Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Zhang San didn't know how he got out of the APP company. He kept checking the million-dollar check in his bag, as if he were in a dream.

"Hey Jim, I think we should celebrate when we get back."

Jim watched as Zhang San slapped him; he felt the pain, but Zhang San should be awake by now.

"Yes, Stephen, you succeeded. I can't believe we went into the wrong room." Jim shrugged, indicating his good luck, and then said, "You need to find some accountants right away to handle your company's accounts. My personal suggestion is that you change the company's registered location to Delaware; your taxes will be lower there."

"Jim, your suggestion is fantastic, I'll consider it."

As soon as they left, APP immediately began discussing canceling its cooperation with MS, because their MS Office was so bad that it was practically a junior compared to the future APP Office.

At that time, MS Office was not visual, which made them feel it was very low-end; last year, the two companies went to court and sued MS and HP for copyright infringement related to visual desktops.

Now, they finally have a chance to retaliate.

The following day, APP announced that it would no longer use Microsoft Office, but would instead use the visual APP Office as its PC office software.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar. When did app companies start having visual app offices?

At the same time, it was announced that existing APP computers could be upgraded to APP Office for $256. This news immediately sparked widespread discussion among APP enthusiasts.

On that day, the APP company's stock price rose by 4.3%, and subsequent shareholders also sent inquiries about the reason.

These major shareholders automatically ignored the six-month exclusive authorization. They planned to buy a batch of shares and then drive up the price when the company went public. This operation could be considered insider trading. However, they claimed that the fund operations, which were not related to them, had nothing to do with them.

Zhang San returned to Los Angeles, cashed the checks, and went to the supermarket to buy some food, deciding to splurge for once.

When Allen and his group returned home, they were absolutely stunned.

"Wow, Stephen, you've struck it rich!"

"That's right, Allen, I'm rich!" Zhang San said excitedly. "The negotiations went very smoothly. I went in the morning, and by noon, the deal was done. I'm back this afternoon. Tomorrow, I'll be rich, and you'll all be rich too."

"That's great, you did it, Stephen, congratulations!"

If Jessica hadn't taken the wine from the table and hadn't been drinking it so unceremoniously, Zhang San would have truly believed her.

Helen hugged Zhang San, and although he was not used to this Western way of expressing emotions, he was still immersed in it.

While waiting for dinner, Zhang San said, "We're about to have money, a million US dollars. Do you want stocks or cash?"

He spoke with great emotion, revealing his true feelings.

In the following three days, Zhang San finally finished revising the CD and went to the APP company with the CD.

"This software requires a serial number to activate. I have provided 300,000 activation codes here. Each time you copy it, an activation code will appear. Please do not make a mistake."

Zhang San explained the requirements in detail and let them do it themselves.

This sum of money wasn't settled immediately; he felt that about 300,000 activation codes would be enough. There was also a built-in device that required different activation codes for each copy. Although there was no online authentication at this time, he thought of another way and used a floppy disk to install it. During this process, the floppy disk was readable and writable.

After completing the first batch of work, Zhang San returned to Los Angeles. Someone asked, "It's over 600 kilometers; why take a plane instead of a train?"

North America has tens of thousands of airports, which is very convenient.

Now that we have money, we can't live in the same place anymore, and the company's registered address also needs to be changed.

In fact, this million dollars was quickly spent. A new company was registered in Delaware, and then the new software company in Los Angeles was acquired. In this way, the new software company became a subsidiary of the new company.

Then we moved to a new office area and rented a new place, a villa.

As for Allen and his group, they wanted the money. They felt that money was more important. It wasn't that they didn't want the stocks, but that the money gave them more peace of mind.

"This is our new home, how does it feel?"

Allen and Jessica went to choose a room right away, while Helen said to Zhang San, "We won't have to listen to Jessica's screams anymore."

Zhang San smiled, knowing what the other person meant.

Since moving to their new place, they feel their quality of life has improved significantly, but they feel the rent is a bit expensive.

"I've decided to start another company. Would you like to work there?"

Although they didn't understand, they did whatever Zhang San said. They had nothing, so they just did whatever Zhang San told them to do.

At the time, Zhang San asked Jim if they could register an environmental protection fund. Jim said yes, but registering a charitable fund was quite troublesome because of the short timeframe. They could only buy one and then renamed it the Pan American Recycling Fund.

Shipping from other countries to North America is very expensive, but shipping from North America to mainland China or Hong Kong is very cheap.

"We mainly recycle waste paper and then transport it to the mainland for sale," Zhang San explained, revealing his sales channels.

"Is this profitable?"

Allen asked the question in a skeptical tone.

"Don't sound skeptical. This is definitely profitable, and the profits will be very high." After saying this, Zhang San looked at Jim beside him and said, "Jim, would you like to join us?"

Jim smiled and said, "Of course, I'd love to join the team."

"They might be facing a foreign exchange shortage over there. We can try to find a way for them to use other payment methods..."

Zhang San began to explain his plan, and an hour later, everyone, including Jim, stared blankly.

Jim was a bit better; he reacted faster and felt that the plan wasn't entirely unfeasible.

"Stephen, your plan should work, but will we encounter any difficulties if we do it this way?"

"Jim, remember, you're an Americano. That might be difficult in North America, but it's not difficult in other countries."

Zhang San's words seemed to open a new world for Jim; while Zhang San was just using someone else's name to make a big deal out of nothing.
