Chapter 379: Are You Going to Object?
After Li Manrui, Lin Zitan received many calls one after another that people were concerned about, and even Xiao Cheng, who had just finished dealing with the fake marriage, came over.
"I heard that you're going to sell the apartment, and the real estate company is almost closed, isn't something happening to you?"
Xiao Cheng asked worriedly.
"If I tell you that I'm going bankrupt, do you believe it?" Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"How is that possible? You're not the kind of person who puts all your eggs in one basket!"
Xiao Cheng shook his head and said.
"Haha, don't worry, senior brother, I just want to hide my strength like senior brother, I heard that your marriage was finally divorced?"
"Gone, thanks to your reminder! these people can really do anything for money!
I even found the woman's ex-boyfriend and was about to sue her, but my aunt, as soon as she heard that my company was losing money and even her girlfriend who was pestering me left, immediately relented and ran to convince her niece!
It's ridiculous to think about it later, people were afraid of you when you didn't have money before, but now you have some money and you're afraid of others calculating!
You are very lucky, your wife's family is rich, and your mother is also safe, unlike me...... But the good thing is that it's all gone!
By the way, there is also good news, my parents' immigration application was also approved, and I heard that the immigration policy of this new president is going to change again, thank goodness ......"
"Then congratulations to Senior Brother! Uncle and aunt are here to tell me, and then they will have a reception banquet!"
Lin Zitan said sincerely.
"Thank you in advance! Fortunately, I bought this house early, and they have a place to live as soon as they come, otherwise my pressure will be even greater!"
Xiao Cheng smiled unnaturally as he spoke.
"Didn't you say that the company's operation is fine?" Lin Zitan raised his eyebrows.
I now know that starting my own company is not as easy as I thought.
I'm embarrassed to tell you, in fact, I regretted it a long time ago, but since I have chosen this path, I have to go down on my knees, you say yes!"
Xiao Cheng smiled helplessly as he spoke.
"Senior brother will definitely be able to, there will definitely be difficulties of one kind or another at the beginning, but as long as you persevere, there will always be gains, just like when we started our business!"
Lin Zitan knew that he probably regretted that his intestines were blue, but he didn't say much, anyway, even if the partnership is now, it will still be separated, and people always have to find a way to find their own way.
-----------------------
Lin Zitan handled the affairs of the real estate company almost, and handed over the sale of the apartment to Andrew to deal with, and now there are four supermarkets and low-rent houses and commercial buildings left.
It is said that it will be very easy to invite the right employee boss, except for one Hu Enming who has had such a problem over the years, some other old employees are OK.
A new professional manager has been found to be in charge of domestic affairs, and Zhang Jing is not worried at all when he stares at him, and now Xiao Zheng and Assistant Chen are cooperating, and the four supermarkets are quite stable.
Since Emma returned to her family, 50 boutiques have also been managed by professional professional managers and Ivani, as if they have been idle for a while, so they have been interacting more with the elderly on both sides recently.
On this day, Emma came back from old Johnson with the children, and as soon as she entered the door, she reported to Lin Zitan that the old man wanted to see him.
"See me? won't it be...... Xingshi asks for sin, right?"
Lin Zitan asked suspiciously while busy cooking.
In fact, from the time he was with Emma, apart from the very beginning, when Johnson Sr. called him over for a talk, every subsequent meeting had very little time for private conversation.
Johnson Sr., like an ordinary old man, enjoyed the happy time with the whole family, so every year on Thanksgiving or Christmas, he asked his children and grandchildren to come back for a reunion.
Ever since he and Emma had children, he hadn't been summoned to see them, and basically every time he wanted to see them, it was the children, so Emma took them over there whenever she had time.
Fortunately, the two families are very close, and unless Lin Zi is not at home for dinner, Emma will rush back before eating.
At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Zitan reported to the old Johnson's house on time, and the daughter-in-law and children were downstairs and the dark aunt accompanied him to play in the special toy room.
"Knock~" Lin Zitan knocked on the door nervously, and only after hearing the sound inside did he dare to gently push the door and walk in.
As before, Johnson Sr.'s study was full of books, and the study that should have been very spacious was also full because of the bookshelves on all four sides.
Old Johnson sat quietly behind his desk as before, with a pair of ancient round-lens glasses on the bridge of his tall nose, and when he saw Lin Zitan coming in, he only nodded slightly and asked him to sit down opposite.
"I heard Emma say that you want to set up a foundation~"
Old Johnson raised his hand and took a copy of the information from his hand and handed it to Lin Zitan, getting straight to the point.
"Uh...... Do you want to object?" Lin Zitan asked tentatively.
"Why do you think I'm against it? But I'm calling you here just to discuss an issue with you. ”
Old Johnson quietly raised his eyebrows, which were so faint that they could only show the peak of their eyebrows.
"What a question, please say. Lin Zitan sat down in the tunnel.
"Do you think poverty makes people happy, or is being rich makes people happy?"
After the old man asked, he put on a posture of listening to his ears.
"Well...... Of course, when you are poor, you will feel that you will have more happiness when you are rich, but once you are rich, you will no longer be willing to think about the troubles of being poor.
If you compare that, most people think that they are happier when they are rich!"
Lin Zitan didn't know what the old man's question meant, but he always felt that there was some indescribable Zen, so he pondered for a while and replied cautiously.
"Hmm~ Most people have experienced the hardships of poverty, but not everyone is lucky enough to feel the troubles of the rich, so I was shocked at one point why Emma's mother chose to commit suicide because she was rich and talented.
Later, I looked up a lot of relevant information and began to understand that there is a disease called depression, as you know now, and I found out that this disease is still hereditary......
This is a disease that is misinterpreted by the public, and it is also easy to be ignored by the public, just like Bill's self-blame for so many years, many family members with depression only realized the horror of this disease after losing their loved ones.
Tackling mental health challenges is a long journey, and I know why you started this foundation, and I can't guarantee that this child will be genetically at risk, but I think it's the right thing to do now. ”
After old Johnson finished speaking, he looked up at Lin Zitan with a deep approving look in his eyes.
"However, young man, you donated 500 million net worth, this is not a small amount, this information in your hand is the network resources I gave you, they are all experts in the study of depression in the United States today.
In addition, there is a very professional fund management team, I hope it will be helpful to you!"
Lin Zitan opened it and glanced at the information handed over by Old Johnson just now, which contained the very detailed addresses and contact information of these people.
"Thank you grandpa, I will definitely be cautious!"
"Alright, there you go!"
After old Johnson finished speaking, he waved his hand at Lin Zitan.
Lin Zitan hurriedly got up, bowed to the old man, and was about to exit the room, but before going out, he suddenly heard the old man say again:
"That's right...... The current situation is a little different than before, and although you have been staying away from politics, you should also be aware of the impact of the new political situation on you foreign investors. ”
