Chapter 0129: The Wisdom of a Stoic Woman
After separating from Warren Buffett, Tang Huan returned to the office of the Shennong Foundation, just in time to meet Fisher, who had recently become famous.
After discovering the treasure and converting it into discretionary gains, Tang Huan gave the other party a piece of money without any delay, and the accounts were also done above board. Therefore, Fisher admired Tang Huan's character very much, and his trust in him skyrocketed.
After discovering the wreckage of the Lady Atoka, Fisher's obsession with treasure hunting almost disappeared. And now that the family has suddenly added about 50 million US dollars to their wealth, everyone naturally wants to enjoy life first and relax the body and mind that have been tired for decades.
So, Fisher returned to his hometown of California for vacation, and at the same time cooperated with the Shennong Foundation to do some campaign activities.
Cameron made a documentary about the discovery of the treasure, in which Fisher was the protagonist, which is currently being broadcast on various television stations and is very popular.
This legendary experience of getting rich overnight is so eye-catching that Fisher has almost become a star, which can be regarded as fame and fortune.
In fact, one of the main motivations for Fisher to revolve around Tang Huan so enthusiastically came from the English name of the Treasure Hospital, after all, his son died in search of treasure.
Just like an incident in a previous life, the son was wrongfully convicted by the court to die, and later the state compensated millions of dollars, and the media asked the parents of the person concerned how the money would be spent.
Misfortune and wealth are entangled, and the bitterness in the hearts of parents is impossible to talk about. Fisher's eagerness to do something about the hospital named after his son is understandable.
However, Tang Huan did not plan to let Fisher directly participate in the specific preparation process of the Treasure Hospital, and his brother still had to settle accounts, he didn't want to be vague about the property rights, but Tang Huan promised Fisher that he would set aside a square to build a monument and allow the Fisher family to contribute, and in order to be consistent in style, the designer must be Lin Ying, who has agreed to participate in the design of the hospital.
Don't look at the 21-year-old Lin Ying, who is still studying at Yale University, but now she has participated in the competition for the design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in the United States.
Although the results of the selection have not yet been finalized, Tang Huan knows what happened in the original time and space.
Among the 1,421 works by many designers, Maya Lin's design won the first place.
But because Lin is of Chinese descent and has been boycotted by racists and some Vietnam veterans, the jury had to start over.
As a result, after the second judging, Maya Lin's design still won the first place.
Due to the funder's difficulties, Maya Lin's design and the second-place design were built together in Washington, D.C.
However, after its completion, it was only the second design of the statues of the three Vietnam War soldiers, and no one cared about it, and the Vietnam War Memorial Monument designed by Lin Ying was designed to accept the dead as if the earth was cracked, which had a strong shocking power and quickly became a famous local building, with an endless stream of tourists.
I have to admire that, in the professional field, the persistence of the American experts is very much admirable.
Of course, Tang Huan can't lag behind, if such talents are not needed, then it will inevitably be blind, and it can also help the other party increase their qualifications, why not.
It is estimated that by the time Jobs became obsessed with industrial design and invited Maya Lin to help design the MAC, the salary that Apple needed to pay would definitely be a little longer.
Fisher was very satisfied with Tang Huan's patient explanation, and he sighed with emotion, "Searching for a lifetime of treasure has become a habit and hobby, I don't know if I can still be idle after being busy with things in the hospital." ”
After Tang Huan heard this, he smiled playfully. He secretly said in his heart, an experienced treasure hunter like you can't go into hiding, and my brother also knows the news of some other undersea treasures. According to the historical trajectory, in the next few decades, they will either fall into the hands of private salvage companies, or they will be taken away by Spain through lawsuits, and it is better to take advantage of the fact that the whole world is now busy with the Cold War and take them into the pocket.
Moreover, famous shipwrecks such as the Titanic, the battleship Bismarck, the aircraft carrier Yorktown, etc., also make people curious.
Brother doesn't have time to explore, so get a salvage fleet to do it for you, this is the tall toy of billionaires, and at the same time, you can brush up on the world prestige by the way.
What's more, the sinking of the Titanic is approaching the 70th anniversary. At this moment in history, it is time for this shipwreck to reappear in front of the world, so as to remind everyone that human beings and their technological achievements may not be able to compete with the forces of nature.
"Your treasure hunt team is the most experienced, and it would be a shame if it really disbanded." Tang Huan looked at Fisher and solemnly proposed, "I like sailing very much, but unfortunately the business is too busy and I can't help myself, why don't we partner up to form a new salvage team, so as to meet my desire to explore." ”
Fisher's eyes lit up, "That's great, I still remember the high-tech salvage equipment you brought last time, and then I suddenly realized that I once boasted that I had mastered enough advanced technology, but it was outdated." ”
"The so-called advanced equipment also needs to be used properly to be effective, and the device called the mailbox that you invented using the soil method is more practical."
Tang Huan, who was seriously exchanging views, talked about Fisher's pride, and the other party deeply felt that he had met a bosom friend, and then exchanged ideas endlessly.
The two of them said that the rise of night fell unconsciously.
Tang Huan looked at the time, Lin Fengjiao's flight was about to arrive, and he hurriedly sent Fisher away.
……
Lin Fengjiao finished answering Tang Huan's call, ignoring Hu Yinmeng's ridicule and Zhang Aijia and Hu Huizhong's curiosity, and immediately began to book air tickets and pack up.
"Jiaojiao is going to meet her lover, and she can't take care of us." Hu Yinmeng pulled up Zhang Aijia and Hu Huizhong, "Let's not be idle, let's go, go to Xiangjiang." ”
Lin Fengjiao found that she was slow to treat the guests, so she hurriedly apologized, and after sending them away, she returned to her parents' house to make arrangements, and then took the flight to the United States in a happy mood.
Of course, Lin Fengjiao also had some gains and losses in her heart, because Tang Huan had already said that she would go to San Francisco to see her aunt this time.
After the plane landed, Lin Fengjiao, who was alone, saw that it was dark and couldn't help but start to be nervous about safety, but when he saw Tang Huan, all kinds of worries immediately disappeared.
Tang Huan smiled and hugged Lin Fengjiao into his arms, bowed his head and gave a long kiss, and Lin Fengjiao, who had no scruples here in the United States, responded warmly.
In the cosmopolitan city of San Francisco, such intimate acts between lovers are commonplace, and even if others see them, their eyes are faintly swept away.
"Let's go, let's go back to the hotel." Tang Huan helped Lin Fengjiao brush up her slightly messy hair, then dragged the suitcase with one hand and pulled her with the other, and walked towards his car.
"Why don't you go see your aunt right away?" Lin Fengjiao asked suspiciously.
"You rest for the night first, and then go to see your aunt tomorrow, it just so happens that I have something to tell you." Tang Huan replied as he put the suitcase into the trunk of the car.
Lin Fengjiao nodded obediently, sat in the passenger seat, and chatted with Tang Huan about various things about the New Year.
After arriving at the hotel, Tang Huan asked, "Shall we go to the restaurant outside to eat, or do we order the food and let the waiter bring it?" ”
Lin Fengjiao stretched her waist coquettishly, "Let's eat here, I'm a little tired." ”
After Tang Huan called the front desk of the hotel, he patted the seat next to him, "Jiaojiao, come and sit, I want to talk to you about something." ”
"Say it." Lin Fengjiao hugged Tang Huan's arm and leaned on his shoulder affectionately.
Tang Huan rubbed his nose, and suddenly realized that he was not as sophisticated as he imagined, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.
After waiting for a while, Tang Huan didn't let go, Lin Fengjiao smiled, "If you don't say it, then I'll guess?" ”
Tang Huan shook his head with a smile, "Then guess." ”
"In my impression, you are omnipotent, the most likely thing to make you embarrassed should be family trivialities, did you provoke some powerful girls, and even let people find the secret knot of the pearl fetus, so it made my aunt angry." Lin Fengjiao's tone was full of resentment.
Tang Huan coughed twice, "Am I so bad, and let people come to the door." ”
"So, that's really the problem." Lin Fengjiao's cheek gently rubbed against Tang Huan's shoulder, "Don't worry, say it boldly, even if I go back to Treasure Island immediately, I can stand it, Jiaojiao has always been stoic since she was a child." ”
"What do you say, I like you too late, how could I drive you away." Tang Huan pinched Lin Fengjiao's cheek reproachfully, "I asked you to come to San Francisco this time to accompany my aunt, but there are some causes and effects in the middle, and I have to explain it to you clearly." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Huan pondered for a moment, "I once told you, you are my second girlfriend, and you know who your ex is, we are separated for some reason, but she has a child, so the two families are still very close." When the baby was born last month, she asked to take her mother's surname, and I agreed. As a result, my aunt made a fuss, and mixed with some short trivial matters in the family, the old lady was completely angry, and forced me to find a well-behaved daughter-in-law for her to accompany her immediately, then I could only ask you to come over and comfort my aunt. ”
The reason why she insists that children follow their motherhood is also because she wants to have a dependence, so that she can guard you like a jade. When a woman meets you, she doesn't know whether to say lucky or unlucky. Lin Fengjiao, who breathed a long sigh of relief, pinched the tender meat on Tang Huan's waist.
"Do you consider yourself lucky or unlucky?" Tang Huan asked cheekily.
"Of course I was lucky. Unlike Hu Yinmeng and Zhang Aijia, who have a prominent family background, I came from a humble background, and I worked as a dancer in order to make a living, but a big man like you does not dislike it, and sincerely cares about and loves me, isn't this lucky? And now the hearts of the people in Baodao are fluctuating, with your support, I still have nothing to be satisfied with. Lin Fengjiao replied leisurely.
"Jiaojiao is the most understanding, and the matter of accompanying your aunt will be left to you. The old lady is very lonely, you can coax it these days, and wait for this period of depression, and then you will go back to Treasure Island. Now that the words have been spoken, Tang Huan is also calm, so he carefully advised.
"Don't worry, I see." Lin Fengjiao nodded solemnly.
Tang Huan quietly observed Lin Fengjiao's expression and found that she had no displeasure, and when she was eating, she was also smiling as usual, which made Tang Huan secretly relieved.
However, when resting, Lin Fengjiao said lightly, "Don't touch me at night, I want to keep my spirits up and see my aunt tomorrow." ”
This made Tang Huan depressed, and for the first time he lost the initiative in the matter of the two of them.
