The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 173 [Golden Carriage]

In early June, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn were waiting for the Queen's parade float on the balcony of a London resident's home.Today is the day of the queen's coronation. The road below the balcony is crowded with people, and a large number of soldiers separate the parade passage in the middle.

Under the arrangement of Lin Zhichao's partner Willis, they rented this balcony with the best view, and the unit price is 1000 pounds, which can be called the most expensive ticket.

"People are really happy!" Lin Zhichao exclaimed.

He could tell that Londoners really supported the royal family.

Maybe this era also has a fan effect. After all, the queen is so beautiful and has fought in World War II, and there is no bad news.

Willis said with a smile on the side: "Indeed, everyone is looking forward to it. The young queen can bring new hope to this country. After World War II, Britain is still crumbling and sluggish. The new queen is precisely the war-weary Britain and the wider world. What the Commonwealth of Nations needs is a shot in the arm."

After finishing speaking, there was a glorified expression on his face.

Lin Zhichao didn't comment, he put his arms around Audrey Hepburn and said in a low voice: "You are also the queen in my heart!"

Audrey Hepburn turned around and said, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be laughed at!"

To be honest, Lin Zhichao is just coaxing women, he can't even marry Audrey Hepburn, after all, how can a star marry home!No matter how big the wrist is, isn't it still an actor!
Putting aside that kind of thinking, marrying a Hollywood actress back home, wouldn't it be something to be visited by people, exposed to the media, and Lin Zhichao's low-key personality is different.

Willis said from the side: "Miss Audrey's beauty is not inferior to Her Majesty's Queen. It's really lucky that Mr. Lin can catch you. Of course, Mr. Lin is the future world ship king, and Miss Audrey is really good." Talented and beautiful."

He didn't think flattery was disgusting, and he just bragged about Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn.Of course, Willis regards Lin Zhichao as the God of Wealth. Although there are fewer cooperations now, Lin Zhichao bought about [-] ships from him before, and he earned nearly a million dollars in commissions alone.

After a while, Hepburn pointed excitedly into the distance and said, "The golden carriage is the Queen's carriage!"

A carriage made of pure gold, pulled by six horses, surrounded by many guards or knights.

It really looks very stylish, only people who have reached Lin Zhichao's status will feel that - they will not enjoy it at all. Can a carriage made of gold be shockproof?And keep smiling all the time, will your face cramp?
After all, he doesn't like this cumbersome way of life, which is more of a responsibility.

The speed of the carriage was slow enough for the crowds on both sides to pay their respects, and the Queen waved to his people from time to time.Lin Zhichao has very good eyesight and can clearly see the beautiful queen sitting in the carriage. As for the man next to him, who would care about him?If that man were replaced by any European prince, as long as he didn't cause scandals, the effect would be the same - a vase.

"I really envy their love!" Audrey Hepburn turned her head and said deliberately.

Lin Zhichao said in a low voice: "There is no need to be envious. There is no cat in the world that does not steal, not to mention that under such a depressed situation, I don't believe that we will discuss this topic in the future. You must know that I am a prophet and philosopher. "

According to gossip, the prince has experienced more than 30 lovers, but to be more precise - he can only go shopping, but not buy, because he has no money and no ability to 'buy'.

Therefore, spiritual derailment is said to be more reliable.

Audrey Hepburn has been completely trapped by Lin Zhichao's PUA, so the two can discuss these things at this time.

"I believe in you!"

Audrey Hepburn suddenly said softly that she had already been PUA to Lin Zhichao, just like when Lin Zhichao told the script, she would star in it three years later; and the next Oscar Best Actress, she has already been PUA Consider it your own, even though none of the films are out yet (September).

"Of course, it's more about responsibility. Just like me, I also have responsibilities for you. My responsibility is to keep you beautiful and to be able to do what you want and where you want to go."

Audrey Hepburn immediately leaned against Lin Zhichao's arms, feeling full of security.

For Lin Zhichao, it was just like marrying a concubine. Audrey Hepburn is not the kind of person who commemorates the entertainment industry, and it is not a problem to retire bravely.Of course, Lin Zhichao also supports her to appear in a movie occasionally.

As for whether there will be scandals in the future, Lin Zhichao will not be worried. If he wants to be the world's shipping king, how can he not have scandals?

Onassis's female partner, hasn't been changing all the time, and even married Jacqueline Kennedy's widow.

Willis on the side was dumbfounded, what charm does this Chinese have, and he is so fascinated by a European nobleman.But he thought about it, Lin Zhichao is really a legendary Chinese, and in all aspects of conversation, he has the momentum of a superior.In the past, he could regard Lin Zhichao as a small ship owner, and his attitude was a little more arrogant, but now he only knows how to curry favor with Lin Zhichao.

The next day, Lin Zhichao flew to West Germany with Audrey Hepburn, arranged her in a hotel, and came to Bourne Machinery with his men for inspection.As the Hong Kong embargo is about to be lifted, Lin Zhichao has also begun to deploy the zipper industry, planning to compete with Japan's YKK zipper.

"Lin, I'm very glad to see you come to Bourne Machinery again!" Gauss greeted happily.

His development in the past few years has not been very smooth. The development of textile machinery has been slow, and the zipper machinery has also encountered many competitors. The largest customer is Changjiang Industry.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao seems to have become his hope.In the past few years, he thought that the Yangtze River Zipper would be dragged down by the embargo, but he did not expect that the Yangtze River Zipper has survived tenaciously, and its business is still growing steadily.

"Manager Gauss, I'm here this time, but I want to reach a closer cooperation with you."

"Oh, of course, that's a good thing!"

Gauss first happily agreed.

Later, Lin Zhichao came to Gauss's office, and the two began to talk formally.

Changjiang Industry has always had a team working with Bourne Machinery, so Lin Zhichao also knows Bourne Machinery very well.

So soon, Lin Zhichao got straight to the point: "Manager Gaos, I wonder if I can take a stake in Bourne Machinery to strengthen our cooperative relationship?"

Gauss was surprised, and then said: "Mr. Lin wants to buy Bourne Machinery?"

Lin Zhichao shook his head and said: "It is a shareholding, 51% of the shares is fine, and you still manage and act as a legal person. And I can tell you that with the development of the world economy, the demand for zippers is increasing day by day, so I think Bourne Machinery It is definitely better than the current development prospect to produce all kinds of machinery specially for us. Moreover, we need other machinery in Yangtze River Industry, and Bourne Machinery can develop and produce them together.”

Gauss pondered for a long time before he said, "What mechanical needs will you have for Changjiang Industry in the future?"

Lin Zhichao said: "First of all, the demand for the zipper industry is very strong, which is not smaller than your current business; secondly, we can also produce various machinery such as injection molding machines, wig making equipment, toy equipment, etc., not only for sale to Changjiang Industry, but also for Other factories in Hong Kong are for sale."

Gao Si said: "That is to say, Bourne Machinery has become a vassal of Changjiang Industry."

Lin Zhichao thought for a while and said: "That's right. But as far as I know, Bourne Machinery's benefits are not very good. I can give you a good price. And I guarantee that Bourne Machinery will develop better than it is now. .”

Profitable, he bought Bourne Machinery, but he hoped that Goss would work for him, and of course he kept Goss's 49% equity.He didn't want to control the Bourne machinery, but just wanted to save the cost of the machinery, and to carry out research and development and investment in the machinery needed by the Yangtze River Industry.

Gao Si still had concerns, but he also understood that since Lin Zhichao came to discuss cooperation, he might have a plan to replace Bourne Machinery; losing this big customer by then would make Bourne Machinery even more difficult.And if it takes 51% of the shares, Bourne Machinery has a lot of funds to expand its scale, which seems to be a good thing.

"I prefer five-five cooperation rather than becoming a vassal. Moreover, half of the shares will be financed and half will be exchanged for the shares of Yangtze River Zipper." Gao Si thought of a plan that would benefit him.

He has always been keen on the zipper business, but unfortunately he is not good at zipper production, and he is very optimistic about Lin Zhichao.

Of course, Lin Zhichao could not agree to this plan, but he still said in a compromise: "Yangtze River Zipper cannot sell shares to you, but considering that Yangtze River Zipper needs to avoid European trade fortresses in the future, so if we build factories in Europe in a few years, we can choose to cooperate with you. There is no problem with the joint investment in the zipper business, and the five-fifth equity distribution."

With the popularity of zippers, zippers will no longer fight for price, but will fight for quality.It is also inevitable to build a factory in Europe, because it can avoid trade risks. Of course, the factory does not need to invest too much.

Gauss thought about it again, and gave Lin Zhichao an answer, that is, he could accept his capital as a shareholder and accept the five-five cooperation plan.

Lin Zhichao did not insist on 51%, after all, Gauss was also worried that he would annex Bourne Machinery.

After reaching an agreement, of course, the next step is to hand over to the subordinates and lawyers.

However, Lin Zhichao still had the idea of ​​cooperating, so he said, "Manager Gao, do you know that adult doll during World War II?"

Gauss was taken aback, and said, "I've only heard about it, but I don't know the specifics. Why is Mr. Lin asking this? Do you still want to produce adult dolls?"

Lin Zhichao explained with a smile, and then said: "I want to cooperate with you to invest in a toy company, which has a redesigned 'Bill Lily' doll, which can be sold in bars, hotels and other places, and can also be sold in stores."

Gao Si was very interested in Lin Zhichao's ideas. He felt that this doll would definitely be popular in Europe, so the two planned to discuss cooperation in detail.

"Mr. Lin, can you produce such hard plastic dolls?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "We can realize everything from the general image to the production technology and craftsmanship. It's just that I think that if such a doll wants to sell well in Europe, of course we have to choose a local partner, so I Thinking of you."

The implication is that if you don't need a local partner, you can eat alone.

Gao Si said with a smile: "Indeed, if the doll wants to sell well in Europe, it must at least have channels, marketing and other plans. You and I can solve such troubles by cooperating."

He also said that he is not a display.

But in any case, this time Lin Zhichao is only willing to give up 49% of the shares, and both parties will contribute according to the shareholding ratio.

Goss thought, this kind of cooperation is not bad, he doesn't need to think about production, he only needs to participate in the redesign and marketing of this doll.What's more, he felt that Lin Zhichao was good at doing business, and the cooperation between the two would definitely achieve good results.

"Okay, I am willing to cooperate with you!"

If he doesn't want to, Lin Zhichao can only find other people. He still has acquaintances in Europe.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Goss, Lin Zhichao did not stay in Germany for too long, and left everything to his subordinates.At present, the Changjiang Industrial Group has begun to take shape, and the management of the group has also been established, including the price of Bourne Machinery, which needs to be discussed in detail slowly.As for the cooperation with the "Bi'er Doll" company, the cooperation is also carried out in the name of Changjiang Toy Factory, not in the name of a private person.

Once the stake in Bourne Machinery is completed, Changjiang Zipper will order 50 sets of various automatic rice arranging machines and other machines, and of course it will take two years to deliver; at the same time, non-metallic zippers must also be arranged for small-scale production, and we must pay attention to this aspect of investment .

Today's Yangtze River Zipper has an annual profit of more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars.It is expected that starting next year, the Yangtze River Zipper will enter a period of rapid development.

The capital needed to become a shareholder of Bourne Machinery is estimated to be in the millions of dollars, so Changjiang Zipper needs a huge loan of 500 million Hong Kong dollars to cope with the next development investment, and it originally has more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars in its account.

The larger the investment, the greater the return, and of course the greater the risk.

In the hotel in London, Lin Zhichao hugged Audrey Hepburn in a princess dress, and a faint fragrance came from his nose.

"Honey, I took another play, I hope you don't mind. It's not my fault, it's you who refused to let me get pregnant!" Audrey Hepburn said cautiously.

Seeing her expression, Lin Zhichao was deeply shocked. His PUA is so powerful that he can make an independent actress pay so much attention to his own ideas.

""Dragon and Phoenix Match"?"

It was Audrey Hepburn's turn to be shocked, and she said incredulously: "How do you know? Could it be that you are really my lover from the previous life, who came back with memories, then why did you marry a wife first?"

Lin Zhichao hooked her nose and said, "Didn't you say that you like the comedy "Dragon and Phoenix" written by Samuel Taylor the most. So, I guessed."

Audrey Hepburn laughed immediately, she didn't expect Lin Zhichao to remember it so clearly, it seemed that this man remembered everything she said clearly.I don't know if it's because of his excellent memory or because he cares about himself very much.

"Then do you care?"

Lin Zhichao said frankly: "I don't mind! And I won't mind your thoughts in the future, but"

Audrey Hepburn immediately asked: "But what?" She thought to herself, as long as this man gave her a child, then she could reduce the shooting, unless she was particularly interested in the movie, she would accept it.

Lin Zhichao said seriously: "Maybe you will become a millionaire next year or the year after, so in the future when you make movies, just invest yourself."

"Barbie?" Audrey asked.

She has always been very concerned about the Barbie doll that Lin Zhichao said, she thinks it is a gift from Lin Zhichao, although the two have not established a partnership company yet.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Yes, I am confident that Barbie dolls will conquer the hearts of the world. By then, you may be a millionaire, let alone a millionaire."

Audrey Hepburn approached immediately, raised her head and said, "Don't conquer the hearts of people all over the world, just conquer mine, honey, love me!"

After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Lin Zhichao.

And Lin Zhichao also discovered recently that his interest in Audrey Hepburn is getting higher and higher, which seems to be the brilliance brought by the star; he didn't think it was so powerful before, but now when he thinks of the princess in "Roman Holiday", he thinks Audrey Hepburn has something. A special aura.

This can also understand why many celebrities can marry into wealthy families, of course they are talking about future generations.
