Chapter 220: Speech
Gregorian was about to go to the kitchen to pour tea, and when he noticed that they each had a cup of coffee, he stopped and reached out for them to sit on the couch.
"These two are Han Xuan's parents, they're very young, I really don't understand how to educate him, it's great!
Tell me about your experience, if you can be like him, you can promote it all over the United States. ”
Han Qianshan and his wife wanted to talk and stopped, their son had never let them worry about it since he was a child, he didn't teach anything, he learned it all by himself, except for asking him for a tutor, it took a lot of money to apply to the court, and he really couldn't think of anything else.
“…… Principal Gregoryan, I ...... I don't know, maybe it's because I read a lot of books, so I'm naturally smart. "Father Han is embarrassed.
"Okay, there is a little genius who is really worry-free, my son was worried about me back then, may I ask who you are?"
Guo Muzhou smiled: "Quark, his grandfather, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"I thought Han was coming alone, sit down, Isabelle, please help me bring the salad from the fridge, Harris, you stay here, don't steal it." ”
When Gregorian had finished speaking, he asked, "Is there anything going on this time?" and if I were to ask about learning, I would say that he was very good.
Brown doesn't rank students, but Han Xuan's grades are all A+, and the teachers speak highly of him, but he doesn't like to get along with his classmates, maybe there is an age gap, which is not a big problem. ”
"I happened to be in New York, so I stopped by to see him, he hadn't left us before, so I wasn't very reassured. Guo's mother put her arms around Han Xuan and said, "Now it seems that he is doing well, thank you for taking care of him, Principal Gregory." ”
"Haha, it's okay, I love children very much, living with them makes me feel young. Gregorian looked at his old classmates, "Last time, the donation improved the canteen environment and added a Chinese restaurant. I've always felt that the decline in obesity has something to do with it. ”
"And then?" Old Man Han looked wary.
"The Ministry of Education has too much financial burden, and those damn politicians would rather build useless buildings than spend money on education.
The funding is still the same as it was six years ago, but over the years Brown has seen a 17 percent increase in student numbers and a 26 percent increase in faculty numbers. The year-end scholarship hasn't been settled yet, and you want to ......"
"No, I don't want to. ”
"As one of Brown's best graduates, you should repay it!"
Seeing that his old classmates didn't play their cards according to common sense, Gregorian exclaimed with wide eyes, as if in disbelief, "There are news about your company on all TV stations in the United States, don't think I don't know that I'm making a lot of money again."
Also, remember the prom!? Your grandson should be willing to listen to that. ”
The old man immediately sat up straight. Red-faced and said, "You swore to God that you wouldn't say it!"
"I still respect God, but now I'm an atheist. ”
“…… It's definitely a good thing that Brown has a principal like you. ”
Hearing the sarcasm, Gregorian snorted and ignored it, deciding that he had eaten him, and his eyes swept over Han Xuan's body, and he stopped talking.
"Okay, okay! I'll give Brown one more donation, only two requests. ”
"What?"
"First. In these two years, SOS Group can give priority to recruiting graduates in schools. ”
"In the event that they are voluntary. ”
"Nonsense, I'm sure I'm not going to force it.
Han Xuan has a lot of work to do next. You'll also have to help him get his leave of absence. ”
"What should I be, I promised you, come, eat some fruit, help you prepare the classroom, and come with me after eating." The students are waiting. ”
"Huh?"
"Speech, I arranged a speech for you, happy, right?"?
"!"
……
Gregorian got his hands on it.
Han Xuan sat in the lecture hall and looked around, they were basically finance students, and he could recognize some of his classmates. At least three hundred people were present, and there was not enough space, and there was a large area standing behind it, and Mr. Pierce also came.
There is a lot of arguing with each other, and if you want to say that the top three entrepreneurs who have been in the limelight recently, there will definitely be a place for Mr. Han.
The student in the next seat happily said to his companion that he was lucky to come to school early and that he had encountered such a lucky thing, which was often reported by the TV station, and it was easy to calculate the profit obtained by the SOS Group this time, and his words were full of reverence.
The old man walked up to the podium and looked at his grandson with a wry smile, and the shaking companion next to Han Xuan, "Mr. Han has seen me!"
“……”
"I went to school at Brown for a few years in the fifties, and I sat in your seat and listened, and I was in the same mood as you when Mr. Bertarelli, the vice president of Coca-Cola, came to give a speech.
Your headmaster, Gregorian, is my classmate, but he studied education, and I was in the management department, and he was in a hurry to give a speech, in fact, I don't know what to say, you can ask me questions, that's it, do you have questions?"
A female classmate raised her hand and shouted: "Regarding the development history of the SOS Group, the rise is too sudden, and the library can't find its information. ”
"History?
At the beginning of the century, my ancestors smuggled over and became a railway construction worker, with a meager salary to support the family, and the economic conditions were very difficult.
When my grandfather was in his forties, he opened the first Sunday convenience store in Chinatown, Los Angeles, hoping to improve his life with it.
It took two years to open a second branch, Chinatown? No, it wasn't in Chinatown anymore, the store was rented, and a Southeast Asian worker was hired, and I remember his name as Ba Song.
At that time, there were wars and an unprecedented economic crisis, but because of the addition of one store, the profits were even higher.
A white policeman had his sights on the two shops, relying on the unjustified Act of 1882 concerning the Enforcement of the Provisions of the Chinese Treaty, and not only beat him, but also forcibly sent my ancestors back.
My grandfather sold all his possessions in exchange for three certificates of residence, temporary residence certificates without any civil rights.
He started working again, and after accumulating enough money to open a store, he went west of Los Angeles to open another convenience store to avoid the police, and my father and grandmother stayed in Chinatown to see him for two hours.
Things didn't get a little better until the '50s, when SOS had just opened its eleventh branch in Los Angeles, and I was admitted to Brown University because of the high tuition fees, and I would try to get a scholarship every semester to support myself.
At that time, other schools would reduce the number of scholarships for Chinese people, or even cancel their qualifications, but Brown University was different, so I loved it very much.
When I graduated in 1954, my family had more than 20 branches, my grandfather was in his seventies, and handed over the business to my father, who failed to get a loan from the bank, and then joined a few friends to open a small bank called East West Bank, raising the annual interest rate to 9%, attracting Chinatown residents to deposit money in it, and then using it to expand the SOS convenience store to pay the interest, and the number of stores suddenly increased to "(To be continued. )
