Chapter 49 The Rockefeller Family
More than ten minutes later, Li Zetian and the other two finished their dinner.
"Waiter, pay!" Li Zetian waved to the waiter not far away and said.
"Sir, total $127."
Just as Li Zetian was about to pay, a voice said, "I have invited this meal!!!"
Li Zetian looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit smile at him. At this time, the middle-aged man handed him $150 to the waiter and said, "The extra money is considered a tip for you!"
"Thank you sir!"
After the waiter left, the middle-aged man walked towards Li Zetian.
"First of all, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Thomas Rockefeller. John D. Rockefeller is my great-grandfather!!! I just heard you talk about my great-grandfather, so I came here to say hello to you!"
Li Zetian was shocked when he heard this. Damn, he accidentally met someone from the Rockefeller family!
"Hello, Mr. Thomas Rockefeller, I'm honored to know you. My name is Chronos Lee. This is my girlfriend Susan Yu, and this is Bill Gates!" Li Zetian introduced.
Thomas Rockefeller glanced at Bill Gates and smiled, "Bill Gates, your mother is Mary Gates, right?"
Bill Gates nodded: "Yes!"
Thomas Rockefeller smiled and said, "Haha, I know your mother and your grandfather, and I have also seen your photos!"
The upper class has a social circle in the upper class!
Bill Gates has a prominent family background. His father and grandfather are lawyers, his grandfather is a big banker, his mother is a director of HSD University, the first female president of the King County United Way, and the first female director of the First Intercontinental Banking Company. It is not surprising that they know the Rockefeller family.
However, Li Zetian did not expect that he would meet people from the top American consortium family so soon.
At this time, Thomas Rockefeller turned to look at Li Zetian and smiled: "Actually, a person's words and deeds can tell whether he can succeed! Chronos Lee, you are a good young man. As long as you work hard and persist, you will definitely succeed!!!"
"Thank you Mr. Thomas Rockefeller for your praise and encouragement, I will cheer up!" Li Zetian said humbly. Nowadays, Li Zetian is weak, and it is appropriate to show a humble attitude in front of a strong man. In addition, even if he becomes very rich in the future, it is always right to maintain a humble attitude.
Among all the top consortium families in the United States, Li Zetian has the most favorable impression of the Rockefeller family. The founder of the family John D. Rockefeller is a business legend that started from scratch. The reason why he became the richest man in the world is because of his outstanding courage and ability. He has never used despicable means behind his back, such as assassination and arson. Although many competitors defeated by him failed, they lost their hearts. People described Rockefeller's wealth as the least dirty compared to the wealthy people of his contemporary era! In addition, this family has always been keen on charity and has been the family in the world that has made the greatest contribution to charity!!!
"Okay, goodbye!" Thomas Rockefeller said goodbye.
"Goodbye, Mr. Rockefeller!" everyone said in unison.
Li Zetian looked at the figure of Thomas Rockefeller leaving and said secretly, "I believe that it won't take long to meet again. By then, you will definitely be shocked..."
"Okay, let's go back to school!"
Li Zetian said, helping Yu Jingqiu pick up his bag.
"Yeah!" Yu Jingqiu and Bill Gates responded, followed Li Zetian, and within a while, the three of them left the restaurant.
At night, Li Zetian was still sleeping in his dormitory. Although he dropped out of school, no students moved here yet.
Bored, Li Zetian talked about work with Bill Gates and guided him on how he would do his job in Microsoft's future.
We talked until late at night.
The next day, when Yu Jingqiu came to their dormitory, the two were still sleeping.
"Have you stayed up late again at night?" Yu Jingqiu said dissatisfied, "I remember staying up late less in the future is not good for my health!!!"
"Okay, I understand! Well... Where did you buy the delicious buns? Boston Chinatown is far away from here..." Li Zetian asked while turning on the breakfast Yu Jingqiu brought.
Yu Jingqiu smiled slightly and said, "I am learning how to make Chinese buns. You can try it quickly and taste it!"
"You made it? Then I have to try it!"
Li Zetian picked up a bun and took a big bite. Bazhabazha was ate with relish.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yu Jingqiu asked.
"Well... the taste is soft, fresh and not greasy, and the appearance is like a chrysanthemum. It can be said that the color, fragrance, smell and shape are unique! Not bad! I didn't expect that my girlfriend is still a bun Xishi!!!" Li Zetian was not stingy with his praise.
Yu Jingqiu was delighted, "If you like to eat, eat more!"
"I can eat 10 such delicious buns in a row. Do you believe it or not?" Li Zetian quipped.
"It's weird if you believe in you, four of you will be able to kill you!" Yu Jingqiu gave him a blank look.
"Bill, come and have delicious food, Chinese buns, Susan's new skills!!!"
When Bill Gates heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly jumped out of the bed.
Li Zetian shook his head. It seems that Bill Gates is also a foodie.
After breakfast, Yu Jingqiu quietly pulled Li Zetian aside and whispered: "Zetian, my dad wants to see you!"
Li Zetian was stunned. Isn’t this the legendary “meeting parents”?
"Okay, no problem!" Li Zetian nodded.
"Then this Christmas, you can accompany me to New York!"
"Okay, no problem! By the way, if you have any hobbies, interests, and dislikes, you'd better tell me in advance, I'm so prepared! If your uncle doesn't like me, that would be bad..."
The first time Yu Jingqiu saw Li Zetian so nervous, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll list a table for you!"
When Li Zetian saw Yu Jingqiu "mocking" him, he couldn't help but think hatefully, "After going to your house, I will take you to my house to see if you are nervous? It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so you will be proud of it for a while!"
...
At noon that day, Bill Gates called Paul Allen to Harvard University and told him on the phone that he had joined Microsoft and now invited him to join.
"Paul, I want to talk to you alone!" Li Zetian said.
"Okay!" Paul Allen nodded.
After the others left, Li Zetian organized a speech and said: "Microsoft's controlling party is Umbrella. Bill Gates joined Microsoft and gave him 12.5% of the shares. They not only liked Bill Gates' ability, but also had his family background, including law, banking, connections and other resources! Paul, what conditions do you need to propose to join Microsoft? I can try to fight with Umbrella!" Li Zetian planned to tell him directly to give him 3% of the shares, but later he thought that this was inappropriate and could easily cause him to feel unbalanced. It would be better to ask him to propose conditions by himself.
Paul Allen thought about it. He was incomparable to Bill Gates, and his relationship with Chronos was not as familiar as them, so he naturally could not get the same treatment as Bill Gates.
"Does the company have an option reward system?" Paul asked.
"Yes! Employees who make great contributions to the company can receive option rewards ranging from 1% to 10% based on their personal performance!"
Li Zetian started to draw cakes, "If you join Microsoft, I can let you serve as Chief Technology Officer. In this way, the greater the contribution you can make, the more option rewards you will get!!!"
Paul Allen was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, then I'll join Microsoft!"
Chapter completed!
