Chapter 966: Lin Dong
Keep in mind our website and wish you all a happy reading! Don't forget to spread the word.
Played golf with Jack Welch and others all afternoon, and did not dine together in the evening. Simon had other arrangements.
Returning to the manor in the northern suburbs from near the golf course, it was after 6 o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Qing and Lin Su were already waiting here, as well as Lin Su's younger brother Lin Dong and Lin Dong's girlfriend Bai Lan.
I had already known Lin Su's younger brother in advance, but this was the first time we met.
Lin Dong obviously inherited the good genes of his parents like his sister. He looks handsome, close to 1.8 meters tall, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and a little more polite. Lin Dong's girlfriend Bai Lan is also tall and has a very attractive oval face.
Simply put, they are a pair of beautiful people.
Lin Su was both anticipating and apprehensive about Simon calling her to bring her brother over for dinner, expecting his brother to be recognized by men, and apprehensive about what if a certain guy behaved too harshly, not to mention the relationship between the two. Relationships are really hard to describe.
At this time, standing next to him, watching Simon and his younger brother chatting skillfully, someone was not arrogant, and his younger brother also behaved calmly, and finally felt relieved.
Of course there is still a little bit of dissatisfaction.
A certain guy's Chinese is so good, why did he deliberately speak to his brother in English? When he was with her and Chen Qing on weekdays, he always used Chinese.
Immediately, he thought of a reason.
Maybe I want to test my brother's English ability. Speaking of which, speaking is indeed a shortcoming of my brother. Fortunately, there is no problem with daily conversations. However, Bai Lan, who has already started talking about marriage with his brother, is obviously a little bit better. not on.
Can't handle that much.
After a simple greeting, everyone came to a living room in the villa and sat down. Simon did not forget to ask about the preparations for dinner, and then he looked at Lin Dong again and asked with a smile, "It's been a week since I came to the United States. how do you feel?"
Lin Dong thought for a moment and said, "It's very prosperous and surprising."
In fact, the real feeling is far more than one or two words can describe.
When he was still in China, the Lin family was actually an upper-class official class. For ordinary people, Lin Dong was born with a golden spoon. However, these days after arriving in the United States, or since taking the Gulfstream V private jet, Lin Dong felt that he had suddenly been exposed to another world.
A capitalist society that is exactly what many people imagine.
Although he came from a good background, Lin Dong is not actually a nerd who stays in an ivory tower and does not ask about the world. He knows very well that all this is not the real gap between China and the United States, and it is not just the territory that jumps out of the ocean. You can enjoy the prosperity of the world.
The root cause was the young man sitting next to him at this moment.
Simon Westeros.
The world's first trillion-dollar super-rich, and the only trillion-dollar rich, this young man's net worth even exceeds the current GDP level of China with a population of 1.2 billion.
And his sister is his lover.
If it were any other circumstance, if his sister became someone else's lover, it would definitely make the Lin family lose face. However, when this person is Simon Westeros, many people feel that it is normal. Now in China, many people around the Lin family know this. However, except for a few inevitable sour words, most people Their attitudes are all amazement and envy, as well as all kinds of clinging and compliments.
Even Lin's father and mother, apart from being a little worried about Lin Su's future, did not show much resistance to the matter itself.
It is precisely because of his sister's identity that Lin Dong has access to the scenery at the top of the pyramid.
MIT's OFFER seems to be just a word from someone.
Taking a private jet, a fantasy for most Chinese, also seems to be very commonplace.
Arriving in the United States, you can directly live in Manhattan's top high-rise duplex apartments.
In the rumored Wall Street, his sister took him to a party and met many executives of financial giants who could influence the world economic pattern.
so many kinds.
It's all like a dream.
Because of the frequent audience, Lin Dong is actually very aware of the living conditions of most ordinary Chinese students studying abroad.
America is full of gold?
Totally imagined.
If it weren't for his sister, even if he came from an official family, if he couldn't get a scholarship, after arriving in the United States, even if he couldn't go to the restaurant to wash dishes, he would have to try to find some part-time jobs. After all, his family is just an ordinary little bureaucrat, and his parents are the kind who obey the rules in the official circle. In fact, there is not much money to make, so it is impossible to support him in the United States.
Given the current state of China's development, coupled with the exchange rate difference between the US dollar and the RMB, the proportion of children of international students who can really come to the United States to enjoy life is pitifully small.
For most people to study abroad, brushing the dishes is inevitable.
Lin Dong also did not expect that he would be able to avoid this inevitability. Moreover, these days, he was brought to the top of the pyramid by his sister to see the scenery at the top of the pyramid, and even had a very shocking impact on the proud mentality he had formed since he was a child. , and even had the idea of going into the sea to fight without wanting to read anymore.
What's the use of getting a Ph.D. or even going a little further academically if you can't live that kind of life in the future?
Simon listens to Lin Dong's reply
A, looking at his appearance with his hands resting on his knees despite being relaxed on the surface, he smiled slightly and said, "It's summer vacation now, I don't know what the course schedule for doctoral students at MIT is like, if you don't need it If you report as soon as possible, this time will allow your sister to show you around the United States."
Subconsciously, Lin Dong certainly wanted to do this. However, after a little hesitation, he still said: "Simon, if I can, I hope I can find a job during this time."
Simon looked at the young man who was only a few years younger than himself on the sofa next to him. He didn't answer the question immediately, but said, "So, are you sure you'll be in business after graduating from MIT?"
If possible, Lin Dong would like to go to sea and start business right now. It's just that he is also a very smart person. He doesn't understand the attitude of his sister, a man, to him, so don't take a stand. My sister also said this time that Simon Westeros is a person who values personal ability very much. In this case, no matter what the future holds, it is still necessary for him to get a Ph.D. at MIT.
As long as you have enough ability and have the channel of your own sister, you will have many opportunities in the future if you want to succeed.
Thinking so, Lin Dong nodded seriously: "Yes."
"Since this is the case, you should let your sister accompany you to look around during this time, don't worry," Simon suddenly smiled a little badly and said, "When you really start school, there may be no time to rest."
Lin Su, who had been quietly listening just now, noticed the smile on Simon's mouth, and suddenly remembered that a certain guy said he would arrange her brother's future for her. I don't want Lin Dong to be tossed by a certain guy. When he grows up so big, his younger brother has never suffered much.
After a little hesitation, he asked, "Simon, what are you planning to do with Xiaodong?"
Lin Su was speaking in Chinese. Seeing his sister interjected, Lin Dong, Bai Lan, and Chen Qing on the other side all looked over. Lin Dong was also a little embarrassed by the name of his sister's certain "Xiao Dong", but he couldn't say anything.
Simon also looked at Lin Su, also changed the standard Mandarin, and said: "I remember telling you that it is best to let Lin take some MBA courses while studying for a doctorate in the future. I will arrange this matter, just Harvard. In addition, since Lin is now determined to pursue a business career, while studying, it is best to start some exercise immediately. In Boston, I will arrange a job for him at Boston Consulting Company. Consulting companies are in your opinion. It may be a bit of a retreat, but it’s the easiest way to develop a business vision.”
Boston Consulting Group is a corporate strategy consulting firm on par with McKinsey & Company.
Of course Lin Su knew this.
And I also understand that Simon's arrangements will definitely be of great benefit to his younger brother's future.
It's just that Lin Su doesn't believe that a certain guy will release water because Lin Dong is his younger brother, and even more strict. As a part-time MBA student while studying for a Ph.D., and another job at Boston Consulting Group, Lin Dong will really not have any spare time in the next few years.
"I'm thinking, Simon, can't you let Xiaodong study at ease?"
Simon didn't answer, but looked at Lin Dong: "How old are you this year?"
Lin Dong said honestly: "24 years old."
Simon shrugged and looked at Lin Su again: "If I remember correctly, in China, many people are married and have children at the age of 24, and the children may have entered kindergarten. Although Lin is still young, if he wants to leave in the future It has to go further and must start immediately. You must know that many people have passed the age of 30, and basically they will not achieve anything. In this way, your brother has only 6 years left, Lin, do you think it is a lot?"
Lin Su opened his mouth and was about to refute when Lin Dong said, "Sister, I think that's okay too."
Simon smiled and said directly: "That's it."
Lin Su reluctantly glared at her brother, then glanced at someone again, and had to agree, in any case, it seemed that even if she objected, it seemed useless.
A guy is a tyrant a lot of the time.
In the living room, Bai Lan, who was sitting neatly next to Lin Dong, saw that the big man didn't look at her much from the beginning to the end, and didn't mention any arrangements for her. Listening to everyone's conversations, I grasped a few points. For example, Simon Westeros directly used the name 'Lin'. This is true for Lin Su and Lin Dong. I secretly wrote down that this is probably what Americans call others way, and, remember, Chen Qing often called Lin Su this way in private.
At first I felt awkward, I got used to it, but I felt, um, very stylish.
After the matter was finalized, the topic turned to all kinds of trivial matters. When the time came to 7 o'clock, the waitress came to remind everyone to enter the restaurant together.
After dinner, Chen Qing stayed, and Lin Su insisted on sending Lin Dong back to the city together. In fact, she didn't want to be seen by her younger brother to stay with Chen Qing to accompany someone. Simon knew what a woman was thinking, and of course he didn't. Will not force.
After seeing Lin Su away, Simon turned around and returned to the villa. Chen Qing also naturally took the man's arm and hung it on him, talking about the Internet technology training class plan that he was planning recently. Chen Qing is also a vigorous and resolute person. She had an idea when she was in China a few days ago, and completed the business plan in just three days. Recently, she has started recruiting troops.
When the two returned to the living room in the villa and sat down again, Chen Qing shrank directly in Simon's arms, and asked the man's neck, "So, boss, what do you think?"
Simon shook his head and said, "Not much."
Chen Qing pouted slightly: "About the excellent project, you also said
Not so good, and now, um, judging by the sales over that time period, I'm still pretty successful. "
Simon hugged the woman's slender waist and asked with a smile, "Are you short of money now?"
"No shortage."
"Then keep your eyes open," Simon said. "Actually, I'm not saying that this project is not good, but you shouldn't spend too much time on these projects yourself, but you need to put your own level on it. Higher. The lower ones work hard, the middle ones work hard, and the top ones work hard. You should know this better than me."
Chen Qing frowned: "Yes, I just didn't expect that the boss's understanding of Chinese culture always surprises me."
"Okay, stop flattering."
Chen Qing obediently restrained her smile and said, "Actually, I am also working on people. The boss must know that I have established my own small team. These are all my people. However, just like the boss had to come forward in person. Like filmmaking, I now need to personally come forward to plan and handle some projects, which is not contradictory.”
Simon shrugged: "Well, do your best, and I'll see where we can go in the future."
Chen Qing twisted her body in Simon's arms again, and said: "Actually, I also know that Internet technical training is not very good, after all, it is not like English, or various more practical vocational training, so I hope this training in the future. It can develop in a higher-end direction, boss, since informatization is an inevitable trend in the future global society, referring to the United States, although China is temporarily behind, the scale of the Internet industry will definitely be very large in the future, right?"
Simon nodded, understanding Chen Qing's intention, but did not interrupt, signaling the girl to continue.
Chen Qing continued: "Although the scale of China's Internet industry will also be very large, at this stage, many people simply don't know what to do. After all, most people have never been to the United States, not to mention Silicon Valley. Therefore, I hope Build a platform, a platform to guide Chinese talents who are interested in the Internet industry to start their own businesses. By building this platform, we can also fund some people to start businesses in the form of venture capital, which will allow us to be in China's Internet industry. Getting ahead is a good plan, isn't it?"
