Chapter 966 (1/2)
I played golf with Jack Welch and others all afternoon, but we didn't have dinner together in the evening. Simon had other arrangements.
From the golf course back to the nearby Greenwich north suburb manor, the time is more than 6 pm, Chen Qing and Lin Su two girls have been waiting here, in addition to Lin Su's brother Lin Dong and Lin Dong's girlfriend Prynne.
Simon had known Lin Su's brother in advance, and it was the first time that he met him.
Like his sister, Lin Dong inherits his parents' good genes. He is handsome, nearly 1.8 meters tall, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and a bit more polite. Lin Dong's girlfriend Prynne is also tall and has a very good-looking oval face. Two people stand together, can be described as a pair of Bi Ren.
Lin Su is not only looking forward to Simon's calling her to bring her brother over for dinner, but also worried that his brother will get Simon's approval. What's more, the relationship between them is really hard to say.
At this time, standing next to him, looking at Simon and his brother's skillful communication, someone is not proud, and his brother is also self-confident, and finally let go.
Of course, there is a little dissatisfaction.
Some guy's Chinese is so excellent. Why do you want to talk to your brother in English on purpose? He always uses Chinese when he is with them on weekdays.
Then I thought of the reason for him.
Maybe I want to test my brother's English ability. Speaking up, oral English is really a weakness of Lin Dong. After all, he lacks practical application environment. Fortunately, he is a top student in Peking University. Lin Dong has no problem in daily conversation, but he has already started to talk about marriage with his brother. Obviously, he can't keep up.
It doesn't matter that much.
After a simple greeting, everyone came to a living room in the villa and sat down. Simon did not forget to call in the housekeeper angri to inquire about the preparation of dinner. Then he looked at Lin Dong again and said gently, ”I've been in the United States for a week. How do you feel about this side?”
Lin Dong thought a little and said, ”it's very prosperous. It's amazing.”
In fact, the real feeling is far more than that.
When he was still in China, the Lin family was in fact an upper class official class. For ordinary people, Lin Dong was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He grew up with a good fortune and was the standard son of heaven. However, these days after arriving in the United States, or ever since taking that Gulfstream V private plane, Lin Dong felt that he had suddenly come into contact with another world.
A capitalist society that fits a lot of people's imagination.
Although he came from a good family background, Lin Dong is not a bookworm who stays in the ivory tower and does not care about the world. He knows very well that all this is not the real gap between China and the United States, nor is it the flourishing age and prosperity that can be enjoyed just by jumping out of the territory on the other side of the ocean.
The root cause is still the young man sitting next to him at this moment.
Simon westero.
The world's first trillion dollar super rich and the only one with a trillion dollar fortune, this young man's wealth even exceeds the current GDP level of China, which has a population of 1.2 billion.
And his sister is his lover.
If it is other circumstances, his sister become someone else's lover, will let the Lin family lose face. However, when this person is Simon westero, many people think it's normal. Now in China, many people around the Lin family know this. Except for a few inevitable sour words, most people's attitude is amazing and envious, and all kinds of attachment and compliment.
Even Lin Fu and Lin Mu, apart from worrying about Lin Su's future, did not show much resistance to the matter itself.
Because of his sister's identity, Lin Dong was able to get in touch with the scenery at the top of the pyramid.
It seems that MIT's offer is just someone's word.
It seems very common for most Chinese people or most ordinary people in the world to take a private plane, which is just a fantasy.
Arrived in the United States, directly to live in Manhattan's top high-rise duplex apartments.
It is said that on Wall Street, his sister took him to a party and met many executives of financial giants who could influence the world economic pattern.
And so on.
It's like a dream.
Because of constant concern, Lin Dong is actually very clear about the living conditions of most Chinese students abroad.
Gold everywhere?
It's all imagination.
If it wasn't for his sister, even if he came from an official family and didn't get a full scholarship, he would have to try to find some part-time jobs even if he didn't go to the restaurant to wash dishes after arriving in the United States. After all, his family is just ordinary bureaucrats, and his parents are also very disciplined in officialdom. Or because of his position, there is not much money to earn. It is impossible to support him to spend his time in the United States.
At this stage of China's development, coupled with the exchange rate difference between the US dollar and RMB, the proportion of students who can really come to the United States to enjoy life is very small.Most people study abroad, in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is necessary to wash dishes.
Lin Dong did not expect that he could avoid this inevitability. Moreover, these days, he was brought to the top of all kinds of pyramids by his sister, which had a great impact on his pride from childhood to adulthood. He even had the idea that he did not want to continue to study, but directly went to the sea to struggle.
If you can't live this kind of life in the future, what's the use of getting a doctorate or going further academically?
Simon listened to Lin Dong's reply, looked at him, although he was relaxed on the surface, but his hands were still on his knees, and said with a smile, ”it's summer vacation now. I don't know what the doctoral program at MIT is like. If you don't need to report as soon as possible, your sister can show you around the United States during this period of time.”
Subconsciously, of course, Lin Dong wanted to. However, after a little hesitation, he said, ”Simon, if I can, I hope to find a job during this period.”
Simon looked at the young man on the sofa next to him who was only a few years younger than himself. Instead of answering the question immediately, he said, ”so, are you sure you want to go into business after graduation?”
