After arriving in Los Angeles, Morris, who learned the news, even came to pick up the plane. Cheng Yu settled Vincent and his son in his old apartment.
Morris took the initiative to ask about the situation of the mother and son, and Cheng Yu gave him a brief introduction.
Compared with students like Morris, although Cheng Yu may have lived in the United States longer, he doesn't like to leave campus very much, so he doesn't understand some things as much as Morris and the others.
After learning that Cheng Yu planned to let Vincent and his son settle in the United States, Cheng Yu also planned to help Vincent's mother arrange a job within his ability, while Vincent would stay in Los Angeles to study. Morris thought for a moment
, gave Cheng Yu a suggestion.
"Cheng, things like Vincent's enrollment and this aunt's job are actually very easy to solve. We have a place to live. If your place is empty, it will be empty, and you won't care about the little rent.
However, you can't always take care of them. After all, even if Vincent's mother finds a suitable job, the two of them are broke in Los Angeles and have a lot of money to spend in the early stage. You said you would be responsible for Vincent's tuition, etc.
Waiting for expenses, this is probably inevitable.
But you can’t remit money to them every month. One of our classmates seems to have an insurance company. I think it’s best to leave things like trust funds to them.
In this way, Vincent and his mother can receive sufficient fees at the time you set without you having to worry about them or worrying about them wasting your investment.
What do you think of this?"
Although Cheng Yu was not actually worried that Vincent and his son would waste their money because of their extravagant spending, it would be great if there was such a trust fund that could handle these matters on their behalf.
He nodded and said, "You think more carefully."
"In addition, regarding the enrollment and work of the mother and son, in fact, among the classmates we enrolled in together, many of them have branches or investments in Los Angeles. I think they will be more familiar with these than me.
If you don't mind, I will be the host tonight and invite them to have a meal together. When you tell Vincent and his son what happened, they will definitely help solve it. In this way, you will
It saves a lot of trouble.”
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, but it's up to me to handle the matter. There's no reason for you to put in effort and money."
Morris laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, you and I are both short of this little money.
Anyway, you have been quite low-key during these three years at USC. If you hadn't suddenly taken enough credits in advance and returned to China, we heard that you rejected Professor Rogers' proposal to let you be his doctoral student.
We really can't think of checking your background.
You don’t know how shocked we were when we heard that Rogers invited you to be his doctoral student, but you actually refused.
Then someone said, you must have a very strong background, otherwise, you would reject Professor Rogers' doctoral students, even Professor Rogers.
After an investigation, we found out that your father is Mr. Cheng Guangnian.
Although your father's actual wealth has always been a mystery, it is conservatively estimated that he is among the fifty richest people in the world.
You are so low-key."
In response, Cheng Yu smiled slightly and said, "If I told you, I don't know how much money my father has or how big his business is, would you believe it?"
Morris's face was full of scorn, but when he saw Cheng Yu's sincere face, he was surprised and said: "You really don't know, right?
Let me tell you, our school has a course this year that includes a case analysis of your father's past business career.
Even if other entrepreneurs are used as cases, they will only take one or two particularly exciting cases.
But your father is not. The case analysis of your father runs through his entire career, from his first business after entering the business world to the recent establishment of Qianjin Company."
Cheng Yu was speechless at this, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "When I was born, our family didn't have much wealth, but of course, it was already better than the average family.
The next few years were probably the period of rapid growth for my father, and as you know, I was sent to the United States when I was just in my early tenth year. First in New York, and then in Los Angeles.
In the nearly ten years I have been in the United States, I have rarely been back to China. I have not paid much attention to the development of my father's business, and I know nothing about how many shares he holds.
Of course I know that our family is rich, or rather rich, but to what extent, I really don’t know.
Morris, actually you also understand that once a person's wealth exceeds one billion US dollars, the specific number is really just a number.
At least from the content of life itself, it can no longer be seen.
And my interest has never been in these aspects, so I really don’t know much about it.
In school, I was originally a sociable person. Unlike you, not long after I arrived in Los Angeles, I became familiar with everyone in the streets and alleys, as if I had grown up here.
I don’t have that ability.”
Morris shook his head slowly, with an angry look on his face. It was really enough for a super rich second generation to reach Cheng Yu's level. He didn't even know his father's net worth. This was really unheard of. It was probably only
Only a person like Cheng Yu, who comes from an only-child family, must have such a big heart. Others, no matter 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.
Even if we can't take over all of it, we still need to get as many shares as possible.
Immediately, Morris took out his mobile phone, contacted four people, and made an appointment for the evening. He then made a call to the restaurant, booked a seat, and started chatting with Cheng Yu about romantic topics.
At around six o'clock, Cheng Yu first ordered takeout for Vincent and his son. He was quite familiar with this aspect. After all, he had lived in this apartment for three years. Takeout was a must for homesteaders.
The takeout was delivered quickly. Cheng Yu paid and left the apartment with Morris.
When they arrived at the restaurant, the four classmates called by Morris had also arrived, and the six of them entered a private room together.
After sitting down, the four people also "accused" him one after another, blaming him for being a classmate for three years, but no one knew about his family's situation. He, a super rich second generation, was simply too low-key.
Cheng Yu naturally explained it again with a smile, and these people also showed the same surprised faces as Morris.
After drinking two glasses of wine, Morris helped Cheng Yu express his needs.
The classmate whose family owns an insurance company immediately agreed.
"This is easy to handle. Isn't it just a trust fund? A child's tuition fee, plus some possible family expenses, can't be used for even fifty thousand US dollars a year. Cheng, you can use three hundred thousand US dollars for this matter.
I will help you set up a trust fund, guaranteeing an interest of at least 50,000 US dollars per year. The specific amount depends on the ability of the investment manager. But don't worry, I will definitely leave this matter to the most capable investment in my family.
Let the manager handle it and he will never lose your money."
Cheng Yu smiled and did not refuse, even though the classmate named Holkins obviously gave Cheng Yu a promise of quite high returns.
"As for the management fee, we will pay the lowest one, which is two percent a year, six thousand US dollars. Cheng, you know, it is impossible for me not to charge your management fee. After all, the company has other shareholders. This is my right."
The biggest discount in the range.”
Cheng Yu nodded and said: "Of course I understand. I am also an investor now, and the fees I charge are much higher than yours. Then I won't be polite to you, thank you."
Holkins picked up the phone and said: "I'm going to go out and explain it to you, so that you can implement this matter as soon as possible, so that you can rest assured. Your $300,000 can be called at any time, so there is no need to worry."
"I'll go back and contact my partner in New York and ask him to connect with your company."
Holkins walked out of the private room with his cell phone and made a call.
At the table, another classmate named Kroten added: "I can help with that child's education. My mother has a good friend in Los Angeles, and her husband is the director of a private high school.
Since Cheng you said that the child is extremely smart and only needs another year of high school, then I will help you handle this matter."
Cheng Yu nodded and thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you."
"You don't need to be so polite between classmates, but after all, this person was found through two layers of relationships. I don't dare to make any promises regarding the school's expenses..."
"The fees will be based on the normal fees. There is no need to embarrass the school director. I never thought about saving tens of thousands of dollars this year."
"Then I'll contact my mother's friend right now. If nothing else happens, the matter can be settled tonight."
After that, Kloten also went out to make a phone call.
The remaining two people, one named Francis and the other named Anthony, saw that Holkins and Cloten took over one thing, and they were not easy to take over. In comparison,
, finding a job for a middle-aged woman does not seem so difficult.
So, the two of them said almost at the same time: "Cheng, the job of the child's mother will be left to us."
Cheng Yu smiled and said, "You two, don't rush into everything so quickly. I haven't said what kind of job I want to find her yet."
The two of them looked at each other, neither wanting the other to get this opportunity, and both hoping that they could help Cheng Yu do this.
So, the two of them still rushed to speak: "Just tell me, as long as you don't propose that the child's mother be the president, I can always do it..."
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other again, wondering why you even have the same lines as me.
In fact, the two people had the same idea. What they thought was that no matter how much Cheng Yu asked, it would not be too excessive. Even if he wanted a manager or other middle-level management position, at the worst, the family company would have to raise an idle person.
, just make a salary of 10,000 US dollars a month, and 120,000 US dollars a year, which is not a big deal.
And in this way, Cheng Yu can owe them a big favor. After all, he has to spend 120,000 US dollars every year, which is much more than the real money like Holkins and Kloten. If
It would be much easier to ask Cheng Yu for any request for cooperation between the two families.
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, preferably starting from a middle-level management training position. Once you enter the company, you must at least become a preliminary member of the middle-level management team.
But don’t get me wrong, I have no intention of asking you to help me raise a woman. If I want to raise a woman, I can afford it myself.
Although Vincent's mother has not worked for several years, she should be able to adapt to any job very quickly.
She studied administrative management before, and I think that even if she enters a Fortune 500 company, she should be able to quickly take up a middle-level management position in an administrative department."
In fact, the request was not too high, and it was basically in line with Anthony and Frances' bottom line. However, Cheng Yu's words were a bit exaggerated, making it seem like they had invited Vincent's mother to work in the company, which was actually a blessing.
Morris heard some of Cheng Yu's words, and seeing the two people looking at each other a little bit, he helped them ask: "Cheng, did Vincent's mother once work as a manager in a Fortune 500 company?"
"She had some experience in the industry, at Wal-Mart's headquarters in Bentonville, but she was still young at the time and had not yet had time to move into a management position. She was just a reserve for middle managers. If she had not chosen to leave at that time, she would have been at least a middle-level manager.
Managers, maybe even senior executives. Of course, at that time, Wal-Mart was not as big as it is now, but it was already a giant company."
After saying this, the three of them nodded together. If you have administrative management experience in Wal-Mart, even if you are just a middle-level manager in a training position, this resume can be considered a pretty outstanding resume even if it is ten years apart.
"Oh, I probably forgot to tell you that Vincent's mother got a bachelor's degree from Princeton University. She graduated eighteen years ago and joined the Wal-Mart team. In just two years, she became a training post at the Administrative Management Center.
Preparatory manager. She told me herself that at that time Wal-Mart was actively expanding into the Asian market, and the headquarters originally intended to transfer her to Asia to take charge of certain affairs, but this became the biggest reason why she wanted to resign."
The three of them were stunned again. They had actually thought that Vincent's mother might have graduated from a good university. After all, she could join Wal-Mart and quickly become a visible figure in the eyes of the boss. This was quite unusual.
Simple.
But first of all, Princeton University slightly exceeded their expectations. In addition, the headquarters actually planned to send her to Asia to develop markets. This was tantamount to entrusting her with an important task. Such a person will inevitably become a leader in a certain region after a few years there.
1. After more than ten years, when she returns to the headquarters, she will at least have a position as a senior executive at the headquarters waiting for her.
But this became the reason for Vincent's mother to resign.
Cheng Yu told them about Vincent's family situation, and they realized that co-author Cheng Yu's praise of 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: "People's fate is really unpredictable. According to what you said, if it weren't for such changes, there would definitely be a new generation in San Diego.
The family has risen strongly. I also have some impressions of the company you mentioned, but because I had already come to the United States when something happened to that company, I don’t know enough about it.”
Anthony also said: "Cheng, I understand your request. I believe you will not lie to me. I also believe that Vincent's mother should have strong administrative capabilities. Let's let her go to my company first."
She will undergo a month-long training at the headquarters of the company. According to what you said, she will definitely be able to complete the training with quite outstanding results after one month. At that time, I will arrange for her to be assigned to a position in the Los Angeles branch. How about it?
"
Francis laughed when he heard this, and said: "Anthony, please stop helping. Cheng made it very clear before that Vincent's mother has just recovered from a serious illness and still needs to recuperate, and Vincent is still a child after all.
, you let him stay alone in Los Angeles, but you have to separate the mother and son in two places, how bad is this?
It just so happens that my family is going to set up a company in Los Angeles next month, and we will start the preparatory work next month. We really need the help of a good administrative management expert.
I think you should stop arguing with me. Let Vincent's mother take good care of her health for the rest of this month. I also happened to give her some information about our family business to give her an idea of her future work.
Macroscopic understanding.
Half a month later, preparations for the branch's business officially began. Her body was basically in good health and her understanding of the company was in place. It was time to flex her muscles.
Cheng, what do you think?"
"How hard is it to prepare for a new company? How can it be so easy for a mature company? You also know that Vincent's mother has just recovered from a serious illness. She is definitely not suitable to directly carry out such a large amount of work. Work matters, or
If you want to get into the groove step by step, I think it’s better to go to our company!”
"Don't listen to him. She is a manager. The specific things will be done by the people below, and she doesn't need to do it herself. What's the point? The new company can flex its muscles and achieve outstanding results."
Of course Cheng Yu understood that even though Vincent's mother was once outstanding and indeed had sufficient abilities, the reason why the two of them were so helpful was just for their own sake.
No matter what, these two people were very enthusiastic, and Cheng Yu didn't want to refute their reputation.
So, Cheng Yu said: "No matter what, I want to thank you both very much. You have helped me a lot.
Well, everyone has different ideas about work and career planning, and Vincent's mother and I are not familiar enough to take over each other's work.
I know what you both mean. I will go back and tell her that it is up to her to decide which job to choose.
Again, on behalf of their mother, I would like to thank you both.
I believe that no matter which job she chooses from you, she will make corresponding returns.
Of course, I am also very grateful for your help. We will contact you more in the future and we can do something together if we have the opportunity."
After saying that, Cheng Yu picked up the wine glass and toasted the two of them.
His last words were a promise to these two people. However, Cheng Yu made the promise very tactfully. He did not bring his father with him, but only expressed the possibility of mutual exchange with the two in his own name.
