After Jason received a call from Tommy informing him that Charles was coming, he hurried to push open the door of the conference room, only to be hugged by Ted and Tommy who were hiding behind the door, and then, Charles, who was still sitting at the conference table just now, stood up with his suit in his suit, moved his palms, and finally put his middle and index fingers together and stabbed Jason hard at the buttocks that were pressed on the table:

"Long live Sparta!"

The entire WinStar company is said to have heard a beast-like wail that day.

and Ted, who I haven't seen for a long time, after Charl laughed and talked about the old days, Jason dragged the numb half of his ass and sat next to Tommy, looking at Tommy, Tommy nodded slightly, and got Tommy's signal, Jason then looked at Charles, who was sitting opposite, and said with a straight face: "No matter what you want to talk about, Tommy doesn't know anything, whether it's AmigaOS or some recent public relations activities about Stanford, if you want to know, ask me, I'm the boss." ”

"Are you sure?" Charles looked at Jason, raised his left index finger and middle finger and shook it at him, and asked with a smile.

Jason shrugged, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Just as sure your four fingers know my anal temperature, Charles." ”

"OK, so it's actually May, when Gorbachev and his wife, Raisa Gorbacheva, visit the United States, and we have a special meeting with his wife on an independent itinerary, and you come and talk to her, right?" Charles looked at Jason and said.

Jason was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Tommy, lowered his voice and said uncertainly, "Didn't you say that you got some kind of public relations about AmigaOS when the Soviets came to Stanford?" ”

"It did, Professor Condoleezza did it, and Dennis helped a lot." Tommy said to Jason.

Jason frowned: "Then why the Charles said he wanted me to go chat with Gorbachev's wife?" Haven't you seen Hollywood movies about the Soviet Union? The KGB can do anything, and I don't want to get involved in some weird espionage affair, and I don't want to have an affair with the wife of the president of the Soviet Union and be killed by a KGB agent who can crawl out of the sewers, vents, or even shoes. ”

"Jason, you're going in a weird direction." Tommy said helplessly.

Jason picked up the cigarette and lowered his head to light one, then looked up at Charles, and changed his tone again: "You come to collect the benefits, right?" I don't understand, your father-in-law and the president don't have a salary to receive? Always looking for an opportunity to take advantage of us small business people! We've done Dennis a big deal, and he seems to have done the president a small favor, and I thought you were here to show that the president was giving us a good reciprocat. ”

"That's right." Tommy nodded in relief.

Charles opened his hands and responded to Jason with an innocent look: "That's just the ticket, now it's about business, Gorbachev is mainly in Stanford to visit the infrastructure of Stanford University, to give a speech to American politicians on the West Coast about the politics and cooperation of the two countries and the like, and then to move on to the next place, he has a very full schedule in the United States from late May to the first week of June, and it is unlikely that the advertising salesman will find much time to sell him products." ”

Gorbachev's visit was because the United States wanted to show Gorbachev goodwill and values, and wanted to convey the idea that even if the Soviet Union now seems to have problems in some member countries, the United States absolutely does not want to see the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Of course, it's not wrong to say that, the disintegration that the United States wants to see is the complete cessation of the entire huge country, the unleashing of national hatred, and the outbreak of war between those Soviet member states, because that disintegration, no matter what reason the United States chooses to access, is the real talker, but now, although the various countries of the Soviet Union seem to be clamoring for independence, no matter the army, factories, intelligence agencies are still working normally, if the Soviet Union peacefully disintegrates with order, That is definitely not the best answer that the United States would like to see.

That's why the United States invited Gorbachev to visit the United States, to support him to resist the pressure, to amplify a little more freedom as much as possible, and if he needs to, Mr. President does not mind visiting those member countries to help Gorbachev stand up.

Wait until the United States is sure that it is ready to fully intervene and has the ability to unleash a sufficiently strong wave of anti-Soviet democracy in the major Soviet Union countries before going for a freer disintegration.

At this time, the Secretary of State has personally flown to Moscow to discuss with the other party the details of the itinerary of this visit, and after the other party arrives, he will bring out all the beautiful things born in the United States based on the liberal system for the other party to appreciate, so that he can see the smiling faces of Americans everywhere he goes, and let him feel that the free world is ready to accept the Soviet Union.

"So we're going to talk to his wife about business?" Jason spat out a puff of smoke: "How to talk?" How about I ask her to be vice chairman? ”

Charles said with a smile: "Compared with Gorbachev, his wife Raisa is obviously a more suitable partner for business, born in the Soviet Union, as the first lady of the Soviet Union, but eager to have the same high-profile and freedom as the first lady of the United States, in fact, she also did this, life is very extravagant and extravagant, before visiting London, the first lady of the Soviet Union bought luxury goods worth more than 100,000 pounds in Harrow Department Store, and wore it the next day, not caring about being photographed by the camera at all, The first ladies of the Soviet Union were like her maids, and if she wanted to, she could call the first ladies of Ukraine or Romania at three o'clock in the middle of the night, call each other up, and chat with high-level encrypted direct phone calls, just to let the other party help her analyze which dress was more beautiful. ”

"She's on a loose schedule while she's in the U.S., right?" Tommy sighed and asked Charles.

Charles didn't nod, just looked at Tommy with a smile in his eyes: "It depends on the situation, it can be very lenient or the other way around." ”

"For example?"

"We're thinking that, judging from the date, we can complete a ceremony where the first ladies of the United States and the Soviet Union attend the graduation ceremony of a certain university's women's college at the same time, give speeches, and then there will be a representative of the university in the next four hours, talking with the two first ladies about the status and development of women in modern society, I think you will be interested, that's four hours, four hours without interruption."

Tommy nodded: "Well, if I want to be a cowherd who serves two old women with his mouth for four hours, what is the price?" ”

"AmigOS has some interests in Europe and the Soviet Union, I mean, if you agree, Ms. Barbara Bush is willing to continue to help WinStar push forward some of the projects in Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union outside of four hours, very willingly."

"That thing hasn't hit the market yet, who told her it was going to make money?" Jason interjected dissatisfiedly next to him.

Charles looked at Jason and lightly tapped the brooch on his suit with his finger: "I, I said to her, it doesn't matter if it's making money or not, anyway, the money-burning stage has been completed, and we can't miss the money-making stage, it's nothing more than the difference between earning more and earning less." ”

"Why don't you have the president and his wife send a team of movers to bring everything home here, Charles."

Charles took a sip of coffee and said in a relaxed tone: "If you can really decide everything as you just boasted, you can say no to me, Jason, as far as I know, Microsoft is very interested, if it wasn't for the previous Murdoch Group that made them feel happy to cooperate, I wouldn't be here." ”

"Tommy, how do we do it? This is a bit of a departure from our previous internal discussions. Jason didn't care about pretending to be the boss who could decide everything in front of Charles, and turned his head to look at Tommy next to him.

"KeyBank and the Peace Corps, you didn't mention it, did you?" Tommy rubbed his face vigorously and looked at Charles.

Charles nodded slightly: "Of course." ”

"Thanks, I mean no problem." After hearing Charles's words, Tommy breathed a sigh of relief: "The release of AmigOS will be held before the Gorbachev couple's visit to the United States, as for which university's graduation ceremony will be lucky to have two first ladies present, can I know now?" ”

"Consider Wellesley College for Women in Massachusetts for the time being."

"You're a fucking bastard, Charles, your girlfriend must be dead in your hands!" When Tommy heard Charles say the name of the school, he grinned at him and raised his middle finger, then turned to Paige in the corner and said:

"Paige, go out and let Sophia find out what recent projects Robert Keohane of International Political Economy at the Hoover Centers at Stanford University need funding, and ask him how much research funding would take for my big-bellied girlfriend to have some legal title at Wellesley College for Women...... Wait a minute, don't bother Otilia, change to Lady Delia Case, I won't let my god ruin the good mood of the two old women with her young and beautiful face and smooth skin. ”

Paige leaned against the wall straightened up and walked out of the conference room.

Tommy watched Paige leave, then turned to face Charles and Jason: "So, we must have some old men like Peppa around us, and old women like Delia, I like Delia, in her forties, she still has charm in bed, as long as she wants to do it, she definitely has a way to make my club stand up, and it won't make the president's wife too hostile, as long as she changes into an old-fashioned outfit, stays up for two nights without sleeping, and plays without a face, She's going to be the kind of harmless same-sex friend that the president's wife likes, and by the way, I'm going to have VOX broadcast the speeches of the two first ladies around the world, for free. ”

"What is the connection between the women's college and the professors at Stanford?" Jason asked Tommy, puzzled.

Charles opened his mouth and said: "The professor's wife also worked at Stanford University before, serving as the chairman of the university's faculty council, and was solemnly recommended by Stanford University to serve as the president of that women's university eight years ago. ”

"Mean?"

"It means that if you donate to Stanford University, you can also make that university feel good about you."

Charles didn't have much time to stay at Stanford to reminisce about campus life, and after getting Tommy and Jason's answers, he got up and said goodbye and returned to Washington, and after seeing Charles off, Tommy continued to meet with Jason, Susie and Ted to discuss the follow-up OS release, and Jason was still dissatisfied with Charles's big appetite:

"Shareholders may be dissatisfied, Tommy, I mean, if one day, they can't pull out any more money, they can use that reason to kill you, and if AmigaOS succeeds, it's a big profit, so big that everybody who likes money will have a heartache."

Tommy clutched a cigarette: "We can earn it back, Jason, the only thing I'm different about is that if I want to, I can excrete money twenty-four hours a day, and if Stephen and Benjamin do come to the door, it's very simple, tell them that if they reduce the cost of the computer hardware they sold to Europe and the Soviet Union a little bit, such as replacing the Intel 386 with the AMD386, they can easily save a lot of money." ”

"But AMD's 386 chip is not strictly legal and could be recalled at any time, and its lawsuit against Intel is not yet closed." Jason said to Tommy.

"The whole world understands that AMD will win, and Intel knows, so let's get back to the point, the AmigaOS conference, Susie, what do you think?" Tommy asked, looking at Susie.

Susie spread out the document in her hand and pushed it in front of Tommy: "According to what you said before, this is the plan and general process that I designed with you, the key words are probably women, the interface is friendly, against tradition, breaking the order, and the new world." ”

Tommy took it and looked at it, and said, "We're going to adjust it a little bit, the scale of the conference." ”

"For example?"

"Think of the press conference as part of the product, pay attention to it, don't stand on the stage by yourself as you thought before, and then let the big screen put photos, and then the paid audience will take the lead in applauding, if you need to add more budget, the company will agree, but your plan should be really attractive, if the press conference can still surprise and be respected by the Gorbachev couple in the Soviet Union, then it will be better, do I want more?"

"Because you mentioned the supplementary budget first, I think it's very reasonable." Susie smiled at Tommy and said, "Then I'll go have a meeting with them, I can see that you're in a hurry." ”

With that, Susie stood up and walked out.

After seeing Susie leave, Tommy whispered in Jason's ear: "Jason, when you realize that the time is ripe, let Susie put a few Microsoft system vulnerabilities that she has previously mastered to help Microsoft increase its popularity, the consequence is best that a large enough company suffers losses because of the adoption of Microsoft systems, she is just a part-time employee of the federal security department, right?" It's normal for a leak to occur during the reporting of a security vulnerability. ”

"My pretty girlfriend might lose her job because of this."

"Of course, I see what you mean." Tommy nodded in agreement: "So what do you do if Susie loses her job?" ”

Jason sighed and looked at Tommy, "Maybe, I'll say it's time to get married?" ”

"Correct." Tommy looked at Jason and smiled and said, "This unemployment compensation isn't bad for her, right?" Not bad for you too. ”

After saying that, Tommy looked at Ted, who was already dozing off:

"Ted, Jason will contact you after he gets it, and then you have to send your most reliable reporter to follow up and report the news of the vulnerability provided by Jason, and then look through the scandals or negative news about Microsoft over the years, not to find trouble with Microsoft, but the news is to tell everyone what happened, report truthfully, if you are sued, don't worry, Jason will pay the fee generously, you know what to do, right?"

"Gorbachev, no matter which country he visited, was accustomed to having people buy back the top selling newspapers and look through which edition the news he visited was placed in." Ted yawned and said weakly:

"Anyway, tell him that Microsoft is an uncomfortable poop that just happened to be pulled on his head."

Tommy nodded, "That's right, that's it." ”

Ted tapped his hands lightly on the table, shrugged, stood up and walked out.

When only Jason was left in the room, Tommy leaned back in his chair tiredly and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't open your mouth, let me enjoy a rare quiet time, Jason." ”

"But Stephen called us earlier and invited us to the premiere of his new film, which is the one about a group of you high school students on vacation, how long are you sure you'll be able to enjoy the silence? Susie and I both got invited, and I guess you're among them. Jason said next to him:

"Also, Charles......"

"Don't discuss Charles, Jason, Charles has paid a lot for us, believe me, he didn't make a profit for himself, he didn't exploit us in exchange for the weight of those big guys, he tried to provide us with the best solution." Tommy rubbed his eyebrows, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Page walking towards the conference room, he cursed in frustration, and slowly got up from his seat:

"I guess before I go to see the premiere of a bad movie, I have to deal with the old woman first."

……

Delia Keys pushes open the door to her suite at the Four Seasons.

Then he threw away his handbag, threw off his designer high heels, and collapsed on the living room sofa without any grace, put his feet directly on Tommy's thighs, and turned his head to look at the TV that was being turned on, and a small movie with a premium channel was playing on the screen, which looked like a crudely made soft comedy sci-fi film.

"I'm not in the mood, Tommy." Delia retracted her gaze, closed her eyes and said, "And look at the picture quality, it's terrible, but the actor's muscles are good." ”

"Of course it's good, that's the male protagonist Sensual Man, with a film cost of $470,000 and a box office of $5.3 million, the title of the film is "The Adventure of the Hanging Spaceship", can you imagine? A movie that you never want to watch when you hear the name, and there are no well-known movie stars, but it sold more than 5 million movie box office, making that company make a lot of money, it was 1974, and in 1990, my dear good friend Stephen, a biopic that cost more than 30 million to shoot, invited Matt Dillon, Dane Lane and other Hollywood stars, but the box office in the first week of the film is estimated to probably not exceed this bad movie. Tommy, also with a tired face, said as he stared at the picture on the TV.

"What do you want to say?" Delia stomped on Tommy's leg muscles with her foot and smiled with her eyes closed.

Tommy looked at the TV screen: "I want to say, just a group of amateurs show their muscles and * children in the movie, can make more than five million, how stingy Stephen is to the audience, if Diane Lynn shows up, it must be more than five million, right?" Don't show American fans bullshit artistry and try to make their money, like this great "Gondola Adventure", showing the blonde girl's *son. ”

Stephen's Hollywood career continues, although the movie is as bad as ever, but the ratings of "Flying Yellow" are very good, thanks to Tommy, Jason and Belt, these Stanford alumni have contributed a lot of jokes in the show, the audience doesn't think they are really starting a business, more like watching a sitcom, Turner TV Network is even preparing to discuss with Stephen's company the possibility of producing a second season, and the current difficulty is stuck in the second season where to find the first season Three There is no lower limit, And Stanford highly educated talents with strong action.

Stanford University is said to be preparing to send an official letter to Stephen's company to express its dissatisfaction, Stanford University sends a large number of high-quality talents to the society every year, and Stephen, as an alumnus, deliberately scandalized Stanford graduates, and the school believes that Tommy, Jason and Beltt did that series of behaviors at the request of the program, and if they encounter trouble after the program is broadcast and need legal assistance, Stanford Law School is willing to open the door.

is about to be blacklisted by Stanford University, Stephen is still complacent, and he was very happy to call Tommy before, saying that his company relied on "Flying Yellow" to make a profit, which shows that he was born to be a film and television producer.

Tommy didn't bother to remind the fool* because he hadn't even thought about paying the three leading actors, and it seemed that there was a slight surplus on the books.

"Sophia called me and said that you were going to let me talk to the two first ladies at Wellesley College for Women, so I would have come here on purpose, otherwise I would have drunk a few whiskeys and laid down for sleep."

Tommy picked up a document bag on the coffee table and handed it to Delia: "The information is inside, it doesn't matter if you read it slowly after you have rested, it's not too much, only more than a hundred pages." ”

Then he removed Delia's feet from his lap and stood up to walk out.

Seeing that Tommy was about to leave, Delia asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go to Los Angeles as a character archetype, go to the premiere of Stephen's shit movie, hypocritically compliment him on how awesome he is, and then go back to Stanford University for a period of time, and I probably won't show up until AmigaOS is released, after all, I still have a lot of work to do, such as inviting my classmates to eat takeout pizza, or playing games with professors? Make sure they feel respected enough to work for me. ”

"I said I was tired." Delia said in an accentuated tone.

Tommy frowned, "I didn't bother you, I was about to leave, ma'am." ”

"I think you might want to take a shower." Delia winked at him.

Tommy's tone was a little dissatisfied: "Hey, you said you weren't in the mood to exercise, Ms. Case, you said on the phone that you weren't in the mood to exercise, so I came to see you with confidence." ”

"What I mean when I say I'm not in the mood to exercise is that you exercise in bed, I try to stay still as much as possible, and the doctor says that menopause is approaching and I need to be comforted urgently."

"I now understand why your assistant, Mr. Kane Fan, converted to Buddhism at the age of thirty."
