Chapter 2329 Gift

Off the coast of San Francisco, Mayer was lying on the deck of a yacht basking in the sun when she felt her hand being held, but she didn't even bother to turn her eyelids.

Like Peppa Pig and the others, she also worked overtime last night. She had been having a hard time just now, and now she just wanted to take a good nap.

But when she felt something cold being put on her wrist, she couldn't help but open her eyes, "Given it to me?"

"Yes, do you like it?" Feng Yiping asked.

Mayer raised her hand to her eyes, which was a rose gold and diamond bracelet.

"It matches your hair color very well," Feng Yiping said.

"I like it." Women are not happy when they don't receive gifts, especially when they receive gifts with diamonds.

"But why did you give me a gift today?" Mayer asked subconsciously while looking over and over.

Well, this is a science girl.

"Is today a special day?" She thought for a moment, the first time they met? But when did you first meet? ...applause for love for the first time? It’s not a day like this either…

"I just want to give you a gift," Feng Yiping lay down next to her, just in the shadow of the parasol.

Mayer kicked him, signaling a confession.

Among all the boring men, Feng Yiping can be regarded as the romantic one. He often makes some small gestures that make her very satisfied. However, when giving gifts, especially jewelry like this, it really doesn’t matter. many.

Mayer doesn’t think he’s being stingy.

But it's really hard for him to go to those jewelry stores now. Besides, she also understands his difficulty. When he goes to a jewelry store, he will definitely have to buy more than one kind - she believes that he will not favor one thing over another.

But it’s not easy to buy all the same things, so it’s a nerve-wracking thing to give what jewelry to whom.

Feng Yiping pulled her hot body into his arms, "Tomorrow is our festival called Qixi Festival. Well, you don't need to speak its Chinese name. You can understand it this way. It is the traditional Chinese Valentine's Day. It originated from A romantic love story,"

"In other words, a long time ago, there was an emperor of heaven, and that emperor had a cruel mother-in-law... In the end, their love moved thousands of magpies. The magpies got together and built a bridge across the Milky Way, allowing people to live across the Milky Way. The two people facing each other looking at the Milky Way can finally meet each other on this night,"

After hearing Feng Yiping's version of the origin of Chinese Valentine's Day, Mayer's eyes flashed with excitement, "Oh, it's so romantic, this is the real Valentine's Day,"

Indeed, compared to the Western Valentine's Day, which actually commemorates the Roman saint Valentine, Chinese Valentine's Day is more romantic and moving.

She immediately hugged Feng Yiping's arm, "What plans do you have for tomorrow?"

When she saw the guilt in Feng Yiping's eyes, she immediately understood, "Yes, you must spend the holiday with Huang tomorrow,"

Before Feng Yiping could speak, she immediately said excitedly, "Then, leave the rest of the day to me."

How could Feng Yiping object? This is on someone else's boat.

…………

When the tall buildings in San Francisco and the lights on the Golden Gate Bridge were all lit up, the candles on the yacht were also lit. On the table was a feast created by Feng Yiping and Mayer.

This meal was very romantic, and the process was quite charming. By the time they lay on the deck again, it was completely dark and the yacht had returned to the bay area.

Looking at the brightly lit San Francisco in front of him, Mayer said, "Do you feel that we have a special connection with ships?"

Feng Yiping thought about it, it was true.

The first time I was almost pushed back by Mayer was on a gambling boat.

"I suddenly thought about what would be the best gift for you," Feng Yiping said. "What do you think of a customized yacht?"

Mayer immediately said, "No," without even thinking about it.

There was no way she could accept such a heavy gift.

Feng Yiping is not annoyed, "Mainly because I will make a lot of pocket money next time,"

Mayer was quite interested in this aspect, "Tell me about it, tell me quickly,"

Feng Yiping found it a bit funny. This was a woman who was not interested in men's money, but was very interested in how men make money.

No wonder she is a strong woman.

"Have you read the financial news these days?" he asked.

He spent more than ten minutes explaining to Mayer that most people in the United States and the world, including her, were still watching the subprime mortgage market. He also briefly told her about the company he founded. That fund.

This time, Mayer was stunned for a long time, "It turns out that behind these news, behind the rising housing prices in Silicon Valley, is the involvement so deep and wide?"

"Yes, before we talked about transforming and connecting the world through the Internet, the financial industry had actually done this," Feng Yiping said.

"However, our Internet technology has brought nothing but progress to the world," Mayer said.

Is it really? Feng Yiping really doesn't think so.

Let’s take Google as an example. In the future, it will expose pictures of military bases in countries other than the United States. Facebook and Twitter will be used by some Western institutions to subvert some regimes. Later, they will also be imitated by terrorists...

It's still his favorite saying, everything in the world has two sides.

"However," Mayer looked at Feng Yiping with little stars in his eyes, "This is the first time I feel that someone who studied business can be so handsome!"

What you are saying is that you have always been discriminating against those studying business and finance?

"So, the ship on Wall Street is sinking?" Mayer said with some excitement.

This is probably how the American people feel about Wall Street. Americans, who always like all kinds of mortgages, definitely don’t have a good attitude towards bankers - who has to pay most of their monthly income to the bank? Will you have a good attitude towards the bank?

But only if they're not one of them, if they become one of those guys on Wall Street, dissatisfied? Tsk, it’s not too late to be happy!

"So many countries in Europe are in such a mess right now. You know, what's even worse than the statements from Deutsche Bank and BNP Paribas is that the conservative European Central Bank announced that it will provide unlimited loans at a discount to anyone in need. Banks, such an unprecedented move to inject liquidity into the banking system..." Looking at Mayer with his eyes wide open, Feng Yiping stopped at the right time. Mayer really couldn't understand what he said.

"Let's put it this way, this turmoil will inevitably bring huge changes to Wall Street. Many guys who have actually done nothing, but just hold enviable high salaries will be packed up next. go home,"

"And they don't get any sympathy, they don't even have a place to cry, because basically they bring it upon themselves,"

"There should be some Wall Street giants who seem to be giants now. According to some people's point of view, they will be fine if China's economy collapses. They will become victims,"

"However, the ship of Wall Street is really unsinkable. Wall Street has penetrated into every aspect of the U.S. economy, and relevant interest groups are also present in every aspect of the U.S. They will not let Wall Street fend for itself, and the U.S. economy cannot bear it. The aftermath of Wall Street’s total collapse,”

Mayer was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, "How come those profit-minded idiots are able to save themselves from danger time and time again?"

"We have to say that Wall Street's ability to survive for so many years is really not a fluke, so that sometimes you will feel that they are really lucky," Feng Yiping said. "You know the background of the current Finance Minister, right?"

"Of course, wasn't Paulson the CEO of Goldman Sachs before?" Mayer suddenly sat up. "You mean, they had a premonition?"

"That's not necessarily true," Feng Yiping pulled her back into his arms. "It's just that as long as there is an opportunity, they will not let go of the opportunity to install their own people in the government."

Some things, when I think about it afterwards, are really hard to explain.

Paulson, who had worked in the Reagan administration but later rejected government invitations many times, suddenly in the second half of 2006, when Goldman Sachs under his leadership was prospering, he accepted an offer from the Bush administration, which was nearing the end of its term. Invited and agreed to serve as Minister of Finance.

You know, Paulson's annual salary at Goldman Sachs is at least tens of millions of dollars, while as the U.S. Treasury Secretary, his annual salary is only a mere $200,000.

Before Paulson resigned, Goldman Sachs gave him an additional bonus of up to tens of millions of dollars...

Sending Paulson into the Bush administration was perhaps the most correct thing done by those big scammers on Wall Street who almost got themselves killed.

"Okay, don't get angry with these irrelevant things. Look, isn't this an opportunity for us?" Feng Yiping kissed Mayer.

"This is not an opportunity for me. Aren't I excluded by you?" Mayer said.

"Okay, okay," Feng Yiping certainly couldn't bring Mayer into that fund. "You can make other investments."

"Come on, I want to buy a big yacht for myself," Mayer sat up again.

"You can use all the Google stocks you hold for financing, and then invest in gold," Feng Yiping said.

"Invest in gold?"

"Yes, during the financial crisis, due to the demand for safe havens and the foreseeable loose monetary policy of the Federal Reserve's zero interest rate, there were concerns about inflation..." Seeing Mayer's confused face again, he thought it would be better to say it directly The result is, "In short, believe me, gold will definitely rise next,"

"Will it rise next?"

"Yes,"

"So, I have to go to the bank and rent a small vault as soon as possible?" Mayer calculated.

Feng Yiping smiled, did she want to use all her money to buy gold bricks?

However, for her, this is also a good investment. Gold futures always have risks.

"It's not impossible. Of course, you can also use part of your funds to invest in gold futures,"

…………

What Feng Yiping didn't know at this time was that that night, Page and Brin were also discussing matters related to gifts, and they approached Jobs again the next morning.
