Chapter 335: New Year's Greetings
Stand at the door of the room.
Before leaving, Su Mu stopped again to visit the old lady Lin who had decided to give the relief money he had helped recover back as a inheritance, and after watching for a while, he saw her sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, and sighed deeply.
In the first two years, there were occasional sober times, but recently they have been this muddy dementia, whether they can survive this year depends on luck, after a lifetime of hard work, they have enjoyed a few years of happiness in old age, and it is a very lucky thing.
Listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, Su Mu suddenly felt that he should do more, he had donated two million dollars to this nursing home just now, but it was far from enough, there were so many lonely and widowed elderly people in the entire Chinatown, and he couldn't afford the cost of the nursing home with some relief funds alone, and it was inconvenient to move when he was old, no one took care of him, and he didn't have the money to hire a nurse, which was really sad.
I thought about it for a long time on the way back, and as soon as I got home, I told my father that he planned to open a nursing home, specifically to take care of the unattended old Chinese in the surrounding areas, only charge a small amount of money, or directly do not collect money, just as charity, and also accept some donations from other rich people or institutions, it doesn't cost much, but it can make many lonely old people enjoy their old age in peace, Su Dingcai nodded immediately, thinking that this is a good thing.
No way, many old Chinese don't even know English, and they don't know what policy care they can enjoy, just Su Mu knows, there are many old people who live very poorly.
When he was very young, Su Mu saw a few words from the book - "self-cultivation", "Qi family", "governing the country", and "leveling the world".
The country does not need to be governed by Sumu, the world can also be called stable, and their own food and clothing are worry-free and do not worry about spending money, so they should really take some money out to do good deeds.
Donations alone will not work, and this will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
Many Chinese families are poor, not because Chinese are not diligent, but because compared with whites, blacks, etc., it is difficult for Chinese to find suitable jobs, and even if they have jobs, they will be the first to be laid off when they are laid off, and most of them can only do some work at the bottom of society.
Su Mu wants to provide more employment opportunities for these compatriots who are still living in the slums, even if he doesn't make money, as long as the company doesn't lose money, and can barely maintain a good balance of expenses, he regrets selling the Qugou supermarket at that time, but even if he stays in his hands back then, there will not be too many jobs that can be provided, after all, those supermarkets are scattered all over the place, and no one will be willing to go to work hundreds or thousands of kilometers away.
Parents were busy with their own hands, cleaning the old house, Su Mu went back to his desk to write and draw, the old radio station was placed on the left side of his desk, the last time the solar storm broke out, I accidentally heard the news of his untimely death from the old radio station, scared for many months, and then thought about it, I felt that the future should go to another development trajectory, so I can continue to live with peace of mind, social influence is already big enough, a decision may affect the future, from all aspects, the future has been mostly changed.
Su Mu also has evidence that the future has been changed, because after calling Lily at that time and asking her not to enter politics, the content that was being played on the radio suddenly changed, which shows that the future has changed due to his decision.
Thinking about how to solve the problem of difficult employment for local Chinese, only labor-intensive industries are the most suitable, the number of workers needed is large, and there is no need to have too high a level of knowledge, but for a while I didn't think of a suitable project.
Now the "Maple Leaf Book House" controlled by Su Mu, with the prototype of the online shopping industry, Su Mu knows that the development prospects of the online shopping industry are quite broad, and now it is just starting, the main types of goods on this website are books, video tapes, music tapes, etc., through the mailing of cash on delivery to complete the transaction, and so on in the future may require a lot of labor, especially truck drivers, delivery men and the like, but now it does not require too much manpower.
Caught in a difficult problem, when he was considering whether he should build an industrial park nearby, a guest who surprised him came to Su's house to pay New Year's greetings, only to hear his old man shouting in a surprised tone: "Qiao Wu, why are you here, there is nothing in the old house, go to the new house to sit later!"
Qiao Wuye, that is, the one who introduced Su Mu to Silicon Valley, is strictly speaking Su Mu's benefactor, if he hadn't gone to Menlo Park to study in 1984, it is difficult to say whether he would have achieved such an achievement as he is now.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Su Mu walked out of the door and greeted him warmly: "Fifth master, happy New Year......"
Since the last time he was taken by his grandfather to visit his company, he has never seen him again, Qiao Wuye's face has aged a lot, he is more than fifty years old, and his hair is all white. I didn't dye my hair like Old Man Su, so I was a few years younger than Old Man Su, but I looked older.
This Fifth Master Qiao is very good to the Su family, but in the eyes of others, he is an out-and-out underworld figure, Su Mu heard his grandfather say that Qiao was able to fight and dare to work hard in the fifth year because he could fight, dare to work hard, and pulled up a group of people to collect protection money to make some money, and later slowly laundered it to earn interest, earning tens of millions of dollars.
It's not that he hasn't been investigated by the police, but he has money and people in his hands, every time people think he is going to have an accident, someone always stands up for him, it is estimated that he was bought by Qiao Wuye with money, and he is more low-key when he gets older, and he has completely become a businessman in recent years.
Su Mu refuses to associate with this kind of person, and Old Man Su doesn't want his grandson to have anything to do with Fifth Master Qiao, after all, it is a relationship that is not offended or close, this is the case when he is poor, and even more so when he is rich, this kind of black identity is not something that can be washed if he wants to.
It is true that Qiao Wuye has become a businessman, and he does not get involved in those criminal businesses, but there are still many gangsters who beg for food under him.
I don't know why he came to visit, the Su family muttered in their hearts, but they didn't show it on their faces, they were very enthusiastic.
Qiao Wuye smiled on his face, and said in his mouth: "Don't be busy, I'll see you and leave, I came to this house when I was young, and it hasn't changed much over the years."
Xiao Su, now that you are developed, I often mention that you are my junior at the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and you will be stained with light, haha!"
"Where, I should thank you, I studied and stayed in Silicon Valley, I made some money in a daze, I just told my grandfather to bring some gifts to visit you, and now there are not many opportunities to go back to Los Angeles. ”
After listening to Su Mu's words, the old man Su who was open in his heart almost couldn't hold back his laughter, what to visit, he never mentioned it at all! Thinking about doing business, he really exercised people, he used to be like a stuffy gourd, but now he can actually say kind words, he smiled even more happily, and greeted and said: "Come on, what kind of gifts do you bring, let's go sit and talk, the chair has just been wiped, and we will go to the restaurant to get a meal in the evening......
