At the end of June in California, the climate was very comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot. In the afternoon, the warm sunshine shone on John. He stretched out his limbs and floated on an air mattress in the swimming pool. He was only wearing a pair of swimming trunks, showing off his unbridled appearance. own capital.
Kurt, who was holding a stack of photos and documents in his hands, had envy on his fat face.
His handsome appearance, his increasingly strong figure, making money as easy as eating and drinking, everything made him feel extremely envious. Fortunately, he also gained a lot of benefits, otherwise he would have been jealous to death.
Withdrawing his gaze, Kurt sat on an empty lounge chair, took out ice wine from the ice bucket and poured himself a glass. The cold and sweet taste made him sigh that John really enjoyed life.
"Ahem."
Kurt saw that John seemed to be asleep. He didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine here. John was the hands-off shopkeeper and everything almost fell on him. Well, he liked this kind of fulfilling life. Although very tired.
John heard a cough and opened his closed eyes slightly, seeing it was Kurt, "You're here."
After saying that, he stretched his body on the inflatable bed, rolled over into the swimming pool, and slowly swam to the shore. The swimming pool was composed of a rectangle and a circle, very much like a key without serrations.
He picked up a bath towel and draped it casually on his body. Water drops kept dripping on the ground. He wiped his hands, took the photo that Kurt handed him and started to look at it.
"These photos cover all the cliffs on the San Diego Breck coast. Which piece of land are they?" Kurt put down the wine glass in his hand and began to introduce.
"Well, let me take a look first." John looked through the photos and quickly compared them with the pictures in his memory. When he saw the seventh photo, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was still Borderland.
"Is it this place? I asked you to buy a cliff for what purpose? You don't really want to build a house on it, do you?"
Kurt really couldn't guess what John was thinking, and suddenly thought of something, looked at him with a bit of surprise and asked.
"This is the difference between geniuses and mortals. The photos you and I see are the same, but the things in our minds are different. Don't ask, is there no problem with buying this land?"
John glanced at Kurt without explaining much.
"Let me take a look...Well, the document states that the entire mountain, including a small beach, costs 6 million US dollars. To be honest, it's not cheap! Are you sure you want to buy it?"
Kurt looked through the documents and felt that the price was a bit expensive. Although it came with a private beach and the overall area was indeed large enough, it was still a bit expensive.
It is an isolated cliff with few people around it.
"Buy it." John replied calmly, but he was very excited in his heart, "Now it is my free city!"
Seeing John's firm attitude and suppressing the advice on his lips, Kurt couldn't help but depressedly put another pile of documents into his hand, "These are several game companies that are interested in selling. Take a look. "
"Good, Kurt, your work efficiency is really high, I like it."
John took the file with a little excitement. It finally involved a field he was familiar with. Although he made mobile games in his previous life, he can also make computer games.
"I have screened these companies. They are all suffering from operating difficulties due to lack of funds or lack of innovation in game projects. Their personnel composition is relatively complete."
Kurt took great advantage of John's praise, and the smile on his fat face became much brighter. He touched his oily bald head and said to take credit.
"Okay, okay, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work. Come on, let's have a drink." John raised his glass speechlessly.
"Okay, cheers."
I picked out one of the information from several companies. The information showed that this game company called Winster mainly developed casual games, but its profitability was really not good. The company's boss didn't want to continue to lose money, so he decided to Abandon this bad asset.
However, in this land of the United States, sometimes the boss's own company may not always be able to make the final decision. Faced with unemployment, employees quit. Although the current U.S. economic environment is in a state of false prosperity, the work is not good. What will happen to their families if they lose their jobs?
What about their mortgage and car loans?
As a result, the company's employees formed a negotiation team to negotiate with the boss, demanding that the boss not shut down the company. In exchange, the employees could exchange their wages for shares.
However, the boss, Winster, would not continue to burn money on a company with no future, but if the employees continued to make trouble like this, he was a little worried, so he had to make concessions, sell the company, and look for buyers everywhere.
John took a fancy to the casual games developed by this company, especially a 2D pixel game. The technology was fine, but the game itself had no creativity.
"Let's go with this one! Contact them first, and if everything goes well, let Nelson and David review their company together. If you think there's no problem, buy it and get the matter resolved as soon as possible."
"Okay, no problem. I'll call them soon. I believe they won't reject us." Kurt looked at the information in his hand and said confidently.
John deeply believed what Kurt said and believed in his efficiency. Now that he had decided, Kurt picked up the information and walked out while taking out his mobile phone and started dialing.
After hanging up the phone, Winster took a deep breath and was finally able to throw the broken ship out.
"Lena, ask Holden and Bill to come to my office."
"Okay, boss." A clear female voice came from the loudspeaker of the phone.
Within a few minutes, I heard two footsteps coming from the corridor outside the office.
"Dong dong"
"Come in." Winster lit a cigarette in his mouth, his depression gone from the previous period, and his voice became lighter.
Two men in their thirties pushed open the door and walked in. Although their clothes were meticulously dressed, the fatigue and hesitation in their eyes could not be concealed at all.
The possible unemployment made both of them very depressed.
After the two of them sat down, Winston slowly told them about the phone call just now.
After hearing this, Holden glanced at Bill immediately, and both of them were excited at the same time, knowing that they no longer had to worry about unemployment for the time being.
But in an instant, the two of them looked a little nervous again and looked at Winston. After all, he was the boss and the company belonged to him.
"Now is a good opportunity, both for me and for the employees you represent. If the transaction is successful, I will be relieved, you will keep your job and relieve the pressure of life. Okay, I won't say more nonsense, you Go back and tell the employees to cheer up. If you can keep their jobs, you need to leave a good enough impression on the buyers. "
Winster ordered simply.
Holden and Bill nodded, not wanting to waste a moment, hoping to announce the good news as soon as possible to stabilize the increasingly turbulent mood of the company.
John continued to be his hands-off shopkeeper. Apart from working out, writing novels and swimming in the swimming pool. He stayed at home all day without going out. This made the nanny Liu Yan really incomprehensible. Children of this age are not the most noisy ones. Time?
Why can't I see it at all in John?
Maybe it's because I don't have many friends here, so I stay at home writing novels all day without going out.
Liu Yan found a reason that she thought was reasonable, so she came up with an idea and suggested that John raise some small animals, such as cats and dogs, to accompany him to relieve his boredom.
John was a bit dumbfounded and sent Liu Yan out of the study, who kept nagging out of concern. He closed the door and sat back on the boss's chair. He shook his head and laughed. How did Liu Yan know that the reason why he was bored at home all day now was not He is really such a nerd, but at this stage he must proceed as planned. He also likes the passionate nightlife, yearning for the various parties that he could only see on TV before, and communicating with beautiful women, but not now.
However, Liu Yan's suggestion reminded him that it is indeed a good idea to raise a few dogs. In his previous life, he liked dogs very much, but the conditions did not allow it, so he only stayed in the idea. As for cats, his girlfriend got one. He also likes the greedy Persian cat.
Well, that's it.
He couldn't hold back his impulse. After saving the document, he opened Google and started searching for pet stores in Hollywood. As for adoption, John didn't have that idea for the time being, because the animal adoption place probably didn't have the breed he needed.
Cats and dog puppies are what he needs, and given his current conditions, the pets he wants to raise should also be purebreds with excellent bloodlines.
Economic strength determines the quality of life, and there is no need to continue living the life of the ordinary people.
As a newly minted rich man, he must adapt to a new lifestyle.
Maybe everyone can spend money, but some people spend it like nobles, and some people spend it like nouveau riche, but it doesn't matter. John doesn't care what others think of him, as long as he is happy, he believes that low-key is king. Don't pretend to be cool, because if you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning.
