In the afternoon of the same day, Zhao Meng also learned that Yang Jing "made a little money".
Of course, when Zhao Meng learned the news, his expression was almost no different from Lin Dan's.
On the way to drive from San Francisco to Los Angeles along the famous Route 1, Lin Dan explained Zhao Meng's mood at that time in one sentence.
"Hell boy!
People are envious and jealous of the guy!
This is the last sentence that Uncle Zhao said.
Lin Dan said to Yang Jing while changing gears and refueling neatly to overtake a car in front of him, while learning Zhao Meng's tone.
Yang Jing, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, laughed, "I didn't expect that even Uncle Zhao couldn't hold his breath, should I be proud, or should I be proud?"
” Lin Dan rolled his eyes, and his mouth was more fragmented than a car.
"Wow, Xiao Linzi, you'd better slow down, we're going to go over the fast limit" Xiao Linzi's title made Lin Dan roll his eyes again, but his speed slowed down.
Yang Jing squinted slightly, and clearly saw from the rearview mirror that the car driven by Chris and John was close behind, and behind Chris and John's car, there was also a Chevrolet full-size SUV of the same style, and in the car were two other newly hired bodyguards.
When Yang Jing's net worth was only $30 million before, he already had two bodyguards, Chris and John, and now he has become an out-and-out billionaire, and it is reasonable to add two more bodyguards.
Originally, Yang Jing didn't want to engage in such a big battle, but Zhao Meng said nothing, in Zhao Meng's words: "You are now a billionaire, even if you look at the whole United States, there are not many people who can be richer than you, so you must pay attention to your own safety."
This is the United States, not China, with your current net worth, I don't have four bodyguards. ” Yang Jing thought about it and agreed.
In Zhao Meng's words, Los Angeles is not San Francisco, and Chinese people are not popular in Los Angeles.
And Chinese people usually carry cash with them when they go out, which is something that is known throughout the United States, so in big cities such as Los Angeles and New York, Chinese have always been the primary target of those damn robbers.
The most important thing is that most of those robbers are addicts, and it would be better if they didn't commit the crime when they committed the crime, but if they happened to catch up with the addiction, it was easy to cause more harm to the victims.
Those addicts really don't care about their addictions, in case Yang Jing encounters such a person, then he must have bodyguards to protect him, otherwise the consequences are unpredictable.
So, when Yang Jing and Lin Dan drove to Los Angeles the next day, Chris and John introduced their partners in the same squad in the Titan organization.
When Chris and John were in the Titan organization, there was a work team, and Clark McCann was the fire support of the team, who was five big and three thick, wearing black suits and sunglasses, which was the standard meat shield bodyguard in the movie.
The other guy was George Bruce, who was also a very strong man.
With the addition of these two, Yang Jing's trip in the United States will become safer.
Four people can form two squads and protect Yang Jing 24 hours a day.
The famous Highway 1 is 460 miles long, connecting Los Angeles and San Francisco at the north and south ends, and is known as one of the most scenic highways in the United States.
Yang Jing and the others set off from San Francisco at 9 a.m., and at noon they had lunch in the residential community outside Vandenberg Air Force Base, the largest air base on the west coast of the United States.
However, standing in the distance, you can also see the fighters constantly taking off and landing, as if the base is on some training mission, and the fighters take off and land more frequently.
"Boss, do you see these two fighters that have just taken off?
That is the famous F22 Raptor fighter, which is currently the most advanced fighter in the world and the most powerful fighter in combat.
The two fighters formed a standard two-plane formation, which was supposed to conduct routine offshore patrol training.
Clark McCann, who was five big and three thick behind him, said with great certainty.
Before this strong man joined, Chris had introduced Clark McCann, this guy is not tall and big, and he also serves as a fire support in the squad, but in terms of military combat ability, Clark is the best in the whole squad and even the entire Titan organization.
Don't look at this guy's big size, but this guy can play everything from the F22 Raptor to the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, and he plays it very well.
Yang Jing put down the binoculars, turned his head to Clark and asked, "Clark, do you know these things?"
” Clark nodded, and George Bruce next to him said with a smile: "Before Clark retired, he was the elite of the SEAL (Navy SEALs) elite, he had been exposed to many high-end weapons of the US military, and when he was on a mission in Afghanistan, he once drove an F22 to carry out precision air strikes on a terrorist base."
Clark seemed reluctant to mention the previous incident, and smiled and waved his hand to stop his friend's explanation, looking very modest.
"Wow!"
Yang Jing gave Clark a thumbs up in surprise, although George didn't finish speaking, Yang Jing could understand the meaning behind these explanations, so he didn't hesitate to give the newly recognized bodyguard a big appreciation.
"So, when we get to Los Angeles and finish our errands, can we find a gun shop and have a few shots?
Clark, you know I'm from China, and I've never touched a gun, I want you to teach me. ” Clark smiled and said, "Boss, it's not enough to have a gun shop, we need to find a gun shop with a shooting range."
It just so happens that I know that there are several gun shops that have shooting ranges, and I can take you there to play if you want. ” ended the conversation, and several people continued to drive on the road, but at this time, Yang Jing's car was not driven by Lin Dan, Clark took over the steering wheel controlled by Lin Dan and drove for Yang Jing and Lin Dan in person.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, their group of three vehicles arrived in downtown Los Angeles.
In fact, Los Angeles sits right in the Los Angeles Basin.
This basin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, one side faces the sea, except for the local hills, the ground is flat, the average altitude is only 84 meters, and the highest point is 1548 meters high.
But in this wide basin, there are extremely rich oil resources.
Even now, this huge basin is known as "half urban and half oil field", which is enough to explain the rich oil resources of the Los Angeles Basin.

In fact, California has long been known for its abundant oil seedlings – outcrops of oil in the earth's crust – one of the most important signs of finding oil deposits – and the native Indians have been doing business with it.
In the nineteen-fifties of the nineteenth century, there were people who did a special study of oil seedlings in the Los Angeles Basin, but these people never connected the abundant oil seedlings on the surface with the huge oil reservoirs underground.
It wasn't until more than 20 years later that the first commercial oil well in the Los Angeles Basin was drilled in Pico in the northern part of the Los Angeles Basin, and the hole was based on the outcropping of oil seedlings.
The successful drilling of this oil well has given the exploration and drilling of commercial oil wells in the Los Angeles Basin a golden rule, that is, no oil seedlings will be drilled!
In fact, this golden rule did play a huge role in the early exploration process, and the first large oil field in the Los Angeles Basin, the famous Los Angeles City oil field, was discovered in 1892.
In 1890, Los Angeles, with a total population of less than 50,000, also caused a large number of oil workers to come to this small city because of the discovery of this oil field, which played an immeasurable role in promoting the future development of Los Angeles.
Just as San Francisco was built because of the gold mines, Los Angeles actually thrived because of oil.
With the discovery of the Los Angeles City oil field, more capital has rapidly shifted from the East Coast to the West Coast, and the economic giants represented by the Rockefeller family have made enough money on California oil.
In the three years from the discovery of the Los Angeles City oil field to 1895, the production of 300 wells in the oil field increased to 7.92 million barrels per day, which attracted a lot of money to Los Angeles.
With the help of huge funds, the Mead Wesan set field with reserves of 2.5 billion tons was discovered in 1894 and the Kern River field with reserves of 85 million tons was discovered in 1899.
The discovery of these oil fields has further stimulated the influx of capital and accelerated the development of Los Angeles.
In the first two decades of the twentieth century, huge amounts of money and a large number of people completely turned the entire Los Angeles Basin into a steel jungle lined with oil derricks.
The Laaveneu oil field with reserves of 1.7 billion tons, the Montebello oil field with reserves of 1.2 billion tons, the Huntington Beach field with reserves of 1.5 billion tons, and the Elk Hills field with reserves of 1.8 billion tons And the now famous Long Beach in Los Angeles was actually an oil field a hundred years ago, because it was there that people discovered the famous Signal Hill oil field!
Yang Jing once saw what Long Beach in Los Angeles looked like in 1937 in a black-and-white photograph.
If Yang Jing hadn't seen that black-and-white photo with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe what the picturesque Long Beach would have looked like 80 years ago.
Have you ever seen a sprout?
That's right, Long Beach in 1937 looks like a sprout in that black-and-white photo.
It's just that what grows on the ground is not bean sprouts, but dense steel oil derricks as dense as bean sprouts.
Not only Long Beach, but also Venice, where dense forest-like steel derricks stretch inland from the beach, and you can't see the beautiful scenery that it will be 80 years later.
It can be said that in those days, from Venice in the north to Huntington Beach in the south, almost the entire coastline of Los Angeles was occupied by this dense oil derrick!
This was Los Angeles 80 years ago!
A city completely overrun by steel derricks!
In fact, even now, in Los Angeles, from the city to the beaches, and even on the four islands in San Pedro Bay, kowtow pumping rigs and some old oil derricks, of course, are everywhere in Los Angeles.
What's even more surprising is that even after more than 80 years of exploitation, these old oil wells are still producing a steady stream of black oil.
It's fair to say that the old oil wells near Los Angeles are very, very promising.
This is true for any oil merchant.
Yang Jing also thought so before.
But there is always a gap between facts and ideas, and when Yang Jing arrived in Los Angeles and inspected it for a few days, he felt that his previous ideas really seemed to be a little taken for granted.
Without him, although there are many old oil wells in the urban area of Los Angeles, and even many old oil wells have been closed for a long time, it is still very difficult to reopen those old oil wells here for exploitation.
Los Angeles was born because of oil, and you can see kowtow pumping machines still working everywhere in the streets of the city, but again, with the continuous development of society, the patience of Angelenos with these ubiquitous old oil wells has reached a limit.
Many of the oil wells that are working are even in residential areas, and when the oil turbines are working, the noise generated by the surrounding residents is miserable, and people have been criticizing that the production of oil wells will cause a certain degree of pollution, so many people are now opposing the continued work of those oil wells in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, and there are even proposals to shut down these working oil wells.
As for the secondary or even tertiary exploitation of old oil wells, it is even more difficult.
In 2006, in order to extract oil, the Los Angeles-based St.
James Oil Company injected high-temperature steam into a well.
This is the most common method of oil extraction, which uses steam to heat the thick oil and make it flow for easy extraction.
However, things didn't go the way the company envisioned.
According to the Center for Land Use Interpretation, a Los Angeles-based NGO, pressure deep underground allows viscous oil to seep to the surface, gurgling out of sewers, basements and even highways, emitting "toxic gases."
The St.
James Oil Company's old oil well, located on Hill Street in downtown Los Angeles, was urgently closed and evacuated more than 130 residents, spending weeks pumping oil that seeped into the basement of the home and resurfacing the road Because of this incident, St.
James Oil Company was taken to court.
If you want to reopen an old oil well, wouldn't you be asking for trouble for yourself?
If it had been before the fifties, let alone opening a well, no one would have taken care of you if you had drilled a new well.
But now, the entire Los Angeles Basin is occupied by the city, and there is hardly a vacant lot to be found in the huge basin.
This is the greater Los Angeles area, the second largest metropolitan area in the United States after New York!
In such a prosperous metropolitan area, if you want to reopen old oil wells, it is definitely not ordinary.

It's not the same as before, Los Angeles used to point to oil, and now people don't expect this kind of black and smelly liquid, people have finance, people have movies, people have tourism, people have ways to make money, that kind of black oil, it's no longer popular here!
After a few days of investigation, Yang Jing and Lin Dan came to such an acceptable fact.
It's easy to find old oil wells in Los Angeles, and there are plenty of old oil wells waiting for you.
But if you want to open a well and re-mine, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky!
So after a few video calls with Zhao Meng, who was far away in San Francisco, Yang Jing and Lin Dan had to return to Beaumont, Texas again.
Compared to Los Angeles, it's better than Beaumont!
It's sparsely populated, and it's home to a world-class spindle-top oil field, and most importantly, the old oil field that was last reopened.
If you can continue to "find" an old oil well or a group of old oil wells here, then it is quite convenient to exploit it.
After the group arrived in Beaumont and rested for a day, Yang Jing boarded the rented helicopter.
In Yang Jing's words, buddies have to perform the "Great Hope Qi Technique" in the air, and strive to find another one or a group of old oil wells located in "Shengmen"!
