Chapter 193: Spending Money to Buy Peace (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
I don't usually have much contact with Chinese, but Mr. George Bush still remembers Su Mu.
On the day of the Yale meeting, it was voting day, and after my father chatted with Su Mu, he released the news that he would rely on the IT industry to create 3 million jobs, and it was hard to forget.
At that time, the "New York Times" exaggerated Su Mu's role, but in fact, the news about the increase in so many jobs during his term of office was released by members of Bush's staff team, combined with the current speed of the IT industry, and slightly exaggerated.
Judging from the rapid expansion of the IT industry in recent years, it is indeed possible to create so many job opportunities if the user base is further expanded, and President Reagan has already set a plan to vigorously advocate the development of the IT industry during the administration, and Vice President Bush Sr. is just taking advantage of the trend.
Banks, stock exchanges, airports, schools, and countless other companies are all using personal computers, and the thinkers of the staff team believe that if not three million, it is not far off.
Seeing Su Mu greeting him, Mr. Bush replied with a smile: "My brother's son, his father left this little guy here with me, so he came to the party tonight, why are you here?"
"Lily is my girlfriend and used to go to the same school, we happened to meet her on the day we met and continued to keep in touch to celebrate her birthday. ”
Su Mu raised the gift in his hand and said.
Bush Sr. is Lily's godfather, Mr. Bush Jr. has known her for a long time, and after hearing it, he smiled in surprise and said, "Wow, it's really fate!"
You make a lot of money, she is a very obedient girl, I used to buy ice cream for Lily, I remember living in our house during the summer vacation in seven or nine years, everyone likes her very much, if you dare to make her angry in the future, I will beat you as a brother!"
"No, sir, I know she's worth cherishing, have you seen Lily?"
"Not yet, we'll start later, this is my wife, Laura......"
Often without contact, the relationship fades, the two parties deliberately maintain the relationship, and the chat atmosphere is pleasant.
The mayor of Los Angeles, Mr. Linus Schmidt, was a little embarrassed when he interjected on the side, but Su Mu had not forgotten his existence and had known him under Mr. Bush's introduction.
Knowing that Su Mu actually grew up in Los Angeles Chinatown, and now his family also lives in Los Angeles, Mayor Schmidt was so shocked that he couldn't speak, as the mayor, of course, he knew what the living environment was like in Chinatown, and he didn't expect such a character to appear.
Maintaining a relationship with the current mayor is not much help to Su Mu personally, his business is not only in Los Angeles, nor will he live in Los Angeles for a long time, but knowing Mayor Schmidt can help the Chinese compatriots living in Chinatown to obtain better rights and interests.
in the crowd.
A young man with a champagne glass in his hand was frowning at Su Mu.
Su Mu noticed the other party's gaze and guessed that this pale, emaciated guy was the member of the Getty family that Lily's mother wanted to introduce to her.
The descendants of the Getty family hated their grandparents, Paul Getty, and at the same time worshipped him, and there were several people called Paul Getty in the entire Getty family, such as Paul Getty III, a third-generation member of the famous Getty family who was kidnapped and had one of his ears cut off, who survived and became addicted to illegal drugs and women, and eventually suffered a stroke, hemiplegia, vision loss, and could not speak.
This family seems to have fallen under a spell, whether it is the second or third generation, most of them do not die well, especially after getting the trust fund and getting rich again, scandals come out one after another.
If Mr. Paul Getty, the notoriously miserly oil magnate, were still alive, Sumu would probably show respect, regardless of his personality, and his abilities were admirable.
However, what Su Mu saw now was just a group of Getty family members who relied on the achievements of their ancestors and were unmotivated to eat, drink and die, except for a few people who worked hard to make money, and more people were lying on the mountain of gold waiting to die, which was not worthy of admiration, and compared with the talented Rockefeller family.
Although the Rothschild family, which is quite famous in Europe, has declined, there are still very capable descendants, representing the family walking in the upper class, while the Getty family is not, and is destined to decline after being divided.
The curse of "no more than three generations of wealth" is not only unique to the East, but also to many famous families in the West.
The same is true of Lily's family, after the separation, they run their own businesses, thanks to the excellent family style, they are trying to turn the inheritance into more money, but after all, it began to decline, and the influence is not as great as before.
If it weren't for the relationship between their family and the Bush family, and the fact that Lily's mother, Aveline, was a close relative of President George H.W. Bush's wife, Barbara Bush, there would be no chance of how many people would have come to tonight's coming-of-age ball, at least not as lively as it is today.
The rival in love saw the rival in love, Su Mu had a good impression of this guy, and it was strange to see that the other party glared at him, and then glared back, as if he was looking at a loser, and he was not willing to suffer at all.
can't compare to the "older generation" such as Gates and Ellison, but among his peers, Su Mu thinks that no one has made more money than himself, and his confidence has long been slowly growing as he gets richer, and he still has arrogance, even if it is the Getty family.
Bush Jr. talked with Su Mu for a long time, and as a real heavyweight tonight, the guests' eyes were always attracted by Bush Jr., and Su Mu was also seen by the way.
Someone whispered to ask who the yellow-skinned young man was, and the other party happened to have read a report about Su Mu in the "New York Times", and replied: "Very powerful little guy, worth almost a billion dollars, opening several companies." ”
After hearing this, the questioner gasped in fright, and asked suspiciously, "But he is so young." ”
"Who knows, it's true, otherwise how could George W. Bush be so kind......"
Su Mu is talking to Mr. Bush about business, and Vice President Bush Sr.'s eldest son is not yet in politics, mainly helping the Bush family take care of business, and intends to take advantage of the US president's ride, trying to sell the idea of chat software, and saying that he wants to find someone to cooperate.
Bush Jr. is not stupid, and many people have recently tried to tempt him with benefits, and after exchanging business cards, he agreed to talk in detail at dinner tomorrow night, after all, he is a businessman, and he was successfully moved by the prospect of "a minimum 100 times return" described by Su Mu, and said that he would invest a little money in his private name.
The US president did not make money when he was in office, but after leaving office, who is not worth more than 10 million yuan and legally invests in business, Bush Jr. is not worried about causing trouble for his father.
It's really helpless to say.
If it weren't for his own strength being too weak, Su Mu would have made such a decision and spent money to buy safety for the company's development in the next few years.
He has a request for others, the other party wants to make money, and the partnership is mostly peaceful, the Bush family's talisman is strong enough, and it is also very famous, don't worry about the lion opening his mouth in the future, continue to ask for more benefits, and he must be afraid of being exposed by Su Mu.
Using the benefits of the future to buy a "political pass" for the present is not a loss in Su Mu's opinion, and with this intangible business card, it will be more convenient to enter the top circles in the United States in the future.
As a Chinese, it is difficult to socialize in the United States, and after hearing the news of George W. Bush's arrival on the phone today, he pondered whether he should mention the partnership.
After thinking about the gains and losses, I think it is necessary......
