Over the next few days, Jester was helping the design team named 'Metal' by Seifer Darberwater complete the levels of Sheriff Balotelli when he received a call from his uncle.

The meeting between the investment delegation that his grandfather contacted to invest in the mainland and the commercial counselor there was scheduled for three days later.

Jester had to explain a few things, and then immediately rushed to San Francisco.

San Francisco literal translation is San Francisco, the earliest Cantonese translation is San Francisco, which is the starting point of the Chinese labor tide in that year, countless Chinese were deceived by the lie that is woven everywhere is gold, and became slave laborers, and a song called "Earth" written by a band in later generations was created in this background, although Jester is not a fan of this band, he still likes the songs of this band, because the songs of this band have a rare humanistic spirit among Hong Kong musicians, Their creative vision is also very rare among Hong Kong musicians.

Los Angeles and San Francisco are no more than 700 kilometers away, and even if you drive yourself, it won't take you more than six and a half hours, and you can enjoy the scenery of the American highway all the way.

In addition to being tired, there are no other drawbacks.

Jester wasn't in a hurry, so he drove his new Ford F150 pickup truck all the way to San Francisco, and the young man was energetic, and it wasn't a bad thing to be tired.

According to the history he knows, the mainland during this period is indeed very welcome to overseas Chinese returning to invest in China, and for Jester, who understands the magnificent tide of the 30 years, it now seems to be a poor and white continent, which is really full of gold, and he looks down and picks up.

Jester's uncle doesn't live in San Francisco, but his grandfather and sister-in-law live here.

His sister-in-law, who is much younger than his father, is his grandfather's old daughter, and now only 27 years old, graduated from the prestigious Ohio State University with a degree in accounting, is also a member of the AICPA, and currently works for the famous Deloitte accounting firm in Los Angeles.

Of course, he is still unmarried.

His sister-in-law, like his uncle, his mother's father, inherited his grandfather's true heritage, and even in Jester's impression, if his sister-in-law inherited his grandfather's career as a chef, she would be better than his uncle.

His grandfather's residence was a small estate on the outskirts of San Francisco, where his sister-in-law also lived, and there were two gardeners and housekeepers, and no one else.

Except when those old friends visit, it is usually very quiet.

It's just that his grandfather has been in the United States for decades, and there are not many Chinese people who have received his favor, so there are many people who come to visit him, almost every day, so it is not easy to find a few leisure days.

When Jester arrived, two men with a somewhat lonely look were chatting with his grandfather in the living room.

His sister-in-law is a very standard Chinese woman, gentle and virtuous, modest and polite, very similar to his deceased grandmother, every time his father talks, he says that his grandmother is the best woman in the world, but he is extremely contemptuous of his grandfather.

When Jester saw his sister-in-law, he hurriedly whispered hello, and his sister-in-law nodded with a smile and said, "I'll make you a cup of tea." ”

"I'll go and put incense on my grandmother first." Jester nodded and walked towards his grandmother's funeral hall in the house.

After the incense, Jester and his sister-in-law were drinking tea in the side hall on one side, a little curious, Jester asked, "What are the two people who chatted with the old man in the living room just now?" Why does the expression look so ugly? ”

His sister-in-law smiled and said, "I used to open a card factory at home, but now there is an emergency at home, and I want to ask your grandfather if he can find someone to take over and exchange some money for emergency relief." ”

"Solitaire Factory?" Jester was a little confused.

"It's Clement Card Company, the scale is not small on the West Coast, but it seems that his son's investment failed, and he needs a lot of money to turnover, before he sold a few best-selling poker cards in the factory, but it was not enough to fill this hole, this time he can only sell the card factory that he has been operating for decades." While speaking, his sister-in-law sighed and said a little lonely, "Your grandfather is not in a good mood these days, this person came to the United States at about the same time as him, and he can be regarded as a close friend, and he usually has a lot of help, originally he was also in the investment group to the mainland this time, but now it seems that it is unlikely." And your grandfather originally wanted to lend him a little money this time, but the other party didn't accept it, saying that he was old and wanted to sell the property and return to China with his son to make some investments, so he should take care of his old age......"

After hearing his sister-in-law's words, Jester's eyes rolled, as if he had thought of something.

Then Jester took a sip of water from his teacup and moistened his throat, and asked in a deep voice, "How big is their company's distribution channel, and is it still sound?" ”

Jester's sister-in-law thought about it with a frowning eyebrow, "At least it covers the entire Midwest of the United States, and there are also on the East Coast, and the distribution channels are sound, all of which are included in the card company, and their assets are audited by me." ”

Then Jester was silent for a moment, then drank the tea that had become warm in his hand and asked, "How much do they ask?" ”

His sister-in-law is also a smart person, so she naturally heard what Jester meant, and she asked suspiciously, "Aren't you making games?" What do you do when you buy a poker company? Isn't this a chaotic investment? The poker business is not profitable now, and his company's best-selling poker brand has been sold, aren't you sure you will lose money if you buy it? I reminded you when you invested indiscriminately before, and asked you to pay attention to your capital chain, but you didn't listen, and now you have enough funds in your hands? Want to spend money again? ”

Jester was also a little embarrassed by his sister-in-law's reprimand, he could only smile bitterly and explain: "I have an idea for a card game here, I've been thinking about it for a long time, I think it's very interesting, but I haven't had time to operate it." It just so happened that you said that there was a card company for sale, so I wanted to ask the price, didn't he even have a distribution channel? In this way, as soon as I make a card game, I can make a profit, if the price is right, I want to buy it, of course, if the price is high, I will not sell. ”

Jester's sister-in-law looked at him suspiciously, frowned and thought for a moment before she said loudly, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true." Jester smiled wryly and nodded.

"Then tell me what kind of game it is." Jester's sister-in-law hesitated, still not believing Jester.

"That's right, I set up a card game based on history, the basic forces are divided into three, the three kingdoms that Charlemagne divided after his death, France, Germany and Italy, and then the players play the monarchs of these three countries and their civil and military generals, divided into monarchs, loyal ministers, traitors, traitors and four different identities to attack and kill each other, and even continue to add new forces, such as the Washington power package of the United States, the Lincoln power bag, the World War II power bag, the British Elizabeth power bag, Victoria's power package, France's Napoleonic power package, the Sun King power package, China's various dynastic power packages......"

Then Jester put the famous BANG! , Three Kingdoms Killing, and some of the settings of Hero Killing, changed to the history of the European continent and the whole world.

"Does this card game really work? It sounds complicated to me. Jester's sister-in-law still didn't believe it.

Jester pouted, and said as a matter of course, "I have a more complex card game setting here, which is about the theme of magic, but I haven't thought about it yet...... This kind of card game is played together when friends get together, and it's not complicated and boring to play. ”

After thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem that what his nephew said was a nonsense, and although his nephew had invested indiscriminately before, he had not lost money, and the owner of this card factory was indeed her father's best friend.

So Jester's sister-in-law seemed to have made up her mind and said: "Okay, their best-selling brands have been sold, so the value of the entire enterprise has been halved, but the equipment land channel or something is still worth some money, a total of five million dollars, if you really want it, I will help you contact it, four million dollars is enough." ”

"Four million."

Jester hesitated at first when he heard this price, in fact, he was really not short of money for him who had just earned more than 300 million US dollars, and the sales channels of this poker company were also laid well, and a little modification could be used as a sales channel for popular game publishing companies, but he was indeed cheated by spending money once before, and his capital chain was tight, and he was almost unsustainable, so he was a little afraid of this.

Jester's sister-in-law said that she didn't really want Jester to spend the money, and she wasn't very optimistic about the game idea that Jester had just mentioned, even though she didn't understand it herself.

But it didn't prevent her from thinking about it for a while, anyway, it was impossible for her to be at a party with friends, a group of people with a stack of playing cards, no matter how fun the card game was, she had no interest in it.

If it weren't for the fact that the owner of this poker factory was indeed her family's best friend, she wouldn't have said anything about helping Jester buy it for four million.

After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the Smash Bros. card game he envisioned in this world was still quite emotional, and even if this thing didn't achieve the expected success, wouldn't he still have the killer card game Magic, and then expanding into a video game was also a regular income, and although Magic's future profitability was not strong, it had been stable, so Jester decided to buy this card factory that was ready to sell.

He thought about it carefully, and this was not a random investment.

"Okay, I've decided to buy it, you can help me talk to them, I haven't put four million dollars in my eyes yet." Jace nodded in agreement.

"Do you really want to buy it?" His sister-in-law saw Jester's hesitant look in front of her, thinking that he would refuse, but she didn't expect that her nephew, after some serious thinking, still made this very stupid decision in her opinion.

But she could only nod and agree.

"I hope my nephew is really not investing indiscriminately this time." She could only comfort herself in her heart.
