Bobcat loves to clean his two pistols. He can play with these guns at home or at the shooting range, but he cannot take the guns to public places.
It is not difficult for non-immigrant visa holders to buy and hold guns in the United States. They only need to obtain relevant intercontinental documents, and the price is tens of dollars.
In California, the law does not allow concealed carry of firearms in public. Firearms cannot be hidden in clothing or bags and must be placed within the sight of others.
Generally speaking, green card holders or locals in the United States can carry guns on the streets. This is not illegal. There are more restrictions on non-immigrant visa holders holding guns, and the regulations vary from state to state.
All mainland bodyguards, including Nobita, hold visas that do not allow them to carry guns when traveling.
This is why bald coach Harrison said he was unarmed and had to hire white bodyguards to legally hold guns to maintain safety.
Harrison has experience in the Federal Field Service and has the highest level of gun license, which allows him to legally carry concealed guns in every state in the United States. This is very important.
Because the United States is the United States, the 50 states are all political entities and have their own constitutions, National Guards and legal definitions. The legal provisions are very different.
It is legal to carry a gun in California, but it may be illegal in Georgia, which places high requirements on the qualifications of a bodyguard.
"Mr. Camberley, I heard that the boss paid a large sum of money to have your daughter go to a private hospital for heart surgery. Is this true?"
"That's right."
"Then we can work together in the future. Let's go have a drink sometime. I'll invite you to Chinatown to try authentic Chinese cuisine. It's great."
"Thanks!"
Well……
Looking at Cambury's harmless face, Bobcat had nothing to say. This guy had a boring personality, and it was easy for the topic to die.
A night of silence
The next morning,
Elizabeth rested her head on Wang Yaocheng's strong arm, curled up in his arms like a little cat and slept soundly. This little girl was so crazy last night that she couldn't get up in the morning.
Wang Yaocheng got up gently, washed up and went to the restaurant upstairs.
Harrison was already sitting on the sofa downstairs, drinking coffee leisurely, looking relaxed.
Sitting on the sofa opposite is a handsome blond man, in his 30s, with a pair of deep blue eyes that seem to contain many touching stories. He is so handsome that he has no friends.
"Hi! Boss, this is the unlucky Tom. He is now in debt. Hahaha, you can do whatever you want with him. This bastard will never resist."
Harrison said hello happily and narrowed his eyes.
"Welcome, Tom. If I were a killer, I couldn't help but let go of the real target and open a bloody hole in your beautiful face. This would give me a greater sense of accomplishment." Wang Yaocheng shook hands with a smile.
Just a harmless joke.
"Thank you for your compliments, boss. I prefer to make a living by relying on my talents. I can drive airplanes and armored vehicles well, and I also have a professional racing driver's license. I have won it at the Indianapolis 500.
A good result of fourth place.”
"Don't worry Tom, you are safe here with me. No one will care whether you are handsome or not."
Tom smiled easily, "If you have special hobbies, I don't mind, boss."
Wow...what the hell?
I mind!
Wang Yaocheng quickly threw away his hand in disgust and looked at Tom in confusion. If Tom didn't have a reliable explanation, Wang Yaocheng would immediately buy him a plane ticket and ask him to get out.
"Boss, I am a very easy-going person. My only hobby is the pursuit of the excitement of extreme speed. Everything else does not matter." Tom explained sincerely.
Wang Yaocheng looked at Harrison with questioning eyes. This savage giant-like guy was smiling happily with his mouth wide open and nodding like garlic.
Let me tell you, he is so easy-going to the point of being casual, he is also considered a weird one.
"Okay, let's go have breakfast together. Rebecca has been with Elizabeth these two days. After breakfast, we are going to San Francisco. Everyone, hurry up."
"No problem, boss."
A group of four Hummer off-road vehicles were speeding along the wide interstate road, aiming for the city of Emeryville, where Pixar Animation is located.
In 1986, the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic, a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, was acquired by Steve Jobs for US$10 million, establishing the official Pixar Animation.
Co-founder Ed Carmutel serves as vice president and technical director. He is an outstanding animation master and the former technical director of the animation department of Industrial Light and Magic.
This sudden departure from Silicon Valley caught Ryuichi Yoshida, Sekawa Noo and others from the violent gang who had been watching from the side. They could only watch a group of four Hummer off-road vehicles roaring away, unable to do anything.
Four military bulletproof version of Hummer off-road vehicles are not coveted by gangsters with only small weapons such as pistols, and they cannot be stopped even if they are stopped.
This incident greatly stimulated Yoshida Ryuichi and Sekawa Noo. They gritted their teeth and made heavy bets. They purchased a large number of guns and ammunition, explosives, even shoulder-mounted RPGs, as well as vehicles and other crime tools, and were fully prepared.
As soon as the opportunity comes, take action immediately.

"Welcome, dear Boss King, this is your first time coming to Pixar Animation. This is our partner and technical director Ed Carmutel. This is John Lasseter, the director of the animated feature film "Toys"
The director of "Cars" is an artist with genius ideas."
Mr. Jobs enthusiastically introduced these two unkempt middle-aged men to Wang Yaocheng. They had thick, messy beards and most of their heads were bald.
It seems that smart heads do not grow hair, which makes sense.
"Nice to meet you."
"Me too."
After a brief exchange of greetings, the three of them walked around with Wang Yaocheng.
The place is full of all kinds of strange toys and weird employees. There are even programmers dressed as clowns typing on the keyboard, animators in pajamas, and even chefs who bring rubber dolls to work.
I really don’t know who dares to eat the food cooked by the chef...
The rooms on the upper and lower floors were quickly viewed. More than a hundred talented animators gathered in this infinitely creative Pixar Animation Company, and they were about to use their outstanding talents to set off a hurricane in the world of animation.
Wang Yaocheng secretly cursed: This is a madhouse! Sure enough, geniuses are not ordinary people, and their hobbies are also very partial.
Of course, I am an exception.
"This is our computer-aided production system (CAPS) that won the Academy Award for Science and Engineering. The entire work system consists of 87 dual-CPU and 30 4-CPU sparc (scalable processor architecture) workstations, as well as a sparc1000 server.
With it, the 3D animated feature film "Toy Story" can achieve satisfactory results, greatly improving the efficiency of animators and allowing the dream scenes to be presented."
Wang Yaocheng watched the animated short film shown on the computer screen, and it gradually merged with his memory.
This is a clip of the protagonist toy Buzz Lightyear, who was forgotten when his little master Andy moved. The expressions on the face of the toy Buzz Lightyear are very rich, perfectly conveying the expression of frustration and fear.
This is something that flat animation can never do. 3D animation can express emotions more realistically. With the rapid development of computer technology, animal hair and even avalanches rolling down mountains can be simulated very realistically.
"I feel that 3D animation that incorporates high technology conforms to the trend of the times and represents the direction of future development. Seeing these outstanding results, I am really relieved..."
"Pixar Animation, with Mr. Jobs at the helm, will surely create a new world with an unlimited future..."
"Thank you for your great contribution and bringing more happiness to children around the world. This is a very meaningful cause."
Wang Yaocheng's sensational words won warm applause from everyone.
Afterwards, a group of people came to sit in the company's conference room, and Vice President Ed Camutter briefly introduced the current situation of Pixar Animation.
In a nutshell;
It was fully committed to the production of the animated feature film "Toy Story" directed by John Lasseter. More than 90% of the company's energy and personnel, as well as all financial resources, were devoted to the production of the film. It was a desperate move.
This animated feature film "Toy Story" began preparations at the end of 1991 and was officially put into production in 1992. It has been a year and a half.
The production of the film has been completed for more than 40 minutes. It is expected to take three years to complete, including editing and post-dubbing, etc. It is expected to be released nationwide in 1995.
According to the contract signed with Disney, the film will be distributed throughout the United States through Disney's film distribution channels.
Since Wang Yaocheng had just invested US$18 million in shares previously, and coupled with Pixar Animation's own profitability, there is no shortage of funds for the time being.
The biggest problem is:
Regarding the distribution of the animated feature film "Toy Story," negotiations with Disney were not smooth, and there were sharp differences of interest.
To put it simply, the Disney store is cheating customers and is unwilling to share the film's revenue with Pixar. Instead, it is prepared to buy out the film at a very low price.
The experienced Disney people must have also realized that a brand new 3D animation like "Toy Story" has the qualifications to become a hit.
Otherwise, the food appearance would not be so ugly.
This is why Jobs approached Wang Yaocheng for this purpose, hoping to use his power to communicate and negotiate with Disney and try his best to protect the interests of Pixar Animation.
First, Wang Yaocheng is the second largest shareholder of Pixar Animation, holding 25% of the shares, and is obligated to safeguard the company's rights and interests.
In the equity distribution of Pixar Animation, Mr. Jobs is the largest shareholder, holding 70.3% of the equity, and is the unquestionable decision-maker.
The third largest shareholder, Vice President Ed Carmutel, holds 3.2% of the shares and has almost no say in the company. Most of the other scattered shares are in the hands of the company's middle management and can be ignored.
Secondly, Red Hat's size and status are similar to those of Disney, allowing them to have an equal dialogue.
The market value of Disney is nearly 10 billion U.S. dollars, while that of Pixar Animation is less than 100 million U.S. dollars. The two are obviously not of the same order of magnitude.
As the unquestioned leader in the industry, Disney has no doubt crushed Pixar Animation, and there is no equal relationship in the face of Chi Guoguo's interests.
Red Hat is different. Its Netscape company has a market value of more than 8 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of size, the two seem to be equal in status in the business world.
At least Disney does not have an absolute psychological advantage over Red Hat and can talk to each other on an equal footing.
The thickness of capital determines a person's confidence in speaking.
