The concept of family in Huarao is relatively strong. In the hearts 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, carrying too much of people's expectations for home. Ting hopes and yearns.
In this way, buying a house is naturally a 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 fully involved in the matter, and would have sex with Li Jie every time he came back. , how is this community, and how bad is this house?
Not to mention the enthusiasm, she even gave up her studies to buy a house for Su Mingzhe, but this is normal. After all, she feels the care from her family here that she has never experienced in China, and Li Jie didn't go anywhere. As long as Su Mingyu is happy, the purpose of going abroad is not just to study anyway.
The urban area of 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 only have a budget of 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 happened to be preparing to return to his hometown in the near future, Su Mingzhe took advantage of it.
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 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. Su Mingzhe still had a few skills in terms of professionalism, otherwise he would not be able to be a good person. The technical backbone of the company's team.
After the first dinner in their new home, Su Mingzhe secretly pulled Li Jie to the balcony on the second floor.
"Dong, 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 she just makes jokes. Quickly skip this topic, wouldn’t the progress be too slow if you continue like this?”
Li Jie frowned slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and a knot formed on his forehead unconsciously. Could it be that Zhao Meilan had a heart of stone? Su Mingzhe still didn't pay attention to some details. That's why fake hands are not good for people. Many things cannot be experienced personally. There is a layer of separation between them and it is always like seeing flowers in the fog.
"Brother Mingzhe, this matter is not something that can be achieved in just a few or two. 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 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 since they had been in contact with him for a long time. He had seen 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 made a big deal.
"Dong, just go ahead and I will 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. The first two tutors found me. If this continues, I'm afraid... It’s hard 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 is considered 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. "
Li Jie paused for a moment. His feelings were already obvious. Su Mingzhe should have understood even if he was dumb and confused. 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 not yet 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 was the first to speak.
"In fact, you don't have to worry about the green card. With the current potential of Read and Burn, 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, even if it cannot eventually IPO, will definitely be qualified to apply for a green card. No problem.
Su Mingzhe's worries don't end there. He still knows how much he weighs. If there are 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 5 million US dollars 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, how could he have the face to meet his sister and Li Jie in the future? Besides, he was not the kind of person who acted vigorously and resolutely, so when he suddenly learned the news, he didn't know what to do. Should I agree to it?
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."
