Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 592 Luxurious enjoyment of ski resort

……

Masako Wada was born in a family of professional diplomats. Although she was born in Tokyo, Japan, she moved to Moscow, the Soviet Union when she was two years old with her father's work, and moved to New York, the United States when she was five years old.

The current school experience began when Masako Wada’s father became a visiting professor at Harvard University, so she came to the United States in 1979 and was a sophomore in Boston.

After that, Masako Wada's father's working relationship changed again, but she did not follow along, but continued to study at Harvard until now.

Therefore, Wada Masako, who has been at home all over the world since she was a child, is far more experienced than her peers. She has inherited her family education as a diplomat and is proficient in English, French, Russian and German.

Teacher Tang has already tested this point at the dinner table, and of course, he also took the opportunity to find out the details of the other party.

It is undeniable that compared to other oriental women he met before, Masako Wada gave Tang Huan a fresh impression. The wildness beyond the traditional gentleness and elegance made him feel itchy.

This trait should be tempered by his active participation in school club activities. The other party is an active member, so good that he has even become Japan's business card in the Boston area.

Seeing the admiration flashing in the other's eyes from time to time, Tang Huan temporarily put away his aura of learning and wealth, and shifted the main topic from the graduation thesis advice to the post-graduation career plan mentioned earlier.

"Masako's family background, after graduating from Harvard University, if you go back to Japan to apply for civil servants, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be the first target."

"My father wants me to have a stable job, but the competition for Japanese civil servants is very fierce, so I'm not sure."

The two are not homeboys and homegirls who are isolated from the social field, but are very active, and the topics of conversation naturally deepen a bit.

"As far as I know, the workplace atmosphere in Japan is not as relaxed and free as that in the United States. Especially for working women, they need to face more tests, which may even affect the development of their talents."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan smiled slightly and revealed his ultimate goal, "My assistant team is recruiting talents who are proficient in multiple foreign languages. I think Masako is very suitable for such a position. Why not give yourself another choice."

Wada Masako looked hesitant, "I noticed this open recruitment event, but my family wants me to return to Japan."

"My assistant team often travels with me around the world, and Japan is also an important stop." Tang Huan had already figured out the other party's interests and hobbies, so he slightly emphasized the word "travel", which really made her Much moved.

"How about this, you come to my assistant team for an internship first." Tang Huan waved freely, "I recently had a meeting, which was arranged in Aspen, Colorado. The ski resort there is very famous. You Why don’t you come and see if the travel I’m talking about is true.”

"Is it still suitable for skiing now?" Wada Masako asked with stares, and immediately threw all kinds of concerns including the thesis out of the blue.

Seeing that the lollipop successfully lured the little girl, Tang Huan nodded with a smile, "Of course, as long as we act quickly, we might still catch up with the snow there."

……

Colorado, located in the west of the United States, is famous for having the highest peak of the Rocky Mountains - Mount Elbert. Its terrain rises from the plains on the east side to steep mountains on the west side. The geographical landscape is very magnificent. There are also a large number of resorts suitable for alpine skiing, and Aspen, which has a long history of development, is such a place.

This typical American ski town is connected to four unique ski mountains, namely Aspen Mountain, Buttermilk, Aspen Highlands and Snowmass.

Among them, the Aspen Mountain Ski Resort belongs to the Aspen Ski Company under the name of Tang Huan, and this company, along with [-]th Century Fox, has invested in the arms of the richest man.

It has to be said that Twentieth Century Fox did have a lot of side businesses at the beginning, including Pebble Beach Golf Course, Aspen Ski Company, Fox Plaza, etc., and Disney developed theme parks, and Warner entered the video game market. , has the same purpose.

This is the first time for Tang Huan to inspect his own ski resort. Although it is not the best skiing season now, the temperature range from minus seven degrees to minus seven degrees, as well as the good snowfall, still make it possible to maintain the place it should be The standard did not dampen his interest.

The guests are mainly from the defense and foreign affairs of the US political circles, as well as representatives of arms dealers, such as former US Deputy Secretary of Defense, former US Secretary of the Navy, and US President Ronald Reagan's special adviser Paul Nietzsche.

This person participated in the formulation of Cold War policies in several US administrations. For example, in May 1950, he formulated a "hypothetical" plan, that is, if Sun Liren launched a military coup, he would help him replace Lao Jiang. The destroyer USS Nietzsche in service was named in his honor.

The reason why the situation in Funan has come to this day is that apart from Tang Huan, who was in a key position and time, rich and willful, the main reason is that he also has inextricably complex relationships with such powerful factions.

Tang Huan received the news not long ago that his uncle will visit the United States as the head of the administration at an optional time, so his frontier field is not only economics, but also politics.

Aspen, the quiet ski resort, is obviously perfect for whispering.

Of course, there are also entertainment programs.The famous country music composer and singer John Denver—John Denver, was invited by Tang Huan to perform on stage at the club where everyone stayed.

John Denver was a smash hit in the 1970s and was dubbed "Colorado's Poet Laureate."

When Premier Deng visited the United States in 1979, he watched his performance wearing a cowboy hat at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.

Not long after, he came to China to visit and perform on tour, and wrote the song "Shanghai's Breeze" after the trip, and then became one of the most familiar American country singers to Chinese audiences.

To a large extent, Aspen, which was originally famous for producing silver, has turned into a ski resort and is known as the cultural capital of American skiing, thanks to John Denver and American journalist, essayist, novelist HunterStocktonThompson ——Hunter Stockton Thompson These celebrities have added a literary style to the local area.

And the person who funded this change was the American industrialist and philanthropist Walter Paepcke—Walter Paepcke, Paul Nietzsche's brother-in-law.

Sometimes it must be admitted that some American businessmen are really ideal—perhaps similar to the Confucian businessmen in China. Walter Pepkey tried to create a utopian social structure in Aspen, and thus formed a The unique social style of the surrounding area.

In addition to founding the Aspen Ski Company and hosting the 1950 Alpine Skiing World Championships, Walter Pepkey also founded the Aspen Music Festival and School, and a well-known elite organization, the Aspen Institute.

It's a pity that in 1960, Walter Pepkey returned home at the age of 64, otherwise I don't know what else he can do.

In fact, among the wealthy Americans, there are not a few people with personalities like Walter Pepkey.

Therefore, Tang Huan's actions against Funan did not exceed the cognition of the American elite power class, and hit the key point of their psychology that they wanted to find a place in the hated Indochina Peninsula but had nowhere to start, and then naturally helped This aspiring rich man gets things done.

Since everyone made a special trip to the remote place of Aspen, the things they said were naturally not humane. After opening with a relaxing entertainment program, they took the time to communicate behind closed doors.

After obtaining acceptable results, Tang Huan had time to enjoy the fun of skiing.

While fiddling with the ski equipment Masako Wada brought for him, he joked, "How does the internship feel, and does it match your ideal?"

"I feel that the pace of work is too fast, and I have no idea." Masako Wada answered honestly.

Tang Huan laughed loudly, "It's almost the same when you become a civil servant, and the atmosphere must be more depressing than mine."

While chatting, Tang Huan and Masako Wada went up the mountain after the equipment was completed.

Skiing is not a sport that can be described as approachable.First of all, the site requirements are harsh, and the construction investment is huge; second, a set of equipment including ski boots, snowboards, etc., is not cheap.

Rich people like Tang Huan, even if they can't go skiing a few times a year, will have their own set of expensive equipment; ordinary consumers often rent out equipment to reduce the cost of equipment.

The Aspen Mountain Ski Resort has no ski trails suitable for beginners, but there are nearly half of the intermediate ski trails. Tang Huan and Wada Masako chose this grade of ski trails to gallop down from the top of the mountain.

The richest man is not so anxious to engage in bloody plots on this occasion. If you have to sit in a wheelchair to board the plane, it will be a big joke in the world. Just concentrate on enjoying the fun of sports. Anyway, this process can also enhance " Friendship" is not.

The living conditions on the snow-capped mountains are not only unsuitable for simplicity, but also luxurious enough to test people's imagination.

In the hotel like a 19th-century manor, leather and wooden beams can be seen everywhere, recalling the prosperity of the silver mining era.

Guests can get a full range of ski concierge services here-from snowshoe warmth, equipment storage, rental, maintenance, waxing, to site changes, snacks, sunscreen supply, everything in every possible way.

The purely artificial free-range and processed ingredients from small farms in Colorado have the best quality and freshness;

After eating such a delicious and calorie-enough food in the morning, you can go up the mountain and enjoy the fun of skiing.

After returning in the evening, grab a cup of hot chocolate and sit in front of the warm fireplace to rest.

In the bedroom with its antique oak floor, the soft canopy bed with a curved leather headboard, luxurious plush fabrics and gorgeous colors everywhere.

These antique beds, despite their old-fashioned appearance, are not lacking in modern comforts - who knows who sleeps on them.

Even here, you can experience the comfort of a heated outdoor swimming pool and hot tub.

The strong contrast between the difficult environment and luxurious enjoyment fully embodies the charm of wealth.

The reserved Masako Wada, after being persuaded by Tang Huan to enter the warm water swimming pool, couldn't help admiring. When she went to Europe to travel and ski during the holidays, she never thought that the ski resort would have such an experience.

Seeing the other party's looming silhouette, Tang Huan smiled noncommittally, thinking that you are a "poor traveler", can you compare with the quality of a billionaire's vacation?

……

No matter how fruitful a vacation is, no matter how wonderful it feels, there is an end to it.

Masako Wada, who has been attracted by the assistant job, temporarily returned to Harvard University to complete her graduation thesis; Tang Huan returned to the warm and pleasant San Francisco from the ice and snow.

At the 3th Academy Awards held on March 25, the biographical film "Amadeus" - "Mozart" released by Orion Films won 57 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, With 11 awards including Best Actor and Best Original Adaptation, he became the biggest winner of this year's Academy Awards competition.

The film invested 1800 million U.S. dollars, and the North American box office was more than 5000 million U.S. dollars. In the 8th week of its release, it ranked No. 6, which is also its highest record.

There was even an episode at the Oscar Awards Ceremony. The famous British actor Lawrence Olivier, who became the first husband and wife pair of Oscar winner and actress with Vivien Leigh in American film history, took the stage and presented the most important award for best performance. Film Awards.

I don’t know if this bastard is old-fashioned. While thanking the organizer for inviting him to the ceremony, he opened the envelope, but then he did not announce the shortlist, but simply said, “The winning film is "Mozart", a member of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was frightened, and quickly stepped onto the stage to confirm the correctness of the contents of the envelope. Fortunately, everything is normal.

The success of "Mozart" naturally brought Orion Films great fame. After entering Hollywood, Tang Huan already had two companies under his umbrella—United Artists and Orion Films, which won such heavyweight awards as the best film. In particular, the performance of the former is more prominent.

However, Tang Huan didn't pay attention to this, but Wu Hanrun, who starred in "Slaughter of Fire", won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor as expected.

It has to be said that Oscar is not that simple.

This is exactly what Tang Huan meant. After all, Funan has also produced celebrities, which is better than anything else.

When meeting Wu Hanrun, Tang Huan said: "Hong Kong DreamWorks is preparing a movie, and I hope Mr. Wu can play an important role in it."
