Yes, Alex wants to go home. He kind of hated the feeling of wandering.

He does everything according to his interest, and once he loses interest, he will feel bored and bored, and he usually can't stick to it at this time. This time it was the same, and he was thinking about whether to go home.

Now he feels that his home is warmer, maybe it has something to do with the fact that he was an otaku in his last life.

It's just that he has signed a contract with someone on this tour, and Deere, as the CEO of a CPT agency, has long been looking forward to the Carpenter brothers on tour. When Alex announced that he was going to start touring, Dill immediately found many cities to sign contracts, and even gave a deposit.

Unless something unexpected happens, Deere's deposit will be wasted. If Alex repented, he would have been scolded to death by Diel.

If Alex could let go of the fun, this tour would be pretty good, after all, there are so many women willing to spend the night fooling around with them. Look at little Richard and how happy they are, you can see how hi they are.

Alex played his guitar a few times and finally decided, "Forget it, let's finish this tour first." ”

The concert in Houston was held five or six times in a row, and the venue was full, and those who had seen it once wanted to go in again. People who hadn't seen it came from all over the city, and the city's foreign population had more than doubled.

At this time, Jennis, the others realized that the money they earned could not rise faster than the ticket price, the scalpers were too hateful, and the more people there were, the higher the ticket price in their hands would rise. At the end of the day, even the scalpers have no tickets in their hands, and if they want tickets, they can only find those fans to buy them.

It's just that fans rushed to Houston just to see the concert, how could they sell the tickets in their hands, unless there was a surplus, they didn't even think about it.

"What to do! Even with the money we have, we can't afford to buy a ticket. ”

Janis frowned, and she began to worry that she would not be able to see Alex's concert this time. The other three were also a little worried, and there was nothing they could do in the face of this situation.

In the end, Neuer came up with a solution, he said: "No matter what, we have tried our best, we can't see the concert this time, we can follow Alex and them and wait in the next city." I don't believe I can't buy a ticket like this! ”

Blanco asked, confused, "Aren't you going back to school?" ”

Neuer shrugged and said, "No matter, just take another week off." ”

Dugari nodded and agreed: "Then it's decided, I'll accompany you through this journey." At least until everyone watched the concert. ”

Everyone laughed and shouted, "Good! That's how it should be! ”

Temporary jobs have to be continued, and the street singing of Janis and Dugarry continues. After a few days of exercise, she is becoming more and more open when singing. It can be said that she is now singing as she likes, and sometimes she is still singing when she is out of tune.

Strangely, there were more people listening to her singing, and many passers-by would stop and listen for a while, no matter how hurried they were. Most of the time, those people will give some small money, cents and so on. Their income is increasing day by day.

"Hey! Jannis, you sing so well! I think you should go singing, and you will definitely become popular in the future! ”

During a break, Dugarry said this to her, encouraging the unattractive girl to follow the path of a singer. Even though he knew that the singer's appearance was important, he thought that Janis could leave it alone.

Because the songs that Jennis sings are so good that they can touch the hearts of the audience.

"I'm going to sing?"

Jennis had never thought of this idea, she had always felt that she was ugly. For her, singing was just a hobby and never treated as a profession.

"Yes, singing can earn money to support yourself, and you like to sing, so why not?"

Dugarry's words made Jennis ponder, she does like to sing, and at the moment, singing can indeed make money.

"But ......"

Jenniz felt that she was too ugly to become a singer even if she sang well. But she thought about it, it doesn't matter if she becomes a singer or not, as long as she likes it.

Regardless of whether they can buy tickets or not, they still work hard to make money. Every night when they have time, they gather outside the venue, hoping to buy tickets that have been missed by others.

Janis and Dugarry sang outside the venue, no matter whether anyone listened or not, and whether anyone gave money, they kept singing and singing loudly.

The fans who were waiting outside would sing along with them when they were bored, and more people would gather around them and listen quietly. The scene was like a grand carnival party, bustling and lively.

The dog, called Ugly, would sometimes crouch beside them, and sometimes run out of the alley to find something to eat. Usually Jennith feeds it, but not much, and it is not enough to feed it at all.

Backstage at the concert, Alex and the others were busy dressing and putting on makeup, making all kinds of preparations. Some people are closing their eyes to recuperate, some people are drinking water and eating, and when they come on stage, they have to sing and dance for two or three hours in a row, which is a very physically demanding thing.

"Hey! Where did a dog come from! ”

Suddenly, someone shouted, and everyone followed his finger and saw an ugly dog. At this time, many people have been alarmed, and the security guard is preparing to take something to drive the dog out of the city.

There are a lot of stray dogs in the city, and there are often rumors that someone who has been bitten by a dog has died of a rabies attack within a few days. The security guards have encountered stray dogs before, and they dare not take this kind of dog lightly at all, and must be handled carefully.

Alex also saw the dog, and he thought it was a little strange, because the dog didn't appear to be very manic, but quietly crouched in a dark corner, staring at a person who was eating.

"Wait! Don't move, that dog must be hungry, you can get something to eat for it, and it will be fine. ”

When a security guard heard Alex's words, he stopped and looked at the dog, who he also saw that the dog's focus was on the food.

It seems to be a hungry dog, but even if he is hungry, he doesn't grab food to eat, so he shouldn't be crazy.

Everyone had a certain guess in their hearts, but they didn't dare to act rashly, and the guy who was eating had an idea, tore off a chicken leg and threw it over.

"Come on, come on, this should be enough for you to eat!"

The ugly dog seemed to understand human speech, and waged his tail and lowered his head to nibble on the chicken legs. After seeing such a reaction, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The security guard also put down the stick in his hand, no longer so nervously guarded.

"What now, when it's finished, do you want to get out of the house?" The security guard asked Alex for instructions.

Alex looked at the dog, thought for a while, and said, "Don't worry, let's give it more things to eat, so that after it is full, it will not hurt people indiscriminately." ”

The security guard was right, a well-fed dog was certainly much safer than a hungry dog.

The concert went well, and a few hours later, Alex and the others stepped down from the stage. Back in the background, I find that the dog is gone.

"What about the dog?" Alex asked.

"When you're full, run away!" The security guard replied.

Ran away? That's fine, just run away.

It was a small episode, and Alex didn't take it to heart. Until the last day, he was too bored to stay in his lodgings. He decided to go out and go shopping, and after coming to Houston for so many days, he didn't even go out of Houston. He didn't even know what the streets looked like.

To be on the safe side, Alex decided to disguise himself before going out. Of course, he must bring a bodyguard, in this kind of unfamiliar place, if an accident happens, it will be finished without a bodyguard by his side.

He put on glasses, a beard, then a top hat, a suit, leather shoes, and so on. From the outside, he looks like a successful businessman, and if he is not a familiar person, there is no way to associate his current appearance with a popular singer.

"Alright! Let's go! ”

Alex waved his bodyguards to follow, and those bodyguards were not dressed in disguise, which made people know that they were very powerful.

Houston is the largest city in Texas and the fourth largest in the United States. It is also the largest economic center on the Gulf Coast and is very prosperous. Locals like to call it "Ushinuma City", or "H Town", "Foot Paw City", "Mongolian City", and so on.

It is also the home of Howard Hughes, and the Hughes family grew up in Houston. Later, Hughes also built his astronautics-related company in Houston, and built the city into what the city officially called "Space City".

In the past, when Alex watched American movies or TV series, when he saw a space theme, the astronauts in it would shout when they contacted people on Earth: "Houston, Houston, have you received it?" ”

Houston here refers to the U.S. Space Center built in Houston, where almost all space-related events in the United States take place.

Of course, Houston doesn't have anything to do with space right now. The U.S. aerospace industry has not yet developed. With the cooperation of Alex and Hughes, it is only developed in theory, and it takes a lot of money and time to put it into practice.

As for the money to develop the aerospace industry, this is simply not something that one or two private companies can sustain. There has to be a national force to intervene, and Americans today don't care about what space has to offer. It was only after the Soviet Union launched its first artificial satellite that the Americans woke up from their dreams and invested manpower and material resources in space research.

During this period, Mr. Hughes didn't seem to care much about the Interstellar Technology Company, and perhaps he also felt that the investment was too large and the output was too small.

In fact, this is only one reason, and the more important willingness is that Howard Hughes is also in trouble now. When he first bought Universal Company, he was short of funds, and borrowed too much debt in order to grow and expand, so that his current capital chain has some problems.
