Chapter 8: Reasons for Leaning towards the White Robe Society

"I feel like I'm walking with you on the way to the brothel, Stephen." At night, Tommy and Stephen leaned against a lamppost on Stanford Greek Avenue, like two idle young drunkards, carrying two Miss Pink energy drinks.

This thing is actually a genuine alcohol product, the main ingredients in it are caffeine, taurine, guarana and absinthe alcohol, the packaging is pink, so it is nicknamed Miss Pink, minors and college students do not need any restrictions, this so-called energy drink can be purchased in the supermarket.

Whether or not energy drinks contain alcohol and caffeine is legal depends on who owns the product, Molson Cornson Brewing Company, the largest liquor company in the United States and Canada.

Let's put it this way, in 80 years when this drink was produced and put on the market, some parents of students complained that their children were infected with alcoholism because of this product, but now three years later, this product still has no impact on normal sales, mainly because Molson Kangsheng hired a large number of former senior government officials to serve as directors of its own numerous subsidiaries and hired countless lobbying companies for public relations.

Stanford University stipulates that students can't drink alcohol in public, but there is no rule that they can't drink energy drinks, so many college students who can't get beer and want to drink and walk along the street will buy a pink lady, although the alcohol content is a little low, but it is better than holding a can of juice drink to look like an adult.

"That's our brothel." Stephen pointed to a two-story building with the word ZDB on it and a Roman-style doorpost not far away, and said with a smile: "ZDB, everyone is used to calling them Betty Society, the best sorority in Stanford, our VSA fraternity organization, the selection for membership is much more complicated than that of us boys, height, hair color, pupil color, bloodline, clothing, sexual experience, family background...... Except for a few naturally ugly girls in the families of high-ranking government officials, all the rest are qualified to participate in the Miss Universe pageant, each of them can be noble on the outside and dissolute on the inside, and it is said that they will also exchange skills in internal meetings, you know, that kind of skill. ”

Stephen's words made Tommy Hawke quite fascinated in his heart, you know, such a traditional sorority that selects members and cultivates bedmates for the fraternity is rare in 2022.

Although there are still sororities in 2022, unlike the fraternity that rarely changes the admission criteria, the sorority is more in line with the development of the times, first starting to aesthetic diversity, and then the culture of ugliness, of course, it may also be that Tommy's Asian fraternity at that time ranked average in the school, and the quality of the fraternity was so-so, but the vast majority of sororities are unlikely to screen newcomers according to the criteria that Stephen said at this time, otherwise they will be complained to the university by freshmen, maybe a few big hats will be buttoned down, and the sorority will be closed directly.

"As for the BDP of the White Robe Society, it is called the Blonde Society, and the screening conditions are much worse than the Betty Society, and it can only be regarded as the sister with the most blonde girls at Stanford University." Stephen added with a smile as he saw Tommy's eyes burning as he looked at the Betty House.

Tommy retracted his gaze, looked at Stephen, and said with a smile: "Actually, I made a freshman party, just to attract the attention of the Order of the Phoenix or the White Robe Society, these two fraternities I wanted to join before I reported it, but after I finished the report and learned some information in more detail, I am more inclined to the White Robe Society at this moment." ”

“Why? Do you wish you were wearing the white robes of the White Klan Society? Brother, you will lose the friendship of Prime Minister Madouf and all the black people in St. Vincent, those bastards do not know how to treat black friends equally. Stephen listened to Tommy's intentions and looked unacceptable.

In his opinion, Tommy Hawke will undoubtedly join VSA with him, firstly because of his friendship, and secondly, because VSA is more enlightened and gentlemanly, and those stupid* people in the White Robe Society can't wait to engrave the words "I am white" directly on their faces, and those bastards regard the executioners who invaded Vietnam, defended the Vietnamese monarchy, and hindered Vietnam's democratization as heroes, and raise donations for those blood-stained war criminals every year.

Tommy lowered his head, as if trying to figure out how to explain it to his friend.

But this question is difficult, he can't tell Stephen that he is from 2022, and he found out that there is a billionaire named Ross Perrault on the alumni roster of the Brotherhood of the White Robe Society.

In a sense, he is an American business idol that Tommy admires very much, and he read that guy's autobiography in his last life, whether in business or politics, Ross Perrault has achieved a blockbuster.

When he was in politics, in 1992, he ran for the presidency of the United States on the same stage with Bush Sr. and Clinton, and suddenly rose to prominence under the siege of the donkey and elephant parties, winning 18.9 percent of the votes, becoming the non-bipartisan person who won the highest percentage of votes since the founding of the United States.

After retiring from the Navy in 1957, he joined IBM and became the sales champion of IBM on the West Coast in one year, and completed the annual personal sales target set by the company for him in only two weeks, which once made IBM headquarters think that the sales data handed in by the West Coast branch was wrong.

In 1962, he left IBM and founded EDS, which went public in 1968, and within three days, the stock price of EDS rose from $16 to $165 per share, and appeared on the cover of Fortune magazine, which was called the fastest and richest Texan.

The internal network of Boston University, where Tommy studied in his last life, was responsible for Ross Perrault's EDS company, from the construction to the maintenance of hardware and software, and EDS's customers were not only Boston University, but also many large corporations, banks and government agencies.

If Tommy really decides to start a business and design a good piece of software, he would prefer to get his proposal to the office of Ross Perrault, who is the quintessential pragmatist, and Tommy who also believes in pragmatism and has the same view of the world, and may be easier to communicate.

This guy has no faction in his eyes, no position, as long as he thinks it will help me, then it will be used by me, when he founded EDS in the sixties, the United States was hostile to China, and Ross Perrault also lacked a good opinion of China, but when the company distributed the English version of Mao Xuan for free for employees to study seriously, and was criticized by his opponents for possible support for China, Rose's reaction in an interview was:

"China's existence is indeed a threat to the United States, but this book is not, but a tool for me to learn to think in another way, those who criticize me have no idea what is happening in the world, they haven't even read this book, just because the author is Chinese, they feel that they have found a reason to criticize me, thinking that it can make me feel a headache for this, but in fact, this trick hits me without pain, and they will only powerlessly wait to be completely eliminated by the constantly absorbing nutrients and gradually evolving me, my greatest pleasure in business, It is to eliminate this kind of low-level businessman who lacks pattern and vision for the United States. ”

Compared with Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, IT tycoons, Ross Perrault's net worth may be much worse, but the main reason is that guy doesn't want to waste his life on making money at all, what he always wants to do from beginning to end is to change the United States, but changing the United States needs money, so he went to make money by the way, in fact, he was also an angel investor of Jobs.

And the influence among lower-middle-class Americans, the two IT tycoons above are not convincing compared to Ross Perrault, so let's put the names of these three people on a piece of paper and let Tommy's dad and his co-workers identify them, and 100% of the uneducated workers can recognize Ross Perrault's name, and then they can also tell each other's legendary experiences.

The lower the Americans, the more they yearn for heroes in this world, and Ross Perrault is a hero for many Americans.

In 1978, the Iranian government imprisoned two senior officials of EDS's Iranian branch for bribing government officials, and issued a sky-high bail of $12.75 million for one person.

At that time, Iran had not yet revolutionized and had good relations with the United States, which meant that Ross Perrault's company took money to pay bail, anyway, the two did pay bribes to Iranian officials for the company's business, and after bail, the embassy could help send people back to the United States.

However, instead of paying bail to Iran, it hired Arthur Simmons, a retired US Army Special Forces Colonel Commander, as the commander, formed a rescue team composed of seven retired American Special Forces elites, and set up an Iranian Ministry of Justice prison in Texas, USA, to conduct combat simulations, formulate detailed combat plans, and prepare for armed rescue.

And what really makes Ross Perrault considered a hero by countless Americans is that he did not hide in the United States, but chose to follow the rescue team deep into Iran when the rescue team set off, just to rescue two of his employees.

After a lot of hardship, the rescue team successfully rescued two employees, broke through the Iranian border with them, and arrived in Turkey, and all the employees of Iranian EDS branches were evacuated from Iran at the same time.

In an interview afterwards, Ross Perrault said that I would not abandon my EDS companions no matter what, and I would not give a penny to the bastards who tried to blackmail me.

This made Ross Perrault and his EDS famous.

Every American hopes that their boss can be like Ross Perrault, never abandon him, but this idea is tantamount to a fool's dream, so they like not to give up their own employees Ross Perrault, American TV stations, newspapers, and novels have all reported on this rescue operation, and the film and television industry is also preparing to put him on the screen in the past two years.

"Ross Perrault, he's a member of the White Coat Society, and I hope to have the opportunity to meet each other at the Brotherhood's events for the next four years, and help my father get an autographed photo with him as a gift, and my father idolizes him." Tommy pondered for a few seconds, and finally came up with a barely plausible reason.

It is normal for a boy at the bottom of a small town to worship an American-style hero praised by his parents, but these words are likely to make Stephen realize that he is different from himself, after all, because there are quite a few upper-class people and politicians in the United States, they do not think that Ross Perrault is a hero, but a hypocrite who sells his reputation, he doesn't want to spend money on high bail at all, after all, it is cheaper to find mercenaries to save people, that guy just seized the opportunity and successfully helped himself complete an image advertising campaign.

Sure enough, hearing Tommy's answer, Stephen sighed: "To be honest, sometimes I forget that you are from the countryside of Warwick, and I also forget that you are different from me, you have relatives who put family first, and I only have relatives who are indifferent, and my son always wants to be praised by his father, right?" ”

"Don't be too pessimistic, if the SSD guys don't pick me, you're going to lend a hand and make sure I can join a fraternity, bubble girl, and drink." Tommy held up the bottle, touched it and said with a smile.

Stephen poured a sip into his mouth, a little lost: "I'm starting to look forward to those stupid* letting you lose the election now, but I don't think there's much hope, especially the stupid* of the White Robe Club sees me bringing VSA's housing manager to see you, as long as he doesn't shoot his brain out when he sleeps with a girl, he should understand that he should immediately go to find more detailed information about you, hey, whether it's the White Robe Club or the Phoenix Society, it doesn't affect the relationship between the two of us CSLS, right?" ”

"It's hard to say, brother." Tommy grimaced and said in a light tone.

Stephen was stunned for a moment, looked at Tommy, and the next second Tommy laughed and pointed in the direction of the Betty Society: "Unless you join the White Robe Society, you are not going to introduce those girls to me." ”

"Actually, I have a better introduction to you, I'm going to Los Angeles next month, do you want to come with me? There was a drinking party held by a Hollywood production company, and the finance company that helped me take care of the money received two invitations from the other party, and there were just two of them, and the other party wanted me to take some money out to invest in movies, and it was said that there would be some young actresses who were very open-minded. Stephen breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Tommy mysteriously.

Tommy looked at Stephen with a bright smile, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Hollywood is said to be very open, but your best choice is not to waste a place to take me to the world, but to bring your professional investment manager, and he will deal with the other party for you. ”

Although women's equality has been shouted in the United States for many years, in a place like Hollywood, actresses are just male vassals and company resources, from Shirley Temple, Marilyn Monroe, to now well-known Hollywood actresses, if you want to become a Hollywood movie star, you must first learn to become a Hollywood prostitute.

Even if Tommy lives in Warwick, he has seen lace news about various Hollywood actresses and various rich people or high-ranking officials in newspapers and TV, in fact, after a little analysis, it will be clear that it is a bullshit relationship or ordinary chat, that is, Hollywood Italians and Jews simply send various actresses as prostitutes to those people for exchange of interests, even Americans have been numb to this kind of thing, after all, even the Kennedy brothers and Marilyn Monroe have seen this kind of lace news, No matter how exciting the other lace news is, it is nothing.

Respect for women? In male-dominated Hollywood, actresses are synonymous with high-class call girls.

Stephen is a young man with a lot of money, in case there is really a film company that treats him as a fat sheep and arranges a few actresses to entangle him, this guy has a bit of a gentlemanly spirit, and is likely to impulsively take out a sum of money for film investment, but the result is often not too good, generally speaking, waiting for the money to go down the drain.

It's not that the movie doesn't have a chance to be a big hit, but if you are a layman and have no intention of long-term cooperation in the film industry, the other party will naturally slaughter you, after all, although your own actress is a prostitute, she can't sleep in vain.

The other party obviously invested your money in a blockbuster film, but will lie and tell you that the money has been invested in another money-losing work, and there is no return, if you want to return to the capital, continue to invest out, and have a better script that is ready to start, or simply write two movies when pulling laymen to invest, so that even if one is a hit, the other is still far away, and you want to pay dividends? Just wait slowly.

There are countless ways that Hollywood Jews want to cheat investors out of their money.

That's why Tommy told Stephen not to waste his place to accompany him to open his eyes, but to bring a professional investment manager, and not to blindly give promises after a few glasses of wine.

Seeing Tommy's serious expression, Stephen nodded: "If you don't go, then I can only call my investment manager, let's go, change the subject, take me to your dormitory, poor ghost, get some real alcohol out, I know you must have stock." ”

Tommy was relieved to hear that the other party was willing to listen to his opinion, and the two walked side by side towards Hope's apartment in the night.
