Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 2 Ethan Jones
Traveling through this kind of thing is actually quite dreamy.

Because even Ethan himself didn't know why he, a Chinese who lived in New York in 2023, came to America in 1975 two months ago and became the guy named Ethan Jones today.

Ethan only remembered that he was walking on his way to work that day.

Suddenly I heard an exclamation, saying that some bank had gone bankrupt and could no longer withdraw money, and someone was going to jump off the building.

Ethan was so excited about this big melon, he wondered who the unlucky guy had put money in a Silicon Valley bank that only took institutional deposits.

but……

As soon as he looked in the direction of the voice, he found a shadow falling from the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger.

Then his eyes went dark and he came here.

It was the first time that Ethan was a little excited when he encountered this kind of thing that closed and opened his eyes, and his whole life passed.

After all, this is a reopening!The dream of countless people!

But after he merged with the memory of the original owner of his body, he couldn't be happier.

There is no other reason, it is purely because the story of this child is really a bit miserable.

Ethan Jones was born in Santa Clara County, California in 1955. His mother was a tenured university teacher and his father was a professional soldier.

According to common sense, this kind of family composed of iron rice bowls should have a very happy life.

But unfortunately, when the original owner of the body was nine years old, because of the Beibu Gulf incident, his father was forced to set foot on the battlefield of Cochin Kingdom. stay there forever.And his mother, after receiving the news from the front line, became ill from depression and finally passed away.

Of course, if it's just these, then forget it.

What is really disgusting is actually the compensation Ethan Jones received.

Since Ethan Jones' father was not directly killed on the battlefield, but died of wound infection during the treatment process after leaving the front line due to injuries, so his name did not become one of the 58315 One, so you can't enjoy the highest standard of sacrifice compensation in the beautiful country.

Those confirmed soldiers can bring the family a burial fund of close to [-] US dollars, and a one-time pension of close to [-] US dollars, and then receive a sum paid by the insurance company with eight Life insurance in the amount of [-]. In addition, family members can also enjoy great welfare subsidies. For example, minor children are about [-] U.S. dollars per year. The subsidy for living allowances can be received by all family members , a monthly subsidy paid according to the national income standard.

But what about the unconfirmed?
For example, the pension that Ethan Jones received was only a few thousand dollars. Compared with the tens of thousands of others, it had shrunk several times. The life insurance benefits paid by the insurance company also decreased correspondingly due to the content of the death.

Fortunately, even if the original owner of the body suffered the death of both parents and compensated for different blows, he did not join any hippie anti-war organization because of this, and did not get involved with those nasty guys. Completed his junior high school and high school studies, and found a marketing job in the California branch of Mirowa.

The first task I received was to send invitation letters to colleagues engaged in the video game industry under the leadership of the leader, asking them to arrive at the new product launch site of Mi Luohua on time, because at that time, Mi Luohua will send The world announced that it has created the world's first commercial home game console, Odyssey.

But it is regrettable that when writing the invitation letter, Ethan Jones sent a letter to a person named Nolan Bushnell, and this guy, after watching Mirov's new product launch conference, It directly copied the built-in table tennis game and created an electronic arcade machine called "Pong".

Then, this guy founded an epoch-making company in the history of video games, Atari.

In just two years, this company has grown from scratch and earned tens of millions of dollars!
When such a fact was presented in front of the original owner of the body, he was worried that he would be held accountable and called himself unlucky, so he died of depression.

But now, it can only be Ethan who traveled cheaply.

As for why it is cheap?

Isn't that because Ethan has experienced the baptism of the Internet age!

Ethan, who came from the era of the information explosion, knows that the pressure from the original owner of the body is purely the result of capitalist PUA!
Sending out an invitation letter can be held accountable?Atari's profit is fixed loss?
What a joke!
If this is all right, then those who say their gender is an aircraft carrier, don't they all become aircraft carriers?
In this way, America is still repairing a fart Ford!
With just a word of mouth, there will be countless more nuclear-powered money printing machines in the world!

In the process of reminiscing, Ethan Jones also found his Chevrolet Chevrolet in the parking lot of Mirov, and drove this second-hand car bought with 500 dollars to Wells Fargo Bank, the most powerful local bank. The resulting $2320 was deposited.

Although the money is compensation, it still needs to be declared and taxed. On the American side, this kind of income is punitive compensation paid by the employer. It does not need to pay social insurance tax, but it needs to pay income tax.

It's just that America's tax declaration process is to declare the income of the previous year before April 4 every year, and his body's original owner has already finished last year, so the rest will be done next year.

Re-boarding the car, turning around, Ethan stopped when passing Kroger, the largest supermarket in America at the moment.

Went in and bought four dozen eggs, 77 cents a dozen, five pounds of bread, 28 cents a pound, six pounds of beef, $1.39 a pound, two buckets of two-gallon milk, $1.57 a gallon.

Including California's 6.5% sales tax, the total paid was $17.

Put the things on the car, and then galloped in the direction of Los Gatos.

Because Ethan's house is there.

Mirov's branch in California is located in Fremont, Alameda County, only 880 miles away from Los Gatos, Santa Clara County. It takes up to four to 10 minutes to get there from Highway [-]. .

At around twelve noon, Ethan Jones' Chevrolet stopped in this small town of only 2 people.He walked into a two-story country house with his things in his hands. As soon as he entered the house, a milky buttery smell entered his nose.

"Oh! Aunt Linda! Are you frying steak?"

Ethan sniffed the scent and walked into the kitchen.

The sound behind her made a middle-aged woman who was busy in front of the gas stove turn her head away.

Then she laughed, waving the steak tongs.

"Yeah! Ethan! You have a good nose, I'm frying steak! I bought a new type of beef today, which is said to be a new breed of Wagyu and Angus cattle. It has not yet been mass-produced. It's just in the cultivation stage. I don't know if it's true or not, but when I picked it, the marble pattern was very beautiful. Of course, its price is also very beautiful, and I charged me fifteen dollars for five pounds of filet! That's fifteen dollars! My God! Why don't they grab it!"

Ethan laughed when he heard the way of speaking like a female floweratura. He held up the things in his hands to show them, and then said regretfully: "Aunt Linda, if I had known that you could buy such good beef, I would not have gone Kroger."

"Hey! Boy! What are you talking about!"

Aunt Linda gave Ethan an angry look, and immediately took the things in Ethan's hands like a baby.

"Beef is a good thing. You can never have too much of it! Because of the oil issue, the price of everything on the market is going up crazily. If you buy it one day earlier, it is equivalent to buying a bargain! What? You also bought eggs and milk ? Oh! You did a great job with the Gu family, my baby!"

Aunt Linda stuffed the things into the refrigerator, and then wanted to hug Ethan.

But before she reached out, another thick voice came over, "Ethan, what did you do today to make Linda so happy? I heard the sound of the house before I even drove the car into the yard." Do you know what it's like to hear the sound of surprise? It's like Henry Fonda has seen gold!"

The loud voice made the two of them turn their heads.

Then, they saw a middle-aged man in a linen shirt and denim trousers.

This man has a rosacea and a big belly that mature men can't escape, and when he speaks, he still straightens up.

"Oh dear, you're back."

After seeing him, Aunt Linda opened her arms directly.

"Yes, I'm done."

The middle-aged man smiled and hugged.

"Good afternoon, Uncle Thomas."

Ethan Jones is no exception.

"Good afternoon, Ethan."

Uncle Thomas patted his nephew on the vest too.

After saying hello to each other, he also learned the reason for the other party's excitement from his lover.

At the same time, with a keen mind, he also discovered a problem.

"Ethan, didn't you go to work this morning? Why do you have time to go to the supermarket so early in the morning?"

"Isn't that because what I told you before has come true?"

Ethan didn't hide anything, he spread his hands coolly and said, "I was fired, and I was notified as soon as I got to work."

Uncle Thomas was taken aback by his nephew's words, and then immediately smiled and said, "So that's the case? No wonder! I said why you came back at noon today. Usually you leave early and return late."

While speaking, he took out another box of Winston from his pocket, took out one, and handed it to Ethan. Seeing his nephew wave his hand, he put it in his mouth regretfully, took out the lighter and lit it.

"It's good not to like smoking." He muttered.

While puffing, he said again: "Ethan, don't be sad, it's a good thing to be fired, Mi Luohua may be a good company, but the management inside it stinks like shit! You clearly The invitation letter was sent according to the list given by the leader. First, they did not invite outsiders without authorization, and second, they did not omit any important people. But in this case, after something happened, they actually put the responsibility on you? Damn! Animals will go to hell!"

"However, it's all right now, you left that ghostly place! Even if you don't get compensation, you can find a better place to go. This is actually a kind of relief for you. This is really God's blessing! "

Uncle Thomas crossed himself.

"But I got compensation." Ethan said.

"What?" Uncle Thomas was a little surprised, "You got the compensation?"

"Yes, 2N+1 compensation, and this week's salary." Ethan smiled and pointed to his temple, "I just used a little brain, and then used a little Magic must defeat magic skills."

"Oh! This is really great!" Uncle Thomas happily patted Ethan on the shoulder, and then said loudly to his wife: "Linda! Is there any white wine from Gallo Winery at home?" ?”

"Yes, what's the matter?" Aunt Linda, who had been listening all the time, immediately replied.

"I want to have a few drinks with Ethan! Celebrate him leaving that damn company!" Uncle Thomas put his arms around Ethan, and said with a big smile, "I believe this will mean a brand new start for him! Miro Hua those ignorant guys will definitely regret today's decision!"
