Chapter 40 The Importance of Paper Shredders

Zhao Meng's movements are very fast, as a local snake in San Francisco, one of the people in the Chinese circle in San Francisco, some things are very easy for him to do.

The 80 million euro notes worth 500 euros were told to him by Yang Jing in the morning, and they had been replaced by green Franklin in the afternoon.

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

At present, the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar is about 1:1.166, and Yang Jing's 80 million euros can be exchanged for more than 93 million US dollars, plus the 8 million US dollars in cash, Yang Jing's account has increased by more than 100 million US dollars at once.

As for the bearer bonds, they are also exchanged very quickly, and some people on Wall Street accept these things, especially since these bonds are 10-year long-term bonds, and most of these bonds were purchased at the end of 2008. In other words, by the end of the year, those who hold these bonds will not only be able to redeem the principal, but will also receive a lot of interest.

The $200 million U.S. Treasury bonds, like those of these Treasury bonds, were issued after the subprime mortgage crisis, so the interest rates on these Treasury bonds are relatively high, such as the interest rate on the 10-year Treasury bonds, which is close to 4%. In order to sell these treasury bonds quickly, Yang Jing asked Zhao Meng to exchange them without interest and only on the principal, so as soon as these treasury bonds appeared on Wall Street, they were directly swallowed by some predators.

The same is true for the government bonds of other countries, so they are quickly exchanged.

In just two days, Zhao Meng injected another $600 million into Yang Jing's account.

Of course, this account is an account specially set up by Yang Jing in Switzerland, although holding US Treasury bonds in the United States, whether it is the principal or interest, can not pay taxes, but the amount is so huge, Yang Jing still did not remit this money to his personal account in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

In the future, activities in the United States will be indispensable, and Yang Jing doesn't want to be targeted by the IRS guys.

As for the gold and diamonds, there is more time to sell, and in order to avoid taxes as much as possible, Zhao Meng also 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 set up an offshore company in Bermuda......

However, the extra $700 million in the account is enough for Yang Jing to fully carry out the development of the Grand Canal.

The exchange of things went smoothly, and Yang Jing's mood was also very good, and after remitting 400 million US dollars to the special account in China, Yang Jing was completely relieved.

That's $400 million enough to support the entire Grand Canal development project.

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

I have been to San Francisco three times, Yang Jing has not yet gone to San Francisco's landmark Golden Gate Bridge, today is free, he took Lin Dan here early in the morning.

Today's weather is very good, the visibility is very high, Yang Jing wore a sportswear and Lin Dan walked along the trail of the bridge to the middle of the bridge, and then looked at the bay area to the west to welcome the arrival of the sunrise.

"Big brother, won't you just watch the sunrise when you pull me here?" Please, I see that this thing has already vomited......" Yang Jing was pulled up before four o'clock, and Lin Dan got up angry.

"Young people need to exercise more, and they can't die if they wake up early. Yang Jing watched the rising sun peeking out of the mountains in the east of the Bay Area, and teased Lin Dan.

"Brother, you're not much older than me, aren't you?" Lin Dan continued to complain.

"Stinky boy, pulling you out is to let you feel the magnificence of the sunrise in the east. ”

"Brother, I don't know how many times I've felt this magnificence since I was a child. ”

"Then feel it again...... If you complain less, you will be punished by complaining again, and you will be punished to go back and write an essay on watching the sunrise. ”

"Uh...... Well, you won, who made you the big brother......"

The sun jumps out very quickly, but I have to admit that watching the sunrise from this kind of volley hanging bridge is really unusual.

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

Lin Dan pursed his lips and said, "What is this? In the future, if you come in winter, I will let you see the scene where the sea of clouds and the sunrise appear together, and that is called beautiful." ”

"Okay, since you said so, when you have the opportunity to come here in winter, you have to let me see the sunrise over the sea of clouds, otherwise, you will be punished for writing essays. ”

"Brother, can we not mention the composition......?

Yang Jing laughed out loud, in a very good mood.

"Brother, did you see that white yacht?"

Yang Jing looked in the direction Lin Dan pointed, and sure enough, he found a huge white yacht, "This yacht is good, it's big enough, it's estimated to cost a lot of money, right?"

"No, brother, didn't you see the origin of this yacht?" Lin Dan looked at Yang Jing with a surprised expression, it seemed that Yang Jing did not recognize this yacht It was a very appalling thing.

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't you recognize that this yacht was guilty? Or is this yacht very famous?"

Lin Dan looked like he was completely defeated, "Brother, you are also a billionaire now, let's not behave so much, okay?" There are some things even if you don't have them now, but you need to understand them, and when you 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 with a tilt of his head.

"Let's just say that. Lin Dan condescendingly pointed to the white yacht that was about to enter the open sea through the Golden Gate Bridge, "Larry Ellison knows, right? David Geffen knows?"

Yang Jing nodded, of course he knew about Larry Ellison and his Oracle company, and as for David Geffen, the American entertainment giant who once co-founded DreamWorks with Hollywood director Spielberg, Yang Jing had also heard of it.

"The yacht's name is the Rising Sun. It was first built at great expense by Larry Ellison and later transferred to David Geffen. Lin Dan explained.

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

"That's right, this yacht is the one you said you were. Eight years ago, however, the yacht had a new owner, and David Geffen was the new owner. ”

"I've heard of that, and I think I've heard that there was an interesting thing about this yacht when it was born, and it seems to have something to do with Bill Gates?"

Lin Dan shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Yang, some very interesting things did happen to this yacht when it was born, but it was not related to Bill Gates, but to Paul Allen, Gates's partner. ”

"Oh, you know that? Tell me, I'm idle anyway. Yang Jing turned around and leaned his back on the railing of the bridge, since it involved Oracle and Microsoft, Yang Jing was a little interested, after all, in the time and space of 1987, the Evil Dragon Fund he controlled was now acquiring the shares of Microsoft and Oracle, and in the upcoming stock market crash, the Evil Dragon Foundation increased its holdings of many shares of these two companies.

"In fact, the things that happened when this yacht was born have been foreshadowed for a long time. Brother Yang, you should know that Oracle and Microsoft have been at odds with each other, right?"

Yang Jing nodded, although he was not kicked by a dog, he still knew the contradictions between the two giants in the IT industry.

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

Just look at Larry Ellison's nickname to know what kind of personality this guy is. That's right, this guy's personality is extremely strong, especially for his peers, and he doesn't admit defeat at all.

Of course, the main reference to his peers here is Bill Gates, who is eleven years younger than him but has always been the head of Larry Ellison in personal wealth.

Ellison is eleven years older than Gates, and the two companies were established at about the same time, and they are both engaged in the IT industry, but as a result, no matter how hard Ellison tries, he has never been able to compete with Gates, and even now, Ellison is still not Gates's opponent.

The two men had been fighting since the '80s, and by the '90s, the rivalry had reached its climax, when Larry Ellison was not satisfied with the way the wealth rankings were calculated – he was the richest man in the world if he did it the way he did. So Ellison, who has been suppressed by Microsoft and Gates in the second position, has been working hard to find ways to kill Gates and his Microsoft.

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

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

This incident tells the world the importance of paper shredders!

Bill Gates was so angry with Ellison's abnormal tactics that he couldn't help but scold Oracle for being vile in front of the media: "Look at the sanctimonious companies that do such a despicable and obscene thing to their competitors!" But the initiator was very proud, and Ellison was not only quick to admit that he did everything, but also proudly declared "I am happy with what I have done".

Since then, the relationship between Ellison and Microsoft has been concluded. The giants of the two top IT companies are not shy of pinching each other, no matter which side has any good things, the other side will always stick sideways, just can't make the opponent feel good.

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 is one of the jokes of the beginning of the new century that made the world laugh.
