Chapter 607 Old School Style(1/2)
From the initial shock of seeing Smith, to the panic of learning more people's identities, to the final numbness, it didn't take Frank long.
It was Frank who rescued Gao Guang. The young man who worked hard to prove himself in order to survive, more than a year later, developed such a network of connections. This made Frank no longer sigh, but feel confused.
.
How did you mix it up?
We are all the same people, so why are the differences so huge?
It can only be said that people are more infuriating than others. Frank really felt the huge gap in status. Therefore, instead of regaining his confidence in his own abilities, he was hit, and the blow was a bit big.
But confidence in the future, mainly confidence in making money, is not a matter of whether it can be restored. Frank has to remind himself not to be too inflated.
This has something to do with the Western social system, because as long as these people are willing to attend the cocktail party specially designed to welcome Frank back and are willing to get to know Frank, it means that they are willing to provide necessary help to Frank within their ability.
Networking is like carrying people in a sedan chair, and then naturally there are many more connections, and finally they are compiled into a network of friends.
The highlight was to welcome Frank and to have this cocktail party to regain Frank's confidence, but he also took the opportunity to draw out his social circle and show off, which was almost like showing off his trump cards.
When Smith sees that Gao Guang has friends like Miss Sara and General Lloyd, he must give Gao Guang a higher opinion. When Lloyd sees Gao Guang's social circle, he must consider whether Gao Guang is used as cannon fodder and a shield.
Not appropriate.
As for Wharton and his wife, Gao Guang has a good relationship with the police, but after today, they will also know that apart from his relationship with the police, Gao Guang can also enjoy and play well in the military.
People with similar status can use this cocktail party hosted by Gao Guang to expand their social circle. For example, Miss Sara and Eric, their financial resources and influence are quite different. They can just keep a relationship with Gao Guang because of their relationship.
Contact information, even if you know each other in the future, although it may not be useful now, it may be useful in the future.
As for Smith, after all, he is in the PC business, so he naturally has to get close to Lloyd.
So with the help of this cocktail party and the influence of many friends, Gao Guang raised his status and influence. From today on, it may not be possible in other fields, but in Los Angeles, in the field of PC,
Gao Guang is considered the number one person.
It doesn't matter whether others know it or not, but it is most important that Gao Guang is recognized as a figure in his own circle.
The reception didn't last very long, only about an hour, and then the VIPs invited by Highlights began to leave one after another.
Smith already knew Frank, and they had known each other much earlier than Gao Guang, but Smith left early because he knew that if he stayed, some things would be difficult to say.
It stands to reason that Smith should support Frank. After all, he is an old subordinate and employee, and Smith has always been good to Frank in the past. But now, Gao Guang obviously wants to reuse Frank. So should Smith encourage Frank to work hard for Gao Guang, or should he encourage Frank to work hard for Gao Guang?
Let Gao Guang work well for Frank.
To reach the top position in an industry, Smith did not rely on fighting and killing.
Knowing that it would be inappropriate to say anything, I might as well leave early and wait until Gao Guang and Frank's relationship is finalized before slowly reminiscing about old times.
It's not a good time to talk about business today, because today is just for Frank to clean things up. He just needs to get drunk, put an end to all the bad things, and then fly away happily.
Until the next day, when Gao Guang woke up, he felt like he had a splitting headache and his steps were sluggish, so he simply let Mike hold Frank for another day of fun. It wasn't until the third day that he could talk about business.
But Gao Guang's plan to talk business with Frank was disrupted again by an accident.
Francisco's cousin is finally here!
Gao Guang lives in his own home, which is the house that Miss Sara gave him. It is a house in the same community as the Whartons. But today, Francisco brought his cousin without notifying him in advance.
My brother came directly to visit me.
For Francisco, who looked a little dull and seemed to be lacking in brains, but actually attached great importance to rules, this move was very rare.
Even if Francisco's cousin wants to work in the King's Defense, the first meeting should be at the company, not at home. If Francisco brings his cousin directly to Gao Guang's home, it means that he
My cousin is not just looking for a job, but working for Gaoguang.
There is a difference, and the difference is huge.
Gao Guang was awakened by the sound of the doorbell. He did not ask for a servant, so he had to open the door himself. Then when he opened the door, he found Francisco and a young man with a stubble on his face standing outside.
Both of them were wearing serious black suits, but one was wearing a red tie and the other was wearing a tie with blue stripes and red dots. Otherwise, these two people would have looked as serious as if they were attending a funeral.
Gao Guang was wearing a nightgown and looked at Francisco outside the door in a daze.
"Boss."
Francisco turned sideways and pointed his right hand at the young man beside him, and then he said with a serious face: "This is the cousin I have told you about several times, Riccardo Grillo."
Gao Guang was stunned for a while, because Riccardo was so handsome that he could be a star, but the expression on his face was too serious, and his eyes looked fierce.
It's not cold, it's fierce and fierce that only a thug should have. This kind of eyes and serious expression are very suitable for Francisco, but it seems very inconsistent when it appears on a handsome guy who is a top student in the law department.
Riccardo bowed slightly and said with determination: "It's an honor to meet you, sir."
The porch was relatively high, Gao Guang looked down at the two of them, and then, he suddenly felt that he was very rude.
"Hello, please come in, please come in quickly."
Wearing a nightgown, he had to cover it with one hand to prevent exposure. The highlight looked a bit embarrassing, because Francisco did not notify him in advance, and the two of them were dressed too formally, which caught him off guard.
Gao Guang opened the door and warmly welcomed the two of them in. Then Gao Guang said urgently to Francisco: "You can sit wherever you like and get whatever you want to drink. I'll go change my clothes."
Gao Guang hurried into the bedroom and started looking for clothes suitable for meeting guests.
We are all our own people, so you’re welcome. Francisco and Riccardo walked into Gaoguang’s living room, then Francisco pointed to the sofa and said, “Sit down.”
Riccardo frowned, then he shook his head and whispered: "Cousin, this is very rude. I can't be too casual when we meet for the first time."
Francisco stood in awe, and then he whispered: "You are right, in the United States, I forgot a lot of etiquette, which is not good."
Francisco and his cousin stood neatly beside the sofa in the living room, standing there politely and respectfully, waiting for the highlight to come out.
Gao Guang originally wanted to wear a suit, but he felt it was unnecessary at home, so he put on a white shirt, a pair of trousers, and no tie. He hurriedly washed his face before entering the living room again.
Seeing the two people standing solemnly, Gao Guang was surprised again. Then he hurriedly walked to Riccardo and said enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, I heard Francisco talking about you many times.
.”
Riccardo held Gao Guang's right hand, then he lowered his head, bowed slightly, and said deeply: "Dear Mr. Gao, I want to work for you, but I don't know if I have the honor."
Gao Guang was stunned again. He held Riccardo's hand and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Effectiveness and work are two different words, and their meanings are quite different.
In the movies Gao Guang has watched, the mafia doesn't look like this, so Riccardo doesn't seem to be imitating the plot in the movie, but it's so serious and formal, which is really awkward.
Gao Guang looked at Francisco with pleading eyes, but he found that Francisco was equally serious.
"welcome."
Gao Guang wanted to say welcome to join the king's defense, and for Francisco's sake, he could skip the inspection step, but Riccardo was so serious and talked about effectiveness, so he suppressed the rest of his words.
"Please sit down, sit down and talk."
There was no chair, so Gao Guang let go of his right hand, took two steps back and sat on the sofa. Then Riccardo stepped aside, letting Francisco sit down first, and then sat down to the side in an orderly manner.
Gao Guang organized his words, then he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Riccardo, I heard that you are studying law. Well, it happens that our company lacks a professional legal consultant. It would be best if you can join."
But it’s too late.”
Riccardo stood up immediately, looking a little excited, and then he said in a deep voice: "Then do you agree to let me work for you?"
"Yes, there is nothing to say. You are studying law, so of course you are responsible for this area of affairs."
Gao Guang thought his response was normal, but Riccardo was very excited. He said solemnly: "Thank you boss for your trust, but I can't hold such a high position as a legal advisor just after joining. I lack experience and have no ability."
Prove that you are not qualified to be your legal advisor."
Gao Guang looked at Francisco, who was motionless.
Riccardo continued: "My cousin started as a thug, and now he has become your executive officer, boss. Thank you for your trust. Please let me start as a thug."
Gao Guang was stunned for a while and said: "Do you have any misunderstanding about our company? Well, we are a defense company and we also do some arms business. I want to ask you to do some legal work, not to make you a
A thug."
How could Gao Guang, a top student in the law department, work as a thug like a fool like Francisco and waste everything he had? How could Gao Guang do such a thing?
But Riccardo seems to be living in the last century.
Riccardo looked at Francisco, who also stood up and said respectfully: "Boss, please allow me to explain for him?"
Gao Guang stretched out his hand and said helplessly: "Man, don't be so serious. You two scared me. We are all brothers. You can say whatever you want. Now you are making me nervous.
.”
Francisco said very seriously: "According to the rules of our Grillo family, Riccardo must kill his father-killing enemy before he can reach adulthood. Our Grillo has a long history and attaches great importance to the family reputation. No matter I
Both Riccardo and Riccardo have the responsibility to restore the glory of the family, but Riccardo must kill his enemy himself. Only if he dies can I avenge him."
Gao Guang nodded.
Francisco continued: "Riccardo tried to take revenge, but unfortunately failed, so he came to the United States early, but after knowing my experience, he couldn't wait to play for you. He hoped to be in the United States.
Your man becomes a killer and a warrior, allowing him to complete his revenge."
Riccardo added: "The law is useful when running the Grillo family's industry, but the Grillo family's industry has been completely destroyed. I must recreate the glory of the family from the perspective of an entrepreneur."
After finishing speaking, Riccardo immediately lowered his head and said: "I need your teaching and guidance, but I can't serve you for the rest of my life. I hope you can accept my incomplete allegiance, but if you refuse, I understand."
And accept it.”
This is not right, this is very wrong.
