Happy Tycoon

Chapter 233: Bitcoin

The Sichuan cuisine dinner at night really made Yang Jing extremely satisfied.

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

Lin Dan’s father, Lin Yueping, really loves the profession of chefs. For this reason, he did not hesitate to go back to Sichuan to learn from several Sichuan chefs. When he returned to San Francisco, his Sichuan cuisine was famous in Chinatown. of.

In the evening, Yang Jing didn't stay in the hotel, so he stayed in Lin Dan's house. As a chef in San Francisco's Chinatown, Father Lin has a very good family condition. The three-story small 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 Company. He didn't need to show up about the 13 famous paintings. Besides, it was useless for him to show up.

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

With the presence of this lawyer, the media and the people who have witnessed it, even the FBI can't make any noise.

Zhao Meng obviously understood this, so he didn't go to the scene either. Compared with the 13 famous paintings, Zhao Meng is more concerned about the company's business.

"Xiao Jing, is it okay to play in the Cayman Islands?" Zhao Meng asked Yang Jing very enthusiastically when they met, "Your kid really knows the essence of vacation. Turn off your phone and don't care about anything. ."

Yang Jing smiled and touched the back of his head and said, "Uncle Zhao, the scenery of the Caribbean Sea is so beautiful. I just forgot it when I was playing..."

Zhao Meng smiled and pointed to Yang Jing, "How about, what are your plans next? Do you continue to wave in the United States, or do you find something to do?"

"Wave while doing things."

"Hahahaha..." Yang Jing's solemn answer drew Zhao Meng's laughter.

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

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

When Guo Dabao digs Zhao Meng to take over as the general manager of Rongbao Mining San Francisco branch, he promised a 10% stake in Zhao Meng branch. So for Zhao Meng, he certainly hopes that the more mines he owns, the better.

The old oil well created by Yang Jing in Beaumont gave Zhao Meng and Guo Dabao the feeling of being smashed by gold ingots falling from the sky. Although that oil field is not a big 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 open up 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 down again, this old oil well is an out-and-out treasure well.

As for the market, there is no worries 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 more old oil wells like this.

Yang Jing smiled and nodded, confirming that he was not joking just now.

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

The last time I crossed, the energy in the natural treasure qi pool in the holy ring directly consumed about a quarter of the amount, because the two qi pools have become liquid, so the holy ring is consuming energy when , Yang Jing, the host, can choose which energy to consume first.

Because Yang Jing made a successful attempt on the old oil well in Beaumont, now the natural treasure is the easiest kind of energy for Yang Jing. Compared with the lack of natural treasure before, the current Yang Jing didn't worry about supplementing the natural treasures at all.

On the contrary, the humanities treasures that were the most accessible in the past have now become rare things. So the last time he crossed to 198o, Yang Jing chose to consume natural treasures.

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 is consumed, it must be refilled. A trip to the United States can't be done in vain. With so many old oil wells left unused, it is called a violent thing.

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

"Let's talk about it, 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 California."

Zhao Meng groaned slightly and said, "It's okay, it's easy to do anything in California."

California is the fourth-ranked state in the United States in terms of oil reserves. The headquarters of Chevron Oil Company, which is ranked in the top ten of the Forbes Global 500, is located in San Francisco, especially near the Los Angeles Basin. A large oil field with reserves of more than 100 million tons. However, although California's crude oil reserves are large, accounting for a full 19% of the United States' petroleum reserves, because of the early exploitation, California's oil fields are now similar to those in Texas, and most of the oil wells have entered the final stage of exploitation.

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

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

Because the Holy Ring has absorbed the natural treasures in the old oil fields, it has caused a series of subtle changes in the unexplorable oil, turning the unexplorable heavy oil into recoverable light crude oil, and it is still high-quality low-quality crude oil. Sulfur light crude oil, which turned those originally abandoned wells into treasure wells.

Although Yang Jing just made a huge profit of 400 million US dollars in 198o, the two time and space have not yet begun to connect, and the money Yang Jing can’t use this time and space for the time being, so Yang Jing doesn’t mind making more money in this time and space. Some money.

"Wait for the day after tomorrow, I guess Xiaolin will not have time today, and tomorrow is Christmas. However, after today is over, there will be basically nothing about him." Yang Jing understood what Zhao Meng said. He was referring to it. Regarding the 13 famous paintings, "Let Xiaolin follow you the day after tomorrow."

Yang Jing nodded.

To be honest, this is the first Christmas for Yang Jing in the United States. Compared to 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 in those two years, so he has no feeling about Christmas in the West at all.

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

In this restaurant, Yang Jin ordered a cheese steak, plus a dessert and a glass of red wine, and feasted on his own.

After eating, Yang Jing was attracted by two intense conversations behind him.

"Damn it, Tom, you should listen to me last week and sell your bitcoins at a price of close to 20,000 yuan. You don't listen, do you regret it now?"

"Shut up, Louis! According to my analysis, I think the price last week has not 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 it will increase next year. This year will pass, the price of last week!"

"Hmph, this is all your imagination! If you listen to me and sell the fifty or so bitcoins in your hand at the highest point last week, then you are now a millionaire!"

"Ha, I am not bad now. If I shoot today, I will still have a net worth of more than 700,000 yuan."

......

Hearing the two people arguing in a low voice, a thought suddenly flashed through Yang Jing's mind.

Damn it, buddies seem to have forgotten Bitcoin, which is so awesome...

When it comes to the emergence of something on this planet and the greatest rate of increase after entering the new century, there is nothing more than the "Bitcoin" that the two quarreling guys behind them are talking about.

This kind of network cryptocurrency was born in August 2oo9. No one took it seriously when it was first born. However, for the next eight years, this kind of cryptocurrency did not have a specific currency bank. , Only the virtual currency generated through network calculations has directed a series of magnificent scenes.

Bitcoin, a currency, is not unified by the central bank of a certain country like banknotes. This virtual currency was born purely on a computer network. To be precise, Bitcoin is a kind of "electronic currency", which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by a computer. The new Bitcoin is manufactured through a preset program and is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of Bitcoin. currency. Therefore, the circulation of this currency is very wide.

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

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

In fact, at the time when Bitcoin was first born, this currency was not recognized by the world. Except for those geeks, no normal people were idle to spend a lot of time "mining" online. , So Bitcoin started on the day it 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 full 10,000 Bitcoins Two "papa-John" pizza coupons, which created this virtual electronic currency and real goods trading situation.

To commemorate this pioneering work, that day, which is May 22 in the year 21oo, was also regarded as "Bitcoin Pizza Day."

On the day of the pizza purchase, Hanyates posted on the Bitcoin forum-Ta1k: “I would like to spend 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas, preferably a large pizza, so that I can save some for tomorrow. You can make your own pizza and send it to my house after it’s done, or order two pizzas from a takeaway company, but I only want to pay with Bitcoin, so I don’t need to order it myself or make it myself. It’s a bit like a hotel’s breakfast. They bring you food and you will feel very happy. If you are interested, please contact me and we can talk about the transaction."

His idea is good, and finally realized the purpose of trading real commodities with Bitcoin, which is a virtual currency, and inadvertently created a new situation. It is estimated that this programmer did not expect at the time that he thought that the value of each of the ten thousand bitcoins he dug by "mining" was only 0.3 cents, so he would use ten thousand bitcoins. Come in exchange for a thirty-dollar pizza coupon. But in fact, if he kept the 10,000 bitcoins for seven and a half years, then he only thought that a bitcoin worth o.3 US dollars would make him a billionaire in an instant.

Because Bitcoin has doubled by more than 220,000 times in more than eight years from its birth to December 18th, 2017! From the initial worthlessness to $19,694 on this day!

In other words, if the programmer was a little bit more diligent and went out to buy the two pizzas with cash, so as to keep the 10,000 bitcoins until December 18, 2017, then the value of only these 10,000 bitcoins , It's close to 200 million U.S. dollars!

This is definitely something that drives anyone crazy. This kind of invisible electronic money is just such an awesome match!

In fact, Yang Jing was also considered a Bitcoin speculator back then, but he was very lucky. When he was studying in London, he speculated a handful of Bitcoin and made a small amount of money, but he also witnessed the collapse of Bitcoin.

Since that time ~www.readwn.com~ Yang Jing has never touched this elusive thing again. However, this year, Bitcoin's skyrocketing has also made Yang Jing feel more or less the same as complaints on the Internet.

“I didn’t buy a graphics card for mining during my undergraduate studies, but used graphics cards to play games; I didn’t use pizza for bitcoins in my graduate school, but used free-pizza from the school; after working, I didn’t buy bitcoins with wages, but with wages. snapchat.” This is a typical complaint about Bitcoin on the Internet.

Most people, especially young people in the United States, have probably encountered this kind of thing in the past, but because of the particularity of Bitcoin, few people have really kept it until now. As a result, these people have regretted it now.

Even Yang Jing regretted the skyrocketing Bitcoin before he got the holy ring.

It's just that now that we have the holy precepts, will there be regrets?
