Chapter 1307: Gift

Walking in the garden with Old John, Li Zitao did a good job of being a serious listener.

Listening to him talking about his worries and prospects for the future, and the meaning of "For my sake, please take care of Rockefeller" is revealed inside and outside the words.

"Uncle John, I have a gift for you." Li Zitao said as he took out a rolled-up document from the inner pocket of his suit, unfolded it and placed it in front of his eyes.

Equity Transfer Letter. Hey, a paragraph is missing! If you like it, please collect it: () The update speed is the fastest.

‘A simple gift should be some humble small company. ’ At this thought, he felt relieved again.

Li Zitao's generosity to his friends is one of the images he has established to the outside world. If Old John can live to the next century, he will simply use "personal design" to sum it up.

After opening the file and seeing the contents inside, to be honest, Old John's heart skipped a beat and he almost died on the spot.

2% of the shares of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will be transferred unconditionally at the price estimated by the outside world.

There is no name in the blank column, which means that this shareholding can be transferred to anyone in the Rockefeller family, it depends entirely on the old John.

"Charlie..." Old John was shocked. He really didn't expect that this gift would be so precious. Today, I can't watch it and I'm missing a paragraph! Remember for a second, ().

The era belonging to Old John has passed, and the in-depth cooperation between Rockefeller and Lee has involved too much, and maintaining a good cooperative relationship and friendship is beneficial to both parties.

However, the relationship between him and David was not very harmonious. After his death, Lawrence, who was separated from the family, did not have much right to speak.

Therefore, Li Zitao wants to use shares to express goodwill, improve the relationship between the two parties, and build a new communication bridge between decision makers.

"Thank you for your trust. I believe that the final result will not disappoint you." Rockefeller closed the document and looked at Elan Sticknard who was a few feet away.

Elan immediately stepped forward, took the contract and walked towards the house. He wanted to lock the contract in Old John's safe.

In the Rockefeller family, apart from old John himself, it was known that his butler Elan had the key to the safe, which made his children quite jealous.

"I believe you will make the best choice, and the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will not have any opinion on this." Li Zitao said this against his will.

He is actually very concerned about how Old John handles this equity.

It is the worst case if it is assigned to someone's name alone. Dividing it up and giving it to different children is the second worst situation.

If there are any conflicts within Rockefeller, it is likely to affect the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

The best option is to hand over the shares to a professional team, such as... the Rockefeller Family Foundation or the Rockefeller Student Grant Fund.

This can not only ensure the safety of the shares, but also avoid troubles. The foundation only cares about profits, and the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will never disappoint in this regard.

"Does Mary know about this?" After confirming that Elan had entered the room, Old John could not believe that it really belonged to him, and he put a smile on his face again.

"This is a decision we made together." Li Zitao would naturally discuss such a big matter with Mary.

There are many reasons to convince her. Apart from the previous ones, there are also Li Zitao's preparations and plans for the future.

The shareholding restructuring requires detailed planning and preparation, and this time it can be regarded as a pilot project. In the future, the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce will attract more talents with favorable conditions, assist it to become a century-old enterprise, and create more brilliance.

Three days later, Old John let go and went back.

Although this incident was expected and everyone was prepared in their hearts, it didn't mean they could accept it calmly.

At the funeral, Lawrence forced a smile, but the tears in the corners of his eyes could not be stopped.

"I thought I was an adult, a husband, a father, the breadwinner of a family...but, before him, I was always a child."

Lawrence was smiling with tears in his eyes, which impressed the guests present.

Old John's funeral was not simple at all. The cars of the people who came to see him off occupied two streets, and the cemetery was as lively as a public grave-sweeping day.

The weather on this day was excellent, there was no rain, the sun was hiding behind the dark clouds, and the cool summer breeze blew by, which refreshed the spirit.

After the burial ceremony, Li Zitao took his family and left first. Next, the brothers and sisters of Lawrence and the Rockefeller family had too many problems to discuss and resolve.

Their presence here will only cause trouble, and the grief of losing a father will only heal with time.

"The ensuing interview and account of his life will make the headlines for months, and memorial events organized by Rockefeller's foundations..."

"You go instead of me." It's reasonable to entrust this kind of thing to Molly. She has always been Li Zitao's representative to the outside world, and she can be called an "incarnation".

"We have an appointment in Washington. At 9:40 tomorrow morning, the Office of the Secretary of State will set aside 30 minutes to have lunch with Secretary of State Marshall at noon.

At 2:10 p.m., Chief of Staff Eisenhower will receive you in his office... The other party said on the phone that there is always plenty of time for you. "

Li Zitao nodded with a smile. The relationship between him and Eisenhower is closer than others, not only in cooperation, but also in mutual sympathy and understanding.

From the hot potato he took over the veterans many times, to arranging jobs for his wife, sister-in-law, cousin, and other odds and ends.

They all sound like ordinary little problems, compared to the generous gifts Li Zitao gave to other people, they are really not worth mentioning.

But it is precisely these small things that can better reflect that the relationship between the two is not a pure interest relationship. Because in that case, these little things would not bother him at all.

"Has he done anything recently?" Li Zitao wanted to know about Eisenhower's recent actions.

Who did you meet, what might you talk about, and your plans for retirement.

Although he wants to step down from the position of chief of staff, he does not intend to let go of NATO affairs. This right can bring him not only influence, but also political capital.

It's just that no one will see this at present, because no one would have thought that a soldier who became the chief of staff of the army would think of running for president.

Even Li Zitao, who knows this fact, finds it rather funny when he thinks about it. How did he think of making such a big change after retiring.
