Chapter 341: Pry Open the Trust
Everywhere you go, you can hear people commenting on Paul Getty Sr., and the overall reviews are negative.
Although the old man was not easy to deal with when he was alive, he seemed to be a cold-blooded businessman, but Han Chudong felt that most of these gossips also hid some envy, jealousy and hatred. In terms of ability and luck, he was not as good as the old man, and his achievements were not so high, so he had to take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks, as if this would smooth out the psychological imbalance.
Han Chudong also encountered a similar thing, he didn't care, thinking that the old man who was already lying in the coffin should be even more indifferent.
Looking back at the kidnapping case of Paul Getty III Jr., in fact, the old man's approach was not wrong, everyone was concerned about how stingy the richest man was at the time, but not many people knew the cause and effect.
In fact, the old Getty did not have deep feelings for this grandson, mainly because Getty III's mother did not fight for steamed buns, and regardless of her son's wishes, she categorically brought her son, who was studying next to the richest man in the world, back to his distant hometown and lived a life of extreme poverty.
Thinking only about her own thoughts, ignoring her son's feelings and future, her son fell from the top of wealth to extreme poverty, and his life was very chaotic, until she was kidnapped and found the old Getty who was a grandfather, accusing him of not wanting to give money to ransom her son.
For a grandson who hasn't been in touch for a long time and doesn't have much affection, can you expect the old Getty with many children and grandchildren to pay more attention?
What's more, it's not that the old man hasn't done anything, neither the media nor the audience cares about that.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this scripture in the Getty family is nothing more than more complicated......
Outside the church.
Han Chudong ate exquisite pastries and chatted with other guests from time to time.
When it was ready, the coffin was carried to the pit for burial, and just like ordinary people, the famous oil tycoon was buried in the ground, surrounded by tombstones, each of which represented a person's life, perhaps not as dazzling as Paul Getty, but after a long time in the ground, it was the same.
Han Chudong attended a funeral for the first time since arriving in this era, and when the earth gradually buried the coffin, Getty's third son, Gordon Getty, gave a brief speech, people left.
Han Chudong personally invited Nixon, the current Secretary of Health and Human Services, and several businessmen to come to the brand-new golf course in Beverly Hills Heights to play golf.
It is inconvenient to say much about the specific process, but it can only be said that the annual salary of 400,000 US dollars is quite sincere, and this sixty-three-year-old man who took the initiative to resign can also play a relatively big role in Han Chudong's business, mainly to help dredge up the relationship in Washington.
For a super-rich man, this is the most reasonable thing to do, and it is still for the sake of profit.
......
It's not over here.
Paul Getty's third son, Gordon Getty, took the initiative to find Han Chudong that night, and the meeting place was in the box of the two-Michelin-starred restaurant called Spago.
Featuring Californian cuisine, the restaurant is favored by many celebrities and is known as one of the iconic restaurants in Los Angeles, with celebrities such as Elizabeth Taylor, who comes for dinner almost once a month to have dinner with friends.
Speaking of the reason why Han Chudong bought the Spago restaurant, it can be regarded as a coincidence, after coming here to eat a few times, the boss said that he was sick, and took the initiative to give a good offer, and asked him if he was willing to take over, so he spent a little money to buy it, and was about to try to see if he could rate the star star to three stars, and it was specially renovated and renovated for the past few months, and even the waiters wore Dior's clothes and shoes, which were of a very high grade.
The oversized California broken ditch lobster, paired with the delicious clam soup, Han Chudong thought that the other party was coming for those artworks, or wanted to partner with him to do business, but his mind was not on food at this time.
He took a sip of white wine and asked, "Mr. Getty just had a funeral today, and to be honest, I was a little surprised when I received your invitation, and I don't know what the reason for meeting me was?"
"Before I say my request, I want to show you my father's will, I have studied with the lawyer for a long time in the afternoon, and I believe that my brothers and sisters are too, if you can find someone to pry open the trust fund left by my father, you are the best person, as long as you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you a very generous return. ”
Gordon Getty stared at Han Chudong and said seriously, his mind was obviously not on the food in front of him, he was completely carried away by the old Getty's will, otherwise he would not have just finished the funeral, so he hurriedly ran to ask for help.
Han Chudong was a little surprised, he didn't know more about the will that had not yet surfaced than others, only that the old Getty donated it to the museum under his name, and only left a meagre $500 for the children.
Looking at Gordon Getty's cognitive appearance, he vaguely realized that it was not like that, so he didn't say anything, and first browsed the will in his hand.
While eating, the will is very thick, and the rules are very detailed, and it is not until all the tail meat of the lobster is eaten that almost a quarter of it is seen.
After losing patience, Han Chudong raised his head and asked, "You tell me your thoughts first, what do you need me to do?" I have to ask a lawyer to help me take a look at this will, can I agree to your request before I talk about it." ”
I just met Gordon Getty today, so I can't talk about familiarity, so of course there is no need to be too polite.
If it was profitable, Han Chudong might have been more patient, but he didn't even know what kind of benefits he could get, let alone what he should look for in this will.
Gordon Getty continued: "So, according to this will, I became Sarah Brown. C. The trustee of the Getty Trust will be in charge of the trust created in my grandmother's name, which owns 40 percent of the Getty Oil's shares and income rights, but I have no interest in the Getty Trust and want to sell it in the near future. If you're willing to lend me a sum of money and let me dismiss Sara A. C. Getty Trust, and after paying the estate tax, I will give you a good return. ”
The specific management content of each family trust is different, Han Chudong still hasn't figured it all out, and at this moment he wants to remind him that the news of the sale of the oil company should not be told to him, it is the most important news, but at this moment his attention is mainly focused on the so-called "rich returns".
Interested continued to ask: "Even if you can really get the money smoothly, the money will not all belong to you, as far as I know, Mr. Getty Sr. has other children, that is, your brothers and sisters, and grandchildren......
