Chapter 383: Why Are You Here?
"Win-win! Yes, I love it!"
Lin Zitan wiped his hands with a napkin and shook hands with Eric, who was slightly awkward opposite, he really didn't expect that one day the two of them would carry out charity together.
"I heard that your low-rent apartment is about to be completed, how about it, do you have any ideas for further real estate investment?"
Eric lowered his hand and continued to fight with the salad on his plate.
"Not for the time being, and I don't have that much capital, by the way, you don't seem to tell your father that I do real estate, right?"
Lin Zitan then remembered the question that he had just pressed in his heart.
"He didn't like me to get involved in real estate investment, so I didn't tell him about what you did in real estate, so he didn't have to think too much. Eric explained lightly.
"But he made 200 million at once, do you think he won't do a thorough investigation of me?"
Lin Zitan couldn't help but remind.
"Do you think he really has so much time to investigate me and my friend? Don't worry, even if he does, he doesn't necessarily have time to look closely. Eric said disapprovingly.
------------------------
The two of them went home after brunch, and when they got home, Emma hadn't come back yet, so Lin Zitan hurriedly took advantage of the fact that the child hadn't come back yet, and ran to the swimming pool of the fitness center to swim several laps before coming back.
When he got home to pick up the baby, Emma suddenly opened the door and walked in.
"Honey is back!Why, do you look unhappy?Frank is bullying you again?"
Lin Zitan was elated when he saw Emma going, but when he came back, he seemed to have something on his mind, so he couldn't help but come forward and hugged her and asked.
"Uh...... I don't know what to say to you. ”
Emma turned around and hugged Lin Zitan's waist and said sullenly.
"If you want to say it, just say it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, now I'm going to pick up the kids from school, do you want to go with you?"
Lin Zitan originally picked her up by himself, but looking at Emma's current state, he didn't worry about leaving her at home.
"Okay, they will be very happy to see me pick me up today~hehehe~"
Emma thought of her pair of treasures, immediately changed her mood and said happily.
When the children saw Lin Zitan and Emma coming to pick them up, they were really happy and stretched out their hands into the arms of their parents.
That day, Lin Zitan went to the study and was busy until midnight, and when he returned to the bedroom, Emma was already asleep, so the reason for her unhappiness, Lin Zitan couldn't ask clearly.
----------------------
When Eric joined his charitable foundation, he not only brought in a large donation, but also quickly demonstrated his network strength and ability to integrate various resources.
Soon after Eric's father's funds arrived, Lin Zitan bought a defunct medical center in Lower Manhattan and renovated it to serve as the first depression clinic sponsored by their charitable foundation.
When they signed a contract with the landlord, they found out that the property was also owned by Eric's father's family, so they unexpectedly got 20 years of free use.
Of course, Eric, as the second largest director of the charitable foundation, also has certain investment expectations, and after several discussions, the two finally chose several preliminary investment plans proposed by the investment company.
Adhering to the principle that you can't put your eggs in one basket, in addition to stocks, they have also invested in funds and some AI technology companies, as well as several film, television and animation production companies.
In addition, due to the increasing focus on daily health care, the demand for those health supplements is becoming more and more intense, so they have also invested a lot in the health care industry.
After the sale of the two supermarkets, the revenue of the remaining two supermarkets has not been affected, but has opened up new markets in online sales.
The low-cost apartments in cooperation with Eddy are nearing completion, and ZF authorities have screened eligible applicants for low-cost apartments so that they can move into their new homes once completed.
The commercial building next to it can also be delivered in the winter of 2019 at the latest, and the initial plan is to use the top two floors as a hotel, the lower three floors as a shopping mall, and the basement floor together with the vacant land outside the mall, which will be turned into a paid parking lot, which will be rented to low-rent apartment residents at a low price.
Lin Zitan injected the money from the sale of Amanda's property and apartment into the foundation in stages, so that he did enjoy some tax deductions.
Lin Zitan took stock of the stocks in his hand, and there were more than 400,000 shares that must die, and the price had risen to about $160 in October 2018.
Guge's stock has already broken through $1,100 at the end of October, and Amazon is the craziest, breaking through $2,000 at the beginning of October, then falling back slightly to $1,623.91 by the end of the month.
In early October 2018, with the launch of three new Apple mobile phones, Apple's stock opened from $199.13 in early August, slowly broke through $200, and reached a high of $230 in early November.
Unfortunately, with the decline in the sales performance of high-priced mobile phones such as XR and XS, Apple's stock has also slowly fallen from the second week of early October.
Lin Zitan hesitated for a while, and it was not until October 24 that he donated all 900,000 shares in his hand to their charitable foundation at a high price of $223.62.
There is little difference between donating stocks and donating cash in the United States, and if you donate cash, Lin Zitan must pay at least 15% capital gains tax.
If you donate the shares directly to the foundation, you only need to pay 15% of the principal amount of the shares, and no matter how much the value increases, you will not be taxed until you sell them.
This is probably one of the main reasons why the boss who has to die donates all the stocks to his foundation, and unlike it, Lin Zitan's foundation does not designate his own children as the ultimate beneficiaries!
........................
As time goes on, it's time of year to celebrate the holidays again!
This year's Christmas was spent at Johnson Sr.'s house, and Lin Zi delayed them to leave the New Year's Day time to Li Manrui's side.
After meeting Frank's girlfriend last time, Emma had struggled with whether to tell Lin who her future cousin was.
But then, for some reason, she forgot about it again and again, until the two of them arrived at the door of old Johnson's house with the child, and Emma suddenly remembered that she had never spoken.
"Daniel, something suddenly occurred to me!"
"What's the matter?" Lin Zitan asked with his son in one hand and Emma in the other, turning his head to her and smiling.
"That~ There may be an unexpected thing later, don't be too surprised, that's ......"
"Ding Dong~" Before Emma could finish speaking, the electric glass door had already opened.
"What do you want to say?" Lin Zi said in surprise.
"Let's see it yourself!"
"Huh?" Lin Zitan was still waiting for Emma's answer, when he saw that the people in the living room had already greeted him warmly.
So he hurriedly smiled and said Merry Christmas to a room of people, but was immediately stunned after sweeping Frank and the woman next to him.
"Yijun, why are you here?" said Lin Zitan, incredulously wide.
"Hey!Be nice Bro~She's my girlfriend now~" Frank hurriedly walked up to protect Zhuang Yijun.
