Zhao Meng moves very quickly. As a local snake in San Francisco and one of the talkers in the Chinese community in San Francisco, some things are very easy for him to do.

The 80 million euro notes with a face value of 500, which Yang Jing told him in the morning, had been replaced by green Franklin in the afternoon.

Although the euro cannot circulate in the United States, many Americans 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. Yang Jing's 80 million Euros can be exchanged for more than 93 million US dollars. With the 8 million US dollars in cash, Yang Jing's account suddenly has more than 100 million US dollars.

As for those bearer bonds, the exchange rate is also very fast. Some people on Wall Street accept these things, especially 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 this year, those who hold these bonds can not only exchange the principal, but also get a lot of interest.

Among these treasury bonds, US $200 million treasury bonds were issued after the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis, so the interest rates of these treasury bonds are relatively high. For example, the ten-year interest rate is close to 4%. In order to sell these treasury bonds quickly, Yang Jing asked Zhao Meng to exchange them without interest and only the principal. Therefore, these treasury bonds were directly swallowed by some giants as soon as they appeared on Wall Street

The same is true of the national debt of other countries, so it can be exchanged quickly.

It took only two days for Zhao Meng to put another 600 million US dollars into Yang Jing's account.

Of course, this account is an account specially set up by Yang Jing in Switzerland. Although holding U.S. Treasury bonds in the United States can avoid paying taxes on both principal and interest, the amount is so huge that Yang Jing did not remit the money to her personal account in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Yang Jing doesn't want to be watched by those guys of the IRS.

As for those gold and diamonds, it takes more time to sell them. 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. Even in order to sell these precious gold and diamonds, he established an offshore company in Bermuda

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

Things were exchanged smoothly, and Yang Jing was in a good mood. After remitting the past 400 million US dollars to the domestic special account, Yang Jing was completely relieved.

This $400 million is enough to support the whole Grand Canal development project.

After doing this, Yang Jing took Lin Dan on foot to the Golden Gate Bridge. Chris and the four of them were still secretly protecting around.

He has been to San Francisco three times. Yang Jing hasn't visited the Golden Gate Bridge, the landmark of San Francisco. He happens to be free today. He took Lin Dan here early in the morning.

Today's weather is very good and the visibility is very high. Yang Jing and Lin Dan walk along the footpath of the bridge to the middle of the bridge, and then look to the Bay Area in the west to welcome the sunrise.

"Elder brother, did you just pull me to watch the sunrise? Please, I think this thing has vomited..." Yang Jing pulled me up before four o'clock, and Lin Dan got up angry.

"Young people need more exercise. They can't die if they get up early." Yang Jing played Lin Dan while watching the rising sun emerging from the mountains in the east of the bay area.

"Brother, you are much older than me," Lin Dan continued to make complaints about it.

"Smelly boy, I pulled you out to let you feel the magnificence of the sunrise in the East."

"Brother, I don't know how many times I have felt this magnificent since I was young."

"Then feel it again... Don't complain. If you complain again, you will be punished to write a composition about watching the sunrise."

"Er... Well, you won. Who made you the big brother..."

The sun jumped out quickly, but I have to admit that watching the sunrise on this overhead bridge is really unusual.

"Very beautiful!" Yang Jing couldn't help praising.

Lin Dan glanced and said, "well, if you come in winter, I'll show you the scene of the sea of clouds and the sunrise, it's beautiful."

"Well, since you said so, when you have the chance to come here in winter, you have to let me see the sunrise in the sea of clouds, otherwise you will be punished for writing your composition."

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

Yang Jing laughed and was in a very good mood.

"Brother, do you see the white yacht?"

Yang Jingshun looked in the direction Lin Dan pointed out and found a huge white yacht. "This yacht is good. It's big enough and it's estimated to cost a lot of money?"

"No, brother, don't you see the origin of the yacht?" Lin Dan looked at Yang Jing in surprise. It seemed that Yang Jing didn't recognize the yacht. It was a very shocking thing.

Yang Jing shrugged his shoulders. "Don't you recognize that this yacht is guilty? Or is this yacht famous? But whether this yacht is famous or not doesn't matter to me!"

Lin Dan looked completely defeated. "Brother, you are still a billionaire now. Let's not act like that. Even if you don't have some things now, you need to know. When you know enough, you can have those things. Because those things reflect the real value of a man."

"Like this yacht?" Yang Jing asked Lin Dan with her head askew.

"You can say so." lindane condescended and pointed to the white yacht that was about to enter the open sea through the Golden Gate Bridge. "Larry Ellison knows? David Geffen knows?"

Yang Jing nodded. Larry Ellison and his Oracle company certainly knew. As for David Geffen, an American entertainment giant who once established a dream factory with Hollywood director Spielberg, Yang Jing also heard about it.

"The name of this yacht is the rising sun. It was first built by Larry Ellison with a lot of money and later transferred to David Geffen." lindane explained.

"This yacht is Larry Ellison's sunrise?" Yang Jing was really a little surprised. He didn't expect to be able to appreciate this once the largest super luxury yacht in the world from a close distance on the Golden Gate Bridge.

"Yes, this yacht is the one you said. But as early as eight years ago, this yacht had a new owner. David Geffen was the new owner of this yacht."

"I've heard of this, and I seem to have heard that there was an interesting thing when the yacht was born, as if it had something to do with Bill Gates?"

Lin Dan shook his head with a smile and said, "brother Yang, some interesting things really happened at the birth of this yacht, but it is not related to Bill Gates, but to Paul Allen, Gates's partner."

"Oh, you know this? Talk about it. Anyway, being idle is also idle." Yang Jing turned around and leaned his back on the bridge railing. Since Oracle and Microsoft were involved, Yang Jing was interested. After all, in 1987, the Dragon Fund he controlled was now buying the shares of Microsoft and Oracle, and in the upcoming stock disaster, The Dragon Foundation has increased its stake in many of these two companies.

"In fact, the events that happened when the yacht was born have been well paved long ago. Brother Yang, Oracle and Microsoft have not dealt with it. You should know?"

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

In fact, this contradiction is more derived from Larry Ellison, who is nicknamed "madman".

Look at Larry Ellison's nickname to know what character this guy is. Yes, this guy's character is extremely strong, especially for his peers, he doesn't admit defeat.

Of course, his peers here mainly refer to Bill Gates, who is 11 years younger than him, but has been pressing Larry Ellison's head in personal wealth.

Ellison is 11 years older than gates. Their company was founded almost the same time and engaged in the IT industry. However, no matter how hard Ellison tried, he could not compete with gates. Even now, Ellison is still not Gates's opponent.

The two people began to compete in the 1980s. In the 1990s, this competition developed to the highest tide, because Larry Ellison was not satisfied with the current wealth ranking calculation method - if calculated according to his way, he would be the richest man in the world. Therefore, Ellison, who has been suppressed in the second position by Microsoft and gates, has been working hard to kill gates and his Microsoft.

In order to defeat gates, Ellison even didn't hesitate to use some means, but he was still helpless to gates.

In 1994, in order to deal with Microsoft, Ellison hired a Microsoft cleaning woman to help him engage in "Infernal Affairs" activities, and finally found clues to deal with Microsoft from Microsoft's trash can. Microsoft executives, including Bill Gates and Paul Allen, were caught off guard when Microsoft suddenly received a lawsuit from the U.S. Department of justice about its bundling behavior. This is the "garbage gate" event that caused a sensation in the IT industry.

This tells the world the importance of the shredder!

Bill Gates was very angry with Ellison's abnormal means. He was always steady. He couldn't help scolding Oracle's despicability in front of the media: "please look at those respectable companies, they did such despicable activities against their competitors!" but the initiator was very proud. Ellison not only quickly admitted that everything was his own, And proudly announced that "I am very satisfied with what I have done".

Since then, Ellison and Microsoft have even married. The giants of two top IT companies did not shy away from pinching. No matter what good happens to either side, the other side will always get involved, that is, they can't make their opponents feel better.

This kind of competition has gradually extended to all aspects of life from the simple business competition at the beginning.

Among them, the yacht dispute between Ellison and Paul Allen is a joke that makes the world laugh at the beginning of the new century.
