"What's stone skipping?"
Jared had never played it, so he did not understand what Nicole meant by that.Nicole picked up a rock
and showed him.
"This is called stone skipping."
"Oh, I have never played that."
"You must have had a pretty boring childhood." Nicole mocked him.
"I didn't find it boring.Everyone was the same."
"Look how I do it."
Nicole demonstrated it to Jared.
"Did you see that?" Nicole asked as she looked back at him.
"That easy?" Jared saw it clearly and found no difficulty.
"Don't just talk.Try."
Nicole looked at him with a provocative look in her eyes.
"Then open your eyes."
Jared picked up a rock and approached the beach.He planted his feet in a firm stance and held the
rock steady, then threw the rock across the water, and it bounced off the surface five or six times,
surprising Nicole.
"Not as good as me, but it is not bad."
Nicole looked at Jared with a slight disappointment for failing to taunt him.
"Did you get anything out of the seminar you attended a while back?" Jared asked as it suddenly
crossed his mind.иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σм
"Surely.I got to know a foreign friend who is so good you can't even imagine what he has developed."
Nicole looked at Jared with an impressed face.
Jared frowned, looking at Nicole, figuring that the person must have developed something not common
in the market.
"Could it be some kind of high-tech gizmo again?"
"Not bad.It is pretty close.Try again, and I will see if you can guess."
Nicole wanted to test Jared's imagination.
"Are you testing me? Okay, then I will play along."
Jared sat down to look out to sea and think.
"A high-tech gizmo? It is a broad category, not easy to guess.Foreigners are more into novelty, so I
guess it should be people- related."
Jared looked at Nicole after analyzing it.
"Yes, but the scope of this is so broad that I guess you won't be able to guess it for a while.Maybe I will
tell you."
It was impressive of Jared to guess that it was people-related.Ever heard of manned flying cars?"
Nicole raised an eyebrow at him.
"Manned flying cars? Your foreign friend has developed a manned flying car?"
Jared looked at Nicole in shock.
This was something he had not heard of.He did not expect that foreign countries had already
developed it, but only a few people knew about the concept domestically.
Jared could not help but be anxious and think he had to take some action now; he could not let
foreigners take the market.
"Yeah, and I even went to his research center to view it.The thing completely changed my
imagination.Just putting it there makes me curious.It is just wonderful."
Nicole recalled the manned flying car in awe.
"Can you tell me more about the manned flying car?"
Jared wanted to learn from Nicole about the other side's progress and strength.
