Easy Tycoon

Chapter 398 The Importance of Shredders

Zhao Meng's actions are very fast. As a local snake in San Francisco and one of the talkers in the Chinese circle in San Francisco, some things are very easy for him to do.

The 8000 million euro banknotes with a face value of [-], which Yang Jing told him in the morning, had already been replaced with the green Franklin in the afternoon.

Although the euro cannot be circulated in the United States, many Americans are keen to hype the euro, especially the gang of vampires on Wall Street.

现在欧元对美元的汇率大约维持在1:1.166的水平，杨靖的这8000万欧元能兑换九千300多万美元，再加上那800万美元的现钞，杨靖的账户上一下子就多了1亿多美元。

As for the bearer bonds, the exchange rate is also very fast. Some people on Wall Street accept these things, especially these bonds are ten-year long-term bonds, and most of these bonds were purchased at the end of 2008.That is to say, those who hold these bonds by the end of this year can not only exchange the principal, but also get a lot of interest.

The 4 million U.S. treasury bonds among these treasury bonds were issued after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, so the interest rate of this batch of treasury bonds is relatively high, and the ten-year interest rate is already close to [-]%.In order to sell these national debts quickly, Yang Jing asked Zhao Meng not to charge interest when exchanging them, but only to charge the principal. Therefore, these national debts were swallowed by some predators as soon as they appeared on Wall Street.
The same is true for national bonds of other countries, so they can be exchanged quickly.

In just two days, Zhao Meng deposited another [-] million US dollars into Yang Jing's account.

Of course, this account was specially set up by Yang Jing in Switzerland. Although holding U.S. treasury bonds in the United States, no matter whether it is the principal or the interest, you don’t need to pay taxes, but the amount is so huge, Yang Jing still didn’t put it in order to avoid unnecessary troubles. The funds are remitted to your personal account.

Activities in the United States are indispensable in the future, and Yang Jing does not want to be targeted by the guys from the IRS.

As for those gold and diamonds, it takes more time to sell them, and in order to avoid tax as much as possible, Zhao Meng needs to sell these diamonds and gold through many reasonable tax avoidance methods, and even in order to sell these precious gold and diamonds, he Formation of an offshore company in Bermuda.
However, the [-] million U.S. dollars in the account is enough for Yang Jing to fully develop the Grand Canal.

The things were exchanged smoothly, and Yang Jing was in a good mood. After remitting [-] million US dollars to the special account in China, Yang Jing was completely at ease.

The [-] million US dollars is enough to support the development of the entire Grand Canal.

After finishing this matter, Yang Jing took Lin Dan and walked up to the Golden Gate Bridge. Chris and the others were still secretly protecting them.

I have been to San Francisco three times, and Yang Jing has not visited the iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Today is just free, so he brought Lin Dan here early in the morning.

Today's weather is fine and the visibility is high. Wearing a sportswear and Lin Dan, Yang Jing and Lin Dan walked along the trail to the middle of the bridge, and then looked towards the bay area to the west to welcome the sunrise.

"Brother, you pulled me here just to watch the sunrise, right? Please, I'm sick of seeing this thing." Yang Jing pulled me up before four o'clock, and Lin Dan got up angrily.

"Young people need to exercise more. Getting up early won't kill you." Yang Jing flirted with Lin Dan while looking at the sun rising from the mountains east of the Bay Area.

"Brother, you are not much older than me, right?" Lin Dan continued to complain.

"Stinky boy, I pulled you out to let you feel the magnificence of the sunrise in the east."

"Brother, I don't know how many times I have experienced this kind of magnificence since I was a child."

"Then feel it again. Stop complaining, and if you complain again, you will be punished to go back and write an essay about watching the sunrise."

"Uh well, you won, who made you the big brother?"

The sun pops out very fast, but I have to admit that watching the sunrise on this volley-hanging bridge feels really unusual.

"Very beautiful!" Yang Jing couldn't help but praise.

Lin Dan curled his lips and said, "What does that count? If you come in winter in the future, I'll show you the scene where the sea of ​​clouds and the sunrise appear together. That will be beautiful."

"Okay, since you said that, when you have a chance to come here in winter, you have to let me see the sunrise in the sea of ​​clouds, otherwise, you will be fined to write an essay."

"Brother, can we stop talking about composition? Pulis"

Yang Jing laughed out loud, feeling extremely good.

"Brother, have you seen that white yacht?"

Yang Jing followed the direction pointed by Lin Dan, and found a huge white yacht, "This yacht is not bad, it's big enough, it probably costs a lot of money, right?"

"No way, brother, don't you see the origin of this yacht?" Lin Dan looked at Yang Jing in surprise, it seemed that Yang Jing didn't recognize this yacht, which was a very shocking thing.

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders, "Is it a crime not to recognize this yacht? Or is this yacht famous? But whether this yacht is famous or not is none of my business!"

Lin Dan looked completely defeated, "Brother, you are a billionaire now anyway, let's not act like this, okay? There are some things that you don't have now, but you need to understand, wait for you to understand Enough, then you can have those things. Because those things are the existence that embodies the true value of a man."

"For example, this yacht?" Yang Jing asked Lin Dan, tilting his head.

"You can put it this way." Lin Dan pointed condescendingly at the white yacht that was about to enter the open sea through the Golden Gate Bridge, "Does Larry Ellison know? Does David Geffen know?"

Yang Jing nodded. Of course Larry Ellison and his Oracle company knew about it. As for David Geffen, the American entertainment giant who once formed DreamWorks with Hollywood director Spielberg, Yang Jing also knew about it. heard.

"The name of this yacht is Rising Sun. It was first built by Larry Ellison with a huge investment, and later transferred to David Geffen." Lin Dan explained.

"This yacht is Larry Ellison's Rising Sun?" Yang Jing was really a little surprised, and he didn't expect to be able to appreciate this ultra-luxury yacht that was once the largest in the world up close on the Golden Gate Bridge. .

"That's right, this yacht is the one you mentioned. But as early as eight years ago, this yacht has changed to a new owner, and David Geffen is the new owner of this ship."

"I've heard of this, and I seem to have heard that there was an interesting incident when this yacht was born. It seems to be related to Bill Gates?"

Lin Dan shook his head with a smile and said, "Brother Yang, something very interesting happened to this yacht when it was born, but it was not related to Bill Gates, but to Gates' partner Paul A. about Lun."

"Oh, you know about this? Tell me, you are idle anyway." Yang Jing turned around and leaned his back on the railing of the bridge. Since Oracle and Microsoft were involved, Yang Jing became a little interested After all, in the time and space of 1987, the Dragon Fund controlled by him is now buying the stocks of Microsoft and Oracle, and in the coming stock market crash, the Dragon Fund will increase its holdings of a lot of the stocks of these two companies.

"Actually, the events that happened when this yacht was born have already been paved a long time ago. Brother Yang, you should know that Oracle and Microsoft have never dealt with each other, right?"

Yang Jing nodded. Although he was not kicked, he was aware of the conflict between the two giants in the IT industry.

In fact, this contradiction is more derived from Larry Ellison, who has the nickname "Madman".

Just by looking at Larry Ellison's nickname, you can tell what kind of character this guy is.That's right, this guy's personality is extremely strong, especially for his colleagues, he will never admit defeat.

Of course, the peers mentioned here mainly refer to Bill Gates who is 11 years younger than him, but has always surpassed Larry Ellison in terms of personal wealth.

Ellison is 11 years older than Gates, and their companies were established around the same time, and they are both engaged in the IT industry. However, no matter how hard Ellison tried, he could not compete with Gates. Even now, Ellison Sen is still no match for Gates.

The two have been fighting since the 80s of last century. In the 90s, this kind of competition reached its peak. Because Larry Ellison was dissatisfied with the current calculation method of wealth ranking - if calculated according to his method, he himself He is the richest man in the world.So Ellison, who has been suppressed by Microsoft and Gates as the second child, has been trying his best to kill Gates and his Microsoft.

In order to defeat Gates, Ellison even did not hesitate to use some dirty tricks, but he was still helpless against Gates.

In 1994, in order to deal with Microsoft, Ellison hired a Microsoft cleaning lady to help him engage in "Infernal Affairs" activities, and finally found clues to deal with Microsoft from Microsoft's trash can.When Microsoft suddenly received an indictment from the U.S. Department of Justice about one of its bundling sales practices, Microsoft executives, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, were caught off guard for a while.This is the "garbage door" incident that caused a sensation in the IT world.

This incident tells the world the importance of paper shredders!
Bill Gates was very angry with Ellison's abnormal means, and he, who has always been steady, couldn't help scolding Oracle's despicableness in front of the media: "Look at those sanctimonious companies. Such a vile and nasty thing to do!" However, the perpetrator was very proud, and Ellison not only quickly admitted that everything was his own doing, but also proudly declared that "I am very satisfied with what I have done."

Since then, the relationship between Ellison and Microsoft has been concluded.The giants of the two top IT companies fought each other without hesitation. No matter what good things happen to one of them, the other will always intervene, just not to make the opponent feel better.

And this kind of competition has gradually extended from the simple business competition at the beginning to all aspects of life.

Among them, the yacht dispute between Ellison and Paul Allen can be regarded as a joke that made the whole world laugh at the beginning of the new century.
