Reborn America, this is my time

Chapter 3 We are a family
After the original owner's parents passed away one after another, Ethan Jones, who became an orphan, was adopted by his father's sister and his aunt.It was because of the careful care of his aunt and uncle that Ethan Jones did not grow crooked in the big dye vat of the beautiful country.

As for the fact that their nephew messed up Mi Luohua's business, the two couples never cared about it.In their view, the pressure given by Mi Luohua is all intimidation in the workplace!It is an incompetent leader who tries to keep his position by letting his subordinates take the blame after doing everything wrong!When the immediate leader doesn't care about the subordinate employees, then this shit company doesn't care!
Therefore, when they learned that their nephew Ethan was fired, they were happier than anyone else!
Uncle Thomas found his own white wine, pulled out half of the cork, and then pulled it out with his teeth. At this point in the middle of the day, he filled the glasses in front of Ethan, his wife, and himself.

Aunt Linda didn't want to lag behind, and brought the steak, pasta, mashed potatoes and cream of mushroom soup that had been prepared to the table.

Then I improvised the pot and made some fried chicken, French fries and onion rings.

Then, with fresh lettuce, tomato, avocado and other ingredients, I mixed a large pot of vegetable salad for everyone.

"It's really rich, thank you, Aunt Linda."

Although for Chinese food, the dishes in front of me are really monotonous, but in Western food, this is already top-notch.

"Oh, baby, you don't have to be so polite." Aunt Linda smiled and waved her hands.

"That's right, we are all a family, so don't be so polite, and we are really happy for you now." Uncle Thomas raised his glass and looked at his wife, "Shall we toast to Ethan's relief?"

"Cheers, cheers!" Aunt Linda responded happily.

Ethan also raised his glass with a smile, "Thank you."

Gallo Winery is the largest family-owned winery in America and one of the largest wine producers in the world.

The Riesling brought out by Uncle Thomas is a semi-dry wine. After the mouth, the refreshing taste mixed with lilies, peaches, apricots and lemons makes people feel that they are not drinking, but drinking.

If paired with spicy and greasy food...

Wow!

The life of eating fried chicken and drinking wine is really cool!
Ethan just smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Such a situation also made Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas very happy. After drinking a bottle, they opened another bottle. They didn't care about Ethan's future until their cheeks turned red.

"Ethan, we have actually been mentally prepared for your layoff, so when it really happens, you should have some ideas about your future, right?"

Aunt Linda put her elbows on the table and asked with a smile, "Are you still not interested in studying? To be honest, I think it is a waste of your talent if you don't study. If I remember correctly, when you took the academic aptitude test before, you got Score over 1200? This score can get you into a good university."

The academic aptitude test that Aunt Linda was referring to was actually the SAT, the college admissions test in America.

The original owner of the body had taken the test before and scored 1600 out of 1213 points.

Although it doesn't seem like much, in the year he took the test, the highest SAT score on the UC admissions list was 1280.

To be honest, applying to university is not just about SAT scores, but also a series of things that prove your excellence, such as recommendation letters, extracurricular honors, etc. However, with a score of 1213, it is still easy to go to university.

It's a pity that people don't want to.

And now Ethan...

Travelers go to school?

What a joke!

It's not that he has no memory!
"I am sorry, Aunt Linda, I have let you down, and I may not change my original decision for the time being." Ethan apologized.

"If you don't want to go to school, don't go!"

Before Aunt Linda could express her regret, Uncle Thomas spoke first.

"What's so good about studying? It's just that the capitalists use the excuse of education to plunder our wealth! After paying the high tuition fees, you have to learn everything by yourself. Your social status cannot be improved instantly. It is a painful thing, and spending money to study is a double torture! So, Ethan, I support you, if you don’t want to study, then come and see the orchard with me. You know, our orchard can earn [-] to [-] US dollars a year What! It’s much more than those white-collar workers!”

Yes, the occupations of Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas are actually farmers.

They own nearly a hundred acres of land growing navel oranges.

There are almost 290 to 310 tons of output per year, all of which are sold to Asia by underwriting companies. The selling price per ton fluctuates between [-] US dollars and [-] US dollars. After excluding all costs, they can earn [-] to [-] a year. , which is actually quite simple.

but……

Although the florist's natural skill is farming, but Ethan is not going to farm now.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Thomas, when I feel lost about my future, I will definitely embrace the land."

The tactful refusal made Uncle Thomas purse his lips.

He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

"Alright, I respect your choice."

"Your temper is very similar to that of your mother in heaven. I think that if she and your father are present at this moment, they will support your decision. I mean it."

"I understand." Ethan nodded with a smile.

"Then can you tell us about your future plans?" The husband compromised, and Aunt Linda didn't struggle, she said curiously: "Of course, if it involves your personal privacy, you don't have to say it." .”

"Oh..." This question made Ethan think for a few seconds, and then said: "I want to share with you, but I only have a little idea at the moment, and I haven't made it into a complete plan, so... "

"Then we'll talk when you think about it." Uncle Thomas was very decisive. "Anytime, anywhere, as long as you need it, you can come to us, whether it's talking to you or asking for money, huh?"

"Yeah~" Ethan thanked earnestly, "I know, We are a family."

"Snapped!"

Uncle Thomas snapped his fingers happily.

With the end of the topic, the three of them enjoyed lunch happily.

After eating and drinking enough, Ethan took the initiative to clean up the mess and let Aunt Linda and Uncle Thomas, who had been busy all morning, have a good rest.

After cleaning the dining room and the kitchen, Ethan stepped on the creaking floor and returned to his room on the second floor.

Filling the bathtub with water, he soaked in it directly as he wanted to wash away his fatigue.

In fact, Ethan was just able to answer Uncle Thomas' question.

Because in the past two months, while adapting to the surrounding environment, he was also looking for opportunities to make money in this era.

In his previous life, he was a migrant worker who made a living in the financial circle.

Therefore, it is his instinct to manage his old business and buy stocks.

And under his search, he also found two stocks suitable for buying now.

One is McDonald's, which went public in 1970, and the other is Wal-Mart, which went public in 1972.

The prices of these two stocks are quite low now.According to Ethan's calculations, if each buys 2023 US dollars, and then holds it until [-], then these two stocks can bring more than a thousand times the return.

To be honest, this discovery made Ethan very excited.

After all, no one can deny the fact of sudden wealth.

But when he really took action, he discovered two hidden problems.

The first problem is objective factors. The trading mode of buying and selling stocks in this era is very unsafe.

Just like the stock trading plot in Hollywood movies, stock trading in this era is all done offline.

The purchaser needs to inform the stock brokerage company where he or she is optimistic about the stock he opened an account for, and inform the other party of his psychological price and quantity, and then the stock brokerage company will send the customer's demand for placing an order to the traders on the exchange, and they and those Other traders willing to sell shares negotiate on-site to close an agency deal.

Because of the occlusion of information, this transaction mode is very prone to securities fraud and price fraud.

Junk debt king Michael Milken's old club was found to have such problems when it went bankrupt in the 90s.

The second problem is the subjective factor. If he does this, he will be old when he becomes a billionaire.

If you become rich after time-traveling, you have to get old to achieve it.

That price was unacceptable to him.

You know, this is America in the 70s!

In the era when computers were not popular, the Internet was not yet born, and the mobile Internet was even missing...

Everywhere is gold!
In the words of Rebs, the moment is the outlet of the times!

A pig stood on it—

That!All!able!fly!
In this era, as a time traveler, he needs to accumulate wealth through time?
Isn't this embarrassing to thousands of compatriots!

As for what to say, he is a financial person who doesn't understand technology?

Well this...

Soaked in warm water, the tired Ethan soon fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the cold feeling made him shiver.

Get up quickly, wipe it clean, the skin of the fingers that has been soaked is like a field ridge, twisted and ugly.

But the face...

Well, great!As handsome as Tom Cruise!

After getting dressed and returning to the bedroom, the clock hanging on the wall was reddish red by the setting sun.

"Five o'clock? I slept in the bathtub for three hours?"

Ethan sighed while blowing his head.

And just when he was thinking about what he was thinking before falling asleep, suddenly, the roar of a car pierced into his ears from far to near.

After it disappeared, a delicate voice suddenly appeared.

"Dad~? Linda~? I am back~"
