Chapter 250 Miscellaneous (4/4)

After all, she was still a young girl who had just entered society. Otherwise, Laura's guilt would not be so deep. She wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but unfortunately, memory always reminded her.

The matter has not ended here, but it will be a few months later, so I won’t talk about it for now.

The decoration company called Ye Dongqing and told him that the island located on Long Island had already entered the final work and was expected to be completed in another month, and the renovation and maintenance of the main building was completed. If he wanted, he could move in in the next few days. The various materials used during the decoration were environmentally friendly and there was no need to worry too much about formaldehyde. It would be enough to ventilate for a few days. The housekeeper and servants were trying to complete the cleaning work.

A total of more than 40 million US dollars were invested in decoration. The money and manpower spent on the entire island must be less. In order to give myself a sense of surprise, Ye Dongqing has not been here to see it recently.

In recent days, I have been trapped by things in Silicon Valley and have no time to go back to see them. Some uncertainties can only be communicated through phone and email, such as the purchase of sculptures, etc., all of which are from a well-known sculptor in New York. They are made of natural stone materials, and you don’t have to worry about natural damage after being kept for hundreds of years.

The phone call reminded Ye Dongqing. He was so busy that he forgot to remind the Cobra Building that he should ask an architectural design firm to help plan in the near future. Buying land and other things must be put on the agenda. Considering the sufficient capital flow of Tamsui Investment Group, it is not a problem to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build a skyscraper. Moreover, the money for building a building is not to be taken out at one time. The construction period may be as long as four or five years. By then, Ye Dongqing feels that he will probably become richer, and maybe he can become the richest man in the world. This is very possible.

In addition, Ye Dongqing also felt that he should buy a helicopter. He lay in the hotel room for a few seconds and thought that one might not be enough. He called William's assistant to help investigate the market conditions of various helicopters. It would be the kind that was very comfortable, very little noise and was particularly safe.

It is possible to take a boat to Manhattan from that island, and you can actually buy a large yacht, but he believes that it may not be useful for the time being. The money is not enough to spend it all, and the debt problem of Tamsui Investment Group still exists. It is better to pay the money back to investors first, so as to save money and pay them additional interest.

From another perspective, paying these people interest is also beneficial, and it is considered to be spending money to tie them into the carriage. Take Mr. Bernard Madoff as an example. Once Ye Dongqing really encounters problems, even if he fights his life, he will probably do his best to help. All his wealth and life will be placed on Tamsui Investment Group.

The "small goal" of 20 billion US dollars will be achieved soon. Even the City Bank of Manhattan recently approached Mr. McCorder and tried to invest a full 2 ​​billion US dollars in the Tamsui Fund. Recently, the money you can invest in is increasing. How to spend them has become a difficult problem. You can't invest them all into the crude oil futures market. Ye Dongqing's courage has not yet become that way. The best investment goal is still the IT industry, mainly focusing on the upstream links of R&D and manufacturing. The investment goal is relatively wide, but it is another matter whether other shareholders are willing to sell.

These days, he sent someone to contact SoftBank's Masayoshi Son and raised the price to 110 million US dollars. The other party was still unhappy to resell Alibaba's shares to him, so he could only pin his expectations on the next round of financing. He had not given up yet. However, judging from the news Ye Dongqing received, it is estimated that the possibility of success is not high. Masayoshi Son has seen Alibaba's development potential through Taobao. If it was before Taobao went public, maybe there was still some hope. He finally invested in a relatively good company, and no angel investor was willing to pick them before ripening them.

It is impossible for Ye Dongqing to complete the business. Although it is a pity, there is no way to change anything. Jack Ma is not going to sell shares, because after the financing is diluted, he hopes to claim the next round of financing. According to Jack Ma, he does not intend to sell shares until Alibaba goes public. Fortunately, Ye Dongqing can still invest in other places, such as the Android operating system that is likely to appear this year. If it does not appear, he can find someone to develop an operating system similar to Android. Anyway, there will be no shortage of opportunities to make money.

After being exhausted by various trivial matters, FB does not let Ye Dongqing worry. As the market expands, this program has been subject to official scrutiny in many countries. There is no need to worry about how to successfully enter other countries. How to successfully enter other countries has become a problem that has to be solved. Not only does it need to solve the troubles caused by the official, but it also needs to make minor changes to the program based on the usage habits of different regions.

He also had to worry about security supervision, internal review and other aspects. He paid more attention to this before, but Ye Dongqing always felt that the strength was still not enough. Last night, the program was hacked and a vulnerability was exploited, which directly led to the server being paralyzed. The company's people worked all night to solve the problem and call out the data in the backup server. There was no big problem, but he felt it was annoying.

Isn't it like this to start a company? There is no such easy money to make. Apple also doesn't let Ye Dongqing worry. In the new round of voting, supporters and opponents actually tied. A total of four directors opposed Tim Cook as interim CEO. Bill Campbell made great efforts in it. He finally decided to fight Ye Dongqing and didn't want to surrender so easily.

There are many companies and many things. Ye Dongqing was not too patient when dealing with this trouble. At this time, his tone was a little annoyed: "Mr. Jobs, you have seen it yourself. This is they are declaring war on me and you. I don't think that continuing like this in the future will help the company's development.

I have contacted the lobbying company on K Street, and they will help contact other shareholders. Like me, shareholders who feel that the company has problems, maybe I will also be interviewed and are finalizing the meeting time with Bloomberg News. Other shareholders will realize that the current system of the board of directors is an obstacle to the company's decision-making lag. I will request that the entire board of directors be replaced and the next director will be elected again according to the shareholders' wishes."

This is what Jobs is most worried about. He doesn't want to make a fuss until now. However, Mr. Campbell is indeed a bit aggressive and he can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head. Why is this independent director insisting on fighting against Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder?

All the things to be said have been said, and it is useless to say them. Jobs has put forward a compromise solution and still wants to make things worse. He told him via phone: "I have solicited the doctor's opinions and will adopt conservative treatment methods next, so maybe we don't have to argue about the candidate for interim CEO..."
