104 Flying pigs
"I know you, our Mangroves football players, and in last Saturday's game, you were the last to make it to the end and run through the crowd to that ......"
After entering the study, Olivia stared at Bill, who was holding the book, and began to speak.
"The end zone, the scoring area of the touchdown is called the end zone."
Mr. Ferrari explained to her the terms she couldn't pronounce.
I don't even know the end area, so it can be seen that this woman doesn't pay much attention to rugby games on weekdays, and going to watch the San Francisco derby is also a fun, after all, the big scene of 80,000 people is usually not visible.
"Yes, at that time, I thought that you had the heroic temperament of myths and legends, and one person could fight against the whole world."
Olivia picked up a book from the shelf as well, then walked over and leaned against the desk, standing side by side with Eighty-Eight.
Before today's meeting, she had already learned about the campus legend from all sides.
It is said that Bill is still single on the 88th, and he will only have a serious relationship with his lifelong wife, and then get married and have children with the blessing of the world.
Compared with the bohemian members of the rugby varsity team, Bill Ferrari, who has basically no school scandals, has become the ultimate target of many girls. Quite a few girls fantasize about dating the tall and handsome number eighty-eight, but they can only fulfill this wish in their dreams.
Olivia didn't believe this rumor very much, she hadn't had a close encounter with the school legend, only heard that he was handsome, and didn't have much specific idea of his handsomeness, until the night of the meeting.
Thick eyebrows, deep eyes, high nose and thin lips, and delicate facial features seem to have been carefully carved by the greatest statuettes, and there is not a trace of fault to be found. But the facial features and figure are only embellishments, and the most attractive thing is actually the confidence and high-spirited spirit exuded by Mr. Ferrari from the inside out.
"Ma'am, you're exaggerating my role, but rugby is the most coordinated form of ball games. In the case of our offensive team, the offensive line is important, but the five big players on the front line also play their own role, and without them, the quarterback is the target of the enemy defense. ”
Bill is modest, in fact he prefers to be flattered by others, and the sycophants of beautiful women are especially hormonal-prone.
"But you're still the key guy with the ball and the score."
Looking at the perfect side face of the campus star, Olivia felt that she was almost unable to breathe, and her heart was pounding, as if it was about to pop out of her chest.
Am I going to be the lucky baby tonight? She couldn't believe her pregnancy.
"Ma'am, you can actually sit down."
Bill pointed to the chair behind the desk and motioned for Olivia to sit down, and Bill sat down on the desk. That way, her eye level was under Mr. Ferrari's chest.
There is a peculiar hint to the sitting posture of the two.
With books in their hands, Bill and Olivia talked about everything from high school and their hometown to how their grandparents crossed the Atlantic and came to North America from Italy.
Compared with the noisy living room, the study on the second floor is much quieter, and the dim lighting of the study adds a bit of ambiguous atmosphere, and the two young men and women talk less, but the secretion of hormones gradually increases.
Finally, Bill, who was not pretending, jumped off the table, picked up Olivia's face directly, and aimed it at his lips to gnaw.
The freshman was also extremely cooperative, and after a few minutes, their movements increased until the end of the long French kiss.
"Why don't we find a place?"
Mr. Ferrari proposed.
"Whatever you want, I can do anything." Olivia, whose heart had melted, naturally listened to the words of the campus star, and the two who already had a tacit understanding immediately walked out of the study hand in hand, and left in style under the gaze of a large number of men and women on the first floor.

Sun Workstation Inc.
"Yes, after signing, your stake will remain roughly the same, and 6.4 percent is already the limit of what we can do."
Dr. Andy explains to Mr. Eighty-Eight.
The contract had already been seen by the accompanying lawyers, and Bill, who was satisfied with the terms, signed his name on the spot to participate in the contract for the second investment.
Here's the thing, Sun Workstation, which had been profitable since early September, was ready to scale up production, so the founders introduced a second investment and were ready to get around $5 million.
In order to make the future development more stable, and in order to connect with the computer manufacturing industry, Sun Workstation Company and Silicon Valley venture capital company KPCB negotiated, during which the founders pulled in the last investor, Bill. After discussion, Mr. Ferrari needed to invest $300,000 in the investment so that the stake would not be diluted.
After finding a professional in the computer manufacturing industry to compile a report on the development prospects of the solar workstation, Bill started to follow the investment. When he learned that one of KPCB's partners was Intel's founder, John Doerr, he immediately decided to follow suit, using the capital of the LLC company.
Although it was still an investment of $300,000, this time only about 2 percent of the shares, and the original diluted to about 4.5 percent barely kept his holdings at the previous level.
After this period of in-depth understanding of startup investment, Bill also knew the significance of the founders pulling him into this investment, that is, the founders may think that Bill, as a shareholder, can play a certain positive role in the development of the company in the future.
"Speaking of which, the speed of your profitability is really beyond my imagination, originally I thought it would take at least a year for you to have the initial production of products on the market."
After signing, Bill stood up and said to Dr. Andy.
This is the truth, in his previous life, he also roughly knew the classic case of ofo shared bicycles, ofo company before and after four rounds of financing, each round of funds are calculated according to 100 million US dollars, before and after billions of US knives smashed in, it only took a few years to completely lose, during the period of profit is unknown, and a lot of user deposits are owed.
What Bill didn't expect was that Andy's team actually took just over half a year to put their computers into production, and successfully found target customers and achieved initial profits.
Although they may have been able to take advantage of the hardware manufacturing limelight to achieve such speed, after all the experience, Mr. Ferrari still felt the wonder of the "flying pig".
Only the general trend of society can create wealth so quickly.
"You may not know it, but our team is very professional, three of them are from Stanford, and the other two are top students from UCB."
Dr. Andy introduced the founding team to investors.
