Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 639 Agreement and Choice (Two in One)

Time flies to the last day of this month, which is Friday of this week.

In London, Wei Li and his team are still conducting in-depth research on Bentley. This is the fifth day of the research, and the research is almost over so far.

On Xiangjiang's side, the offshore company Watron's side has not received a reply from Jardine Matheson, and there is no result yet.

On the other hand, Qin Lan bought another 3.2% of the telephone company's shares through the stock market through minority shareholders. At this time, Lin Baicheng's shareholding in the telephone company has exceeded 30%.

If Lin Baicheng publicly acquires the telephone company at this time, it is entirely possible to increase the shareholding to 40% or more before all parties react. However, in order to increase the probability of success, he did not immediately open the acquisition, and he is going to wait. See if you can buy some more shares before going public.

This week, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price fluctuated and fell, with the stock price fluctuating within a narrow range between HK$100 and HK$105, and the total market value has fallen below HK$500 billion.

As for the trend of the international gold price, it has already fallen below the price of 650 US dollars per ounce yesterday, but it is not known whether it will continue to fall or rebound a little today.

The international gold price has fallen, and Hutchison Whampoa's investment is actually profitable, with a profit of almost [-] million US dollars. Although this profit is not very high compared to Hutchison Whampoa's current market value, it is definitely a good thing. At least it can make the current stock price of Hutchison Whampoa It rebounded, but Lin Baicheng didn't let anyone announce this benefit to the outside world.

The international gold price fell sharply this week, and the oil price rebounded this week after last week's drop, and broke through the previous high, approaching the price of 30 US dollars per barrel.

The current oil futures are long and long, and Lin Baicheng's own funds are operated by Galaxy Bank, with 2 million US dollars using ten times leverage.In addition, on the side of the Golden Fleece Company, some of the oil futures long orders operated by Vivien Kelly have not been liquidated.

Vivien Kelly had already reported to Lin Baicheng, saying that after the oil price rose above $30 a barrel, shipments would begin, and Lin Baicheng agreed.Lin Baicheng also asked Yuan Tianfan to do the same, so that Galaxy Bank would start to leave at a profit after the oil price broke through 30 US dollars per barrel.

Lin Baicheng vaguely remembered that this wave of oil prices could reach close to 40 US dollars per barrel, but still the same sentence, it is better not to earn the last dollar, there are too many variables, and the most important thing is to be safe.

It is already foreseeable that Lin Baicheng will make a lot of money, at least billions of dollars, by doing long oil futures this time.

Whether it is the profit of long gold futures or the profit of long oil futures, Lin Baicheng already has a general idea of ​​the use of funds.Anyway, all the funds will not be put in the bank to earn interest. Currency depreciation caused by inflation has always existed, and money in the bank cannot run away from inflation.

After get off work, Lin Baicheng went home for dinner.

As soon as he got home, Lin Baicheng saw Lin's father, Lin's mother and sister Lin Shufang talking about something.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Lin Baicheng found that Lin Shufang seemed a little excited.

Mother Lin beckoned to Lin Baicheng: "Son, come here, Mom has something to say to you."

"Dad, Mom, what's the matter?"

Seeing this, Lin Baicheng walked over suspiciously.

Mother Lin said: "Son, Mom asked you something, did you ask Yufeng to sign a prenuptial agreement?"

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Lin Baicheng couldn't help but frowned and looked at Lin Shufang, thinking that it was Lin Shufang who came back and told her parents. "Sister, how did you know about this? I asked Qin Lan to find Yufeng to sign the agreement alone. Did Qin Lan fail to do things well, or did Yufeng tell you?"

No matter what the situation is, Lin Baicheng is very dissatisfied.If it is Qin Lan's incompetence, it means that Qin Lan's ability is problematic, and Qin Lan is the director of Xiangjiang Secretariat, this position cannot be filled by a person who is incompetent.

And if Cheng Yufeng told Lin Shufang, it means that Cheng Yufeng was dissatisfied with the signing of the prenuptial agreement, but he reluctantly signed the agreement because of his power, and turned around and told Lin Shufang about it, obviously to let Lin Shufang know Stand out, intending to make Lin Baicheng change his decision.

"No, it has nothing to do with them."

Lin Shufang said emotionally: "I discovered it myself! Brother, why did you ask Yufeng to sign a prenuptial agreement? What does Yufeng think of me? Does he think we look down on him?"

"You found it yourself? What a coincidence."

Lin Baicheng snorted, he was not guilty, but rather annoyed.He didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world. Just two days after signing the prenuptial agreement, Lin Shufang accidentally found out that Cheng Yufeng didn't keep a document. Instead of believing this, he believed it was Cheng Yufeng. Feng deliberately let Lin Shufang discover this document.

The prenuptial agreement signed by Cheng Yufeng was naturally in duplicate, and he himself kept one.What's more, at present, only the prenuptial agreement has been signed, but the dowry given by Lin Baicheng has not been signed yet. It looks like Cheng Yufeng and Lin Shufang won't get any money after they get married.

Lin Baicheng had reason to suspect that Cheng Yufeng felt that he would not get any money, so he resorted to tricks to get Lin Shufang to stand up against the prenuptial agreement.Although Lin Shufang has been tempered for a year or two, she was just an ordinary person before, and she was Cheng Yufeng's opponent in terms of means.

Of course, these are just Lin Baicheng's suspicions. Maybe it's really just a coincidence. Cheng Yufeng didn't use any tricks, but Lin Baicheng believed in his suspicions more than coincidences.

Father Lin persuaded: "Son, I don't think you should sign the prenuptial agreement. It looks like you think they will get divorced in the future. It makes it seem like Yufeng married your sister for money. It's not good to do this." .”

Lin's mother also said: "Yes, if you do this, Yufeng might feel uncomfortable. If Yufeng's parents find out, can he treat your sister well? How will you live in the future?"

"Dad, Mom, prenuptial agreements are common for families like ours."

Lin Baicheng looked at his sister Lin Shufang as he spoke, and said, "Let's just talk about myself. If I get married in the future, I will definitely sign a prenuptial agreement with the woman. It has nothing to do with whether I love her or not."

In the future, with a net worth of at least hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, no matter which girl Lin Baicheng marries, he will sign a prenuptial agreement with the other party.He will not test human nature, as long as he divorces him, he can get half of his net worth, and he can do whatever he wants in the future. How dare he bet that the person next to him will always love him and will not divorce him.

When temptation is too great, anything can happen.

"You are you, I am different from you."

Lin Shufang knows that after the divorce, the husband and wife will divide the property equally. Her younger brother Lin Baicheng has a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. It is necessary to sign a prenuptial agreement, but she is different. She only has the 1% shares of Galaxy Games Company. Although it is also valuable, she I don't want to be separated from my future husband because of these shares.

"These are two documents I prepared. They were originally intended for my sister and Yufeng to sign."

Lin Baicheng did not try to persuade Lin Shufang, and took out the two share transfer contracts in the briefcase while speaking. "This is the dowry I prepared for my sister. 1% of the shares of Galaxy Games and 1% of Hutchison Whampoa are for you, and 100 million shares of Hutchison Whampoa are for Yufeng. Even if you divorce in the future, these shares It also belongs to Yufeng and is not included in the prenuptial agreement."

Lin Shufang took two documents and browsed them roughly, and found that it was indeed as Lin Baicheng said.

At this time, Lin Baicheng said to Lin's father and Lin's mother: "Dad, Mom, the dowry I gave to my sister is worth more than 12 million Hong Kong dollars, and my sister's total net worth is about [-] billion Hong Kong dollars. The share for Yufeng is worth one yuan. There are more than [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and he can exchange them for cash at any time."

"You gave so much?!"

Lin's father and Lin's mother's attention was immediately diverted. Whether it was more than one billion Hong Kong dollars or more than 1 million Hong Kong dollars, it was an unimaginable astronomical figure for them before.Even if they now know that their son has a net worth of 300 billion Hong Kong dollars, more than one billion Hong Kong dollars is still a large amount.

"Son, your dowry is too generous, so you don't need to give that much."

After looking at her daughter, Mother Lin still said that she was more inclined to her son, after all, the married daughter splashed the water.

Father Lin also nodded in agreement. He said to Lin Shufang, "Fang, your brother gave too much. Don't blame your parents for being partial. Our family's money is all earned by your brother, and it is not easy for him to make money."

If it was passed down from the ancestors, or if it was earned by Father Lin himself, then Father Lin would give more dowry out of love for his daughter.But the money is earned by the son, so there is no reason to give such a generous dowry.

"Dad, Mom, I know."

Although she disagreed with her father's last sentence of "making money is not easy", Lin Shufang also knew what her parents meant, and she also knew that the dowry her brother gave this time was too generous, worth almost one billion Hong Kong dollars, which was worth more than many wealthy families. Want more wealth.

"Dad, Mom, this is my dowry to my sister, and it is my heart."

After Lin Baicheng was reborn, he received the memories and emotions of his predecessor. Therefore, with his total net worth of about [-] billion Hong Kong dollars, he was willing to give a dowry of about one billion Hong Kong dollars, and he never thought about giving it less.

"However, I gave this to my sister. I know that my sister is in love with Yufeng now, and I also hope that they will love each other forever, but I want to be on guard, so these can only be under your name, sister. In case your relationship is not good one day and divorced, I don't want to see half of the wealth divided by him."

"Xiaofang, your brother's concerns are not unreasonable, he is also for your own good."

After hearing Lin Baicheng's explanation, Lin's mother immediately stood by her son. She felt that what his son said was very reasonable, and she really had to guard against it. This is a wealth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, half of which is about [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

"My relationship with Yufeng is very good, we will not divorce."

Lin Shufang immediately retorted. Although she understood a little now, she still felt uncomfortable doing so.

Father Lin said aloud: "To be honest, there is nothing wrong with your brother doing this. But it is really bad and embarrassing."

Choosing to sign a prenuptial agreement may affect the relationship between Cheng Yufeng and Lin Shufang; choosing not to sign an agreement, which is a net worth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, will be divided in half after divorce. It hurts.

In this way, it is naturally not a good choice.

Lin Baicheng said to Lin Shufang at this time: "Sister, I will give you and Yufeng two choices, listen and see."

"You said."

"The first choice is to sign a prenuptial agreement. I will give you 1% of the shares of Xinghe Game Company and Hutchison Whampoa, and give Cheng Yufeng 50 shares of Hutchison Whampoa. That's right, there are only 50 shares now. I decided to give less."

"The second choice is not to sign a prenuptial agreement. This time the dowry is not counted as those purchased. Our Lin family only gave a cash red envelope of 888 million Hong Kong dollars. As for the shares, I will set up a fund and give 1% of the money I gave Galaxy Games shares, 540 million Hutchison Whampoa shares, and your original 1% Galaxy Games shares are placed in this fund, and you cannot use these shares, only the company’s cash dividends can be used by you.”

"When you have children, and when the children are adults, it will be up to you to decide who to distribute the shares to, and I will not interfere."

"That is to say, if you choose the second option, sister, you and Cheng Yufeng will not be able to get those shares, which belong to your children."

Lin Baicheng explained the solution he just thought of. He was just a little worried that Cheng Yufeng and Lin Shufang would get their property after divorce, but if they had a child and the child was an adult, then he didn't have to worry about it.

"The second option is fine."

Before Lin Shufang made a choice, Mother Lin spoke up first.In her opinion, it is right for parents to leave property to the next generation.

Father Lin said, "Let my daughter make her own decision."

Lin Shufang didn't make a decision right away. She not only had to consider herself, but also Cheng Yufeng. After all, the first choice Cheng Yufeng could get more than 5000 million Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, but the second choice was less than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars. The difference is huge.

"Sister, you don't have to rush to make a decision on this matter."

Seeing this, Lin Baicheng said to Lin Shufang: "You can discuss it with Yufeng, and just give me an answer before your wedding day arrives. Sister, don't blame me, this is a wealth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it is likely to be more valuable in the future. If Because half of a marriage is lost, I can't accept it."

In fact, if Cheng Yufeng really divorced Lin Shufang, then Lin Baicheng would definitely suppress Cheng Yufeng, and Cheng Yufeng would never want to have a career in Xiangjiang.But the world is so big, if Cheng Yufeng gets hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, Lin Baicheng has nothing to do with him if he goes abroad.

Therefore, in order to prevent this from happening, a prenuptial agreement must be signed.

Mother Lin immediately said: "Xiaofang, you can't blame your brother, he gave you such a generous dowry, and he asked Yufeng to sign the prenuptial agreement for your own good."

Father Lin also said: "Your mother is right, no matter how you decide, you can't blame your brother for this matter, you have to distinguish right from wrong."

"Dad, Mom, little brother, don't worry, I know my little brother is doing it for my own good, and I won't blame her."

Lin Shufang expressed her family's reassurance that she could tell whether the younger brother treated her well or badly. She could tell just by being willing to give her shares worth more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. How could she give her so much if she was not treated as her own sister.

Lin Shufang decided to think about it. She not only had to consider which one to choose, but also whether she should have a showdown with Cheng Yufeng. She knew about the prenuptial agreement.
