American Fortune Life

In the Instagram company, Andy and a group of programmers got together to discuss his source code and the expansion of the entire software. In fact, in Andy's original idea, he didn't want to combine the photo wall and Weibo mode for development, because it was not enough focus.

As an application software, it is simple, single and easy for foreigners to use and accept. However, in order to have a social platform, without buying Twitter, you can only spend a little effort to make one yourself. People recruited at new startups are also familiar with rewriting a Twitter-like program.

It wasn't until after 4 o'clock in the afternoon that Andy was reminded by his assistant Christina that he needed to prepare for the evening dinner.

Walking to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the entire wall facing the street, I stretched my waist, moved my sedentary body, and looked at the few vehicles on the wide road. After all, although the office building leased by the new company is a new building, But the location is relatively remote, but it is on the same street as Wattsup's Liberty City Technology Company.

If it weren't for the fact that real estate prices were not yet at their lowest point, Andy would have bought and hoarded real estate and land a long time ago. He knew how much real estate prices in the Bay Area had risen after the subprime mortgage crisis in 2009 and the economy began to recover.

A large number of entrepreneurs and new IT tycoons gather here. The supply of land and houses in the Bay Area is simply in short supply. Not to mention the high cost of living, the rent of houses is also high. In the later stage, Silicon Valley is no longer suitable for newcomers to start a business here. .

Back at the Four Seasons Hotel, Andy didn't see Tory Black in the presidential suite, so he frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone and called her.

"Where are you now?"

"I'm doing my makeup next door, it will take a while, and I'm doing my hair..."

Rolling his eyes, he hung up the phone, and Andy knew that he would never finish it in one to two hours, so he walked into the bedroom, took out a white bathrobe from the closet, and went into the bathroom.

In the luxurious white porcelain bathtub with a square marble platform, the water was tumbling and splashing from time to time. Andy took off his clothes, soaked in the warm bath water, reached out and took the remote control from the side, and began to search for TV programs.

When he came out of the bathroom with a relaxed body and a little laziness, Tory Black, who had finished his hairstyle, put on makeup, and manicured his manicure, was wearing a vest-style dress with a waist and tutu skirt embellished with dark red sequins. Appeared in the living room, accompanied by two unknown women.

"Boss, this is the hairstylist Jenny and her assistant, let her trim your hair for you." Tori said lightly with her bright red hun.

"En." Andy, who was wearing a bathrobe, nodded, walked to the chair that had been set up and sat down, his hair didn't need to be too troublesome to clean up, it was just a little trimming of the ends of the hair, and then it was blow-dried and shaped .

As night fell, Andy took Tori to the place where the reception was held in the car. The venue was in a hotel, but when it was almost at the entrance, the car stopped. It turned out that there were still several cars in front of it, all of them were guests who came to tonight's reception.

Andy turned his head and glanced at Tory Black, who was taking a deep breath, and his pretty face was flushed with excitement. He couldn't help chuckling, and looked down, watching the pair of BAO being tightly bound and squeezed towards the middle. Go, a line of sky.

"I said, isn't it uncomfortable for you to be so crowded?"

"That's what makes it look good. The front is a U-shaped collar.

It will look particularly ugly if it is not squeezed out of the gully. The collar at the back is considered to be an open back. Don't you like it? "The little assistant Pu fanned her long eyelashes, looked at the big devil with a worried look and explained.

Andy said casually: "It's okay, you don't feel bad, as long as you like it, don't be nervous for a while."

The car was moving slowly, and I saw reporters crowded on both sides of the hotel entrance. Opposite the main entrance of the hotel was a large group of men and women holding up various homemade signs. Many people raised their arms high and shouted anxiously, protesting across the road. Why?

Andy is not interested in knowing what these people are against. Anyway, there are a lot of idlers in the United States, and the protest crowd is very easy to gather. Tonight's reception is held by Steve Jobs, a die-hard supporter of the Donkey Party. Many politicians from the Donkey Party have returned, such as The governor of the Terminator and the mayor of San Francisco will all participate. After all, the presidential candidate O'Hai Niu is the main guest tonight.

Andy has no interest in the dispute between the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party. He has never clearly stood up to support that party. It is meaningless to him. Well, after all, he is a hardcore family of the Elephant Party. Some like the party, but O Hei Niu, the future re-elected president, decided to support it.

donate? American law stipulates that individual donations should not exceed 2,500 US dollars in each election, so this donation is really a tasteless project. Andy needs to meet with Ao Hei Niu to experience his charm before deciding whether to support him further. Establishing a PAC or directly donating money to support a PAC is a political organization initiated by a company, individual or institution. For example, a company announces the establishment of a PAC, injects a sum of money, and accepts donations at the same time.

PACs cannot work with candidates they support, but the law allows them to advertise, praise candidates they support, and disparage candidates they dislike. Since advertising expenditure is the largest expenditure in each presidential election, companies can use PAC to directly affect the election results.

Through the car window, Andy glanced at the protest sign held high, well, it is to protest the current California Governor Schwarzenegger, because he vetoed the same-sex marriage bill passed by the state House of Representatives and opposed the legalization of same-sex marriage . Anyway, there are all kinds of signs of protest.

Andy can only say that this group of people is purely idle, as if their protest will really make these politicians compromise.

The car door opened, and Andy got off the red carpet, turned around and stretched out his hand to hold Tori Black's little hand. When the two stood still on the red carpet and were recognized by the reporters, the whole venue was filled with white light, one after another. Shouts, I want Andy to take a few pictures with him.

How could Andy talk to them? The slightly nervous little assistant held his arm tightly and walked towards the hotel gate without any haste, without any intention of staying at all.

In the resplendent hall of the reception, Jobs and his wife Helen greeted O Hei Niu, who was dressed in a neat suit and a bow tie, with a smile, a chic, very talkative, and his wife who had a very distinctive appearance.

A man walked quickly to Jobs, and reported a few words softly beside him, making Jobs's eyes light up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I'm sorry, two, I have to excuse me, there is an important guest I'm here, I need to greet..."

"Hehe, I'm with you. I've wanted to know him for a long time, and I just want to thank him. The youngest billionaire, he's well-known in Washington." Ao Hei Niu's eyes were shining brightly said with a happy smile on his face.

"Oh? You and Andy Smith also had an intersection?" Jobs looked at Ao Hei Niu in surprise, walked side by side to the gate with him, and chuckled.

"No, but the media under him have photographed reporters who joined my campaign press team, and the reports are more pertinent, without hostility, as the rumors say, without a clear political party bias, and have great value in fighting for." Ohei While Niu smiled and nodded to the passing guests who raised his glass, he lowered his voice and spoke directly to the senior supporter of the donkey party beside him.

"Hehe, if you can really try to get him to disclose his political inclinations and stand up to support the Donkey Party, then you will really do a great thing." Jobs continued with a smile on his face, shaking his head slightly, and continued: " However, this matter will basically not happen. Maybe he will support you to run for president, but he will never reveal his political stance. This young man is not an ordinary young man. Forget it, I will know when I see you. "

When Andy stepped into the gate of the banquet with his little assistant, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. Now, no one in the United States would not know him.

"Huh?" Andy hummed lightly, but with a charming smile on his face, he greeted the group of four who came straight towards him.

"Hi, Steve, thank you for your invitation." Andy stretched out his hand to shake Jobs's hand, who was also smiling, and said, "You should pay attention to your body. Compared with the last time we met, you have lost a lot of weight."

Although the smile on the thin face was still there, a light flashed in his eyes. Jobs, who looked a little strange, shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and said, "My health is fine, but I've been a little busy recently. Users are a very troublesome thing. Stop talking about this, come, let me introduce you...")!!
