Giant of the times

Chapter 49 The Rockefellers

Ten minutes later, Li Zetian and the three of them finished their dinner.

"Waiter, pay the bill!" Li Zetian waved to the waiter not far away and said.

"Sir, the total is $127."

Just when Li Zetian was about to pay, a voice said: "I'm paying for this meal!!!"

Li Zetian looked up and saw a middle-aged man in a suit smiling at him. At this time, the middle-aged man handed the waiter $150 and said, "The extra money is 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, and John D. Rockefeller is my great-grandfather!!! I just heard you talking about my great-grandfather, so I came here to say hello!"

Li Zetian was shocked when he heard this. Damn it, he accidentally met someone from the Rockefeller family!

"Hello, Mr. Thomas Rockefeller, it's an honor to meet 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 seen your photo together!"

The upper classes have upper class social circles!

Bill Gates has a distinguished family background. His father and grandfather are barristers, his grandfather is a big banker, his mother is a director of HSD University, the first female president of the United Way of King County, and the first female executive of First Intercontinental Bank. It was no surprise that they knew someone from the Rockefeller family.

However, Li Zetian did not expect that he would meet members of the top American conglomerate families so soon.

At this time, Thomas Rockefeller turned to look at Li Zetian and said with a smile: "Actually, you can tell whether a person can succeed from his words and deeds! Chronos Lee, you are a good young man. As long as you work hard and persist, you can succeed." It will definitely succeed!!!”

"Thank you Mr. Thomas Rockefeller for your praise and encouragement. I will work hard!" Li Zetian said humbly. Li Zetian is weak today, so he should show humility in front of a strong person. In addition, even if you become very rich in the future, it is always right for a person to maintain a humble attitude.

Among all the top conglomerate 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 self-made business legend. The reason why he became the richest man in the world was mainly due to his outstanding courage and ability. Although he also had unscrupulous means, compared with the giants of his contemporaries, The rich are relatively good! In addition, this family has always been keen on philanthropy and is by far the family that has made the largest contribution to philanthropy in the world!

"Okay, bye!" Thomas Rockefeller said goodbye.

"Goodbye, Mr. Rockefeller!" everyone said in unison.

Li Zetian looked at Thomas Rockefeller's leaving figure and said secretly, "I believe that it won't be long before we meet again. By then, you will definitely be shocked..."

"Okay, let's go back to school!"

Li Zetian said, helping Yu Jingqiu pick up the bag.

"Yes!" Yu Jingqiu and Bill Gates responded, followed Li Zetian, and after a while, the three of them left the restaurant.

At night, Li Zetian still slept in his dormitory. Although he dropped out of school, no students had moved here yet.

When he was bored, Li Zetian chatted with Bill Gates about work matters and guided him on how to carry out his work after joining Microsoft.

We chatted until late into the night.

The next day, when Yu Jingqiu came to their dormitory, they were still sleeping.

"Staying up late again at night?" Yu Jingqiu said dissatisfied, "Remember to stay up less late in the future, it is not good for your health!!!"

"Okay, I got it! Well... where did you buy the delicious steamed buns? Boston's Chinatown is far away from here..." Li Zetian asked while opening the breakfast brought by Yu Jingqiu.

Yu Jingqiu smiled slightly and said, "I'm learning how to make Chinese steamed buns. Hurry up and try how they taste!"

"You made it? Then I have to taste it!"

Li Zetian picked up a bun and took a big bite, eating it with gusto.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Yu Jingqiu asked.

"Hmm... the taste is soft, the fragrance is not greasy, and the appearance is like a chrysanthemum. It can be said that the color, fragrance and shape are unique! Not bad! I never thought that my girlfriend is Baozi Xishi!!!" Li Zetian was not stingy in his praise.

Yu Jingqiu was delighted, "If you like to eat, then eat more!"

"I can eat 10 such delicious buns in a row, believe it or not!" Li Zetian joked.

"It's weird to believe you. Four people will kill you!" Yu Jingqiu rolled her eyes at him.

“Bill, come and eat something delicious, Chinese steamed buns, Susan’s new craft!!!”

When Bill Gates heard this, his eyes lit up and he jumped up from 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 the parents"?

"Okay, no problem!" Li Zetian nodded.

"Then this Christmas, come with me to New York!"

"Okay, no problem! By the way, you'd better tell me in advance what uncle's hobbies and interests are, what he likes and what he doesn't like, so that I can be prepared! If uncle doesn't like me, that would be terrible... …”

It was the first time that Yu Jingqiu saw Li Zetian so nervous, so she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, I'll make a form for you!"

When Li Zetian saw Yu Jingqiu "laughing" at him, he couldn't help but thought bitterly, "After I go to your house, I will take you to mine to see if you are nervous or not? It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. Let you be proud 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 him.

"Paul, I want to talk to you alone!" Li Zetian said.

"Okay!" Paul Allen nodded.

After the others left, Li Zetian organized some words and said: "The controlling shareholder of Microsoft is Umbrella. Bill Gates joined Microsoft and gave 12.5% ​​of the shares. They not only took a fancy to Bill Gates' ability, but also There is also his family background, including legal, banking, connections and other resources! Paul, what conditions do you need to put forward to join Microsoft? I can try my best to fight for it with Umbrella!" Li Zetian had planned to tell him directly to give him 3% of the shares. But then I thought about it, this was inappropriate and could easily cause him to feel unbalanced, so it would be better to let him put forward his own conditions.

Paul Allen thought for a while and realized that he was incomparable to Bill Gates, and his relationship with Chronos was not as familiar as theirs, so naturally he could not get the same treatment as Bill Gates.

"Does the company have an option reward system?" Paul asked.

"Yes! Depending on their individual performance, employees who have made great contributions to the company can receive option rewards ranging from 1% to 10%!"

Li Zetian started to draw the pie, "If you join Microsoft, I can make you the chief technology officer. In this way, the greater your 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!"
