Chinese people have a relatively strong concept of family. In the minds of most Chinese people, family affairs are full of warmth and happiness. It is a place that can comfort the soul and give people strength. The house is the concrete representation of home, which carries too much of people's trust in home.
, hope and yearning.
In this way, buying a house is naturally the top priority. Li Jie has been busy with the company's affairs during this time. He didn't pay much attention to Su Mingzhe and his wife's house purchase. Su Mingyu was involved in the whole process and would talk to Li Jie for half a day every time he came back.
, how is this community, and how bad is this house?
Not to mention that enthusiasm, she even gave up her studies to buy a house for Su Mingzhe, but this is normal. After all, she felt the care from her family here that she had never experienced in China. Li Jie didn't say anything.
, as long as Su Mingyu is happy, the purpose of going abroad is not just to study anyway.
Land in San Francisco is very expensive, and houses are very expensive. The price range of townhouses in the urban area is about 700,000 to 900,000 US dollars. Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei’s budget is only 500,000 US dollars. This amount of money is in San Francisco.
You can only buy apartments in the city.
Both of them had the dream of a big house, and finally chose a townhouse on the outskirts of the city. The transaction price was slightly higher than 500,000, but it was still within their affordability range.
Although the price is a little more expensive than expected, fortunately, this house comes with its own decoration, and the furniture is not particularly old, which saves the cost of decoration. Overall, the price is quite reasonable. The original owner of the house is a retired man.
An engineer who was preparing to return to his hometown recently, Su Mingzhe made a mistake.
After the house was delivered, Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei couldn't wait to move into their new home, and even specially invited Li Jie and Su Mingzhe to visit.
Su Mingzhe and his wife couldn't hide the smiles on their faces. After working hard outside for many years, they finally settled in the United States. The only thing left is to settle down. If nothing happens, they will be able to apply for green cards in a few years. Everything
Everything is developing in a good direction, and my life is prosperous.
Buying a house has almost wiped out the savings of Su Mingzhe and his wife. Li Jie plans to take this opportunity to recruit Su Mingzhe. In fact, if calculated based on the average annual salary of Stanford graduates, Su Mingzhe's salary is far below the average.
If Su Mingzhe was really worthless, Li Jie would not have made such a deliberate plan. It was not that Li Jie had not discussed technical issues with him during the relationship. In terms of professionalism, Su Mingzhe still had a few brushes, otherwise he would not be a good person.
The technical backbone of the company's team.
After the first dinner together in their new home, Su Mingzhe secretly pulled Li Jie to the balcony on the second floor.
"Tiandong, I have done all the suggestions you made last time, but my mother doesn't seem to have much reaction. Every time I mention Mingyu, she looks like she is not interested, or else she is...
If we quickly skip this topic with a joke, do you think the progress will be too slow if we continue like this?"
Li Jie frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and a knot formed unconsciously on his forehead. Is it possible that Zhao Meilan has a heart of stone? Or maybe Su Mingzhe didn't notice some details. This is why fake hands are not good for others. Many things
Unable to experience it personally, there is a layer of separation in between and it is always like seeing flowers in the fog.
"Brother Mingzhe, the results of this matter are not something that can be seen in three or two days. Be patient and don't be impatient. You have to believe that everything is done step by step. Then observe and observe."
"Well, let's not mention this matter for now. Brother Mingzhe, in fact, I also have something to ask you today."
"oh?"
Su Mingzhe showed a hint of surprise. This was the first time he heard the word "help" from Li Jie during this period of contact. He saw the relationship between Li Jie and his sister. He had long regarded Li Jie as a half-hearted person.
The Su family members immediately patted their chests and showed their support.
"Tiandong, just say whatever you want, I will definitely help you if I can!"
Li Jie didn't intend to beat around the bush and said bluntly: "It's like this. I've been busy with company financing some time ago. I missed a lot of classes at school. My tutor came to me two days ago. If I continue like this, I'll just
I’m afraid it will be difficult to graduate.”
"So, I'm afraid I won't be able to distract myself from the company. Another partner of the company is a student at Stanford, who can be regarded as your junior brother, but he has now dropped out of school.
However, he is relatively young and lacks experience. Now I need to find an experienced person to partner with him, and it must be one of our own."
At this point, Li Jie paused for a moment. What he said was already very obvious. Su Mingzhe should have understood even though he was so stupid. The hesitant expression on his face had already betrayed his thoughts.
Li Jie knew what he was worried about. Both Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei wanted to stay in the United States, and his company was currently not qualified to help foreign employees apply for green cards.
"Brother Mingzhe, I will definitely not treat you badly if you come. In addition to doubling your salary, you will also get 3% of the shares. However, you can only enjoy dividends from these 3% of shares, and you can only cash them out after the company's IPO.
"
Su Mingzhe's hesitation was not because of money. He quickly prepared to explain, but Li Jie spoke first.
"Actually, you don't have to worry about the green card. With the current potential of the program, it is only a matter of time before you are eligible to apply for a green card. Don't worry, as long as the qualifications are passed, I will help you apply for a green card as soon as possible."
Su Mingzhe has also heard about Li Jie's company from Su Mingyu. He has never eaten pork or seen pigs running. A start-up company that can be chased by many VCs will definitely be qualified to apply for a green card even if it cannot eventually IPO.
There is no problem.
Su Mingzhe's worries don't stop there. He still knows how much he weighs. When it comes to technical problems, he dares to pat his chest and guarantee that there will be no problems.
But when it comes to other aspects, he feels a little unsure. The app that burns after reading has raised US$5 million in Pre-A round of financing, and only transferred 17% of the equity. Su Mingyu raised this matter with him.
However, this means that the valuation of this company, which was founded less than a year ago, has exceeded 10 million.
If he messed up this matter, then how could he have the face to see Xiaomei and Li Jie in the future? Besides, he was not the kind of person who acted vigorously and resolutely in the first place. When he suddenly learned the news, he didn't even think about it.
Know whether you should agree or not.
Li Jie didn't expect Su Mingzhe to agree on the spot. After all, changing jobs was a big deal, especially since Su Mingzhe was about to get married and bought a house and took on a mortgage. This matter must be discussed with Wu Fei. As for Wu Fei,
On the other hand, he was not too worried. Compared to the indecisive Su Mingzhe, Wu Fei was obviously more courageous.
"Brother Mingzhe, this matter is not urgent at the moment. You should think about it carefully and discuss it with Sister Fei later."
