Wall Street Legend

As Mr. Bernard Madoff's case was dug out, Ye Dongqing was indeed in trouble to some extent. It can be seen from the reactions of other investors that they obviously take this matter very seriously, even if they even The beautiful financial report just released cannot offset the negative impact caused by being involved in a Ponzi scheme.

The media has not yet reacted, and only sporadic news has spread on the Internet. If it ferments for another day or two, there will probably be a lot of people withdrawing their capital. However, it doesn’t matter if the scattered investors he initially attracted are gone. He just wants to Enterprise-level key customer retention.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. McCord was asked: "Where else can we get more money back?"

"More? It should be enough to withstand risks, right? The money originally invested in the crude oil futures market, plus the profits earned later, totals more than 4 billion US dollars. The company itself also has a lot of money, so the situation won't be that bad, right? "

"Just in case, I feel like SCE will once again find an excuse to conduct a comprehensive investigation of our company. This will affect the confidence of many investors. It's hard to say how many old Bernard customers will be retained. Really fucked Ah, I’d better develop in the direction of a family office in the future. I’ll only have some debt dealings with the bank and don’t need any other money. I’ll be so comfortable and no one can affect me.”

"Leo, isn't our company family-owned? I've been treating it as your private investment department. Maybe you should make more money and quickly reduce the debt level to a safe level."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. McCord suddenly thought of something and his eyes lit up: "By the way, Microsoft and those joint communications groups offered Skype $1.85 billion and $1.3 billion respectively. According to the offer, the former hopes to acquire all of Skype and integrate Skype into their system, while the latter requires 80% of the shares, Verizon Communications takes 30%, and the remaining two companies share equally.”

"Mr. Tim Cook of Apple also called me, but he wanted me to keep the company and cooperate with Apple..."

The profits brought by Skype are enough to satisfy Ye Dongqing. It is better to withdraw some funds and spend them wisely. Moreover, free video call technology will be released soon. Pure network communication technology is no longer valued by him. He added: " But I decided to sell it to let Microsoft know that they had a well-funded competitor, and I hoped to raise the price to more than $2.2 billion.

As for those communication companies, you can guess that they will not run this company well, and may hide this technology in the snow. It is better to transfer it all directly. Let people know that I do have the idea of ​​​​selling it as a whole, but I am not very anxious. Maybe they will lower the price because they see my trouble. You tell them that this is a dream, and 2.2 billion US dollars is Bottom line. "

"I understand what you mean. Maybe you can ask the bank to be ready to withdraw funds from them at any time if you need them?"

"Okay, Mr. McCord. Also, I think oil prices may fall in the near future. Many large institutions have secretly reduced their positions. Without continued financial support, oil prices should fall soon. However, for safety reasons, I hope that we can use hedging to reduce risks this time. Our company can no longer withstand the trouble. If any bad news comes out, my reputation in people's minds will fall to the bottom. I will transfer two billion US dollars to you and watch for yourself. Do it, remember, it tends to go down.”

Three consecutive successes have made Mr. McCord blindly trust Ye Dongqing's vision. What's more, this time he even decided to hedge to offset the risk. He just asked: "When will it start?"

Ye Dongqing opened the data terminal of Bloomberg News and after reading it, he said: "Fifty-two dollars. Once it reaches fifty-two dollars, you will immediately arrange for me to open a position. It is still very popular recently. I need a little buffer time. Let me People should accept the change in market trends. When the time comes, the news of my large bearish position will be released, and an interview with a financial magazine or something will be arranged. Remember, anyone who scolded me last time will be blacklisted."

Looking at the numbers on the screen, they are already as high as fifty dollars and eighty-six cents a barrel, which means that after the reduction, the price has increased by about three dollars. Heartache is inevitable, but no one can accurately capture every peak and trough. It's safe to fall into the bag, and you should spend money to buy safety.

Mr. McCord nodded and replied: "I'm going to ask someone to prepare it now. How much is the deposit?"

"I am 20% long and 10% short. I have a hunch that there should be many people like me trying to open short positions."

Corresponding to five times leverage and ten times leverage respectively, I did not ask Mr. McCord to invest all the two billion US dollars. Ye Dongqing felt that it was not good to make money every time, and it was easy to be targeted by interested people, so he planned to give McCord Mr. De and his group of people have some space to display their talents. Even if the losses are incurred, they will probably not be too big.

Phone calls came to Ye Dongqing one after another. He explained to people in person that he did not know the inside story at first, but he was willing to take some risks and told the investors that their principal was still there and there was no loss.

In order to dispel their concerns, they are even willing to disclose some of their accounts to let them see how much cash, treasury bonds, and stocks that have gained momentum in the accounts of Tamsui Investment Group.

In the next few hours, I was almost busy dealing with these people personally. Some people made it clear that they wanted to withdraw the funds. Ye Dongqing was not even prepared to use the redemption period and readily let the other party take the money. More investors After hearing about the fixed interest rate, he heartily expressed his hope to continue to wait and see for a while.

The matter was handled fairly well. When I remembered something, I called Bernard Madoff Sr. and told him that he was solving the problem. He asked him to return to the United States for investigation and hand over his account books.

*************

"I heard you were in some trouble?"

Standing on the balcony on the second floor, underneath is a beautiful garden with lights on, the fountain is spraying water, and the swimming pool is glowing with light blue.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Dongqing had already returned to the island by helicopter. Angelina, who was wearing a female black formal dress and black stockings on her long legs, was standing next to him at the moment, tasting the ancient wine produced in 1961. Red wine, the last scene has been filmed tonight, and the crew will move to the Manhattan studio tomorrow to continue filming.

"Even you know it. It seems that the news spreads very quickly. Don't worry. The trouble is not on me. I am just affected. I may lose a little money, but I can always find a way to make up for it."

He doesn’t like red wine very much. Ye Dongqing is holding a glass of whiskey in his hand. He originally planned to continue working, but Angelina took the initiative to come to his door tonight...
