American Entertainment 1982

Tommy is skeptical about whether his father-in-law will really help Warner pimp himself as Sean said, and persuade himself to let Warner take advantage of holding shares in his production company. As far as I know, although both of them know each other's little dirty things in life, they still regard each other as trustworthy and inseparable family members.

Just when Tommy was full of warm fantasies about his father-in-law, he received a call from the other party, asking him to go to New York to attend a reception organized by him and introduce him to an old friend in the film industry for many years.

Compared with the passionate and unrestrained high-class parties in California, New York's upper-class society is much more conservative, always wearing a resplendent and polite coat, Tommy has never liked living in New York because of this, think about it, his father-in-law introduced him A friend wants to meet his son-in-law, and he wants to hold a serious dinner party, and choose a place where even prostitutes have to wear a famous brand to get in.

In California, there is no need for these hypocritical etiquettes. Look at Jason, when he introduced a Korean girl to Tommy for the first time, on the sunny beach where everyone gathered, everyone relied on a blanket to complete the frank meeting.

In the members-only Morgan Private Club in New York, Julian Farrell and Tommy hugged, and then introduced him to the middle-aged man beside him: "Herbert Siegel, Chairman and CEO of Clark Industries .”

Tommy turned his gaze to the man. He was tall and had short brown hair. Compared with Julian in a suit and leather shoes, he was dressed more casually. A black silk shirt seemed to be affordable for ordinary workers, but in fact it was High-end custom-made overalls, a silver necklace around the neck, and a cigar in his mouth.

Whether it's the title or the outfit, this middle-aged man, who is about the same age as his father-in-law, doesn't look like a film industry tycoon, but more like a practitioner in a traditional industry.

"Otilia's fiancé, or boyfriend, this bastard hasn't proposed to my precious daughter yet." Julian patted his son-in-law on the back and introduced Tommy to him.

The man named Herbert took off the cigar from his mouth: "So, that little angel Otilia's heart was taken away by this little bastard from SSD? As a member of the Order of the Phoenix, you can actually tolerate SSD I knew it, Julian, remember what I said when you pursued your wife in college, it was definitely a conspiracy by SSD, and your wife was an undercover agent for SSD to break into the Order of the Phoenix, otherwise …Your face, which is uglier than a burnt pizza, has no chance of attracting their most beautiful girl, and now the truth has come, SSD has completely penetrated into the families of Order of the Phoenix alumni."

"I will pass this sentence on to my brother-in-law who is 22 years younger than you. Herbert, when you married the younger sister of a student member of SSD four years ago, I sincerely sent my blessings." Julian said with a smile.

Herbert reached out his hand and shook Tommy: "Hello, boy, your father-in-law's introduction is not accurate enough. I am indeed the chairman of Clark Industries, but I have another identity, the vice chairman of the board of directors of Warner Corporation, and the largest of Warner Corporation. Shareholders of, uh, CNN Group, I also own both titles."

Tommy had heard of the name of Clark Industries from his father-in-law before. This is a very diversified listed company with impressive revenue but not a big name. Its business scope covers everything from car interiors to shipbuilding, from wine brewing Then to medical supplies, as well as oil, gas, insulation materials and even television business and software development, in short, any industry that can make money, you can see this company.

This company holds a number of innovative technology patents for shipbuilding, which also allows Julian's Sea Line Ship Industry to cooperate with the other party in patent licensing.

"Hello, Mr. Siegel, Tommy, Tommy Hawk, a small character who is learning how to do business after his father-in-law." Tommy shook hands with the other party, and said politely and modestly.

The three walked into the restaurant that had already been prepared. The waiter helped the three of them open the dining chairs. Herbert sat down and said, "In my opinion, Julian is definitely not as good as you. If you insist on following him Learn how to do business by yourself, the advice I can give you is, don’t waste time, just donate two-thirds of your assets, and then you will achieve the same outstanding business achievements as your father-in-law.”

Tommy glanced at his father-in-law who was tipping the waiters and sending them away. Herbert's words obviously meant that his father-in-law had told him about his assets, which meant that Herbert West The relationship between Geer and Julian can't be summed up in a simple sentence of friends. My father-in-law is not an honest man like my father who wants to brag to all the neighbors about how rich his son is.

"Mr. Siegel doesn't seem to be as close to you as you and I said." After Tommy sat still, he straightened his napkin and asked his father-in-law: "I can tell that he is humiliating you, as long as you say Say, my father-in-law, my bodyguard, Mr. Page, is right outside the door."

Julian let out a proud sigh with a warm expression, and looked at Herbert: "My dear boy Tommy, you moved me."

"So, you will let your bodyguards come in and beat me up hard to vent your anger on your father-in-law?" Herbert threw two cigars in front of him to Tommy and Julian, and asked with a smile.

"Yes."

"No."

Julian said yes and Tommy said no.

Julian looked at Tommy suspiciously: "I thought our son-in-law Weng already had a good understanding and a perfect understanding."

"What I mean is, Mr. Page has at least four or five electric shock devices on him. He can give each of you one, and then you two favored members of the Order of the Phoenix can have a fair duel here. My white The outsiders of the Pao Club are responsible for applauding and serving as referees, I will not play favoritism, and I will not blow the whistle, after all, whichever member of the Order of the Phoenix falls is worth celebrating for the White Robe Club." Tommy took the other party and threw it over. Looking at his father-in-law Julian, he said with a sincere and expectant face.

After hearing Tommy's words, Herbert leaned hard on the back of the chair and stared at Julian: "This is the good son-in-law you picked, huh? Dude, which eye did you use to help your daughter choose a boyfriend? He is It's really heartwarming, but it's normal, a rotten person like you is only worthy of a bastard like Tommy as a son-in-law."

"Julian is a good man." Hearing Herbert say that his father-in-law is a bad person, although he knew that their relationship must be close enough, as a future son-in-law, Tommy still had to correct him thoughtfully on this occasion.

Herbert picked up the table wine and took a sip: "Good guy? No, he is a bad guy, don't be deceived by the gentlemanly demeanor this bastard is showing at the moment, Julian, tell your dear son-in-law Tommy, are you a Rotten person? What did you do to me?"

"It's nothing, it's just some pranks common among adolescent boys." Julian said calmly.

Then he tried to introduce the signature food of this club to his son-in-law Tommy, trying to divert the topic.

"A common prank? You mean that it's just a common prank that made me have the nickname Shetland Dog for four years in college?" Herbert obviously didn't want the topic to end here. He took a few puffs of his cigar viciously, Turning to Tommy:

"In my freshman semester, I made a beautiful girlfriend. She also raised a lovely Shetland. I was the first among our freshmen to find a girlfriend in college. Then your father-in-law was jealous of me. He fucked up with a few rookies of the same period and made my girlfriend leave me, and gave me a nickname that will always remain on the roster of Phoenix alumni, Shetland Dog."

"I'm listening, sir." Tommy said solemnly with a very serious expression on his face, "I'm jealous of you, this is a very serious accusation."

Julian looked at Tommy who was waiting to hear the gossip speechlessly: "When did you have such a strong curiosity?"

"After my father-in-law was also curious about my private life." Tommy whispered.

Herbert bit his cigar, leaned on the chair and recalled, with resentment in his tone that could not be dispelled even after more than twenty years had passed:

"The tragedy happened 30 minutes before my first date night with my girlfriend. My beautiful girlfriend had already showered, changed into the underwear that was carefully prepared for me, and was waiting for me to go to the romantic dream together in the dormitory. Me, proudly walking on the way to the meeting, and carrying two boxes of condoms with me, damn it, when I was less than a hundred meters away from my girlfriend's dormitory, these ugly bastards who couldn't get girls kidnapped me."

"Wow." Tommy broke his skills in an instant, and the expression on his face changed from solemn and serious to eager for knowledge.

Herbert took a sip from his wine glass, relieved the urge to jump up and kill Julian, and continued: "Guess where those hairs come from, my girlfriend's cute Shetland dog, they bastards tied it up before. That poor dog with a bikini shaved on him, get it? Imagine that, a Shetland in a bikini."

Tommy picked up the wine glass with both hands, lowered the rim of the glass extremely low, and signaled to his father-in-law: "I admire you, father-in-law, compared to you, the way I tricked Brother SSD in college is like a child's life!" Everyone is harmless."

My father-in-law is really not a good bird. I was a little sloppy before. I shaved off the dog's fur raised by my brother and girlfriend, and prepared a fur condom for my brother. Whoever came up with this method, could it be a normal person?

If he Tommy came up with this method at Stanford and used it on Jason, Tommy guarantees that within thirty years, Stanford SSD will spread the word that he is the best adult designer at Stanford and Jason is the best designer at Stanford. A campus legend of a male adult model.

"Because of them, I broke two records of the Order of the Phoenix at Cornell University, the fastest to get a girlfriend and the fastest to break up with a girlfriend. I will never forget my lovely girlfriend. See me below The expression of the Shetland fur condom." Herbert ended the memory with an unbearable expression:

"By the way, your father-in-law's nickname in Cornell's Order of the Phoenix is ​​the fucking 'Pest'!"

"It was you who framed me first and sent a photo of a man's cue to the girl I like in my name. I just punished you a little bit." Julian retorted disdainfully.

Herbert immediately corrected: "After I found out that I sent it wrong, I immediately wrote an apology letter to that girl in your name, okay, a very sincere apology!"

"Of course I haven't forgotten, your fucking apology letter sincerely wrote to the biology girl: Dear Sally, I am very, very sorry, I made a mistake, that club is not mine, this is. Then I attached a mugshot of me with the letter! On the photo, it was written that Julian Farrell is a throated fish." Tommy's father-in-law said in a displeased tone.

Tommy's thirst for knowledge made him raise his hand: "Two professors of biology, please forgive my lack of understanding of biology, so what does throat sex mean?"

Julian glanced at the curious Tommy unhappily, and did not speak. Herbert, on the contrary, seemed to be waiting for Tommy to ask this question, and then said cheerfully: "Because the reproductive organs of animals like throat sex fish are long On the head! Kid! Hahahahaha~~"

"The atmosphere has come to this moment, so do you need me to call Mr. Page to come in and provide you with weapons?" Tommy looked at the two middle-aged men who were attacking each other and asked with concern.

At the same time, he also understands why his father-in-law always likes to come to this kind of secret club to gather with friends. After all, on the beach in California where there are many tourists, two billionaire American billionaires can't expose each other's scandals.

After telling the joke back then, it was tantamount to telling his son-in-law about the relationship between the other party and himself. Julian helped Tommy prepare the vegetables himself, and said in his mouth: "The Siegel family and the Farrell family have a deep relationship since my father. I mean, he and I tortured each other, made each other laugh, and still stood up for each other when they needed it, so you can respect Herbert as an alter ego."

"So, it's the kind of respect that I'm going to hire a team of Pinkerton detectives to keep an eye on Mr. Siegel and threaten him if he is found fooling around? If Mr. Siegel is not obedient, I will disclose the situation to His brother-in-law who is 22 years younger than him and born in SSD?" Tommy gave Julian a knowing look and joked with a smile.

Hearing Tommy's words, Herbert showed a surprised expression: "Wow, you and your son-in-law are so fucking in love with each other. Congratulations, pest, you have found a son-in-law who suits you."

"Herbert has never participated in the daily management of Warner, he is more focused on the business of Clark Industries, but he is a long-term friend of Warner Chairman Steve Ross and Director Turner, and he invested in holding shares of Warner and CNN because When Murdoch landed in the United States before, he wanted to hostilely acquire Warner. He stepped forward to help his friends tide over the difficulties. Turner’s CNN has been a bit difficult recently. The news channel has suffered serious losses, and it only relies on movies, reality shows, sports, documentaries and other channels to maintain , but now, in addition to premium movie channels and premium sports channels, Fox is preparing to snatch the market share of premium reality shows.” Julian said to Tommy:

"The most important thing is that Herbert helped me. If your free TV network does not compete with CNN's premium reality TV channel, can you consider helping it?"

Tommy slowly exhaled a puff of smoke: "My father-in-law has Jewish ancestry, he has always taught me, don't ask how much you pay, always figure out what you can gain, so, what can my father-in-law and I gain?"

"When did I teach you this sentence? I didn't." Julian thought for a while in doubt and said.

"No, you have." Tommy looked at Herbert: "I'm not a greedy person, but this kind of thing doesn't talk about the harvest, it seems unreal, and both of us will feel uneasy."

"I feel that the Jewish blood in your body is much deeper than that of your father-in-law." Herbert stared at Tommy for a long time, and said with a smile: "So, what is the price?"

"trust."

Herbert glanced at Julian, and found that Julian was nodding to his son-in-law in satisfaction. He looked at Tommy who was waiting for an answer, and after thinking for a moment, he said:

"You still learned something from your father-in-law, and I will pass on your words to them."

"The righteous," said Tommy suddenly to Herbert.

Herbert looked at Tommy puzzled: "What?"

"My nickname in the Stanford White Robe Club is Tommy the Righteous." Tommy smiled at Herbert and said:

"People don't want to trust the vermin, but they want to trust the righteous."
