America 1979

Chapter 105 He's Already Famous
"My God!" Hearing the noisy voice from outside, Hyman Hawke, who was in a good mood, directly lifted up the final hero Bill with the tackles and guards of the offensive team, "Because of you, we Fans of the Golden Bears are going to fuck hard with fans of the Golden Bears."

After being bumped a few times, Mr. Ferrari returned to the ground he was familiar with, "There was too much movement on the court. What are the county policemen in charge of maintaining order doing? When they first came in, the player passage was almost blocked. "

Martin Kent, who has been sitting on the bench, gave an explanation to a teammate who was in the limelight: "You were playing just now, and you didn't see the transformation from hell to heaven in the audience. How can the county police control such a big scene."

Several teammates from the second and third camps added to Bill the shocking changes just now in detail.

Originally, the fans of the Stanford school team were already desperate. Not only could they not make it to the Rose Bowl this year, they would even lose their axe.However, the last set of coordinated moves of the offensive team was used to revitalize the defeat. The diehard fans of the red and white team jumped up and cheered for the final touchdown. Some even ran to the fans of the Golden Bears who were celebrating in advance. se.

"You didn't see the fans in the front row. In just a few seconds, an old man with white hair went from crying to jumping up and down. He took off his red and white jersey and swung it up."

"There's also a little girl who opened her mouth and yelled right after you broke into the end zone. The only impression I have now is that her mouth seems to be able to fit a human head."

"Actually, our fans are normal. The group of people wearing gold and blue have lost their momentum. If the coaches hadn't been experienced, they might have rushed up to fight."

The noise outside the locker room confirmed this point. The game ended around 05:30, and the football field did not quiet down until seven o'clock.During this period, forty or fifty strong men, including the coaching staff and the logistics team, surrounded the locker room to protect their players.It wasn't until the die-hard fans and neutral fans of the two companies had almost left that Bill and the others dared to change their football protective gear, and went to the dining area of ​​the football stadium to eat the dinner prepared by the nutrition team.

"It's crazy, the limelight is risky." On the way back to the dormitory, Mr. Ferrari was still in a turbulent mood.

……

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, take a look at this, the controversial piece that's gone viral in football circles."

San Jose, Sun Workstation Inc.

August Bullock strode into the workshop on the second floor with a videotape, found the VCR, and asked the company's former employees and shareholders to watch a piece of sports news.

In the picture is the San Francisco Derby that happened last Saturday. In the last 40 seconds, the Stanford school team completed a second reversal. The commentator who did not show the picture carefully analyzed the touchdown situation of the tight end with the ball passing through the crowd and the referee's reaction. Based on the basis of the penalty, it was finally concluded that the touchdown was effective.

Dr. Andy Bechtolsheim, Imran Sasa and others gathered around.Someone questioned: "Why do you want to watch football news?"

"Because this is our seventh largest shareholder, financing is about to begin." August reminded him.

After firing dodgy CEO Coster Marconelli in early April, the startup was profitable in just five months, and their graphics workstations were so popular with customers that the founders prepared to Financing again to expand production.

Because Andy Bechtolsheim has a wide network of contacts, five of their engineers did the first round of financing after the company was founded. At that time, they lacked money to make finished products and test and put them into production, so they accepted purely financial investors.Now that the market has proven that their workstations are successful, it is necessary to introduce a limelight agency with an industry background to help them snowball the scale of a large company.

"Didn't we contact KPCB? Why should we consider this person?" someone asked.

Dr. Andy Bechtolsheim found that the venture capital institution is a well-known KPCB company in the industry. The company has twelve general partners, one of whom is the founder of Intel, John Doerr.

"In addition to resources, fame is also what we need. If he is a big star, our products may be famous as well. What's more, this person is also the smartest football player."

August explained.

"I don't quite agree, this Mr. Ferrari is only a college football player at the moment, he is far from being a national star like Mr. Juice Simpson, his reputation does not seem to be of much use to us at present, and I don't see how much he has. Smart." Some people still raised objections.

Imran, an Indian algorithm engineer, corrected the colleague’s statement, “Because he invested in our company, he deserves the title of the smartest sports star. Dr. Andy, what’s your opinion? Mr Ferrari continues to invest so that his shares are not diluted."

During the discussion among these engineers, the programs on the videotape have changed four times, all of which are well-known sports programs or news columns with high ratings. Apart from the controversy in the San Francisco Derby, even Bill A controversial attack made by Ferrari in ninth grade was pulled out of the corner of history by reporters.

Andy Bechtolsheim in a suit looked at No. 88, which appeared in different programs in the video, "I think he can continue to follow up in this investment, so that his shares will not be diluted. .”

"Why? His fame doesn't add much to our product sales, and he's not very well-known yet." The same person from before, the blond engineer has always opposed it.

Dr. Andy pointed to the video tape, "He is already famous. As far as I know, Mr. Ferrari is currently a sophomore and is already the main offensive player of the Stanford school team. Our alma mater is also a dozen or so strong teams in the country. He entered the rich There is no problem with professional teams. After he has played for a few years and has accumulated enough reputation, our consumer products should also enter the market, and the reputation of this shareholder may help a lot.”

He is the No. [-] employee of Sun Workstation Company, the largest shareholder of the company, and the technical core of the team.After Dr. Andy finished his opinion, most of the founders agreed to let Bill Ferrari enter the next round of investors.

……

Sunday night.

Sophia, who has been promoted to the chairman of the Social Council, once again organized a new student sorority, the main purpose of which is to add new boyfriends and girlfriends to the old students.Bill, Adam, Martin, Arthur, who became sophomores, also participated in this year's sorority. Among them, only Bill came to find a girlfriend seriously, and most of the other three participated in the party with the idea of ​​stealing.

"Adam, do you want to repeat the legend of last year's one-on-three?"

On a couch, Bill, who looked like he entered a supermarket to pick out goods, secretly searched for a beautiful woman with his eyes, but talked non-stop with his teammates.

"I'm old, my two girlfriends can't feed me, how can I go to expand the army?"

That is to say, but Adam is also choosing a concubine for himself, and the purpose of his coming tonight is to change a new bed partner.

The same goes for the other two rugby players, and while they both have titular girlfriends, it's better for their health and mind to sneak out occasionally.

The size of the rugby players is very eye-catching, not to mention that there are popular players like No. 88. They only sat for seven or eight minutes, and four or five waves of girls came to strike up a conversation. After being rejected by the campus star Bill Ferrari, they did not Frustrated, he left, but excitedly chatted with the other three in turn.

Adam, the ugliest girl, is even more popular. Because he is not picky about food, within 10 minutes, three wavy women with different hair colors, including red hair, blond hair, and brown hair, successfully struck up a conversation with this cornerback.Then, the four talking and laughing slowly moved towards the corner.If there is nothing unexpected, the other three will not see Adam Smith until tomorrow afternoon.

"Bill's vision is really high. As far as I know, you have five months of vacancy, right?"

asked Martin Kent.

Although he had no record in the fraternity last year, he quickly left the singles by virtue of his status as the third quarterback of the school team, and he has maintained the speed of changing a new girlfriend in January.

"The main thing is that the women I come into contact with are too ugly, either full of freckles, or their faces look like they are 30 years old."

This is the truth, it does not rule out that beauties also have freckles, but the premise is that the face is good-looking enough and the value is high enough.And after being baptized by the Internet in his previous life, Bill has seen many beautiful women, and his threshold has been raised to a height that an ordinary woman cannot reach, so he would rather be single than wrong his eyes.

Two minutes later, Martin has also chosen his female partner for tonight, leaving only Bill and Arthur Bryan, and the latter is also chatting with a petite blonde girl.

"I knew you were still like this."

A familiar voice came, and then Bill was patted heavily on the shoulder.

He turned around, and it was indeed Sophia.

"What can I do? There aren't many beauties on campus, and they are being ravaged by the football team's livestock every day."

Bill shrugged, saying it wasn't his fault.

Sophia smiled contemptuously, "So I screened for you and found a few freshmen you might be interested in."

She clings to the back of the couch and points out the first-year girl she picks to show Bill.

After shaking his head several times, Mr. Ferrari finally picked a beautiful brunette.

This woman is 1.8 meters tall, and her facial features have the feeling of the actress Elizabeth Debicci he knew in the previous life. She looks neutral, but the capital on her chest proves that she is definitely a woman.

"Olivia, you have a good eye, this is our Italian. Have you figured out how to pick her up?"

Sophia felt like watching her brother leave the singles.

"Uh, go over and say hello and say I want to have sex with her."

Bill really had no experience striking up a conversation in this kind of atmosphere.

"You're too blunt, you scare all the beautiful women away. Listen to me..."

She taught Bill the secret.

Mr. Ferrari, who got the strategy, nodded repeatedly, and when he was ready, he picked up an apple on the nearby table and walked towards Olivia, who was sitting among the female classmates.

Olivia, who was being stared at, looked up at the owner of her gaze, and Bill took the opportunity to look at her while biting the apple.

In the expectant eyes of the woman, Bill just passed them and walked gracefully down the stairs to the second floor.

After that, Sophia will be the matchmaker. She will tell Olivia to find this handsome football player in a study on the second floor.

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket and ask for a monthly ticket.
