The Sichuan cuisine meal 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 jobs for immigrating in that era. However, in Lin Dan's generation, he never inherited the craft he passed down from his ancestors.

Lin Dan's father Lin Yueping really loves the chef's career. For this reason, he once returned to China and went to Sichuan to learn with several Sichuan cuisine chefs. When he returned to San Francisco, his Sichuan cuisine was famous in Chinatown.

At night, Yang Jing did not stay in a hotel and lived in Lin Dan's home. As a chef in Chinatown, Lin's father had a very good family condition. The three-story single building was 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. He didn't need to come forward to the thirteen famous paintings. Besides, it would be useless for him to come forward.

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

With this lawyer Zhou Da, coupled with the media invited and the people who witnessed him, even the FBI would not make any trouble.

Zhao Meng obviously understood this, so he did not go to the scene. Compared to the thirteen famous paintings, Zhao Meng was more concerned about the company's business.

"Xiao Jing, is it okay to have fun in the Cayman Islands?" As soon as we met, Zhao Meng asked Yang Jing enthusiastically, "You kid are really versatile in the true meaning 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 in the Caribbean Sea is so beautiful. I forgot about it as I played..."

Zhao Meng pointed at Yang Jing with a smile, "How about it, what are your plans next? Should I continue to roam in the United States, or find some serious things to do?"

"Doing things while waving."

"Hahaha..." Yang Jing's serious answer triggered a burst of laughter from Zhao Meng.

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

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

When Guo Dabao dug Zhao Meng to serve as the general manager of Rongbao Mining San Francisco branch, he promised 10% of the shares of Zhao Meng branch, so for Zhao Meng, of course, he hoped that the more mines he had under his command, the better.

The old oil well Yang Jing created in Beaumont made Zhao Meng and Guo Dabao feel like they were hit by a gold ingot that fell from the sky while walking. Although the oil field is not a big oil field, it is not even a medium-sized oil field, but it has a full 60 million barrels of mineable reserves, which is enough 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 prices are a little sluggish, this old oil well is an absolute Jubao well.

As for sales, there is no worries at all. China is so short of oil. With such a huge market, Zhao Meng is not afraid of having more than 100 such old oil wells.

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

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

The last time I traveled, the energy in the natural treasure qi gathering pool in the holy ring was directly consumed by about one-quarter of the amount. Because the two treasure qi gathering pools have become liquid, 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 qi is now the easiest energy to obtain for Yang Jing. Compared with the lack of natural treasure qi before, Yang Jing is now not worried about the replenishment of natural treasure qi.

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

But even so, after staying in that time and space for two months, the reserves of natural treasure gas in the natural treasure gas collection pool dropped by one quarter.

Since so much natural treasures have been consumed, it must be replenished. You can’t come to the United States in vain. If you keep so many old oil wells and don’t use them, that’s a waste of resources.

"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 from 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 anywhere from afar. Let's take a walk around California."

Zhao Meng pondered for a moment and said, "It's good if you have anything to do in California."

California is the fourth-ranked state in the United States with oil reserves. The headquarters of Chevron Oil Company, which is among the top 10 Forbes in the Forbes World 500 for many years, is located in San Francisco, especially near the Los Angeles Basin. Several large oil fields with reserves of over 100 million tons were discovered in the early years. However, although California's crude oil reserves are large, accounting for 19% of the U.S. oil reserves, but because of the early exploitation, California's oil fields are now similar to Texas, and most oil wells have entered the end of the mining stage.

Therefore, there are many old oil wells in California.

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

Because the Holy Ring absorbed the natural treasure gas inside the old oil fields, it led to a series of subtle changes in the unexploited oil, turning the unexploited heavy oil into exploitable light crude oil, and also high-quality low-sulfur light crude oil, which turned the original waste wells into treasure wells.

Although Yang Jing had just made a huge profit of US$4 billion in 1980, the two time and space have not yet begun to connect, and Yang Jing cannot 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.

"Wait the day after tomorrow. Xiaolin probably won't have time today, and tomorrow is Christmas. However, after today is over, there will be basically nothing he has done." Yang Jing understood what Zhao Meng said. He refers to the thirteen famous paintings. "Wait the day after tomorrow, let Xiaolin go with you."

Yang Jing nodded.

To be honest, this is the first time that Yang Jing has celebrated Christmas in the United States. Compared to Christmas in London, Christmas in San Francisco seems to be more lively. However, for Yang Jing, there is no difference.

Yang Jing spent the Spring Festival in London for two years, so he had no feelings for the Western Christmas now.

At noon on Christmas, Yang Jing went to a restaurant alone for a simple Western lunch. Two bodyguards asked Yang Jing to rush home to celebrate Christmas. Lin Dan accompanied his American girlfriend to celebrate Christmas. Yang Jing didn't want to go there as a light bulb, so he had to solve the lunch at noon on that day.

In this restaurant, Yang Jin ordered a cheese steak, a dessert and a glass of red wine, and feasted alone.

As he ate, Yang Jing was attracted by the two fierce conversations behind him.

"Damn, Tom, you should have listened to me last week. Selling your Bitcoin at a price of nearly 20,000 yuan. If you don't listen, do you regret it now?"

"Shut up, Louis! According to my analysis, I don't think the price of last week has 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 the increase next year will exceed this year, and the price of last week!"

"Hmph, these are all your imagination! If you listen to me and sell the more than fifty bitcoins you have in your hands at the highest point last week, then you are now a millionaire!"

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

......

Hearing the two of them whispering to each other, a thought suddenly flashed through Yang Jing's mind.

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

When it comes to the new century, what is happening and the most powerful increase on this planet is the "Bitcoin" mentioned by the two quarrels behind him.

This kind of online cryptocurrency, which was born in August 2009, was not taken seriously when it was first born, but in the next eight years, this virtual currency that was not issued by specific currency issuing institutions and only generated through online calculations, has directed a series of magnificent dramas.

Bitcoin is not issued uniformly by the central bank of a certain country like banknotes. This virtual currency is born purely on computer networks. To be precise, Bitcoin is a "electronic currency" composed of a series of complex codes generated by computers. New Bitcoin is made through preset programs and is generated by the calculations of network nodes. Anyone may participate in the manufacturing of Bitcoin. Therefore, the liquidity of this currency is very wide.

Of course, in the two years when Bitcoin was first born, it did not attract people's attention because it was an emerging thing and the total amount was not large. More geeks regarded "mining" Bitcoin as a kind of entertainment.

That’s right, the first geeks who obtained Bitcoin were vividly called the process of obtaining Bitcoin “mining”. Because the characteristics of Bitcoin generation are very similar to the kind of mining in online games.

In fact, during the first time Bitcoin was born, this currency was not recognized by the world. Apart from those geeks, no normal person was idle and spent a lot of time "mining" online. Therefore, from the day of its birth, until more than half a year later, on May 22, 2010, a programmer named Han Yates from Florida, USA, bought two "Papa-John" pizza coupons for 10,000 Bitcoins, which created a situation where such virtual electronic currency and real goods were traded.

In order to commemorate this initiative, that day, May 22, 2100, was also regarded as "Bitcoin Pizza Day".

On the day of buying pizza, Hanyez posted on Bitcoin-Talk on the Bitcoin forum: "I would like to spend 10,000 bitcoins to buy two pizzas, preferably big pizza, so that I can leave some for tomorrow. You can make your own pizza, and after it is ready, you can send it to my house or order two pizza from a takeaway company, but I just want to pay with Bitcoin so that I don't need to place orders by myself or make pizza by myself. This is a bit like breakfast in the hotel. They deliver the food to you and you will feel very happy. If you are interested, please contact me and we can talk about the transaction."

His idea was good, and he finally achieved the purpose of using Bitcoin, a virtual currency, to trade real goods, and inadvertently created a new situation. It is estimated that the programmer did not expect that at that time, he thought that each of the ten thousand bitcoins he dug with "mining" was only worth 0.3 cents, so he would exchange 10,000 for 30 US dollars of pizza coupons. But in fact, if he had saved those ten thousand bitcoins for seven and a half years, then he only thought that the Bitcoin worth 0.3 US dollars would make him become a billionaire in an instant.

Because from the date of its birth to December 18, 2017, Bitcoin has increased by more than 22 million times in more than eight years! From the initial value of the penny to the highest of $19,694 this day!

In other words, if the programmer was a little harder and went out to buy the two pizzas with cash, thus keeping the 10,000 Bitcoins until December 18, 2017, then the value of these 10,000 Bitcoins alone would be nearly 200 million US dollars!

This is definitely something that can drive anyone crazy. This kind of electronic currency that is invisible and intangible is so great!

In fact, Yang Jing was a speculator who speculated on Bitcoin for a while back then, but he was very lucky to speculate on Bitcoin while studying in London and make a little money, but he also witnessed the plunge of Bitcoin.

Since then, Yang Jing has never encountered such an unpredictable thing again. However, this year, the surge in Bitcoin has also made Yang Jing feel somewhat similar to the complaints on the Internet.

"When I was a bachelor's degree, I used the graphics card to mine, but played games; when I was a graduate student, I did not use pizza to exchange for Bitcoin, but took advantage of the school's free-pizza; after work, I did not use my salary to buy Bitcoin, but bought snapchat with my salary." This is a typical complaint about Bitcoin on the Internet.

Most people, especially young people in the United States, probably encountered such a thing back then, but because of the special nature of Bitcoin, few people have truly saved it until now. As a result, these people still regret it.

Even Yang Jing regretted the surge in Bitcoin before he received the holy ring.
