America 1982

On Palm Avenue at Stanford University, Tommy looked at Dennis and Pam in front of him in stunned silence.

The reason why they were stunned was not that they had undergone plastic surgery or had exaggerated breasts, but that these two idiots suddenly appeared in Stanford, California, dressed as if they were on vacation:

"What are you doing here? I mean, could you make a phone call before you come here instead of telling me after standing on Stanford soil?"

Dennis took off his sunglasses and exaggerated wide-brimmed straw hat, and looked at the buildings of Stanford University in the distance: "Brother, you said, invite me to California* Mexican girl~ Have you forgotten?"

"Yeah, I came to California to see this Mexican girl." Pam added beside him.

Tommy opened his mouth, looked at the two of them, and then at the sacred university campus behind him: "But shouldn't you two be studying at the Rhode Island Community College now? There aren't any holidays now..."

"Is there radiation in the sunshine in California that has damaged your brain? Why would you ask such a stupid question to us? Tommy?" After hearing Tommy's question, Dennis put his straw hat back on his head, feeling a little worried. He looked at Tommy, as if he was really shocked how his best friend could ask such a retarded question.

Pam also asked doubtfully: "Does it require looking at the public holiday schedule for skipping classes in college?"

Tommy also came to his senses: "No, of course not, it's just that I haven't skipped class with you two for so long that I forgot how to skip class. In other words, you two traveled across the entire United States just for a Mexican girl? "

"No, I won't. I can't be sorry to Carly. I'm just here to see and don't plan to participate." Pam shook her head and said.

Tommy looked at Pam with a suspicious look on his face: "So, Carly has screwed you? This whole year, except for the most basic activities to maintain life, you have been lying on her body?"

"This joke is not funny, Tommy. There is nothing wrong with my clubs." Pam said seriously to Tommy, but then she lowered her head in depression:

"It's just that the club now has some special marks. If I...I do some sports in California, Carly can find it when I get back."

Tommy nodded in understanding: "Brother, your and Carly's couple game sounds a bit brain-burning."

"So where's the Mexican girl?" Dennis said to Tommy.

Tommy thought for a while, walked to the public phone booth nearby, motioned to Dennis to give him a few coins, threw them in and dialed the number of his villa. Soon, the servant on the other side answered the call:

"Hello, this is Mr. Tommy Hawke's mansion. How can I help you?"

"Dorothy, it's me, Tommy." Tommy said, holding the phone receiver.

"Mr. Hawke, what's the matter?"

"Uh...has Jason left?"

"No, Mr. White is holding a telephone conference call in the front yard. Do you need me to let him listen to the call?"

"Very good, let his driver drive to the school now to pick up the two friends who came to visit me, and then tell Jason the names Dennis and Pam. He knows who they are. Although he has never met them, he I have heard their names and asked him to entertain them for me temporarily. I will rush back after class."

"Okay, Mr. Hawke."

"Thank you, Dorothy."

Tommy hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and then dialed Stephen Bean's pager number and left a message: "Rich man, Dennis and Pam are two fools who came to Stanford, and they have to wait in line for you, so change after class." Remember to contact me after *Underwear, I will help you arrange pick-up, that’s it.”

After it was done, Tommy looked at Dennis and Pam: "A flashy red Lincoln Continental Mark VI will be here to pick you up and take you to my residence. After school, I will rush there with the rich man."

"You mean you still have to go to class? Your best brother has traveled thousands of miles to visit you, and you are not going to take him to meet California girls, but leave them to go to class?" Dennis said dissatisfied:

"Did college teach you to be a fool?"

Tommy took out the cigarette and handed it to the two of them: "There is a guy named Jason White where I live. He has the phone numbers of agents of all the high-end entertainment companies in California. I am different. I only know some cheap prostitutes who have changed careers."

"Very good, you can go." After hearing Tommy's words, Dennis took the cigarette and said simply: "If you are busy with studies, it doesn't matter if you don't show up. Let the buddy named Jason White accompany us for a walk. can."

"See you in the evening." Tommy took a few steps and came back, looking at Dennis thoughtfully. Dennis felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Tommy: "What's wrong? Aren't you going to class?"

Tommy took out the lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth: "How long are you and Pam going to stay in California?"

"It mainly depends on how many girls there are in California Entertainment and how much money you have." Dennis said frankly.

Tommy's face suddenly brightened, and he personally helped Dennis light the cigarette: "Very good, if you play for a while longer, the bill will be charged to me. By the way, what courses are you studying in community college?"

"Refrigeration mechanical engineering," Pam said.

Dennis thought for a while before remembering what course he was studying: "I am...environmental resource management and pollution prevention."

"So, Pam will be an air-conditioning maintenance worker after graduation, and you will go to a town in Rhode Island to find a job as a garbage station manager, right?" Tommy heard the two people's answers and deliberately exaggerated his ridicule.

"For Pam, that's true, but I won't. Don't jump to conclusions easily. Tommy, you know me. No one can control my life, Dennis Herbs." Dennis looked at Tommy dissatisfied. , even took two steps towards Tommy and said, but then nodded in frustration:

"Because I fucking doubt it's just a job like a garbage station manager. My grades may not be able to compete with other students."

Tommy patted the other party's shoulder and comforted him: "Very good, play for a while and have fun. It doesn't matter whether you get the associate degree certificate or not. Treat it as a long vacation for yourself. I may need your help during this time." Just a favor.

"No problem, is that the car?" Dennis asked Tommy, pointing to a red Lincoln car that appeared in the distance.

Tommy took a look and said, "Yes, I'm here to pick you up."

"Let's go to the entertainment first, you can take your time in class, and I'll date a few more girls."

After Dennis said a few words, he and Pam happily got into the luxury car. Jason's driver closed the door for them, said hello to Tommy, and then drove them away.

"In order to prevent them from becoming air-conditioning repairmen and garbage station managers, I also want them to help me. I always hate to see my friends in difficult situations." Tommy looked at the luxury car going away, shook his head and said, "Yes Yes, and Tony, why didn’t I think of this before? Dennis and Pam always give me unexpected ideas every time they appear.”

Thinking of this, he walked to the phone booth again and dialed the number: "Tony, this is Tommy. I suddenly remembered something. Are you interested in driving a vehicle slightly larger than a Corvette C4 or Warwick fishing boat?"

"What do you want to say, Tommy? Do you want me to be a truck driver and help you deliver goods or something? Just tell me. If you need me, just say it. I won't say no to you, brother. "On the other side of the phone, Tony was a little surprised to suddenly receive a call from Tommy.

Tommy laughed: "I mean, maybe you want to drive a cruiser or a frigate?"

"I won't fucking join the army. Didn't you see the 1982 Soviet exercise broadcast on TV? It is said that the president and everyone in the army were so scared that they wet their pants. During the Soviet exercise, American adult diapers were Sales have reached a record high," Tony said with a smile.

Tommy looked at the palm trees in the distance and said softly: "No, of course I am not advising you to attend. I am saying that I may have a way to send you to the U.S. Naval Academy. My business needs its own people. I also suddenly thought of you when these two bastards Dennis and Pam came to see me and I wanted to sell them.”

"Are you kidding? Tommy, think about how much hard work you had to put in to go to college. We all see it. Going to college is not an easy task. I..." Tony had even started on the other side of the phone. I wonder if Tommy is high and talking nonsense.

He had watched Tommy go through the process of getting into college, reviewing his homework like crazy, trying to figure out how to make money, and completing various procedures. But now he said to himself, should he go to college? It's as easy as letting yourself go to a bar to drink.

Tommy breathed out: "Tony, you have to know that when a person is rich, letting his relatives go to college is a trivial matter, because I can easily get your recommendation letter for exemption. Rich people go to college. Going to college with a poor person are two different concepts. Tony, let's put it this way. If I were still the poor Tommy, I couldn't do anything about you getting A's. But now that I'm rich, you can get D's in everything. Send you to the university I want you to study at.”

"Why don't you first tell me what business you want me to help you with? Going to the Naval Academy to sell your software or books?" Tony was confused. He didn't even understand why his brother suddenly thought of letting him go to college.

His current car repair job is good, he can earn about two hundred and twenty yuan a week, and he can see many modified cars. As long as he continues to improve his repair experience through various modified cars, Tony even thinks that he can do it before he is thirty. Open your own car repair shop or car modification shop.

Tommy could also understand his brother's confusion, so he said: "No, why don't you take Ashley to California for a while, and I'll talk to you slowly. If you're not interested, just treat it as a vacation. But don’t take Bethea with you, let her concentrate on her studies.”

"You just need to tell me if you need me now." Tony hesitated and asked.

Tommy also paused for two seconds before responding firmly: "I need your help, brother."

"Very good, brother, wait for me, I'm going to look at the tickets now, that's it." Tony said on the phone and hung up the phone.

"This is the benefit of having an Italian brother." Tommy put down the phone, looked at the bright sunshine, and quoted a verse from the Bible skillfully:

"If you don't bring Ji with you, you won't be able to meet me."

Being familiar with the Bible was once a preparation for him when he tried to sneak into college as a believer in God. At that time, he even considered sneaking into the theology department of a Catholic university. But now it seems that although the Bible is of little help to computer science majors, at least it is Let him understand that the way of spreading teachings and the way of doing business can be perfectly combined.

…

In the outdoor swimming pool of Tommy's villa, six or seven beautiful girls were holding a small party with Jason, Dennis and Pam.

Jason’s work at EFF is not too busy. Currently, he is mainly cooperating with SSD alumnus Benjamin Rosen and listening to Mr. Rosen’s words.

It’s not that Jason wants to be lazy, it’s mainly because Tommy once shamelessly told him that he didn’t have to do anything, just learn from Benjamin Rosen, ask him all questions, listen to his opinions, and see how he handles them. , and then thoroughly absorb it. We can’t let the old guy use 10 million shares to occupy Actor’s company like picking up money without doing anything. We must make him busy and learn all his business methods and thinking. Don’t let Mr. Rosen Not as a human, but as a cow, letting Jason squeeze his milk like crazy.

Of course, Jason also has to admit that he can indeed learn more knowledge by following Benjamin than in school. For example, business schools should not teach him what to do if he tries to invest in a small company and the other party is unwilling. , how to divide the founders of that small company.

Help the founder of the small company who is opposed to investment but has the right to speak to create some scandals or troubles, and then release all kinds of false news. In short, he will be unable to show his face. People inside the company will be panicked. In the end, the pressure will be too great and if it wavers, it will split. , either the management of the company will be handed over to the founder who supports the investment, or someone will lead the technical team and get the money to start a new company.

All in all, it was an eye-opener for Jason and he benefited a lot.

"He said he wanted you to stay here for a while?" Jason took a sip of juice and heard Dennis, who was enjoying a massage from a pretty girl next to him, talking about Tommy's generous invitation to the two of them to stay in California for a while. , spit out the juice, turned to look at Dennis:

"How can this be?"

"Of course, Jason, there is no doubt about the friendship between Tommy and the two of us." Dennis replied, lying on the recliner: "Tommy is not a stingy person."

Jason looked at Dennis and Pam who had bought all the markers on the market and concentrated on mixing the colors of the markers:

"He may not be stingy in Warwick, but in California, I guess you don't know enough about him. With all due respect, when he invited you to play for a while, did he ask you to write something like a blank sheet of paper? Sign your name, or say, I hope you can do me a favor or something like that?"

"I'm not impressed," Dennis said.

"Tommy said he hoped we could do him a small favor." Pam said without raising her head as she observed the color of the marker on the paper.

Jason nodded suddenly: "Friends, I'm happy to meet you. As Tommy's former roommate, my most sincere advice to you two is...get dressed now, run to the airport, and buy the fastest flight." go home."

"Are you going to dominate these hot girls? Come on, Jason." Dennis raised his head and looked at Jason: "We won't be jealous because you slept with Tommy. You can continue to sleep with him."

Jason recalled his experience, pondered his emotions for a while, and then said with some regret:

"There is a tragic story. There was once a scumbag who used beautiful women to seduce his good friend. When his good friend was in a state of excitement because of the beautiful woman, the bastard asked him, Hey, good brother, can you promise me something? ?His good friend said, OK, brother, of course there is no problem, we are brothers."

"What's so tragic about this story?" Dennis frowned: "That good brother can't get up in front of a beautiful woman?"

Pam gave a different opinion: "No, no, no, I think he should be locked up. When a beautiful woman teases him, the feeling of being locked up will be very uncomfortable."

"Brother, what the hell happened when you and Carly were in love... Do the girls from St. Vincent play so wildly?" Dennis heard Pam's words, looked at Pam and asked in shock.

Jason saw the two people looking as if nothing had happened and said excitedly:

"It's a pleasure to get along with a beautiful woman. What's tragic is that you promised the other person one thing. Do you understand? Do you understand? This is the point. When you two listen to the story, won't you summarize the key points of the story yourself? I mean, don't talk to her easily. The devil made a deal, and that bastard used a beautiful woman to seduce his poor friend and made a completely unequal and unfair deal."

"If we got perfect marks in reading and writing, you wouldn't be Tommy's roommate, Jason," Dennis said.

Jason exhaled: "That bastard used me in the same way, understand? That's why I suggest you get out of here, now! If you don't want to become a small movie actor."

"Actor?" Dennis and Pam both sat up after hearing Jason's words and looked at him with twinkling eyes: "You mean, we can become the kind of small movie actors we see on TV?"

Pam even flipped her hair, pointed to her high-profile glasses and asked Jason: "Is it okay to be highly myopic?"

Jason was a little confused when he saw the two people's reactions. He looked at them for a while and then said: "Guys, this is not a Hollywood movie, understand? It's the fucking kind of stripping off your clothes..."

"What I'm asking about is this kind of small movie, what do you think? I'm asking you now, that means Tommy can let us have sex with all kinds of beautiful women and still make money, right?" Dennis looked back with the same confusion. Jason, I don’t understand why the other party told me that it’s not a Hollywood movie. What’s so good about a Hollywood movie where you don’t take off your clothes?

Jason nodded speechlessly: "Strictly speaking... that's true."

"How tragic is this? Isn't it time to open the champagne to celebrate? Miss, give me a glass of champagne, my dad will soon be able to see me on TV! The first great figure in the Herbs family to appear on TV! All over the world Everyone needs to feel the visual stimulation brought by brother’s ***!”

When Jason saw Dennis excitedly urging the woman next to him to pour him champagne to celebrate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, and he asked Pam:

"Are you sure you're from Warwick, America, not Warwick, France? I've only heard before that French people don't care about their face for women."

"I don't care which country Warwick belongs to, I only care about whether someone with high myopia can be an actor?" Pam stared at Jason and asked.

This rhetorical question left Jason completely speechless: "Now I understand that Tommy's bastard's shamelessness is not innate, but comes from regional characteristics."

At this time, there was a huge roar outside. As the door opened, a fiery red Ferrari sports car drove in from the outside. The door opened. Stephen Penn walked out of the driver's seat and saw Dennis and Pam. , Stephen lifted up his sleeves excitedly and showed the CSLS tattoo on his wrist to the two of them:

"Look who is here! It turns out to be Wild Boar and Blind Man from the CS gang! Long time no see! Finally thought of coming to California to visit poor Stephen?"

Dennis and Pam also greeted Stephen and gave him a hug: "Long time no see, rich man!"

"Where's Tommy?" After the hug, Dennis asked when he saw that there was no one in the passenger seat: "Didn't he say he would come back with you?"

"He's going to interview the driver. Don't worry. We can have a lot of fun without him. Send these girls away. My driver is driving over in a commercial vehicle to take us to the airport and then fly to Los Angeles. I'm chartering Los Angeles There are about one hundred and twenty girls in a nightclub for you, which is enough for Tommy to stay here and beat his chest, regretting it." Stephen said.

Hearing Stephen's words, Jason immediately threw away his glass and stood up: "Everyone, I have a question, can your CS gangster help me apply to join, or haven't you considered kicking scum like Tommy out of the organization and then inviting Better men to join? One hundred and twenty girls, Shit, it will take ten days for each of you to deal with four of them in one night to sleep with them all..."

He looked at the beautiful girls he called, and then looked at Stephen: "I am willing to pay for the air tickets myself and provide you with this kind of heavy physical help for free."

…

Smoke Scar and Rivet Bar, the name of this bar sounds like a punk style, in fact the decoration style inside is the same, filled with large steel plates, exaggerated screws, rivets, various thicknesses and lengths The pipes, rusty valves, and the smoke from the drinkers' cigarettes make people feel like they are back in the steam era the moment they walk in.

This is a bikini bar where many programmers in Silicon Valley come to relax.

Yes, the barmaids here will wear various bikinis with sparse fabrics and shuttle in the hall. Of course, if you want her to turn a blind eye to your dirty hands, you need to buy enough drinks, otherwise you will wait to be greeted by her. The whole family was thrown out by the security guards again by their collars.

At this time, Tommy fiddled with the large beer glass in his hand, moved it from the left to the right, and from the right to the left. He looked at the two people sitting opposite him, and then turned to look at Sophia. :

"My dear Sophia, are you sure you understand my needs? One earns 15 yuan an hour, and the other earns 50 yuan an hour. How should I understand? You understood half of it, and then completed half of it? This big man like a brown bear, 50 yuan an hour is obviously genuine and has no shortcomings except that the price is too high, but..."

"Tommy, the older one only earns 50 yuan an hour, and the big guy earns 15 yuan an hour." Sophia reminded Tommy.

Opposite the two people at this moment, there are two white men, one is young, the other has gone through many years of life, one has thick hair, the other is bald, one is tall and strong, about 1.9 meters, and the other looks a little shorter than Sophia, who is 1.7 meters. .

"You, fifteen dollars per hour?" Tommy heard Sophia's words and couldn't help but ask the young strong man with his arms folded: "Fifteen dollars? I only need to pay you one hundred and twenty dollars for eight hours." ?”

"Yes, sir."

"What do you call it?"

"George Wright, sir."

"Very good, congratulations, Mr. Wright, you got this job." Tommy reached out and shook hands with the other person, and then looked at the old guy next to him, who had a bald head but a wild stubble on his chin:

"And you, old gentleman, get paid more for one hour than he does for three?"

"Brinker Security does price it this way, it's true." The old man said with a smile and nodded.

Brinker Security Company was recommended to Tommy by Pinkerton Firm. It is an old security company founded in 1859. Over more than a hundred years of development, it has developed from personnel security at the beginning to banks, mining companies, etc. Supplier of security and transportation services to companies, retailers, governments, mints, jewelers and the military.

Many people may have the same doubt as Tommy, that is, what does the military need security for? This question has troubled American taxpayers for decades without an answer.

This company is responsible for the transportation services of many military bases in the United States. Newspapers once ridiculed this as a naked power-for-money transaction. The U.S. military, known as the most powerful armed force in the world, actually needs to hire a specialized security company to help them transport donuts. And chocolate?

In the United States, you don’t know how many transit warehouses Brink’s Company owns and how much employer’s banknotes or gold are stored in them. You just need to know that when you see a signboard with the company name Brink’s on the road, you’d better consider stopping. Don't move on, otherwise they will not only call the police, but also make you the protagonist of a game called "Guess how many shots you need to fire to scare that idiot."

Brinker and Pinkerton are good friends who have worked together for hundreds of years. The two sides once teamed up to frame and shoot countless coal miners in Pennsylvania for the mining tycoons.

The basic method of cooperation is probably that Brinker Security Company deliberately makes security breaches, and then releases the news to lure the miners whose wages have been deducted by the coal mining company to steal or rob. Once they do it, Pinkerton will immediately appear as a messenger of justice and kill them first. Catch them again, kill those leaders and backbones who must die, and leave a few miners who are frightened and completely unaware to hand over to the court. Such a smooth operation allows the mining tycoons not only to not pay the salaries of these disobedients, but even We can let the participating miners compensate themselves for the losses they have caused in an honest and fair manner.

Why is there a loss? Because in such cases, people are often arrested, but the property is never found. The Pinkerton Office, which has great power, cannot recover the tycoon's robbed property. There is no other way but to blame the losses on the workers. However, Don't worry, the workers' houses, carriages, and even wives, daughters, and sons will all be properly arranged. Brink's company will usually provide security. After all, the court will award those to the mining tycoon to compensate for the losses.

Brinker Security and Pinkerton Detective are the best hawk-dog combination in the eyes of the American government and capitalists.

"What do you call him, sir?" Tommy looked at the old guy opposite who looked older than his father and asked.

The other party was stuffing tobacco into the pipe. At this time, he lit the pipe with a match and looked at Tommy: "Page, Lott-Page."

The young one is called George and the old one is called Peppa Pig? Tommy thought the names of these two guys were familiar, but then he realized that they were the names of the protagonists of a cartoon.

"Listen, Mr. Page, I don't believe in the nonsense that the older you get, the more valuable you are." Tommy looked at the old guy in front of him who was older than his father:

"Because I am familiar with the high-end girl industry. If you are over twenty-eight years old, you can't expect to get a high price of four hundred yuan for one time."

"In fact... Mr. Hawke..." The young strong man who had just got the job because of the low fee heard that Tommy was not satisfied with the price of Lott Page, so he spoke next to him and waited until he saw Tommy looking at the price. To himself, he continued seriously:

"Mr. Page is worth the price. He has served as a soldier, been on the battlefield, and has all kinds of experience..."

"So I want to hire him to help me assassinate the leader of the Soviet Union, Konstantin Chernenko?" Tommy looked at this little piggy brother in confusion, spread his hands and asked.

Lott Page patted his companion on the shoulder: "Forget it, George, this gentleman just needs a driver. You stay and chat with him, and I'll go outside to get some fresh air."

"Yes, sir, you summed it up very correctly!" Tommy nodded with satisfaction: "I just need a driver and bodyguard who looks scary to scare black people, because I may have a lot of time to deal with black people in the future. ,I mean……"

George was obviously unwilling to give up and continued to recommend the old guy: "Mr. Page is a suitable candidate. He had previously killed seven black people and was sentenced to five years of probation and 600 hours of community service. All black people in Long Beach, Los Angeles, will be shocked when they meet him. Kneel down subconsciously and raise your hands.”

Tommy looked at the old guy who stood up with a pipe in his mouth and was about to take off his coat on the back of the chair and leave: "I think I probably know who you are, the Long Beach police officer who made the judges fight over sentencing in 1978." long?"

"Yes, there is no benefit in being too famous. You will always be turned away when looking for a job. I know that everyone is more tolerant of black people now and don't want to be involved with a notorious person like me." The old guy looked at Tang Mi: "I understand, sir."

Tommy looked at the other person playfully: "Everyone needs a chance to change their ways. I am willing to give people this chance. So, if you go back to 1979, would you still commit such a thing?"

"I disappoint you. The answer is that I will still kill those bastards." Lott Page put his coat in his hands and turned around and walked outside.

"Very good, you're hired, but there's a small problem." Tommy said a word and made Lott Page stand on the spot. Then Tommy turned to look at Sophia beside him:

"I will pay for George's fees myself, but Mr. Page's fees will be paid by Holly or Mark. If they don't object, they can start work."

Eight thousand words, sorry, the update is too late, I am very sorry, I will try my best to resume updating during the day tomorrow.
