Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 62 Dino 246 GTS
What kind of concept is it to earn 100 million in half a year?
If you put this kind of thing in Ethan Jones' previous life, it can't be said to be ordinary, it can only be said to be inconspicuous. After all, in that era, one hundred thousand assets could not live, and one million assets was poor. Tens of millions of assets can only be on a blind date, and billions of assets are worthy of being a human being.

No way, who would let a guy with a net worth of over [-] million grab a lot of it on Tieba and Weibo?
But in this day and age...

100 million US dollars, that is very awesome!
You must know that the cost of the world's first Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which only entered service this year, is only a few small targets, far less exaggerated than the billions in later generations.At present, the Lakers in the City of Angels next door are worth tens of millions, but ten years ago, in September 1965, when Jack Cook bought the team, he spent only 9 million. dollars.

Therefore, when Ethan Jones came out of Atari, his mouth never closed again!
Although from a long-term point of view, "Snake Game" can certainly not bring him more benefits than MOS 6502 and Apple, but this is not important, right?Because the biggest advantage of video games is that they can collect a lot of cash in a short period of time!
When the real money that means chic appears, there are too many things Ethan Jones can do!
Just like...

He first went home and shared the good news with Linda, and then rushed to San Jose to buy a car.

In fact, when he got the first dividend, Ethan Jones wanted to change the car, because the second-hand Chevrolet was uncomfortable for him to drive, but it was impossible to confirm the follow-up income at that time. Passionate socializing forced him to leave home, so he temporarily put the car change on hold.Later, the appearance of MOS 6502 and Steve Jobs' request for help kept Ethan Jones busy, and he simply forgot about changing cars, which could be done or not.

But now...

The second batch of dividends is about to come down, so how reserved is he!
You have to buy, buy, buy!
After wandering around San Jose, Ethan Jones stopped in front of a car dealership.

In their showroom, parked a two-seater red sports car with a streamlined body, a low front end and a high rear end.

Its headlight is a raised circle, standing in front of the car and looking at it, you can even feel that what is parked in front of you is not a car, but a frog staring at you cutely.

This style made Ethan very interested, but after he got out of the car and asked about the sales, the brand that the other party reported made Ethan stunned.

"Dino? What brand is this?" Ethan was puzzled.

The salesman replied naturally: "Sir, Dino is a sub-brand of Italian manufacturer Ferrari. It is a brand created by the founder Enzo to commemorate his late eldest son Dino. The car you see now is called Dino 246 GTS. , is a convertible sports car, it uses a 2.4-liter V6 engine with a maximum power of 240 horses, has an independent suspension system, and is also equipped with a vacuum booster..."

'It turned out to be a Ferrari? '

'I've never heard of this. '

In his previous life, Ethan had no money to play with cars, and his understanding of cars was limited to the Ferrari, Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 that often appeared in Shenhao's novels, so he didn't know what the configuration of the sales paper meant. What.

However, he is clear about one thing, the handsome car in front of him is very environmentally friendly.

Because it is a V6 engine!Not a V8 engine!

It does not meet the standard of American large V8, environmental protection and special code!

"How much is this car?" Ethan asked, who was interested.

"Sir, this car is priced at $950 naked."

"I want it, how do I pay?"

"Sir, do you have a Bank America card?"

"No."

"Then we can accompany you to the bank and transfer the money directly."

The Bank Americacard in the sales mouth is actually the future credit card brand VISA.

Credit cards have been around for a long time. In 1950, Diners Club launched the first credit card in the United States. It was a small paper card. Although it can be credited, it can only be used in restaurants, and requires monthly payment. Amount repayment.

In 1958, American Express launched the first plastic credit card, as well as the service of credit payment in multiple merchants and regions, and allowed cardholders to pay in installments. At this point, the notorious rotating credit appeared.

In 1966, Bank of America pushed its credit card service to the whole rice, Bank America card became the first universal credit card, and ten years later, next year, in 1976, Bank America card will change its name to VISA.

Since then, VISA, the world's leading card payment institution, has officially entered the stage of history.

Since Ethan had learned this financial history when he was in school, Ethan didn't show any surprise when the salesman said he could pay by credit card, but he was a little puzzled by one point, "Don't you accept checks?"

This question stunned the salesman for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Sir, Frank Abagnale has to be responsible for this matter. I heard that he was released from prison on parole last year? It turns out that we received checks, but Before this gentleman finds a reasonable, legitimate, and economical job, it is indeed a very difficult thing for us to collect checks."

"Please forgive me."

"Okay, I understand." Ethan laughed.

Because he thought of a movie, that is "Cat and Mouse Game" directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Xiao Li and Tom Hanks.In the movie, the prototype of the character played by Xiao Li is Frank Abagnale.

Since he didn't have a credit card, Ethan went to the bank to complete the transfer according to the car purchase steps mentioned by the other party. When the accompanying salesman got the receipt issued by the bank, the brand new Dino 246 GTS belonged to Ethan.

With the new car in hand, what Ethan wants to do the most is of course to go out and show off~
Jumping to San Francisco, he fueled the car in neutral at the entrance of Frank's store. When the other party rushed out in surprise and wanted to find out, Ethan immediately put into gear and drove away with a smile on his face.

Eh!Just don't show it to you!

Sneaking to the door of Jobs' house, he continued to pump the gas in neutral. When Jobs looked envious and wanted to touch him, Ethan put into gear again and ran away happily.

Eh!You can't touch it!

Then, he went to Thomas's orchard, blew the gas in front of him, and...

Thomas grabbed him by the collar and dragged him out of the cab.

He watched helplessly as the other party sat in.

Touching the brand new steering wheel, Thomas' face was full of envy, "Oh! Fxxk! How much did you pay for this car?"

"Together with the tax increase, it's about [-]."

"Sxxt! This car costs seventeen thousand?" Thomas' eyes widened. "Why don't they rob?"

"Because it's Dino!" Ethan patted the car door and said, "Ferrari's brand!"

Ethan thought that he would be reprimanded by Thomas for buying such an expensive car, but who would have thought that after hearing the brand of Ferrari, this guy immediately turned on the ignition, put it in gear and stepped on the gas, and ran away in one go~
Looking at the figure who left suddenly, Ethan was stunned, and shouted: "WTF?!!! Thomas, what are you doing???"

Before the words fell, Thomas' excited voice came from the air——

"Let me drive this car!!! Let me go for a drive!!! Stop by my old friend for a show!!!"

'...'

Ethan never expected that the car he just bought would be robbed like this?
Seeing that Thomas really had no intention of turning back, he could only climb into the Ford pickup that had been abandoned by the other party and prepare to go home.

Just as he was about to turn the key to start the ignition, he suddenly discovered another problem——

"Fuck! This guy didn't leave the keys in the car!"

"Oh!"

Hammering the steering wheel hard, Ethan reluctantly entered the lounge of the orchard and made a phone call home.

"Hello ~ Linda? Yes, yes, it's me. I was thrown in the orchard by Thomas. See if there is a way to pick me up..."

"What, you ask me why I didn't come back by myself? Oh! My car was robbed by him!"

"Yes! A new car! A convertible sports car! He insisted on asking me to lend it to him, saying it was for a drive!"

"Hello? Hi! Linda? Oh Dxxm!"

phone hung up...

And just when Ethan was sulking, the sound of "beep beep" appeared.

Looking up, outside the window, the flamboyant red sports car is back.

Looking at the puzzled Ethan, Thomas in the car shouted, "Aren't you coming over?"

"I really thought I was going to steal your car!"

"I just had fun and came back when I ran to the intersection!"

"This car is great, return it to you~"
