Chapter 313: A Career-minded Woman (Second Update, Asking for Votes~)
After Li Manrui sold the restaurant, she felt empty for a long time, although her ideal career was not to be a restaurant owner, but the restaurant was the most handy career she did after coming to the United States.
Many people who come to the United States for the first time will be full of ambition, thinking that as long as they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, they will definitely have a bright future, especially those who have some language foundation.
But when I really got here, I realized that in fact, many things are not as easy as I imagined, no matter how respectable your profession is in China, no license here is equal to zero.
In the past, Li Manrui also wanted to do a job in teaching Chinese as a foreign language or work in some real office buildings like Chu Feng's father, but unfortunately, she has never realized her ideal of being a teacher.
I didn't expect to be able to realize my career dream with the help of my son, not only as an educator, but also as a manager in this area.
The foundation called Hua'an, which Lin Zitan asked Hu Enming to apply for, is a privately run foundation, which generates income by investing its initial donations, and uses its investment income as a source of funding for charitable activities or organizational operations.
In the United States, according to the law, charitable funds cannot serve specific personal interests, so in order to prove that the purpose and operation of the fund is always for the public interest, they must carry out necessary public welfare activities or charitable projects.
Therefore, with the addition of Li Manrui, a free public welfare project dedicated to job skills and language training for Chinese Americans was soon launched.
They do not lack offices, and there is no shortage of funds, Lin Zitan and Hu Enming created the charter of the foundation at the same time, but also set up the organizational structure of the foundation, Lin Zitan as the chairman of the foundation,
Andrew's father's law firm was hired as a supervisor, and Hu's finance department was responsible for the foundation's financial outsourcing management.
Li Manrui, who was assigned as the chief executive officer, only needed to find a secretary with Lin Zitan's approval and recruit an administrative team to continue to carry out the basic business of the council.
Lin Zitan took 5% of his initial donation of $20 million as the operating fund of the charity project, and the rest of the money was handed over to JP Chase for professional investment management.
Because the law stipulates that charitable foundations must spend 5% of their total assets on charitable projects every year, they have to contribute 5% of 20 million yuan every year, or 1 million US dollars, to promote their charitable projects.
Li Manrui's team is responsible for spending all the 1 million yuan in a year, whether it is used for charity projects or employee expenses.
Anyway, Li Manrui's dream was to earn 1 million a year, and now her task is to work hard to spend the 1 million within a year.
This transition was very difficult for Li Manrui to adapt to at first, but as the charity activities unfolded, she found that she was perfectly suited for this challenging job.
First of all, the office of their foundation is set up in an office building near Flushing Main Street, and the group of people they serve is the Chinese American people who have immigrated to the United States or stayed in the United States.
From the beginning of Li Manrui's employees handing out leaflets on the street, to finally paying people to distribute leaflets on the street, slowly, some new immigrants who were suspicious began to come to consult.
When they heard that they were a non-profit organization and completely free, some people didn't believe it at all, but after more and more word of mouth and leaflets were distributed all over the street, Li Manrui's work finally began to get busy.
After Lin Zitan entrusted the affairs of the Foundation to Li Manrui, he found that he had inadvertently done the best of both worlds.
I used to worry that there would be no trustworthy people to do this work, but then I thought that Li Manrui, who was still at home despite having three wineries, should be more suitable.
Facts have proved that Li Manrui is very handy in doing this work, she is good at communicating with people, and has the enthusiasm and enthusiasm to serve others, not to mention that this is also a charity.
For a while, Li Manrui gained a sense of accomplishment N times more in this work than when she was working in a restaurant before, and the relationship between husband and wife with Mike was much more harmonious with the display of her dedication.
------------------
2013 is the most serious year for Lin Zitan in his career.
In China, Lin Zitan's investment is also in full swing, and the previously registered domestic public welfare foundation has also been approved.
Lin Zitan sent Assistant Chen to stay in China to keep an eye on the progress of the project, hoping to return to China after the summer vacation to see the Hope Technical School he planned to take shape.
In the United States, whether it is the sale of Easyrent or the preparation of the listing of Apartment, Lin Zitan basically stays at the forefront of his work, and supervises every account and every procedure very carefully.
With the efforts of a professional team, they won two medium-sized farms on the border between Connecticut and New York, and signed a three-year supply and marketing contract, which will greatly reduce the cost of purchasing vegetables and fruits in their supermarkets once the harvest season comes.
In addition, they have also purchased two small and medium-sized farms for the cultivation of agricultural products and floriculture, which will provide a good resource for the expansion of supermarket demand in the future and the green plant needs of various units.
With the stimulus of many new policies on the economy, the real estate industry has begun to flourish, especially in April and May of 13 years, the number of housing transactions in the entire New York City has increased compared with previous years.
The dozens of properties that Lin Zitan is holding in his hands, plus some new high-end apartments have begun to be slowly put on the market for sale, but they are not in a hurry to make a deal.
Therefore, it is generally hung on the website for a period of time to see the quotation and then quietly withdrawn, because Lin Zitan knows that the boom in housing transactions has not finally come, and he can't be in a hurry.
----------------
Just when Lin Zitan was concentrating on building his business empire, he suddenly received a call from Joseph one day.
To be honest, since Hongrong Freight was acquired, Lin Zitan did not go out of his way to inquire about Joseph, but only occasionally heard Jimmy say a few words, most of which were about what kind of small company they had acquired.
Jimmy is a person who has a good beginning and an end to doing things, and he promised to help make the apartment listed, so as long as Andrew needs his help on this side, he will come forward.
Fortunately, Andrew already has the experience of Easyrent's listing, and this time Lin Zitan is also at the forefront to work with him, Jimmy now only needs a little guidance as a consultant.
"Hey, Joseph, how are you doing?" Lin Zitan looked at the caller ID, and although he was surprised, he quickly picked up the phone.
"I'm fine, but I recently came across a big case in my hands, and I thought you might be interested in it, so I called you and wanted to make an appointment with you to talk about it. Joseph got straight to the point.
Joseph is an honest and serious Chinese man, and Lin Zitan has cooperated for so many years, and has also won Lin Zitan's trust, although he has been dormant in Hongrong Freight for so many years, but Lin Zitan knows that he has always had an unfinished mission,
This is also the main reason why Lin Zitan agreed with him to push Hongrong to the public and agreed to be acquired.
"What's inconvenient on the phone?"
Lin Zitan checked his schedule, after working hard, his schedule was full every day, and in order to ensure that he could accompany Emma for a day every weekend, he even adjusted the time of sanda training to the evening.
"Let's meet and talk, if you don't have time, I can come to you!" Joseph said positively.
