Happy Tycoon

The Sichuan cuisine dinner in the evening really made Yang Jing extremely satisfied.

In fact, both Lin Dan's father and grandfather were cooks, which may have been one of the main types of work for immigrants at that time, but in Lin Dan's generation, he never inherited this skill from his ancestors.

Lin Dan’s father, Lin Yueping, really loves the profession of chefs. For this reason, he even went back to Sichuan to learn from several Sichuan chefs. When he returned to San Francisco, his Sichuan cuisine was well-known in Chinatown. of.

At night, Yang Jing didn't stay in a hotel, but stayed at Lin Dan's house. As a chef in San Francisco's Chinatown, Father Lin's family conditions are quite good. The three-story independent building is enough for Yang Jing and two bodyguards to live in.

The next day, Yang Jing went directly to the San Francisco branch of Rongbao Mining. There was no need for him to come forward about the thirteen famous paintings. Besides, it was useless for him to come forward.

The barrister Zhao Meng invited is Bruce Zhou, and his Chinese name is Zhou Haipeng. He is also a Chinese from the Bay Area. He is one of the senior partners of Baker McKenzie Law Firm and a well-known lawyer in the United States. lawyer.

With this lawyer Zhou here, plus the invited media and witnesses, even the FBI can't do anything wrong.

Zhao Meng obviously understood this too, so he didn't go to the scene either. Compared with the thirteen famous paintings, Zhao Meng is more concerned about the company's business.

Xiao Jing, how are you doing in the Cayman Islands? As soon as we met, Zhao Meng asked Yang Jing very enthusiastically, You really know the essence of vacation, turn off your phone and don't care about anything else. .”

Yang Jing touched the back of his head with a smile and said, Uncle Zhao, the scenery of the Caribbean Sea is so beautiful, I forgot it after playing.

Zhao Meng pointed at Yang Jing with a smile, How about it, what's your plan next? Do you want to continue wandering in the United States, or find something serious to do?

Do things while surfing.

Hahahaha. Yang Jing's serious answer caused Zhao Meng to burst into laughter.

Yang Jing also laughed, and said, Uncle Zhao, I plan to find another old oil well.

Ah? Really? This is great! Hearing this, the smile on Zhao Meng's face became even stronger.

When Guo Dabao recruited Zhao Meng to serve as the general manager of the San Francisco branch of Rongbao Mining, he promised a 10% stake in the Zhao Meng branch, so for Zhao Meng, of course he hopes that the more mines he has, the better.

The old oil well that Yang Jing built in Beaumont made both Zhao Meng and Guo Dabao feel like they were hit by gold ingots falling from the sky while walking. Although that oil field is not considered a large oil field, not even a medium-sized oil field, it has a full 60 million barrels of recoverable reserves, which is enough for Rongbao Mining to break through the current embarrassing situation.

The most important thing is that the output cost of this old oil well is too low. Even if the international oil price is lower, this old oil well is an out-and-out treasure well.

As for sales, I don't have to worry about it at all. There is a severe shortage of oil in Huaxia. With such a huge market behind it, it is not too much for Zhao Meng to have a hundred such old oil wells.

Yang Jing nodded with a smile, making sure that he was not joking just now.

In fact, the reason why Yang Jing made this decision was actually because the limited-level space-time shuttle launched in the Cayman Islands consumed a lot of the energy of the holy ring, so Yang Jing wanted to add.

In the last crossing, the energy in the natural treasure gas pool in the holy ring was directly consumed by about a quarter of the amount, because the two treasure gas pools have become liquid, so when the holy ring consumes energy , the host Yang Jing can choose which energy to consume first.

Because Yang Jing made a successful attempt on the old oil well in Beaumont, natural treasure gas is now the easiest energy for Yang Jing to obtain. Compared with the lack of natural treasure gas before, Yang Jing now Jing is not worried about the replenishment of natural treasure gas at all.

On the contrary, the humanistic aura that was the easiest to obtain in the past has become a rare thing now. So the last time he traveled to 1980, Yang Jing chose to consume natural treasure energy.

But even so, staying in that time and space for two months still reduced the natural treasure gas reserves in the natural treasure gas pool by a quarter.

Since so much natural treasure gas has been consumed, it must be replenished. A visit to the United States cannot be done in vain. If so many old oil wells are left unused, that would be called waste.

So where are you going to look for old oil wells? Texas? Or California, Louisiana, New Mexico?

Let's take a look, but I plan to take a look at California for the time being. I've been out for more than 20 days, and it's almost time to go back. I won't go far away, just wander around in California.

Zhao Menglue pondered for a while and said: That's fine, whatever happens in California is easy to handle.

California is the state with the fourth largest oil reserves in the United States. The headquarters of Chevron Petroleum Corporation, which ranks in the top ten of the Forbes 500 all the year round, is located in San Francisco, especially near the Los Angeles Basin. Several years ago, it discovered several A large oil field with reserves exceeding 100 million tons. However, although California's crude oil reserves are very large, accounting for 19% of the US's oil reserves, due to the early exploitation, California's oil fields are now similar to those in Texas, and most oil wells have entered the end of production.

Therefore, there are also many old oil wells in California.

These old oil wells are useless to those large oil companies, but to Yang Jing, these old oil wells are not only related to the replenishment of natural gas, but also a good way to make money.

Because the holy ring absorbed the natural treasure gas inside those old oil fields, it caused a series of subtle changes in the unrecoverable oil, turning the unrecoverable heavy oil into recoverable light crude oil, and it was still high-quality low-grade crude oil. Sulfur light crude oil, which turns those abandoned wells into treasure wells.

Although Yang Jing just made a huge profit of 4 billion U.S. dollars in 1980, the two time and space have not yet started to connect, and Yang Jing can't use the money in this time and space for the time being, so Yang Jing doesn't mind making more money in this time and space Some money.

Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. I don't think Xiao Lin has time today. Tomorrow is Christmas. However, after today is over, there is basically nothing to do with him. What Zhao Meng said Yang Jing understood what he meant, and what he meant was Regarding the thirteen famous paintings, Let Xiao Lin go with you the day after tomorrow.

Yang Jing nodded.

To be honest, this is Yang Jing's first time celebrating Christmas in the United States. Compared with Christmas in London, Christmas in San Francisco seems to be more lively. But for Yang Jing, there is no difference.

After studying in London for two years, Yang Jing spent the Spring Festival in London during those two years, so now he has no feeling for Christmas in the West at all.

At noon on Christmas Day, Yang Jing went to a restaurant alone and had a simple Western-style lunch. Two bodyguards made Yang Jing go home for Christmas. Lin Dan spent Christmas with his American girlfriend. Yang Jing Jing didn't want to be a light bulb in the past, so he had to solve the lunch at noon this day.

In this restaurant, Yang Jin ordered a cheese steak, plus a dessert and a glass of red wine, and ate it all by himself.

While eating, Yang Jing was attracted by the two voices of intense conversation behind him.

Damn it, Tom, you should have listened to me last week and sold your Bitcoin at a price close to 20,000. If you didn't listen, do you regret it now?

Shut up, Louis! According to my analysis, I don't think the price last week reached its peak. Although it has plummeted now, looking at the rise and fall of Bitcoin over the years, even if it has plummeted now, I think next year's increase It will exceed this year's price and exceed last week's price!

Hmph, this is all your imagination! If you listened to me and sold the more than fifty bitcoins in your hand at the highest point last week, then you are already a millionaire now!

Ha, I'm not bad now. If I sell today, I still have a net worth of more than 700,000.

Hearing the two people quarreling in low voices, a thought suddenly flashed in Yang Jing's mind.

Damn, my buddy seems to have forgotten the awesome thing about Bitcoin.

If you want to talk about the appearance of something on this planet and the fastest increase after entering the new century, it is the Bitcoin that the two guys who are arguing behind them say.

This kind of network encrypted currency was born in August 2009. No one took it seriously when it was first born, but in the following eight years, this kind of currency issued by no specific currency issuer , Only the virtual currency generated through network computing has directed scenes of magnificent dramas.

Unlike banknotes, the currency of Bitcoin is issued by a central bank of a certain country. This virtual currency is born purely on the basis of computer networks. To be precise, Bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency, which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by computers. New Bitcoins are manufactured through preset programs and are generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone may participate in the creation of Bitcoins. currency. Therefore, the circulation of this currency is very wide.

Of course, in the first two years when Bitcoin was born, because it was a new thing and the total amount was not large, it did not attract people's attention. More geeks regarded digging Bitcoin as a A pastime.

That's right, the first batch of geeks who obtained Bitcoin vividly called the process of obtaining Bitcoin mining. Because of the characteristics of Bitcoin, it is very similar to the kind of mining in online games.

In fact, during the period when Bitcoin was first born, this currency was not recognized by the world. Except for those geeks, no normal person was idle to spend a lot of time mining on the Internet , Therefore, from the day when Bitcoin was born, until more than half a year later, that is, on May 22, 2010, a programmer named Hanyates in Florida, USA, bought it with a total of 10,000 Bitcoins. Two Papa-John (Papa-John) pizza coupons, which created this virtual electronic currency and physical goods exchange situation.

To commemorate this pioneering work, that day, May 22, 2100, is also regarded as Bitcoin Pizza Day.

On the day of buying the pizza, Hanyates posted on the bitcoin forum Bitcoin-Talk, saying: I would like to spend 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas, preferably large pizzas, so that I can save some for tomorrow. ...you can make your own pizza and have it delivered to my house or order two pizzas from a delivery company for me, but I just want to pay in bitcoin so I don't have to order or make the pizza myself, which is It’s kind of like a hotel breakfast, they bring you the food and you feel happy. If you’re interested, please contact me and we can talk about a deal.”

His idea was good, and he finally realized the purpose of trading real goods with Bitcoin, a virtual currency, and created a new situation inadvertently. It is estimated that the programmer did not expect at the time that he thought that the value of each of the 10,000 bitcoins he dug out by mining was only 0.3 cents, so he would exchange 10,000 bitcoins Thirty dollar pizza coupon. But in fact, if he keeps those 10,000 bitcoins for seven and a half years, then the bitcoins he only thought were worth $0.30 would make him a billionaire in an instant.

Because from the date of Bitcoin's birth to December 18, 2017, in more than eight years, Bitcoin has doubled by more than 22 million times! From worthless at the beginning to as high as $19,694 on this day!

In other words, if the programmer had been a little more diligent and went out to buy the two pizzas with cash, thus keeping the 10,000 bitcoins until December 18, 2017, then the value of only the 10,000 bitcoins , close to 200 million US dollars!

It's definitely one enough to drive anyone crazy. This invisible and intangible electronic currency is so awesome!

In fact, Yang Jing was also a bitcoin speculator for a while back then, but he was lucky. When he was studying in London, he speculated on a handful of bitcoins and made a little money, but he also witnessed the sharp drop of bitcoins.

After that time, Yang Jing never touched such unpredictable things again. However, this year, the skyrocketing price of Bitcoin also made Yang Jing feel somewhat similar to the complaints on the Internet.

“When I was an undergraduate, I didn’t buy a graphics card for mining, but played games with a graphics card; when I was a graduate student, I didn’t exchange pizza for bitcoins, but the school’s free-pizza; after work, I didn’t use my salary to buy bitcoins, but bought snapchat.” This is a typical complaint about Bitcoin on the Internet.

Most people, especially young people in the United States, probably encountered this kind of thing back then, but because of the particularity of Bitcoin, few people have really kept it until now. As a result, these people still regret it to this day.

Even Yang Jing, before getting the holy ring, regretted the skyrocketing bitcoin.

However, now that I have the Holy Ring, will there be any regrets?
