"Mr. Li, Microsoft is a software company. Their income depends entirely on whether users use their software. Unlike Apple's software and hardware binding, PC users can completely change the software."
Ronald's accountant, Ed Bastian, had different opinions on Ronald's idea. This partner in PwC's New York office not only had accounting talents, but also had business acumen.
At the beginning of this year, he was almost headhunted to become the vice president of Pepsi-Cola. This was only because Ronald's business was growing rapidly year by year. In addition, some other Hollywood stars also switched jobs because of rumors about Ronald's wealth and entrusted their finances to him.
The damage to my income was too great, so I stayed at Puhua.
The opinion raised by Ed Bastian is also very reasonable. PC users can switch to WordStar and abandon Microsoft at any time, while most Apple computer users are bound to specially optimized and developed software.
Many investment analysts are not very optimistic about Microsoft's stock price. Based on its historical performance, especially after the stock market crash, most analysts prefer Apple, which has more certain growth.
"You don't understand that weaknesses are also strengths. It doesn't cost anything for PC users to switch to Microsoft software..." Ronald dismissed Ed Bastian's reminder. I make a lot of money buying stocks.
, what your company’s analysts said is very clear, but it turned out that we suffered huge losses in the stock market crash.
"Of course, I can't argue with your investment skills. But as your accountant, I have an obligation to provide you with the common views in the industry. If you ask me for my opinion, I am actually leaning towards Microsoft, but should we not
Put all your cash in one basket?”
"Hey, I'm not a professional investor. If I just buy one stock, I don't have to worry too much and don't have enough energy. Just buy it..." Ronald didn't want to listen to these professional investment opinions. But I and Warren B.
As Mr. Fei said, haven’t you seen that our heroes all bought Coca-Cola?
"Hahaha, it's hard for me to argue with an investment wizard. Just buy what you want and I'll make arrangements."
Ronald is very proud of his investment vision. He will definitely be able to succeed in one fell swoop this time like he did with Coca-Cola...right?
…
"Ding dong..." The doorbell rang.
"Why are you here? Is there any breakthrough in the case? Have you caught the suspect?" Ronald, who was reading a script at home, opened the door and welcomed private lawyer Lindsay Dole.
After giving birth to a child, the lawyer lady gained a mature charm and demeanor. She did not speak as fast as before and had a calm demeanor.
"Yes, we have been caught. The five suspects who attacked that lady have been caught. The person who attacked you is also included..."
Ronald looked at the information. The black young man who attacked him was named Corey Wise. He had a hard time forgetting that unruly look in his eyes.
"The NYPD will hold a press conference soon to announce their guilty plea. I'm here to ask you if you want to appear on this matter."
Ronald shook his head, it was best not to get involved in this kind of thing.
"Okay, then I'll discuss it with the Southern District Prosecutor Rudy. He will give me some face. But he wants to have an interview with you. He will run for mayor this year and hopes to get your endorsement."
"There are donations and support, but endorsement is impossible..." Ronald learned a lot during the presidential election. His Hollywood identity is not suitable for publicly supporting any candidate of the Elephant Party.
Soon, that night, the NYPD held a press conference and announced the results of their investigation. The "Central Park Jogger (the victim's code name)" was suspected of being attacked by as many as 12 gangsters, 5 of whom were already powerful.
Confessing the crime under pressure.
The main suspects were part of a small gang of more than 30 teenagers who attacked strangers in the park as part of what police said was a "rewilding" activity. New York City's top detective said the suspects were attacking strangers in the park.
That's the word police used to describe their actions. Police called the attacks "random" and "motivated" and said they "terrorized" people in the park.
"What does this mean? What is rewilding?" Diane just packed her clothes and was about to go on vacation with Donna. She couldn't understand the word.
"That is to say, they were originally humans, but now they have been contaminated by gangs and become like beasts." Ronald could not forget the beast-like red eyes of the young man named Corey Wise.
"Oh, this is really scary..." Diane kissed Ronald and went downstairs.
"Governor Cuomo condemned the incident and emphasized that New York's security situation has reached a point where it must be rectified. Mayoral candidate Dinkins refused to comment on the case, but expressed dissatisfaction with the NYPD's approach of linking suspects to race...
…”
Ronald sighed. This kind of thing happens in Manhattan, New York. Politicians of all races say these words as prescribed actions. The Italian-born Cuomo wants to show tough masculinity, and the black Dinkins complains that black people are being unfairly treated.
Only the poor victim was treated. No politicians came out to support her.
Ronald decided to donate some money to the poor Wall Street secretary, from his share of the box office of "Working Girl." The real secretary didn't have the same luck as Tess in the movie, and she's still in the hospital.
.
The only thing that can be comforting is that she has woken up, although she can no longer remember everything that happened at the time and cannot personally identify the suspect. Her brain injury was serious, and her future recovery and subsequent life will definitely require a lot of money.
Use the box office sales of "Working Girl" to donate to her, just in time to make the news and let the movie be released soon to make a big splash at the end.
"It is reported that among the five suspects identified by the NYPD, four live in the Schomburg Building on Fifth Avenue, and the other is only two buildings away... This 74-year-old government-funded
The 35-story public housing building houses more than 600 families with complex backgrounds..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Shxt! Why is there such a criminal den on Fifth Avenue?" Ronald heard the name of Fifth Avenue and immediately brought the map. This place is next to
How could such an expensive neighborhood like Central Park and the Upper East Side be built with such a complex mix of residents?
"Get your boss, which one? The biggest one...when?...immediately, immediately..." Ronald got very angry. He picked up the phone and called the management office. Isn't this a scam?
?
"Hey...did you hear that? Those fucking bastards live a mile away from me, and I bought another house from you in vain..." Ronald waited until the developer called.
When I called, I was scolded.
"Hey, hey, don't worry, I will take care of some things, okay? No one in New York knows how to do security work better than me. Don't worry, Prince Bandar of Saudi Arabia also bought a house here, and he stays there every time he comes to New York.
Hang up here, I have other calls to answer..."
The real estate developer drank a glass of Coca-Cola and then ate a slice of Pizza Hut pizza, while the tenants' complaint calls kept coming in... It was all thanks to my eloquence that I could deal with these tenants.
"Hey, His Highness Bandar? Did I watch the news? Of course I did. You don't have to worry at all. There are also rock stars and big Hollywood directors among the guests. Who? Ronald Lee, do you know him? Every time he
I have stayed here since I came to New York, and no one knows how to do a good job of security better than me..."
…
In a cafe on the streets of Little Italy, Ronald Douglas Jr., accompanied by lawyer Lindsay, met the prosecutor of the Southern District of New York and the new mayoral candidate, Rudy.
The appearance and meeting place revealed Rudy's Italian identity. He is now waging war against Wall Street giants, suing Milken, the bond king who financed Minahan Grant.
In addition, he was investigating the Mafia in New York at the same time, and it would be inconvenient to go to the place where Ronald lived, so he met with two people on Staten Island who had a decisive influence on the election results in his own territory.
"I am of Italian descent and have grown up here since I was a child. Some of my relatives are in the NYPD and some have been arrested as criminals. I have known which side I should stand on since I was a child."
Rudy spoke very frankly. In fact, many New Yorkers don't have much favorable impressions of Italians. Their beliefs and habits are different from immigrants from other places, and they also tend to stick together and be closed to the outside world.
"Actually, I have no partisan leanings. We hope that the next mayor of New York will be someone who can bring security and prosperity to the people. I also have many good Italian friends in Hollywood..." Ronald also said that he
The tendency is not to decide who to vote for based on racial background.
"Good, then we have a basis for discussion." Rudy introduced his own political views. Ronald listened carefully. Although the attention to Staten Island was not as expected, it was still better than the black candidate.
.
Dinkins was already encouraging a Harlem Baptist minister, Butts, to come out in support of the five suspects. He told the New York Times: "In the United States of America, when a white woman is raped, the first thing you do is
One thing is to accuse a bunch of young black men of doing it, and I think that's what happened here..."
At least Rudy's reaction to this case satisfied Ronald and Little Doug. He plans to clean up the central area of New York City to protect tourism, one of the city's important pillar industries. If even the center of Manhattan appears
Violent attacks will have a major blow to property taxes and tourism revenue.
Rudy also attaches great importance to Ronald and the Staten Island forces behind him.
In the House of Representatives election for the 13th District, Italian Moriarty was successfully re-elected. In addition, due to Ronald's influence in Staten Island, he was the only Elephant Party in New York State on the east coast to receive more votes than the Donkey Party.
Party constituencies.
As long as we can get the majority of votes in Staten Island, we have a chance of winning the mayoral election.
Both parties had vital interests and quickly reached a consensus. Rudy would provide more city government subsidies to Staten Island and increase the number of ferries between Manhattan and Staten Island.
Ronald and Little Doug will facilitate his campaign activities across the island, and the town of Toteville, where they have roots, will vote for candidates recognized by them.
"Your name will not be mentioned in the following press conferences. The NYPD and the Southern District Prosecutor's Office are very careful to protect the privacy of the parties involved. You can rest assured..."
Rudy shook hands with Ronald to finalize their cooperation. While hugging, he whispered in Ronald's ear what he had done to prevent Ronald from being involved in social news.
The lesson of Robert Lowe is right in front of us. This kind of matter that is hotly debated by the whole people, no matter the merits or demerits, just take sides according to personal values. If you get involved and say anything, you will be very troublesome and will be used by people with good intentions to hype it.
Not showing up is the best solution.
"There are game consoles here. I'm going to play. There was a game arcade where we could play after school. At that time, there were only Pac-Man and Little Bee. Do you remember?" Little Douglas happened to have nothing to do these days, and Donna went on vacation.
Then, he saw several game consoles placed in the corner of the Italian cafe and invited Ronald to play with them.
"Okay, let's see who is better..."
Ronald asked the bodyguard Dan for a few quarters, put in a new machine, and started playing with Little Doug. The words "Final Fight" appeared on the screen.
"Which one do you choose? I think the one in red clothes looks like Bruce Lee, and I like it. Can you choose the one in white T-shirt?" Little Doug first chose a character named Guy.
"Okay..." Ronald found that this game seemed a bit familiar. The name of the character wearing white clothes and jeans was Cody.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Oh, hahahaha..." A gangster who looked like a big boss hugged a woman in a red dress and started laughing wildly."
"Eh... isn't this?" Ronald's memories started. Isn't this the fighting game he had dreamed of? It was also adapted from "Streets of Rage" starring Diane.
"No, the copyright of this movie is mine now. I didn't authorize the adaptation, right?" Ronald simply stopped playing. He found the phone and called Michelle Cannold who was daydreaming.
"Michelle, I saw an arcade game in New York that infringed the copyright of the movie 'Streets of Rage'. Please find someone to check it out. Well, if confirmed, I will file a lawsuit. The manufacturer is called Capcom, C
…A…P….”
"Lindsay, Lindsay..." Then he ran out and called back lawyer Lindsay Dole who was leaving, "This arcade machine is infringing, and your business is coming..."
"What evidence do you have? Change is a very vague field, and it is a cross-border lawsuit..." Lindsay watched the game for a while, and Ronald's position was occupied by a young man, who was playing hard with little Doug.
"The clothes of the hero and heroine are very similar, and the heroine's name is also the same, both are called Cody. I don't know what the heroine's name is? Hey, do you know what the heroine's name is?" Ronald asked that one
young people.
"I don't know, who reads those words? You want to know, you'll find out when I type the ending..."
Lawyer Lindsay started calling people to do background checks. Then he called Hollywood lawyer Gray Eyes Mickey and Attorney Kent.
Ronald stared at the progress of Little Doug and the game master. More than an hour later, after Little Doug used up the ten coins Ronald gave him in exchange, the two reached the bottom of the level.
A boss in a wheelchair who fires crossbows fell off a skyscraper after being defeated. Finally, the girl in red chased Cody in white. Guy, the protagonist in red, couldn't stand Cody's dillydallying and beat him up.
A meal.
In the end, Cody was caught up by the girl in red, and the two hugged each other...
"This must be adapted from Streets of Rage. In that movie, Cody was not with Ellen, played by Diane, at the end." Ronald pointed to the screen on the game console and shouted to the lawyer.
"But the heroine's name is Jessica... um..." Lindsey Dole touched her chin. The case may be more complicated now, but it also has a head start. Whether it is adapted from a movie can last a long time...
