Back to 1995

Chapter 514
There were a lot of people, and Baumner's design office had invited many designers to join the design drawing team, so it was impossible that there would be no leaks.

When it was heard that Song Yang might invest [-] million US dollars or even more to build a mansion, this matter inevitably spread in the American design circle.

There are not a few great designers who want to join the manor design team. If the salary is not mentioned, his reputation will be greatly improved. Who would not want to join this kind of fame and fortune?
First, an American architectural design magazine broke the news about this matter, and then it spread to the Internet and the technology industry, directly detonating public opinion in America!

The gang of rich people in America, all kinds of ways to burn money are not uncommon. After all, in America, it is said that as long as there are enough dollars, there are only things you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

But even so, in this year, it is rare to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, or even more, on a luxury house.

"The person in charge of the San Jose City Land Department confirmed that the land from No. 94 to No. 99 in the southern suburbs of San Jose has been photographed by the Bruno family for $1280 million, covering an area of ​​more than 70000 square feet, which has exceeded the 66000 square feet of Bill Gates' Seattle mansion. Square feet, affected by this news, land prices in the southern suburbs of San Jose have risen by 14%!"

The southern suburbs of San Jose, nearly half an hour's drive from the city center, are still in an undeveloped state, and the land in the southern suburbs has not been very valuable in recent years.

But this time, after the news of Song Yang wantonly enclosing land in the southern suburbs came out, the land price in the southern suburbs began to soar, and real estate developers from San Jose and California all started to join in the fun.

Many real estate developers have declared that they will build a rich area of ​​luxury villas in the southern suburbs of San Jose, just like what Bill Gates did in Seattle. As soon as his mansion is released, a large piece of land around it pops up instantly Countless villas and manors, think about it, if you are next to the richest man in the world, can the land be worthless?
Song Yang's worth is not as good as that of Bill Gates, but Song Yang is much younger, and his worth has skyrocketed. Who dares to say that Song Yang will not touch the chair under Bill Gates in the future.

Another key point is that as the center of Silicon Valley, San Jose has a lot of rich people, but before that, it was San Jose who made money, and New York and Los Angeles spent money.

Now that Song Yang is going to build a century-old mansion in San Jose, whether it will cause a butterfly effect and attract the upstarts in Silicon Valley to build mansions in San Jose, no one knows, but all major real estate developers are ready to take a gamble.

For a time, countless lands were enclosed in the southern suburbs of San Jose, and the prices of the land in the southern suburbs were abruptly increased by a large amount.

In a hotel in San Jose, Paulson watched the report on TV and snorted coldly. Pellet Greene and several Goldman Sachs executives and assistants who were standing beside him did not dare to speak out.

Watching the serious debate on a local TV station in San Jose, Song Yang's manor, how much investment will it have, will it surpass Bill Gates' manor, design style and so on.

Arriving in San Jose, Paulson, who had been waiting for several days and still hadn't had an "audience" with Song Yang, became more and more irritable.

"It seems that our Internet genius has really made a lot of money in Southeast Asia!"

Paulson looked at the TV and said with a smile, but hearing Paulson's tone, people familiar with Paulson, such as Pellet Greene, knew that this freshly baked king of Wall Street was very fond of Song Yang. I am dissatisfied.

Originally, Paulson expected that after arriving in San Jose, Song Yang would come to see him immediately, and that the PayPal matter could be resolved within a day or two.

But man is not as good as God, Paulson never dreamed that someone would dare to release his pigeons!
It has been more than half a week since I came to San Jose. Song Yang made a phone call, but he never called Paulson. If Song Yang didn't know he was coming, it would be pure nonsense.

In the past few days, Paulson has not been idle, and has touched the bottom of Silicon Valley. The current trend of "getting rich on the Internet" in Silicon Valley attracts geniuses from all over the world to take risks here. After these few days, Paulson is convinced that Silicon Valley's ability to create wealth has surpassed that of Wall Street, and for a long time in the future, America's richest man will be born here!

After Paulson is ready to go back, he will shift the focus of Goldman Sachs to Silicon Valley. Goldman Sachs cannot miss this wave of Internet wealth creation.

As for Song Yang's influence in San Jose, Paulson also knows a thing or two. Compared with established San Jose companies such as Apple, HP, and Intel, Song Yang is still a latecomer.

However, with the emergence of companies such as Alcatel Mobile, ICQ, Sierra, Fortinet, and now PayPal, Song Yang's influence in San Jose has rapidly increased. Paulson has just set foot on the territory of San Jose. Just received the message.

But until now, Song Yang still has no intention of visiting him. Apart from deliberately letting him release the pigeons, Paulson can't think of other reasons.

"What else is that guy doing besides this?"

Paulson pointed to the TV, and the two groups of people who were arguing about Song Yang's mansion, blushing, asked Pellet Greene.

Song Yang suddenly made a big news. This method, Paulson is very clear, is to use this news to attract away the public opinion that cut leeks on Song Yang some time ago.

This trick is not very clever, but it is really useful. Paulson has heard that the American media has complained about Song Yang before, and it is Grandet from the Houston farmer. After this time, no one will dare to say that again Song Yang is gone.

Pellet Greene has been staring at Song Yang, and after hearing Paulson's words, he immediately said, "Bruno Song just met with the president of Niben Sammy, Osamu Satomi, and raised money for Sammy. A $17 billion loan!"

"Is it the Japanese billiard room project?" Paulson said after a moment of pondering.

Paulson has also heard about the matter of Xue Leshan and Sammy Company working in the billiard room in Japan. There are not many media reports on this matter, but Goldman Sachs is clear about it.

But Paulson didn't want to add trouble to Song Yang in this matter. That would be too offensive. There are too many people involved in this project. Even Paulson doesn't want Goldman Sachs to mess with him. Show off.

Knowing that Song Yang was going to go to the Japanese billiard room to get a share of the pie, Paulson had to admit that Song Yang was brave enough to play tightrope walking, but he also had to admit that this trick could completely change the Song Yang's situation in America.

Xueleshan’s billiard room project in Japan has already involved the Elephant Party, Donkey Party, Congressmen on Capitol Hill, and too many people from the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee in America. Xueleshan Japan Benzene is equivalent to these powers Character's money bag.

Once Xuele Mountain Japan Benzene Company really started to pay dividends, the American Congressmen who got the dividends, no matter they were from the elephant party or the donkey party, naturally stood on the same boat as Song Yang, not to mention absolutely supporting Song Yang. , at least for the sake of beauty, it won't cause trouble for Song Yang!
But once it failed, Paulson didn't dare to think about the consequences. Sammy was determined to finish the calf, Satomi couldn't bear it, and Song Yang's side, the best result would be to bleed a lot and send those congressmen The beautiful knives thrown in will be returned in full.

Risks and benefits are synchronized. Once the billiard room plan of Xueleshan Japan Benzene Company is completed, Song Yang will have countless supporters in America, such as the double-click sued last year, Song Yang's negative news, etc. It may not appear, of course, the price of failure is also there.

Paulson didn't want to play tricks on the Xuele Mountain Japan Benzene Company. Not only Goldman Sachs, but other giants on Wall Street also turned a blind eye. This project really messed up. Song Yang was unlucky, and they also turned a blind eye. It's not much better, it's really offending people. If it wasn't for the kind of turning face and denying people, Paulson would not use these methods.

While Paulson was still talking to Pellet Greene, the voice of the phone suddenly came to mind. After Pellet Greene connected, his face showed a relieved expression.

"President Paulson, PayPal President Aaron Swartz, would like to visit you!"

Hearing that PayPal had finally sent someone to meet him, Paulson's expression finally eased. This time, if he went out in person this time, if he couldn't even meet PayPal, it would probably become a joke on Wall Street.

Even if he can get back the place in the future, he still loses face. Now that PayPal is coming to the door, Paulson can finally save face.

"Tell PayPal that if you want to talk, let that guy named Aaron come with Song!" Paulson said angrily, ready to give Song Yang a bad blow.

"Song, do you really want to build a manor like Bill Gates?"

As soon as Song Yang picked up the phone, there was a scream from Jenny, and then she asked Song Yang like a cannonball.

Rubbing his sore ears, Song Yang said to the phone, "I'm not sure yet, if the design office can come up with a qualified drawing, then we should be able to start work this year..."

Just hearing this, Jenny screamed again. Jenny, who was busy filming the last The Matrix, also just saw the media reports. This matter has spread throughout Hollywood and become the focus of Los Angeles.

As Song Yangming's face-to-face girlfriend, Jenny was also on the set, and was approached by many media and reporters. Some media asked Jenny what she thought of the manor, and some media asked in a roundabout way. Who is the hostess of the San Jose Century Manor? who? !
In the entertainment industry, as soon as the news about Song Yang's mansion came out, it immediately became the focus, and all kinds of entertainment media wanted to grab some attention.

"Song, in another month, all the scenes on my side have been filmed, and I will return to San Jose immediately..."

Jenny said to Song Yang through the phone that the filming of the Matrix trilogy, which has been tossing for more than a year, is finally about to be completed.
