Chapter 779 Another Year of Christmas
Many, many things have happened this year, both personally and in the world. Li Jie never thought two or three years ago that one day he would have the power to change the world.
Wearing a black windbreaker and long leather boots, he walked on the bustling streets of New York City, with fine snow falling in the sky. Looking at the crowds hurrying on the street, Li Jie realized for the first time that the world has begun to change.
And be aware of your role in driving change in the world.
The sign of the Osborne Group stands high beside the road [Technology Changes the Future]. Clinics for limb regenerative surgery have begun to expand around the world. Relying on limb regeneration surgery, the Osborne Group ushered in a new expansion.
It is no longer what it was when Norman Osborn was alive. The Osborne Group no longer relies on munitions heavy industry and complete sets of configuration equipment as its main profit point. Instead, with limb regeneration surgery as the backbone, the group began to enter the medical industry and biotechnology on a large scale.
Most of the companies whose main profit is arms are not very good in terms of word of mouth. Because the production of killing weapons is easy to be criticized, especially when these weapons are actually used, even when they are used to massacre the poor.
So no matter how much money an arms company makes, everyone thinks it's best to keep a low profile as much as possible (except, of course, for a certain playboy). Anyway, the money has already been earned, so there is no need to ruin your reputation.
And this major transformation of the Osborne Group has immediately improved the reputation of the entire company. The young Harry has become the world's most well-known businessman with excellent reputation.
As a senior advisor to the Osborne Group, Li Jie has been reminding Harry. As a businessman, a good word-of-mouth is even better than a billion-dollar fortune.
Although the Osborne Group is still contracting some arms orders from the US military and US allies. But at the same time, the Osborne Group is also pursuing its own charity program.
Including helping impoverished groups to perform free medical operations, and providing medical assistance to poor countries and regions. The program called [Human Health Completion Program] has already started. Now tens of thousands of people have received substantial and near-rescue rescue from this plan.
This made Harry Osborn, a young man under the age of 20, on the cover of "Time" of the year. Compared with the old Norman, the young Harry Osborne received a lot of praise around the world.
Li Jie crossed the street corner and heard a priest who was leading the believers in singing hymns on the street and praying for passers-by loudly praised: "Here, whether you are my brothers or sisters (referring to those of the same faith) Believers), I pray to all of you to treat the world we live in with the most sincere kindness, the purest beauty, and the most noble character.”
The old priest named Edward was impassioned: "Because we were born in an era that cannot be let down. In this era, we enjoy unprecedented abundance of material goods in this era, and in this era we have landed on planets outside the earth. In this era we do It has reached all kinds of things that the predecessors could not imagine!"
"Please let us treat this world with the most sincere feelings, so that our descendants can enjoy everything we have today. We used to say that God lives in the nine heavens, but today I want to say that God actually walks in the world!" Edward The priest's loud preaching attracted many people's attention.
Li Jie stopped and watched for a while. This priest who is full of enthusiasm for life and the world has attracted Li Jie's favor. When Father Edward preached to the climax, Li Jie whistled and clapped vigorously.
But Li Jie couldn't stay too long because it was Christmas Eve. He still has a lot of things to do, such as various gifts, including those that need to be purchased now and those that have been ordered long ago.
Go to Fifth Avenue to pick up Li Jie’s pre-ordered gifts—two sets of finely handmade lamb coats and cashmere cardigans inside—this is a Christmas (New Year) gift for Lan and his mother. Lan's is a light yellow one, and my mother's is a beige one.
As for dad? For this father who often ridicules him for nothing, Li Jie thinks it is better to give him a puppet toy, which is more in line with his personality. But as for the delivery coupon for a certain boutique men's clothing hidden under the puppet, Li Jie would not say anything about it. Whether you can find it depends on God's will.
While picking up these two clothes, Li Jie met a girl who spoke English with an Eastern European accent. She said her name was Katyusha. Li Jie felt that her appearance fit the name Katyusha, she looked like a classical Eastern European beauty.
She got lost on Fifth Avenue, and she was actually here for the annual meeting of the superhigh-speed rail project. Because this plan was actually initiated by Iron Fist Daniel Randall's company and promoted by the Horizon Foundation.
She wants to take advantage of the gap between the annual meeting to go shopping on Fifth Avenue, and then bring it back to Ukraine as a Christmas gift for relatives and friends. In particular, she wanted to find a more suitable men's trench coat, the style should not be rigid, and the price should not be too expensive.
Li Jie basically guessed that this girl wanted to give it to her boyfriend, in line with the original work that everyone is happy during the holidays. Li Jie helped a girl named Katyusha find a good shop.
Before breaking up, Li Jie wished Katyusha: "Merry Christmas to you!" Katyusha smiled back sweetly: "I also wish you a Merry Christmas, kind Jason."
This is just a small episode, and Li Jie has to prepare other gifts in the next afternoon. Including a batch of dried seafood ordered from Hong Kong for grandpa.
For Peter Parker and Gwen, a set of couple shirts and cotton socks of the same style that Li Jie and Lan figured out to print with magic. Small concentric pendants for Harry and Mary.
There are also various gifts for the night watchman team, food and clothes, these are not suitable for the three old men. Li Jie found three classic Harley motorcycles for them, the 1990 Harley Fatty. That is, the same style as Arnold Schwarzenegger in "Terminator 2".
Cars are not hard to find, but it takes a lot of work to restore an old car to look like a new one.
However, the three old men who received the gift were very happy, and immediately decided to go out to ride motorcycles together at night.
The gifts of toys and snacks that Li Jie prepared for Mindy and Laura are not rare now. Because the two little loli have the Lego unlimited toy delivery coupon given by Tony!
They only left snacks, and then Li Jie had to give the hackers toys together with a limited edition HOYTOYS 1:4 scale Iron Man model.
Barbara was also given a new set of biological experiment tools by Li Jie, which was really expensive, but Li Jie didn't know what to give to Barbara.
Then there are Tony, Rogers, and some of the Avengers who have a good relationship with me, and Kick-Ass King David and so on.
Of course there is also the king of Kamateki, this one cannot be forgotten!
Li Jie felt that he needed to find a secretary for the next festival to take care of everything. Otherwise, just giving gifts would be a headache!
"How do I wear this outfit?" Lan, wearing a gray slim-fit trench coat and matching casual trousers, walked around in front of Li Jie twice.
Li Jie stretched out his hand to compare the look of OK: "Perfect, just went to have a meal. You can already go to the Paris Fashion Week catwalk in what you wear!"
Lan smiled, and went out together holding Li Jie's hand.
The target is Li Jie's parents' house, this Christmas, no matter where the world is, no matter where the world is. People always think of reuniting with their loved ones at this time.
Of course, maybe the name of the festival will change, maybe it will be called Spring Festival, maybe it will be called Maslenitsa. But no matter what name they are given, their essential meaning remains the same.
It's all the inseparable bond between people, even if they are thousands of miles apart, there is always a thread in the heart.
Today, the light snow has stopped, and the sun has just risen. Stepping on the thin snow, facing the winter sun. Li Jie looked around at the peaceful community, the warm fireplace in his home and the warm smiles of his family.
He said to himself: "I hope the sun will always shine on the world, and I hope that the white snow will not be stained with dust."
