Wall Street Legend

The buildings are all gone and the hotel is not built here, so there is no chance to even "sweep the grave and pay homage" to myself.

The day passed calmly, no one knew why Ye Dongqing was sad, but after drinking too much wine, she became very happy again.

Although the world has long since become different from what Ye Dongqing remembered, for him, after today passes, it means a new beginning and the continuation of life. Everything is unknown and he has never experienced it himself.

It is indeed a memorable moment.

I am in my thirties, and I don’t have the feeling of being senile, but after all, I can’t beat time. I have been polished smoothly in every little thing, and I feel confident in my heart. I have a sense of maturity that is calm in the world, even if I am just standing there. That can give people an invisible sense of oppression.

Forbes has long been eliminated from the list. Some people say that in the 21st century until now, most of the business luck of businessmen has gone to him.

This statement has won widespread recognition. By 2018, Ye Dongqing’s shadow can be seen in almost all walks of life, deeply rooted in the lifeline of the world economy, including banks, securities firms, Internet companies, daily necessities, shopping malls, hotels, and real estate. He has his hands in companies, communications, semiconductors, transportation, aviation, etc., cashing out and investing at the same time.

No longer focused on the IT industry like in the first decade of this century, it is now in full bloom, and wealth is gathering in his hands at an accelerated pace. No one knows how much money Ye Dongqing has, and the tip of the iceberg revealed is enough to shock people.

The island of Lanai in Hawaii is currently under development. His private estate will be built on an entire large island with an investment of more than 10 billion US dollars, including farms and orchards.

He has taken over the vast majority of shares in Hollywood's DreamWorks and is working with Netflix on film and television production. In recent years, outstanding movies and TV series have been produced one after another, and they are full of influence.

He acquired a 20% stake in CBS TV station, as well as a number of policy research institutions. Ye Dongqing said that his business would expand to other countries, so Washington gave him the green light to transfer many technologies to In other countries, the establishment of branches, independent subsidiaries, etc., gave him the security he wanted.

The initial launch of iCar was tepid, but now global sales have exceeded 7 million. A new factory is under construction in China. Apple has a market value of 110 billion U.S. dollars. For a company with a market value of over one trillion, he still has Two companies, Amazon and Facebook, have reduced some of their holdings, but they are still very valuable.

In addition, there are many large and small companies with a market value of more than 100 billion US dollars. For example, Android, which was listed, has a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars and annual profits of more than 10 billion US dollars. Tencent and Alibaba have market values ​​of 500 billion and 500 billion respectively. With 400 billion US dollars, it accidentally dominated China's Internet industry, leaving small companies with almost no chance to rise.

I travel frequently and am worried about plane accidents, so I spent money to have Boeing develop several planes that will never crash. The cabins can be separated separately and are equipped with parachutes. When traveling, three planes fly together and are escorted by private fighter jets throughout the journey. It greatly reduces the risk and costs a lot, but money is not as important as life.

Money is really not valued by him.

When you are so rich, you will always earn more than you spend. Ye Dongqing doesn't know exactly how much money he has now, let alone how much money he can earn every day. Including the charitable trust, it is almost 4 trillion. Yes, I am no longer too lazy to hide it. I have paid more than 200 billion US dollars in taxes one after another, which has single-handedly improved the quality of life of New York residents.

Recently, he has become more and more Buddhist. He doesn't want to participate in various activities, and he no longer wants to worry about the company's trivial matters. The Federal Reserve and Washington have borrowed money from him in disguise, raising interest rates to let him buy treasury bonds, so he doesn't have to worry about favors or other things. , anyway, no one will deny him face when needed.

The children are very healthy and have entered school age. Since the birth of their youngest daughter Ye Qi, they have not had any other children. However, Laura recently wanted to have another child and has not finished sowing. Even if she gives birth to a small country, she can raise it. It's not a big deal if he can afford it. Having many direct descendants also means security. Having only one son is really unjustifiable.

Some businessmen worship his photo as the God of Wealth. After all, there is no other person besides Ye Dongqing who can earn more than a billion dollars from selling his autobiography and image rights.

If in his memory, this era was an era of vying for the throne, then now one person is crushing them all. Since last year, Forbes kicked him off the list and started writing it from the second place. Otherwise, all the people together would not be able to win. It is unjustifiable that he is not as rich as the number one person.

He became so rich by accident. In the past few years, Ye Dongqing's life has been no different from that of ordinary rich people. He can also run in the morning and exercise, and he can also take a boat to the sea to fish for tuna. His personal wealth exceeds the total GDP of Germany last year and is only less than that of ordinary rich people. Japan is a little worse, so there is nothing to pursue. It is just like an old man, because he can still live, so he makes do with his life.

The reason why I bought the Hawaiian island of Lanai and built a lot of construction on it is mainly to live in it during the winter and open it to tourism. The purpose is to prevent the island from becoming lifeless.

Since the birth of modern civilization, it seems that there has never been a person like him. Relaxation is definitely a return to nature. Ye Dongqing went to the farm to work as a "farmer" for a year the year before last. In order to find something to do for himself, he started harvesting continuously. All machines have been learned.

In comparison, Richard, who has become a billionaire thanks to his fortune, seems to be happier. This guy has pursuits and is also a leader. At the beginning of the year, he just announced that he had successfully reached the goal of "1000". Specifically, it does not require too much. Said, the next goal is two thousand.

What you and I wish to do is neither good nor bad. We enjoy the blessings and spend a lot of money. With such a personality, we are too lazy to say anything to each other. They each pursue different pursuits.

Little Edward became the rich man he dreamed of. It was more difficult for him to do business than Ye Dongqing, so although he was busy, he was still busy.

Ye Dongqing is still not married. While maintaining a stable relationship with Laura and Maxi, she occasionally looks for excitement.

Without materialistic pursuits, things in my eyes are more pure. I have helped a desperate Chinese young man who was short of money to help his mother treat her illness. I have also helped a widowed old woman with white hair squatting in the cold wind and wiping her tears to enjoy her old age. Don't deliberately help anyone, but as long as you see them, it's not recommended to reach out and give them a hand.

It is a good thing that he has no ambitions. He knows that his plan for Washington is only for self-protection. Therefore, Ye Dongqing is known as a good person among the top management. He will not offend anyone and is not afraid of anyone. No one is stupid enough to deliberately provoke him or dare to do this. All lunatics don't end up well. A few years ago, a senator who made wild remarks was exposed by CBS as a drunk driver and lost his career.

Anyone who cares knows what is going on. After all, he just made a fuss about the polarization of wealth the day before, saying that he wanted to change this situation.

**********

Mid-May 2019.

On the 17th, Ye Dongqing was lying on a rubber boat wearing sunglasses and basking in the sun. Next to him was his son. Several speedboats were following him more than ten meters away, and divers were even patrolling the water.

He turned his head and asked his son: "When you grow up, what career do you want to do? At your age, you should have some ideas, right? Do you want to do business like me?"

"Making money? No, no, no, I don't like making money. I want to... open a cake shop with Mia. She likes eating cakes very much."

"That short-haired South American girl? She has good vision and is more ambitious than me. It doesn't matter whether she has money or not. You and your sisters can just live a happy life."

Ye Dongqing took a sip of his cocktail, shook his head and said, "You must never become like me. It's too boring. Now I just think about waiting for me to grow old and be buried on another planet, Mars. But there are still dozens more Years, if nothing else happens, it should be several decades.

Remember, when you grow up, if one day you find it boring, then donate all the pocket money I give you and live a poor life. When I didn't get rich, I was always full of energy all day long. How could I be like here now, with so much money lying in my account that I couldn't even spend it? Now I just want to be an ordinary person..."
