American Entertainment 1982

"Charles rejected you, so you are not in a good mood?" Holly walked over from the side, handed Tommy Hawk a cup of coffee, and then sat down next to him. The two looked at the quiet outside through the garage door. night scene.

After finishing the homework assigned by the teacher in the garage, Jason lay down on the table and fell asleep, with half a potato chip in his mouth.

"Some, but not because of Charles, he struggled with it for two days, and finally said sorry to me, because he was going to do a master's degree in applied economics at Yale, then a Ph.D. in political science at Harvard, and finally joined peace studies in Washington. Center, it is a think tank organization, his dream is to teach the president how not to be a fool, and to prevent the United States from having a crisis like the Great Depression. His grandmother is said to have died in a robbery by the unemployed at that time, so there Opportunities allow him to become a national policy advisor for a certain president, and he is willing to work hard for it." Tommy said while holding a cup of coffee and looking at the night outside.

He tried to invite the chairman of his own SSD, Charles Salmon, who is about to graduate from senior year, to join his small company, but Charles regretfully rejected him because he had already planned his career.

"Charles is the kind of person who will undoubtedly become a big shot." After listening to Tommy's words, Holly nodded in agreement and said, "He will definitely succeed. After all, he knows that he has dated and slept with five or six BDP girls. His girlfriend can also accompany him to attend some social gatherings with a smile on his face, which shows his ability."

Charles majored in sociology at Stanford, the full name is Economics and Social Sciences. Most of the time, Charles is like all the brothers in SSD, as naive as a fool*, for example, this guy once admitted defeat after losing a game Running to face the statue of the founder of Stanford University, what's even more weird is not the punishment, but the competition. It was a excretion competition of SSD idiots. They took laxatives and waited for a long time before launching, because they were curious which sprayed more Far……

Who can imagine that the national policy advisor of a certain future US president would actually do such a thing when he was in college?

But the difference between him and the real idiot is that he can finish his studies and manage the fraternity in a very short time. He is full of energy and amazing self-control. I don’t drink at any party, just to ensure that SSD always has a person who is sober enough to deal with unexpected accidents, and always knows what to do and what not to do, and he can handle all the matters that he should be responsible for , no trouble seemed to bother him.

This kind of person will succeed no matter what he does, and he is also the member of the fraternity that Tommy Hawk wants to invite to join the company since he founded the company. This guy is definitely the best person to manage the company. As long as he is here, Tommy can easily Easily go to school to study, pick up girls, and have parties.

It’s just that even after he told Charles his plan, the company’s prospects, and the promised 30% of the shares, Charles finally decided to fight for the life of becoming the President’s National Policy Advisor, because that was his original intention of choosing sociology, and it was also his goal. dream.

"The main reason why I feel a little unhappy is Lotus." Tommy turned his face to look at Holly Keener beside him: "It's been a week, and the other party hasn't even called, that's because I deliberately A special edition tribute to Mickey Kapoor."

Holly stared into Tommy's deep eyes: "What does that mean?"

"It means that Lotus has a strong enough professional manager who can convince Mitch Kapoor to be curious about me. Otherwise, think about it, this software has not been released to the public yet. Mitch can make a phone call after seeing the software and talk to me. Let’s talk, let’s see if there is a chance to spend a small amount of money to buy me, a programmer who looks like his believer, and my software, but he didn’t. After a lawyer’s letter, it’s quiet. This is a purely commercial method. , indicating that they want to bite us into pieces and eat them into their stomachs." Tommy looked away, lowered his head and took a sip of coffee, and said unhappily:

"Why didn't I choose MicroPort? Of course, I leaked it to MicroPort. MicroPort will use this kind of operation. A lawyer's letter will give me a fatal blow when I sell the software. I thought Lotus was established for a year and a half. It’s a pity that they haven’t become capitalists so quickly, and there are still opportunities for me to take advantage of, otherwise a phone call or a meeting from the other party would be of great help to our Actors.”

In his imagination, although Lotus has become a blockbuster, its operation time is still short, and the company's senior management should still be filled with a large number of nerdy programmers. As long as they see their software, they will definitely arouse their curiosity, and the other party wants to come and talk to him , then I can take advantage of the situation to stir up a wave of public opinion, accusing Lotus of hypocrisy, talking about cooperation on the surface, and suing myself to close the business if they fail to agree.

"I guess they won't even think about partnerships and acquisitions if they buy "Happy Seekers," which came out this week, Tommy, and the magazines put our ad in Sweet Girls Anytime and Cupid Entertainment Wanting Women It’s really a good place between the two public relations advertisements, our advertisement is like psoriasis, just blocking the girl’s breasts.” Holly lowered her head and said in a weak voice:

"So the Lotus ignored you, and still follow the plan you said? Sell it to a prostitute for consultation?"

"Of course, the other party suppressed their curiosity, just waiting for us to officially release it and give us a thunderous blow? At that time, for actors, no matter whether they are humans or animals, they will not survive." Tommy Hawk drank his cup coffee in the middle, looking up at the night outside:

"If we don't sell, how can they do anything to us? If we don't do it, how can we let those companies know that our software is more efficient? How can we get investment if we don't do it? How can we incite employed women in California to greet those companies? The relatives of the founder of Lotus? Initiate boycotts in the name of various women? Then let the capitalists have an excuse to support women openly, abandon the inefficient Lotus, and force those under them to use our OSS. If they don’t know how to use it, You can also justifiably fire them and replace them with cheaper women."

At this moment, Tommy Hawk was almost shining in Holly's eyes. This guy who was the same age as him asked himself in such a calm tone, with a tired but confident smile on his face.

What a natural jerk from the countryside. No one has ever done this in the software industry. Nowadays, the founders of large and small software companies are all nerds and obsessed with technology, but this guy is different. The user experience is not worth mentioning in the eyes of orthodox programmers who like to use creativity to change the world, but now, he will use this plagiarized software, combined with his series of methods that Holly has never heard of, to snatch it. industry market.

For her, the amount of work she and Jason White did was much more than that of Tommy. Jason was busy compiling training guides, and she was busy using her female advantages to try to contact various Silicon Valley entrants. The media, if it wasn't for the cowherd and the banknotes waiting for her, if it wasn't for Tommy's plan that made her feel that the company had development potential, she would have been unable to hold on to leave. She is only nineteen years old this year, but she wants to be taught by this bastard Talking about how to dress mature and sexy, generous and hearty, chatting with those writers in a variety of ways, breaking some news about the computer industry to them to maintain relationships.

But as long as Tommy Hawke knows how to plan the company's development, that's enough. She is worried that Lotus' reaction will catch Tommy off guard, because Tommy is the founder of the company, and she and Jason are just The implementer of Tommy's will, now Tommy told him that no matter whether the other party responds or not, the original plan can be carried out, and he is confident, this feeling makes her feel at ease.

"At a certain moment just now, I was actually a little bit jealous of Renee." Holly stared at Tommy's side face and said with a smile: "Men are more attractive when they focus on their career."

Tommy ignored Holly's compliment: "The manager is already very smart, and he made the right decision, but I have read one more science fiction novel than him, which proposes a very interesting law of the dark forest."

"What kind of law is that?" Holly asked curiously after hearing that there was no fluctuation in Tommy's voice.

"That is a cruel law that once you know it, you never want to look up at the night sky. At this moment, the American software industry is like the universe in that story. There is only the minimum level of goodwill between each other, and any communication may expose your own. Weaknesses and being exploited by the other party, we Actors in the software industry are just like the tiny humans on Earth in that story." Tommy put down his coffee cup, took out a cigarette and lit it.

Holly shrugged: "It's small, so I have a problem, that is, there don't seem to be many women who participate in our training plus Stanford's promotion members, and it's far away in California, I mean Lotus is in Massachusetts, far away Your hometown is very close, how did it become a trend?"

Tommy stood up and walked towards the door: "I'm going back to the dormitory, and I still have homework to complete, see you tomorrow, by the way, help Jason cover a blanket or something, don't let him catch a cold, the company can't and won't allow it now There is a sick number."

"You haven't answered my question yet." Holly asked regretfully.

Guess what I spend a lot of time doing all kinds of stupid things to join SSD, just to go to parties every week and ask a girl to sleep? "Tommy Hawk, who was standing in the night, turned to look at Holly, who was shrouded in warm lights:

"Every university has a women's organization, and every university has SSD, which means that every university can have SSD training classrooms to help women who are eager to find employment. My proposal has been sent to the SSD national headquarters, otherwise you think the brain Why did Charles, who is calm and rational, have to struggle for two days before rejecting an invitation to start a small company with regret on his face."

The first update~~Thank you for your support~~The second update will be later, because I have to see the children, sorry.
