Chapter 309: Steward
The human mind is quite complex.
Han Chudong still remembers that when he first started his business, the first thought in his head after waking up every day was to make money, even if he bought a Mustang or a very good house, he could feel happy.
With the increase of wealth, even if you buy a large Hawaiian estate worth more than 10 million US dollars, it is difficult to experience the satisfaction of buying a mustang in the first place, and tend to pursue deeper pursuits.
It is a reason to promote the development of human society by doing charity and researching and developing new technologies with some super-rich people, and simple material enjoyment can no longer make Han Chudong care too much.
So when he found out that he had the ability to change the world, the idea of sharing advanced ideas and trying to open up new markets together with others spread wildly in his mind, and he was a little excited for a long time.
Calculate the time.
If the world's top scientific research institutions, top think tanks, investors, and official executives know what they should do and avoid detours like Han Chudong, then the overall development process of the IT industry can definitely be accelerated by at least five years.
For example, the use of Alto computers to access the Internet and query stock information from computers has actually become a reality on the campus of Stanford University, but it seems that no one except Han Chudong thinks about what it would be like if this technology could be popularized, or even go further, such as directly allowing individuals to use computers for stock trading.
I quietly made up my mind to change the world, but I can't become fat in one bite, so I still have to take my time.
As soon as the curtain opened, Helena Bergman, as an audience, was just thinking about her internship at this time, and she couldn't empathize with Han Chudong's excitement.
Han Chudong gave her an opportunity to intern at DreamWorks Film Studio, and then participate in the crew and experience a small role.
So Helena decided to rent a small apartment in Hollywood and stay there until the beginning of the school year in early March.
Before that, I had to go home, so after I settled in Los Angeles, I had to go back to Washington in a few days.
accompanied Han Chudong to travel and vacation during the holidays, and he didn't even go home for dinner on Christmas Eve, and he couldn't say anything if he didn't see his parents again.
Helping to pick a brand new apartment, leaving a female bodyguard to accompany her, Han Chudong dropped his credit card and drove back to Beverly Hills alone.
Just in January, the Garden of the Gods, located in the Highlands, was about to officially start construction.
Arthur's assistant helped to grind the hard bubbles, and even used the way of buying off the community management committee, and finally after making various concessions, he got a majority vote in favor and was allowed to let the big truck transport building materials up the mountain.
For safety reasons, Han Chudong's family has purchased real estate in advance, officially moved into Beverly Hills, and the living environment finally matches the value, the new house has a total of 14 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, and the purchase price of the toilet alone has reached more than 20,000 US dollars.
Exaggerated German-style large-roof building, and the surrounding garden and grassland perfect combination, last year before buying that large piece of land, Han Chudong also came to see this mansion, did not expect to finally buy it, the daily necessities are very complete, the family came to move in only brought some clothes, old photos, etc., specially invited an old housekeeper from the United Kingdom, who served George VI when he was young.
George VI, who is also ******'s father, died more than 20 years ago, and because of this experience, the old butler named Brooke broke out of the encirclement and won this high-paying job with an annual salary of more than 30,000 US dollars.
When Han Chudong entered the door with a trolley suitcase, he found that the home was well organized, neat and beautiful, and he couldn't help but sigh that the money was not spent in vain, and the living environment had been improved by more than one grade.
Placing the box by the door, he told Old Brooke's butler, "There are only some clothes in there, and the papers are on the table in my study, but what about my parents?"
"It seems that you went to visit Ocean Park, and your father didn't start his vacation until the day before yesterday, during which time he was still tracking down the kidnapper, and Madame went out with him in the morning and would not be back until the evening. ”
Brooke Butler is still not used to the job.
The cultural atmosphere is different, he used to be very busy, and after coming to Han Chudong's house to work, he suddenly became relaxed, cleaning and washing clothes with the help of a nanny, and the Chinese chef couldn't even figure out what ingredients he needed to purchase, so that he had a bit of a sense of coming to care for the elderly, and always felt that he had nothing to do.
Han Chudong knew that his Lao Tzu was distressed because of the loss of a large amount of money, and at this moment he thought that it would be good to go out for a walk, so he nodded and continued to speak: "I haven't eaten yet, let the chef cook me a beef noodle, has anything happened during this time?"
Thinking about it, Brooke replied, "No, there was a party in the community at Christmas, and someone came to invite you to it, but you weren't at home and missed the New Year's party. There were still people in the community who came to look for you, and I wrote down the door number and contact information, and they didn't say what they came for. ”
"That's okay, it's just for socializing, if there's something really important, I'm sure I'll come back again. How are you with me, can you fit in?"
"It's very comfortable, and your family respects me. It's just that recently my daughter may bring her grandson to visit me in Los Angeles, can you let them come and see my working environment at that time? Absolutely nothing will be disturbed, pick a time when you are not at home, just come and visit for a while, I am leaving the UK for the first time to work, and they are worried about me. ”
"Of course, even if it's for a few nights, the rooms are unused, and I don't have many close relatives, so the rooms are purely furnishings. ”
Han Chudong didn't care at all.
After a short exchange, I went upstairs with the thanks of Brooke's housekeeper, and after coming to the comfortable and beautiful spacious study, I first made a phone call to the company, and asked people to send last year's financial report and the documents that need to be processed recently.
Knowing that the fourth-quarter financial statements were estimated to wait a week for the results to be available, he ended up just asking them to send in recent operating data and pending documents, and Beverly Hills was a bit far from the city center, and he didn't bother to go to the company to get it himself.
In December last year, two helicopters had been ordered at the end of the year, spending more than $3 million, and it is expected that the renovation work will be completed in two weeks, and it will be easier to travel by then being able to park on the helipad not far from home, and there are two helipads on the roof of the office building under construction, which are exclusively for internal use.
First open the recent letters, even if the paper cutter is at hand, still rude open the letters, a total of thirty or forty letters, both invitations and postcards from new friends, official letters sent to the company, will not appear in his new home......
