Rebirth of America, this is my time

After the parents of the original owner of the body passed away one after another, Ethan Jones, who became an orphan, was adopted by his father's sister and his aunt. It was precisely with the careful care of his aunt and uncle that Ethan Jones did not grow crooked in the big dye vat of the beautiful country.

The couple never paid attention to the fact that their nephew messed up Milohua Company's business. In their view, the pressure Mi Luohua put on them was just intimidation in the workplace! It's the incompetent leader who, after ruining everything, tries to keep his position by letting his subordinates take the blame! When your direct leaders don’t care about their employees, then this bullshit company doesn’t care about them!

Therefore, when they learned that their nephew Ethan was fired, they were happier than anyone else!

Uncle Thomas found his own white wine, took out half of the cork, and then pulled it out with his teeth. At noon, he filled the glasses in front of Ethan, his wife, and himself.

Aunt Linda refused to lag behind and brought the already prepared steak, pasta, mashed potatoes and cream of mushroom soup to the table.

Then I improvised a pot and made some fried chicken, French fries and onion rings.

Then he mixed a large pot of vegetable salad for everyone with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and other ingredients.

This is really rich. Thank you, Aunt Linda.

Although for Chinese food, the dishes in front of you are a bit monotonous, but for Western food, this is already top-notch.

Oh~ honey, you don't have to be so polite. Aunt Linda smiled and waved her hand.

Yes, we are all a family, there is no need to be so polite, and we are really happy for you now. Uncle Thomas raised his wine glass and looked at his wife, Are we toasting to Ethan's liberation?

Cheers, cheers! Aunt Linda responded happily.

Ethan also smiled and raised his glass, Thank you.

Gallo Winery is the largest family-owned winery in America and one of the largest wine producers in the world.

The Riesling that Uncle Thomas brought out was a semi-dry wine. When you take your mouth, the refreshing taste mixed with lily, peach, apricot and lemon makes you feel that you are not drinking wine, but drinking a drink.

If paired with spicy and greasy food...

Wow!

The life of eating fried chicken and drinking wine is so exciting!

Ethan immediately smiled and narrowed his eyes.

This situation also made Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas very happy. After drinking one bottle and opening another, it was only after their cheeks turned a little red that they became concerned about Ethan's future.

Ethan, we have actually been mentally prepared for your layoff, so when it happens, you should have certain ideas about your future, right?

Aunt Linda put her elbows on the table and asked with a smile: Don't you still want to study? To be honest, I think you are really wasting your talent if you don't study. If I remember correctly, when you took the academic talent test before, you got Scored more than 1,200 points? This score can get you into a good university.

The academic aptitude test that Aunt Linda is talking about is actually the SAT, America’s college entrance exam.

The original owner of the body had taken the exam before and scored 1213 out of a total of 1600.

Although it doesn't seem like much, in the year he took the exam, the highest SAT score on the admission list of the University of California was 1280.

To be honest, applying for college is not just about SAT scores, but also letters of recommendation, extracurricular honors and a series of other things that prove your excellence. But with a score of 1213, it is still easy to get into college.

It's a pity that people don't want to.

And now Ethan...

Time traveler goes to school?

What a joke!

It’s not like he has no memory!

I am sorry, Aunt Linda, for letting you down. I may not change my original decision for the time being. Ethan apologized.

If you don't want to go to school, don't go!

Before Aunt Linda could express her regret, Uncle Thomas spoke first.

What's so good about studying? It's just that the capitalists use education as an excuse to plunder our wealth! After paying the high tuition fees, you have to learn everything by yourself. Your social status cannot be improved instantly. Learning is inherently It’s a painful thing, and spending money to study is double torture! So, Ethan, I support you. If you don’t want to study, then go see the orchard with me. You know, our orchard can earn 40,000 to 50,000 US dollars a year. Yeah! Much more than those white-collar workers get!

Yes, Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas are actually farmers by profession.

They own nearly a hundred acres of land growing navel oranges.

There are almost 300 to 500 tons of output every year, all of which are sold to Asia by underwriting companies. The sales price per ton fluctuates between 290 and 310 US dollars. After all costs are factored out, you can earn 40,000 to 50,000 a year. , that is actually relatively simple.

but……

Although the natural skill of a flower grower is farming, Ethan is not ready to farm now.

Sorry, Uncle Thomas, when I feel confused about the future, I will definitely embrace the land.

The polite refusal made Uncle Thomas purse his lips.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Alright, I respect your choice.

Your temper is very similar to your mother in heaven. I think if she and your father were here at this moment, they would also support your decision. I mean it.

I understand. Ethan smiled and nodded.

Then can you tell us your future plans? The husband compromised, and Aunt Linda would not hesitate. She said curiously: Of course, if this involves your personal privacy, you don't have to say anything. .”

Oh... This question made Ethan think for a few seconds, and then he said: I want to share it with you, but I only have a little idea at the moment and haven't made it into a complete plan, so...

Then we'll talk when you think about it. Uncle Thomas was very decisive. You can come to us anytime, anywhere, if you need anything, whether it's to talk or to ask for money, huh?

Yeah~ Ethan thanked him seriously, I know, We are a family.

Snapped!

Uncle Thomas snapped his fingers happily.

As the conversation ended, the three of them happily enjoyed their lunch.

After eating and drinking, Ethan took the initiative to clean up the mess and let Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas, who had been busy all morning, have a good rest.

After cleaning the dining room and kitchen, Ethan stepped on the creaky floor and returned to the room on the second floor.

Filling the bathtub with water, he soaked in it to wash away his fatigue.

In fact, Ethan was just able to answer Uncle Thomas' question.

Because in the past two months, while he was adapting to the surrounding environment, he was also looking for money-making opportunities in this era.

In his previous life, he was a migrant worker working in the financial industry.

Therefore, it is his instinct to run the business and buy stocks.

During his search, he also found two stocks that were suitable to buy now.

One is McDonald's, which went public in 1970, and the other is Wal-Mart, which went public in 1972.

The prices of these two stocks are now quite low. According to Ethan's calculations, if you buy each stock for $100,000 and hold it until 2023, then these two stocks can bring you more than a thousand times the profit.

To be honest, this discovery made Ethan very excited.

After all, no one can deny the fact of getting rich suddenly.

But when he actually took action, he discovered two hidden problems.

The first problem is objective factors. The trading model of buying and selling stocks in this era is very unsafe.

Just like the stock trading plots in Hollywood movies, stock trading in this era is conducted offline.

The buyer needs to inform the stock brokerage company where he has opened an account of the stocks he is optimistic about, and inform the other party of his psychological price and quantity. Then the stock brokerage company will send the customer's order requirements to the traders in the exchange, and they will communicate with those Other traders willing to sell their shares conduct on-the-spot negotiations to reach agency deals.

Because of the lack of information, this trading model is very prone to securities fraud and price fraud.

Such problems were discovered when the old employer of junk bond king Michael Milken went bankrupt in the 1990s.

The second problem is subjective. If he does this, he will be old when he becomes a billionaire.

If you want to become rich after time travel, you have to grow old.

That kind of price was something he couldn't accept.

You know, this is America in the 1970s!

In an era when computers were not popular, the Internet was not yet born, and mobile Internet was nowhere to be found...

There is gold everywhere!

In the words of Rebus, right now is the trend of the times!

A pig stood up——

That! All! able! fly!

In this era, as a time traveler, he wants to accumulate wealth through time?

Then wouldn’t this be an embarrassment to thousands of compatriots!

As for what to say, he is a financial person who doesn’t understand technology?

Well...

Under the soaking of warm water, the somewhat tired Ethan quickly fell into sleep.

When he woke up again, the cold feeling made him shiver.

He quickly stood up and wiped it clean. The skin of his soaked fingers was like a field bank, curved and ugly.

But the face...

Well, great! As handsome as Tom Cruise!

After getting dressed, I returned to the bedroom. The clock hanging on the wall was illuminated red by the setting sun.

It's five o'clock? I've been sleeping in the bathtub for three hours?

Ethan sighed while blowing his head.

And just as he was wondering what he had thought about before falling asleep, suddenly, the roar of a car penetrated his ears from far to near.

After it disappeared, a charming voice suddenly appeared.

Dad~? Linda~? I am back~
