The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

Global Tower.

Lin Ruihai came to Lin Zhichao's office and said: "Dad"

When there is no one around, the sons also call him "Dad" in the company. When there is someone around, they call him "Dad" by the company's position, such as chairman or general manager.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then looked at himself, the eldest son of the second wife, who had the shadow of his elder brother Lin Ruihuan, but also had a little pride in his character, which was specifically reflected in his behavior and a little bit of 'arrogance'.

Of course, this is not said to be a shortcoming, it can only be said to be a small flaw.

There is also an advantage. He regards Lin Zhichao as his idol and his eldest brother as a 'competitor', so he has high demands on himself; even when it comes to marriage, he is not willing to lag behind his eldest brother and find a girl that both his parents like. , got married in May this year. The girl is from a wealthy family in Hong Kong, has studied abroad experience and a bachelor's degree, and is a perfect standard daughter-in-law.

Lin Ruihai is currently the most highly educated person in the Lin family. He obtained a master's degree from the University of Cambridge in England when he was 22 years old. After returning to work for two years, he was appointed president and executive director of Asia Shipping, and also served as a management member of Universal Group.

In fact, he was promoted faster than his eldest brother!

This also means that Lin Zhichao has to invest more energy and entrust more veterans to watch and teach this kid.

"Asian Shipping's fleet has expanded to 2.3 million tons. What do you think we should do next?" Lin Zhichao asked.

Lin Ruihai knew that his father was testing him, and he immediately became concerned. He longed for his father's approval. Therefore, he began to think a lot in his mind - Global Shipping and World Shipping have not built new large ships in batches for many years and have only made some small investments; however, Asia Shipping has been building ships and raised hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars when the stock market was at its peak. as shipbuilding funds.

After some analysis, Lin Ruihai said: "I think that since Global Shipping and World Shipping have stopped shipbuilding, but Asia Shipping is a listed company after all, it can consider increasing the total tonnage to 3 million tons. With the help of Global Group's platform, long-term leasing is not It’s difficult. I know my father is worried about shipping risks and decline, but there are no obvious signs yet, so we can use the stock market to raise funds and order three or four more VLCC tankers one after another.”

At present, Global Shipping and World Shipping have a total load capacity of 18 million tons. Huaxing Container has 18 container ships (listed companies, accounting for 65% of the shares), and Asia Shipping has a load capacity of 2.3 million tons (listed companies, most oil tankers, A small number of bulk carriers), Longfeng International's 1 million tons deadweight (oil tankers), and some small joint venture shipping companies (one third of the shares) are not included.

In fact, Lin Zhichao still controls a fleet of more than 23 million tons, and his status as the world's shipping king remains very sufficient.

Bao Yugang only had three to four million tons, Dong Haoyun only had seven or eight million tons, and Zhao Congyan only had one or two million tons. Of course, they are still expanding, and Lin Zhichao has not launched a batch of ships for five years. During this period, only some scattered ships were launched to replace the scrapped ships.

Hearing Lin Ruihai's words, Lin Zhichao did not comment. After all, he was not a time traveler. How could he have the same thoughts as Lin Zhichao? To be honest, it was not unknown to Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun and others. Lin Zhichao had not ordered ships in bulk for a long time, but everyone Everyone has their own opinions.

The world's merchant ships are around 450 million tons. Even if the return rate is only 15%, a large number of people are willing to invest.

"Just follow your ideas!" Lin Zhichao said directly.

Since it was his son's idea and he could afford it, he followed Lin Ruihai's advice. The debt ratio of Asia Shipping was not high, and by 1979, Lin Zhichao also intervened in the sale of ships.

Shipping started to have problems in 1978, but it started to really go downhill in 1980, and it was not until 1985 that the ice age came. There is a process in between. Even if you sell a boat in 1980, it will not be sold at a cabbage price. After all, there were still people who built ships in 1980, such as Dong Yunhao and Zhao Congyan in their previous lives.

Lin Ruihai nodded happily!

Later, Lin Zhichao said: "I recently plan to secretly buy Wharf Group's stocks. You will join this team later!"

Lin Ruihai was immediately shocked, looked at his father, and said cautiously: "Dad, are you going to let Universal Group take over Wharf Group in a hostile manner?"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "What kind of hostile takeover, you kid can't speak! It was Land that took the lead in the hostile takeover of the milk company. And if we acquire the Wharf Group, it will be called 'Chinese capital versus British capital'. In short, it will be deeper." For now, don’t worry about the level. First, study seriously with me. You are smart, but a little arrogant, and you have no long-term grassroots experience. I hope you can settle down well. "

Lin Ruihai was stunned for a moment, then blushed. He didn't dare to refute his father, so he said, "I listen to my father!"

Seeing that the matter had been opened, Lin Zhichao said earnestly: "You have been obedient since you were a child, and you also have the idea of ​​​​competing with your elder brother. I understand your idea. This is a friendly and fair competition. But the problem I just mentioned, I hope You have to pay attention, swallow your arrogance and be calmer. You are the eldest son among the second family, and you will be Ruicheng's brother in the future, especially since Universal Group has no plans to separate the family. Think carefully about what you should do!"

Lin Ruihai lowered his head, listened to Lin Zhichao's words, and said sincerely: "I understand!"

There is also the problem of Xu Caiying. She is happy all day long, but her son's psychological counseling is not as careful as Tang Caiyun's.

Of course, Lin Ruihai's problem is not big, it can even be said to be not a problem, it's just that Lin Zhichao is strict.

Fortunately, these children listened to him and regarded Lin Zhichao as their idol and respected him in their hearts. Otherwise, it would have been easy for them to become filial.

Regarding the secret purchase of Wharf, Lin Zhichao planned to use Global Shipping, a non-listed company, to acquire 20% of the equity in one year before the showdown.

However, we can't make a big move recently, because the Wharf Group's stocks are not diversified enough at present, and the total share capital is only 85 million shares, so the range this year must be small, and we can start to increase our efforts next year.

It won’t be exposed until at least next October.

Over the weekend, Lin Zhichao and his three wives were on vacation on a super yacht, and Audrey Hepburn also came from the United States to reunite.

Although the three wives are all in their forties, they are actually young women in their thirties, and they are still very beautiful and attractive. The three of them boldly wore bikinis today and rested on the chairs on the deck. They looked very charming.

At most, only female bodyguards and maids are active on the deck, so there is no need to worry about exposure. Of course, Lin Zhichao did not enjoy the behavior on the deck. After all, he could still control himself.

Lin Zhichao admired the three wives, but love still occupied the main part in his eyes. This method of preservation was really strange. In addition to the fact that we don't get tired of being together all the time, Lin Zhichao thinks that occasionally picking wild flowers and then going back to pick home flowers is also a way to preserve freshness.

Of course, he doesn't pick wild flowers much now. After all, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui are also considered "family flowers", the second echelon of Lin Zhichao.

He just likes to layer up his armor, which is safer.

He also found that Lin Qingxia and Xu Caiying were somewhat similar, extremely beautiful and heroic; Guan Jiahui should be somewhat similar to Tang Caiyun in the future, a charming and beautiful woman; then the future Li Jiaxin would of course be similar to Audrey Hepburn, both There are Western elements. As for Zhao Yazhi, it seems that he has no position.

In this way, Lin Zhichao went around in circles, as if he was looking for 'replicas' of his three wives. Of course, everyone still has their own characteristics, but there are some psychological analogies.

Lin Zhichao came to Tang Caiyun's chair, then hugged her and lay down together. It's not surprising that Xu Caiying and Audrey Hepburn were on both sides. After all, Tang Caiyun was the eldest son, and occasionally Lin Zhichao would intentionally take care of the eldest son.

Tang Caiyun is 47 years old this year. If you look closely, she looks like she is in her early thirties. She has a plump figure and fair skin, giving her a very healthy and beautiful look. With a classic, gentle face, she has a perfect husband-like appearance.

Without her, the Lin family might be in a different situation. At least the family would not be so harmonious, and it would definitely affect Lin Zhichao's career.

Tang Caiyun lay comfortably in Lin Zhichao's arms!

"Wanzhu graduates from college next year, what are your plans?"

The eldest daughter, Lin Wanzhu, was born to Xu Caiying and was the sixth eldest child in the family.

Xu Caiying on the side said quickly: "Sister, I am Wanzhu's biological mother!"

Tang Caiyun smiled and said, "Oh, I forgot about this. I thought I was her biological mother!"

Xu Caiying responded: "Huizhu has been kissing me since she was a child. I always thought the little princess was my biological daughter!"

Audrey Hepburn on the side was already very proficient in Chinese and knew some profound aspects of Chinese, so she immediately joined in: "It seems that the two little princesses are seeing me more now, and they are very close to me!"

Lin Wanzhu and Lin Huizhu both studied at universities in California. They went to California to study after graduating from high school (former seventh), with Audrey Hepburn as their guardian in the United States. Audrey Hepburn had always regretted not having a daughter, so she liked Wanzhu and Huizhu very much and often went shopping together.

Everyone laughed, everyone was very satisfied with their current life, home and everything was going well.

Lin Zhichao waited for everyone to be quiet before saying: "I asked her opinion. She wants to join Uniqlo and work in the clothing industry. Since she is interested, I will train her well and maybe she can help me in the future."

The women know that their men have not talked about taking over these years, but have said that they will "help them". They also know that their men are in really good health. He is obviously 48 years old, but compared to those in their twenties and thirties. Young people are still strong.

Tang Caiyun said: "It's good! My daughter is also my own child. It's a good thing to be able to help the family."

Lin Zhichao said at this time: "As for the inheritance of the children, I will communicate with you today. These enterprises will definitely be passed on to them in the future, but in the form of a 'father and son trust fund'. For example, Changshi Group plans to pass it on to Rui Huan, then I may set up a trust fund five years after he takes up the position of general manager and incorporate the shares of Changshi Group into this trust fund. The beneficiaries of this trust fund are Caiyun, Rui Huan, me, and And Rui Huan’s children.”

It is equivalent to Lin Zhichao just handing over the business to the son who wants to inherit it. At that time, each son will be equivalent to a 'branch family', and his descendants will rely on this 'trust fund' to run the inherited business. As for Lin Zhichao The established family will be passed down forever with the family office and family trust as the link.

In fact, the same is true for ancient families such as the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family.

Tang Caiyun said: "Husband, we all know your body, actually..."

Lin Zhichao interrupted with a smile: "I have worked for so many years, so naturally I want to relax. And under this model, I have completed the corporate inheritance, but in fact I will still serve as chairman and give them advice at critical moments, especially It's a major decision, and only I can make it right. I don't want them to expand their business, I just want them to keep the country I've built."

The three daughters were relieved that this model was impeccable. Their children also received the inheritance rights of the company, and their husbands could always retain the highest decision-making power.

"Can a daughter inherit the company?" Tang Caiyun asked tentatively.

Although she is a woman, she is still relatively traditional at heart.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "If you have the ability, you can inherit part of the equity, but you will not inherit all the shares in my hands. For example, I own 70% of Uniqlo, and I can give them one-third at most, and the remaining two-thirds. It will be given to the third generation of the Lin family in the future."

Although the daughter is better than the younger sister, after all, her descendants are called grandchildren, so how can they be passed down!

Tang Caiyun immediately said: "Well, you are in such good health that you can raise the third generation to adulthood. I have no objection to this!"

Xu Caiying said: "I have no objection. As long as I don't treat my daughter badly, she should be satisfied if she has shares and her father is willing to train her."

Audrey Hepburn was speechless and rarely retorted: "If I had a daughter, I would let her compete fairly with my son!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Don't come here, you Europeans and Americans also give priority to boys, and in some aspects they are more traditional."

Audrey Hepburn was speechless. It was true. Only when there was no son, or the son could not hold up the wall, would European and American entrepreneurs consider daughters. I can only say that it is relatively enlightened, but not absolutely.

"Actually, I can still give birth!" She said softly.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "No! If I give birth to a son, I have to worry about raising him again. I don't want to do this!"

All three women are definitely still able to have children. After all, their body functions are only in their early thirties, but he will never want them again. In order to raise these nine children, he has been "protecting himself" for decades, not daring to pick wild flowers.

Tang Caiyun said: "Then my husband doesn't intend to give other women a chance!"

In an instant, the three women began to pay attention to this topic.

They all know that Lin Zhichao has raised one or two in recent years!

Lin Zhichao did not back down this time and said: "A woman is already pregnant with (Zhao Yazhi), and I plan to have it too!"

The three women fell silent immediately.

Lin Zhichao continued: "What I can promise you is that all existing companies will give it to our children, and I will not give a cent to others; other than that, my relationship with you will not change. But you also know that I With a body like a superman, I have been thinking about trying to get younger in the past few years. It is inevitable that they will be accompanied by two or three lovers. However, the wealth they gained is from me instructing them to speculate in real estate and stocks. In the future, the children will also be free from the family. Other than that. After talking so much, if you get angry with me again, I won’t be so easy to talk to!” In the end, it was a vague threat.

Tang Caiyun quickly squeezed into Lin Zhichao's arms, and then said softly: "When did we lose our temper? It's just that you have never thought about letting other women conceive children before, and you can't react now."

Xu Caiying and Audrey Hepburn had already gotten off the recliner, squatting on both sides, looking at Lin Zhichao with flattering eyes.

This status is definitely much better than Mr. Shen in a TV series!

Lin Zhichao said: "Anyway, just don't make trouble. I am absolutely measured in my actions! Moreover, you must help me establish a positive image in front of the children in the future. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

Lin Zhichao became satisfied. Looking at the three beautiful bodies in bikinis, he stood up immediately and said, "Let's go to the room to discuss whether our relationship is deep enough."

The three women immediately surrounded Lin Zhichao and headed to the bedroom.

"Husband, you were so scary just now!" Xu Caiying took the opportunity to act coquettishly.

"I'm not scaring you, but I'm using my family privileges!"

"Um"
