Chapter 287: A False Alarm (1/4)
Since she decided to have a child, she couldn't hide the pregnancy from her parents, and Lily finally didn't let Su Mu tell them, and she called her mother.
And Su Mu, when he heard the news that Lily's mother, Lady Aveline, was coming, he was nervous from morning to afternoon, and he was even more worried when he really faced her.
The result was not as bad as expected, and Lady Aveline did not express her anger, and when she saw her daughter and Su Mu, she lightly blamed them, saying that they were too careless.
Catholicism is against premarital sex, but it is not absolute, and it has developed to the present, who does not know what the social atmosphere in the United States is, and how many Catholic girls really abide by this rule.
Being pregnant out of wedlock is definitely not a big deal in the eyes of Americans, not to mention that Lily is already an adult and has the right to make decisions about her own life, and since the coming-of-age ceremony, her parents have rarely interfered in her private life.
Although Lady Aveline didn't say anything, Su Mu was still weak-hearted, and anyone who did such a thing would have a headache. Sitting side by side on the sofa with Lily, opposite her mother, the meeting place was not placed at home, mainly because she was afraid that her parents would be embarrassed, so she made an appointment in the company's office, for fear that the other party would be angry, and even the blinds were not closed, and she carefully "reminded" Lily's mother to pay attention to the image.
With Su Mu's current achievements, the girl who wants to soak him can go from San Francisco to Los Angeles hand in hand, Ms. Aveline is generally satisfied with her daughter's boyfriend, and through daily contact, she also found that her daughter is quite happy after being with him, which is enough, when a mother doesn't want her daughter to find a good man to take care of her, and live a carefree life.
The image of the Chinese in the United States is generally bad, only more than the black people have a good impression of stability and duty, and Aveline, who is more helpless than annoyed, took a sip of black tea and asked Su Mu: "What are you going to do next?"
My daughter is willing to give birth to this child, and I am sure that you can take care of my daughter and this child, but Lily's father is angry, you are not married, and you have no commitments, and his concern is justified. ”
Su Mu looked at Lily, obviously she didn't plan to get married in the near future, and it seemed that she didn't explain the situation, and this black pot was decided by herself.
Think about it from another perspective, if you have a daughter and you are pregnant with someone else's child for no reason, the parents must also be worried, telling her: "Lily is still in school, I haven't graduated yet, and I plan to wait until I leave school to discuss the child's affairs."
I'm going to set up a trust fund that will transfer $200 million worth of shares and 10 percent of Penguin Computers to the trust for the soon-to-be-born child, and if I have other children in the future, I'll prepare a fortune for them in advance. ”
Aveline's movements paused for a moment, and she opened her mouth to be a trust fund of 200 million US dollars, which can be said to be very powerful, guessing that Su Mu was reassuring herself, and at the same time expressing her importance to her daughter and that child, she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on her face again, and she was extremely satisfied with Su Mu's initiative.
said to Su Mu: "Don't think that our family is coveting your wealth, our family is not as rich as you, but it is not short of money to spend, I know that Lily listened to your advice to invest, and she made a lot of money this year, which is more than enough to raise a child."
I'm just worried that if there is a problem in your relationship in the future, it will make my daughter sad, I hope you can take good care of her, you should know what I mean, I am such a daughter, that son has not let us worry since he was a child, and he is closest to Lily. ”
"Well, I understand, I'll take care of her. Su Mu casually hugged Lily, who was silent and pretending to be stupid, he had a headache, why wasn't Lily like this.
With her mother to help her support herself, Lily smiled very brightly, and helped Su Mu speak at the moment: "No, I believe this guy!"
As a person who has come over, Aveline has seen too many loving couples, and finally parted ways, I wanted to say something more, but in the end I didn't say it, things have been like this, I can only hope that they will go on well.
Suddenly there was silence, for nearly a minute, no one spoke, and Su Mu, who was restless, forcibly found a topic and said: "Ms. Aveline, I will take you to visit my company? ”
Aveline had long been curious about her prospective son-in-law's company, and it was hard for her to imagine how Su Mu, who was a few months older than her daughter, could manage to make such a huge fortune at such a young age.
If it weren't for the name of Su Mu on the Forbes rich list, if she hadn't really bought the Empire State Building, she would have even thought that Su Mu was a liar, and now, the facts are in front of her, and she can't help but disagree with her old age, believing that this prospective son-in-law is really a brilliant business wizard.
Su Mu personally made an introduction, first visited the Penguin computer company near the end of the year, with the recent discount promotion, product sales skyrocketed, Aveline's face was confused, except for the computer on the table, she couldn't see any computer, and she was relieved to hear that there was a factory not far away.
If she can understand the value of Penguin, which makes and sells computers, then when she visits the Galaxy Group, which is more valuated, Lily's mother is completely confused, no matter how she thinks about it, she doesn't think that these people are tinkering in the computer room can be worth more than a billion dollars.
"Leon, what does this company do to make money?" Aveline, who had never used a computer before, asked a very layman's question at the moment, but it was the most critical question in the development of the entire Internet industry.
What do you make money on?
To tell the truth, Su Mu doesn't have much clue for the time being, he knows that the constantly expanding user base, the advertisements that people use to fry the concept, paid membership and other gimmicks, as an insider, Su Mu knows that those interests will definitely not support such a huge valuation.
At present, the vast majority of the Internet industry in Silicon Valley is selling concepts, which means that they are buying future interests, and it is likely that in the end, no one knows whether they can succeed, and the entire Internet companies that have just developed for a few years are groping forward in the dark.
"Except for the game development department, other departments can't make money for the time being, and the investment is far more than the return, and it is in a state of loss, and it may lose money for several years. However, there are many users who use our company's products, and they are all potential consumers, the number is as high as hundreds of thousands, and it is likely to be as high as millions or even tens of millions in the future, and at that time there are companies willing to spend money on us to sell, advertising is very valuable, and there are many other profitable items, such as wanting to get certain features, you need to pay to use them. ”
Aveline still didn't understand, and nodded to think that it seemed to be very high-end......
