Chapter 243 Variables
Except for the time when they were confused and knew nothing about Giselle, Ye Dongqing and Laura were both guilty.
If it weren't for drinking too much, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened to them. To be precise, it should be Laura. She was often influenced by a nun when she was a child and formed a relatively conservative concept. If Ye Dongqing, who had just started a business at that time, was too charming in her eyes, and when she was confused about life at that time, Laura wouldn't have "fallen" so easily.
It is ridiculous to say that in the minds of many European countries, the United States is simply equivalent to "conservative". For example, many residents of countries such as France and Italy think so.
Many men and women in the United States have open ideas about private life, but they are mainly concentrated in big cities and remote areas, which pay more attention to proportion. As for the concepts of some countries in East Asia, in the eyes of the residents of these European countries, they are simply perverted. They can't imagine having sex with only one person for the rest of their lives, and they will not feel romantic about it. Instead, they think that strange cultures have bound people's nature.
With different social customs and historical backgrounds, their concepts will naturally be different. Ye Dongqing was influenced by two cultures at the same time, which made him not so presumptuous while being unconventional. This is why he was distressed at this moment.
The main reason is that Laura is also present, worried that the trouble will end in the future, and the reasons are ready, such as drinking too much last night, pretending to be amnesia, finding a hospital to lie in to sell misery, etc. He does not want a estrangement between him and Laura. The other party is special and he has known each other very early.
When I returned to the hotel to take a break, I thought Laura would call to question herself, or come to the door to confront her face, but none of this happened. She woke up in the afternoon and woke up by hunger at around 2 o'clock. I turned on my phone and found that there was no news about Laura, and my heart suddenly became cold.
In fact, Laura didn't dare to contact Ye Dongqing. She was still immersed in the shock of her "cheating". She didn't know how to face Ye Dongqing, so she pretended that nothing happened and hid in a hotel to recuperate. She became like a hangover and it would be difficult to recover without lying for a day. She was sitting alone on the big bed in a daze.
******************
Time flies, two days, Ye Dongqing did not take the initiative to contact her, nor did she receive a call from Laura, but learned that she had returned to London.
After the winter vacation, the university reopened. He was trapped by Silicon Valley affairs and could not send Zhao Liuli to school in person. He could only help the female housekeeper. Even in the absence of discipline, the girl's grades were very good, keeping up with her peers' courses. Before the holiday last year, she got A scores for every subject, and even a book report was no exception.
He hardly had to worry about anything. What was worried about was that the price of crude oil futures on the New York Stock Exchange fell by 2.7% yesterday, and almost 400 million US dollars were gone. It is true that those futures orders are still making money, but who doesn't want them to keep rising?
Many investors thought this was a dangerous signal, and short orders increased rapidly in a terrifying scale. Mr. McCorder just called and suggested that Ye Dongqing reduce his holdings slightly, but he did not intend to adopt such suggestions. If the number of long positions in his hands was not too high, he even wanted to continue to take some risks and invest about 500 million in it.
For risk control considerations, this dispelled the idea of increasing holdings. Judging from the overall situation, the market is still safe. Several major American oil companies have not released any rumors, and the Middle East is also calm, and it is more like a group of bulls scaring themselves and causing oil prices to fall in the commodity trading market.
Investment also depends on psychological game. There is a slight panic in the short term. After the opening today, there was another sign of a slight decline. The trading volume increased sharply for a while, but it soon rose again. It is said that it is because Saudi Arabia is likely to announce production cuts in the near future for environmental protection reasons.
It is not known whether the production will be really reduced, but the market was quickly stabilized, turning from red to green, which clearly revealed an important signal - the pair of big hands that invisibly promoted the market showed no sign of satisfaction.
This means that a group of short-sellers, especially those who increased the short-sell scale immediately after selling out yesterday, must be a tragedy.
Ye Dongqing is a medium-sized "player" with a good scale, and is still far from the market. His current influence is mainly concentrated in the Internet sector and he is still not a giant. There are many Internet companies in his hands, not even a company with a scale of over 10 billion US dollars. Look at Microsoft, the market value has recently returned to 300 billion US dollars. Bill Gates is still the richest man in the world. The stock god Mr. Buffett also topped the top in a short period of time ago.
He is still quite different from those people. Ye Dongqing is optimistic about this. It is not just about investing in potential stocks and lying at home to wait for wealth. In order to avoid going on a wrong path, he still needs careful care.
Apple has encountered some trouble recently. Jobs informed investors about his condition the day after the yacht party and said that he would suspend all positions in Apple until his condition recovered. Ye Dongqing called him and asked him that the test results were quite good and he would have surgery in the near future.
Whether this guy is willing to undergo surgery is not clear at present, except for him. It is very likely that even Jobs himself is struggling. Ye Dongqing is paying close attention to this matter and told him that he would be treated early and that he would return to Apple as soon as possible to continue to do the development of smart products. He knew very well how much Jobs attached to those projects.
In the early 21st century, cancer is no longer a disease that doctors can do, especially for the rich. One third of the cancers in the world can be cured, one third of the cancers can be treated, and one third of them can be delayed by treatment to achieve the purpose of extending survival time. Powerful guys always have a way to enjoy precious resources that ordinary people cannot bear. Sometimes money can really equate with time.
According to the hospital, there is a high possibility that Jobs's disease will be cured, as long as it is treated as soon as possible. He nominated Mr. Tim Cook to take over his current position and temporarily transferred his deputy to a regular position and temporarily replaced Cook's chief operating officer. With Ye Dongqing's support and Jobs' support, the whole thing should have been very smooth, but something went wrong.
During the vote, three board members jointly supported another senior vice president to replace Jobs, which made Ye Dongqing very puzzled. He rushed to Apple in person to try to understand the specific situation...
