Blackstone Code

Until late at night, no one came back.

No one even called the family to inform them that the son of the major shareholder went to the yacht dock to look for him, but there was no news. He called the police——

Yachts are actually quite troublesome to maintain, at least for rich people. Rich people are not willing to spend a lot of time maintaining yachts, they are willing to spend money.

This is actually very federal.

The lower levels of the federation have the same attitude towards certain issues as the upper levels of society.

If the problem can be solved by spending a little money, they are willing to spend that money.

Those at the top of society are willing to spend money because they don’t want to waste time, while those at the bottom are willing to spend money because they don’t want to continue to suffer.

But whether it’s to continue wasting time elsewhere, or because they don’t want to continue to be exhausted by some small things after get off work, in short, as long as the price paid is within their psychological tolerance.

They are willing to spend some money, which is not much for them, to solve the problem.

On the contrary, the middle class has a very unique view on "life". In the Federation, real estate developers that provide services to the super rich and the poor will only provide ready-made houses.

From manors, villas, to single-family houses, and even apartments, real estate developers may solve all the renovations and allow these two types of people to move in directly.

But the middle class is different. They like to mess around and think this is one of the friendly ways to improve the quality of life!

They like to buy land and build a house by themselves. Although sometimes they just start the project and then pay people to hire people, in general they have a high sense of participation in the entire house building process.

For another example, if these people have a boat, they will put the boat on a tractor and then drive around with the tractor towing the boat when needed.

After using it, I will clean it again and even brush it carefully!

They seem to be full of passion and love for life, and they seem to be willing to try and do anything!

These are actually some of the more significant characteristics of the cultural differences between federal classes!

Rich people's yachts will be kept in yacht clubs or ship management companies in marinas. They not only have to pay a berth fee every month, but also need to pay management fees, cleaning fees and the like.

Spend some money and don't have to worry about anything. When you need it, you only need to make a phone call to drive a car or boat out to party. When you come back, you can leave with a slap on the butt. This is the attitude of the rich towards life.

Instead of having to clean the yacht every time you come back, that would be too...

Clubs and management companies often set up radio networks with these ships, and these yachts will also be registered before going to sea.

This kind of filing can be done or not, but most people are still willing to make the filing and turn on the radio at the same time.

After all, no one knows when someone will come looking for him because of something important.

But the son of the major shareholder went to the management company of the terminal, and they could not contact the major shareholder by radio.

At the same time, there is no record of the major shareholder's yacht returning, and it has never been seen again.

This created tension between the majority shareholder's son and the management company.

At the turn of spring and summer, heavy rains and storms are all likely to happen. If this happens, the yacht may not be able to survive!

The management company immediately notified the Coast Guard of possible situations, and then dispatched four speedboats to search and rescue near the yacht's intended location.

It lasted until dawn in the morning, but no traces related to the yacht were found.

After a night of search and rescue, the management company and the coast guard finally believed that the yacht had crashed and the probability of survival of the people on the yacht was very low!

As soon as the news came out, many people were shocked. There were twelve or thirteen rich people who died in this disaster!

Some people are even worth over 100 million!

This is definitely big news!

This morning's Bupen News has already pushed this news. It is suspected that a yacht carrying more than a dozen wealthy people capsized about thirty to forty nautical miles from the coastline.

Additional manpower has been deployed for exploration and search and rescue, but by 8:11 when the news was sent, there was still no good news.

This tone makes people realize that these people may really never come back.

What's interesting is that people only pay attention to the fortunes of the rich, but don't care at all about other people on the ship, the staff, and the models!

The son of the major shareholder barely slept all night. At this time, his emotions were in a very unstable and very contradictory state.

Logically speaking, he should be very sad now because his father is dead!

When he was only in his thirties, his father left him too quickly and left him no words. He should indeed be sad.

But this also means that he will inherit a considerable part of a large inheritance!

He no longer needs to sit in the company's office boringly for a month before he can get a salary from the accountant that is not much higher than that of ordinary employees.

He doesn't need to rack his brains to appear better than his other siblings in front of his father, he can be himself anytime, anywhere!

And with such a large amount of money...he has enough to squander it for a long time, even in his lifetime!

Of course, before that, he must find out as soon as possible whether his father left a will, and then negotiate the distribution issue with his family.

He will make some concessions when necessary. After all, hiring a lawyer to fight an inheritance lawsuit costs money!

The one million inheritance may only be left with seven or eight million after the lawsuit. As long as the brothers and sisters don't go too far, he is willing to make some concessions.

In the afternoon, amid the sadness and excitement of many families, lawyers from the Federal Reserve Bank found them.

"This is the subscription contract signed by your father. Please pay attention to the following terms..."

The lawyer pointed out the clauses in the contract related to the repurchase to the son of the major shareholder, "...if the holder unexpectedly dies or loses consciousness due to force majeure, and the bank needs to change the holder of the shares, Have the right to preferentially repurchase shares at the premium price in the repurchase terms..."

The death of a rich man is a force majeure event, so the bank has the right to directly repurchase his shares instead of letting his property heirs hold them.

This kind of clause is actually not uncommon and appears in some large economies.

The purpose of this is to prevent shares from entering the hands of uncontrollable people. The more economic entities like the Federal Reserve Bank, the more stringent they are on the identity requirements of stock holders.

The son of the major shareholder was a little confused, "Why do I have to sell my shares to you, what if I want to inherit these shares?"

When his father was still alive, he often told him how "smart" this investment was.

He also believes that holding shares in the Federal Reserve Bank is a good, long-term investment.

In addition, he hopes that he can be a person who waits to die and lives on various stock dividends every year. He is definitely not willing to give up these shares.

The lawyer smiled slightly. He had enough experience in dealing with such people.

"According to federal inheritance tax laws, the inheritance left by your father obviously needs to be paid according to the maximum amount. I'm not sure if you know anything about inheritance tax?"

The son of the major shareholder was silent for a while and shook his head, "I don't know much about this."

His father looked like he had another ten or twenty years to live. Who would pay attention to this matter at this time?

He doesn't understand that it's normal.

The lawyer was satisfied with his reaction, which made it even better to intimidate him.

“The inheritance tax currently implemented by the federal government refers to wealth whose total estate value exceeds 200,000 federal soles and is subject to inheritance tax.”

"Obviously, the wealth your father left behind meets the standards. At the same time, the maximum inheritance tax limit is 60%. As long as the inheritance exceeds 20 million, it will be fully taxed according to the maximum amount."

"Your father left behind about 200 million yuan of wealth, and you have to pay 135 million in taxes to legally inherit this inheritance."

"There is only about 70 million left for you."

The son of the major shareholder’s eyes almost popped out!

He couldn't accept taking away so much at once!

"This is impossible!"

He said, his voice a little loud.

The lawyer spread his hands and said, "You can ask your personal lawyer later. He will definitely be able to win your trust more than me. Don't rush to object now. Listen to my advice first."

"Can you come up with more than 100 million in cash now?"

The son of the major shareholder shook his head. Most of the family's property was basically in the hands of his father.

They also have their own property, but the total may only be 10 to 20 million, or 20 to 30 million, which is not enough to pay inheritance tax.

In the federal government, inheritance tax can only be paid before inheritance can be distributed.

"Look, you are not even qualified to inherit this inheritance!"

"Secondly, is your father's current wife your biological mother?"

This question may sound stupid, but for rich people, the wife of a rich person may not be the biological mother of the eldest son or daughter.

The son of the major shareholder shook his head again. His mother passed away for almost ten years, and now she is his stepmother.

The lawyer nodded again with satisfaction, "According to federal law, the inheritance is first inherited by your stepmother. She is the first heir, not you."

"Unless you can produce your father's will, in other words, if you decide to follow the process, you won't get a penny!"

The face of the son of the major shareholder suddenly turned ugly, "I...I'm not sure if he has written a will..."

He seemed to be convincing himself, but this was obviously impossible.

Just like him, he certainly wouldn't be able to write a will at his age, and he didn't think he would have such problems in a short time.

The same goes for his father. He didn't think he would pass away suddenly, so he never thought about making a will.

Coupled with the complicated situation of my wife and children at home, making a will too early is actually not a good thing!

But it was this decision that put the whole family into trouble!
