Wall Street Legend - Chapter 419
Chapter 419 Maybe I can help you
Nasdaq Stock Exchange entrance.
Ye Dongqing stood there, surrounded by reporters, security guards, investors, company employees, etc., and it was almost the end of the show.
Blocked by bodyguards and security guards, the homeless man said this to Ye Dongqing from a long distance away, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his clothes were old but clean, and his messy hair was enough to show his identity.
There are also slovenly homeless, but as long as there is no problem with the spirit, the homeless in New York can make do with their lives, occasionally spending some time on dressing, and occasionally finding a lot of good things from old suitcases .
If it was normal, Ye Dongqing might not pick up the other party, at most he would just put a smile on his face, but recently he was in a bad mood.
Having money like this, love is also good. My daughter is growing up healthy and healthy. Last month, she called her father for the first time. She is more than one year old and looks cute as a mixed race.
Logically speaking, he should be very, very contented, but he feels more and more that there is something missing in his life, or that he lacks a goal that makes him feel worth spending time fighting for.
Running a successful company, this sense of accomplishment has been experienced a lot, and it naturally becomes indifferent, and money has completely become a string of numbers on the rich list. He feels that he should be able to live a more fulfilling life.
It takes time to accept this change in mentality, the first thing to do is not to rush.
After hearing what the homeless man said, Ye Dongqing smiled and replied: “If you think the tent is not practical, then sell it to those in need. I didn’t think about it. Maybe money is more useful to you, but you You should also know that if you give money, some people will use it to buy contraband and things that don’t help their lives.”
The other party thought for a while, nodded affirmatively and said: “You are right, you must not give the money directly, and it may be robbed by others. No matter what, I still have to say thank you to you. I saw you in the newspaper for us. These homeless people donate a lot of things.”
The old man’s conversation and etiquette surprised Ye Dongqing.
Rich or not, they are still human in essence, and they did not think that they are superior to others because of their achievements. They walked down the stairs and approached and asked: “Sir, what kind of job did you do before, don’t you have any children? Like now This is not a long-term solution, you should find a decent job and make yourself better off.”
The old man shrugged and said, “I think so too, but since I turned fifty, almost no shops are willing to accept me to work there, and I can’t even apply for the job of dumping garbage in the community. Since my house was taken away by the bank, I have been wandering on the street for more than three years. I once entered the stock exchange like you to speculate in stocks, but I only had more than 20,000 US dollars. Later, because of the **** SUN company, I lost all of it.
No one cares about me, my wife went to heaven before me, so be it, there are not many years to live anyway. I used to be a worker in a wire factory, you know? It is the wires buried in the ground. Maybe there are wires I made in the past. The quality is very reliable. Later, because the factory was moved to Asia, I couldn’t keep it. “
The tone is very calm, as if talking about other people’s affairs.
There are only a few reasons for becoming homeless in the United States. One is laziness, the other is mental problems, and the third is despair of life, or physical disabilities, diseases, etc. Normal people are considered poor. Under the welfare system of farming and raising idlers, at least you can earn a living. There is a small old house to live in. It’s true that the housing prices in Manhattan are high, but not all cities are Manhattan, and the rent in some places is pitifully low. For example, some small towns in New Jersey adjacent to New York State.
Ye Dongqing felt that this old man might belong to the third category, who was desperate for life.
At this moment, he clearly realized that his recent groaning was simply hypocritical. How many people in the world would not want to have what he has now?
Young, healthy body, amazing wealth, etc. After comparing, I found that I am very good now, and I am not really just waiting to die. I clearly still have the opportunity and strength to do something for more people.
He twitched his head and said, “Maybe I can help you.”
After a while, Ye Dongqing’s tone was affirmative, and she added: “Yes, I am willing to help you, rent a small house for you, and give you another sum of money to live a normal life again. I usually don’t do this , but I have a better impression of you, that’s why I help you.”
“Then what do you need from me?”
Don’t believe that pies will fall from the sky, the old man replied rationally.
“You don’t need anything, as long as you have a relatively good life. If possible, in the future, you can help others like me through your own efforts. This is what I want you to do.”
When Ye Dongqing was talking, the bodyguards around him looked at him with strange expressions. In their opinion, he was full and had nothing to do, but whoever made him his own boss, as long as he was happy, he didn’t have much money anyway.
To be honest, working for Ye Dongqing can make these bodyguards feel good. After all, the only flaw is that they are fickle. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. It is very possible to go too far, and it is possible to be a groom every night.
The old man didn’t hesitate this time, only the fool hesitated. He nodded resolutely, and replied with a smile: “Well, anyway, I have nothing and nothing to lose. What should I do?”
He wrote a check in the amount of 50,000 U.S. dollars, and Ye Dongqing handed it to a bodyguard and said, “Take him to buy some clothes first, then take a bath, cut his hair, shave his beard, and then rent a house in the downtown area. What you want to do with the money in the future is your own business, but I will only give it once.”
After being called by the boss, the white bodyguard reluctantly accepted the check. In his opinion, such a good deed should not be done at all. The money given to the homeless will only be spent quickly, and then live the current life. This wandering life.
After agreeing, I took the old man away first to buy clothes, no matter what I thought in my heart, just follow the boss’s instructions.
Helping others, Ye Dongqing can also get some happiness out of it, it’s just possible to save someone’s life, the price is only one and a half royal million dollar cigars, or a glass of old wine from the 19th century , the mood immediately improved a lot.
Stretching and walking back, he looked at the numbers on the big screen again.
Whatsapp went public in this way, and its market value currently stands at more than 10.61 billion US dollars. He doesn’t know if it is enough, but it should have surpassed Gates in March 2006 to become the richest person in the world. people…
