Chapter 608 Tail(1/2)

The genius remembers "Love ♂ Go ÷ ÷? Say →" in one second, and provides you with wonderful novel readings.

San Francisco International Airport, Ma Ling jumped at Heidi, "Mom,"

Heidi looked at her daughter carefully, "Are you still used to it here?"

"It's very good. The environment we live in is very good. You have seen all my work. Haha, very excellent. Vincent has made many friends in kindergarten," said Ma Ling.

John, who was pushing the luggage cart next to him, felt neglected and coughed.

"Dad," Ma Ling jumped between her parents, holding her father in one hand and her mother in the other, "It seems that a new hurricane is about to be generated. How many more days should I stay this time?"

John and Heidi suddenly came to Silicon Valley this time mainly because of the recent hurricanes.

In mid-last month, just three weeks ago, Hurricane Charlie had already ravaged Florida once.

Yesterday, the US Meteorological Department predicted that Category 4 Hurricane Francis will land in the United States tomorrow, on the 4th. This time, it will not only affect the east coast of Florida and the northern area of ​​Palm Beach, but also Orlando, where the Marling family is located, will also be affected.

The authorities are already mobilizing residents to evacuate, and John and the others don’t want to experience another day when water and electricity are cut off and they can’t get out, so they simply decided to go out and have a walk.

"Let's take a look," Heidi said, looking at the town over there.

"I also made an appointment to go to Chicago to see your Uncle Adam," John put his luggage into the trunk of the car and looked around, "He didn't come?"

Heidi glanced at her daughter helplessly and whispered, "Don't pay attention to him, he's like this, sometimes like a child,"

"When he was notified, he was having a meeting and went straight to home later," Ma Ling said to his somewhat childish father.

Fortunately, John was just awkward, and he could probably guess that Feng Yiping was not in a meeting, but was not good at showing up in such a public place.

…………

Ma Ling and the others had just left the airport. Ma Wenjun, wearing sunglasses, followed by two people and walked out of the airport.

Once again setting foot on the land of the United States, Ma Wenqian took a deep breath with his eyes closed, and he really missed the smell here!

It seems that Lao Ma’s proposal is actually not bad. He thinks that in the United States, he can indeed be more free.

The problem is that freedom in the United States cannot be separated from green US dollars, and those in Hong Kong and Switzerland, which are probably not much to fall on themselves. Who knows how many younger brothers or sisters they have never met outside?

So, this is very important!

Mr. Wang also knew that this was very important, so he sent two capable men to assist him.

The two people following him were Yang Shan, the thin one, who was a good reconnaissance officer of a certain unit of the army before he was discharged from the army. The thin one, the big name Pan An, was just that everyone thought that his appearance was really not worthy of his name, so he gave him a nickname, Pang An.

Pang An is a photographer from a medium-sized newspaper in southern China, with rich experience in following the filming. If it weren't for the chance to be taken by Mr. Wang, he might have made a name for himself in the paparazzi.

At this moment, he stood at the airport gate, looking like he was lowering his head to adjust the camera, but in fact he had already photographed those beauties who were outspoken.

"The important thing is important, go," Ma Wenqian stopped a taxi, "stay in first, and then go buy equipment,"

…………

Ma Ling's family, Feng Yiping was already waiting in the yard with a smile, and helped them open the car door very politely, "Uncle, aunt,"

"You're so flat," Heidi hugged him.

"Congratulations," John also smiled and shook hands with him.

Ma Ling looked at his father who was pretending to be in front of him just now, and saw Feng Yiping's intimate smile. He felt that his father was better than Feng Yiping, and he felt that he was really enough. "I'll take my parents to visit, you can carry your luggage,"

"Thank you for your hard work," she also kissed Feng Yiping on the face.

But it was completely useless. "The environment is pretty good," John said, looking at the mountain opposite with his hands behind his back.

Half an hour later, on the large balcony on the second floor, four people sat on both sides, basking in the sun and drinking beer comfortably.

"It won't delay your work, right?" Heidi asked.

"He, now it's easier than me," Ma Ling rushed, "and only meetings are held all day,"

"Yes, no, I've cancelled this afternoon's schedule,"

"I didn't have a good impression of Silicon Valley," John took a sip of beer. "In 2000, I invested in several companies, and later you also knew that I had lost all my money."

"This time, aren't everyone back?" Heidi said.

"Yes, haha, I really didn't expect Google's stock this time," John touched his head.

"By the way, do you think we will continue to hold on or leave now?" Heidi asked with concern.

"If conditions permit, I think it's okay to wait any longer. It's good to sell when the stock price doubles. If there is no other better investment intention, then I suggest choosing to hold for a long time is actually a good idea,"

"Will it double?" John's eyes lit up. "How long do you expect it to take?"

"The shortest half a year, the longest one year," said Feng Yiping.

"Dad, if you don't have a better idea, just listen to him. I bought 50,000 shares this time and plan to hold them for a long time," said Ma Ling.

John was still cautious, "Are you so confident in Google?"

"Yes, in the short term, Google's advantages in the online advertising field will be difficult for anyone to shake. Its revenue will rise sharply for a long time. This will be intuitively understood when the third quarter financial report is released next month," said Feng Yiping.

"That's a look," John nodded. "You know we're here because of hurricanes. I have another idea about hurricanes. Look, Silicon Valley's strengths are the ability to write various programs. So, can we write a set of software that can predict the probability of hurricanes in the coming year?"

Feng Yiping already knew about what John was going to say. On the other side, Heidi and Marling watched them talk very well, and smiled and got up and walked into the house.

"Then, based on the result, we can try crude oil futures," John said his thoughts.

"This is one direction," Feng Yiping nodded. "I think we can make several models, but John, even if the prediction is correct, I think such an investment is unlikely to bring too ideal returns."

"I believe you have also noticed that during Hurricane Charlie, London Brent crude oil prices only fell slightly, which is a result of the combined effect of the situation in Iraq."

"If you want such a small fluctuation, if you want to have a big return, you will definitely need to invest a lot. So, I think this investment is not proportional to the return."

Feng Yiping's words are actually polite. John's idea seems to be good, because Florida is the state with the most crude oil produced in the United States. When a hurricane occurs, oil production will naturally be interrupted. Sometimes oil wells in the Gulf of Mexico will also be stopped. In addition, some crude oil waiting to enter the port will lag behind, which will definitely have an adverse impact on the US crude oil supply.

However, the American people and the international market have long been adapted to this situation, mainly because hurricanes in the United States and tornadoes that will have huge adverse effects on production and life are really common.

Broadly speaking, the United States, which has frequent seas on both sides, is also a country with frequent natural disasters.

Mainly hurricanes and tornadoes.

According to scientists' analysis, from the beginning of the last century to the present, the United States has encountered about 50 hurricanes every year. Although the number has declined in the past 20 or 30 years, its quality has been on the rise.

In the 1970s, the United States experienced an average of 10 Category 4 and 5 hurricanes a year, but from the 1990s to now, this number has reached 18.

As for tornadoes, the United States is a well-deserved homeland of tornadoes. According to statistics, on average, there will be 5 tornados in the United States every day. On the most day, more than 300 tornados broke out across the country!

There are often coal mine accidents in our country, and hurricanes and tornados are often found in the United States.

They are so dense that it can be said that apart from those with extremely destructive power, not only do the people fail to respond, but the market will not react too much. It will always return to normal after that.

"What you said makes sense," John pulled out a cigar, thought about it and put it back. "It seems that this is not a good idea, otherwise the guys on Wall Street must have done it."

In fact, his idea is somewhat like taking the school exam.

As a successful businessman, he sometimes feels a little dissatisfied with Feng Yiping, a young man who has given birth to a son with his daughter and has become a super rich man. He is a man!

Feng Yiping's analysis, whether he had paid attention to this possible opportunity before or was analyzing this issue now, he still convinced him.

Inside the house, Heidi took her daughter to make some cupcakes, "Will he come often?" Finally, she had the opportunity to be alone with her daughter, so she asked this question she was most concerned about immediately.

"I'll come here at least once two days, play games with Vincent, tell him stories, and have dinner together,"

"Where is the evening?"

"It's rare to stay," said Ma Ling.

"Oh, fortunately Vincent is in kindergarten during the day," Heidi said.

"Mom," Ma Ling's face turned a little red. Feng Yiping had definitely fulfilled his obligations in this regard.

"That's good," Heidi nodded with some relief. In this regard, it is actually a weather vane.

"Are you used to such days?"

"It's pretty good," Ma Ling sucked the chocolate sauce on her fingers. "Don't you feel annoyed sometimes when you are with your dad every day?"

"You girl," Heidi put the cake in the oven, "as long as you think it's good,"

"I think this is a very ideal state. It is not too distant, but also maintains a sense of freshness. It also has its own space and time," Ma Ling put some nuts and fruits into the plate.

"Mom, do you know, we recently took a look at a house on the top of the mountain, a Tuscan city-style castle with more than 18,000 square feet, and vineyards, orchards and gardens. Ping liked it very much. He said that such space would make Vincent closer to nature,"

"Tomorrow is just the weekend. How about you take your uncle and aunt to see it tomorrow? They are experts," Feng Yiping said when he heard Ma Ling say this.

"Okay, what do you think John," Heidi asked her husband.

"Yes," John looked at his watch, "Can you pick up Vincent in kindergarten?"

"I'm sorry uncle and aunt. I have a few itineraries tomorrow that I can't push. The day after tomorrow, I have to leave for Seattle, so...,"

"It's okay," Heidi said hurriedly.

"Or why we'll go to Seattle together?" Ma Ling suggested.

…………

Ma Wenchen and the other two were walking out of a shopping mall with a few big bags. Yang Shan, who had never talked much, couldn't help but say, "Some things in the United States are really cheap."

Pang An was busy playing with the various shots he had just bought and had no time to pay attention to him. Ma Wenchong said, "Yes, but it's very expensive to become an American citizen."

"These are available now, or do you want to go back to the hotel?"
