Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 108 Selling

   With the personal reputation of Tamsui Fund Company and Ye Dongqing as guarantee, Oracle will not even refuse temporary credit. The prerequisite is that it can prove that the final payment can be made at that time.

The commercial credit system in the United States is built on the basis of a sound legal system. Due to the high cost of breaking the law and the unpopular unspoken rules such as "payment first, goods later" or "settlement at the end of the year", the risk of enterprises is relatively small , When doing business in the United States, you don’t need to worry too much about stepping on mines. Even if you can’t get money and goods right away, you must have a high deposit.

  This is one of the foundations of American business prosperity, and it attaches great importance to corporate reputation. Once it is over, the company is almost over.

Alfred House first went to explain the situation to the people of Oracle, and only said that a deposit should be paid first, and the rest will be settled when the delivery is made. Anyway, the manufacturing cycle is as long as about three months, and the money can be collected by then. .

There is no suitable promotion channel, which makes the growth rate of the number of Facebook users very slow. More than ten days after the product interview, the number of registered users barely exceeds 20,000. The arrangement of advertising and promotion must be put on the agenda, Ye Dongqing There are not many good ways, and you can only throw money into it in the early stage.

   Inviting celebrities to do promotion and the like, we have to wait until the scale is a little bigger, otherwise who knows what this is?

Ye Dongqing wants to divert people from Amazon, but this is unrealistic. It is just an investment in Amazon, and it is not his own company. It can be a dream, and he does not intend to contact Mr. Jeff Bezos. At least in the Not until Facebook got big.

  Building an Internet company requires money everywhere, which forces Ye Dongqing to work hard to make money and keep filling the gap, otherwise it will be difficult to promote this product smoothly.

  Development speed is also very important. In order not to leave time for other people and other companies to seize the market after they react, they must be the first to promote the product and bind the first batch of users.

  It’s easy to say, but it’s actually not that simple. The matter of money alone is already very difficult for Ye Dongqing. When I only had a few tens of dollars in my pocket, I felt that money was not enough. Now that I have a net worth of tens of millions, I feel that it is not enough.

  Fresh water fund company's employees are so few.

When they learned that they were going to move to a new headquarters with a better location and a larger office area, some people were happy and others were worried. The reason for worrying was nothing more than the distance from the house they rented, and the rent in Midtown was also more expensive, which meant that If you don't spend a lot of money to change the house, you have to go back and forth on the way to and from get off work every day.

There is also good news. The company is willing to subsidize part of the rent, which is not too much higher. Some employees have begun to discuss the matter of sharing the rent in small groups, and try to find as many people as possible to share the rent, such as sofas, bunk beds, etc. There is always no place to shelter from the wind and rain.

  Some people don’t plan to move, and plan to ride a bicycle or squeeze the subway every day. The famous “Billionaire’s Row” is in Midtown Manhattan, and this name is enough to dissuade them from renting an apartment nearby.

Not to mention ordinary employees, even the small management of Tamsui Fund feel that the houses in that area are simply impossible to rent, and they can't spend 60 to 70% of their monthly salary on houses. The landlord is working.

No one says Midtown is worse than Wall Street. It is well known that the environment and location there are better. Wall Street, with its narrow streets, has been unable to retain people in recent years. It is impossible to change jobs. Now the work is easy and the year-end bonus is big. , after the scale is expanded, all of them are old employees, and the opportunity for promotion and salary increase is right in front of them.

  New companies have much more promotion opportunities than established old companies. For such a little hope, it is enough for them to choose to continue working. Looking at the scale of development, such an outstanding company is so easy to find.

After finalizing a few things, Ye Dongqing took the time to go to the bookstore, choose books on futures, currency, leverage, financial analysis, etc. that suit her, pack them in the car after buying them, and prepare to put them next to her bed every time. One, read it when you have time.

Before avenging Laura, he called to check the number after getting into the car, contacted the employees of the New York Taxation Bureau, and reported Mr. Johnson's illegal activities. He only said that he suspected that he was evading taxes and running illegal businesses. Next Don't doubt the abilities of the investigators from the Federal Taxation Bureau. Ye Dongqing has dealt with them countless times, and he has a deep understanding of this.

How can I not leave a name for doing good deeds? I called Laura as soon as I hung up and told her what happened just now. Both of them were deliberately ignoring a topic. Regarding the topic of entering college, Laura was obsessed with school. But because of his criminal record, it is probably difficult to get admitted to the top schools in the United States.

Happily decided to go out for dinner tonight, Ye Dongqing chose a restaurant nearby, and asked Laura to take the girl to take a taxi to drive over. Just after starting the car, the phone rang, thinking it was Carnac or Alfred reporting the progress, seeing An unfamiliar number on the screen, he put the phone to his ear after connecting: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

   "Hello, Mr. Ye, this is the VIP Service Department of Citi Credit Card, my name is Bruce.

  Sorry to bother you. Today we received a notice that the Rolls-Royce brand under the German BMW Group released a high-end handcrafted car called Phantom on the first day. Do you have any ideas about it? In addition, the Fishers Island Club in New York is reopened after renovation. We provide you with a two-year membership for free. If you want to play golf or take a vacation, just call the number on your credit card. "

Of course I know about the Phantom, but I didn’t expect it to be released just now. Ye Dongqing didn’t even think about it, and said, "That new Rolls-Royce car, please help me order one, get it as soon as possible, please help arrange the order forward .”

   "Okay sir, but have you read about it, I'm afraid you won't like it later, how about leaving an address for someone from this company to come and talk to you in person, and design a car?"

   "OK, I'm free tomorrow morning, come directly to my company, the address is in Building No. 2 on Wall Street"

Ordinary people will never receive sales calls from Rolls-Royce, because they don't think that most people can afford it, Ye Dongqing is definitely qualified, now just recommend cars and golf clubs, wait until the deposit exceeds 50 million After the US dollar, you can still receive calls from companies such as Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation and Bombardier Aircraft Corporation. Different social status, you will face different sales advertisements. Resorts, top-end apartments, etc. will also be promoted, targeting high-end people.

The new house has its own parking spaces, and there are a total of five. Someone just called to ask, and he continued: "By the way, find a way to help me buy a Ferrari Enzo and customize a Bugatti supercar. The deposit is from Deduct from my credit card limit, OK?"

   "I will contact you now, sir, please wait patiently for a while, and I will contact you again after completion."

  The operator was extremely calm. As a VIP customer specialist of Citigroup, he has seen things like buying a plane, buying an island, and buying a whole hotel. How could he be scared by these three cars?

  Some time ago, a certain super rich man even called and asked for a celebrity by name. The price he gave was a bit scary. It was hard to make five movies, but he didn’t help in the end.

   I’ve been watching "I’m Really Immortal" recently. If you like it, you can go and watch it. It’s quite interesting.
