Rebirth of America, this is my time

What is the concept of making one million in half a year?

If we put this kind of thing in Ethan Jones's previous life, it cannot be said to be ordinary, it can only be said to be inconspicuous. After all, in that era, one could not survive with one hundred thousand assets, and one million yuan would be destitute. Only those with tens of millions of assets can only go on a blind date, only those with hundreds of millions of assets are worthy of being human beings.

There is no other way, who would let a guy with a net worth of over 100 million grab a lot of people on Tieba and Weibo?

But in this day and age...

One million dollars, that’s pretty awesome!

You know, the world's first Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, which was put into service this year, cost only a few small targets, which is far less exaggerated than the billions of later generations. Now, the Lakers, located in the City of Angels next door, are worth tens of millions. Ten years ago, in September 1965, when Jack Cook bought the team, he only spent 500. Thousands of dollars.

Therefore, when Ethan Jones came out of Atari, his mouth never closed again!

Although from a long-term perspective, "Snake Game" will definitely not bring him more income than MOS 6502 and Apple, but this is not important, right? Because the biggest advantage of video games is that they can collect a large amount of cash in a short period of time!

When real money appears, there are so many things that Ethan Jones can do!

For example...

He went home first to share the good news with Linda, and then rushed to San Jose to buy a car.

In fact, when he got the first dividend, Ethan Jones wanted to change his car because he was uncomfortable driving the second-hand Chevrolet. However, he could not confirm subsequent income at that time, and Thomas’ Passionate socializing forced him to leave home, so he put the matter of changing cars on hold for the time being. Later, the emergence of MOS 6502 and Steve Jobs' request for help kept Ethan Jones busy, and he immediately forgot about the optional things like changing cars.

But now...

The second batch of dividends is about to come out, so how can he be so reserved!

No matter what, you have to buy it!

After wandering around San Jose, Ethan Jones stopped in front of a car dealership.

Parked in their showroom was a two-seater big red sports car with a streamlined body, a lower front end and a higher rear end.

Its headlight is a raised circle. Looking from the front of the car, you can even feel that what is parked in front of you is not a car, but a frog staring at you cutely.

This look intrigued Ethan, and after he got out of the car and inquired about the sales, the brand reported by the other party made Ethan stunned for a moment.

"Dino? What brand is this?" Ethan was a little confused.

The salesman answered naturally: "Sir, Dino is a sub-brand of Italian manufacturer Ferrari. It was a brand founded by founder Enzo in memory of his late eldest son Dino. The car you are seeing now is called Dino 246 GTS. , is a convertible sports car that uses a 2.4-liter V6 engine with a maximum power of 240 horses, an independent suspension system, and a vacuum booster..."

‘So it’s a Ferrari? ’

‘I’ve never heard of this. ’

In his previous life, Ethan had no money to play with cars, and his knowledge of cars only limited to the Ferrari Lafa, Porsche 918 and McLaren P1 that often appeared in Shenhao novels, so he had no idea what the configuration of the sales report meant. What.

However, one thing he did know was that the handsome car in front of him was very environmentally friendly.

Because it is a V6 engine! Not a V8 engine!

It does not meet the standards of American large V8 and environmental protection without special codes!

"How much does this car cost?" Ethan asked after taking a fancy to it.

"Sir, the price of this naked car is 14,950 dollars."

"I want it, how do I pay?"

"Sir, do you have a Bank Americard?"

"No."

"Then we can accompany you to the bank and transfer the money directly."

The Bank Americard that sales people talk about is actually the future credit card brand VISA.

Credit cards have appeared a long time ago. In 1950, Diners Club launched the first credit card in the United States. It was a small paper card. Although it could be used for credit, it could only be spent in restaurants and required full payment every month. repayment amount.

By 1958, American Express introduced the first plastic credit card, as well as a service that could make credit payments at multiple merchants and regions, and allowed cardholders to pay in installments. At this point, the infamous spin credit appeared.

By 1966, Bank of America extended its credit card services to the whole United States, and Bank Americard became the first credit card that could be used throughout the United States. Ten years later, that is, next year, in 1976, Bank Americard will be renamed VISA.

Since then, VISA, the world's leading card payment institution, has officially entered the stage of history.

Since Ethan had learned this financial history in school before, Ethan did not show any surprise when the salesperson said that credit card payment was accepted, but he was a little confused about one thing, "Don't you accept checks?"

This question made the salesman stunned for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Sir, Frank Abagnale must be responsible for this matter. I heard that he was released from prison on parole last year? It turns out that we collect checks, but Until this gentleman finds a reasonable, legitimate job with a certain financial level, it will be really difficult for us to collect the check."

"Please forgive me."

"Okay, I understand." Ethan laughed.

Because he thought of a movie, "Cat and Mouse" directed by Steven Spielberg and starring DiCaprio and Tom Hanks. In the movie, the prototype of the character played by DiCaprio is Frank Abagnale.

Since he did not have a credit card, Ethan went to the bank to complete the transfer according to the car purchase steps mentioned by the other party. When the accompanying salesperson received the receipt from the bank, the brand new Dino 246 GTS became Ethan's possession.

After getting the new car, what Ethan wants to do most is of course go out and show off~

Jumping to San Francisco, he fired the gas in front of Frank's store. When the other person rushed out in surprise and wanted to find out, Ethan immediately put the car in gear and drove away with a smile.

Eh! I just won’t show it to you!

Sneaking to the door of Jobs's house, he continued to use fuel in neutral. When Jobs looked envious and wanted to touch him, Ethan put the car in gear again and ran away happily.

Eh! You can't touch it!

Then, he went to Thomas's orchard, bombed from a neutral position in front of the opponent, and then...

He was dragged out of the cab by Thomas by his collar.

Watching the other party sit in.

Stroking the brand new steering wheel, Thomas' face was filled with envy, "Oh! Fxxk! How much did you buy this car for?"

"The tax plus tax is almost 17,000."

"Sxxt! This car costs 17,000?" Thomas' eyes widened, "Why don't they rob it?"

"Because this is Dino!" Ethan patted the car door and said, "It's the Ferrari brand!"

Ethan originally thought that if he bought such an expensive car, he would be criticized by Thomas, but unexpectedly, after hearing the name Ferrari, this guy immediately put the ignition in gear and stepped on the gas, and ran away in one go~

Looking at the figure that suddenly left, Ethan was stunned and shouted: "WTF?!!! Thomas, what are you doing???"

Before he finished speaking, Thomas' excited voice could be heard in the air——

“Lend me this car to drive!!! Let me go for a ride!!! I’ll show off to an old friend by the way!!!”

‘…’

Ethan never expected that the car he just bought would be robbed like this?

Seeing that Thomas really had no intention of looking back, he could only climb into the Ford pickup truck that had been abandoned by the other party and prepare to go home.

Just when he was about to turn the key to ignite, he suddenly discovered another problem——

"Fuck! This guy didn't leave his keys in the car!"

"Bang!"

After hammering the steering wheel hard, Ethan reluctantly got into the lounge of the orchard and called home.

"Hello~Linda? Yes, yes, it's me. I was left in the orchard by Thomas. See if there is any way to pick me up..."

"What, you ask me why I didn't come back by myself? Oh! My car was robbed by him!"

"Yes! A new car! A convertible! He insisted on letting me lend it to him, saying it was for a ride!"

"Hello? Hi! Linda? Oh Dxxm!"

The phone hung up...

And just when Ethan was sulking, the sound of "babababa" appeared.

When I looked up, outside the window, that sexy red sports car was back again.

Looking at Ethan with a confused look on his face, Thomas in the car shouted: "Why don't you come over?"

"You really thought I was going to steal your car!"

"I just had fun, ran to the intersection and came back!"

“This car is great, I’ll give it back to you~”
