Wall Street Legend - Chapter 448

   Chapter 448 icar

  Mr. McCord’s reminder is correct, there are indeed too many people tonight.

   Not to mention nervousness, there must be a little bit of worry. Laura quickly left with the child, entered the special elevator and handed it over to the nanny to take care of it. Accompanied by bodyguards, she first sent her upstairs to rest, while she continued to go shopping with her friends.

  Even the grandest party will come to an end. The Cobra Building opened, and almost half of the citizens of New York City visited it. After more than half a month of excitement, it returned to normal.

It became a new landmark in New York just after it opened, attracting countless tourists, and the whole Hudson Square became lively, and the surrounding housing prices skyrocketed. This kind of thing has almost never happened before. In comparison, it is only high The Burj Khalifa has fallen behind and is not valued by people.

  A huge “cobra” is now looking down on the whole of Manhattan every night, which really makes the city cooler. Ye Dongqing recently lived on the top floor of this building, and occasionally took time to visit the company.

   At the entrance on the first floor, the best location.

   On one side is the Ferrari booth, and on the other side is Apple’s flagship store. At the end of March, there was an extra car in the Apple store. It looks very cool, just like a sports car.

  With a huge investment of funds, coupled with the cooperation of major automotive research institutes, the electric car project that was originally planned to be manufactured is nearing completion, and road tests are about to begin, followed by production and launch.

  Different from Tesla, Tesla chooses to build a powerful supercar first, and then pulls the brand and then builds the main product that consumers can accept.

Apple, on the other hand, has given up flashy high-performance sports cars from the very beginning. The cool Apple car in the showroom is almost the first flagship product finalized. The price is expected to be around 150,000 US dollars. The span is not large, 150,000 to 200,000 US dollars, nothing more than changes in the length of battery life, color, wheels, etc. The cruising range is 230 miles and 330 miles, which is enough for normal urban transportation. The appearance of this model is not inferior to the coupe model of Panamera, and the color matching is more cool.

  Only Ye Dongqing knows it. It refers to the design language of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT four-door version in memory. It is quite brilliant in terms of materials and appearance design.

As soon as it was transported into the store today, it attracted a large number of reporters and tourists who came here admiringly. The three floors inside and the three floors outside almost crowded the store. It is a pity that there is no automatic driving function. The automatic driving laboratory he created has not produced any dazzling finished products, and it will take some time.

With an estimated price of more than 100,000 US dollars, this product named iCar-S is destined to become one of the few mid-to-high-production toys. More civilian products are still being designed and are expected to be launched next year, that is, in 2011. , smaller in size and shorter in cruising range, this is Ye Dongqing’s flagship product that Ye Dongqing hopes to subvert the existing car manufacturing market. The car is not easy to be noticed by passers-by.

Before holding a special press conference, the concept car that is about to be finalized has been unveiled first. It is indeed easier for a rich and large company to do something. Tesla is still struggling with the problem of capital chain. Mr. Jobs originally wanted to acquire it, but unfortunately a group of shareholders, especially Elon Musk, refused to agree. Now there is no need to acquire it. After investing nearly 6 billion US dollars, Apple’s electric vehicle technology reserves have far exceeded Tesla, an electric car factory, and a super battery factory are now being built in the Santa Clara area.

In the early stage, most of them will not make money, and they will lose a little by selling one car. However, Ye Dongqing, the major shareholder, strongly supports it. With the addition of the iPhone series, the iPad tablet computer released at the end of last year has also become a sharp weapon for attracting money. Even though some Apple shareholders complained about burning Qian is powerful, but he will not really jump out to object, because no one dares to say that he has a better vision than Ye Dongqing, not to mention that the process of building cars has been going smoothly. He also said that as long as he has lost money for five consecutive years, he is willing to According to the expenses, the entire department will be spun off from Apple and he will take over.

   As a result, other shareholders are unwilling to let go.

Recently, because the stock price of a single share is too high, which is not conducive to the circulation of transactions, Apple’s board of directors decided to split five shares for one share. Ye Dongqing is still the major shareholder holding more than 60% of the shares. Use your voice to force decisions.

To be honest, when I saw this iCar·S, Ye Dongqing regretted that he used Apple to build electric cars. Judging from the current situation, he lost more or less. Now that Tesla has succeeded, he feels that he This time, too, it will be more successful.

Two products are expected to be launched next year, and the entry price is likely to be lowered to 40,000 US dollars. As long as the product is good enough, it should be profitable in a few years. It is already talking to Washington about building a charging station. Funding is not a problem for the expansion of key cities in the west to the central part, and it is easier to do so.

This is just a small point in Ye Dongqing’s huge business landscape, and it is not even comparable to Android companies. Last year, the global Android smartphone shipments reached more than 14 million units, and the licensing alone earned more than 200 million US dollars. , The income of advertising is higher. With the rise of smart phones, it directly drives the development of a group of Internet companies.

  Many of his random actions have become the coveted success in the eyes of others.

Looking at hedge funds, assets worth billions of dollars in the past have soared all the way to more than 60 billion dollars, and compound interest does not pay dividends. Recently, they have just made another fortune from the gold market. Excluding the money belonging to customers, it belongs to Ye Dongqing’s total assets are more than 20 billion U.S. dollars. The group of people who believed in him back then have made a lot of money, successfully avoided the subprime mortgage crisis that evaporated trillions of U.S. dollars, and made a fortune.

Ye Dongqing persuaded and stopped them, but those Wall Street businessmen are still dying. No wonder he made a fortune by entering the market. Nowadays, most of the funds are invested in the upstream of the smart product industry chain such as LCD screens and processors. The layout is relatively early. , the purchase price is low and the return is high, so he doesn’t need to worry too much, but he can earn a lot of money.

   On the top floor of the Cobra Building, a new day has just begun.

  Laura went to England to attend a friend’s wedding party, while he stayed at home and was successfully awakened by his son and daughter. Lying on the bed and seeing the two smiling faces beside the bed, he felt an indescribable wonderful feeling in his heart.

  Because of his gift, the two little guys were born billionaires, but they didn’t know it, they were still at an age where they didn’t care about money, everything seemed so natural.

  He said to his daughter Ye Ying: “Take my brother out to play first, and I will talk to you later, about your going to school…”
