Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"Of course I remember, we've been friends since we were kids."

Henry gestured for Barron to sit down, and then sat down on the sofa opposite him.

Henry naturally recognized Nancy, whom Barron had mentioned!

She is the youngest of Barron Hilton's eight children, and is a year older than Henry.

Henry and she had a lot of interaction since childhood due to the relationship between their parents.

"That's right, Nancy is currently studying at the University of San Jose, and she is very interested in computer science and technology."

She told me that she admires you and your company for the software you have recently developed.

So, I'd like to ask you, is it possible for her to intern at Meimeng Software for a period of time?

I believe this will be a valuable experience for her.

After Barron settled down, he looked at Henry with anticipation and said.

???

Henry was stunned after hearing that!

He had initially thought the other person wanted to see him tonight because they had something important to discuss!

That's it?

Unable to figure out what Barron Hilton meant, Barron asked directly, "Just a simple internship?"

"Of course."

"Okay! Of course, Uncle Barron."

Dreamsoft is always looking for talented young people to join us.

With Nancy's resume and interests, I believe she would be a perfect fit for our team.

In upper-class American society, there has long existed a so-called "revolving door" system, which uses family and personal networks to provide future generations with job opportunities in top-tier, emerging companies, thereby ensuring that family members have rich resumes and occupy more advantageous positions in the business world.

"Haha! That's great, Henry."

Barron smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "I really thank you. I know Alice will cherish this opportunity very much."

She had been looking for an opportunity to enter this industry, and Dream Software was undoubtedly the best starting point.

"You're welcome, Uncle Barron. It's our pleasure," Henry said. "We can arrange for our human resources department to contact you to determine the specific time and details."

Alternatively, if it's convenient for you, Nancy can contact our Human Resources Manager directly.

"No problem, Henry." Barron nodded. "I'll tell her to contact you."

"Yes, Uncle Barron," Henry said. "Please let me know if she has any questions or needs any help."

Barron Hilton stood up and shook hands with Henry: "Thank you again, Henry."

You are a true gentleman, just like your father.

Henry also stood up: "Uncle Barron, you're too kind."

"Mom, Barron Hilton just came to see me!"

The celebratory dinner ended close to midnight.

Henry returned by car to his residence at Green Gables Estate.

This five-generation building, with more than half a century of history, was originally built in the early 20th century by Mortimer Fleishhacker, the founder of the Anglo-California Bank and Great Western Electric Company.

Spanning 74 acres, located in the renowned Woodside, California, the estate comprises nine lots and contains only seven residences.

Over the years, the estate has witnessed countless important moments, including the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations in 1965, as well as various corporate meetings and weddings.

Henry currently resides in Villa No. 5, which boasts 7 bedrooms and 11.5 bathrooms, spanning 23,900 square feet. It is an ideal retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, while also offering numerous possibilities for expansion and redevelopment.

He was wearing pajamas, half-reclining on the Hickory Chair Company sofa, one of the most popular high-society sofas in mid-20th century America, listening to Gloria's slightly displeased voice coming through the receiver: "Henry, disturbing someone's sleep is not a gentlemanly thing to do."

"But Mom, aren't you already in Paris?" Henry asked. "According to the time difference, it should be nine o'clock in the morning there!"

As we all know, time zones vary around the world;

California uses Pacific Time (PT), while Paris uses Central European Time (CET) or Central European Summer Time (CEST).

Normally, PT is 8 hours behind CET and 7 hours behind CEST.

However, due to daylight saving time, the time difference between the two sides needs to be adjusted by another hour.

The United States begins Daylight Saving Time on the second Sunday of March and ends on the first Sunday of November;

In France, it begins on the last Sunday of March and ends on the last Sunday of October.

It's early April now, and both sides are in daylight saving time, so midnight in San Francisco is equivalent to 9 a.m. in Paris.

"Even at nine o'clock, it's not okay! Don't you know Mom is on vacation?!"

"Wait, what did you just say? Barron Hilton came to see you?" Gloria complained.

The deafening roar made Henry involuntarily move the receiver slightly away from his ear.

Once his mother's voice returned to calm, he quickly replied, "Yes, Mom."

"My company, Dream Software, achieved sales of $1.11 million last month, so we're having a celebration party at the Hilton Hotel tonight."

Barron Hilton came to visit unexpectedly tonight, seemingly wanting to discuss something with us.

Henry recounted in detail his meeting with Barron Hilton that evening;

Over the years, Gloria has been in charge of liaising with various external relationships, and the complexities involved certainly cannot escape her insight.

"You can handle the matter of transferring Nancy Hilton to your software company yourself!"

The mother's words carried a hint of seriousness: "After Conrad Hilton's death, he donated 97% of the Hilton family's assets (approximately 1350 million shares of Hilton Hotels) to the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation for charitable causes, which resulted in Barron and others losing control of the vast majority of Hilton Group's shares."

Therefore, he recently filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles court seeking to regain the Hilton Hotel shares held by the foundation in order to become the true heir to the family business.

However, due to the complexity and length of the legal process, Barron Hilton is seeking assistance from our family.

However, I refused his request.
