Chapter 6 American Communication
Gui Yiyou, although very philistine, but also helpless.
With the increasing disparity in wealth and status between friends, even if rich friends still want to maintain friendship, friends who are still poor may not want to keep it. Everyone has self-esteem, and the more capable and capable people are, the stronger their self-esteem.
If you want to be rich and noble, it is not easy to make friends, and friends who are rich and noble must take the initiative to contact them, so that poor friends feel that friends still need him. Li Jiaming is a human being in two lifetimes, knowing the preciousness of poor and lowly friends, so he has always taken the initiative to contact friends, birthdays, marriages, and children will send blessings and gifts, and he will also make a phone call to greet one or two in his spare time. Even if it is the New Year's Festival, it is to take the initiative to call for New Year's greetings and greetings, rather than using the now popular text messages.
It's good, Li Jiaming's friendship with his friends is very good, and while the students and girls are on summer vacation, he invited Mao Ling and his gang to come to the United States to play. The guys also agreed, and when they got their passports, they dragged their families to come with their mouths, and they also brought Wanwan and their gang by the way.
Li Jiaming pulled the fourth brother and Qiao Qiao, who were obsessed with experiments every day, accompanied the children and their wives and children to play crazy for half a month, and then sent them on the plane back to China. Wanwan, who was having a good time, didn't leave, even if a few little nephews forced her, she had to rely on her brother. The most spoiled person in the family is her brother, and it is her sister who disciplines her.
On the contrary to her, Li Jiaming's nephews, nieces, and nephews are all afraid of him. Even if I played with them for more than ten days, I still only remember beating them (them) before, and when I saw that my aunt (sister-in-law) didn't go back, I would go with my cousin and cousins, for fear that my uncle (uncle) would let him (her) study in the United States.
Remember what to eat!
The adults laughed and scolded a few times, put on the gifts and pulled the suitcases on the plane, and Wanwan, who had been hiding behind her brother, saw her mother enter the passage, and then flashed out to say goodbye.
"Brother, I want to raise fish. ”
This child has liked goldfish since he was a child, and he hasn't changed since he was so old, Li Jiaming, who was waving at everyone, picked Wanwan up, put it on his shoulder, and promised: "Okay"
"Kept in the pool!"
The swimming pool should be disinfected and changed regularly, but Li Jiaming didn't want to think about it, so he promised to come down.
"Plant some more fish beard grass in it, you can grow it yourself!"
"Hey", Wanwan sat on her brother's neck excitedly, jumping and shouting to go home to plant aquatic plants and raise goldfish.
Wanwan stayed, Li Jiaming's manor like a weekend resort also began to look like home, and she had to drive back every day to take care of the goldfish in the swimming pool, so it was better to live there. Since he has to live here every day, those idle pots and pans come in handy, Li Jiaming's good cooking skills have attracted the support of many friends, and the popularity of the manor is getting higher and higher.
Loving family, being able to cook, and Wanwan, who is very fluent in English, often plays with children in the neighborhood, in this rich area, Li Jiaming, who is known as Jerry's second, has been recognized, and neighbors began to invite their brothers and sisters to the party, and they will also take the initiative to come to his party. Even Kyle's family of four often comes here for authentic Chinese food, not the improved Chinese food in Chinese restaurants.
"Ming, can you still swim in this pool?"
Looking at this pool of blue waves** aquatic plants and goldfish, Li Jiaming also had a little headache, he didn't expect the child's creativity to be so rich. A few little white girls and boys, plus Wanwan, who has strong hands-on ability, can grow a pond of aquatic plants.
"Estimated, maybe, maybe, can't. ”
Kyle, who was carrying a beer bottle in her hand, counted the goldfish in the pool, and then looked at the three little girls who were lying on the edge of the pool to catch goldfish, and suddenly laughed strangely.
"Ming, do you know how much this ornamental fish costs?"
Americans' culture of money and things is different from that of Chinese, and Li Jiaming is easy to think left.
"About $1.5/piece, I bought it in Chinatown, Los Angeles, and I bought 1,000 pieces in total. ”
With a 'porphyr', Kyle squirted beer into the open space next to her, and said with a smile, "Y theirs are $10 a piece." They borrowed $41 from me to buy the goldfish today, and they promised to pay me back for cleaning. ”
"What?"
Li Jiaming hurriedly looked at the goldfish in the pool carefully, and found that it was nearly one-third less, how much money did this kid make? Mom, Xiaomei and Manmei have taught a monster?
"Very business-minded, well-trained. ”
Awesome, I'm a pseudo-genius, I didn't expect to have a real little genius sister. No wonder she wanted to turn the pool into a fish pond, it turned out to be convenient for her to sell fish. It's not right, how can children understand this, they must see other children who think it's funny, and this little money fan takes the opportunity to sell fish to make money.
"It's not illegal, is it?"
Kyle poured beer, watched the three *-year-old little girls bargain, and pampered: "They are angels, and if the IRS people dare to find trouble, their jobs will be smashed by taxpayers." ”
That's good, Li Jiaming is afraid of the laws of the Americans, not to mention that the tax bureau is still staring at the rich. Poor people can work in the dark and not file taxes, and rich people like him don't hire a professional lawyer to help, and if they are not careful, they will let those fucked laws fall into trouble.
"Hey, how's the conversation with Jerry?"
Kyle shrugged his shoulders and said lightly, "Almost, promise to buy 5% of the shares." With $600 million in cash, you should be able to handle Qualcomm's business. I want to mortgage 20% of the company's shares after the construction of the research institute is completed, and then we will go to an investment institution, which is not cost-effective to introduce an investment institution as a shareholder. ”
Li Jiaming didn't turn a corner for a while, and Kyle explained: "Ming, you are used to spending a lot of money, and you want people to pay two billion at once, how is that possible?"
, Li Jiaming couldn't cry or laugh, he really did something wrong about this, he wanted to diversify the risk, but he didn't think about the risk for others.
“good!”
Kyle drew a circle in the air with a beer bottle, and drew the scattered manors in the distance, suggesting: "Ming, if the 600 million is not enough, we can find these people to IPO." It is not easy for these young rich people to pay hundreds of millions of cash at one time, but it is not difficult to have 10 million or 20 million, and they all have their own connections and are in the rising stage of their careers. ”
Li Jiaming also glanced at the manor and mansion in the distance thoughtfully, Kyle saw that he was moved, and explained: "Ming, an investment institution has the benefits of an investment institution, but it is an investment institution after all, and for our HH company, it can't bring us the connections we need most." The U.S. is a business community, but connections are still important, and without Ms. Agnese's introduction, it would have been difficult for me to meet Columbia Records' top management. ”
That's the reason, the people you know on paty are only one-sided friends after all, and if you can make everyone friends through business, many things will be much easier to do. Although it is difficult for these ordinary friends to lend a helping hand in difficult times, they are very likely to become a help to the company when things are going well.
"Okay, I'll talk to them when our institute has made real progress. ”
