Chapter 174: The Sunset at Golden Gate
Out of the airport, Silicon Valley is in the south, but the car is heading north to San Francisco......
After entering the city of San Francisco, you can reduce your speed, and when you pass through Chinatown, you can still see the antique Chinese buildings not far away, which are even more Chinese than most cities in China......
Seeing this, Yang Fan smiled bitterly, which is not a sarcasm. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The translator on the other side saw Yang Fan's expression and said with deep sympathy, "I didn't feel it before, but since I came abroad, I have returned to China and seen that many traditional buildings have been demolished, which is really a pity!" ”
Bemoan......
Yang Fan is thinking about the next ten years, and there will be a lot of sighs!
It's only ninety-nine years now......
This translator's name is Wang Zetian, less than twenty-six or seven, he is very gentle, with a pair of gold-wire glasses, and a decent suit makes people very energetic.
He is not Chinese, his nationality is still Chinese, he went abroad to study in 94, and is now studying for a doctorate in computer science at Stanford University.
Now Wang Zetian is taking advantage of the summer to earn some living expenses, and Yang Fan has not had time to ask about the specific research direction, but he is studying for a doctorate in computer science at Stanford, and he may become a big bull in a certain aspect after returning to China for a few years!
In fact, Yang Fan is quite strange, does this kind of person need to be a translator?
You must know that next to Silicon Valley, he is a Ph.D. student at Stanford, how can he find a more suitable job than translation!
It's just that Yang Fan and Wang Zetian are also new acquaintances, so it's not easy to ask these words.
In fact, Wang Zetian was also very curious about Yang Fan, and he heard James's words just now.
James is quite famous in Silicon Valley, at least Wang Zetian has heard this name more than once. He has always been known for his accurate investment vision. But it's just one person. In just the past two days, Wang Zetian has heard the word genius from James's mouth several times. And every time the object is Yang Fan!
If you want to talk about Silicon Valley, there is no shortage of all kinds of geniuses, and James, as an investor, is used to seeing all kinds of geniuses.
In this case, how powerful will a person who James is so full of praise be?
Especially when this man was an eighteen-year-old boy!
Accommodation is on a hotel not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. In the room, you can see the famous Golden Gate Bridge through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. It was dusk, and the dusk sun crossed the long red bridge and met the golden sea. Pulling out a long golden shadow, everything constitutes an extremely brilliant picture of the sunset over the Golden Gate......
Lin Yao held the camera, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and snapped this beautiful scene.
The Golden Gate Bridge is the most recognizable bridge in the world, along with the White House, the Empire State Building, the Capitol, President Hill, and the Pentagon. The Statue of Liberty and other buildings have become one of the iconic buildings in the United States.
Destruction of the Earth, Rise of the Planet, x3......
The Golden Gate Bridge has been featured in many films. Especially in disaster movies!
Standing in front of the window, Yang Fan admired this magnificent mirror image and whispered to Lin Yao next to him......
The doorbell of the guest room rang. After kissing Lin Yao, who was still taking pictures, Yang Fan went and opened the door. saw Liu Qingfeng standing at the door with James.
"Please come in!"
Seeing the two of them coming together, Yang Fan hurriedly invited.
As soon as I came in. The two of them saw Lin Yao who was putting down the camera, and then glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window, and James smiled, "You are really lucky people, you saw the famous sunset over Kinmen as soon as you came!" ”
After that, James walked in and said with a smile, "I just don't know if you're lucky enough to see the Golden Gate in the mist!" ”
The three of them walked as they spoke, and sat down on the sofa in the living room of the suite.
After Lin Yao put down the camera, she took out the tea leaves from her luggage and made a cup of tea for everyone.
Taking the tea from Lin Yao's hand, Liu Qingfeng took a sip, put it on the coffee table, and asked, "How are you ......going to arrange your trip?"
Without waiting for Yang Fan to answer, James, who was sitting on the other side, began to do his landlord's friendship, "I recommend going to see the Bay Area, Fisherman's Wharf, and by the way, go around Chinatown." Although you have seen the sunset over Kinmen, I still recommend that you go and see it in person, because Kinmen was never just a bridge, it was seen by the voters of the Bay Area at the time. From the day it was built, it has been a symbol and symbol of the Bay Area, and it also represents the spiritual ...... of the Bay Area."
After saying the Golden Gate Bridge, James smiled, "Of course, if you come, you must go to Silicon Valley to see it......"
Silicon Valley, another name for California's Santa Clara Valley, is not far from the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. It is only a few dozen kilometers away from where Yang Fan stays, and now it is almost the center of the world's IT industry.
Silicon Valley was first named after the research and production of silicon-based semiconductor chips.
Yang Fan also knows that even now, even after more than ten years, although the United States and other high-tech areas in the world are constantly developing and growing, Silicon Valley is still the pioneer of high-tech technology innovation and development, and the free entrepreneurial atmosphere has always been one of the best in the world.
Among other things, all kinds of investment funds in Silicon Valley are extremely active, especially venture capital, which accounts for almost one-third of the total venture capital in the United States.
James is a venture capitalist who spends a lot of time in San Jose or San Francisco, which is why he's so familiar with it. Liu Qingfeng, before returning to China, was also a person who often stayed in San Jose and San Francisco!
That's how the two met, and then worked together on several successful projects before becoming good friends.
James took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth and said, "Speaking of which, Chinese tea is the most authentic, and I have been to Chinatown a few times to buy it, and it is not a taste at all!" In your words, pit man! That's right, the pit man! ”
Listening to a foreigner speaking authentic Chinese, especially the indignation of the pit people, is especially funny.
In this regard, Liu Qingfeng pouted and explained, "We Chinese never pit people, that is when they look at a foreigner and kindly take out tea leaves for your taste, don't know the good heart!" ”
James pursed his lips, but he didn't say much about this topic to the two, but talked about one of Yang Fan's main purposes, the establishment of offshore investment, "If you want to set up an investment company in offshore financial centers such as the Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, our company will have related business, and you can leave it to me to help you deal with it!" ”
Speaking of these offshore financial centers and tax havens, James is more familiar with them, and it is impossible for an investor not to understand these, otherwise, all kinds of taxes alone can swallow up more than half of their dividends.
In fact, regardless of the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, including the Bahamas, Bermuda, Western Samoa and other famous offshore financial centers, tax havens have countless offshore financial holding companies of major investment companies, and many times equity transactions are carried out between these companies.
It is not to mention the issue of tax or not, but the convenience of transactions and the characteristics of free funds are enough to make people rush to it.
In particular, the domestic foreign exchange regulatory system and political form are ...... Yang Fan needs this means more to ensure freedom, otherwise when it develops to a certain extent, it is likely that if the policy is not mentioned at the critical moment, foreign exchange alone can jam his neck.
It's not just Yang Fan, it's not just the rich in China, the rich people all over the world, and big companies are doing this.
Similarly, if you want to hide the real shareholding structure, it is basically unrealistic to exist without these chaotic companies that are basically out of regulation.
Although the Internet is often a kind of eyeball economy, and a high-profile leader is indispensable, it is impossible to expose everything!
Yang Fan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll look for you then!" ”
After all, Yang Fan will first find a barrister to consult about this matter, and at the same time hire a lawyer before dealing with this matter!
Just thinking about the lawyer, James said empathetically, "I have the phone number of the largest law firm in the Bay Area, no matter what you are going to do in the United States, I recommend that you first hire a lawyer to come over." Of course, I think you also need an accountant. ”
An American, especially a wealthy American, is indispensable to a private lawyer, and you basically can't do without a lawyer in all aspects of your life...... And an accountant will give you a lot of help in your investment and financial management! (To be continued.) )
