Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 639 Agreement and Choice (Two in One)

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

Over in London, Weili 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.

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

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

If Lin Baicheng made a public acquisition of the telephone company at this time, it would be entirely possible for Lin Baicheng to increase his shareholding to 40% or more before all parties reacted. However, in order to have a greater probability of success, he did not make a public acquisition immediately and planned to wait.

Let's see if we can acquire some more shares before going public.

This week, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has mainly fluctuated and fallen. The stock price has fluctuated within a narrow range between HK$100 and HK$105, and its total market value has fallen below HK$50 billion.

The trend of international gold prices has already fallen below 650 US dollars per ounce yesterday. I just don’t know 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 US$100 million. Although this profit is not very high compared to Hutchison Whampoa's current market value, it is definitely a good thing, and at least it can make Hutchison Whampoa's current stock price

It rebounded, but Lin Baicheng did not let anyone announce this good news.

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

Currently, there are long oil futures orders. Lin Baicheng’s own funds are operated by Galaxy Bank, with 200 million US dollars using ten times leverage. In addition, at the Golden Fleece Company, Vivien Kelly still has some long oil futures orders.

Didn't flatten out.

Vivien Kelly has already reported to Lin Baicheng, saying that when the oil price rises above 30 US dollars per barrel, shipments will begin. Lin Baicheng agreed. Lin Baicheng also asked Yuan Tianfan to let Galaxy Bank exceed the oil price per barrel.

After 30 US dollars, I started to make profits and leave.

Lin Baicheng vaguely remembered that the oil price could reach close to 40 US dollars per barrel this time, but again, it is better not to make 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 huge profit this time by going long in oil futures, at least several billion dollars in profit.

Whether it is the profit of long gold futures or the profit of long oil futures, Lin Baicheng already has a general idea about the use of funds. Anyway, he will not let all the funds be placed in the bank to earn interest. Currency depreciation caused by inflation will always exist.

Yes, money placed in the bank cannot escape inflation.

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

As soon as he returned home, Lin Baicheng saw Father Lin, Mother Lin, and sister Lin Shufang, who didn't know what they were talking about.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Lin Baicheng found that Lin Shufang's mood seemed a little excited.

Mother Lin waved to Lin Baicheng: "Son, come here, Mom has something to tell you."

"Dad, Mom, what's going on?"

Lin Baicheng walked over in confusion when he saw this.

Mother Lin said: "Son, I want to ask you something. Did you ask Yufeng to sign a prenuptial agreement?"

"Um?!"

Hearing this, Lin Baicheng couldn't help frowning and looked at Lin Shufang, thinking that it was Lin Shufang who came back to tell her parents. "Sister, how do you know about this? I asked Qin Lan to go to Yufeng alone to sign the agreement. It was Qin Lan who handled the matter.

Not strong enough, or did Yu Feng tell you?"

No matter what the situation is, Lin Baicheng is very dissatisfied. If Qin Lan is not doing things well, it means there is a problem with Qin Lan's ability. Qin Lan is the director of the Xiangjiang Secretariat. This position cannot be held by someone who is not doing things well.

And if Cheng Yufeng told Lin Shufang, it means that Cheng Yufeng was dissatisfied with the signing of the prenuptial agreement, but because of his power, he reluctantly signed the agreement, and then turned around and told Lin Shufang about it. Obviously, he wanted Lin Shufang to know.

He came forward with the intention of making 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? How will Yufeng think of me if you do this? Will he think that we look down on him?"

"You discovered it yourself? What a coincidence."

Lin Baicheng snorted. He was not guilty, but a little angry. He didn't believe there was such a coincidence in the world. Just two days after signing the prenuptial agreement, Lin Shufang accidentally discovered that Cheng Yufeng had failed to keep it.

Instead of believing this, he believed that Cheng Yufeng deliberately let Lin Shufang discover this document.

Naturally, the prenuptial agreement signed by Cheng Yufeng was in duplicate, and he also kept one copy. Furthermore, he has only signed the prenuptial agreement, but the dowry given by Lin Baicheng has not yet been signed. It looks like Cheng Yufeng

Feng and Lin Shufang didn't get a penny after getting married.

Lin Baicheng had reason to suspect that Cheng Yufeng felt that he would not get a penny, so he resorted to tricks to make Lin Shufang come forward to oppose the prenuptial agreement. Although Lin Shufang had been trained for a year or two, she was just an ordinary person before.

How to be Cheng Yufeng's opponent.

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

Lin's father advised: "Son, I don't think you should sign the prenuptial agreement. It looks like you think they will divorce in the future, and it makes it seem like Yu Feng married your sister for money. This is not good.

.”

Mother Lin also said: "Yes, if you don't do this, Yufeng will feel uncomfortable. If Yufeng's parents find out, will they be nice to your sister? How will you live in the future?"

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

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

With a net worth of at least hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the future, no matter which girl Lin Baicheng marries, he will sign a prenuptial agreement with her. He will not test human nature. As long as he divorces her, he will get half of his net worth, and he can do whatever he wants in the future.

So, how could he dare to bet that the person next to him would always love him and not divorce him.

When the temptation is too great, anything can happen.

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

Lin Shufang knew that the property would be divided equally after the couple divorced. Her younger brother Lin Baicheng had a net worth of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, so it was necessary to sign a prenuptial agreement. But she was different. She only had 1% of the shares of Galaxy Games. Although it was also worth a lot of money, 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 you, sister and Yufeng, to sign."

Lin Baicheng did not try to persuade Lin Shufang. As he spoke, he took out the two share transfer contracts in his briefcase. "This is the dowry I prepared for my sister. 1% of Galaxy Games shares and 1% of Hutchison Whampoa shares are for you, sister."

Yes, the 1 million Hutchison Whampoa shares are for Yufeng. Even if you get divorced in the future, these shares will belong to Yufeng and are not included in the prenuptial agreement."

Lin Shufang took the two documents and browsed them briefly, and found that it was indeed what Lin Baicheng said.

Lin Baicheng said to Father Lin and Mother Lin at this time: "Dad, Mom, the dowry I gave to my sister is worth more than 800 million Hong Kong dollars. My total net worth is about 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars. The share given to Yu Feng is worth one

With over 100 million Hong Kong dollars, he can convert it into cash at any time."

"You gave so much?!"

Father Lin and Mother Lin's attention was immediately diverted. Whether it was more than one billion Hong Kong dollars or more than one hundred million Hong Kong dollars, it was an astronomical figure that was unimaginable to them in the past. Even now they know that their son has two to three tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

A net worth of over one billion Hong Kong dollars is still a large sum.

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

After looking at her daughter, Mother Lin still said that she still preferred her son. After all, the married daughter would throw away the water.

Lin's father also nodded in agreement. He said to Lin Shufang: "Fang, your brother gave you too much. Don't blame your parents for being partial. Your brother makes all the money in our family. It's not easy for him to make money."

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

"Dad, Mom, I know."

Although she disagreed with her father's last words, "It's not easy to make money," Lin Shufang also knew what her parents meant. She also knew that the dowry given by her brother this time was too generous, worth almost one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it was worth more than many wealthy families.

Want more wealth.

"Dad, Mom, this is the dowry I gave to my sister. It is my heartfelt gift."

After Lin Baicheng was reborn, he received the memories and emotions of his predecessor. Therefore, despite his total net worth of about 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, he was willing to give up a dowry of about 1 billion Hong Kong dollars and did not think of giving less.

"However, this is what I gave to my sister. I know that my sister and Yu Feng are in love now, and I also hope that they will love each other forever, but I want to be on guard, so these can only be in your name, sister, in case your relationship doesn't go away one day.

I'm divorced, and I don't want to see half of this wealth divided by him."

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

After hearing Lin Baicheng's explanation, Mother Lin immediately sided with her son. She felt that her son's words were very reasonable, and she really needed to be on guard. This was a fortune of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and half of it was about 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

"My relationship with Yu Feng is very good, and we will not divorce."

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

Father Lin said aloud: "To be honest, there is nothing wrong with what your brother did. But it is really not good and it is really embarrassing."

If you choose to sign a prenuptial agreement, it may affect the relationship between Cheng Yufeng and Lin Shufang; if you choose not to sign the agreement, this is a net worth of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars, and half of it will be divided after divorce. Just thinking about this possibility makes you sad

It makes people feel distressed.

In this case, it is naturally difficult to make a choice.

Lin Baicheng said to Lin Shufang at this time: "Sister, I will give you and Yu Feng two choices, please listen to it."

"you say."

"The first option is to sign a prenuptial agreement. I will give you sister 1% of the shares of Galaxy Games and Hutchison Whampoa, and I will give Cheng Yufeng 500,000 shares of Hutchison Whampoa stock. Yes, there are only 500,000 shares left.

I decided to give less."

"The second option is not to sign a prenuptial agreement. The dowry this time is not included in the purchased items. Our Lin family only gives a cash red envelope of HK$8.88 million. As for the shares, I will set up a fund and give 1% of the money I gave

Galaxy Games shares, 5.4 million Hutchison Whampoa shares, and the 1% of Galaxy Games shares you originally owned are placed in this fund. You cannot use these shares. You can only use the company's cash dividends."

"When you have children and the children grow up, you will decide who to allocate the shares to. I will not interfere."

"In other words, if you choose the second option, you and Cheng Yufeng will not get those shares. They belong to your children."

Lin Baicheng explained the solution he had just thought of. He was just worried that Cheng Yufeng and Lin Shufang would divide their property after their divorce. But if they had children and the children were adults, then he wouldn't have to worry.

"The second option is pretty good."

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

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

Lin Shufang did not make a decision immediately. She not only had to consider herself, but also Cheng Yufeng. After all, the first choice Cheng Yufeng could get more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks, but the second choice only got less than 10 million.

There is a huge difference in Hong Kong dollars.

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

Upon seeing this, Lin Baicheng said to Lin Shufang: "You can discuss it with Yufeng and give me an answer before your wedding. Sister, don't blame me. This is a fortune of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars. It will probably be worth more in the future. If

Because I cannot accept half of a marriage."

In fact, if Cheng Yufeng really divorces Lin Shufang, Lin Baicheng will definitely suppress Cheng Yufeng. Cheng Yufeng will not even think about having a career in Hong Kong. But the world is so big, if Cheng Yufeng gets hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, he will go abroad.

Once he ran away, there was nothing Lin Baicheng could do against him.

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. He asked Yufeng to sign a prenuptial agreement for your own good."

Father Lin also said: "Your mother is right. No matter how you decide, your brother cannot be blamed for this matter. You have to distinguish right from wrong."

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

Lin Shufang reassured her family that she could tell whether her younger brother was good or bad to her. She could tell just by his willingness to give her shares worth more than a billion Hong Kong dollars. How could he give her so much if he didn't regard her as a biological sister.

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