Chapter 95

When it comes to Tencent financing, Ye Dongqing always feels that he is treated as a sucker. I don’t know if it is Boni’s idea or the real major shareholder MIH Group’s idea, but it makes him feel uncomfortable anyway.

Neither the voting right nor the price is higher than expected. The strangest thing is that he is only willing to receive 50 million US dollars in financing from himself, and there is no need for it. This is the most embarrassing thing about Ye Dongqing, because although he can afford 50 million US dollars in a short period of time, his company will be forced to be very tight, resulting in the capital flows in other places facing difficulties in a short period of time.

After all, it is not his own money. After being questioned at the Securities and Exchange Commission, he can no longer take risks and take advantage of loopholes like before, ignore the rules and invest at will according to his own ideas, and leave everything behind in the system, rules and other things behind.

Thinking about some ways to invest. The most critical question facing Ye Dongqing is whether it is worth investing. If you really invest, will it affect the development of Facebook?

No one can help him consider these issues. He hopes to make his own ideas than to believe other people's suggestions. It is not that he is born with arbitrary and self-righteous personality, but that he has stood on the top of the mountain and seen more scenery from the perspective of experienced people.

Lying on a comfortable chair and putting my feet next to the table, I wanted to light a cigar and think about it carefully, but my hands were retracted as soon as I reached out. It was easy to get addicted to smoking cigars. I have not been addicted to smoking in my life, which is not good for my health, and I don’t have too many worries. There is no need to joke about my young body.

I was thinking about the portal called "Sohu" in my mind. Ye Dongqing felt that the combination of Tencent and it was like adding Yahoo to the ICQ live chat program. It cannot be said that there is absolutely no market. Judging from the current situation, the market is quite good. The scale of the Internet industry on the other side of the Pacific is not as large and sound as the United States, which means there are many opportunities.

Because it was acquired by Sohu, Ye Dongqing would be so entangled. If it were to acquire Baidu, Alibaba and other companies he had heard of, there would be no need to worry too much about affecting Tencent's development. Overall, with Tencent's huge user scale and cooperating with a portal website, it might also play a good mutual promotion role.

I couldn't help but start to invest, and was about to face the long Christmas holiday. I still have time to slowly think about what to do, take back my mind, focus on the summary report and read it, then close the folder and put it in my drawer to lock it.

As soon as Tamsui Fund Company had some money, he began to think about changing office space.

As the company's employees gradually increase, Leo-Y, which is similar to the shell company, and several supervisors of Golden Island Financial Management have also placed several desks in this small office. There are also several new departments behind it, such as legal counsel stationed in the company, who can help review various contracts, and a larger financial department. As the website goes online, it also needs special personnel to help maintain it.

It won't delay it until too late, it's something that will happen next year. If you think about it, Ye Dongqing called the real estate agent he met last time and asked him if there were any larger office buildings for rent, which can be rented for a long time, with an area of ​​at least 1,000 square meters, and the environment is his focus.

There are so many office buildings in Manhattan, and there are not many companies that can fill them all. It is easy to rent office buildings. Some of the originally very famous high-rise buildings on Wall Street have been recently converted into apartments for rent and sale. The main reason is that there are not many tenants who are willing to pay for money and would rather move the company to other places around to reduce unnecessary costs.

The other party immediately recommended several buildings on Wall Street as required, such as Building 23, Puchuan Building, etc. Ye Dongqing hoped that the other party would take him to the spot to take a look, and the two parties made an appointment.

After going out to talk to Carnike about this, he will soon have Carnike, which belongs to his own office. Of course, he will not refuse such a good thing. Until now, he is still crowding in an open space with a group of employees, which makes him look very unstyled.

As an "old employee" of Xintanshui Fund Company, Carnike is very glad that he did not submit his resignation letter to Ye Dongqing with his friends. It turns out that in that bet on crude oil futures, all the resigned guys became fools. They had the hope of getting high bonuses, but they chose to escape the battlefield when the opportunity arose.

Ms. Vigo took the blame and had to rest for a long time before she could return to the company again. Now Carnike has become the second-in-command besides the boss Ye Dongqing, and he wants a comfortable and high-end office.

At this moment, he said tentatively: "Why do you have to worry about Wall Street instead of choosing to move your headquarters to Midtown like other companies?

Wall Street has slowly declined. It is no longer the financial center of Manhattan. The real financial center has been transferred to Midtown. The transportation is more convenient and the environment is better. Many companies have gone there. I think you should choose to rent a floor in Midtown."

As he said, after time entered the 21st century, Wall Street is constantly declining, or the entire Lower Manhattan is declining, and rich people no longer like to consider buying houses in Lower City. The Upper East Side and Upper West Side, the midtown, known as the "centralized place of billionaires", is the place where people like to live and live the most.

Bear Stearns, who are not bankrupt, and ****, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley, have begun or planned to move their headquarters to Midtown further north, away from the narrow neighborhood of Wall Street, Lower Town.

The development of electronic trading and over-the-counter trading have made "concentration" no longer so important. These giants do not need Wall Street's name to gild themselves, hoping to pursue a more comfortable office environment.

The reason why Ye Dongqing wanted to rent on Wall Street was mainly because the house he rented was here. Facebook is not far from Wall Street, so there are no other reasons.

From a long-term perspective, the scale of Tamsui Fund is still small now. When more employees become more, moving to a better place means that employees have to rent houses in other places, so they have to make a decision now, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future.

The midtown area is undoubtedly much more prosperous than the low town. It can be seen from the housing prices that there is no movement in the low town, but brand new skyscrapers in the Midtown area are under construction. From the perspective of time, the US real estate industry is about to enter the next short period of prosperity.

It’s okay to move or not. Considering that they will go to college next time, Midtown or Uppertown are undoubtedly closer to Columbia University, Ye Dongqing has already made a decision. After going to Boston once, he felt that he would not like to go back and forth, and studying in New York was good.

Both sides have advantages. The lower city is a little broken, so it is not very comfortable to live in Wall Street. It is not convenient to catch a plane or go shopping. The name Wall Street is just a little useful.

After a moment of entanglement, he told Carnike, "I'll take a look first. I'll see Wall Street and Midtown, and then make a decision..."
