Chapter 457: Class Reunion

After arriving in Los Angeles, Morris, who learned the news, also came to pick up the opportunity, and Cheng Yu settled Vincent's mother and son in his former apartment.

Morris took the initiative to ask about the situation of the mother and son, and Cheng Yu gave him a general introduction.

Compared with students like Morris, although Cheng Yu may have lived in the United States for a longer time, because he doesn't like to leave campus very much, there are some things that Morris doesn't understand as much.

Knowing that Cheng Yu planned to let Vincent's mother and son settle in the United States, Cheng Yu also planned to help Vincent's mother arrange a job within his ability, and Vincent was going to stay in Los Angeles to study, Morris thought for a while and gave Cheng Yu a suggestion.

"Cheng, Vincent's enrollment and this aunt's work are actually very easy to solve, and there is a place to live, and you are empty here, and you won't care about the rent you rent.

However, you can't take care of them all the time, after all, even if Vincent's mother finds a suitable job, the two of them are poor in Los Angeles, and they have a lot of expenses to spend in the early stage, and you say that you will be responsible for Vincent's tuition and other expenses, which is probably inevitable.

But you can't send them money every month, and one of our classmates seems to have a family that seems to be doing insurance, and I think it's most appropriate to give it to them for things like trust funds.

This way, Vincent and his mother will be able to receive enough money at the time you set, without you having to worry about it and not worrying about them wasting your investment.

What do you think of that?"

Although Cheng Yu is not actually worried that Vincent's mother and son will waste their money because of their lavish spending, it would be better if there was such a trust fund that could handle these things on their behalf.

He nodded and said, "It's better for you to think about it." ”

"In addition, regarding the enrollment and work of their mother and son, in fact, many of our classmates who enrolled together have branches or investments in Los Angeles, and I think they will be more familiar with these than I am. If you don't mind, I'll be the boss tonight, invite them to dinner together, and when the time comes, you can tell Vincent about the matter of Mother and Son, and they will definitely help solve it. This way, you will also be able to save a lot of thought. ”

Cheng Yu smiled: "Then it's troublesome for you, but I'll do it for the East, there's no reason for you to contribute and spend money." ”

Morris laughed and said, "It doesn't matter, neither you nor I are short of this little money."

If it weren't for the fact that you suddenly took enough credits in advance and went back to China, we heard that you rejected Professor Rogers' offer to make you his Ph.D. student, and we really couldn't remember to look into your background.

Don't you know, how shocked we were when we heard that Rogers had asked you to be his PhD student, but you actually turned it down.

Then some people say, you must have an extremely strong background, otherwise, Professor Rogers's doctoral student, that is Professor Rogers, you would actually refuse.

As a result, after a check, we learned that your father was Mr. Cheng Guangnian.

Although your father's actual wealth has always been a mystery, it is conservatively estimated that he is also among the 50 richest people in the world.

You're so low-key. ”

In this regard, Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said: "If I tell you, I don't know how much money my father has, and I don't know how big his business is, do you believe it or not?"

Morris's face was full of scorn, but when he saw Cheng Yu's sincere face, he was shocked again, and said, "You don't really know, do you?"

Let me tell you, there is a course in our school this year, which includes a case study of your father's past business career.

Other entrepreneurs, even if they are used as cases, are only one or two of them that are particularly exciting.

But your father is not, and the case analysis of your father has been throughout his career, from his first business after entering the business world, to the recent establishment of Qianjin Company. ”

Cheng Yu was also speechless about this, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "When I was born, our family didn't have much wealth, of course, it was already stronger than ordinary people.

The years that followed, probably my father's period of rapid growth, and then, you know, I was sent to the United States when I was in my early teens. Before in New York, then in Los Angeles.

In nearly a decade in the United States, I barely went back to China, didn't pay much attention to the development of my father's business, and didn't know anything about how much he owned or not.

Of course, I know that our family is rich, or rather, very rich, but I really don't know exactly to what extent.

Morris, in fact, you also understand that once a person's wealth exceeds one billion dollars, then the specific number is really just a number.

At least from the content of life itself, it is no longer visible.

And I've never been interested in these areas, so I really don't know much about it.

At school, I was a very unsociable person, unlike you, who didn't come to Los Angeles for a long time, and everyone in the streets and alleys was familiar with you as if you had grown up here.

I don't have that skills. ”

Morris shook his head slowly, looking angry, a super-rich second generation to the level of Cheng Yu is really enough, and he doesn't even know his father's net worth, which is really unheard of. Probably only a person like Cheng Yu, who was born in a one-child family, has such a big heart. Others, whether they are favored at home or not, must always be nervous about their father's business, after all, it will be their own industry from now on, and even if they can't take over it all, they need to get as much share as possible.

Immediately, Morris took out his mobile phone, contacted four people, and made an appointment for the evening, he made another call to the restaurant, booked a seat, and began to chat with Cheng Yu about some topics of ups and downs.

At six o'clock, Cheng Yu first ordered a takeaway for Vincent's mother and son, he was quite familiar with this aspect, after all, he had lived in this apartment for three years, and this kind of thing was simply a must-have for otaku.

The takeaway was delivered quickly, Cheng Yu paid the money, and left the apartment with Morris.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, the four classmates that Morris had called had already arrived, and the six of them entered a private room together.

After sitting down, the four of them also "accused", blaming his classmates for three years, but no one knew about the situation in his family, he, the super rich second generation, was simply too low-key.

Cheng Yu naturally explained with a smile again, and these people also showed the same surprised faces as Morris.

After drinking two glasses of wine, Morris helped Cheng Yu to express his needs.

The classmate who runs an insurance company at home immediately agreed.

"This is easy to do, isn't it just a trust fund, a child's tuition, plus some family expenses that may be generated, 50,000 US dollars a year can't be used. Cheng, you take out $300,000, and I will help you set up a trust fund to ensure that you have at least $50,000 in interest per year. But don't worry, I'll definitely leave this matter to my family's most competent investment manager, and I will never lose your money. ”

Cheng Yu smiled and didn't refuse, even though the classmate named Hawkins obviously gave Cheng Yu a promise of a fairly high return.

"As for the management fee, we're going to put it at the very least, two percent a year, six thousand dollars. Cheng, you know, it's impossible for me not to charge your management fee, after all, there are other shareholders in the company, and this is the biggest discount within my power. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Of course I understand, I am also making investments now, and the fees I charge are much higher than yours." Then I won't be polite to you, thank you. ”

Hawkins picked up his phone and said, "I'll go out and explain it, and I'll put you in touch as soon as possible." Your $300,000 can be called at any time, so there's no need to rush. ”

"I'm going to get back to my partner in New York and get him to connect with your company. ”

Hawkins walked out of the private room with his cell phone and went to call.

At the table, another classmate named Kloten said: "I can help with that child's study, my mother has a good friend in Los Angeles, and her husband is the director of a private high school." Since you said that the kid is extremely smart and only needs to study in high school for another year, then I will help you do this. ”

Cheng Yu nodded and thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you. ”

"Between classmates, don't be so polite, but after all, this is someone who was found around two layers of relationship, and I don't dare to make any promises in terms of school fees......

"The fees will go according to the normal fees, and there is no need to embarrass the school managers. I didn't think I'd save tens of thousands of dollars a year. ”

"Then I'll get in touch with my mother's friend, and if nothing else, I'll be able to settle this matter tonight. ”

With that, Klotten also went out to make a phone call.

The remaining two, one named Francis and the other named Anthony, saw that Hawkins and Kloten took over one thing, and it was still something they were not very good at taking care of, compared to finding a job for a middle-aged woman, it was not so difficult.

So, the two of them spoke almost at the same time: "Cheng, the work of the child's mother will be handed over to us." ”

Cheng Yu smiled and said, "You two don't do it so quickly, I haven't said what kind of job I'm going to find for her." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, neither of them wanted the other party to get this opportunity, and they both hoped that they could help Cheng Yu with this.

So, the two of them still rushed to speak: "You say, as long as you don't propose to let the child's mother be president, I can always do it......"

After speaking, the two of them looked at each other again, and said in their hearts, why do you even have the same lines as me.

In fact, these two people's thoughts are the same, what they think is that no matter how Cheng Yu asks, it can't be too much, even if he wants a manager or other middle-level management position, it's a big deal to let the family company raise an idler, and a salary of 10,000 US dollars a month is enough, 120,000 a year, which is not a big deal.

And in this way, Cheng Yu can owe them a lot of favors, after all, they have to come up with 120,000 US dollars every year, which is much more real money than Hawkins and Klotten, and if Cheng Yu makes any request for cooperation between the two families, it will be much easier to speak.

But Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "My requirements are not high, I need to help Vincent's mother find a job with higher career prospects and development possibilities."

Of course, you must be a white-collar worker, and it is best to start from the training post of middle management, and at least become a preparatory member of the middle management team when you enter the company.

But don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of asking you to help me raise a woman, if you want to raise it, I can afford it myself.

Vincent's mother hadn't worked in years, but she should be able to adapt to any job very quickly.

She used to study administrative management, and I think that even if she enters the world's top 500 companies, she should be able to quickly become qualified for a middle-level management position in the administrative department. ”

The requirements are actually not high, and they are basically in line with the bottom line of Anthony and Francis, but what Cheng Yu said is a bit exaggerated, as if they invited Vincent's mother to work in the company, but it was full of brilliance.

Morris heard some of Cheng Yu's words, and saw that the two of them looked at each other a little, so he helped them and asked, "Cheng, could it be that Vincent's mother used to be a manager in a Fortune 500 company?"

"I had experience in the industry, at Walmart's headquarters in Bentonville, but she was still young and hadn't had time to get into a management position, just as a reserve for middle managers. If she hadn't chosen to leave at that time, she would have been at least a middle manager, and might even become an executive. Of course, at that time, Wal-Mart was not as big as it is now, but it was already a giant enterprise. ”

Saying this, the three of them nodded together, if you have Walmart administrative management experience, even if it is just a middle manager in a training post, even if this resume is ten years apart, it can be regarded as a very good resume.

"Oh, I probably forgot to tell you that Vincent's mother is a bachelor's degree from Princeton University, graduated eighteen years ago, joined the Walmart team, and in less than two years, became a training prep manager at the administrative center. She told me that Walmart was actively expanding into the Asian market at that time, and the headquarters originally intended to transfer her to Asia to take charge of some affairs, but this became the biggest reason for her resignation. ”

The three of them were stunned again, they had actually thought that Vincent's mother might have graduated from a good university, after all, it was not easy to join Walmart and quickly become a visible figure in the eyes of the boss.

But first of all, Princeton University was a little surprised by their expectations, and the other is that the headquarters actually plans to send her to Asia to develop the market, which is tantamount to entrusting her with a heavy responsibility, such a person, after a few years, will inevitably become one of the leaders in a certain region. After more than ten years, when she returns to the headquarters, there is at least a position of headquarters executive waiting for her.

But this became the reason for Vincent's mother to resign.

Cheng Yu told them about the situation in Vincent's family, and they realized that Cheng Yu's praise for Vincent's intelligence was by no means a selfish compliment, but that the child's genes were already very strong.

Morris shook his head in disbelief and said, "Human encounters are really unpredictable, according to what you said, if it weren't for such a change, then there would inevitably be a new family rising strong in San Diego." I also have some impressions of the company you mentioned, but because I had already come to the United States when that company had an accident, I didn't know enough about it. ”

Anthony also said: "Cheng, I know your requirements, I believe you will not lie to me, and I also believe that Vincent's mother should have strong administrative skills." Well, let her go to my company's headquarters for a month's training, and according to what you said, she will definitely finish the training with a pretty good result after a month. When the time comes, I'll arrange for her to be assigned to the Los Angeles branch, how about that?"

Francis laughed when he heard it, and he said: "Anthony, don't mess around, Cheng said very clearly before, Vincent's mother is recovering from a serious illness and needs to recuperate, plus Vincent is still a child after all, you let him stay alone in Los Angeles, but you want to separate their mother and son, how bad is this?"

It just so happens that my family is going to set up a new company in Los Angeles next month, and I am in need of a good administrative expert to help me start the preparatory work next month.

I think, don't fight with me, for the rest of the month, let Vincent's mother take care of her health, and I just happened to give her some information about our family business, so that she can have a macro understanding of her future work.

Half a month later, the business of the branch officially began to prepare, her body was basically recuperated, and her understanding of the company was in place, so it was time to show her strength.

Cheng, what do you say?"

"How hard is it to prepare for a new company? How easy is it with a mature company? You also know that Vincent's mother is recovering from a serious illness, and she is not suitable to do such a large amount of work directly. The work is still going to be in the state step by step, and I think it's better to go to our company!"

"Don't listen to him, she is a manager, and the specific things are naturally done by the people below, and she doesn't need to do it herself, what is there to be tired of? ”

Of course, Cheng Yu understands that even if Vincent's mother used to be very good and indeed has enough ability, the reason why these two people help so much is only for the sake of their own face.

No matter what, these two people are very enthusiastic, and Cheng Yu doesn't want to refute their face.

So, Cheng Yu said: "No matter what, I want to thank you two, you have helped me a lot."

Well, everyone thinks differently about work and career planning, and Vincent's mother and I are not familiar enough to be able to substitute for each other.

I know what you both mean, and I'll go back and tell her which job to choose, it's up to her to choose.

Again, on behalf of their mother, thank you both.

I'm sure she'll give back no matter which of you you chooses to offer a job.

Of course, I am also very grateful for the help of the two of us, and we will keep in touch more in the future and have the opportunity to do something together. ”

After that, Cheng Yu picked up the wine glass and toasted the two of them.

His last sentence was a promise to these two people, but Cheng Yu promised very tactfully, and did not bring his father, but only expressed the possibility of communicating with the two in the name of himself.
