Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 204 Club

I originally planned to go to Hawaii on Christmas Day, because I suddenly received a phone call from Bernard Madoff himself, saying that we can meet and chat on this day, and ask Ye Dongqing to play golf together, but I was delayed because of something urgent .

  Laura has a living mother, but she is almost like an orphan. After Ye Dongqing temporarily changed her mind, she first took Zhao Liuli to Honolulu Island, which is the capital of the Hawaiian Islands.

Ye Dongqing felt relieved that Laura would take care of the girl. He had specifically threatened Zhao Liuli not to talk nonsense in front of Laura, mainly about Miss Maxi. Let Zhao Liuli answer the question according to the standard that is most beneficial to him.

Give her food, give her drink, give her a place to live, even the tuition fees are paid by Ye Dongqing, the top private school in New York, Zhao Liuli has a strong desire to survive, so Ye Dongqing feels relieved and calls the rental company in person , arranged for a helicopter to take the two of them to the airport.

It is more convenient to go to Hawaii from cities on the west coast, such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, but from New York, not only has to cross the North American continent, but also fly half of the Pacific Ocean. The flight time is about eleven hours, and the first-class cabin will be more comfortable. , It's almost as soon as you wake up, so the two of them stayed up all night.

Ye Dongqing's Airbus A380 has not yet started construction, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get it until 2006. The reason why he chose this aircraft is mainly for safety reasons. In his impression, this type of aircraft has never crashed. Boeing has a large number of orders for the 747 series, and it will take longer to order a 747 from Boeing, unless you are willing to pay more to buy from other companies.

It’s better to keep the recent money for raw money. I’m not in a hurry for now, so it doesn’t matter if I wait patiently. If I can negotiate with Mr. Bernard Madoff, maybe I can reward myself with a super luxurious yacht. It is perfect for holding parties and receiving guests. Americans have a strong sense of comparison. They are big toys for the super rich...

  Little Edward has a villa on the seaside of Honolulu Island. He went to Maldives for vacation this Christmas and offered to lend that house to Ye Dongqing.

  After making a phone call and confirming that there was no problem, Ye Dongqing asked the secretary to help arrange a pick-up, and sent the two of them directly to Little Edward's house. After resting at home for a while, Ye Dongqing packed up and went out.

Christmas without snow is not perfect. The sun is shining today, but you can hardly feel the heat on your body. The number of pedestrians on the street has decreased a lot. Some people take advantage of the holidays to travel after receiving year-end bonuses, and some people leave New York , each went back to their hometown to spend Christmas with their parents.

  Many shops were not open. Tourists from all over the world picked the worst time to come here. It was cold and not lively, so they could only walk around and have to accept the cold wind.

Similarly, today is not a good day for playing golf, but Mr. Bernard Madoff is the host. Ye Dongqing did not ask him to change the meeting place. He is on his way to the Fishers Island Club at the moment, which is a relatively new place in the New York area. One of the famous golf clubs.

In fact, he doesn't like sports very much, and he doesn't think it's better to negotiate business on the golf course than in a cafe. As long as both parties can make money, the business can be negotiated even in the toilet, without any equipment. Take, prepare to leave after talking, take a plane to Hawaii for vacation.

  Ye Dongqing has been staring at Bernard Madoff for a long time. Ever since he had an accident and returned to this era, the name of the old man has often appeared in his mind.

The reason why he didn't do anything was because, on the one hand, he was not strong enough at the time, and on the other hand, it was also because Bernard Madoff didn't have much money at that time, and he didn't have anything that Ye Dongqing could use to blackmail him. , at least you have to grasp a reliable handle first, otherwise how can you give in obediently and send the money to him?

It's different now. The old man just gave investors a dividend recently, with a total amount of about 900 million US dollars. Because it belongs to a private equity fund, the specific accounts don't need to be disclosed to the public. Ye Dongqing doesn't know the exact figure, but he Recently, it has indeed begun to falsely report the amount of profit, claiming that the annual increase is as high as 16%.

  …

  Bernard Madoff took the initiative to step down from the position of chairman of Nasdaq, saying that he wanted to concentrate on managing his own investment company.

This time he guessed wrong, thinking that Ye Dongqing wanted to put the money in him and make a profit from it, so at this moment he proudly told his son, "Don't interrupt me later, just be responsible for adjusting the atmosphere." , let me talk to him, that Chinese guy named Leo has a lot of money in his hand, if you want to keep the game going, you must have a steady stream of funds flowing in, recently I will help you and your brother Two accounts were opened in Switzerland, and 150 million U.S. dollars will be deposited in each. Don't use them unless it is absolutely necessary, just pretend that you have never had this account.

The stupid old man from Fairfield-Greenwich invested a billion dollars in me last year, and will invest more in the future. After you meet his son in two days, remember to receive them well and satisfy him no matter what he wants needs, understand? "

Mark Madoff nodded to show that he understood. He served as an assistant beside his father. Although Bernard often boasted about how much money he made, in fact his company suffered serious losses from the first year. He invested in AOL, It was so bad that Bernard doubted his life and had no choice but to embark on the road of being a liar, otherwise the customers would withdraw their money and he would go bankrupt.

After a period of time, he found that no one was aware of the tricks he was playing, and he also begged to put the money on him to help invest, so his ambitions became bigger and bigger, and he had higher requirements for investors. When the funds come, almost everyone comes.

  The issue that needs to be considered in daily life is not how to make money, but how to use the Ponzi scheme to continue playing the game. Ye Dongqing seems to be taken for a ride in his eyes.

   Ye Dongqing also regarded Bernard Madoff as a boiled duck. After meeting on the club's court, they shook hands enthusiastically and introduced themselves.

The caddy helped prepare a set of top-level clubs, and when the car was crossing the flat green grass, the old Bernard asked with a smile: "I heard from my son that you want to talk to me about business? By the way, your Danshui Investment Group It's pretty good, but it's still too safe in terms of investment, you need to find someone with experience to help, especially someone like me who has been on Wall Street for decades to help..."
