Chapter 36 Investing in X College
"Jonathan, dinner is ready, stop being busy"
"coming"
In the United States, an ordinary family usually has a clear division of labor, who washes the dishes, who cooks, and who cleans up the housework. Most families have a clear division of labor.
While on the farm, Emma was responsible for cooking as a child, Jian was responsible for simple housework after finishing her homework, and Jonathan was responsible for feeding the few egg-laying hens on the farm.
"Ms. Emma, I want to use some of the money to buy some decoration tools to decorate the basement. You see, there were always some people who were greedy for money last time. It is safe to build a basement to hide some valuable items. In addition, a friend of mine also wants to With money, I just want to use part of our family’s money to help him.”
Jonathan threw the bone stick on the dining table to two small native dogs under the table. The black native dogs were also called Chinese pastoral dogs. He had spent a lot of effort to get them. Because he had a black native dog in his previous life that accompanied him until the last moment of his life, he had many good feelings throughout his life.
"You are not young now. You have to make the decision on all the big things in the family. Just do it as long as you think it's appropriate. As for me, I just pray that I won't be a burden to you."
"How can it be a burden? Ms. Emma, you are overthinking, aren't you?"
In his previous life, Jonathan was a down-to-earth, hard-working good man. He worked hard from five to eight every day for a house of several dozen square meters. He was thin and wore glasses. In the eyes of many people, he was the failure. He worked hard and struggled, but failed again and again.
However, after a dull life, at the moment of death, as the old people say, most people generally have two thoughts. The first is how can I stay in this world for one more second? The second is Like Jonathan, the memories of this life are playing like a slide show. What I have done, what I should do, and what I should not do, all pass through my brain and thinking.
So aside from the chaff, Jonathan in this life is suddenly reborn like a phoenix. He is still as flawed as an imperfect piece of jade. At least he stands higher and sees farther than the previous generation.
His father, who was busy with social activities in his previous life, died of complications from diabetes very early, but he could only watch helplessly but was unable to do anything about it, so in this life he cared more about the love between his parents.
As for building a basement, he wanted to hide some of the precious items he collected in the basement, and he could also build a small laboratory. This was what he had thought of at Charles' house a few days ago.
When he came back from New York a few days ago, he went to Charles's house. Charles's house was not a small one, and it was things left to him by his ancestors.
"Jonathan, I'm afraid you also know about the uproar about mutants in school. Yes, I am a mutant. There are many stories about mutants. It may take a long time to tell them in detail. I am also very grateful to you. Being able to come here proves that you are not afraid of or discriminate against mutants."
Sitting on a bench in the back garden of Charles' house, where there is a secluded lake, Jonathan took a few stones and threw them onto the calm lake, causing a ripple.
"You didn't come to me just to talk about this, right?"
"I gathered a few sixteen or seventeen-year-old mutant children, but their abilities have not yet been developed. In order to protect them, we can only cooperate with the CIA. But I didn't expect that the Black Emperor attacked them again a few days ago, and the CIA I was helpless. At this time, I decided that I would let them use their own abilities and take out their own weapons to protect themselves and protect this already chaotic world." Charles became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly. The veins on his forehead are clearly visible.
"Stop, stop, but this has nothing to do with me."
"I want to set up a school. I want us mutants to have a place to live when everyone is isolated, without discrimination or fear, and live like ordinary people. I can teach them how to protect themselves. , how to get along better with others in this society.”
"Stop and ask me what this has to do with me."
"I need money, not that much, but I don't want to travel around because of money. I inherited some family property, but I want to build an underground empire with complete measures, so I need more money. I don't want to have any more money." Wait, especially when I know that you are the majority shareholder behind Stark Industries." Charles was a little embarrassed when he said this. After all, although he has a eloquent mouth, he also wants to save face.
At this time, he was very confused. He didn't know what the future would be like if the school opened, and several mutants would join in, but he just wanted to do his best.
"So you want to borrow money"
"It's not about borrowing money. I may not be able to repay it after borrowing it, so I've thought about it for you to join us. Let's build this school together, and you will have a share in this school in the future."
"I would like to ask if I can earn back the money I have. Do I just rely on tuition fees?"
Hearing this, Jonathan finally understood that his roommate in the past few years in college was going to start x college with him. He was still thinking about how to get involved in x college without being suspected. Unexpectedly, now Charles Come to the door yourself.
That's right, Charles' family does have a lot of money and a big house, but after he established X College, he couldn't rest on his laurels all day long. Those students' food, accommodation, and training to destroy tools did not cost a lot of money. Maybe Charles didn't know what to do now, so he came to him after knowing that he was a shareholder of Stark Industries.
Jonathan has watched the X-Men series of movies. In the movies, the expenses of the X-Academy are borne by Charles alone. There are not many wealthy students. The only one who can take advantage of it is probably the father of the angel in X3.
I'm afraid that although X College is a beautiful place on the surface, Charles must also be running around a lot.
Tony's father, Howard, is also a playboy. He buys mansions, luxury cars, and spends a lot of money on women. Now their shares in Stark Industries are almost equal.
By taking part of it himself and taking part from the farm, Charles can also take part of it himself. In this way, he will have a certain amount of funds to establish X Academy without losing much of his investment in Stark Industries.
"No, Jonathan, some students will not be stingy if they have extra money. So we can't turn away mutants who don't have money. We are also a charity."
"Charity, you thought of me, your brother who has taken care of you for several years. You are too shameless."
Jonathan also got a bargain and behaved well. The key is that Charles doesn't know yet. In the next few decades, I am afraid that both Charles and the students of X College will feel that without Jonathan's generous donation, their lives would not be so prosperous. .
Of course, X Academy is the base camp for mutants. Although I partnered with Charles to establish X Academy, I may be far inferior to Charles in terms of status as time goes by. But if anything happens in the future, I still have an identity that I can intervene without arousing suspicion. .
After all, I am afraid that for the future giant Stark Industries, part of it to provide the operation of X Academy is just a drop in the bucket.
