American Fortune Life

Chapter 12: Dream of Takeoff

Andy came to the office, pushed open the manager's office door, and saw Carl, Nelson and his new financial advisor, David, all there.

“Hello, boss... ”

“Hey, Andy, you're finally here. Last night... ”

“Boss. ”

“Hello, shut up, Carl! Damn, you fucked me up last night!” Andy and Nelson, the financial advisor David greeted, looked at Carl violently.

“Hi... Isn't that just pot?” Carl's fat face had an indifferent look, just because Andy was angry, his voice became very subtle.

Andy fingered Carl, a helpless look on his face, there was really nothing he could do about Carl. Carl, as an old man who followed him, was very good at what he told him. His broker status was destined to focus only on serving Andy, meeting Andy's needs, even if it was illegal, he would try to satisfy it. As for outsiders, he was just another face, very similar to Huaxia's trick.

Andy knows who Carl is, and there's nothing he can do about it. The Huaxians use people's inertia to think that your talents can be mediocre. You can have all kinds of flaws, but you have to be loyal. With loyalty, everything else is forgivable, as is naturally Andy with a white yellow heart.

“Well, guys, I need to talk to you about the next thing.” Andy sat on Carl's boss chair, looking at the three people who had already sat across the street, said.

“The first thing is to let the NBC and CBS know that Nelson, the next negotiations are bothering you. ”

“The second thing, David, I'll tell you later about my stock account, $22 million for all of Apple's stock, and if you believe me, you can buy some too, don't say I'm not cheap on my own people. ”

“The third thing, Carl, is I need you to ask me about a piece of land on the Black Coast of San Diego, California, and I'm not sure exactly where it is, so I'll take a look at it on Google Earth later. ”

Pound20 million converted to the United States dollar at the 2006 exchange rate amounted to $36.8 million, and although he was rich, he had a useful share of the remaining 14.8 million, apart from buying stocks.

Nelson and David both got their own assignments to leave, leaving only Andy and Carl in the office.

“I left a million dollars for the company to run, and besides that cliff on the Black Coast you helped me find out, you can also help me see if there are any gaming companies for sale. ”

Andy was lying on the couch, with his head resting on the armrest, his feet facing the other armrest, tired and talking to Carl.

“Boss, why are you asking about the game company again?” Carl was a little scratchy about Andy's assignment to himself.

Andy lay down, didn't want to move, turned a white eye on Carl, “If you ask, you ask. You brag about your connections all the time, can't you do something wrong? ”

“How is that possible! I just don't understand what you're doing buying a gaming company. It's a bottomless hole. Millions, tens of millions aren't enough to burn!” Carl was very angry about Andy's questioning, except that Andy knew he was a hothead.

Andy despised him without a word, "Ask so much, I know what I'm doing! ”

“Oh...” Carl smiled, "I thought I cared about you, afraid you'd lose! Who made me your most loyal partner.” He has a thick face and plays love cards immediately after embarrassment.

“You fat fuck, sometimes I really want to fire you, really.” Andy said helplessly.

“Hey, you've fired me several times, but for my loyalty and ability, I don't think you'd make the wrong decision.” Carl changed his dirty expression and said calmly.

“Well, I was defeated by your shame.” Andy accentuated his tone to say he was helpless, "and by the way, the book" Hunger Games "was in my bag, and you took it and you talked to Happy. ”

“Why do you want to publish The Hunger Games now? Didn't you say you had to wait? ”

“No, since learning music has given such a good condition, there is no need to keep it in your hands. Besides, it is only the first volume.” Andy explained to him.

“What about the story that follows? ”

Andy shrugged, “I've got a new idea, a strange story, and I want to write it first! ”

Although Carl's face was very calm, the surprise in his eyes still betrayed him. For Andy's performance in recent months, it was like he was dreaming. He really dug up a gold mine and hugged a gold thigh. For the future Franklin kept pouring into himself, he converged on the wave in his bones, looked at the book on the table, remembered the humiliation he had suffered at CCA, his mouth couldn't help but laugh. As long as Andy kept publishing a new book, this IP copyright was the weapon in his hand, he always had a chance to get revenge.

Andy sat up, drank all the coffee on the table, stood up and moved his lower bones, "Okay, you're busy, I'm back. ”

Keeping an eye on Andy, who had left him with a bunch of things to do while he was flapping his ass, Carl felt helpless, but more thankful that Andy had not abandoned himself, as a middle-aged man whose marriage had failed, his career was now all he had.

His career at CCA brokerage was gone, which gave him the idea of dying, and luckily he had Andy. “Thank you, Andy. I won't let you down. ”

The sun is getting westerly, dyeing the sky into red oranges, and putting gold on the side shadows of the mountain peaks, making everything around it look alive. Quiet and occasionally a few chic little buildings burst out of the hillside, lazily hiding among the bushes.

After dinner, Andy came to the loungers by the pool with a bottle of ice wine and a glass, his right hand in front of his chest with an amber glass, his left hand pillow behind his head, looking up at the starlit night sky, a cool night breeze blowing leaves and sounding sand.

This relaxing and relaxing life was so wonderful, the luxury of the past only made myself more painful, and now this life is available, and I can't help but smile and feel helpless in my mouth.

All of a sudden, the phone rang, moved up and down, took the phone out of his pocket, looked at the electricity display, softly, if you understand.

“Hey, Mom, you haven't slept so late. Isn't it 10: 00 in New York?” Andy picked up the phone and asked calmly.

“Son, I hear you're rich? Tell Mommy what's going on.” There was some excitement on the phone from Li Wanqing.

Andy had that look on his face, and he smiled, "Oh, my God, how could you not have known to care about my health or something? Asking me about my fortune as soon as I came up, I was a big fan. ”

“Go, go, how to talk to Mom, you are healthy, I already asked Liu Yan, this is not a jealous look when your father came back at night makes me curious, my son is amazing, your father's appearance is light and cloudy, in fact, I don't know how happy I am.” Li Wanqing smiled.

“This is what happened... ”

It took Barabella half an hour to tell the story back and forth, and finally Andy asked, "Mom, I'll give you what you want. ”

“Silly son, Mom doesn't need anything, I just hope you're okay. I've read your new book. Although it's scary in some places, I think it reflects the profound meaning of fairy tales.” Andy was warmed by the love of Li Wanqing's words.

“Oh, I see, Mom, you love the stories I write.” Andy controls that exciting part of the body and pretends to laugh lightly.

“Of course I love it, I think the book review of The New York Times is the best,“ In such a work that can be called both fable and magic, both fairy tale and reality, the author has always kept a clean soul, as if he was always wearing a school uniform or the first face of his life. "Mom is so happy for you, now she can finally rest assured.” Li Wanqing was extremely proud to read Andy a book review in the newspaper. The exhilarating emotion overflowed the rhetoric, revealing the mother's love for her son and a sense of relief.

I don't know what part of my soul influences me. Andy's eyes are overflowing with tears, silently wiping them off, and sadness and happiness are intertwined. "This feeling is really annoying! I'll take good care of them. Don't worry!” It seems to be a promise to someone, and it seems to be a self-talk.

“Well, forget it, you rest, if there's nothing to do, go back to New York. Mom misses you a little.” Li Wanqing's voice swallowed a little.

“Okay, Mom, I'll see you when I'm done here. I love you, Mom.” Andy knew he couldn't go on.

“Yeah, well, Mom loves you, too. Okay, you rest!” Li Wanqing seemed to whisper something to the people beside him, and his emotions stabilized.
