Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

San Francisco, also translated as "San Francisco" or "San Francisco";

Located on the Pacific coast of California, USA, it is a vibrant port city.

The region has four distinct seasons with little temperature variation. Summers are sunny and dry, while winters are humid and cool, creating a typical Mediterranean climate.

The city is surrounded by the sea on three sides: the tranquil San Francisco Bay to the east and the vast Pacific Ocean to the west.

Covering an area of ​​approximately 121.73 square kilometers, the terrain is undulating and dotted with numerous small hills, the most well-known of which are Nob Hill, Russian Hill, and Telegraph Hill.

These hills not only add a unique charm to the city, but also become a favorite viewpoint for tourists.

As the heart of Northern California and the entire Bay Area, San Francisco is not only the fourth largest city in California, but also one of the most important economic and cultural centers on the west coast of the United States.

It is not only the headquarters of many large financial institutions, but also an important support point for Silicon Valley's high-tech industry.

Numerous world-renowned technology companies and startups have established their headquarters or R&D centers in San Francisco, working together to drive development and innovation in fields such as information technology, biotechnology, and clean energy.

Even in the global technology landscape, it still occupies a place that cannot be underestimated.

After spending $100,000 to purchase three top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz cars, Henry immediately contacted the Getty family's representatives in Los Angeles to officially return the two Mercedes-Benz cars to American Express.

He himself, accompanied by two top patent lawyers who had worked with the Getty family for many years, drove nearly 100 kilometers to the Humphreys Building in the heart of Silicon Valley.

Inside this somewhat old-fashioned building lies Henry's dream startup – American Dream Software Company (hereinafter referred to as American Dream).

As soon as they arrived, Henry noticed a well-dressed white man in his thirties.

At this moment, he was standing at the entrance and exit on the first floor of the building, eagerly waiting for something.

"Oh, Boss, you've finally arrived!"

Upon seeing Henry roll down his car window, the white man's eyes lit up, and a pleased smile immediately appeared on his lips.

He quickly stepped forward, politely opened the car door for Henry, and carefully held the door frame above the door with his hand to prevent Henry from accidentally hitting his head.

Good afternoon, Alexander. Is everything ready?

Alexander Jaden, a legendary figure who has emerged in the last two years.

Within just a few months, it boosted the San Francisco Evening Post's GG revenue to unprecedented heights, with a growth rate of up to 80%.

Unfortunately, his birth was extremely ordinary, and even with such achievements, he still could not obtain a social status commensurate with his abilities.

Two months ago, he was moved by the wonderful vision described by Henry and resolutely resigned to become the CEO of Dreamsoft.

"Yes, Boss. Everything is arranged. Our team is waiting for your arrival," Alexander replied.

"Very good!"

Upon noticing that the two lawyers who had accompanied him had both gotten out of the car, Henry immediately waved to Alexander and introduced them, saying, "Alexander, these two are the most professional patent lawyers in all of California, Mr. Michael Grant and Ms. Lisa Carter. You two should get to know each other."

"Hello, Mr. Grant, Ms. Carter. I am Alexander Jaden."

"Thank you both very much for visiting our company today."

Alexander walked gracefully forward and shook hands with each of the two lawyers.

"You're too kind, Mr. Jaden."

The two lawyers already knew about their new client before they arrived;

So without Henry needing to introduce them further, they all stepped forward and greeted him with smiles and laughter: "I am Michael Grant and Lisa Carter, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Since we all know each other, let's go inside."

"There are a lot of people watching us downstairs!"

After Oliver and the others parked their car, Henry led the group directly into the Humphreys Building.

The elevator went straight up to the twelfth floor.

This entire floor is the office area of ​​Dreamsoft Company.

The entire floor has a total area of ​​approximately 30,000 square feet, with an annual rent of over two hundred thousand US dollars.

However, the company currently only has a mere twenty employees.

(Including Henry and Alexander!)

The reason why there are so few employees is simply because software development is still a high-end technology in this era.

Entering this field requires not only solid professional knowledge but also exceptional talent.

College students in this era, especially those majoring in computer science, were not as common and cheap as they are today.

People who can program are considered the cream of the crop!

These days, let alone a PhD or Master's degree, you'd be lucky to find even a suitable undergraduate.

Henry spent more than half a month painstakingly recruiting this 18-person programming team from top universities such as Stanford and San Jose, thanks to the Getty family's connections!

The overall layout of Dream Company is divided into an open office area, private offices, meeting rooms, a lounge, and a small fitness area.

The open-plan office area occupies about two-thirds of the space and is equipped with state-of-the-art workstations and chairs, designed to provide team members with a spacious and bright workspace.

The individual offices that line one side of the office area are designed and reserved specifically for senior management.

This is to ensure that the company's leaders can enjoy a quiet and private working environment.

Unfortunately, currently only two people at Dream Company can use these offices;

One of them, and most of them, aren't even here.

There are three meeting rooms here, named "Dream", "Innovation" and "Realization".

Each meeting room is equipped with advanced computers and technical equipment to ensure that meetings are conducted efficiently and smoothly.

Inside the lounge, facilities such as coffee machines, microwaves, and refrigerators are readily available, and most employees relax and enjoy a short break here.

In addition, there is a small fitness area with a few basic fitness equipment to encourage employees to do simple exercises during busy work breaks to maintain a healthy and energetic state.

This kind of office environment is considered extremely advanced in Silicon Valley today.

After all, Silicon Valley today is far from the extremely prosperous technological mecca it would become in later generations.

Even giants like Apple have only just escaped the predicament of working from a garage.
