Chapter 174: The Sunset at Golden Gate
The accommodation was in a hotel not far from the Golden Gate Bridge, in the room, through the large floor-to-ceiling windows. If you write "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info you can see the famous Golden Gate Bridge, you can also see Yerba Buena Island in the middle of the bridge, and if you look north, you can see Alcatraz, a famous prison for felons in the United States......
At this time, it was dusk, and the dusk sunset crossed the long red bridge, and met the golden sea, pulling out a long golden shadow, all of which constituted an extremely brilliant picture of the sunset over Kinmen.
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 well-known bridge in the world, and has been named after the White House, the Empire State Building, the Capitol Building, President Hill, the Pentagon, the Statue of Liberty and other buildings, and has 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 movies, especially in disaster movies!
Standing in front of the window, Yang Fan hugged Lin Yao in his arms, admiring the spectacular scene in front of him, "taking the time to go around ......"
Gently leaning on Yang Fan's chest, holding the camera at the scenery of the melting people, Lin Yao felt as if it had melted, and nodded lightly when she heard the words.
The hair brushes over the tip of the nose, which makes people itch......
As soon as Yang Fan wanted to lower his head, the doorbell of the guest room suddenly rang, kissed Lin Yao on the cheek, walked to open the door, and saw Liu Qingfeng standing at the door with James.
"Hey, Yang, didn't bother you!" Seeing Yang Fan, James waved his hand and greeted him as if he were familiar.
"No, no, please come in!" Seeing the two coming together, Yang Fan hurriedly invited.
Entering the suite, the two saw Lin Yao who was putting down the camera, and then glanced outside through the floor-to-ceiling window, James smiled, "You are really lucky people, as soon as you came, you saw the famous sunset over the Golden Gate!" ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa in the living room of the three-person 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, "We came here to ask how your itinerary is arranged......
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 to 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 today 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.
Yang Fan nodded, "Silicon Valley is definitely going to go!" ”
Liu Qingfeng said, "By the way, if you want to set up an investment company in offshore financial centers such as the Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands, James Company has relevant business, and you can leave it to him 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.
Seeing James looking at him with concern, Yang Fan was also refreshed, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll look for you then!" ”
After all, Yang Fan will first find a lawyer to consult about the establishment of an investment company, and at the same time hire a lawyer, and the accountant will deal with this matter later!
Seeing Yang Fan agree, James grinned and gave Yang Fan a thumbs up, "I'll just say that Chinese are the most friends." By the way, I have the phone number of the largest law firm in the Bay Area, and no matter what you're going to do in the U.S., I recommend that you first get a lawyer to come over. Of course, I think you also need an experienced accountant......"
After chatting in the room for a while, Yang Fan discussed the itinerary in the United States with the two, and then called Zheng Hao, and James was the east to pick up the wind for the group.
Since James is the east, the food is naturally Western, and the location is in the hotel's own western restaurant. Because the hotel is of a relatively high grade, the Western food is not bad, but Yang Fan is still not used to it......
At the dinner table, James and Liu Qingfeng argued about when the Internet boom would end, and now investors in Silicon Valley are most concerned about this news.
The stock price soared from $28 to $75 on the same day, and the market value of the company established less than a year ago exceeded $3 billion on the day of listing, detonating the Internet economy. By '96, Yahoo, which had a turnover of 1.3 million yuan that year and a net loss of more than 600,000 yuan in profit, soared to $500 million in market value as soon as it went public, which pushed up the wave.
It's just that now Netscape, which used to be one of the NASDAQ take-off Peugeot, has collapsed and was acquired by AOL. Yahoo's earnings trend is becoming more and more disappointing, and the so-called more stable Internet companies such as Amazon are still completely unable to support the Nasdaq, so it is normal for the Nasdaq to avalanche when Microsoft has problems next year.
Yang Fan said a lot about this Western meal, but he only ate half full, but although he only ate half full, Yang Fan estimated that this Western meal would cost at least a thousand dollars!
What a pit!
After eating, Zheng Hao did not leave in a hurry and went back to his room, but followed Yang Fan and Lin Yao into the suite together.
At this time, the lights outside the window are on, and the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge are naturally lit up, looking at the past condescendingly, like a fire dragon locking the Kinmen Strait, and the traffic is like a flowing river of lights, which is extremely beautiful......
Looking at the beautiful scenery, Yang Fan suddenly said, "Let's get two packs of instant noodles!" ”
Lin Yao, "......"
After eating tens of thousands of Western food, and then eating instant noodles, can you still be unreliable?
Waiting for Lin Yao to go to order instant noodles, Zheng Hao also went to help get the alcohol stove he just bought, and mixed a bowl of noodles by the way.
Yang Fan sat in front of the sofa, looking at the scenery outside the window, thinking about this new wave of technology, not to mention Microsoft or anything, now almost all technology stocks are rising wildly, and Apple has been performing well since Jobs returned to power.
Thinking of Jobs, Yang Fan seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper from his luggage.
After a while, Lin Yao came over with a bowl of instant noodles, and saw that Yang Fan was lying on the table drawing something, so he put the instant noodles in his hand, glanced sideways, and said, "You can draw after eating, don't be cold!" ”
There was a peeled ham sausage floating in the instant noodles, as well as two boiled eggs, which made people have a great appetite when they looked at it, Yang Fan put down the pen and ate it with hula......
When Yang Fan was eating noodles, Lin Yao picked up the A4 paper and saw a square thing outlined on it.
It just so happened that Zheng Hao was also holding an instant noodle bowl, snoring, and walked up, glanced at Lin Yao's hand, and then asked curiously, "What are you drawing, flat box cigarettes?" ”
Yang Fan swallowed the braised egg in his mouth, and said when he heard the words, "If I say that this is a mobile phone, do you believe it?" ”
Hearing this, Zheng Hao looked at Yang Fan with disdain, and continued to pull the instant noodles into his mouth, and almost wrote three words on his face, deceiving ghosts!
Lin Yao flipped over the A4 paper and looked at it twice, but she couldn't connect the things drawn on the paper with her mobile phone.
The most popular mobile phone in this year is Nokia. Don't say anything about the flip cover, rotation, it is a straight board machine, and most of them have a bit of curve arc, and they are narrow and thick, which is completely different from the square, wide and thin things painted on it.
