Chapter 14 The show is hot
At the end of June, the climate in California was very comfortable, neither too cold nor too hot. In the afternoon, the warm sunshine shone on Andy. He stretched out his limbs and floated on the air cushion in the swimming pool, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, showing his capital unscrupulously.
Carl, holding a stack of photos and documents in his hand, was full of envy on his fat face. His handsome appearance, stronger and stronger figure, and making money was as simple as eating and drinking water. Everything made him feel extremely envious. Fortunately, he also gained a lot of benefits, otherwise he would have to die of jealousy.
Retracting his gaze, Carl sat on an empty recliner, took out ice wine from the ice bucket and poured himself a glass of it. The cold and sweetness made him sigh that Andy really could enjoy life.
"Ahem."
Carl saw Andy as if she was asleep. He didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine here. Andy was the boss of the hand, and almost everything was on him. Well, he liked this fulfilling life, although it was very tiring.
Andy heard the cough, her closed eyes opened slightly, and saw that it was Carl, "You are here."
After saying that, he stretched his body on the inflatable bed, turned over and entered the swimming pool, and slowly swam to the shore. The swimming pool was composed of a rectangle and a circle, very much like a key without serrated teeth.
He picked up a bath towel and draped it on his body casually. The water droplets kept dripping on the ground. He wiped his hand and took the photo handed to him and started to look at it.
"These photos cover all the cliffs on the coast of Santiago Brek. Which piece of land is it?" Carl put down the wine glass in his hand and began to introduce it.
"Well, I'll take a look first." Andy looked through the photos and quickly compared them with the pictures in his memory. When he saw the 7th photo, he was relieved, but he was still in the Borderlands.
"Is this place? I said, why did you buy a cliff? You don't really want to build a house on it, do you?" Carl couldn't guess Andy's thoughts, and suddenly thought of something, looking at him with a little suspicion.
"The difference between genius and mortals is here. The photos you and I see are the same, but the things in my mind are different. Don't ask, there is no problem buying this piece of land, right?" Andy glanced at Carl, without too much explanation.
"Let me take a look... Well, the document states that the entire mountain includes a small beach, which costs 6 million US dollars. To be honest, it's not very cheap! Are you sure you want to buy it?" Carl looked through the documents and felt that the price was a bit expensive. Although he brought a private beach, the overall area was indeed large enough, but it was still a bit expensive. There was an independent cliff with a sparsely populated area around.
"Buy it." Andy replied calmly, but he was very excited. "Now it is my city of freedom!"
Seeing Andy's attitude was very firm and he held back the advice he spoke, Carl couldn't help but put another stack of documents into his hand in depressed manner, "These are several game companies that are interested in selling, you can take a look."
"Good, Carl, your work efficiency is indeed high, I like it." Andy took the document excitedly and finally involved the field he was familiar with. Although he made mobile games in his last life, he could also do computer games.
"I have screened these companies. They are all due to lack of funds or lack of innovation in game projects, and their personnel composition is relatively complete." Carl enjoyed Andy's praise, and his smile on his fat face became much brighter. He touched the bald head with oil and asked for credit.
"Okay okay, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work. Come on, let's have a drink." Andy raised his glass speechlessly.
"OK, cheers."
One of the information from several companies was selected. The information shows that this game company called Winster mainly develops casual games, but its profitability is really not good, and the company's boss does not want to continue to lose money in it, so he decided to abandon this non-performing asset.
However, in this land of the United States, sometimes the boss’s own company may not be able to make a complete decision. Faced with unemployment, employees quit. Although the current economic environment in the United States is in a false prosperity, it is not easy to find a job. If they lose their jobs, what should their families do? What should they do with their mortgage and car loans?
So, the company's employees formed a negotiating team to negotiate with the boss, demanding that the boss cannot end the company. In exchange, the employees can exchange their wages for shares. However, the boss Winster will not continue to burn money on companies without futures, but if the employees keep making trouble like this, he is a little worried and has to make concessions, sell the company, and look for buyers everywhere.
Andy is interested in casual games developed by this company, especially a 2D pixel game. The technology is fine, but the game itself is not creative.
"Just this one! You can contact them first. If it goes well, let Nelson and David review their company. If it feels okay, buy it and get it done as soon as possible."
"Okay, no problem. I'll call them in a while. I believe they won't refuse us." Carl looked at the information in his hand and said confidently.
Andy agreed with Carl's words and believed in his efficiency. Since he had already decided, Carl picked up the information and took out his mobile phone and started dialing.
After hanging up the phone, Winster breathed a deep breath and was finally able to throw the broken ship out.
"Lina, let Holden and Bill come to my office."
"Okay, boss." A crisp female voice came out from the phone's megaphone.
Within a few minutes, I heard two footsteps coming from the corridor outside the office.
"Dongdong"
"Come in." Winster lit a cigarette in his mouth, sweeping away the depression some time ago, and his voice became lighter.
Two men in their thirties pushed the door and walked in. Although they were meticulous in their clothes, the fatigue and confusion in their eyes could not be concealed at all. The possible unemployment made both of them feel very depressed.
Waiting for the two of them to sit down, Winster slowly talked about the phone call to them. Holden immediately glanced at Bill after hearing this, and they both felt a sudden sensation in their minds, knowing that they didn't have to worry about unemployment for the time being.
However, the two of them looked a little nervous in a flash and looked at Winster. After all, he was the boss and the company belonged to him.
"Now is a good opportunity, and it is a good opportunity for me to the employees you represent. If the transaction is successful, I will be relieved, you will keep your job and relieve the pressure of life. Okay, I won't say much nonsense. You go back and tell the employees whether they can keep their jobs. This requires you to leave enough good impressions for the buyers." Winster ordered very simply.
Holden and Bill nodded, not wanting to delay for a moment. They hoped to announce the good news early and stabilize the increasingly turbulent emotions of the company.
Andy continued to be his hand-off manager. Apart from fitness, she wrote novels, just like swimming in the swimming pool, staying at home all day and not going out. This made the nanny Liu Yan a little incomprehensible. Isn’t this child at this age the most noisy time? Why can’t I see Andy at all?
Maybe he has no friends here, so he stayed at home all day and couldn't go out to write novels. Liu Yan found a reason he thought was reasonable, so he came up with an idea, suggesting Andy raise some small animals, such as cats, dogs, etc., to accompany him to relieve his boredom.
Andy was a little amused and sent Liu Yan, who was nagging for concern, out of study, closed the door and sat back on the boss's chair, shook his head and laughed. Liu Yan didn't know that the reason why he was so stuck at home all day was not that he was so idly, but that he had to follow the plan at the moment. He also liked passionate nightlife, yearning for various parties that he could only see on TV and communicate with beauties, but not now.
However, Liu Yan's suggestion reminded himself that raising a few dogs is indeed a good idea. He liked dogs very much in his previous life, but the conditions did not allow it, so he only stayed in his thoughts. As for cats, his girlfriend raised a gluttonous Persian cat, which he also liked very much.
Well, that's what he decided. He couldn't help but save the document, opened Google and started searching for pet stores in Hollywood. As for adoption, Andy didn't have that idea for the time being, because the animal adoption department almost didn't have the breed he needed.
Cats and dogs are what he needs, and, with his current conditions, the pets he wants to keep should be purebred and of good blood. Economic strength determines the quality of life. The original life of the general public no longer needs to continue. As a new local tycoon, he must apply a new lifestyle.
Maybe anyone can spend money, but some people spend it like nobles, while others are like nouveau riche, but it doesn’t matter. Andy doesn’t care what others think of him. As long as he is happy, he believes that low-key is the kingly way and does not show off, because he will definitely be struck by lightning.
