[Zhongyingmei] An alien cub fell from the sky
Chapter 106 Kent's Gift
"Joe, the mailbox is full again." Martha looked at the bulging mailbox, and wisely did not open it herself, but called Jonathan.
This mailbox is also something similar to a space grid. The difference is that it only has one grid, but it can hold almost unlimited items and letters, and it seems to have the function of a space channel.
At least Martha had never seen a postman at home, but the mailbox was often, especially in recent years, full.
If she or Clark went to open the mailbox, all the items and letters in it would pop out in one go, and only Jonathan could take everything.
In fact, Jonathan and Martha didn't have many out-of-town friends, and even if they did, letters weren't popular these days.
But the couple really invested in a lot of companies - because they know which companies and which industries can make money, so the breadth of Jonathan's investment is really great.Even if each investment is not too much compared to their total assets, the size is also a shareholder.
Many companies have the habit of sending things to shareholders, such as invitations to the annual general meeting of shareholders, invitations to the company's important press conferences, and some documents that shareholders need to review and save.Jonathan and Martha generally don't care about these things, and they really don't care as long as the dividend income doesn't suffer too much.
But the things sent over are far more than these useless things.
Movie companies will send over tickets and invitations for the premiere of the latest movies, food companies will send over samples that have not yet been launched, automobile companies or airlines will send over models of new vehicles and airplanes, technology companies will send over the latest mobile phones, computers, etc. Digital products... In short, companies that have products and the unit price and volume of the products are not too exaggerated will send things over.No company wants its shareholders to use similar products from other companies.
Especially in mobile phone companies, Jonathan has invested in no less than ten companies, and can receive dozens of mobile phones every year, which is not counted as computers.
These things all go through Grace Wayne's market channels and squeeze into the little mailboxes on the Kent farm.
"Let me see, well, why are there clothes, handbags, oh, and perfume..." Jonathan knew very well how the global luxury goods market would grow when the economy of a certain eastern country developed, so Of course, he has also invested in many luxury companies.
"It seems to be the autumn conference of major brands recently?" Martha is more interested in this than Jonathan, who is purely for making money.
"Is that so? Some designs seem to be good this year." Jonathan looked through them casually.Speaking of which, the fashion circle in the past two years has not had more and more weird and weird designs like ten years later, but it is more in line with the appreciation level of an ordinary person before Jonathan crossed.
Although Jonathan himself has full-level tailoring skills, it's one thing whether he can make something, but another thing if he can make something.Just like painting, musical instruments and other skills, Jonathan can do it, but it doesn't mean that his design and aesthetic level have also reached that level.
It can only be said that the workmanship is absolutely impeccable.
Generally speaking, there are far fewer styles of men's clothing than women's clothing, so Jonathan looks at it very quickly. Occasionally, there are some designs that I like very much, and I will take them for reference, and then make the same set by myself—mainly because the material is more comfortable. Some are also stronger and wear-resistant, making it easier for Jonathan to work.
Anyway, he wears his own knockoffs, and there is no problem of plagiarizing designs.
In contrast, Martha likes it more and prefers to wear it directly.However, in a place like a small town, you have to do farm work every day, and there are not many choices. Those who are really inconvenient to move around are not within the scope of Martha's consideration, so she prefers various accessories.Many clothes are worn once and never taken out again.
It can only be said that fortunately, Kent's storage boxes are all with space grids, and have almost unlimited storage space.In this way, Jonathan also specially planned an entire room for storage boxes.
Speaking of which, both Jonathan and Martha are the type who are not too stunning in appearance, but have a good figure.Moreover, the perennial diet and living environment make them well-maintained among their peers. The temperament and charm cultivated in such a carefree and comfortable environment are not comparable to many young models.Especially Jonathan, who also has a perfect body blessed by the system. Many luxury companies they invested in even wanted to invite them to do a series of topics, but they were all rejected.
Jonathan didn't mind the limelight, but he did mind not being home before two o'clock at night.
However, for the purpose of protection, Jonathan did not let Clark use these "unknown" things, let alone gave any photos of Clark.
"What's this?" Jonathan sorted out and found something strange at the end, "A bag and a belt? But isn't this the old model from last year? And it's a model that didn't sell very well. Why did they send it back again? Clearance ?”
Jonathan's memory is quite good, and he often makes these things, and his appreciation and taste will naturally improve, so he quickly recognizes that something is wrong with this thing.
"Wait, this seems to be sent by Clark." Martha looked through the express package carefully, "Look, there is also a postcard from Seaside City."
"But why did he send this back?" Jonathan was even more confused. "And why did that kid buy such a cheap model? I remember that this bag has been discounted for a year after it came out because of poor sales."
"Clark said he wanted to buy us some presents, so he chose these." Martha read the business card, "Our Clark is such a good boy."
"I bought such a low-priced discounted gift." Jonathan said so, and changed a belt in the dress-up interface.
That company also sent this item to him last year, and it was thrown aside after a glance, but this one was different, it was bought by his son.
"Could it be that Clark has no money?" Martha was a little worried, "Joe, how much money do you have left in the card you gave Clark?"
"I don't know." Jonathan said confidently. The card was applied for a long time ago. Clark gave it to him when he just started college, and he didn't even bind a phone number or SMS notification.Clark was supposed to bind his own mobile phone number, but Jonathan forgot.
"I'll just make a phone call and ask," Jonathan said, dialing the bank's customer service number. With the assets of the Kent family, as long as they have business dealings with banks, they basically have exclusive customer service.
After dialing the phone, Jonathan realized another thing. He opened multiple accounts in this bank to invest in different industries for different agents, and he didn't remember the card number of the card he gave Clark.
"Help me check the last transaction type and transaction amount of each account." Jonathan thought of a clever idea. The transaction type of his investment account must be different from the one given to Clark.
"Okay, the latest transaction amount of your account ending in XXXX is 36842000, and the category is corporate transfer..."
"...The latest transaction amount of account yyyy is 6920000 US dollars, and the category is..."
"...zzzz account..."
"...The latest transaction amount of XXYY account is 255.6 US dollars, the category is food and beverage consumption..."
"OK, that's it," Jonathan quickly hung up the phone and told Martha, "Clark just spent more than 200 US dollars on food and beverages a few days ago, and the balance is still..."
"That must be out of money!" Martha said firmly, "Oh, my poor little Clark, I can't eat or live outside..."
Every mother always feels that the child is eating dirt every day outside.
"I think it's about the same. Your son is not the Flash, I mean, he is not an idiot." Jonathan's head was full of black lines, "and Clark doesn't seem to have touched this card much. There is still left in the card..."
"I'll go to the bank in the town and transfer some money to Clark." Before Jonathan finished speaking, Martha took her wallet and rushed out to ride a horse.
Jonathan: ...
It's getting colder, the land is barren, and it's time to raise the rent again.
"Ah..." Clark opened his mouth, as if he wanted to sneeze a little, but finally held back.
Otherwise, they obviously eat in the metropolis, and I'm afraid it will become Gotham's Iceberg Restaurant in a blink of an eye.
Or worse, a hurricane restaurant?
Everyone expected Bruce Wayne to say no, with an excuse or something, or no excuse at all.
It's one thing to date Louise after all, but to dine with that Kent?That's another story.
Nobody thought Bruce Wayne would ever really need a guide, much less that he wouldn't be able to find someone to date.As long as he wanted to, with a phone call, the celebrities in the entire metropolis would be waiting downstairs in the Daily Planet building.
However, to everyone's surprise, he actually accepted that Wayne!He dragged Kent away before the end of get off work time, complained a few words that such a big man didn't have a driver's license, and then drove his Bugatti out of the Daily Planet building.
That's why Clark now looks nervous and restrained, sitting in the dining room at a loss.
If possible, Clark would also like to refuse, but... he doesn't have the performance that Louise can achieve, and the courage to tough Perry.Perry issued a death order, telling him to take care of the new boss, or wait to go to the reference room to check the door!
The simple town boy encountered the unspoken rules of the workplace for the first time, and was once again shocked by the darkness of this society.
And... Clark really doesn't know how he's going to "serve" the new boss...
Fortunately, Bruce is actually not difficult to get along with, as long as he gets used to that kind of willful temper, it's just that Clark himself is a little nervous in such an environment.
Not because of anything else, he was mainly worried about breaking things. After all, the high-end restaurant Bruce chose was very delicate from tableware to decoration - another synonym for delicate is fragile.
However, not only Clark, but Bruce himself did not expect such a situation.
Bruce bought the Daily Planet... indeed because of Clark, or rather, because of Superman.
The Daily Planet is almost Superman's designated media, and Clark even has... a certain relationship with Superman.
At least for now, Bruce still hasn't lifted his suspicions about Superman when it comes to the theft of kryptonite.Because no matter how you analyze it, you must be a superpower to do this, and you must also have invisibility, super speed, or teleportation and other types of abilities.
More importantly, during this period of time, Superman has not appeared in the metropolis for several days.It was normal, but it couldn't stop Bruce from thinking too much.
Bruce originally wanted to investigate Superman's recent whereabouts through Louise first. The reason why he didn't go to Clark directly was because with the relationship between Clark and Superman, he might instinctively become vigilant and cover up something for Superman.
But now that they've come to this point, Bruce doesn't intend to let Clark go in vain.
