Game Development Giant

The party to welcome the mainland delegation is scheduled for two days later. The reason why it is so tight is because the opening of the Olympic Games is just three days later. After the opening, the mainland delegation will not allow athletes to participate in such activities.

Jester also agreed to Qin Shuyao and go with her to decorate the venue one day in advance.

And he also learned about Qin Shuyao's identity from his grandfather, and then Jester was indeed a little surprised, although he had expected it. After all, in this era, the only people who can study abroad are the powerful ones, except academic tyrants.

Although he did not feel the slightest arrogance of mainland dignitaries from Qin Shuyao.

But just after thinking about it, Jester also understood that now is not the era when the mainland can be called G2 with the United States thirty years later. The current mainland is still an era that has just been reformed and has not yet shared the dividends of industrial construction. In order to In order to introduce foreign capital, the generals would not hesitate to go to Japan to visit Konosuke Matsushita in person and ask this Japanese business god for advice on how to develop the company.

You must know that the commander-in-chief is the leader of a great country, a generation of tycoons who deposed the prince and became independent. However, no matter how high his achievements are, Matsushita Konosuke is just an entrepreneur.

Today's mainland dignitaries are not worth mentioning in the entire world. When they come to the United States, what they see is the prosperity and advancement of the United States. In contrast, they see the backwardness and poverty of the mainland. It is impossible for them to feel any pride at all. heart.

Even Jester still remembers a photo he saw before his rebirth.

In that photo, a certain admiral visited the United States in the early 1980s. On the deck of an aircraft carrier, he looked at the U.S. military helicopters with his feet up and his eyes longing. This admiral was later called the father of China's aircraft carrier by many netizens. After the mainland got its first aircraft carrier, the Military Commission designated its hull number as 016. It is not known whether this was intentional or unintentional. This so-called admiral The birth year of the admiral, the father of China's aircraft carrier, was 1916.

In addition, Qin Shuyao does not have the character of a young lady, and Jester has not been with her for long, so it is normal for Jester not to feel her.

Jester had to stay in a hotel every time he came to Los Angeles, and Jester had had enough of it. He also had the idea of ​​buying a house in Los Angeles. After all, he would definitely come here often in the future.

The house doesn't need to be too big, just an apartment. It's best to be in the city, where it's convenient to do things. As for the price, Jester doesn't really care about it. After all, an apartment is expensive even in Los Angeles. It's a small place, and as long as it's not a pain in the ass to go to Beverly Hills, the price won't be too outrageous.

However, now is not the time to consider this.

Before Jester came, he received a call from Qin Shuyao, asking him to pick her up at school, because Grandpa Jester's hotel was still some distance away from the University of Southern California.

Driving that cool Ferrari, Jester arrived at the place Qin Shuyao was talking about, which was a cafe near the University of Southern California. In front of this cafe, Qin Shuyao was with several other international students. Stand there.

As for why you don't wait in front of the school gate, well, because USC is an open university and has no gate.

Except for Qin Shuyao, several other people saw a sports car that they had never heard of and such a beautiful sports car parked in front of them. They all had surprised looks on their faces.

At the same time, there is also a kind of vigilance that Jester is familiar with. It is a natural vigilance for creatures that are not of the same kind.

After seeing these five people, Jester became distressed.

Only then did he realize that Qin Shuyao had asked him to pick up not her alone, but her and her four classmates, who were all preparing for the welcome party with her. The problem was that his supercar had no It's impossible to seat six people.

"Why didn't you explain clearly on the phone?" Jester said angrily to Qin Shuyao.

Qin Shuyao also realized that she seemed to have forgotten to explain things clearly before, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and apologized softly: "I forgot."

Faced with such an answer, Jester could only sigh helplessly.

After checking again that there was no sign of a taxi nearby, I could only get off the car and go to the coffee shop. I asked the waiter at the coffee shop to borrow a phone and called Carly.

But the person who answered the phone was a female voice that Jester was not familiar with. It seemed to be Carly's secretary. She told Jester that the company's CEO, Ms. Carly, had left for Portland, Oregon, to attend there yesterday. The flagship store of a popular game publishing company that has just been prepared and ready to open is not in the company.

Then Jester remembered that he did receive a call from Carly a few days ago, asking if he had time recently and whether he could go with her to attend the ribbon-cutting opening ceremony of a new flagship store. After all, it was the first When one of the flagship stores opened in Los Angeles, Jester was unable to attend because of something else. He had to attend the second one.

However, at that time, Jester was busy with the progress of "City of Battle" and preparing to establish the "Game" magazine. He really couldn't spare the time, so he declined.

Then, Jester, who was not yet giving up, asked again: "Is Adam Edgar here?"

This time he got a positive reply from the female voice on the phone. Adam Edgar was accompanying a customer to experience the game at the Los Angeles flagship store. At this time, Jester remembered that he didn't even know that his publishing company was in Los Angeles. After asking the female voice on the phone for the number of the flagship store and getting a reply, Jester dialed the number of his flagship store in Los Angeles.

After briefly explaining his identity, the clerk in the flagship store notified Adam Edgar. Jester only waited for less than a minute before Adam Edgar's voice came from the other end of the phone.

His voice was a little excited, and he said to Jester on the phone: "Even if you don't call, I will call you after a while. I just met a big customer from the UK. Originally, they wanted to Cooperate with us to publish our games in Europe, but the European agency rights for four of our games have been given to Sega, so I wanted to politely refuse, but their supervisor said that this does not hinder it, and she wanted to talk to us Collaboration, not those four games.”

"She?" Jester also heard that when Adam Edgar used the third person, he used the female she, so he asked out loud with some curiosity.

Originally, Adam Edgar wanted to explain in detail, but Jester didn't have time to listen to his long introduction now. He just learned that the person who wanted to cooperate with them this time was a young woman with a British title, who seemed quite interested. There is a history.

But Jester has no time to care about this now.

Jester explained the situation to Adam Edgar on the phone and asked him to send a car to pick up a few people near USC to take them to a hotel.

After hearing Adam Edgar's reply of agreement, Jester hung up the phone, thanked the waiter who lent him the phone again, ordered six cups of Blue Mountain coffee, and gave the waiter a small tip to express his gratitude. .

The life of mainland students studying abroad in this era is actually very difficult. The little foreign exchange they have has to be used wisely, and they also need to work during holidays to supplement their daily needs. However, this is only a drop in the bucket. Coming from a rich and powerful family like Qin Shuyao, It can be seen that people are reluctant to spend money to buy a book they like.

In her last life, Jester had read scattered memories written by Chen Chong about her life when she was studying abroad in Los Angeles in the early 1980s, and she had some understanding of their difficult situation.

Basically, these international students don’t have any spare money to drink coffee.

Except that Qin Shuyao and Jester are familiar with each other, this is the first time for both parties to meet. Especially these international students from mainland China, they are still a little reserved when facing Jester. To be precise, they are alienated or wary. .

In response, Jester could only smile and introduce himself first.

"Li Jie, his English name is Jester Li."

But there was no formal response from these four people, which made Qin Shuyao a little embarrassed. After all, she was the one who called Jester.

However, Jester didn't care much about this. He took the initiative to say hello because he saw the kindness of the Chinese people. It didn't matter whether they appreciated it or not.

These international students are obviously wary of Jester. After all, these people have all experienced the era of class struggle. It can be seen from the way Jester is dressed and the car he drives that the person in front of them is worse than themselves. The young man is a capitalist.

Capitalists are all evil and must be defeated. This is the education they have received since childhood.

Facing the coffee that Jester ordered for them, the four international students, two men and two women except Qin Shuyao, obviously didn't know how to deal with it.

On one side, he wanted to refuse with righteous words, but on the other side, he wanted to taste the taste of the Blue Mountain coffee that he had only heard about. Jester could clearly see the subtle struggle in their eyes. .

In particular, the performance of the youngest man was the most obvious. Jester was a little confused at first, why did this foreign student, who had never been masked before, look at him with the eyes that seemed to be looking at an enemy? His eyes were different from those of other students. There is a big difference between the three of them, and the other three are just a normal alert look.

Jester knew it when he saw the way he looked at Qin Shuyao.

It turns out that he regarded himself as a love rival.

However, Jester observed carefully for a while, and he found that Qin Shuyao didn't seem to have any special expression towards this international student whose name he didn't know. He was no different from the other three, and this international student except for the way he looked at Qin Shuyao From time to time, she showed an expression of admiration that she wanted to hide as much as possible, but she did not express any other specific expression.

It's just a crush. Jester made his own judgment on this.

Faced with the temptation of Blue Mountain Coffee, Qin Shuyao has nothing to do with it. She has a special status. Her grandfather is the founding father of the country and belongs to the privileged class in the mainland. Some things that are difficult to see in China are rare to her, but they are also rare. It’s not that I haven’t been exposed to it.

For example, the Japanese delegation gave away a lot of Blue Mountain Coffee when they came to China a few years ago. In fact, her grandfather was the recipient.

But when she saw that her four friends were not drinking, it was inconvenient for her to drink.

She could only look at Jester in embarrassment, and then at her friend in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

She even complained about Jester's behavior of showing off his wealth in front of her friends.

In fact, Jester had no such idea at all. He just wanted to have a cup of coffee while waiting for the car sent by Adam Edgar, but with so many people here, he couldn't drink it alone?

In the end, maybe he still couldn't withstand the inner desire, or maybe to save himself from this slightly embarrassing meeting, the oldest international student, about thirty years old, took the initiative to pick up a coffee cup full of coffee and face it. Jester smiled.

At the same time, a thank you came out of his mouth.

Jester also smiled and nodded.

The other three people saw someone taking the first drink, so their expressions were no longer so difficult to decide. Almost at the same time, the three of them also picked up the coffee.
