Chapter 36 Investing in X Academy
"Jonathan, good meal, don't be busy!"
"It's coming!"
In the United States, an ordinary family generally has a clear division of labor, who washes the dishes, who cooks, and who cleans up the housework, and most families have a clear division of labor.
On the farm, Emma was responsible for cooking, doing her homework and cleaning the house, while Jonathan was responsible for feeding the few hens that lay eggs on the farm.
"Ms. Emma, I'd like to spend some money on some renovation tools to decorate the basement. You see, last time, there were always some people who saw money, and it was safe to build a basement to hide some valuables. In addition, a friend of mine also needs money, so I want to take out part of our family's money to help him. ”
Jonathan threw the bone stick on the table to the two small earth dogs under the table, the black earth dog, also known as the Zhonghua Pastoral Dog, which he had worked so hard to get. Because he had a black soil dog in his previous life who accompanied him until the last moment of his life, he had a lot of good feelings.
"You're not small now, you have to make the decisions about all the major things in the family, as long as you think it's appropriate, you can do it. As for me, just pray not to be a burden to you. ”
"How can it be a burden! Ms. Emma, you're thinking too much, aren't you? ”
Jonathan was a down-to-earth and hard-working old man in his last life, working hard for a house of dozens of square meters every day from five to eight in the morning, he was thin and wore glasses, and in the eyes of many people, he was the one who failed. He tried and struggled, but failed again and again.
However, the ordinary past of life, to the moment of death, as the old people say, most people generally have two thoughts, the first is how can I stay in this world for a second longer, and the second is like Jonathan, the memories of this life are like slides, what I have done, what I should do, what I should not do, the same through my own brain and thinking.
So putting aside the dregs, Jonathan in this life is suddenly reborn like a phoenix, he is still as flawed as an imperfect piece of jade, at least he stands taller and sees farther than his predecessors.
In his previous life, his father, who was busy with entertainment, died of diabetes complications very early, but he could only watch but was powerless to do it, so in this life he cares more about his parents' affection.
As for building a basement, he wanted to hide some of the precious items he had collected in the basement, and he could also set up a small laboratory, which was what he had in mind at Charles's house the other day.
As early as a few days ago, when he came back from New York, he went to Charles's house, Charles's home is not small, it is something left to him by his ancestors.
"Jonathan, I'm afraid you also know about the boiling mutants that the school has been talking about, yes, I'm a mutant. There are many stories of mutants, and it may take a long time to tell them in detail, and I am grateful that you are here, which proves that you are not afraid and discriminate against mutants! ”
Sitting on a bench in the back garden of Charles's house, there is a secluded lake, and Jonathan takes a few pebbles and throws them on the calm surface of the lake, splashing a ripple!
"You're not here to talk about this, are you?"
"I've gathered a few sixteen- or seventeen-year-old mutant kids, but none of them have developed their abilities, and we have to work with the CIA to protect them. It's just that they didn't expect the Black Emperor to attack them again a few days ago, and the CIA was helpless. At this time, I decided that I would let them use their abilities and take out their own weapons to protect themselves and protect this already chaotic world! The more Charles spoke, the more excited he became, his eyes red, his fists clenched tightly, and the bruises on his forehead were exposed.
"Stop! But what does this have to do with me? ”
"I'm going to set up a school, and I'm going to give us mutants a place where we can live without discrimination or fear when everyone is isolated, just like ordinary people. I can teach them how to protect themselves and how to get along better with others in this society......"
"Stop! I asked what it had to do with me......"
"I need money, and I don't need it that much, it's just that I don't want to run around because of money, I inherited some possessions, but I want to build an underground empire with perfect measures, so I need more money. I don't want to wait any longer, especially when I know you're the majority shareholder behind Stark Industries. Charles said that this was a bit embarrassing, after all, although he has a mouth that can speak, he also wants to save face!
At this time, he was very confused, he didn't know what the future of this school would be, and how many mutants would join in, but he just wanted to do his best.
"So you want to borrow money!"
"It's not about borrowing money, maybe I won't be able to repay the money after borrowing it, so I want to think about it, you can join in, let's build this school together, and this school will have your share in the future!"
"I want to ask, can I earn this money back for me, is it just by collecting tuition?"
Hearing that Jonathan now understands that his roommate in college for a few years is going to start X College with him, and he was still thinking about how to insert a foot in X College without being suspected, but he didn't expect that now Charles came to the door by himself.
That's right, Charles's family does have a few dollars and a big mansion, but after he established X Academy, he can't eat his old books all day. Those students don't need a lot of money for food, housing, and training and destruction tools, maybe Charles doesn't have a bottom in his heart now, so he finds himself knowing that he is a shareholder of Stark Industries.
Jonathan has watched the X-Men series of movies, in which the expenses of the X Academy are borne by Charles alone, there are not many rich students, and the only one who can handle it is probably only the father of the angel in X3.
I'm afraid that although X Academy is beautiful on the surface, Charles must be running around a lot!
Tony's father, Howard, is also a playboy who buys luxury homes and cars, spends a lot of money on women, and now the two have almost equal shares in Stark Industries.
Take out some of it yourself and take some of it from the farm, and Charles can take out some of it himself, so that he can have a certain amount of money to build X Academy, and he doesn't have to lose much of his investment in Stark Industries.
"No, Jonathan, some students will not be stingy if they have extra money, so we can't turn away mutants without money, and we are also a charity......"
"Charity, you think of taking care of your brother and me for a few years, you are too shameless!"
Jonathan is also cheap and obedient, the key is that Charles doesn't know yet, in the next few decades, I am afraid that both Charles and the students of X Academy will feel that without Jonathan's generosity back then, their lives would not be so prosperous.
Of course, X Academy is the base camp of mutants, although the partnership with Charles to establish X Academy may be far inferior to Charles in terms of status over time, but in the future, there is something to do with his own identity that can not arouse suspicion.
Besides, I'm afraid that for the future giant Stark Industries, it will be a drop in the bucket to provide a part of the operation of X Academy!
