Chapter 645 Who Are You Discriminating Against?

"Mr. Li, are you okay?"

After the police car left, Jeff and Gary got out of the car and walked to Li Ye to ask for comfort.

If this were in China, they would at least have their wages deducted. The boss is already in trouble. Why don't you come over and help make peace? Why don't you sit in the car and pretend to be the boss?

But that’s what lighthouses are like. Don’t open car doors or get out of the car at will in front of patrol officers, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Li Ye smiled and shook his head: "We're fine. He suspected that we didn't have a driver's license."

Jeff and Gary both laughed, and Gary said: "I have heard about the magic of the Orientals before, but the first time I saw you and your two companions, I was still very surprised.

Are you really not going to grow old? I really envy you."

"Of course not, everyone gets old."

Li Ye smiled, and then suddenly said: "I would like to ask you two, in the minds of you Lighthouse people, which car will make people subconsciously feel that I have a private lawyer? And he is a very powerful lawyer."

"."

Jeff and Gary's smiles were a little awkward.

Although Li Ye said these words with a smile, they could all understand - the young man was unhappy and unhappy with the color discrimination in Beacon.

In Beacon, color discrimination exists objectively, but it is "strictly prohibited." Anyone who shows a tendency to discriminate against color is a serious problem and may be severely prosecuted and criticized.

Of course, the prerequisite for prosecution is that one must be able to afford outrageously high legal fees.

On this blue planet, there is no country where lawyers are as popular and sought after as Beacon’s lawyers.

In 1985, Beacon had 650,000 practicing lawyers.

It is said that in Washington, a city with the highest density of lawyers, there is one lawyer among 13 people on average, so much so that a singer named Paxton even sang a song - "Millions of Lawyers."

"There's a lawyer in every restaurant, there's a lawyer in every club, there's a lawyer behind every door."

It can be seen from this that Beacon’s lawyer charging standards will not be “people-friendly”, otherwise these lawyers would have starved to death.

And now Li Ye downplays that he wants to have a "powerful private lawyer", does he obviously mean "not short of money"?

And who is this lawyer used to deal with? Needless to say?

For example, just now, if Li Ye feels that he has been unfairly treated, the lawyer will list a long list of issues that can be complained about based on the patrolman's walking posture, tone of voice, gestures with both hands, etc. , it will bore you to death even if it bothers you to death.

Jeff thought for a while and said: "In Beacon, Mercedes-Benz sells well, but our locals have a soft spot for certain brands, such as Cadillac or Bentley, which are also suitable."

Cadillac was still very popular in the 1980s, but Jeff couldn't figure out Li Ye's spending habits. One Bentley could buy at least five Cadillacs. He didn't know whether Li Ye was willing to spend that money.

But Li Ye was very surprised and said: "Shouldn't it be the Mustang? Especially the GT500 one, I heard it is very popular."

Li Ye once watched a movie starring Nicolas Cage. The wild Mustang in it and the long legs of the heroine Julie were very eye-catching, and Li Ye heard that the lighthouse people have a unique way of treating Mustangs. The plot, that’s why I ask this question.

"Oh~, Mr. Li, you are discerning, but..."

After Jeff smiled, he said cryptically: "That kind of car is a troublemaker, full of uncertainties, and attracts the attention of patrolmen as soon as it gets on the road, so if you want to avoid some trouble, I don't recommend it. Mustang.”

"."

Li Ye was stunned for a moment, but also smiled.

This is a beacon of "it makes sense to have fewer foreigners". This is not the mainland where you buy a Ferrari but are reluctant to race.

The real Mustang is only suitable for the grassland. A car like the Mustang GT500, which looks unruly at first glance, is born to violate traffic rules. If the police don't look at you, who are they looking at?

"Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Jeff."

Li Ye thanked Jeff seriously, and before leaving, he ordered: "Mr. Jeff, please help me hire a lawyer, at least one who is well-known in the San Francisco area.

In addition, buy a few mobile phones for both you and Gary, so that you can use the new company's accounts. "

"mobile phone?"

Jeff was stunned for a moment before he caught up with Li Ye's turning point of thought.

If Li Ye had a phone just now, he could contact him immediately and avoid some trouble.

Then Jeff said, "Mr. Lee, are you talking about 'shoulder phone'?"

Li Ye said strangely: "A phone on your shoulder?"

Jeff nodded and said: "Last year, the motorcycle company successfully developed a portable phone that weighs about three kilograms. It is usually carried like a backpack, so it is nicknamed the 'shoulder phone'."

"But that phone isn't widely available now, and it doesn't work in many places here in San Francisco."

Li Ye suddenly understood.

He only knew that mobile phones developed rapidly in the late 1980s, but he did not know the specific details.

Although the patent for mobile phones was registered in 1973, it was not until 1987 that a mobile phone with a shape similar to that of a modern mobile phone was born.

That phone weighed just one and a half kilograms, like a brick, and was commonly known as "Big Brother".

So Li Ye said: "Mr. Jeff, I think the prospect of mobile phones is also very good. If you have time, please pay more attention to it. Whether it is a company that manufactures phones or a company that provides signal services, they are all good investment targets."

Jeff is very dedicated and immediately asked Gary: "Gary, are there any investment opportunities in mobile phones in Silicon Valley?"

Gary looked at Li Ye unexpectedly, nodded and said: "There are indeed several companies in Silicon Valley that are engaged in related research. I will organize the information and give it to you for discussion later."

Gary felt a little pressured because his value is familiar with Silicon Valley, but why does this young man seem to be familiar with Silicon Valley?

After Li Ye separated from Jeff and Gary, he thought to himself: "So that's the case, it's not too late."

It is January 1986, and the first mobile phone was launched in 1987. If it is operated properly, it may not lag behind too much.

. . . . . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Li Ye returned to the hotel and first found the hotel manager and asked him to help rent two cars.

The hotel quickly provided a detailed car rental catalog for Li Ye to choose from, and said that the car rental staff who were connected could come to provide services at any time.

"You two can choose! By the way, remember to rent an extra pickup truck. I'll call Zhen Rongrong to ask if she wants to send something today."

Li Ye threw the choice to Fu Yiruo and Wen Leyu, and called Zhen Rongrong himself.

Because of He Dazhuang's "encouragement", almost all of Li Ye's classmates brought gifts to Zhen Rongrong. There were several large packages for dozens of people, and the trunk of an ordinary car could not be filled.

This is because Li Ye is not short of money. If it were someone else, he might have thrown it to him outside the airport.

"Sister-in-law, do you think we should save money? Or rent a better one?"

Fu Yiruo took the car rental catalog and asked Wen Leyu for her opinion.

Li Ye's Ferrari in Hong Kong Island was basically driven by this sister, so she was very clear about the hidden value of a luxury car.

But Fu Yiruo also knew that Wen Leyu, the sister-in-law, was more "thrifty", so she could only use her fingers to constantly swipe around the catalog of several luxury cars, and did not dare to directly shout "I want to drive a good car, you little rich woman, don't be too stingy."

But Wen Leyu said lightly: "Didn't your brother say that? Only choose the expensive ones, not the right ones."

"Okay, sister-in-law is really wise."

"."

Wen Leyu is not wise, but gradually understands this country where "money can do whatever it wants".

Just like Li Ye's initial stay in this well-known hotel, it seems that he spent much more than other hotels for accommodation, but the hotel provides a variety of comprehensive services.

It's just a small matter to call the car rental company to deliver the car to the door. It's even said that if you encounter any trouble in San Francisco, you can get some help and support by calling this hotel.

And for the sake of good reputation, the hotel will not blackmail you to death in one fell swoop.

. . . . . . . . . . .

Four o'clock in the afternoon, the dormitory of the University of California, Berkeley College.

Zhen Rongrong was standing at the window of the dormitory looking out.

Li Ye called her two hours ago and said that he would send the gifts given to her by her classmates, but they have not arrived yet.

Zhen Rongrong looked down at the watch and began to feel a little anxious.

Although she said coldly last night that she "didn't want to care about Ruan Shujun anymore", this morning, she couldn't help but begging Ruan Shujun. Thinking that she was indeed weak after giving birth, she could only agree to take her place for a few more days.

But the Cao's Restaurant in Chinatown had to start work at 5:30. Now it was 4 o'clock and Li Ye hadn't arrived yet. If he was late, it would be almost a waste of time.

[Is he going to take me by car again today? ]

Zhen Rongrong frowned slightly. Although it was indeed convenient to take Li Ye's car, she always felt uncomfortable with Wen Leyu in the car.

"Ding~"

While Zhen Rongrong was distracted, a horn sounded outside the window.

Zhen Rongrong looked out and was stunned.

Because the pickup truck was full of packages, with customs marks on them, obviously all gifts brought to her from China.

How much luggage fee does this cost?

Ruan Shujun, who was lying on the bed, noticed something strange, propped herself up and asked, "Rongrong, what's wrong?"

Zhen Rongrong murmured, "My classmate brought me a gift in a pickup truck."

"Pickup truck? What are you thinking about?"

Ruan Shujun lay back down and muttered in a low voice, "Only poor people drive pickup trucks! You have to be careful, Rongrong, don't be fooled by him. Now many boys like to play hard to get. They obviously want to pursue you, but they act like they don't care."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Zhen Rongrong, who has always been good-tempered, suddenly got angry, pulled off Ruan Shujun's quilt, and said sternly, "Ruan Shujun, why do you always despise the poor and love the rich? Who are you discriminating against? Are you discriminating against your compatriots?"
