Chapter 178: Rite of Passage
A simple interview took more than half an hour.
The female reporter who works for The New York Times was keenly aware that people might be interested in Su Mu himself, whether he was a Chinese billionaire who ventured into high school or was involved in the high-tech industry and was associated with President-to-be George W. Bush, so the topic of inquiry after that focused on entrepreneurship.
The New York Times has a daily circulation of more than a million copies, and it usually costs tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to advertise on it, detailing the entrepreneurial process and business projects of Penguin, Spider and Fun Shopping Supermarket.
I have suffered the loss of the hypertext link patent, and this time I learned to be smart, and I never mentioned the Internet projects I was going to get involved in next, in case someone preemptively registered a patent, there would be no place to cry when the time came.
He was serious, and the female reporter listened carefully.
There are not many famous Chinese, mainly concentrated in the scientific research industry, and there are even fewer famous Chinese Americans.
The female reporter felt that his success could fully reflect the "spirit of the American dream", so before leaving, she told Su Mu that she would try her best to put the story on the front page of the business or social pages.
Su Mu couldn't find a reason to refuse, and after expressing his gratitude, he sent her to the elevator and left her contact information, which was also managing the relationship.
After spending more than $40 million to buy the Empire State Building, he hadn't told his family and friends the good news, and after Su Dingcai learned about it from his son, he was choked and coughed, and shouted in horror: "You bought the Empire State Building!?"
The Empire State Building on Manhattan Island, New York?!!"
"Well, the contract was just signed, and it's here with me. ”
Su Mu lay on the sofa, resting his legs on the edge of the coffee table, and then told his father: "After the formalities are completed, this building will become our home, I will buy it at my own private expense, and I plan to convert two of the floors into apartments, and you and my mother can come to live here when the time comes." ”
The son suddenly soared, and the joy was certain, but it also frightened the Su Mu family a lot, after so many years of being poor, there was always an unreal illusion of living a good life.
Daddy Su suddenly shouted, "Dad, wife, let's buy a plane ticket to New York! My son bought the Empire State Building!"
Through the phone, Su Mu clearly heard his grandfather screaming, and then heard the sound of the dishes being broken, and shouted, "What!?"
......
Su Mu is rich, and he doesn't treat his family badly at all.
He gave his family more than 6 million yuan before and after, and most of them were saved by Old Man Su after buying a house, and his father bought a restaurant and began to return to his old business to start a restaurant business.
Seeing the two elders making a fuss, he sighed and told his father: "Then buy a ticket and fly over, I was interviewed by a reporter from the New York Times just now, and it is estimated that many people will know me after tomorrow, and I want to help each of you find one or two bodyguards, otherwise you may be kidnapped at any time." ”
As soon as he heard this, Su Dingcai, who knew that "wealth is not exposed", instantly became nervous, and did not refuse, "Well, Fifth Master Qiao opened a security company, or look for him?"
"Forget it, what kind of security company, it's just a gang, isn't it sent to others by yourself. ”
Su Mu couldn't believe Qiao Wuye at all, when he was poor, there was nothing he could look at, but now the situation is different, it's hard to believe that he is a human being, he is a man who is involved in black and rich, and there are a gang of bandits under his hands, and everyone in Chinatown knows about it.
“...... Listen to you. ”
"Dad, you guys pack your things now, go to the airport to buy a ticket to New York, call me before you get on the plane, tell me which airport you will land at, and then I will ask someone to pick you up at the airport, you don't have to bring many things, there are all here." ”
After calling my father, and then calling Li Ping'an to report the good news, the guy was very excited and said that he wanted to come and see.
Because of the growing Penguin company, his 10 percent stake was worth about $20 million, and he was not very smart, and after attending several training courses, he stayed in the company to help oversee the factory's production.
As for Eucommia, Su Mu didn't forget it.
In 1985, he recommended Microsoft shares to him, Du Zhong's father thought that Su Mu had got inside information, so he ruthlessly bought more than 10,000 shares, and Su Mu privately lent Du Zhong 500,000 US dollars, so that he could make money and then return it to himself, which was a disguised pull.
He has made nearly $3 million so far, and now he attends school at Stanford, drives a Jaguar sports car, and has a very good life.
Lily is about to take a vacation, she is already preparing for graduation, and when she learned that Su Mujin bought the Empire State Building, she smiled calmly: "Congratulations, I plan to go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and start packing my things in the evening and taking a plane from New York JFK Airport." ”
Rhode Island also has a direct flight to Los Angeles, and walking from New York's JFK Airport is completely redundant, since that night after getting drunk, the two are only one step away from a relationship, Su Mu can't help but wonder if it was because of herself that she had the idea of coming to New York.
Following her words, she said, "Then I'll pick you up in Rhode Island, my parents should be here tonight, and they will have time later." ”
"It's three hours away, I'll go there by myself, do you want to take me to see your family?"
With a smile in her voice, Lily added, "Even if I go to New York, I still have to go back to Los Angeles tomorrow, and on the 14th I will have a coming-of-age ceremony, which will be held at my house, and you can come and participate." ”
Girls in Western societies attach great importance to the rite of passage, which means that they grow up, can make decisions about their own lives, and are able to participate in all kinds of social interactions.
Different places have different customs, some girls have a coming-of-age ceremony at the age of fifteen, others are set to be eighteen, Lily is twenty this year, and it would be a joke not to hold a coming-of-age ceremony.
Until now, it is not clear that Lily's family relationship should be very rich and powerful, and she has never talked about it.
She is already quite rich, Su Mu doesn't care about her family background, she just likes Lily's intelligence and understanding, and occasionally the phone can last for two or three hours, there are always endless topics, and you will feel comfortable when you are together, which is probably like.
"It turns out that you have a birthday on December 14th, I remember, of course I want to participate, and I will bring you a gift when the time comes, and I am now thinking about what to give.
I'm going to pick you up, just when I checked the inventory of assets, I found that the Empire State Building's self-operated hotel has two Rolls-Royces under its name, and finally I don't have to lie on the road and drive. ”
Su Mu is mocking Ferrari, the biggest difference between this kind of supercar and an ordinary car is that one sits and drives, the other lies down, and it is okay for short distances, but driving a supercar for long distances is simply torture.
Saying twice that she was going to pick her up, Lily liked the feeling of being cared for, and her voice came again: "It's getting more and more gentlemanly, I'm almost irresistible, come on young man, I'm very optimistic about you."
So...... Now I'm going to pack my things, and your family is here at night, shouldn't I dress pretty? But it's really cold now, and no matter how you wear it, you're going to be very fat, and it's been 115 pounds lately!"
With a height of about one meter seven and a weight of just over 100 catties, Su Mu looked at her figure, so thin that there was no excess fat, and said: "It's usually good like that, you have seen my grandfather, at the door of the Chinatown Social Security Administration, and he praised you for your beautiful ...... at that time" ()
