Even if he found out by accident, he probably wouldn't take the initiative to look for her.
The other party clearly has the address, and it is not difficult to find the landline number. Since there is no intention to keep in touch, why bother to put your warm face on the cold fart*? It is not a young boy who can be blinded by emotions and ignore everything else. Adults should be more rational in dealing with emotions.
However, this is based on the premise that the inside story is not known.
If we could meet again someday and listen to Helena Bergman's story, perhaps things would be different from what they are now...
It was late at night on the East Coast.
Los Angeles is on the West Coast, and he got home just after eleven o'clock.
Han Chudong was not sleepy yet. He took out a bag from the trunk, tiptoed into the living room, turned on the light, sat on the sofa, and checked the street game console he bought in the morning.
Selling toys depends on quantity, and the profit margin of a single toy is relatively high.
But taking the Magic Ball as an example, you have to sell thousands of plastic versions of the yo-yo to make the profit that an arcade machine like this can bring.
besides.
From the perspective of growth potential, entering the electronic game field is also quite promising.
Personal computers had not yet appeared, but almost every household had a television.
How could someone like him who had experienced the world in the early 21st century not remember external products like the Subor learning machine (game console)?
Since arcade machines can use TV screens, Han Chudong felt that if he thought of a way, he could probably tinker with it and make a similar home game console.
The problem is that we have limited understanding of the level of technological development and have no idea about the development of arcade and home game consoles. If we have to start everything from scratch, the amount of research and development funds required may be huge.
Once successful, the profits will most likely be considerable, but with his current funds, it is hard to say whether he can hold on until the day of success.
As for this arcade machine that he bought for more than a thousand dollars, its structure was so simple that it left him speechless.
Sit in the living room and ponder for a while, then plug in the power and insert coins to try it out.
As long as he could buy the right parts, Han Chudong could assemble it by himself. However, this company had probably already applied for a patent, and it would probably be difficult for it to directly produce arcade machines and compete for business by developing other games.
I contacted Atari, the company that produced this arcade machine, during the day, but no one answered the phone. Even if I had any ideas, I would have to wait until next year.
My IQ was lowered by this game composed of dots and lines, and I lost all interest after a few minutes. I went to the backyard to play with the puppy for a while, fed it some snacks, and then went upstairs to take a bath and go to bed.

Christmas Day.
Across the United States, including in Europe, many children woke up in the morning to receive Mango Toys products as gifts.
The Christmas sets started production more than a month ago and are divided into several categories. The most expensive set costs more than 30 US dollars.
It includes stickers, stamps, hand-pull battle tops, magic balls, etc. You can always choose a satisfactory toy from it. By seizing the peak holiday sales season, you can successfully make a lot of money.
In addition, the two partners, Fisher-Price and Nigo Toys Co., Ltd., also owe patent licensing fees. The bulk of the money goes to Fisher-Price, and the share is estimated to reach seven figures.
Someone from the company called him and told him this before the holiday.
This morning, Han Chudong received the patent fee check for the period ending December 20th, totaling a little over 1.06 million US dollars.
It could only be transferred to Mango Toys Company’s bank account, and the check was useless to others, so it was just sent via the U.S. Postal Service, a somewhat crude method.
After getting the bank draft, he temporarily hid it in the attic cupboard together with the cash that Zhao Dajun and Zhou Nan had brought yesterday.
He casually put some money into his wallet without any intention of paying taxes honestly. He planned to use the more than 100,000 US dollars in cash for daily expenses, and he might not have to go to the bank to withdraw money for two or three years.
No plans for today.
I came to the backyard on the first floor, tied the leash and continued walking the dog, wondering whether I should drive to Palm Springs to meet up with Han Yiqiang and his wife.
The idea went around in his head, but was quickly abandoned.
What are you going to do? It’s better not to disturb their world of two. Maybe your parents will dislike you...
The sun is shining and the weather is nice and windy.
It was not cold in Los Angeles at the end of December, and the tall palm trees on the roadside were still green.
After the little wolf king Orika finished picking up a large pile of feces, it was Han Chudong's turn to help pick up the feces. He held his breath, tied it up, and then held it in his hand.
Seeing that there was no one around, he unbuckled the dog and let it play by itself. This was both a way for Han Chudong to walk the dog and a way for him to enjoy his leisure time. When the holiday was over, all kinds of business matters would pile up in front of him one after another.
Last year I was only busy with two companies, but next year I will be busy with four companies. I am greedy and I can't blame others for being tired.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Let’s talk about the troubles later, at this moment he is still very relaxed.
I passed by the pond, stared at the water for a while, went home to get my father's fishing gear, and dug the soil by myself to look for earthworms.
"What are you doing, digging for treasure? I saw you sitting in the living room last night. Why did you ignore me when I waved to you?"
He heard voices behind him, and he knew without even looking that it was the girl from the next-door neighborhood.
Emma Lawrence tied her hair into a ponytail today, revealing her slender neck. Her skin was bright white under the sunlight.
She is indeed a problem girl.
She had just held her coming-of-age ceremony a few days ago and invited Han Chudong, but Han Chudong did not join in the fun.
In order to maintain harmonious neighborhood relations, his parents went to visit with gifts.
After coming back, she told him that Emma's friends had a fight at the coming-of-age ceremony, and then she also had a quarrel with her parents, which made Mrs. Lawrence so angry that she had to pretend to faint to avoid being laughed at by relatives and friends.
"Yesterday? Weren't you grounded? How could you go out at night? I'm digging this."
Seeing the earthworm in his palm, Emma was not scared. Instead, she squatted down to help search in the soil and told Han Chudong, "I am an adult now. I can go get a driver's license. They can't control me."
Han Chudong continued to dig the soil. "When you are old enough to go to the store and buy alcohol, tell me you have come of age. Congratulations, you have reached an age where you will be severely punished by a jury. I told you to stay away from those friends. I heard what happened at your coming of age ceremony."
“…You didn’t attend.”
"My parents went and brought a dessert that I bought."
"You're right, they're a bunch of idiots. If you go, you'll see my friend's clothes torn, revealing half of her body!" Emma said with a bit of self-mockery, seeming to be in a low mood, and her tone was listless. She added: "I have cut off contact with them, you are right."
"So this kind of thing actually happened. I'm starting to regret not attending your coming-of-age ceremony. What a pity! I should have brought popcorn and a camera." Han Chudong thought about it and sighed with regret.
"She weighed over 150 pounds. After she tripped, another friend rode on top of her. She gained so much weight in vain and had no power to fight back."
"stop!"
Han Chudong's fantasy was shattered and he immediately lost interest in listening.
He looked at Emma and said, "It's better not to get along with them anymore. They are of no help to your life. Why don't you study hard and be a good girl? You are obviously quite smart, at least it seems so..."
