The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 268 [Timely Enjoyment]

Since mid-January, Lin Zhichao has been preparing an "investment fund" in New York, and prepares to use it as a flagship for investing in US stocks.The initial capital is 2000 million U.S. dollars (1.2 million Hong Kong dollars), and the investment stocks include Texas Instruments, Coca-Cola, and Disney.

In an office in Manhattan, Lin Zhichao sat in his office, enjoying the atmosphere of 'Wall Street'.

"Boss, Mr. Chris is here!"

"Please come in"

The first to come in was a Chinese accountant named Zhang Zhaonan, who had been working in the United States after finishing his university studies.Zhang Zhaonan is a native of Taiwan and used to work in the American sales department of the Yangtze River Industry Group.

Now that he has been transferred to a new company, Zhang Zhaonan feels like he has been promoted, so he is very happy recently and takes things very seriously.

After a while, Zhang Zhaonan walked in with a white American, who was the Wall Street financial talent that Rich had introduced to Lin Zhichao.The elite is probably not counted, just a financial talent with several years of working experience on Wall Street.

"Chris, please sit down!"

After everyone sat down together, including Zhang Zhaonan also sat on the sofa.

Chris took the initiative to hand over a resume to Lin Zhichao.

"Worked in a securities company at the University of Chicago for three years."

After looking at it for a while, Lin Zhichao said, "Is there anything you want to know about us?"

Chris dresses meticulously and is a very energetic person. He is 30 years old and full of vigor.

Just looking at his face, Lin Zhichao thought it was very good!

"I heard that this is an overseas private investment company, can you tell me the specific nature?" Chris asked.

He was introduced by Rich, the president of Audrey Toy Company, but he didn't know much about the new company's specific situation.I just know that it is a private investment company, and the boss is still Chinese.

He wasn't an elite Wall Street player with a solid track record, so naturally he'd be more than happy to do the job if the salary was higher.

Lin Zhichao said: "I own an industrial group in Hong Kong, and last year's profit was more than 1500 million U.S. dollars, so I plan to use most of the company's liquidity to invest in American stocks. Moreover, I have already selected the stocks. Yes, and it is a long-term value investment. Therefore, your job is very simple, that is, to carry out my orders."

Chris said: "Doesn't it mean that my job is very easy!"

Lin Zhichao leaned back on the sofa, raised Erlang's legs, and said relaxedly: "In this world, making money depends on brains. Wall Street is a place that relies on 'robbery' to make a fortune."

Chris saw that Lin Zhichao was full of confidence, and he was a little strange. Does a Chinese shipper and industrialist know a lot about Wall Street stock market?
Soon he was overwhelmed by Lin Zhichao's self-confidence and said, "I am willing to join Mr. Lin's investment company!"

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "It's a smart choice, then you should arrange to come to work as soon as possible!"

Chris left the office building full of joy. After all, the capital is tens of millions of dollars. Although he did not directly operate it, it also shows that the strength of this investment company is very large.

The normal salary has also increased by more than 20% than before. The boss promised that if the income is good that year, he will give everyone a bonus.

On the whole, Chris felt that he valued the identity of this Chinese boss more. It is said that he is a big shipowner like Onassis, and even a big factory owner; such a rich boss is simply an opportunity for him.

Ten days later, the Lin family gathered at their villa in Long Island, New York, to prepare for the Spring Festival.

This is a villa located by the sea in Long Island, with an area of ​​1.5 square feet, a large lawn and a marina, and six bedrooms.The price is only 28 US dollars, which is surprisingly cheap.

Of course, the most indispensable thing in the United States is luxury villas, so the price will not be too high.Maybe you call it a 'luxury villa', others may just be able to afford it for the middle class.

"Today is the "New Year's Eve" of our Chinese, which is the last day of the year. Of course, the year here refers to the Chinese calendar. Our Chinese is a civilization with a history of 5000 years. Although now in order to integrate into the world, we also use the world calendar. , but in our Chinese minds, whether it is "holidays", "birthdays", etc., we are used to the Chinese New Year. Tonight is also called "New Year's Eve". The meaning of night, also known as New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve, etc., is the last night at the end of the year. After tonight, we will usher in the Chinese New Year tomorrow, and our Chinese zodiac is ranked first Year of the Rat."

In the morning, Lin Zhichao used the time of breakfast to tell all the children about the traditional culture, and the children listened very engrossed.

After listening to it, Lin Ruidong, a mixed-race son who was less than six years old, raised his hand and asked, "Why are mice so annoying, and why do they become the first of the zodiac signs?"

Lin Zhichao said: "In our Chinese mythology: Xuanyuan Huangdi wanted to choose twelve animals to serve as palace guards. The rest of the animals were originally headed by pushing the cow, but the mouse jumped on the back of the cow, so the mouse ranked first. There are twelve hours, the affiliation relationship between the twelve earthly branches and beasts, rats are active at night, so they are sub-rats."

A profound traditional culture class was vividly told in Lin Zhichao's dictation.Combined with fairy tales, children listen with gusto.

After breakfast, Lin Zhichao led everyone to write Spring Festival couplets, hang lanterns and other activities. Anyway, it is his own villa and will not affect the neighbors.

The arrangements for this Spring Festival are very meaningful. I spent New Year’s Eve and the first day of the new year in a villa on Long Island, and the second day of the second day went to live in a duplex apartment next to Central Park in Manhattan, and went shopping and shopping in New York.

Around the fifth day, everyone left New York in batches.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, which was also Monday, Lin Zhichao came to his office in Manhattan.

After nearly a month of preparation, the investment fund of the Yangtze River Industries Group has finally been established, with external law firms and accounting firms as consultants and a team of five.

In the conference room, Lin Zhichao sat at the main seat and officially announced: "Our initial capital is 2000 million US dollars, which is already in the account of Citibank (Citigroup), which means that we can enter the market at any time."

Everyone was surprised, the fund size of 2000 million US dollars is not small, and it is still a private fund.

As the team leader, Chris said, "Excuse me, BOSS, which stocks should I buy?"

Others are a little curious, can't you decide which stocks to buy?
Lin Zhichao said: "The ratio of Texas Instruments, Disney, and Coca-Cola is 3:1:1 respectively. Considering that the stock market was in a correction at the beginning of the year, I suggest buying gradually within a month to spread the cost."

Chris nodded and said, "No problem!"

Lin Zhichao made another arrangement: "After buying these stocks, we only need to enjoy their dividends and do not need to trade. I suggest that you usually pay more attention to the stock market and analyze it. If you have the opportunity to give me feedback on this information. I will consider it later. Dividends or additional funds will be used for your team’s operations. But my funds are for long-term value investment, so they will not be moved.”

Hearing that there will be funds to operate, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, which means that after finishing this work, there is no need to worry about unemployment.

After the meeting, Lin Zhichao, Chris and others went to the New York Stock Exchange, and saw that the buildings here were so tall that even Hong Kong of later generations would lose its color here, because these buildings are not only tall, but also large in scale.

In contrast, buildings in Hong Kong generally have a small floor area on each floor because of the constraints of land scarcity.

On the top of the gate of the New York Stock Exchange is a group of reliefs with gods engaged in industry, agriculture and trade, representing all aspects of the economic field.

After a brief visit, Lin Zhichao was no longer interested.He was not good at stock trading, but now he is investing in long-term value, so it is not considered stock trading.

That night, Lin Zhichao returned to his duplex apartment in Central Park, Manhattan.

"Mom, Xin'er, Ruihuan, and Ruijiang have all boarded the plane successfully!"

This morning, the first wave of members of the Lin family began to return to Hong Kong.

Tang Caiyun nodded and said, "It's going well, and I expect to arrive in Hong Kong the day after tomorrow! After sending them on the plane, we visited New York again. I should bring Rui Hai, Rui Kai, and Wanzhu back to Hong Kong tomorrow."

The seven children were brought back in three waves, and Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong alone.

Audrey Hepburn also immediately said: "Tomorrow I will take Ruidong and Ruinan, and I will also go to Los Angeles!"

Everyone's faces are a little bit sad, this Spring Festival is very meaningful, especially the elements of "Lin's family" that Lin Zhichao likes are fully reflected.

Seeing everyone's performance, Lin Zhichao also felt the importance of family reunions, especially to allow children to fully feel the unity of the big family.

So, he said: "In the future, every winter and summer vacation, we will organize family gatherings, mainly in Hong Kong, and we can go skiing in Switzerland in the future. Normally, Audrey can also come to Hong Kong at any time."

Everyone readily agreed.
