars with 10 million registered users!
Compared with companies such as Google and Yahoo, Facebook's target advertising group is undoubtedly younger, which means greater effect. When the number of users continues to increase, the advertising costs will only become higher and higher. Considering the user's experience, for a long time, Ye Dongqing only plans to arrange no more than five advertising spaces to keep the page simple and clean.
On the weekend, I took Zhao Liuli to visit the Natural History Museum. During this period, I also called Laura. She said she was working for her friends and it seemed that she was not going to go back to the United States in the short term.
Through the conversation, I also learned something that surprised Ye Dongqing. Laura actually wanted to study in London and was preparing to apply for Cambridge or Oxford. University College London was also within her goal. If it was a relationship, Ye Dongqing would definitely let her come back to accompany her, but she was not a couple, so there was no reason to say anything more. She just expressed her blessings and called herself if she had difficulties.
*********************
Bypassing the joint organization, a nearly crushing war is going on thousands of kilometers away from the United States.
Americans often take to the streets to march, and this time is no exception. Wall Street is calm about this, and several major indexes are still stable and even show a slow upward trend.
These have little to do with Ye Dongqing. He has completely ignored the rise and fall of oil prices. The thing is too exciting and the risk is also amazing. Without being sure, he does not intend to enter the market to bet on luck again. If you want to find excitement, it is better to take millions of dollars to Las Vegas, at least you can control the winning or losing range by yourself, and maybe you can come and meet something else.
Two hundred and eight million dollars.
With Ye Dongqing's reluctance to give up, Masayoshi Son, CEO of Japan SoftBank Group, finally gave up on continuing to raise bets, tricked him, raised the price to 28 million US dollars, and the Estonians agreed to transfer all relevant technical patents at this price.
It was not very successful, but the result was satisfying Ye Dongqing. On the last day of March, he personally rushed to Rome and signed a contract with them. He was worried about going back on his word and agreed on a terrible 100-fold penalty. Since they had evaded the official subpoena from the United States repeatedly and repeatedly, their reputation was not high, so they had to be careful in their cooperation.
I have been busy all day and my life is very fast. I happened to come to Rome and I stayed for a few days to see how it could be.
I personally experienced the enthusiasm of the Italian girls. I met a young girl in the bar, which made Ye Dongqing's back hurt for two or three days. Now I say that he is a golden bachelor, it's just a dewy marriage, it's fleeting, without any emotions, and a very Western attitude towards life.
If someone is determined to live together for the rest of his life because of that kind of thing, he will definitely be regarded as a joke when he says it. Although he has a conservative lifestyle, he is relatively just a few people, and Ye Dongqing is definitely not.
The story that happened in Rome stayed in Rome, which did not prevent him from playing romance. After flying to Paris, he called Miss Mahi and told Miss Mahi that he lived near the Eiffel Tower.
The company recently recruited several capable professional managers through a headhunting company and were placed in Tamsui Investment Group and Facebook. Ye Dongqing felt that it would be better if he didn't interfere recently. This way, he could see the real management ability of those guys. It is the 21st century. Work can be remotely controlled through computers and phones. There is no need to stay in New York all the time.
Mahi was very surprised. After class that day, he drove his BMW mini car to find him. He forgot to change his clothes before going out. When he met, there were paint on his jeans...
