Chapter 82: Buying a Computer
After speaking, he muttered in his heart, thinking that Kate should not know about this, and then put his mind at ease.
I'm really afraid of these girls, Su Mu is different from other students in this school, and he can afford the high tuition of more than $10,000 a year, which shows that their family background will not be too bad, even those students who enter Menlo Park High School at public expense, many of them have superior family conditions, and the criterion for selecting a full scholarship is not to see who is poorer.
Those heartless students are idle all day long and use their lower bodies to think about problems, and Su Mu, who has experienced hard times since he was a child, has no time to eat, drink and have fun with them.
What's more, the concept of love is different, affected by the family and living environment, and I am very disgusted with messing around in order to solve my physiological needs.
In this era, AIDS has just entered the people's eye, and there are several patients with this disease in Chinatown, who have been sentenced to death by doctors, and cocktail therapy and the like have not yet appeared, and their life expectancy ranges from a few months to two or three years.
Even if he wants to indulge, he won't find a girl with such a messy private life, and casually lied, trying to get Molly and the others to stop harassing him, it is the age when the physiological needs are extremely strong, and they have been a little hot recently, and they have picked chrysanthemums to dry and use to soak in water to drink.
Grandpa Du Zhong is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and he often comes into contact with him, and when he was a child, he went to his clinic to help, so he knew something about these home remedies.
Su Mu underestimated Molly's determination, her expression was strange, as if she was wondering how a beautiful girl who went to Hollywood to be an actress could fall in love with Su Mu, and continued to say:
"Your girlfriend isn't there, is she, no one will know, if you like, I can introduce you to friends who are easier to get started with, how about coming to my party?"
I didn't understand what Su Mu wanted at all, and I was using the means of seducing other people to tease Su Mu, which seemed very naïve, and it was like this in high school, as long as a good-looking girl was willing, it would attract a large group of men to follow, and it was true.
They felt that this was a welcome performance, but Su Mu didn't think so, and was more ambitious, thinking about problems with his head most of the time, and shook his head again with a smile and declined.
Molly, who was standing in front of him, was angry when she saw his expression, how could she continue to stay and endure the humiliation, and left angrily, and a few girls who were watching the excitement not far away guessed that she had failed again and burst into laughter.
At this moment, Su Mu didn't know that the fake news that he was Gay would soon spread in this school.
But even if he knew, he might not care too much, he was already unpopular with his classmates in school, it was just a little more strange stares, and his big heart could bear it......
Daniel Brown soon came running out of breath, his head covered in sweat.
His schoolbag looks full of weight, the price of American books is not low, authors can live a rich life by writing a bestseller, few people will put textbooks in the classroom and not take them away, plus the classroom is not fixed, so the school is very considerate for the students, prepared a private cupboard.
He gasped and said to Su Mu: "I'm sorry, I was asked by the teacher to help, I ran over after finishing it, fortunately, our school is very small, I was almost exhausted, so accompany me to put my schoolbag in the cabinet first?"
"Of course you can, you should exercise more, it's only been a little over a month since school started, and I've been sick twice. Su Mu said as he took a tissue and handed it to Daniel.
Daniel took it and wiped his sweat and replied with a smile: "I will learn to swim this semester, my swimming pool has been unused, I can come to swim together after I learn, it is better to call a few girls to have a party!"
Well, this guy is a typical representative of American high school students, who usually talk and always connect with girls.
After knowing each other for more than a month, Su Mu already knew that Daniel's father, who was the director of a research institute under Motorola, was a super white-collar worker with an annual income of more than $500,000.
He didn't know exactly how much money he could make, but he was very rich anyway, he had a Jaguar at home, and a Mercedes-Benz, and it was normal for the house to have a swimming pool.
Chatting while walking, he accompanied Daniel to put away his school bag, and the two of them left the school on their bicycles.
Most of the other students are still in school, the streets are empty, there are many Ford Mustang on the side of the road, and many high school students from good families have already driven themselves to school.
Once the Ford Mustang was Su Mu's favorite car, it was not really a "favorite", it was more like being forced to be helpless, there was only so much money at home, and there was not much space to choose from.
Now that the supermarket is about to open, Su Mu unconsciously has a sweet dream, thinking that if the business is booming, maybe he can buy a Porsche 911 when he is an adult, as for the Ferrari, the price is too high, and he does not dare to think about it for the time being.
Many companies in Silicon Valley produce computers, and there are many sales outlets on the street, and now Su Mu plans to learn about the price of computers and prepare for the next business, today is Wednesday, and he has to go home on Friday, and he will not have time to buy computers at that time.
The mall was not far from the school, not far from Menlo Park High School, on Dune Road, which had been famous for several years and was home to a large number of shops, and Su Mu had gone there to buy tutorials that he would use for programming classes, $130 per class, and keep squeezing money out of his pocket, or he would have been able to use $25,000 to start a company.
He has been hesitant to start creating a company, but because of insufficient funds, he has to put it off again and again, which makes Su Mu often feel irritable, and the feeling of having no money in his hand is really bad.
Daniel came to Dune Road, there are several ten-story "high-rise buildings" on both sides, such a tall building in New York or Los Angeles, it will not attract attention at all, but this is Silicon Valley, the development time is too short, and there are too many idle land resources, no one wants to build high-rise buildings here.
The rent on Dune Road is very high, many large companies rent houses here for office, and almost all of the first floor sells high-tech electronics, Su Mu did not stop when he passed by Apple's direct store, because the price of the Metagin series of computers is too high, and Du Zhong's father bought this one, and the same price can buy a higher configuration of IBM computers.
Because of the competition between IBM and Apple, Apple's sales have plummeted recently, and the market value has also been declining, so Steve Jobs is at odds with the board of directors, and it is not a small conflict, those shareholders want to kick Jobs out of Apple and hire a more professional professional manager as the chief executive officer (CEO) to take charge of the company's affairs.
This is mainly the result of Jobs' insistence on going his own way and the failure to develop products, which is known to the entire Silicon Valley region, which shows how big Apple's recent internal contradictions are, and its market value has fallen by about a quarter in the past three months.
Poor Jobs didn't have much talent for business, and now he has lost control of the company, which makes Su Mu wonder how Apple will succeed and become the most valuable company in the world in the future......
