Q

In 1902, his father had emigrated from Lebanon to Mexico at the age of 14; at the time he did not speak Spanish. It was not uncommon for Lebanese children to be sent abroad before they reached the age of 15 because they could thus avoid being conscripted into the army of the Ottoman Empire. In 1911, His father established a dry goods store, which meant The Star of the Orient. By 1921, he had purchased real estate in the flourishing commercial district of Mexico City. These enterprises became the source of considerable wealth. Whose Parents story is being described here ?

A-Carlos Slim
