Chapter 846 Family Trust (2nd Update)
Ben Thanh, Sheraton
"Gui Fang, this way, this side is the elevator. β
"Oh, third sister-in-law, are you here too? Peng Peng's high school entrance examination is good, and I also said that I will go to see it in a few days." β
"Guofu, have you seen my sister-in-law? Oh, it's about the clothing store, the financial Xiao Li sent over is too disagreeable, I have to talk to my sister-in-law. β
"Tingting is so tall, big girl, let my uncle take a look... β
"Tsk, if you want to say that your fate is good, you still have to say Jingyi, people follow the eldest brother to open a store, you see, it's only been a year or two... β
"Lei Lei should take the college entrance examination next year, I also said, Lei Lei graduated from university, let him follow his brother, fight the tiger and kiss his brother, isn't it. β
"Sister, brother-in-law hasn't come yet? Which of you called Chenchen? Is he coming today? Le Leke said that he was looking for his eldest brother. β

The banquet was originally expected to start at six o'clock in the evening, but before five o'clock, the relatives of the Su and Zhang families rushed to the Sheraton, and the thirty-odd people in the banquet hall of more than 100 square meters did not seem crowded, just sat together in various small circles according to the distance of relatives, chatting in twos and threes, but everyone would almost glance at the door from time to time.
Zhang Guoqiang's family has not yet arrived.
Almost all of the relatives who came were immediate relatives of the two families who had not taken three suits, although the relationship was far and near, almost everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts.
The eldest brother and sister-in-law (sister and brother-in-law) are really amazing.
One of them is now the CEO of a large chemical group company and has come into contact with leading figures in the city; the other has opened seven or eight hot pot restaurants and opened branches in Beijing and Xijing, and both of them are now big bosses.
As for the sons of the two sons, their own nephews (nephewsγγγγγγ
It's beyond the general public's understandingγγγγγγ
The relatives of the Su and Zhang families are not bad, and there are not so many people who tend to be inflammatory. But there are characters like Zhang Chen in the two families, and it is normal for people to want one person to ascend to heaven.
In this way, there are more relatives of Tuosu Wenjin and Zhang Guoqiangγγγγγ
Some are for their children to go to school, some also want to open a store to get sponsorship, some want the two to find a job in the company, and there are more things that friends ask their friends, to name a few.
As long as one person in a family is developed, the family members will automatically move closer to the family, and the family will naturally become the center of the whole family.
Family members who come close naturally hope to get at least some help to make their family life better, get more opportunities, and improve their social class.
Maupassant's "My Uncle Hule" satirizes this phenomenon very poignantly, but in fact, Zhang Chen has no objection to it, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, with blood as a bond, relatives themselves are closer than strangers, and it is natural to want to get some help.
In all fairness, Zhang Chen may not perform better than others if he changes places.
"What did you say the big brother they organized this party for? It can't just be a meal, right?"
"I don't know, didn't the phone say that there was something to discuss with everyone? I don't know what it is. β
"I'll go downstairs and take a look, it's almost five o'clock, and I guess they're almost there. β
"It's coming!"
While many relatives were talking to each other, Zhang Chen's family walked in from outside the door.
"Good brother, good sister-in-law!"
"Sister and brother-in-law, oh, Chenchen is also here, it's really getting more and more handsome, Mingyu is also studying computers, and he always looks at Chenchen in front of me. β
"Auntie, you're getting more and more beautiful. β
"Third uncle, third aunt, hurry up and sit down, it's all a family, you're welcome. β
Zhang Chen greeted each relative with a smile, Zhang Guoqiang and Su Wenjin also exchanged a few words of greeting with everyone, and after a few minutes of chaos back and forth, everyone sat down.
Wine is good wine, food is good food, but except for ignorant children, everyone knows that eating and drinking is not today's theme, even if you chew the crispy suckling pig in your mouth, it tastes the same as chewing wax.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Chen's third uncle Zhang Guomin couldn't bear it and took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Big brother, you called everyone over today, and formed such a big game, it won't just be dinner, right?"
Zhang Guoqiang has been smiling all the time, he has changed too much compared with two years ago, and he has not only had more momentum on his body, but he is also much more sophisticated.
As the head of the family, Zhang Guoqiang certainly wanted to say something.
"Everyone. Zhang Guoqiang stood up from the main seat and held a wine glass, "Everyone sitting here today is my own family, and I don't need to be polite." Everyone knows that Zhang Chen has made some small achievements abroad in the past two years, and our family, frankly speaking, is better than before. β
"We are all a family, and now that we are living well, of course, we also hope to help our families improve their living conditions within the scope of our ability. After all, when everyone is in trouble, Zhang Chen had discussed with the two of us before whether to help everyone in some way. β
When everyone heard this, regardless of their relatives near and far, they were a little excited in their hearts, but they were not too embarrassed to show it.
"We have considered many ways, including the fact that we have provided interest-free loans to some of our relatives to help them open their stores, but these alone always feel that something is missing and it is not systematic. To put it bluntly, we are prone to complain about who we help and who we don't help, obviously we just want to do something beneficial to everyone, but it may not end well. Therefore, we discussed with Zhang Chen that we still had to come up with a charter. β
Zhang Guoqiang paused, "This set of things was made by Zhang Chen, let him talk to everyone." Zhang Guoqiang laughed at himself, "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and I don't know too much about these things that young people are doing, but his plan still sounds quite reasonable, you can refer to it in detail." β
Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Chen, and Zhang Chen stood up with a smile: "Elders, just like my father, I won't say kind words." I invite you to come over today, just to tell you that my parents and I will jointly take out 10% of Little Sheep's shares and 20 million in cash to set up a family trust fund. All of our immediate family members, all of you here, are beneficiaries of this family trust. β
Trust funds?
Almost everyone is staring at each other, what is this thing?
Ten percent and twenty million of Little Sheep's shares, is this to be distributed to everyone in vain?
There are only 30 people sitting here, and on average, each family can get close to one million and a small part of the equity of Little Sheep?
That's too generous, isn't it?
The hotel waiter handed Zhang Chen a microphone, and then sent a stack of printed papers to everyone separately, Zhang Chen held the microphone and continued: "The document you got in your hands is the specific plan of this trust fund. This document may be a little more technical, I will explain it roughly. β
"The so-called trust fund, in layman's terms, is that my parents and I inject the part of the assets that we have just promised into a company, which will manage and invest in it. And the majority of the company's profits from using these assets will be used to help every family in our family. β
"The annual profit of the trust fund is expected to be about 12%, half of which will be used to expand the scale of the fund cumulatively, while the remaining 6%, conservatively estimated in the first year of the fund's operation, can reach 2 million yuan. β
"How should I spend these two million dollars?"
