Chapter 62 Fishing
Adrian's speech on the stage continued. He didn't talk about deep hatred or grudges. He was not the kind of person who crawled up from the bottom. His father was a senior executive in the Texas police detective system before his retirement, and his mother was an honorary trustee of the University of Houston. Adrian had been a favored child from a prestigious school since he was a child.
While in college, Adrian worked for a senior congressman's team on Capitol Hill. After graduation, he worked as a lawyer, served as a federal detective in Houston, and then became a congressman in the Houston district.
Adrian also showed his own style in his speech, which was humorous yet strong. He said frankly that he ran for election to increase the employment rate in Houston and then to deal with the public security problems plaguing the Houston area, which drew applause from the audience.
For ordinary people in the Houston area, what they want is a job and stable public security. As for other things, most people don't care.
After everyone took turns giving speeches, the graduation ceremony that lasted for most of the day finally ended. People in the venue began to disperse, and Jenny also pulled Song Yang back. There would be a dress-up ball tonight. This was basically Jenny's last time to compete with the girls from Devers School. Jenny didn't want to lose to those bitches.
Back to the small apartment in the Harbor Building, although they have bought a villa, Jenny and Song Yang prefer to hang out in this small apartment. Now most of the closet in the small apartment is filled with Jenny's clothes.
Song Yang didn't care too much about the ball, and he still wore the same suit and tie, but Jenny obviously didn't want to be outdone, so she changed into several dresses, and finally changed into a dark starry sky tight dress that showed , and then she gave up.
Seeing Jenny putting on the necklace Song Yang gave her first, and then moving out accessories, cosmetics, etc., Song Yang knew that Jenny would not be able to finish this for a while.
Song Yang stood up and went to the balcony, and took out Motorola's latest 8900 mobile phone, which is the world's first flip phone, making Motorola mobile phones very popular this year. 218 grams is equivalent to the weight of half a catty. It feels heavy and safe to hold in your hand, but compared with a big brother, it is already a huge improvement.
After calling Gallo's cell phone, Song Yang said to Gallo, "Tell Eric that I want to meet him tonight!"
"Song, do you also want to go to Eric's club again?" When Gallo heard this, he immediately thought of something wrong. It was obvious that he was still obsessed with RICK's nightclub.
Song Yang said unhappily, "Let's talk business. I need Eric to do something for the Chicago to New York route!"
"Let him join in?" Gallo was surprised. He didn't expect that Song Yang actually wanted to let Eric, the king of the nightclub, in.
After hanging up the phone, Song Yang thought about the route plan. To let Eric join in, he needed him to handle the relationship with the land owners in the areas where the route passed. This king of nightclubs must have his own means to open clubs in so many states in America.
Song Yang also needs someone to keep an eye on the progress of this line for him. Gallo is not yet able to handle a project worth hundreds of millions of US dollars. An old hand like Eric is more suitable, with both experience and skills.
As for the construction team's company, Song Yang's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of a real estate company. Then he remembered that he would go to Cha Min in a few days to attend the baptism of Jax's son. Song Yang planned to solve the construction team's affairs at that time.
The most important thing now is to set up the telecommunications company and raise funds for the lines. Thinking of this, Song Yang felt a little overwhelmed.
A burst of fragrance came, and Jenny, who had sprayed perfume, ran directly into Song Yang's arms, then lifted her skirt and turned around, her earrings also turned, and her bracelet made a crisp sound, "How is it?"
"You are the focus of the entire ball today. I can't think of anyone who can take away your status as the queen of the ball!" Song Yang also said to the big cream cake, which made Jenny very happy.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Song Yang and Jenny arrived at the place where the dance was held. Most people dressed up tonight, but when Song Yang and Jenny appeared, they still attracted countless people's attention.
In fact, even without makeup, as long as she held Song Yang's arm, Jenny was basically the focus of the whole audience. For those Devers graduates who were about to enter college or enter society, they had begun to understand the role of the US dollar in America.
There were many girls around Jenny, and some of them were already determined not to go to college. They turned into little followers and followed Jenny.
They bet that Jenny will be able to enter Hollywood or become a supermodel in the future, so if they follow Jenny as her assistants, maybe they can change their lives. Otherwise, they will probably end up working as waiters in a coffee shop, fast food restaurant, hotel, etc.
Song Yang was very self-conscious today. He basically just acted as a dancer. He didn't flirt with anyone and didn't look at other girls, even though some of them were pretty simple-looking.
After the music started, the atmosphere at the party became heated. Men and women started dancing, and many people even had sex when the lights went down...
After dancing with Jenny for a few songs, Song Yang felt a little tired, but Jenny was still in high spirits. Jenny was undoubtedly the focus of the whole audience today. She was surrounded in the center of the dance, which was generally the position for the most popular and famous girl in the entire Devers School. The tea art master Ibella had gone to great lengths for this moment, but Jenny got it.
After staying at the dance for more than two hours, Song Yang and Jenny left early. After the dance, there was an all-night carnival party, which was held privately by the men and women. They would find a deserted place, light a bonfire, and then bring in drinks. It was unclear what would happen in the end. Song Yang was not interested in participating in this with Jenny.
After leaving the dance, Jenny, who was sweating all over, leaned tightly against Song Yang. Tonight was the most glorious and eye-catching day for Jenny since she was a child. Jenny also knew why so many people praised her at the dance today. Looking at Song Yang, Jenny's eyes were a little dazed. She felt that people were intoxicated even without drinking.
Just as she pursed her lips, she heard the sound of two cars. When she saw the cars coming, Jenny felt for the first time that Gallo was so unwelcome.
Song Yang asked Hailey to send Jenny home. Although Gallo said he was going to the RICK Club to discuss business, Hailey, who had heard of the RICK Club, still gave Song Yang and Gallo a middle finger and said to Jenny, who slapped Song Yang on the face before getting in the car, "All men are bad!"
But looking at Jenny whose eyes were still on Song Yang, Haley couldn't help but shook her head. She felt that this silly girl was hopeless.
It was still RICK’s club, but this time Song Yang and Gallo entered directly from the staff passage and were then brought to Eric.
"Song, welcome!"
After seeing Song Yang, Eric smiled and said that Gallo had called him anxiously and Eric thought Song Yang was in trouble.
Song Yang looked into the room at Eric's men, then looked at Eric.
Seeing this, Eric waved his hand and asked them to leave. Just like last time, Eric took out a box of cigars and a bottle of wine. It was obvious that Eric liked these two things very much.
"Song, I didn't expect you to come today. I told you that we are friends. If you need me, I can do my best..."
"There is indeed something, and I need your help, Eric!"
Song Yang interrupted Eric, "But it's not about DoubleClick, nor is it my personal matter. There is another thing I need you to do. Of course, we need to sign a confidentiality agreement in advance, but you can refuse it!"
Looking at Song Yang with a serious face, Eric put the cigar back. Looking at the confidentiality agreement that Song Yang took out, Eric pondered for a moment, shook his head and looked at Song Yang, "I must be crazy to believe what you said. Song, you'd better not disappoint me with what you say next!"
Although he cursed and warned Song Yang that he would not have a good ending if he cheated him, the king of American nightclubs and Lucifer of Houston's underground, Eric still picked up the pen and signed his name, then cast a questioning look at Song Yang.
Song Yang took out a map of America and a makeshift plan and pushed them in front of Eric.
Even though the plans, maps, and the like were crude, Eric was no better than Gallo was when he first heard of the plan.
Looking at the line on the map, Eric cursed with a word starting with S, and then looked at Song Yang with a shocked expression, "No wonder the media said that you guys in the technology industry are the real crazy people!"
Crossing more than 800 miles, across rivers and mountains , just to lay an Internet cable for Wall Street and make the Internet speed there dozens of seconds faster, Eric could not think of another word except crazy.
Eric had done a lot of crazy things before, but compared with what Song Yang did, Eric suddenly felt that it was child's play. Looking at the straight line on the map in front of him, Eric felt that this was probably the most valuable straight line in the world.
“You don’t need to worry about the funding and telecommunications license. I will take care of it!
But I need you to take care of the land and people living on it that this line passes through, and you are also responsible for the progress of the project. Of course, whether to join or not is up to you!"
"How much can this project earn, and how much can I get?!"
"It's not certain that you will make money. There are many unexpected events. Maybe you can't raise funds, or the plan will be leaked, or you can't get the American telecommunications license, etc. If you can succeed in the end, you may make 2 billion, 2.5 billion or 3 billion US dollars, or even more."
Every time Song Yang said a number, the king of American nightclubs couldn't help but tremble.
"As for you, if everything goes smoothly, you can get about 5% of the profits!"
Song Yang said it lightly, but Eric felt his head and chest beating violently. What a concept 5% of 3 billion US dollars is. It is equivalent to more than five times Eric's current net worth!
