Chapter 92: I'm a Major Shareholder, Right?
This time I went home and encountered a lot of hiccups and episodes.
More than ten minutes later, the Greyhound bus to San Francisco departed, Su Dingcai drove home again, and Su Mu and Li Ping'an went to Menlo Park together.
At first, Li Ping'an was still very excited, and soon after that, he fell asleep, no one was snoring beside him, Su Mu also slept soundly, and was woken up by the driver when he arrived at Menlo Park, almost sat at the station, thanked the driver and got out of the car, and led Li Ping'an back to the villa together.
Li Ping'an already knew about renting a house outside, but he didn't know that he actually rented such a luxurious villa.
stared at the few people who were busy in the garage for a long time, until they were reminded by Su Mu, and then came back to their senses and asked Li Zhekai what they were doing.
A detailed explanation is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow, anyway, I don't understand it, Su Mu only said that he was working.
He went back to the room and put away the two of them, and then went to explain to James that he would "take in" his friend for a few days and would not stay long.
Usually has a good impression of Su Mu, James nodded in agreement without thinking about it, and they occasionally bring friends over for a party, no big deal.
In the process of developing office software, he encountered many problems, and he and Li Zhekai were not in a good mood.
The first time they started a business, they always felt that the prospects were broad, but the reality gave them a blow to the head, and many ideas had to be overturned and restarted, and they began to be discouraged after only half a month of starting a business......
It's evening again, today's sunset is particularly beautiful, and when it's time to get off work, there are a lot of vehicles on the road.
There is a cloud in the sky, like a golden ingot, staring at it for a long time, Li Ping'an "pinched his fingers", pretending to be a god stick and told: "I think I may be rich this time, when I was a child, the fortune teller said, my fortune is in the north." ”
"Geographically, this is the southwest of the United States, or I'll pay for you to buy a ticket, and you can go to Alaska further north?"
In the past, Su Mu always felt that he was alone, but this time his friends came with him, and he finally had someone who could chat freely, which felt quite good.
At the beginning of school, as soon as Su Mutou came back here, he was unfamiliar with his life, and he was confused and nervous for two or three days, accompanied by a dead friend, Li Ping'an didn't feel that way at all, shook his head and said: "Then forget it, it's so cold in winter that people freeze to death, where are you going now?"
"Discuss something with my friend, I only know his house number, let's take a taxi over, take you to Stanford University in the evening, there are a lot of delicacies to eat around, I invite you." ”
As he spoke, he waved to an empty car and told the driver the address of Daniel's house, and the two continued to chat without saying a word, and soon came to the street where his house was.
The difference can be seen in terms of the size of the villa, with at least 15 meters between each villa and a variety of huge gardens at the entrance.
Someone moved the pool, rockery, and fountain to the yard, and if it is said that the oak avenue where Su Mu and the others live now belongs to the rich area, then the Fakesen neighborhood is the rich area of the rich area.
The villas are all of different shapes, ranging from modern to traditional European and American village styles, and each one covers a large area.
Daniel's father was an executive at Motorola, belonged to the full gold-collar class, and could afford this kind of house, standing at the door of Villa 9 with two Gothic doorposts erected at the door, Su Mu smacked his lips and sighed: "The family is so rich, how can Daniel be like this." ”
"What, what's wrong with your new friend?" Li Ping'an asked him.
"You'll understand when I see you. After that, he pressed the doorbell.
Soon an obese white maid walked out of the door across the garden more than ten meters long and asked loudly: "Who are you looking for?!"
"Daniel Brown, I'm his friend, is he home?"
"Wow, what a rarity, Sue, right? He often mentions you, I'll open the door for you!"
The maid trotted over and introduced herself: "I'm Josia, the young master has very few friends, so no one has ever looked for him, he must be very happy to have you coming! I just had a conflict with my wife at noon, and he didn't go out all afternoon, I'm helping him make dinner, do you want to eat pasta?"
"I had a recipe passed down to me by my grandmother, tomato flavor, with a little caviar, absolutely delicious. ”
Hearing these words, Li Ping'an finally knew why Su Mu said that he was miserable, and guessed that the rich kid named Daniel didn't usually have many friends.
I have never eaten caviar in my life, even if it is the cheapest kind, Su Mu really wanted to taste it, but he swallowed it with saliva and told with a smile: "Thank you, if you don't bother, please help us prepare one." ”
Americans say to invite dinner, that must be to invite, there are no customs such as "modesty" and "politeness" in society, the maid named Josia nodded: "It's just preparing, the ingredients are enough, no problem." ”
As he spoke, he opened the door and asked the two of them to come in and lead the way in front, Su Mu held up the bag he was carrying in his hand and said:
"This is the Yanjing duck I brought from Chinatown, Los Angeles, and I ate it the day I first met Daniel, and he seemed to like it, so I went home and brought another one, and it only needs to be heated in the oven for a few minutes, and it will be delicious to cut it into small pieces and dip it in the sauce. ”
Aunt Josia's eyes lit up instantly, and her mouth said: "This smells so good! Wrap it on me, there is a barbecue in the kitchen, I often see ducks in the park, I heard that you Chinese can turn it into a very delicious food......
Ducks are very happy to be born in the United States, and Westerners think ducks are ...... They are so cute that they are rarely eaten, and they are usually seen in the small lakes of the park, and they are kept as ornamental animals.
In the vicinity of the Chinese settlements in the United States, even if there are ducks in the lake, they will quickly disappear and be served as roast duck, radish duck soup, beer duck, medicinal duck, etc., especially roast duck, as one of the most famous dishes in Western countries, it is simply crazy.
Knowing that Su Mu was coming, Daniel quickly went downstairs, his house was decorated with splendor, so that Su Mu and Li Ping'an had no way to get off, standing at the door and hesitating for a while before entering, a large crystal chandelier above his head, full of various decorations, and blue and white vases, just like coming to a museum.
Pointing to an oil painting that ordinary people couldn't understand, Su Mu asked Daniel, "Picasso?"
"Well, my mother works in a museum, and she likes to collect these and bring home a lot of antiques when she inherits them. Daniel casually introduced: "By the way, my mother's great-grandfather went to Huaxia when he was young. ”
Well, from the perspective of time, it is mostly the time of the Eight-Nation Alliance or the Opium War, where the vases, calligraphy and paintings came from, it is already obvious.
There are a lot of overseas antiques, Picasso just died more than ten years ago, leaving more than 30,000 paintings in his life, including more than 1,000 oil paintings, this work on the wall is not necessarily worth much, seeing the strange patterns, Su Mu feels that he can paint one in ten minutes, and it is normal to leave so much.
Daniel's mother's great-grandfather had long been buried in the soil and couldn't pursue the past, so Su Mu couldn't wait to ask him, "How is the business?"
Daniel didn't sell it, and smirked: "Well, I urged my dad, and after they met at the party yesterday, the principal promised to buy seventy computers from us, provided the price is right." You promised to make money to give me 5% of the company's shares, and I'm also a major shareholder now, hahaha!"
