Rebirth of America, this is my time

After buying the car, Ethan still had 120,000 in cash.

This asset made him want to buy a house of his own.

There is no way, who has made him feel that there is no place for him in this family now?

He can be robbed in his orchard! After calling for help, no one cared about him!

This kind of indifference really chilled him!

Okay, no more skin.

The reason why he really wants to move out is because, as mentioned before, his life is not suitable.

Before, when Evelin lived at home, the corresponding discomfort might have been reduced, but now, after Evelin had moved out, Ethan really felt that his position at home was a bit awkward.

Therefore, after returning home that night, he told Thomas and Linda his thoughts, and both of them expressed their understanding and support. However, they also had a little selfishness in choosing the location of their new home.

Thomas rubbed his hands and said sincerely——

"Ethan, if you really want to buy a house, I personally hope you can settle down in Palo Alto."

"Isn't the villa next to Evelin on sale? Just buy that one."

"This way, we can take care of each other."

"You know, I have never been in favor of her moving out, because it is indeed dangerous for a girl to live alone outside, especially since our place is very close to San Francisco and Oakland."

"And those two sides are really chaotic."

"I don't know if you've watched the news. On the fifth of this month, there was another shooting in California, and it was caused by the Manson family?"

"If it were anything else, I probably wouldn't be worried, but the Manson family..."

Thomas pursed his lips, looking worried.

And Ethan also heard a little about what he said.

The Manson Family is an XJ organization active near San Francisco. It has been committing crimes since the late 1960s. They once broke into the home of Hollywood actress Sharon Tate and took her, her unborn child, and her four children. A friend was stabbed to death, and one of them had more than 50 wounds on his body. He also broke into the home of California billionaire Reno LaBianca and tortured and killed him, his wife, and their daughter. When the police arrived at the scene, the victim was still provocatively stabbed with a table knife in his throat and stomach.

And these two cases are only the most famous, not well-known cases, there are several others, such as the case of breaking into the home of a female music teacher at the University of California and committing crimes, which is even more horrifying.

Because these people like to prey on young women, during those years, women who lived alone were really attracted to Manson.

Because their criminal methods were so cruel, the family was eliminated by the California police and Ferber in the 1970s. But who would have expected that on the fifth of this month, members of the Manson family showed up again. , and this time...

They actually attacked Midai Zong.

Although in the United States, it is a common occurrence for generals to be assassinated, but even in general, when the assassination incident collides with the Manson family, all ordinary people are worried about their own safety.

After all, no one knows how many members of the Manson Family have escaped justice!

And Ethan...

He didn't know if the members of the Manson Family would continue to commit crimes, but he knew that Midai Zong was in a miserable state. If nothing happened, he would have another accident this month, and the location would be San Francisco, California.

No way, who made him the first American commander in history to be assassinated twice in a row?

It was precisely because he knew that the safety of this poor place in the United States was worrying, so Ethan agreed to the old man's request.

"Okay, then I'll go take a look tomorrow."

To be honest, Ethan originally wanted to live closer to Evelin, because this way, it would be easier to find him if anything happened in the future.

And his words also made Thomas and Linda express their thanks.

After reconfirming the target, the next day, Ethan went around the place where Evelin now lived, copied the numbers on the boards for sale, and called them directly after returning home.

Since both parties were willing to trade, all the details were finalized in just two days.

The 6,600-square-foot villa was acquired by Ethan for US$182,000.

At first, Ethan wanted a loan because he had a tax record of more than two years and belonged to a group with excellent credit and income. Whether it was Bank of America, Wells Fargo or other banks, they could get it for him. A loan contract with a down payment of 5%. But when Ethan discovered that the bank's loan interest rate had been raised to 8.5% due to stagflation, he immediately chose to borrow money from Thomas.

He, Ethan, is rich, but not sick!

With a loan interest rate of 8.5%, only a ghost would borrow it!

The point is that their family doesn’t have any money, right? Ask Thomas to help fill the gap today, and wait up to two weeks. After the dividends from "Snake Game" come out, Ethan can pay him back.

Since there is no financial pressure, Ethan cannot let the bank make money from him!

After solving these things, Ethan only felt relaxed.

He has only traveled through time for half a year and already has a car and a house?

Hey! It’s such a comfortable life!

Ethan spent the next few days shopping for furniture for his new home.

After he decorated his villa, the time also came on September 16th.

The Western Electronics Exhibition was officially held in San Francisco.

As a shareholder of Chuck Paido Company, Ethan naturally wanted to join in the fun.

However, when he arrived at the exhibition, he discovered a problem, that is, he was somewhat out of tune with his surroundings.

At this moment, he was dressed very casually, wearing a black T-shirt and jeans. He was all about being comfortable. But what about the guys next to him? They were all wearing suits and ties. No matter how hot the weather was, they just took off their suit jackets, revealing their clean white shirts.

This fact puzzled Ethan.

And when he asked Chuck Paido why these people were dressed so seriously, the guy revealed the content of the exhibition——

"Ethan, don't you know? This exhibition is organized by IEEE and is a large-scale academic exchange platform. Basically, those who come here are members of IEEE or do research in electrical and electronics. Since everyone is here If you are discussing technology or academic matters, you will naturally have to dress more formally."

'oh……'

‘So that’s it? ’

After wandering around for a while, Ethan felt that it was not interesting.

Although Ethan understood every word these people said, when combined, he couldn't understand it.

For example, someone was introducing their own chips, and after listening to the entire discussion, Ethan only understood one thing called packaging semiconductor technology. Another example was that someone was showing off his own equipment. After listening, Ethan Sen only knew that their product was called a charge coupler.

As for the rest?

Do not understand!

‘Why do I feel like I’m here to suffer? ’

After asking Chuck Paido, he learned that the introduction of MOS 6502 would be held on the afternoon of the 18th. At that time, the organizer would give them a small podium and fifteen minutes of lecture time. Ethan and Chuck Ke Paido said hello and said he would come back on the afternoon of the 18th, and then...

Then he slipped away.

Because he doesn't want to torture himself.

And just when Ethan was thinking about where he should go to have some fun before MOS 6502 was officially preached, as soon as he got home, he found two young men in suits and ties standing at the door of his villa.

"Hello, Sir, how can I help?" Ethan opened the car window and asked.

The two young men looked at each other and then came closer.

"Excuse me, are you Ethan Jones?" one of the men asked.

"Yeah~" Ethan nodded and said, "Who are you?"

The affirmative answer made them laugh.

Then, the man who asked Ethan's identity opened his briefcase, took out a business card from it, and showed it in front of Ethan, "Mr. Jones, we are the lawyers of Sidley Austin's California branch."

"At the request of my employer, Mi Luohua, I am hereby delivering to you a copy of the court's summons and complaint."

Having said that, he took out another document bag from his briefcase and showed it in front of Ethan.

The document bag was transparent, so Ethan could clearly see the words on it.

When the header of the San Francisco, California, court appeared, Ethan's eyebrows also furrowed.

‘Am I being sued? ’

‘And the plaintiff is still Mi Luohua? ’

‘Fuck! What the hell is this! ’

Ethan looked puzzled.

Note: ① Sharon Tate is very famous. She has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and is the wife of Roman Polanski, the director of "The Pianist". ② IEEE is the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, and the Western Electronics Exhibition is organized by them. It is academic in nature, not sales in nature. ③The subpoenas in the United States are different from ours. We regard the service of subpoenas as a judicial act, while in the United States, they regard it as a private act. Generally, the plaintiff’s lawyer is responsible for serving it. Then, the methods of service are actually varied. Previously, New York The Supreme Court in Manhattan allows the plaintiff's lawyer to use Facebook private messages to serve subpoenas. The defendant responds or the plaintiff's lawyer sends private messages for three consecutive weeks. If one of the two is met, the subpoena is served. This kind of direct door-to-door behavior is relatively common in the United States.
