Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 175 Yes! Yes! Yes!

"Wow——the scenery here is too beautiful——"

"The clouds are rimmed with gold! The sky is still purple!"

"Oh! Thomas! Evelyn! Look over there! That little white dot is the moon?"

"The moon above the red clouds?—that's really cool!"

Linda, who was wrapped in a down jacket, cheered at the dreamy scenery. Thomas, holding the camera, glanced wildly at his wife's finger, capturing the beauty depicted by the other party, and promised, "Honey, you are right, It's so beautiful here..." At the same time, he kept waving to his daughter, "Evelyn, come here, let's take a picture together..."

The girl who heard the call shuddered, she was a little distracted, and her face was confused, but when the girl saw the father's waving gesture, she instinctively raised a smile and approached.

The beautiful girl in a snow-white coat put her head on Linda's shoulder affectionately, and Thomas, who was holding his wife's waist, also raised the camera—"One! Two! Three! Cheese!"

With a yell, the shutter snapped.

There was a flash, and Polaroid's latest camera spit out a picture with a sizzle.

In front of the burning cloud-like scenery, the family of three showed bright smiles.

This group photo made Linda very happy. After a while, she looked at the photo and pouted again, complaining: "Why didn't Ethan come today! Didn't we agree to watch the sunrise together? It was him before They said they were going to come to Haleakala! What happened? I hid in the hotel and fell asleep!"

After complaining a few words, Linda shifted her gaze to Evelyn again.

"Is he sick? I feel that he seems to be listless these days. If he feels uncomfortable, you should let him go to see him. Vacation is a trivial matter, and the body is the most important thing, You konw?"

The sudden request made Evelyn nod quickly, "Oh—Linda—I know."

Shaking Linda's arm, he explained with a smile: "Ethan is fine, it's just that he called for hours last night, so he couldn't get up early this morning."

"Have you been on the phone for hours?" Linda was puzzled, "Is it a blessing?"

The continuous questioning made Thomas hug his wife's shoulders, and said, "Hey, Ethan has many friends now, so it's normal to send more Christmas greetings."

"You don't need to worry about the interpersonal communication of young people, their ideas are different from ours." While speaking, Thomas also pulled his wife aside, "Let's take another photo here, look how beautiful the sea of ​​clouds is .” Then he waved his hand towards his daughter cryptically.

Evelyn, who got the 'express', was relieved, and backed away with a smile.

When she came to the parking lot, she got into the nanny's car, and the warm air that was always on made her yawn. She was wrapped in a windbreaker and leaned against Da Lao's back seat, curled up and dozed off.

At this moment, the Johnson family is in the Haleakala National Park on Maui, Hawaii. On the occasion of Christmas in [-], they are admiring the sunrise that Mark Twain called the most beautiful scenery in the world. So it was all Ethan's idea to fly here from California.

After spraying Wenlock's investment manager, Ethan asked his secretary Steve Ballmer to contact United Airlines, chartered a Boeing 747, and took his family to the very center of the Pacific Ocean for vacation.

This was actually not his original plan. According to the previous plan, he should have taken his family to Canada to play in the snow this Christmas, but when he told Wenlock's people to leave, he decided leave North America.As for the reason, it is actually very simple, because he was afraid of hearing some news about Apple from Rockefeller.

Although it is very refreshing to spray people, and it is more enjoyable to spray people speechless with reason and evidence, but the guy he sprayed represents Rockefeller after all. When he unceremoniously asked Rockefeller's people to leave his company, That toughness certainly made him feel invincible, but afterwards...

cough cough-

He admitted that he was also afraid of reprisals.

So after having a good time, Ethan ran away with oil on his feet, and after arriving in Hawaii, he didn't pretend to be deaf and dumb when he wanted to know the progress of the incident. He took the initiative to communicate with his own people who were still in California. To know the will of Lawrence Rockefeller.

However, the people on Wenlock's side seemed to be dead, facing the conditions he raised, they didn't even let out a fart.This situation confused him, because they wanted to invest in Apple in the first place!And with the arrival of Christmas Eve and the advent of Christmas, he also understood that the whole negotiation will definitely be delayed until the next year. Although this kind of tug-of-war is very common in the investment industry, the longer it drags on, the less likely Ethan will be. Rest assured, this is not worrying about money running away, but worrying that Rockefeller will amplify his moves.

Therefore, when Christmas came, he also called a group of his friends. Whether it was a holiday or not, he would chat a few words. Stop them, when your opponent is powerful, you can make all mistakes during the confrontation, except that there can be no fire in the backyard.If the opponents start fighting among themselves before they can exert their strength, then don't fight this battle, don't open the company, go home and raise pigs!
There are many calls that Ethan can't make by himself, such as Principal Terman's side, Evelyn has to dial the call anyway, and Barbara's side, it's not appropriate for him to take the initiative to call. , Under his tugging, Evelyn also stayed up late with him.

At first, he thought that after the phone call, he would watch the sunrise with his aunt and uncle, but he didn't know that he hadn't slept well for several nights, so he closed his eyes because he was too sleepy. Evelyn didn't want to call him, so she came out by herself , And this decision to go alone made Thomas discover the clue.

After watching the sunrise and returning to the car, while his wife was going to the bathroom, he asked his troubled daughter, "Have you encountered any trouble recently?"

"Ah—no—" Evelyn was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head in denial.

"It's too late to call a friend."

This explanation made Thomas look suspicious, and took a deep look at his daughter.

After a few breaths, he has made a decision, "Linda wants to go to Whaling Town during the day, I will accompany her, you and Ethan catch up on sleep at the hotel, don't worry about us, Okay?"

"I know you are doing a big business now, and you will definitely encounter different troubles every day, but since you don't want to say it, why don't you let Linda see it?"

"She has lived with me all her life, and she sees farmland every day. All she knows is that our business is great, and there are many congressmen who please us, but she doesn't understand anything else."

"So, don't let her hear something weird?"

"She'll be worried, huh?"

Evelyn was taken aback by Thomas' words.

After a long time, the girl pursed her lips and laughed, and hugged her with open arms.

"Oh—Dad, I love you—"

"Huh—I love you too—"

When the girl rubbed her cheek against Dad's neck, Linda came back after going to the bathroom.

"WowWowWow, what are you father and daughter whispering here?"

Linda's eyes widened, but there was a smile on her face.

"Oh, Evelyn said that she wanted to go snorkeling with Ethan to see sea turtles, and I agreed." Thomas opened his eyes and said nonsense, "Snorkeling is not suitable for us, so we split up today."

"Oh—is that so?"

Linda suddenly realized, "Could you have argued all night because of this matter? I know that guy Ethan, he always likes to bring the family together, but we can't play many projects together, since You have something you want to play, then you go—"

"Pay attention to safety?"

"Even if there are bodyguards, you can't mess around. The power of nature cannot be resisted by humans!"

"Oh, so Thomas has already found out that we are in trouble?" Ethan woke up that afternoon and asked Evelyn with a look of surprise why he didn't wake himself up, and then he heard Evelyn's report, when he found out When Thomas had caught something with a keen sense of smell, he immediately asked: "Did you tell Thomas that we have messed with Rockefeller?"

"Oh Ethan, I'm not a fool—" Evelyn rolled his eyes at him, and she scratched her head after waking up not long ago, "When you think Rockefeller is troublesome, then Thomas will definitely think Rockefeller is bad Victorious, because he experienced the era when Rockefeller swept the world."

"That's good, that's good..." Ethan heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he rubbed his face and said, "Do I seem to be very worried recently?"

"..." This question made Evelyn ask, "Do you want to look in the mirror yourself?"

He took a brief look at the makeup mirror handed by the girl, good guy, the face in the mirror made him think that he was endorsing black people, the dark bags under the eyes were more obvious than the white eye sockets of the future New York manufacturer, not only that , the thin cheeks are still haggard, the unshaven appearance is no different from the homeless on the streets of San Francisco, and the unwashed golden hair is as sticky as a bird's nest.

But even so, he twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed.

"Oh—even if I'm exhausted, I'm still so handsome—"

"If you were a sunny and cheerful boy before, then now a gloomy and gloomy handsome boy—"

"..." The self-conscious words made Evelyn snatch her own mirror.

"go away!"

"Hurry up and pack yourself!"

At the same time, he also falsely preached the imperial decree.

"My dad has spoken, if you make Linda worry, he will beat you!"

Although Ethan's mouth is hard, his body is soft. If not, he wouldn't have given up his home and run away after scolding Wenlock's people.

He called the hotel butler and asked them to give him a set of room service. Then he took a bath with the help of the hotel technician and had a full-body SPA. When he combed his hair back and put on a black leisure coat, After unbuttoning the four buttons of the white shirt and revealing the inner lining...

"Hmm! This face is definitely more handsome than Xiao Lizi!"

"Hehe~"

Since his worry is a bit too much, let's take it back. After all, as the saying goes, don't tell your mother sad things, because she won't be able to sleep if she can't help.

After tidying up his appearance, he extended an invitation to Evelyn.

"Let's go~ let's dive~"

"Now?"

"Otherwise, if we don't go, how will we explain to Linda at night?"

Do a full set of acting!

Ethan's decision made the girl very happy. You must know that Evelyn is a person who wants to raise a baby dolphin at home, and their trip also paved the way for the evening inquiry. When Linda asked the two at dinner When they wondered if they had ever seen a turtle, the photo with the green turtle helped them out.

"Wow, did you touch it?" Linda asked as she flipped through the photos.

"No, the instructor of the snorkeling company we talked to said that it is illegal to touch them." Evelyn smiled and replied, "But it's okay, just keep a few at home in the future."

"Right, Dad?"

"Oh, that's fine, it's fine, it will be built next year after the first batch of harvest comes out, you ask the research institute next to you to produce a blueprint of the manor, and I will get the rest." Thomas replied cheerfully.

Although Ethan doesn't know why Evelyn wants the manor so much, but to be honest, the villa they own now is indeed a little unsuitable for living.It is not easy to arrange security on a public street. It is easy to be followed and monitored by others. If it is not because it is close to Stanford and next to the research park, they can buy some bodyguards from the principal for free. The police in Palo Alto are also there Urged by the school to patrol there every day, the value of the two villas is almost equal to nothing.

and so……

What should be built still has to be built.

After Ethan cleaned up his mood and celebrated the festival with peace of mind, they stayed on Maui Island for three days, and then moved to Kualoa Ranch on Oahu Island, where they lived a leisurely pastoral life.

Although this will be a holy place for Hollywood filming in the future, and many movies such as "Jurassic Park", "Fifty First Dates", "Pearl Harbor" have been filmed here, but in this era, it is still protected. Very good, without the traces of those artificial axes, it is a virgin forest.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the owner here is called Morgan.

As the Morgan family's ranch, no one can develop it until they don't want to develop it.

Sea fishing, surfing, riding horses...

It feels so cool to blend into nature.

This is different from the feeling of staying on my own farm. The former is a kind of joy of harvest, but now, the beauty of seeing cattle and sheep in the wind makes people feel relaxed.

Evelyn felt the same way.

So, before leaving, Ethan also chatted with the administrator here.

When he asked how much the estate was, the other party's answer was simple.

"Mr. Jones, this ranch is an easy purchase for your money."

"But you have to discuss this business with our boss in person."

"We have no right to quote, no right to call the shots."

"Cut—" Ethan snorted in his heart.

According to his thinking, that is, after the administrator quoted the price, he said that he bought it directly, just to catch the other party by surprise and live the addiction of buying and selling.

But who knows that the other party is not fooled, this is boring.

And after he finished his vacation and returned to Palo Alto, on his first day at work, he received a call from Steve Jobs, "The Wenlock people accepted."

"They all agreed?" Ethan asked impatiently.

"Most of them agreed, and only a few were different," Jobs said.

This fact led Ethan to quickly call Ballmer and ask him to drive him to Cupertino. After he saw Wenlock's latest offer, he was relieved that the terms drawn up by Lawrence Rockefeller himself , although they still only pay 1000 million, but the establishment of sales channels and the promise of education purchases from North American universities will definitely exceed 2000 million.

"I think it can be signed, how about you?"

"I'm fine," Jobs said. "The terms are much better than before, and I would have liked to step down as CEO, as long as I kept my chairmanship."

"I just asked my dad, and he said that this clause is already a manifestation of Rockefeller's concession."

The little fat man Woz answered more precisely.

Now that all shareholders of Apple have unanimously agreed, it is natural to introduce external accountants to review the company's accounts and external lawyers to finalize the terms of the contract.

And in the process, Ethan also discovered a problem, that is, the negotiators who arrived today are different from the previous ones, many of them are new faces, when he asked where the previous ones went, they mixed into the team The two middle-aged white men said with a smile:
"Mr. Jones, at your request, our boss fired them."

"?"

This remark stunned everyone present.

Ethan also frowned, and asked suspiciously, "What?"

The two white men continued to laugh and said, "You said earlier that they are not worthy of being investment managers. Our boss thinks what you said is reasonable, so let them go."

As they said that, they also copied three thick documents from the briefcase they carried with them.

"Oh, by the way, this is the information you asked for, and we have brought it too."

"!"

The reappearance of the confirmation made everyone who was working slightly open their mouths.

If it wasn't for the fact that Wenlock's identity could not be faked, they would all suspect that these people were joking.

When these words reached Ethan's ears, the corner of the guy who had been entangled with Rockefeller for several weeks suddenly raised his lips, nodded slightly, and said, "Well, you did a good job."

He waved his fingers, motioning for Ballmer to hold the document.

With his hands behind his back, he left the review meeting room.

That bland performance earned him a gulp of swallowing saliva.

Such a situation made Ethan hold back his laughter, until he got into the car and returned to the company, he waved his arms vigorously, "Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Rockefeller?"

"But so!"

"Hahaha--"
