282 A Historic Meeting?

Two days later, in the afternoon, Su Zhen and Lux, who had returned to the ranch, took Xiao Tingting to Kroenke's ranch to attend Kroenke's grandson's birthday party.

Lux came back the next day after Tingting participated in football training sessions, in fact, her mother Kelly had completed all the treatments a few days ago, but Lux arranged her life after being discharged from the hospital, so it was delayed for a few more days, in fact, Lux also mentioned to Kelly that she should come to live with Wyoming, Su Zhen has no opinion on this, but Kelly disagrees, the United States is not China, Americans pay special attention to private space and personal independence, so after the children get married, there are few people who live with their parents, Of course, this is not absolute.

Since Kelly was unwilling, Lux naturally couldn't be reluctant, so after Kelly said that she thought the environment in Utah was good, Lux simply bought a small farm there for Kelly to live in, which Kelly didn't refuse.

"So, Xiao Tingting has a boyfriend?" After listening to Su Zhen say about Xiao Tingting and Nick Kroenke, Lux asked with a slight smile, after that training session, Su Zhen once again realized that he didn't care enough about his sister, so he learned everything about his sister from all aspects, and learned that Tingting's best relationship at school was the little guy of the Kroenke family, who always played together and were inseparable when they were at school, and even the teacher often joked that the two little guys were boyfriend and girlfriend.

"What kind of boyfriend, it's just a little friend who is just playing" Su Zhen couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, although he knew that Lux was just joking. It's just that he still feels a little unhappy, which is similar to the feeling of many fathers when they learn that their daughters are in love, although Su Zhen is Su Ting's elder brother, but because of the age gap, especially Su Zhen's two lives combined, he is more than forty years old, so to a large extent, the relationship between him and Ting is more like a father and daughter than a brother and sister, but in fact, this is also normal, isn't there a saying that the eldest brother is like a father in China.

And even if the two children really date in the future, it's not a big deal, and there is no such thing as early love in the United States. In the education of Americans. "Dating" and "dating" are two different concepts. "Dating" is when a man and a woman start to socialize and learn to get along with the opposite sex, and the boyfriend and girlfriend who are dating may have intimate behavior. But it's important to note that dating is not a promise of marriage. The main purpose is also not for this. In middle school, and even elementary school, many students in the United States have boyfriends and girlfriends. Parents also encourage boyfriends and girlfriends to socialize alone, and schools are more likely to arrange events such as dance parties or "Valentine's Day confessions" to encourage male and female students to date. Americans believe that dating can help people learn how to get along with the opposite sex, how to learn respect, accommodation, compromise and responsibility, which is an indispensable and important part of the growth of teenagers. If a person gets married without three or five dates, it will make people feel that the person is a bit perverted. Because dating is "learning to fall in love", parents are not worried that their children will marry or marry this person in the future; At the same time, in dating relationships, breakups are also very common, because in the process of learning to communicate, it is better to break up at the age of fifteen than at the age of twenty-five. Experiencing a breakup and breakup from a certain age can be very beneficial for a person's personality growth and maturity. After many dates, the relationship between the two parties has entered a mature stage, which is called "love", and then they begin to think about marriage. Chinese often think that the relationship between American men and women is very casual and free, in fact, most traditional Americans are very serious about love and marriage, and successful marriage is one of the symbols of success in career. The freedom of American men and women that Chinese see is actually their freedom to "date", and when it comes to real "love", everyone is very serious, because the purpose is to see if they can get married. After dating at a young age, American men and women in love have been able to date in a very mature way, considering all the financial, emotional, and future family plans of two people together. Will the behavior of dating lead to side effects such as students' lack of desire to study or teenage pregnancy? Absolutely! However, because American society prohibits "dating" as an absolutely forbidden "puppy love" behavior, but gives correct guidance, American schools have been educating students on how to deal with the psychological and physical problems in dating since elementary school.

As for this, as a Chinese, Su Zhen may feel a little awkward in this matter, but he can only accept it, after all, he is now in the United States. And he is absolutely, in this regard, the Chinese people are quite sad, they are forbidden to interact in their teens, and they beat mandarin ducks with all kinds of sticks, so that when they get to college, many people don't know how to get along with the opposite sex, and after four years of college, relatives and friends are all kinds of urging, "Did you force you to get married?" "It has become a big social problem for young people, but the key is that those young people don't want to get married, of course not, many people will use the excuse that they haven't met the right one, but in fact they don't know what kind of road is suitable for themselves~~~

Soon Su Zhen drove to the Kroenke family's ranch.

American families generally attach great importance to their children's birthdays, and always try to hold a party, invite the children's classmates, parents, and familiar relatives and friends to gather together, and celebrate the child's birthday lively, and hold a birthday party can be at home, but generally because of the limited space at home, sometimes there are more people invited, then it will be very crowded, and the entertainment conditions at home are limited, the children may not have enough fun, and the parents who are ready to party will also be very hard, Therefore, in the United States, there is a company that specializes in celebrating children's birthdays, and the company's premises have sound children's entertainment and catering facilities, and there will be a host to preside over the birthday celebration.

However, as a side branch of the Walton family, one of the richest families in the United States, and also a number of wealthy people, the Kroenke family naturally does not have the above problems, so this time almost all the classmates and parents of the little guy were invited, and all the members of the Walton family also attended.

The Waltons are a family that values family relationships very seriously, and the family hosts more than three family parties a year, with the most frequent parties taking place in the Walton family's home in Bentonville, northern Arkansas, the birthplace of the famous Wal-Mart. And whenever there are various things in the family, even if it is a birthday of a child like Nick, it will become an opportunity for family members to get together.

But unlike some rich people in China who like to show off when they hold a birthday party for their children, although the scale of this party is relatively large, it will not seem extravagant, and there is no maid or the like, almost everything is handled by the Walton family members, baking their own cakes, cookies and pies, and drinks are also some of their own freshly squeezed juice, and the atmosphere of the whole party is also very relaxed, just like an ordinary family, and the guests are also treated equally, and there is no difference because Su Zhen is a super-rich man. It doesn't turn the party into a place for adults to socialize, after all, the children are the protagonists of the party.

The process of the party was very simple, the main food of the dinner was pizza and pie, although it was very simple, but there were so many friends there, and the children ate very happily.

After eating, it is time to sing birthday songs, blow out candles, and divide cakes.

After a delicious cake, it's time for the kids to have a blast, and for the party, the Kroenke family has prepared a variety of entertainment facilities at home, including trampolines, inflatable slides, and more.

After having had enough, the children took a group photo and then it was time to say goodbye.

However, after the party, Su Zhen did not leave immediately, but came to a side room at the invitation of Josh Kroenke, where Su Zhen met several powerful figures of the Walton family, Helen Walton, one of the founders of Walmart and the widow of the founder Sam Walton, and his three sons.

"Hello, young man, welcome to little Nick's birthday party, this is Tingting, right, what a lovely child" The kind old woman said to Su Zhen with a smile. The old man had a car accident a few years ago, and his body was greatly affected, so he almost did not appear in front of the media after that, so this is the first time Su Zhen has met the old man, but the old man's three sons - Rob, the chairman of Wal-Mart, Jim, a banker who controls other businesses of the Walton family, and John Walton, the youngest son who used to be a special soldier, participated in the Vietnam War, and now controls the family education charity fund, have more or less met at some of the drinking parties they have attended before.

"It's an honor, madam" Su Zhen also greeted with a smile, in fact, he was very curious, why Walton would invite him to meet after the party, you must know that he and Walton can be said to have no business contact, if there is, that is, some products produced by his agricultural company will be sold in Walmart supermarkets, but Wal-Mart suppliers like his ranch company have thousands in the world, and there is no need to invite himself to talk alone. And the number of products of his agricultural company on the shelves of Wal-Mart is not much, because Wal-Mart can be said to be notoriously picky about suppliers, and the agricultural company takes the high-end route, so the two sides are not very compatible, and he did not think at all that this meeting will have an impact on the business model of the United States and even the world.
