Rebirth in America

Word spread quickly that the Carpenters had acquired a company. Especially in the neighborhood where they lived, many people knew about it and even exaggerated it to the point where it was unbelievable.

"Hey, I heard that the Carpenters spent two million to acquire a company!"

"What? Two million? It must be 20 million!"

"The Carpenters made a fortune from one record! Not only did they buy a company, they bought a street!"

Rumors like this are spreading everywhere, becoming more and more exaggerated, and even the people who say them can't believe it. No matter what, they knew that the Carpenters were about to get rich. He will soon become a rich man.

The first person to come to congratulate was Lao Qiao, who brought his children to visit.

"Bart, your kids are really awesome! I've heard all about it, their records are so popular." Old Joe said with a smile.

Bart laughed and said unequivocally: "Not bad, not bad!"

Lao Qiao sighed and said, "It would be great if these boys in my family were half as good as your son."

He had many children, five in all, and probably more. Old Joe is a black man who doesn't mind having too many children. His wife's job is to give birth to and take care of children.

Bart and Lao Qiao chatted for a while. Finally, Bart asked sincerely: "Old Qiao, you must have heard that I have a company."

Lao Qiao nodded and said, "Yes, this rumor has spread among us for a long time, and everyone is talking about it."

"Then are you willing to come over and help me? We have known each other for so long, and we all know each other's character. I don't think you will let me down!" Bart tried to recruit his good friends. If he was alone, he would be too busy. But come.

Lao Qiao thought for a while and asked bluntly: "What does your company do? What can I do if I go there?"

Bart explained: "This is a record company, and I think you are mainly responsible for the record sales side. That is the marketing department."

Then, Bart introduced the company's situation and also explained the problem of huge debt.

Old Qiao looked at his children and finally shook his head and said: "Bart, my good friend. You also know my situation. There are so many children in the family who rely on me. If I lose my job..."

Bart nodded and said, "That's true, I understand."

Lao Qiao shook his head and said, "Actually, the most important thing is that I don't know much about record sales. If I were involved in production, I might be able to do it. I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, we will still have the opportunity to work together in the future." Bart said comfortingly.

In addition to Lao Qiao, there were also Dill and Paul. The two of them came together.

"Haha! Bart, Bart! I heard your son's song on the radio! They sang so well! It's so great." Dill said loudly before entering the door.

Bart quickly opened the door and welcomed them in. He saw Paul standing next to Dill.

At this time, Paul was still in the tavern. He looked at Bart with a smile and said nothing, but his eyes revealed his thoughts. Paul's heart was full of pride. He was the first teacher of the Carpenter brothers. He had never been so excited when he heard the Carpenter Brothers' singer on the radio.

Bart also reached out to them, and luckily, both Dill and Paul agreed. However, they also don’t understand the work of record companies, and at most they can only do odd jobs.

It doesn't matter to Bart. He knew that if he managed the record company by himself, he would probably be blind, unable to understand anything, and unable to see anything. Especially with Rudy, the former boss, in charge. Bart is relatively honest, but he is not stupid. He knows the darkness of the internal struggle within the company. He knows that if you want to run a company well, you can't do it without your own people.

Dill and Paul were his own now. With them as eyes and ears, even if Rudy wants to trick him, it won't be that easy.

They talked for a while, agreed on a time to come out to discuss in detail, and Dill and Paul left.

In addition to these friends, there are relatives of Bart and Angel. However, they live far away and all congratulate me by phone. Some relatives also came in person, and the Carpenters had a headache trying to receive them.

Fortunately, American society is not as complicated as the interpersonal relationships in Chinese society. At least there will be no shameless people borrowing money from others. Everyone just showed up and said hello. As for lending money to help, they never mentioned it.

On the contrary, Bart's parents and Alex's grandparents are very chic. After they heard that their son was getting rich and their grandson was famous, they just called back and asked what happened, and then continued their archaeological tour on the African continent. After Alex and Richard were born, I didn't even see them. At most, I only called them to say hello during the New Year and holidays.

Once, Richard asked Bart: "Why don't grandparents come back?"

Bart replied: "They are very incompetent parents. They run around and don't want to go home at all. When they traveled to China, they gave birth to me and ended up fostering me in a Chinese family. But they were very good. They traveled around leisurely, going to Japan, India, Thailand and other places, and completely forgot that there was a son like me waiting hard for them to come back."

Alex interrupted and asked: "Aren't my grandparents archeologists? Why do you say they are traveling?"

Bart was even more unhappy. He said: "Archaeology? That's just their excuse! They said it was to trace the migration route of the Jews and verify ancient historical legends. Who would believe it!"

"Jew?" Alex didn't know that his father had Jewish ancestry at this time.

Bart shrugged and said nonchalantly: "It seems that my father has part of Jewish ancestry, but it shouldn't be much, about a quarter. Who knows!"

"Huh? In that case, I also have Jewish ancestry!" Alex never expected that he was actually a Jew. But he looks nothing like him, more like an Aryan.

Richard touched his hair. He kept wondering why his brother Alex's hair was blond, but he was indeed dark brown. It turned out the problem was the father, whose hair came from Bart's side. Alex's hair comes from Angel.

"Haha, you are a Jew. Didn't I say that you only have part of Jewish ancestry? If you really count, you also have Chinese and German ancestry. I remember that my mother's mother is Chinese. Your mother His mother is an Aryan from Germany." Bart explained that he did not mind at all that he had Jewish ancestry. After all, the education he received since childhood was not Jewish education, but more influenced by the Chinese.

Alex became interested in this topic, and he quickly asked: "So do you think you are Jewish or Chinese?"

Bart thought for a while and said: "I am an American! However, after all, I was born and raised in China, so it is difficult to say that I have not been affected. As for the Jews, who knows, they are just one of my ancestors, right? It doesn’t really mean anything to me.”

Angel added: "My grandfather seems to be a declining aristocracy in Germany. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net Now that is the past for us."

"Why do grandparents do archaeology? Are they rich?" Richard suddenly asked.

Bart got angry when he heard this question: "Who knows! They are crazy people. Anyway, I have only seen them a dozen times in total since I was so old. When I grew up to 15 years old, they took me I didn't care about it when I returned to the United States. They left me and went to the Middle East, seemingly looking for some ancient Jewish scriptures. As for the funding, it was always provided by Jewish entrepreneurs they knew, so they had so much money to run around. .”

"It sounds awesome!" Alex said in amazement.

The mysterious archaeological couple runs around the world, and is also involved in ancient Jewish scriptures. This is a plot that can only be found in Tomb Raider. It's a shame why Bart didn't become an archaeologist, otherwise he could just follow him around.

Bart said angrily: "They were very good at playing, but they completely forgot about my son. If I hadn't still had some skills, I would have starved to death on the street."

As for the topic of grandparents, their family would only mention it a few times during the Chinese New Year and holidays. Normally, they never thought about it. Every time he mentioned it, Bart's resentment surged like sea water, probably because he was completely disappointed with these two irresponsible parents.

From then on, grandparents became a taboo topic in the Carpenter household. Anyone who mentions it accidentally will have to endure Bart's resentment and oppression.
