America 1982

"Jason, the Stanford Daily really helped you put out an escort advertisement. They praised you to the sky, saying that in order to subsidize the company, you were willing to sacrifice yourself to make money through unconventional part-time jobs, so did you get any fucking money? To the company?”

In his garage, Tommy watched the interview about Actor in the "Stanford Daily" and shouted to Jason who was lying on the table crazily doing homework:

"You have been working as a partner at Actor Company for so long, but you have not turned over the money you earned from your part-time job as a cowherd to the company. This is irresponsible. I will take you and this newspaper to court sooner or later. What are you doing? cheat."

Jason wrote his homework without raising his head and cursed: "Tommy, you'd better be lucky. If it weren't for you idiot who gave me 20,000 yuan, I guarantee you would be better than you now." The fate of the tyrant of the Italian motherland named Mussolini will be even worse!"

It wasn't until the homework was completed that he raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief, then moved his neck and asked: "Speaking of it, Tommy, should startup companies rush to distribute money as soon as they make some money? I mean, shouldn't it be like Like those companies, use the money you earn to invest? And it’s strange that you gave me the money, but you actually asked Mark to give it to me.”

"If the company just made money, we would share the sum. This kind of news would not be very friendly to us, so I asked Holly to set up a women's rights organization and donated money to Actor in the name of supporting women. She, this way Actor Company will continue to support charities such as women’s employment as soon as it makes money, instead of sharing the profits privately, right?”

"As for your money, Holly's organization asked Mark to contact the One-Day Film Company where he worked before, and made a payment on the pretext of buying movies that hurt women and destroying them or other pretexts. In short, the process was very complicated. You just need to know one thing. Your 20,000 yuan was not given to you by the Actor. Do you understand? You earned it in the name of part-time moviemaking. Man, you are now a member of the California Small Screen Actors Guild, so don’t Worry, you have already paid taxes on that money, use it as you wish." Tommy looked at the newspaper in his hand and said:

"Why did we start a business? To make money, have you made it now? Of course, so take out a sum first. Holly, Susan, and Mark have worked hard with us for so long. If the company tells them when it makes money, you won't even get a share. , these incomes will continue to be used for the development of the company. You have to continue to work for free for Actor. If you were the three of them, what would you do? Maybe you will find money to kill me! As long as 80,000 yuan, each of you will get For 20,000 yuan, you can smile all over your face, so it’s worth it to me.”

"Am I a fucking actor from the California Screen Actors Guild? Do actors who make movies like that have a fucking union?" After hearing Tommy's words, Jason stopped paying attention to other issues and looked at Tommy with wide eyes. His hand has already reached for the baseball bat placed on the corner of the table!

"You just said that for 20,000 yuan..." Tommy immediately jumped up from his seat and confronted Jason who was holding the bat across the desk and said.

Like a baseball player warming up, Jason swung the bat gently and glared at Tommy fiercely: "Twenty thousand dollars can only allow me to ignore you and the Stanford Daily, but it is not enough to allow me to ignore this matter. I... "

"How about another party, the kind of party you like?" Tommy kept making appeasing movements with his hands and raised the price in his mouth.

Jason was a little moved when he heard about the party. The SSD brothers were full of praise for Tommy, this bastard's ability to hold parties. However, this bastard hasn't held a party for a long time because he started his own business: "Are you sure? I like it. The kind? Not the kind of stupid computer science department where a bunch of nerds sit in front of the computer, play marbles and drink juice?"

"I'm sure, there are more than a dozen high-end girls, each with a big number, you will definitely like it." Tommy said with certainty: "I swear, I will make you understand what Elysium is."

"You know if I find out you lied to me, I can send you to see Mussolini at any time, right?" Jason pointed a baseball bat at Tommy and threatened with a gloomy expression.

Tommy saw Sophia getting out of his car, holding a stack of documents, and said to Jason: "Of course, so calm down, put down your weapons, and don't let Sophia misunderstand you. She is the only one in this company who doesn't know what you are doing." The one who breaks the news.”

"Good evening, Jason." Sophia held the document in both hands and had no time to close the car door. She directly raised her legs and kicked back the car door. At the same time, she smiled and greeted Jason who put down the bat and pretended to be calm. .

Jason adjusted his breathing and smiled at Sophia: "Good evening, Sophia."

"I remember when I lent you the car, I told you, Sophia, that car was a college gift from my dad and brother. I like it very much, so I try to avoid any damage to it. You Your performance just now clearly proves that you forgot my instructions." Tommy sat back in his seat and said dissatisfiedly to Sophia.

Sophia put a thick stack of information in front of Tommy's desk. At this time, Tommy Hawke, who was reading the Actor interview in the "Stanford Daily" with great interest, asked in an unhappy tone:

"Just like you forgot to pay me a salary, Tommy, are you sure that after Holly, Jason and the others excitedly told me that your software sold nearly 5,000 units in a week, they still insisted that the company had no money, continue You owe me my poor eighty yuan weekly salary?"

Tommy rolled his eyes and glanced at Sophia: "Yes, I'm sure the company has no money now, what are these?"

"The information you needed before on all law firms in the United States that have obtained precedents." Sophia patted the document with her hand and said.

Tommy was stunned for a moment before reacting: "My dear Miss Sophia, this is what I needed four days ago, and you are giving it to me now?"

"So, do you have any dissatisfaction? My classmate Tommy Hawke who owes me my salary? I work part-time and I still need to complete my studies." Sophia crossed her arms and stared at Tommy condescendingly. Behind her black-rimmed glasses, Those eyes flashed dangerously.

"No, of course not..." Tommy took out more than forty yuan in change from his pocket and handed it to Sophia with both hands: "There are about forty-three yuan here, all for you."

Sophia subconsciously took the banknotes and was a little surprised: "Wow, are you sure you're not kidding? You actually know how to pay? To be honest, I don't have any hope in this matter."

"8633667, you call this number to help order some Italian pizza, and ask the delivery man to deliver it to you. Buy some magazines and newspapers from the newsstand on the way. If you say it's Tommy from Garage No. 9, he will know what to buy, and then I'll trouble you. Give the money to him." Tommy looked at Sophia steadily and said seriously: "And I was just concentrating on reading these information."

Sophia turned her head, as if looking for a drink to throw on that bastard's face, and said, "Are you serious? Think of me as your secretary?"

"I guess you need this." Jason enthusiastically handed over his baseball bat to Sophia for the first time, and said in an excited tone: "The campus police just patrolled over and won't be back in about fifteen minutes, and I My eyes just feel uncomfortable and I can’t see anything.”

Sophia did not catch the bat, but gave Jason a sweet smile: "You are so considerate, Jason."

"Thank you, I feel the same way." Jason said happily after receiving the beauty's compliment.

The next second, Sophia turned around to face Tommy and said, "So it's true that Holly said when she chatted with me that you had been a cowherd? No wonder, it must be hard to coax those old women, right? What are you doing for this?" The company has given too much, and you should be the boss of this company."

Jason's expression suddenly became dull.

Sophia ignored the petrified Jason and looked at Tommy: "You want me to order food for you..."

"Davis Polk, are you familiar with him?" Tommy's face was full of sanctimony at this time. He looked at Sophia seriously and suddenly asked.

Sophia was immediately attracted by the name that came out of Tommy's mouth: "I studied law, how could I not be familiar with this law firm? All law students in the United States know this name and are eager to join them. How...how can you Do you know the name?"

"I didn't receive the information you were supposed to give me four days ago. I had to ask Eric from SSD to introduce me to the members of the white-shoe fraternity in the law school. I got information from some well-known firms from there, and then I found some information about this law firm." Tommy said to Sophia: "I want to ask them to help me take over this small business."

Davis Polk, as they call it, is an old law firm in the United States and has the title of a white shoe firm.

The so-called white shoes represent companies that have been established in this industry for a long time, have outstanding achievements, enjoy a high reputation and are professionally leading companies. They are usually used to describe law firms, Wall Street financial companies or accounting firms.

When Sophia heard Tommy talk about business, she frowned slightly and gave her own advice:

"Even if Actor sells 5,000 sets of software now and is not in a hurry to file taxes, he will only have a capital of 100,000 yuan. Even if you sell 10,000 sets and have 300,000 yuan, are you sure that law firm will only charge 300,000 yuan?" Just help you if they help U.S. Steel in one lawsuit? It’s enough for the firm to support more than 700 lawyers for three years without taking any work... Tommy, don’t consider those old white-shoe law firms. , those firm fees are two to three times that of ordinary law firms, why can’t you consider some law firms of Stanford alumni? They may also be able to give you some discounts.”

"My father said that any tool as long as it is cheap is junk." Tommy shook his head slightly and rejected Sophia's proposal.

Hearing Tommy compare Stanford Law School alumni to trash, Sophia emphasized: "Hey! What about your software? It's much cheaper than other software."

"So the OSS is a piece of shit, and the newspapers called me an asshole."

"Then you might as well go to Skadden, the number one law firm in the United States. Why choose Davis Polk, which is number 16?"

"Because I thought Davis Polk might be willing to take on my business?"

"Why?"

Tommy picked up the cigarette case and lit a cigarette. He picked up a piece of information on the table and handed it to Sophia:

“Davis Polk has a female lawyer named Delia Case. This is the second female partner born in the top 20 law firms in the United States in the past ten years. Erke was the first female partner in the 130 years since its establishment. After she became a partner, there was no representative work that could make her go further. With the gimmicks of women's equality and equal rights in technology, and the possibility of ruling precedents, I think she might There is a great chance to be impressed. Think about it, my dear Miss Sophia, you will soon be able to cooperate with idols like you female lawyers. This is all my efforts. I am helping you create close contact with your idols..."

"Stop your trick of deceiving the people of Florida. Brainwashing doesn't work on everyone. Tommy, remind you again, I am a law major." Sophia took the information and looked through it, interrupting at the same time. Tommy's lie.

Tommy held a cigarette: "So?"

"Am I really going to meet Delia Keys?" Sophia quickly read the information and asked Tommy.

Tommy smiled at Sophia in a personable manner and said: "Holly is helping me contact the Northern California office of Davis Polk. If the other party is interested, they will contact me sooner or later, and I just need Miss Sophia, that is You go with me."

Sophia dropped the information and silently walked to the landline: "What's the damn ordering phone number?"

"8633667, thank you." Tommy sat up straight and prepared to continue working. Before starting, he glanced at Jason, who was still in a petrified state:

"Brother, are you sure you still need a party? As far as I know, Holly not only told Sophia about this, but many women's organizations at Stanford already know your name, and they also gave you a nice title."

"What's the name?" Jason rolled his eyes and looked at Tommy.

“Stanford Caregiver for Middle-aged and Elderly Women.”
