Chapter 674: Goodbye Jobs
In Instagram, Andy and a group of apes got together to discuss his source code, the extension of the whole software, in fact, in Andy's original idea, he didn't want to merge the photo wall and Weibo mode to develop, because it was not focused enough.
As an application software, it is simple, and it is more easy for foreigners to get started and accept, but in order to have a social platform, on the premise of not acquiring Twitter, you can only make a little effort to get one yourself, but fortunately, the people recruited from the establishment of the new company are also familiar with rewriting a program similar to Twitter.
It wasn't until around 4 p.m. that Andy was reminded by Christina, a work assistant next to him, that he needed to prepare for the dinner party in the evening.
Walking to the whole street wall in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, I stretched my waist, moved my sedentary body, and looked at the wide road with few vehicles, after all, although the office building leased by the new company is a new building, it is located in a relatively remote area, but it is on the same street as Watsp's Freedom City Technology Company.
If it weren't for the fact that it's not the lowest point of real estate prices, Andy would have been buying and hoarding real estate and land on a large scale, but he knows how much real estate prices in the Bay Area have risen after the subprime mortgage crisis in '09 and the economy has begun to recover.
A large number of entrepreneurs and new IT tycoons have gathered here, and the supply of land and houses in the Bay Area is simply in short supply, not to mention the extremely high prices of living, and the rent of houses is also high.
Back at the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy didn't see Tory Black in the presidential suite, so he couldn't help frowning slightly, and took out his mobile phone to call her.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm doing makeup next door, it's going to take a while, and I'm getting my hair done... ”
Rolling his eyes and hanging up the phone, Andy knew that he couldn't finish it in one to two hours, walked into the bedroom, took out a white bathrobe from the closet, and went into the bathroom.
In the luxurious square marble platform white porcelain whirlpool bathtub, the water is tumbling, and from time to time there is a splash, Andy takes off his clothes, the whole person is soaked in the warm bath water, reaches out to take the remote control from the side, and begins to rummage through the TV program.
When he came out of the bathroom, his whole body relaxed, and he walked out a little lazily, after finishing his hairstyle and makeup, Tori Blake, who had finished his manicure, appeared in the living room in a vest-style waist-cinching tufted skirt dress embellished with dark red sequins, with two unknown women by his side.
"Boss, this is Jenny, the hairstylist, and her assistant, let her help you get your hair done. Tori said lightly in bright red chun.
"Yes. Andy, dressed in a bathrobe, nodded, walked over to the chair that had been set up and sat down, his hair didn't need to be cleaned up too much, just a little trimmed the ends, and then it was blow-dried and shaped.
As night fell, Andy took Tori in a car to the venue where the reception was held. The venue was in a hotel, but when I got to the door, the car stopped, and it turned out that there were several cars in front of it, all of whom were guests who had come to attend tonight's cocktail party.
Andy glanced sideways at Tory Black, who was taking a deep breath and was a little excited with a red flutter, and couldn't help chuckling, his eyes moved down, looking at the pair of BAO full of upper circumferences being tightly bound and squeezed in the middle, a glimmer of heaven.
"I said, aren't you uncomfortable being so crowded?"
"That's how it looks good, the front is a U-shaped neckline, it will look particularly ugly if you don't squeeze out the ravine, and the collar in the back is open, don't you like it?" The little assistant Pu fanned his long eyelashes and looked at the big demon king with a worried look and explained.
Andy said casually: "It's okay, you don't feel uncomfortable, just like yourself, don't be nervous for a while." ”
The car moved forward slowly, and saw that the hotel was crowded with reporters on both sides of the entrance, and on the opposite side of the main entrance of the hotel was a large group of men and women holding up various self-made signs, many of them raised their arms very high, and were shouting urgently, protesting against something across the road, and there were two police cars parked on the side of the road, and seven or eight policemen with big bellies stretched out of their uniforms scattered not far from each other.
Andy is not interested in knowing what these people are against, anyway, there are really a lot of idlers in the United States, and the protest crowd is very easy to gather, tonight's drinking party is held by Steve Jobs, a hardcore supporter of the Donkey Party, and many politicians from the Donkey Party are back, such as the Terminator Governor, and the mayor of San Francisco will participate, after all, presidential candidate O'Black Bull is the main guest tonight.
Andy has no interest in the Elephant Party's Donkey Party controversy, and he has never clearly stood up to support that party, which makes no sense to him, well, after all, it is the hardcore family of the Elephant Party, and in general, he still favors some Elephant Party, but O'Black Bull, the future re-elected president, he still decided to support it.
U.S. law stipulates that individual donations, and the total amount of donations in each election cannot exceed $2,500, so this donation is really a chicken rib project, Andy needs to meet with O'Black Bull and experience his charm before deciding whether to further support him, set up a or directly donate to support a PAC, which is a political organization, initiated by a business, individual or institution, for example, a company announces the establishment of a PAC, injects a fund, and accepts donations at the same time.
The PAC can't work with candidates it supports, but the law allows it to advertise that it can praise candidates it supports or disparage candidates it doesn't like. Since advertising spending is the largest expense in every presidential election, companies can directly influence the outcome of the election through PAC.
Through the car window, Andy glanced at the protest sign held alof, well, against the current governor of California, Schwarzenegger, because he vetoed the marriage bill that had been passed by the state's House of Representatives, opposing the legalization of marriage to Xing. Anyway, there are all kinds of protest signs, and there is everything.
Andy can only say that this group of people is just idle egg pain, as if their protest will really make this group of politicians compromise.
The car door opened, Andy got off the station on the red carpet, turned around and stretched out his hand to support Tory Black's little hand, when the two stood on the red carpet and were recognized by reporters, the whole audience was covered with white light, and shouts one after another, all wanted Andy to cooperate to take a few photos.
How could Andy take care of them, the slightly nervous little assistant held his arm tightly and walked unhurriedly towards the hotel door, without the slightest intention of stopping.
In the splendid hall of the cocktail party, Jobs and his wife Helen were smiling and smiling in a straight suit, with a bow, chic and calm, very talkative O'Hei Niu and his wife, who was a little good-looking and very distinctive.
A person walked quickly to Jobs' side, and whispered a few words beside him, which made Jobs's eyes light up slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry, two, I'm going to miss a while, there's an important guest here, I need to greet it... ”
"Hehe, I'm with you, I've wanted to get to know him for a long time, and I just want to thank him. The youngest billionaire, he is quite famous in Washington. Ao Hei Niu's eyes shone brightly, and he said with a happy smile on his face.
"Oh, you've crossed paths with Andy Smith too?" Jobs looked at O'Black Bull with some surprise, walked side by side with him to the gate, and chuckled.
"No, but all of his media outlets have photographed reporters joining my campaign press corps, and the reports are more pertinent, not hostile, and as rumored to be, there is no clear party bias, and there is great value to fight for. Ohei Niu smiled and nodded in return with the guests who passed by to toast him, and said directly to the senior supporter of the Donkey Party beside him.
"Hehe, if you can really try to get him to open up about his political leanings and stand up for the Donkey Party, then you have done a great thing. With a smile on his face, Jobs shook his head slightly and continued: "However, this thing basically won't happen, maybe he will support you in running for president, but he will definitely not show his political position, this young man is not an ordinary young man, forget it, I'll know when I see you in a while." ”
When Andy walked into the door of the banquet with his little assistant, he immediately attracted the attention of many people, and now, there is no one in the United States who does not know him.
"Huh?" Andy hummed, but with a charming smile on his face, he greeted the group of four who were heading straight for him.
"Hi Steve, thanks for having me. Andy stretched out his hand to shake hands with Jobs, who was also smiling, and said, "You have to pay attention to your body, compared to the last time we met, you have lost a lot of weight." ”
Although the smile on his emaciated face was still maintained, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and Jobs, who looked a little strange, shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said: "There is no problem with my body, but I have been a little busy recently, you know, it is a very troublesome thing to reduce the price to compensate for old users." Without saying that, come, I'll introduce you to... ”
