Back To 1995

  Chapter 473 Final interpretation right

Greg looked at the wine in his hand. The shape of the wine bottle was a little primitive. The most conspicuous thing was that the bottle was inlaid with gold, platinum, and a large piece of diamonds. Half of the bottle was shells made of gold, and the cap was made of platinum. The crown, the auction house threatened to set 6,500 diamonds.

It's hard to say whether there are so many diamonds, but this wine bottle alone is probably worth a lot of money. This wine is not used for drinking, it is basically used for collection and inheritance. One wine is passed down to ten generations, and people leave. The wine is still...

  Greck looked at Henry IV's Dudonon brandy in his hand, glanced at Song Yang, and knew that Song Yang specially prepared it for him.

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

  Grek said, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he put down the bottle of brandy.

   What Greg said is true. Those drinks that are rumored to have been hidden for dozens or hundreds of years are really indescribable. The taste is definitely not as good as the freshly made drinks.

   But those drinks are basically used for collection. A bottle of wine costs millions of dollars, and the taste of the wine is indescribable. Even if you like to collect wine, it is estimated that you will not drink these things, and they are more used for observation.

During dinner, Da Anna prepared a large table of meals by herself. Song Yang ate a bite of beef stewed with tomatoes. Da Anna's craftsmanship was not as good as those of the chefs in the Italian restaurant, but the taste of these meals was very good, at least. Compared with the Chinese food she cooked for Song Yang, the taste was much better.

   "Wait until next year and let Millia go to school in San Jose!"

  Song Yang took a few bites, wiped the corner of his mouth, and said to Da Anna, Song Yang, Greck, Gallo and the others 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 University, and now in Houston, Daanna is basically left to take care of Millia and Amber.

   Hearing Song Yang's words, Da Anna was a little moved, and 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 the Greck and Bruno family, but San Jose was very unfamiliar to her.

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

   With Greg'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 you want.

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

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

   "Li Rouling!"

  In the Zhou family in Yangcheng, Zhou Bailin, the son of aunt Song Huiqiong, is going to study in America, and Song Yang will naturally be responsible for it.

   A group of people from the Zhou family, Song Huiqiong, Zhou Guochang, Zhou Baihui, and Zhou Bailin will all come over this time, including Zhou Bailin's daughter, Song Yang's cheap niece Li Rouling, of course.

"It's on me, I'll take good care of Li... Rouling," Millia said firmly, stammering out Li Rouling's name, and then slapped Amber, "Are you saying it is Amber? "

   Amber, who was eating right in the air, raised his head blankly, and replied with a still not very neat mouth, "Yes!"

   "Milia, don't bully Amber!"

  Daana said to Millia, and for a while, the whole table was full of chickens and dogs.

After    left Houston, Song Yang, Greck and others returned to San Jose.

At this time, the Bank of Comeliga issued a statement, but it was not paid much attention by many people. Neither Wall Street nor the American banking industry had any interest in Comeliga, which was only a "second-rate bank". what concern.

"Comerica Bank has reached a new payment method agreement with PayPal, an emerging technology company. Comerica Bank will provide PayPal with services such as settlement centers, overseas payment channels, and offline business points. Riga Bank, having a partial impact…”

   Not many people care about this announcement from Comerica Bank, or no one has thought of what this PayPal that has never been heard of is actually.

   Coincidentally, after Comerica Bank, Enron, ICQ, Inter-American Telecom, eBay, Amazon and many other companies have also announced that they will start cooperation with PayPal in inconspicuous positions.

In such intensive statements and announcements, PayPal is mentioned, which can not help but make people imagine, and has also attracted the attention of a group of people in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, but there is not much news about PayPal at all. The office location has not been exposed, which makes many people feel intriguing.

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

  What is the use of PayPal is unknown, and what is the use for the cowboys in Texas, it is hard to say, but anyway, the hat has been buckled, and PayPal payment is not supported, just can't get along with the 20 million cowboys in Texas!

   This is touted by Texas for issuing an electronic payment license for PayPal. PayPal's headquarters has been registered in Houston. In the future, PayPal will be a Texas-based technology company.

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

  The problems facing PayPal now have been solved, just waiting for PayPal payment to go online.

After Song Yang returned to San Jose, he began to live in a secluded place. He turned down a lot of interviews and entertainment. Except for a few trips to San Jose University, the rest was in 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 Foundation 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 dazzling 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 is here today to meet with Song Yang, a candidate for the hedge fund department selected by the North American Global Investment Fund.

Marcus knew how deeply Song Yang's side was involved with An Ran. Although he said that An Ran's misdeeds would not have too much impact on Song Yang's side, he would still be implicated a little bit. A giant elephant fell with a bang, and the other animals around had to be startled!

   "Enron introduced the "Fair Value Accounting" model, it is very likely that Enron's financial situation is not as good as imagined!"

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

   The newspaper in his hand reported the results of Enron in the first half of the year, which exceeded Wall Street’s expectations, with revenue growth reaching 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, uses a number of new terms, including the one mentioned by Marcus.

There are many laws in the world, but basically they all follow a rule. The things that you can't understand are basically either fooling people or liars. The people who designed this thing are not meant to be understood by people, but to grasp the "final explanation". right"!

Enron's game is to count all the profits of an order at one time. It is like signing a ten-year order. Whether it really made a profit or lost, only Enron knew that Enron had already "earned" this year anyway.

There are many more such sleazy manipulations. Marcus also saw that Enron’s own related transactions with himself began to appear in large sums. This trick Jia Accountant is most familiar with is to establish a subsidiary and then sell certain things at high prices to Subsidiaries, in this way, they will make money directly on the book, and the subsidiary will bear the losses. Whether it is cashing out or making false accounts, it is a big killer!

   Seeing An Ran's activities, Marcus instinctively felt that An Ran was probably in a bad situation.

After hearing Marcus' words, Song Yang just nodded noncommittally and replied to Marcus, "There is enough distance between American Telecom, ICNC TV, PayPal, etc., and Enron, and all accounts are clear. of!"

Looking at Song Yang's attitude, Marcus felt that Song Yang didn't seem to have anything strange about Enron's rhetoric at all. It was more like... well prepared. I don't know if Song Yang had heard some rumors that he didn't know.

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

   Just when Marcus still had doubts in his heart, the door of the office was knocked on, and under the leadership of personnel, a man in his thirties in a suit was brought in.

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

Song Yang doesn't care about a man's age. In Wall Street, there is no shortage of geniuses, and there are countless people who have become famous, especially "madmen" who have become famous by short selling. If you take all your net worth to go short, then you really won the villa club model, and lost the rooftop queue, there is no way back!
