Chapter 7, Digging Corners

Nathan is also one of Song Yang's older cousins, but he is the son of another aunt. A few years ago, due to a job change, his family moved to New York

While busy changing clothes, Gallo did not forget to say to Song Yang, "Do you want to join the party? Hailey has invited several nice girls. What else do you need? I'll bring it to you tomorrow!"

Song has withdrawn from the baseball team, and his performance in competitions has been affected

Gailuo was momentarily speechless, giving Song Yang a thumbs up. He realized that Song Yang's approach was even bolder than his own

However, along the way, Song Yang saw the signs of major companies in the fields of oil, chemicals, energy, shipping, ports, and aviation, which are the main industries in Houston today

Gailuo helplessly waved his hand, revealing a look of exasperation. He had already learned of Song Yang's plan to have Jaden, that university student from Houston, come here to serve as a laborer for Song Yang. Gailuo found this to be quite absurd.

Song Yang looked at the figurine in Gallo's hand, which was a Superman action figure, although its appearance was somewhat different from that of later generations. Regarding what Gallo had mentioned, Song Yang felt a bit vague, but there was a faint impression, clearly having passed many years.

Bledsoe Jaden is crucial for Song Yang moving forward. Of course, Song Yang can write code, but the code he needs to write now is fundamentally different from that of decades later. Moreover, a complete set of programs cannot be finished by Song Yang alone; he will definitely need assistance.

This person was astonished to see that Song Yang had actually assembled the computer from the components of the multinational army. The cost of these components was minimal, and selling an assembled computer could earn significantly more than the exhausting effort of repairing a vehicle.

It has been a long time since I last came here! Gallo looked at the warehouse, which gradually resembled his previous impressions, and said with a hint of nostalgia.

Thanks to the unconventional development in Houston, the location of the Bruno family's garage is no longer considered remote; in fact, a community, shops, and a McDonald's have emerged nearby

In recent days, Song Yang has been spending most of his time in the garage, assembling the computer components brought over by Gairona, and one computer has already been completed

Apart from the dozens of high-rise buildings in the central area, the remaining buildings are generally not very tall. As a region without planning regulations, this place sufficiently reflects the free-spirited nature of cowboys, with the entire city's architecture being quite dispersed

Have read the manual

Gailuo did not listen to this nonsense, covering his nose as he entered. Looking at the thick layer of dust in the garage, he scratched his head, but still gritted his teeth and helped Song Yang clean it up

In the past, the members of the Bruno family were all in Houston. Gallo, Nathan, and others often took Song Yang and a large group of the Bruno family to roam around. They frequently visited the garage, but now Nathan and the others have already left this place

At that moment, the second-hand Motorola phone belonging to Gallo suddenly rang. Gallo answered the call, "Brother..."

Dust swirled in the garage, but several items were also discovered, such as early Marvel comics, posters, and figurines of Superman and Batman. Song Yang collected all these items.

It seems that here, we need Li Weila to personally clean up! Gallo looked at the dust-filled garage, unwilling to come in and eat dust

Computer components, I need you to help me purchase them

The garage area is not large, but it is not small either; it is sufficient to accommodate a few people for work. However, it clearly needs to be tidied up, otherwise it would be impossible to find a place to settle down amidst the clutter. If all goes as expected, this will be the location for the first company established by Song Yang in his two lifetimes.

Song Yang perked up his ears, knowing it was Jaden calling. Sure enough, after boasting on the phone, Gallo hung up and said to Song Yang with pride, "It's all set, Jaden will be attending a party today, and we will go together!"

By this time, it was already afternoon. After arriving at Defoes, Song Yang effortlessly made his way to the dance training room. Song Yang himself did not know why he felt so familiar with the place; perhaps only the original owner could provide an answer, as it was clearly not his first time here

Gailuo also came from this step, although the racing company he was involved with was merely a facade, he has gone through everything that needed to be experienced. He understands the price that must be paid for that initial thought, not to mention someone like Song Yang, who has no way back.

They found two broken chairs, and Song Yang and Gai Luo lay at the garage door. Gai Luo took out the drinks from the car that he was preparing to bring to the party, and they each toasted with a bottle.

Song, do you still remember this? You were pestering Grek for a long time, and in the end, it was on your birthday that Nathan and I raised money to buy it for you

"That is my business!" Song Yang tightened the last screw, and now there were two computers in the garage. The only things Song Yang could rely on next were these.

However, I must say that even though Jaden is my brother, the idea of having him come here is somewhat...

Not only is it necessary to clean the warehouse, but it is also required to check the wiring and plumbing, lay network cables, and arrange some daily necessities. After a thorough tidying up, both Song Yang and Gai Luo were covered in dust and dirt

The vehicle is heading towards Highway 7 in Harris County, with Houston being the county seat of Harris County. Along the road and in books, one can still see some stone statues commemorating Sam Houston. If it were not for his efforts to push Texas to join America, Texas cowboys would likely still be grazing in this territory that belongs to Mexico.

A passing member of the school baseball team was taken aback when he saw Jenny, and then, with a face full of regret, he said while casually showing off the muscles he had worked hard to develop

However, Jenny did not pay any attention to those; the face before her was, in comparison to Song Yang, simply unbearable to look at. She thanked him and left with her head held high, leaving behind a baseball player with a face full of gloom.

Looking at the dilapidated garage and glancing around, Song Yang felt that at least he did not have to worry about going hungry

Song Yang said helplessly, now a mainstream computer costs over 3,000 US dollars, and the budget provided by Grek is just this little. If Song Yang does not buy components to assemble it himself, it is likely that even purchasing a complete computer would be quite difficult.

Song Yang shook his head and handed a piece of paper to Gallo. Gallo looked down and saw that it was filled with various models of monitors, motherboards, graphics cards, etc., leaving Gallo looking completely bewildered

Rats have their paths, and snakes have their trails. Song Yang did not inquire about where Gai Luo obtained these components, but the prices are indeed cheap. Assembling a computer with the same configuration as those from Jie Wei and Dell costs no more than 1,800 US dollars, while similar machines on the market exceed 3,000. It must be said that we are currently in an era of exorbitant profits in computer hardware.

Attending a party naturally requires bringing a girl along, even though it is essentially just an ordinary student gathering

Ibera's family background is quite respectable in Defoes, and naturally, she is not without a few followers. Surrounded by a group of girls, Ibera cast a slightly provocative glance at Jenny, as she had heard that recently Jenny seemed to be getting quite close to Song Yang from m.hetushu.com, which made Ibera feel as if her territory was being encroached upon

Gailuo made a gesture of assurance towards Song Yang, and then hurriedly drove away.

Song Yang cast a glance at Gai Luo, ignoring him. He was well aware of the ridiculous idea Gai Luo had in mind, which was to assemble a makeshift computer and then pass it off as a branded machine for sale. This was simply taking advantage of the fact that most people today still do not understand computers very well. Song Yang was not so unscrupulous as to engage in such deceitful behavior.

Gailo, wearing frog-eyed glasses, sat in the driver's seat, chewing gum, and still spoke to Song Yang in that nonchalant tone, yet unconsciously infused with a hint of seriousness

Gailuo sat on the chair, playing Microsoft's Minesweeper on a computer assembled by Song Yang, which bore the HP logo, but in reality, its internal components were a hodgepodge from different brands.

"By the way, make sure to arrange a meeting for me with Bledsoe Jaden as soon as possible!" Song Yang said to Gallo, who was eager to leave for the party.

How is the contact with Jaden going?" Song Yang raised his head and asked

"I never expected, Song, that you have this skill. It must be a talent passed down, right?" Gallo raised his head amidst his busy schedule and looked at Song Yang, who was still assembling the computer. A mischievous idea popped into his mind, "I think it would actually be quite good for us to start a computer brand store!"

It seems that this statement is not incorrect; indeed, companies like HP and Apple were also born in warehouses. By this logic, this company has already positioned itself on the same starting line as Apple and HP

It is rare to witness this scene with Gallo, and Song Yang knows that he will not fall into a nostalgic reverie. Sure enough, after a few minutes, Gallo glanced at the time and jumped up, "Damn it, the party is about to start, and Hailey is still waiting for me!"

Song Yang raised a middle finger at him, "The next Disney, along with books, HP, and Apple, will be born here, and you are unwilling to join!"

Gallo took out the key and opened the garage door, immediately a cloud of dust surged out, prompting Gallo to jump aside; this garage is now essentially being used as a storage room.

Song Yang did not speak, he merely patted the pocket containing the beautiful knife. Once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. For Song Yang, this was the only way to resolve his current predicament, although it may still be fraught with difficulties

Song Yang was cleaning the garage. In addition to some miscellaneous items, he also discovered some other things, while sounds of shouting and commotion occasionally came from Gallo.

These items are not very valuable at the moment, but after a few years, when Song Yang, Gai Luo, and their peers reach middle age, these items are likely to become scarce. To satisfy a sense of nostalgia, they will probably be fiercely contested at auction.

At Defoes School, Jenny, feeling somewhat disappointed, was preparing to leave as she had not seen Song Yang at the training ground. For the past few days, she had not caught a glimpse of Song Yang, and when she called, it was always Ms. Da Anna who answered.

Jenny is practicing the basics in the training room with some girls from the art department and cheerleaders, but she is alone without anyone else by her side, while on the opposite side, a number of girls are gathered around Ibella.

Ibera is a prominent figure in Devers; although she may not be the most beautiful one, she is certainly the most talked-about. Recently, the altercation between Song Yang and Stanton over her has further elevated Ibera's status as a focal point of attention in Devers

Gailuo was taken aback, looking up and down at Song Yang. He had never heard that Song Yang could assemble computers. At a time when computers were not yet widespread, this could be considered a technical skill. "You can assemble them?"

Hastily changing into a new set of clothes, Song Yang said to Gai Luo, "Take me to De Fusi!"
