The meal was really lively, not only did two very uneducated little girls interrupt the conversation of the adults from time to time, but also the ferret Ike, who naturally liked to use his teeth to solve problems. It ran to a nearby table of guests, lay on a woman's feet, and almost scared people out of a heart attack, and then ran to the piano, intending to test the material of the piano with its teeth. Fortunately it was found by the service staff, otherwise this 1920 Steinway? I'm afraid the grand piano will have one leg missing. It is said that this piano was still Porter's favorite back then, and the table where Hong Tao sat was usually not open to the public, it was Marilyn Monroe's special seat back then, to say that there are really a lot of good things in this hotel, and the oil paintings hanging in the restaurant and corridor are also genuine.

At 10 p.m., Hong Tao refused the invitation of the Richards family and did not go with them to the banquet hall for any charity gala, and he even ignored Bill's repeated muttering at him. If you want to be embarrassed, let him accompany him to lose it, his reputation is already stinky, and if he is such a family, those reporters will have a better chance of disgusting themselves. And he has a very legitimate reason, no one can stop him, go home and put his son to sleep!

Two days later, Hong Tao realized that he had been deceived, and that he had been deceived by the smiling Bill. He didn't come to New York to talk to him about any bullshit agreement at all, it was all his ecstasy. The real purpose of his coming to New York is to attend the windows95 conference held at the Times Square Hotel on the 24th, which is his real purpose. Of course. Bill would not admit his little trick, and specially sent an invitation to Hong Tao. Invite him and his wife to attend.

"Participate in your grandmother's legs! Lao Tzu has a son who needs to be coaxed, and he can't go!" Hong Tao threw the invitation directly down the window. He hates others to deceive himself the most, especially to play himself as a monkey, no matter who it is! Especially in the past two days, he has been a little proud in his heart, you see, the richest man in the world has flown over from the West Coast to negotiate with him, and he has a very accomplished feeling, and he has just been beautiful for two days, and he has been deceived by others, do you think this can not be angry? Of course. I don't think so when I play someone else.

"This is not appropriate! You take Shanshan to the park opposite all day long, and when others inquire a little, they will know that you are using your son as an excuse, and you can't offend him because of this little thing. Ah Shan stood on the balcony, craned her neck to see where the invitation had gone, and wanted to pick it up for Hong Tao, so that he would not be petty and the overall situation would be important.

"Hey, hey, hey...... He snatched $100 million from me, and he expected me to applaud him? Can he bite me to death? Let's go on vacation to the hut on Fire Island, and we won't let him see it. To put it bluntly, Hong Tao still didn't dare to wrestle with Bill, but he was unwilling to be forced to spend money by others. can only put on a show in front of Ah Shan, and in the end he has to hide.

But he didn't cheapen Bill either, when he returned from his vacation home on Fire Island with Ah Shan and his son. I plunged headlong into the suite on the 33rd floor of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel and ordered whatever I wanted. I also entertained a lot of guests in the restaurant, and all the expenses were all bookkeeping. Plus the two suites on the 30th floor downstairs. In more than half a month, he helped Bill spend almost $400,000. And that's not all, he plans to stay until he leaves New York, without paying a penny, because the three rooms are all booked in Bill's name, and the bills will eventually be sent to his accountant, and he can't do it without paying for it!

During this time, Hong Tao basically accompanied Ah Shan and his son, and Rada, Carol and Lily only sometimes had a meal together. They also all understand who Ah Shan is, they can hide if they can, and none of them dare to make do with Hong Tao. Fortunately, Hong Tao is more humane, he didn't leave the three of them alone, no one is there, but the money is in place. The three of them took Hong Tao's credit card all day long, wandering around various high-end shopping malls and clubs in New York, not to mention spending money like water, but also crazy shopping. This is probably the first time they have enjoyed the life of a rich man, that is, they don't have to worry about the price when they buy most things, and they can be regarded as achieving financial freedom.

In addition to spending time with Ah Shan and his son, Hong Tao is actually not idle, he often has a meeting with some mysterious people in the hotel room, on the one hand, to plan Yahoo's listing plan in the general direction, and on the other hand, to improve his own plan in private. Among the mysterious people were familiar faces like Joseph, Nina, Caroline, and men and women who dressed as if they were going to a funeral on a hot day, and the only people who could dress like this were federal government workers, except for lawyers and accountants. This is a person who just smiles and doesn't speak when he sees anyone, so Ah Shan has to avoid it at this time, as for what Hong Tao is busy with with these lawyers, she never asks, it's best not to ask about the gods.

So what is Hong Tao busy with these lawyers? There is only one thing, and that is about the execution of his will. The terms that were originally formulated now need to be fine-tuned, because his assets have grown too fast, and when he made the will, his total assets were only a few hundred million, but now they have multiplied several times all at once, and the quantitative change has brought about a qualitative change, and how to deal with these billions worth of stocks is a big problem.

When there were hundreds of millions of assets, these lawyers were so desperate to help Hong Tao solve problems, and now that the owner is rich again, these lawyers are even more motivated, and they can't wait to move the entire firm to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Whether it is a Canadian law firm, a law firm in the western United States, or a local New York, as long as they have worked hard and done things for Hong Tao before, they all rush to New York to wait for the call of their old club. Those who came were all the main force, and those who were not qualified enough and had insufficient strength all stayed at home to deal with other cases, although serving this uncle was rewarding, but he really couldn't do it without a little skill, and he often put forward some whimsical ideas to test the nerves of the lawyers.

This time, Hong Tao has a moth again, he wants to buy N TV stations, the requirements are very simple, located on the West Coast, preferably private TV stations near Los Angeles and San Francisco, the business content cannot be repeated too much, news and entertainment programs are the mainstay. The final total acquisition price is less than $200 million, and the acquisition of these small private broadcasters will be combined into a new station. The task of these lawyers is to find a suitable target, investigate its detailed background, evaluate its assets by the joint accounting firm, and finally hand over the selected target to Joseph for review.

The acquisition of a TV station is a very normal business practice, although it is said that it is a little unrelated to Hong Tao's main business, but it is not too strange a thing, why is it a moth? Because this acquirer is too strange, it is actually a branch of a non-profit organization called the "Majority Foundation" in Toronto, and the investor is F&A Company, one of the minority shareholders of Crystal Orchid Capital, whose president is named Nina, a Canadian, and also the head of this Toronto branch.

Why is it useful for a feminist organization to buy a television station? Hong Tao didn't answer this question, and the lawyers didn't ask either, they could only give a thumbs up in secret! This proprietor, Tai Nima, is cunning, and he actually has such a deep collusion with a feminist organization, and this kind of small trick is even better for outsiders, but they can't deceive these lawyers, they do this.

The acquisition was clearly instigated by Hong Tao, who is using Guò Crystal Orchid Capital, a large money-absorber, as a center, and then connecting all his own industries to this venture capital company. In this way, his funds can come and go back and forth between these industries, whether it is a private stock exchange or a capital injection on the surface, which is not clear to outsiders anyway.

Because these industries are all private companies, the financial situation is not very transparent, and after such a toss back and forth in them, even Hong Tao himself can't figure it out for a while, and only by comparing the accounts of all industries can he know the final context. But except for Hong Tao, no one can see all of these accounts, even Tan Jing and Ah Shan, and they can only see a small part of them related to their company.

In addition to being opaque about the source of funding, Hong Tao has managed to avoid the public eye. Most people and institutions will be blocked by the majority Foundation standing in front, and it will be difficult to see the figure hidden behind. Generally speaking, no one will investigate this kind of mad dog-like non-profit organization for no reason, they belong to the type of person who has nothing to do and still find trouble, more ferocious than reporters, once they bite it, it is a sass. And this kind of organization doesn't have too many news topics that the people are interested in to dig into, who wants to do such a thankless job.

The question is, are most of the foundations willing to be this shield for Hong Tao? Yes, they are very willing! Just after Hong Tao proposed this proposal to Nina, the Caroline lady hurriedly went to New York with two directors of the foundation to meet with Hong Tao. Soon, a consensus was reached on how to fund the purchase, how to operate and manage, and how to operate the TV station in the later stage. It was finally decided that Crystal Orchid Capital and F&A, and the Toronto chapter of the Majority Foundation would come forward to make the acquisition. The Majority Foundation, F&A, and Crystal Orchid Capital will form a board of directors to jointly manage the acquired TV stations. (To be continued......)
