Back to 1995

Chapter 473 Final interpretation right
Greg looked at the wine in his hand. The shape of the wine bottle was a bit quaint. The most conspicuous thing was that the body of the bottle was inlaid with gold, platinum, and a large piece of diamonds. Half of the bottle was made of gold shells, and the cap was made of platinum. The crown, the auction house claimed to be inlaid with [-] diamonds.

Whether there are so many diamonds is hard to say, but the wine bottle alone is probably worth a lot. The wine is not for drinking, but basically for collecting and passing on the family. One wine is passed on to ten generations, and people leave The wine is still...

Gleick looked at Henry IV's Doudrónon brandy in his hand, and glanced at Song Yang, knowing that it was specially prepared for him by Song Yang.

"These drinks don't necessarily taste good..."

Greg was talking, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he put away the bottle of brandy.

Greg's words are true. Those wines that are rumored to have been hidden for dozens or hundreds of years are really indescribable. The taste is definitely not as good as that of the freshly made wine.

But those wines are basically used for collection. A bottle of wine costs millions of dollars, and the taste of the wine is hard to describe. Even if you like to collect wine, you probably won’t drink these things, and they are more for observation.

At dinner, Dana personally prepared a large table of meals. Song Yang ate a bite of stewed tomatoes with beef. Dana's craftsmanship was not comparable to those of Italian restaurant chefs, but the taste of these meals was very good, at least Compared with the Chinese food she cooked for Song Yang, the taste is much better.

"Wait until next year, let Milia go to school in San Jose!"

Song Yang ate a few mouthfuls, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to Dana, Song Yang, Greg, and Gallo are basically in San Jose. Although it is not troublesome to come back to Houston, it is impossible to go back and forth every day.

Logan also went to Yale, and now in Houston it's basically just Dana looking after Millia and Amber.

Hearing Song Yang's words, Dana was a little moved, but also a little hesitant. She had lived in Houston for many years and was already familiar with it. She moved to San Jose and was able to be with Greg and the Bruno family, but San Jose was very strange to her.

Greg looked at Daana, who was just like himself, who was starting to be middle-aged, nodded and said, "I'm in San Jose, and I've already picked out a villa. We'll move there together after Millia's summer vacation!"

With Greck's current income, as long as the requirements are not too high, it is not difficult to buy a villa no matter which state in America he is in if he wants that kind of top super luxury house.

"Milia, after a few days, someone will come, you have to take good care of her!"

Song Yang said to Milia, who was busy cooking. Hearing Song Yang's words, Milia immediately became interested, and asked Song Yang, "Who is it?!"

"Li Rouling!"

On the Zhou family's side in Yangcheng, aunt Song Huiqiong's son Zhou Bailin wanted to study in America, and Song Yang was naturally responsible for supporting him.

This time, a group of people from the Zhou family, Song Huiqiong, Zhou Guochang, Zhou Baihui, and Zhou Bailin would all be here, and Zhou Bailin's daughter, Li Rouling, Song Yang's cheap niece, would naturally be included.

"Leave it on me, I will take good care of Li Rouling," Miriam said swearingly, stuttering out Li Rouling's name, and then slapped Amber, "Do you think it's Amber?" ?”

Amber, who was eating deliciously, raised his head with a blank face, and replied with a not-so-clean tongue, "Yes!"

"Milia, don't bully Amber!"

Dianna lectured to Little Miriam, and immediately, the whole dining table was thrown into a frenzy.

After leaving Houston, Song Yang, Greg and others returned to San Jose.

At this time, the Bank of Comelica issued a statement, but it was not noticed by many people. Neither Wall Street nor the banking industry of America had any influence on Comelica, which was still only a "second-tier bank". What concern.

"Comerica Bank has reached a new payment method agreement with the emerging technology company PayPal. Comerica Bank will provide PayPal with services such as settlement centers, overseas payment channels, and offline business points. It is expected that the cooperation will be beneficial to Komei Rica Bank, part of the impact..."

Not many people care about the announcement of the Bank of Comelica, or no one has thought about what PayPal, which has never been heard of, is.

Coincidentally, after Comerica Bank, companies such as Enron, ICQ, America Telecom, eBay, Amazon, etc. also announced in humble positions that they will start cooperation with PayPal.

In such a dense statement and announcement, PayPal was mentioned, which inevitably made people think about it, and also attracted the attention of a group of interested people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, but there was not much news about PayPal at all, even The office location has not been exposed, which makes many people find it intriguing.

Not only the technology industry, but news also came out of Texas. The spokesperson of the state finance department, in an exclusive interview with ICNC TV station, declared that Texas will support more technology companies to enter Texas, and support the emergence of new payment methods. Everything is for Texas state people...

It is not known what PayPal is useful for, and it is hard to say what it is useful for the cowboys in Texas, but anyway, the hat has been buckled up, and if PayPal payment is not supported, it will be difficult for the 2000 million cowboys in Texas!
This is Texas’s issuance of an electronic payment license for PayPal. PayPal’s headquarters has been registered in Houston. In the future, PayPal will be a technology company in Texas.

After returning to Houston, Aaron Swartz began to lead the PayPal development team to get busy, and Fortinet, America Telecom, ICQ and other companies also began to cooperate with PayPal.

Now those problems facing PayPal have been solved, just waiting for PayPal payment to go online.

After Song Yang returned to San Jose, he began to live in seclusion, and turned down many interviews and social gatherings. Except for a few trips to San Jose University to show his face, the rest was between the ICQ office building and the Alcatel mobile phone industrial park. middle.

Right now, PayPal is about to go online, and the North American Global Investment Fund is going to pick up leaks in Southeast Asia. These two things are the kind of business that can't be said. Song Yang doesn't want to be too conspicuous in it.

"An Ran is doing something!"

In the ICQ office building, in Song Yang's office, Marcus picked up a newspaper and read it for a while, then frowned and said to Song Yang.

He came here today to meet with Song Yang, a candidate for the hedge fund department selected by the North American Global Investment Foundation.

Marcus knows how deeply Song Yang is involved with An Ran. Although An Ran has a moth, it will not have too much impact on Song Yang, but he will be implicated a little after all, just like A giant elephant fell down suddenly, and other animals around had to be startled!

"Enron launched the "fair value accounting" model, it is likely that Enron's financial situation is not as good as imagined!"

Marcus looked at the newspaper in his hand. He had been an old financial accountant for decades, and he instinctively felt that there was something tricky in it.

The newspaper in his hand reported Enron's performance in the first half of the year. It exceeded Wall Street's expectations, and its revenue increased by 18%. When the announcement came out, Enron's stock price rose again.

In this performance report, Jeff Skilling, who is in charge of Enron's finances, used many new terms, including the one mentioned by Marcus.

There are many laws in the world, but basically they all follow one rule. Things that you don’t understand are basically either fools or liars. This thing was designed not for people to understand, but for the purpose of mastering the "final explanation" right"!
What Enron plays is one-time calculation of all the profits of an order. It is like signing a ten-year agreement. Whether it really made a profit or lost it, only Enron itself knows, anyway, Enron has already "earned" this year.

There are many other such tricks. Marcus also saw that Enron’s related transactions with himself began to appear in large sums. Accounting Jia is the most familiar with this trick, which is to establish a subsidiary company and sell certain things at high prices to others. Subsidiaries, in this way, they will directly make profits on the books, and as for the losses, they will be borne by the subsidiaries. Whether it is cashing out or making false accounts, it is a big killer!
Seeing An Ran's tricks, Marcus instinctively felt that something might be wrong with An Ran.

After hearing what Marcus said, Song Yang just nodded noncommittally, and replied to Marcus, "America Telecom, ICNC TV, PayPal, etc. are far enough from Enron, and all accounts are clear. of!"

Looking at Song Yang's attitude, Marcus felt that Song Yang didn't seem to have any strange things about Enron's coquettish operations at all, it was more like...prepared for a long time, which made Marcus fall into deep thought, He didn't know if Song Yang had heard something that he didn't know.

For Anran, Song Yang has always maintained a sufficient distance. Even though it seems that the two sides are fighting in full swing, Anran has invested in many companies on Song Yang's side, but in fact, the investment in Anran has always been distinct, and it does not occupy the majority. , It is not difficult to separate from Enron.

Just when Marcus still had doubts in his heart, there was a knock on the door of the office, and under the guidance of personnel, a man in a suit and leather shoes in his 30s was brought in.

Both Song Yang and Marcus looked at the man, and the man in the suit also looked at Song Yang.

Song Yang doesn't care about the man's age. In Wall Street, there is never a shortage of geniuses, and there are countless famous people, especially the "lunatics" who became famous by short selling. If you are not crazy, how dare you If you use all your wealth to go short, then you really won the model in the villa clubhouse, and lost to the people queuing up on the rooftop. There is no way out!
