Chapter 80: It's time to get started
Palm Avenue at Stanford University, Tommy looked at Dennis and Pam in front of him dumbfounded.
The reason why they were stunned was not that the two of them had plastic surgery or grew exaggerated Mimi, but that these two stupid* suddenly appeared in Stanford, California, and dressed up as a vacation:
"What are you doing here? I mean, can you make a phone call before you come, instead of standing on Stanford soil and then telling me? ”
Dennis took off his sunglasses and exaggerated wide-brimmed straw hat and looked at the Stanford University complex in the distance: "Brother, you said that you invited me to California * Mexican girl~ Have you forgotten?" ”
"That's right, I'm in California to see him*Mexican." Pam added from the side.
Tommy opened his mouth to look at the two of them, and then at the sacred college campus behind him, "But shouldn't the two of you be studying at Rhode Island Community College right now?" There are no holidays ...... now"
"Does the California sun have radiation that illuminates your brain? Can we ask such a retarded question? Tommy? Hearing Tommy's question, Dennis put the straw hat back on, and looked at Tommy with some concern, as if he was really shocked how his best friend could ask such a retarded question.
Pam also asked suspiciously, "Do I need to look at the public holiday schedule for such a thing as skipping classes in college?" ”
Tommy also came back to his senses: "No, of course not, it's just that I haven't skipped class with the two of you for too long and forgot how to skip class, that is, you two cross the whole of the United States, just for *Mexican?" ”
"No, I won't, I can't be sorry Carly, I'm just coming to see and I'm not ready to participate." Pam said, shaking his head.
Tommy looked at Pam suspiciously, "So, Carly played you badly?" You've been lying on top of her all the for the past year, except for the most basic activities to maintain your life? ”
"It's not funny, Tommy, there's nothing wrong with my club." Pam said to Tommy seriously, but then lowered his head a little depressedly:
"It's just that the club has some special markings now, if I ...... I do some exercise in California, and Carly will find out when I get back. ”
Tommy nodded understandingly, "Brother, your couple game with Carly sounds a bit brain-burning. ”
"So where's the Mexican?" Dennis said to Tommy.
Tommy thought for a moment, walked to the public telephone booth next to it, motioned for Dennis to take a few coins for himself, threw them in, and dialed the phone of his villa, and soon, the maid on the other side of the phone answered the phone:
"Hello, this is Mr. Tommy Hawke's mansion, how can I help you?"
"Dorothy, it's me, Tommy." Tommy said, holding the phone receiver.
"Mr. Hawke, what's the matter?"
"Uh...... Did Jason leave? ”
"No, Mr. White is holding a telephone in the front yard for a conference call, do you need me to get him to listen to the phone?"
"Very well, let his driver now drive to the school to pick up two of my friends who came to visit me, and then tell Jason the names Dennis and Pam and he knows who they are, although he has never met, he has heard the names of the two of them, let him entertain them for me for the time being, and I will rush back after the class."
"Yes, Mr. Hawke."
"Thank you, Dorothy."
Tommy hung up the phone, thought about it, and dialed Stephen Binn's pager number to leave a message: "Broad guy, Dennis and Pam are two stupid* to Stanford, they want to line up* you, so remember to contact me after class, after changing into **underwear, I will help you arrange a pick-up, that's all." ”
After that, Tommy looked at Dennis and Palm: "A red Lincoln Continental Mark VI will come here to pick you up and take you to my apartment, and I'll rush over with the big guy after school." ”
"You're saying you're going to class? Your best brother has come from far and wide to visit you, and instead of taking him to meet the California girls, you're going to leave them behind for class? Dennis said dissatisfied:
"Did the university teach you to be a fool?"
Tommy took out his cigarette and handed it to the two: "I have a guy named Jason White at my residence, he has the agent number of all the fancy entertainment companies in California, I'm different, I only know some cheap prostitutes who have changed careers." ”
"Very well, you can go." Hearing Tommy's words, Dennis took the cigarette and said simply: "If you're busy with school, it doesn't matter if you don't show up, just let that buddy named Jason White accompany us for a casual stroll." ”
"See you in the evening." Tommy took a few steps and walked back, looking at Dennis thoughtfully, who was a little uncomfortable stared at by Tommy: "What's wrong?" Aren't you going to class? ”
Tommy took out his lighter and lit the cigarette in his mouth: "How long are you and Pam going to stay in California?" ”
"It mostly depends on how many girls you have at the California Entertainment Company and how much money you have." Danny said frankly.
Tommy's face suddenly brightened, and he personally helped Dennis light a cigarette: "Very good, play for a while longer, the bills are all on me, by the way, what courses do you take at the community college?" ”
"Refrigeration Mechanical Engineering." Pam spoke.
Dennis thought for a moment before remembering what course he was studying: "I'm ...... Environmental resource management and pollution prevention. ”
"So, Pam graduated as an air-conditioning maintenance worker, and you went to a town in Rhode Island to get a job as a garbage station administrator, right?" Tommy heard the two of them answer, and deliberately exaggerated mocking.
"For Pam, yes, but I won't, don't jump to conclusions for me, Tommy, you know me, no one can dictate my life to Dennis Herbs." Dennis looked at Tommy dissatisfied, and even took two steps closer to Tommy, and spoke, but then nodded in frustration:
"Because I suspect that I'm just a garbage station administrator, my grades may not be as good as the rest of my classmates."
Tommy patted the other party on the shoulder and comforted: "Very good, play for a while longer, have fun, anyway, it doesn't matter if you get the sub-degree certificate or not, take it as a long vacation for yourself, I may need you to do me a favor during this time."
"No problem, is that the car?" Dennis asked Tommy, pointing to a red Lincoln sedan that appeared in the distance.
Tommy took a look, "That's right, I'm here to pick you up." ”
"Let's go to entertainment first, you take your time in class, I'll make an appointment with a few more girls."
Dennis said a few words and happily got into the luxury car with Pam as Jason's driver closed the door for the two of them, said hello to Tommy, and then drove them away.
"I also want them to help me in order not to make them air conditioner repairmen and garbage station managers, and I always can't see my friends in a difficult situation." Tommy looked at the luxury car in the distance, shook his head and said, "By the way, and Tony, why didn't I think of this before, every time Dennis and Pam appeared, they always gave me unexpected ideas." ”
Thinking of this, he walked to the phone booth again and dialed the phone: "Tony, I'm Tommy, I suddenly remembered something, are you interested in driving a slightly larger vehicle than a Corvette C4 or a Warwick fishing boat?" ”
"What do you want to say, Tommy? Do you want me to be a truck driver, to help you deliver goods or something? Just tell me directly, if you need me, just say it, I won't refuse you, brother. On the other side of the phone, Tony was a little surprised to receive a call from Tommy.
Tommy laughed: "I mean, maybe you want to drive a cruiser or a frigate?" ”
"I'm not going to join the army, didn't you see the Soviet exercises of '82 on TV? It is said that the president and everyone in the military were scared to wet their pants, and during the Soviet exercises, sales of adult diapers in the United States broke through record highs. Tony said with a smile.
Tommy looked at the palm trees in the distance and whispered, "No, of course I'm not trying to persuade you to participate, I mean, I might have a way to send you to the U.S. Naval Academy, I need my own people for my business, and I thought of you when the two bastards, Dennis and Pham, came to see me, and I wanted to sell them." ”
"What are you kidding? Tommy, think about how much effort you put into going to college in the first place, we all see it, college is not an easy task, I ......" Tony on the other side of the phone has even begun to wonder if Tommy is too big and talking nonsense.
He watched Tommy's process of going to college, frantically reviewing his homework, and trying to make money by himself, and getting all kinds of programs and so on, but now he said to himself that he wanted to go to college? It's as easy as letting yourself go to a bar for a drink.
Tommy exhaled: "Tony, you have to know that when a person is rich, it is a trivial matter to let his relatives go to college, because I can easily get your test-free recommendation letter, rich people go to college and poor people go to college are two different concepts, Tony, let's put it this way, if I were still that poor ghost Tommy, I can't do anything about you Koko getting A, but now that I have money, you Koko is all D, and I can send you to the university I want you to study." ”
"Why don't you tell me what business you want me to help you do? Go to the Naval Academy to sell your software or books? Tony was so confused that he didn't even understand why his brother had suddenly remembered to let him go to college.
As long as he continues to improve his repair experience through various modified cars, Tony even thinks that he can open his own car repair shop or modified garage before the age of thirty.
Tommy could also understand his brother's confusion, so he said, "No, why don't you take Ashley to California for a while, I'll talk to you slowly, if you're not interested, you should come on vacation, but you are not allowed to take Bethea and let her concentrate on studying." ”
"You just need to tell me if you need me right now." Tony hesitated and asked.
Tommy paused for two seconds before replying, "I need your help, brother." ”
"Very good, brother, wait for me, I'll go see the ticket now, that's all." After Tony finished on the other side of the phone, he simply hung up.
"That's the good thing about having an Italian brother." Tommy put down the phone, looked into the bright sunshine, and deftly quoted a Bible in his mouth:
"If you don't bring the season, you can't see me."
Familiarizing himself with the Bible was a preparation for his attempts to become a believer in God at the university, when he even considered infiltrating the theological departments of Catholic universities, but now it seems that while the Bible has not helped computer science majors, it has at least taught him that the way to spread doctrine and the means of doing business can be a perfect combination.
……
In Tommy's villa, in the outdoor pool, six or seven beautiful girls are holding a small party with Jason, Dennis and Pam .
Jason's work at EFF is not busy, and at the moment it is mainly working with SSD alumnus Benjamin Rosen and obediently listening to Mr. Rosen.
It's not that Jason wants to be lazy, it's mainly that Tommy once shamelessly told him that he doesn't have to do anything, just learn from Benjamin Rosen's side, ask him all questions, listen to his opinions, see how he handles it, and then absorb it thoroughly, can't let the old guy use 10 million shares of the actor company like picking up money, and don't have to do anything, he must be busy, learn all his business methods and thinking, don't treat Mr. Rosen as a human being, but as a cow, Let Jason squeeze his milk like crazy.
Of course, Jason also has to admit that he did learn more about Benjamin than he did in school, such as how to divide the founders of a small company when he tries to invest in it and the other party doesn't want to.
Help the founder of the small company who opposes investment but controls the right to speak to create some scandals or troubles, and then release all kinds of fake news, in short, forcing him to not show his face, the company is panicked, and finally the pressure is too great, and if it is shaken, it will split, either the management of the company will be handed over to the founders who support investment, or someone will lead the technical team to get the money to start a new company.
In short, it was an eye-opener for Jason and a great benefit.
"He said you wanted to play here a little longer?" Jason took a sip of juice, and when he heard Dennis, who was enjoying a massage from a beautiful girl, talk about Tommy's generosity in letting the two of them stay in California for a while longer, he spit out the juice and turned his head to look at Dennis:
"How is this possible?"
"Of course, Jason, Tommy's friendship with the two of us is unquestionable." Dennis responded, leaning back on the recliner, "Tommy is not a stingy person. ”
Jason looked at Dennis and Pam who had bought all the markers on the market with a look of "how could anyone believe Tommy's stupid*" look, and then concentrated on mixing the colors of the markers:
"He may not be stingy in Warwick, but in California, I guess you don't know enough about him, with all due respect, did he ask you to sign some blank paper or something like that, or would you like you to do me a favor or something?"
Dennis said: "I'm not impressed. ”
Tommy said he hoped we could do him a small favor." Pam didn't look up at the color of the marker on the paper and said.
Jason nodded suddenly: "Friends, I'm so happy to know you, as Tommy's former roommate, my most sincere advice to the two is...... Now get dressed and run to the airport to buy the fastest flight home. ”
"You're going to dominate these babes? Don't do that, Jason. Dennis looked up at Jason, "We're not going to be jealous because you've slept with Tommy, you can just go ahead and sleep with him." ”
Jason recalled his experience, brewed his emotions for a while, and then said with some embarrassment:
"There's a tragic story about a guy who seduced his best friend with a beautiful woman, and when his good friend was in a mood because of the beauty, the bastard asked him, 'Hey, good brother, can you promise me one thing?' His good friend said, "Okay, brother, of course it's fine, we're brothers." ”
"What's so tragic about this story?" Dennis frowned: "That good brother can't get up in front of a beautiful woman?" ”
Pam gave a different opinion: "No, no, no, I think it's probably that he's locked, and when a beautiful woman teases him, the feeling of being locked up is very uncomfortable." ”
"Brother, what the happened to you when you were in love with Carly...... The girls from St. Vincent are playing so wild? Dennis asked in shock as he looked at Pam when he heard Pam's words.
Seeing the casual appearance of the two, Jason said with some excitement:
"It's a pleasure to get along with a beautiful woman, and it's tragic that I promised each other one thing, understand? Got it? That's the point, won't you two summarize the point of the story by yourself when you listen to the story? I mean, don't make a deal with the devil easily, that bastard seduced the poor friend with a beautiful woman and made a completely unequal and unfair deal. ”
"If we get a perfect score in reading and writing, we won't be your turn to be Tommy's roommate, Jason." Dennis said.
Jason spat out a cloudy breath: "That bastard used me in the same way, you know?" That's why I advise you to get out of here, Now! If you don't want to be a little movie actor. ”
"Actors?" Dennis and Pam both sat up when they heard Jason's words, and their eyes sparkled at him, "You mean, we can be the kind of little movie actors we see on TV?" ”
Pam even ruffled his hair and pointed to his height glasses and asked Jason, "Is it okay to be highly myopic?" ”
Seeing the reaction of the two, Jason was a little dazed, and he looked at the two of them for a while before saying, "Guys, it's not a Hollywood movie, understand?" It's the stripping ......"
"That's what I'm asking about this kind of little movie, what do you think? I'm asking you now, so Tommy can make us all sorts of pretty women and make money, right? Dennis also looked back at Jason with some puzzlement, not understanding why the other party told him that it was not a Hollywood movie, and that there was nothing good about a Hollywood movie without taking off his clothes.
Jason nodded speechlessly: "Strictly speaking...... That's right. ”
"What's so tragic about this, isn't this time to celebrate with champagne? Miss, bring me a glass of champagne and my dad will be able to see me on TV! The first great person of the Herbs family to appear on television! The whole world wants to feel the visual stimulation brought by my brother's ***! ”
Jason saw Dennis excitedly urging the woman next to him to pour champagne for him to celebrate, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble, and asked Pam:
"Are you sure it's from Warwick in the United States, not Warwick in France? I've only heard before that the French can be indifferent to face for the sake of a woman. ”
"I don't care which country Warwick belongs to, I only care about whether I can be an actor with high myopia?" Pam asked, staring at Jason.
This rhetorical question left Jason completely speechless: "Now I understand that Tommy's bastard's shamelessness is not innate, but comes from regional characteristics." ”
At this time, there was a loud roar outside, and as the door was opened, a fiery red Ferrari sports car drove in from the outside, the door opened, and Stephen Beam stepped out of the driver's seat, seeing Dennis and Pam, Stephen excitedly lifted his cuffs and showed the CSLS tattoo on his wrist to the two:
"Look who's coming! It turned out to be a wild boar and a blind man from the CS gang! Long time no see! Finally remembered the poor Stephen who came to California to visit the prison? ”
Dennis and Pam also greeted Stephen and hugged him: "Long time no see, big guy!" ”
"Where's Tommy?" After hugging, seeing that there was no one above the co-pilot, Dennis asked, "Didn't he say he would come back with you?" ”
"He's going to interview the driver, don't worry, we can have fun without him, send these girls away, my driver is driving a business car over, take us to the airport, and then fly to Los Angeles, I chartered a nightclub in Los Angeles to help you pick up the wind, about 120 girls, enough for Tommy's guy to stay here and beat his chest, regret it." Stephen spoke.
Hearing Stephen's words, Jason immediately dropped his wine glass and stood up: "Guys, I have a question, can you CS help me apply to join, or haven't you considered kicking a scum like Tommy out of the organization and then inviting better men to join?" One hundred and twenty girls, Shit, each of you will have to deal with four in one night, and it will take ten days for you to sleep all of them......"
He looked at the beautiful girls he had called, and then looked at Stephen: "I am willing to pay for the plane ticket myself and provide you with this kind of heavy physical help for free." ”
……
Scars & Rivets Bar, the name of this bar sounds punk, in fact, the interior decoration style is the same, it is full of large steel plates, exaggerated screws, rivets, various pipes of different thicknesses and lengths, rusty valves, and the smoke from the smoke, the moment you walk in, it makes people feel like they are back in the age of steam.
This is a bikini bar where many programmers in Silicon Valley would like to come and relax.
Yes, the barmaids here will be wearing all kinds of sparse bikinis and shuttling through the halls, of course, to make her ignore your groping, you need to buy enough drinks, or you will wait for her to greet the whole family, and then be thrown out by the collar by the security guard.
At this point, Tommy fiddled with the large beer mug in his hand, moved it from left hand to right hand side, from right hand to left hand side, looked at the two people sitting opposite him at this time, and then turned his face to look at Sophia:
"My dear Sophia, are you sure you understand my needs? One is 15 yuan per hour, and the other is 50 yuan per hour, how should I understand it? You understand half of it, and then you also finish half of it? This big man like a brown bear, 50 yuan an hour is obviously genuine, except that the price is too high, there are no drawbacks, but ......"
"Tommy, the older one is only 50 dollars an hour, and the big one is 15 dollars an hour." Sophia reminded Tommy.
Opposite the two at this moment, there are two white men, one is young, one is vicissitudes, one has thick hair, one is bald, one is tall and strong, one is one meter nine, and the other looks a little shorter than Sophia, who is one meter seven.
"You, fifteen dollars an hour?" When Tommy heard Sophia's words, he couldn't help but ask the young strong man with his arms crossed, "Fifteen pieces?" I only have to pay you one hundred and twenty dollars for eight hours? ”
"Yes, sir."
"What do you call it?"
"George Wright, sir."
"Very well, congratulations, Mr. Wright, you've got the job." Tommy reached out and shook the other man's hand, then looked at the old guy next to him, although the top of his head was bare, but the stubble on his chin was growing savagely:
"And you, old gentleman, are you paid more for an hour than he is paid for three hours?"
"That's exactly how Brink Security is priced, that's it." The old man nodded with a smile and said.
Founded in 1859, Brink Security has grown from the very beginnings of personnel security to a provider of security and transportation services for banks, mining companies, retailers, governments, mints, jewelers and the military.
Many people may have the same question as Tommy, that is, what does the military need to be safeguarded, a question that has plagued American taxpayers for decades without answering.
This company is responsible for the transportation of many US military bases, and the newspapers have ridiculed this as a naked power-for-money deal, and the US military, which claims to be the world's most powerful armed force, needs to hire a special security company to help them transport doughnuts and chocolates.
In the U.S., you don't know how many transit warehouses Brink owns, how much of the employer's money or gold they put in them, you just need to know that when you see a sign with Brink's name on the road, it's best to stop and don't move on, or they'll not only call the police, but you'll also be the protagonist of a game called "Guess how many shots you shoot to scare that stupid*".
Brink and Pinkerton have been friends for more than 100 years, and they have helped mining tycoons in Pennsylvania to frame and shoot how many coal miners they have killed.
The basic way of cooperation is probably that Brink Security Company deliberately has a security flaw, and then releases news to lure the miners who have been deducted from the coal mining company's salary to steal or rob, once they do it, Pinkerton will immediately appear as a messenger of justice, kill first and then arrest, kill those leaders and backbones who must die, and leave a few scared and completely unaware miners to hand over to the court, so that the mining tycoons not only do not have to pay the salaries of these disobedient people, It can even make the participating miners compensate for their losses in an open manner.
Why is there a loss? Because this kind of case is often caught, but the property is always not found, the powerful Pinkerton firm can not find the tycoon's robbed property, there is no way, but the loss can only be calculated on the workers, but rest assured, the workers' houses, carriages and even wives, daughters, and sons will be arranged properly, and the security is generally provided by Brink, after all, the court will award those to the mining tycoons to compensate for the losses.
Brink Security and Detective Pinkerton, the best hawk-dog combination in the minds of the American government and capitalists.
"What do you call it, sir?" Tommy asked, looking at the old guy across from him, who looked older than his father.
The other party was stuffing tobacco into his pipe, and at this time he struck a match and lit his pipe, and looked at Tommy: "Paige, Lot-Page." ”
The young one is called George, and the old one is called Peppa? Tommy thinks the names of these two guys are familiar, but he immediately realizes that they are the names of the protagonists of a cartoon.
"Listen, Mr. Page, I don't believe in the that the older you get, the more valuable you are." Tommy looked at the old guy in front of him, who was older than his father:
"Because of the high-end girl industry I am familiar with, if I am over twenty-eight years old, I don't want to be once, and I can still get a high price of 400 yuan."
"In fact...... Mr. Hawke ......: "The young man who had just been offered the job because of the low fee heard that Tommy was not very satisfied with the price of Lott Page, and spoke beside him, and when he saw Tommy looking at him, he seriously continued:
"Mr. Page is worth the price, he's been a soldier, he's been on the battlefield, he's got all kinds of experience......"
"So I'm going to hire him to help me assassinate the leader of the Soviet Union, Konstantin Chernenko?" Tommy looked at the little pig brother in confusion and asked rhetorically.
Lot-Page patted his companion on the shoulder: "Forget it, George, this gentleman just needs a driver, you stay and talk to him, I'll go outside to breathe." ”
"Yes, sir, you are right!" Tommy nodded in satisfaction: "I just need a bluffing-looking driver and bodyguard to scare the blacks, because I'm probably going to have a lot of time to deal with the blacks afterward, I mean......"
George was obviously a little unwilling, and continued to recommend the old guy: "Mr. Page is the right person, he was sentenced to five years of probation and 600 hours of community service for killing seven black people, and the black people in Long Beach, Los Angeles, will subconsciously kneel down and raise their hands when they meet him. ”
Tommy looked at the old guy who stood up with his pipe in his mouth and was about to take off the coat on the back of his chair and leave: "I think I probably know who you are, the Long Beach Sheriff who got the judges fighting because of his sentencing in '78?" ”
"yes, it's no good to be too well-known, you're always turned away from looking for a job, and I know that people are more tolerant of blacks now, and they don't want to be involved with someone like me." The old guy looked at Tommy, "I understand, sir." ”
Tommy looked at each other playfully: "Everyone needs a chance to mend their ways, and I'm willing to give them that chance, so if you go back to '79, would you still do this kind of thing?" ”
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, the answer is that I'm still going to kill those mongrels." Lott Page had his coat in his hand and turned to walk outside.
"Good, you've been hired, but there's a small problem." Tommy's words made Lott Page stand in place, and then Tommy turned his head to look at Sophia beside him:
"I'll pay George's fees myself, but Mr. Page's fees are on Holly or Mark's, and if they don't object, the two of them will be able to get to work."
Eight thousand words, sorry, the update was too late, I'm very sorry, I'll try to revert to the daytime update tomorrow.
