America 1982-Chapter 632 - 144: The Reason Kane Fan Converted to Buddhism_2

"Her schedule during her stay in America is pretty relaxed, right?" Tommy sighed, turning to Charles.

Charles didn’t nod, just looked at Tommy with a smile in his eyes, "It depends, it can be relaxed, or it can be the opposite."

"For example?"

"We’re considering, according to the dates, to have the First Ladies of the United States and the Soviet Union both attend the graduation ceremony at a women’s college of some university, deliver speeches, and afterwards, have representatives from the school spend the next four hours discussing with the two First Ladies about the status and development of women in modern society. I think you’d be interested, those are four uninterrupted hours."

Tommy nodded, "Okay, how much would it cost me to play gigolo to two old ladies with my mouth for four hours?"

"Some interests of AmigOS in Europe and the Soviet Union, I mean, if you agree, Mrs. Barbara Bush would be very willing to help WinStar push certain projects in Eastern Europe or the Soviet Union, outside those four hours, very willing."

"That thing hasn’t even hit the market, who told her it’s going to make money?" Jason interjected dissatisfied.

Charles turned his gaze to Jason, lightly tapped the lapel pin on his suit, "Me, I told her that it doesn’t matter whether it makes money or not, the burning money phase is already over, we can’t miss out on making money, it’s just a matter of making more or less."

"Why the hell don’t you just have the President and his wife send a moving company to take everything here back to their place, Charles."

Charles picked up his coffee and took a sip, speaking lightly, "If you really could decide everything as you just boasted, you could have said no to me, Jason. As far as I know, Microsoft is very interested, had it not been for the previous good cooperation with the Murdoch Group, I wouldn’t be here."

"Tommy, what should we do? This is quite different from our internal discussions," Jason said, no longer pretending in front of Charles that he could decide everything and turned to Tommy.

"KeyBank and the Peace Corps of America, you didn’t mention those, right?" Tommy rubbed his face vigorously, looking at Charles.

Charles nodded slightly, "Of course."

"Thanks, I mean, no problem," Tommy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Charles’s words, "The launch of AmigOS will happen before the Gorbachev couple’s visit to America. Which university’s graduation ceremony will have the good fortune to be graced by the attendance of the two First Ladies, can I know now?"

"Currently considering Wellesley College in Massachusetts."

"You’re a damn tease, Charles, your girlfriend must be dying of pleasure in your hands!" Tommy showed his middle finger in a grin to Charles after learning the name of the college, then turned to Page in the corner and said:

"Page, go out and have Sophia find out what projects Robert Keohan, Professor of International Political Economy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, needs funding for; ask him how much research funding it would take for my heavily pregnant girlfriend to gain some legitimate titles from Wellesley College... wait, don’t bother Ottilia, switch to Ms. Delia Keys, I wouldn’t want my angel to ruin the good mood of the old ladies with her young, beautiful face and smooth skin." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Page, leaning against the wall, stood up and left the conference room.

After watching Page leave, Tommy turned back to face Charles and Jason, "So, we need to have some old men like Page by our side, and old women like Delia. I like Delia, in her forties, still has charm in bed, always has a way to get my stick up whenever I want, and she wouldn’t cause too much hostility from the First Ladies. Just give her some stern clothing, keep her up for a couple of nights, and make her up plain, and she can instantly become the kind of harmless friend of the same sex that the First Ladies would love. Also, I will make VOX broadcast the speeches of the two First Ladies worldwide for free."

"What’s the connection between the women’s college and the Stanford professor?" Jason asked Tommy, puzzled.

Charles spoke up, "The professor’s wife used to work at Stanford University too, serving as the chair of the faculty review committee, and was seriously recommended by Stanford University to become the president of that women’s college eight years ago. In the American university education circles, she’s really part of the Stanford faction."

"Which means?"

"Which means that your donations to Stanford University could also make that college look favorably upon you."

Charles didn’t have much time to linger on campus memories at Stanford and after getting the response from Tommy and Jason, he stood up and left to return to Washington. After seeing Charles off, Tommy quickly continued the meeting discussion with Jason, Susy, and Ted on the operating system release. Jason was still dissatisfied with Charles’s big appetite:

"Shareholders might be unhappy, Tommy, I mean if one day you can’t pull out the money again, they could use that as a reason to utterly destroy you. If AmigaOS is successful, that’s a huge profit, so huge that every money-loving person would feel the pain."

With a cigarette in his hand, Tommy replied, "We can make it back, Jason, the only thing unusual about me is that if I want, I can fucking excrete money twenty-four hours a day. If Stephen, Benjamin, and the others really come knocking, it’s simple. Tell them, just slightly squeeze the cost of their computer hardware sales in Europe and the Soviet Union, like switching from Intel 386 to AMD 386, and they can easily save a ton of money."
