American Fortune Life
Chapter 674: Goodbye Jobs
In the Instagram company, Andy and a group of programmers came together to explore his source code. The extension of the entire software was actually not intended to merge the photo wall and Weibo mode in the original idea of Andy because it was not enough. Focus.
As an application software, it is simple, single and more easy for foreigners to get started and accept, but in order to have a social platform, without buying Twitter, you can only make a little effort to get one yourself, OK Those recruited at new companies are also familiar with rewriting a Twitter-like program.
It was not until 4 pm that Andy was reminded by her assistant Christina that she needed to prepare for the evening dinner.
When I walked to the wall facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, I stretched my waist, moved my sedentary body, and looked at the few cars on the wide road. After all, although the office building leased by the new company is a new building, However, it is relatively remote, but it is on the same street as Watts' Free City Technology Company.
If it weren't for the lowest point in real estate prices, Andy had been buying up hoarding properties and land. He knew how the Bay Area real estate prices had increased after the 2009 subprime mortgage crisis.
A large number of entrepreneurs and new wealthy people have gathered here. The land and housing in the Bay Area are simply in short supply. The price of living is extremely high, and the rent of houses is also high. In the later period, Silicon Valley is no longer suitable for newcomers to start a business here. .
Back at the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy didn't see Tory Black in the presidential suite, and could not help but frowned slightly, and took out her mobile phone to call her.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm applying makeup next door. It will take a while and I'm doing a haircut ..."
Rolling his eyes and hanging up the phone, Andy knew that there wasn't one or two hours, and he couldn't finish it. He went into the bedroom, took out a white bathrobe from the closet, and went into the bathroom.
In the luxurious square marble platform white porcelain surf bath, the water was tumbling, and there were splashes of water from time to time. Andy took off his clothes and immersed himself in the warm bath water. He reached for the remote control from the side and began to look for TV programs.
When he relaxed from the bathroom and walked out a little lazily, he finished his hairstyle and put on his makeup. Tori Black, a beautiful man, wore a vest-style waistband fluffy tuxedo with a dark red dress. Appeared in the living room with two unknown women beside her.
"Boss, this is hair stylist Jenny and her assistant. Let her help you trim your hair." Tori's bright red Chun Qingqi said.
"Well." Andy in the bathrobe nodded and walked to the chair that he had already set up to sit down. His hair didn't have to be too troublesome to clean up, but he just trimmed his hair slightly and then dried it. .
As night fell, Andy and Tory took the car to the reception venue. The venue was in a hotel, but when the door was approaching, the car stopped. It turned out that there were still a few cars in front of it, all of them were here for the party tonight.
Andy glanced sideways and was taking a deep breath, and Tory Black, who was a bit excited and flushed, couldn't help but chuckled, and looked down, watching the pair of bao's tops tied tightly and squeezed into the middle. Now, a ray of sky.
"I said, aren't you so crowded?"
"That's what it looks like. The U-neck in the front is very ugly if you don't squeeze out the gully. The back of the collar is considered backless. Don't you like it?" Pu assistant with long eyelashes, a pair of The worried look explained to the Devil.
Andy said indifferently: "It's okay, you are not uncomfortable, just like it yourself, don't worry about it for a while."
The car moved forward slowly, and saw that the hotel entrance was full of reporters on both sides. Opposite the hotel's main entrance was a large group of men and women holding various self-made signs. Many people raised their arms high and were shouting in a hurry, protesting across the road What, there were two police cars parked on the roadside, and seven or eight policemen with big belly and uniforms spread out not far apart.
Andy is not interested in knowing what these people oppose. Anyway, there are many idlers in the United States. The protest crowd is very easy to gather. Tonight this party is held by the Donkey Party supporter Steve Jobs. Donkey Party politicians return a lot, such as The Terminator Governor and the Mayor of San Francisco will all participate, after all, the presidential candidate O'Neal is the main guest tonight.
Andy has no interest in the Elephant Party Donkey Party dispute, and he has never stood out to support that party. It does not make sense to him. Well, after all, it is like the party ’s **** family. Generally, his heart is still biased. Some are party-like, but Okuini, the future president, will decide to support it.
Donate? U.S. law requires personal donations, and the total donation in each election must not exceed US $ 2,500, so this donation is truly a chicken rib project. Andy needs to meet with Okuniu and appreciate his charm before he can decide whether to support him further. The establishment of a PAC or direct donation to support a PAC is a political organization initiated by an enterprise, an individual, or an organization. For example, a company announces the establishment of a PAC, injects a sum of funds, and accepts donations.
pac can't work with candidates it supports, but the law allows it to advertise that it can praise candidates it supports or devalue candidates it doesn't like. Because advertising expenditure is the largest expenditure of each presidential election, companies can directly affect the election results through pac.
Through the window, Andy glanced at the raised protest sign. Well, it was against the current California Governor Schwarzenegger, because he rejected the same marriage law passed by the state ’s House of Representatives, and opposed the legal marriage with same sex. . Anyway, there are many signs of protest.
Andy can only say that this group of people is purely painful, and protesting with them really makes this group of politicians compromise.
The door opened, Andy got off the station on the red carpet, turned around and reached out to support Tory Black's little hand. When the two stood on the red carpet and were recognized by reporters, the whole room was white and bright. Shouts, all want Andy to take a few pictures in cooperation.
How could Andy ignore them, the slightly nervous little assistant holding his arms tightly, and walking towards the hotel door without any lingering intention.
In the splendid hall of the reception, Jobs and his wife Helen entertained a straight suit with a bow, a bow, a chic and talkative Austrian black cow and his wife with a very special appearance.
A person walked quickly to Steve Jobs and reported a few words beside him, making Steve's eyes slightly bright, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "Sorry, two, I want to lose company, there is an important guest Here I need to meet ... "
"Oh, I'm with you. I wanted to know him a long time ago, and I just want to thank him. The youngest billionaire, his fame in Washington is not small." Au black cow's eyes exude dazzling Said with a happy smile on his face.
"Oh? You and Andy Smith have also met?" Jobs looked at Oku Niu with a bit of surprise, walked side by side with him to the door, and chuckled.
"No, but his media have taken reporters to join my campaign press team, and the report is more relevant, there is no hostility, and as rumors say, there is no clear party bias, and there is great value for struggle." Niu smiled and nodded back to the guests who passed him a toast as he lowered his voice and said to the senior supporter of the donkey party.
"Oh, if you can really make him publicize his political inclination and stand up in support of the Donkey Party, it is really a great thing to do." With a smile on Jobs's face, he shook his head slightly and continued: " However, this event will basically not happen. Maybe he will support you in running for president, but he will never show his political stance. This young man is not an ordinary young man. Forget it, see you later. "
When Andy stepped into the banquet gate with his small assistant, it immediately caught the attention of many people. Now, no one in the United States does not know him.
"Huh?" Andy said quietly, but with a charming smile on his face, he greeted the group of four coming straight to himself.
"Hi Steve, thank you for your invitation." Andy reached out and shook Jobs, who was also smiling. "You need to pay attention to your body. Compared to the last time you met, you have lost a lot of weight."
Although the smile on the face with a thin face is still maintained, but a flash of light flashed in his eyes, Jobs shook his shoulders with a strange look and said, "My body has no problem, it is just a bit busy recently. You know, the price reduction compensates the old The user is a very troublesome thing. Not to mention these, come, let me introduce you ... "
