Chapter 972 - Giving and Soliciting Bribes

readx;

Father Lin and Mother Lin were also very interested in Tan Na's idea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The two people, who were originally worried that it would be very expensive to buy such a ranch, immediately became Tan Na's staunch supporters after knowing that Australia is vast and sparsely populated, land is very cheap, and pastures are even cheaper, and strongly asked their son to go to Australia to buy a ranch to raise sheep and cattle - the area must not be less than 2,000 acres.

As for why it is 2,000 acres, it is because of the original rural hometown, the cultivated land of the entire village is about 2,000 acres, and in the eyes of Lin Baoguo and Yang Xiuyu, 2,000 acres of land is a big piece.

Well, 2,000 acres is 2,000 acres, as long as the family is happy, everything is worth it. Lin Zheng has no opinion on this, now that an agreement has been reached within the family, the rest of the matter is simple: the whole family will organize a group to go to Australia for inspection!

Buy an oversized sheepfold to herd the sheep!

……………………

Lin Zheng brought the news of his family's trip to Australia. Chandler was a little crying and laughing, but after a short cry and laughter, Collin. Chandler immediately took action, and he understood the meaning of Lin Zheng's signal. Chandler said hello to the board and took his family to Australia on vacation – even though it's winter in the southern hemisphere right now, I like to go on holiday in the Australian winter, do you have any comments?

There is also a branch in Australia, but in order to keep it secret, Lin Zheng did not inform ICQ Australia that the family was light and simple, and no one was alarmed to appear in Colin. Chandler's ranch door, to be exact. It's Colin. Chandler at the doorstep of his holiday villa on the ranch.

"This place is so big, it's like the prairie of Inner Mongolia." Looking at the pastures covered with yellow grass in front of you. Comrade Lin Baoguo was very emotional...... As a civil servant, it is not easy for Comrade Lao Lin to go abroad once.

Compared with Lin Baoguo, who was extremely emotional. Yang Xiuyu is more concerned about whether this vast ranch is really the smiling red-nosed Englishman in front of him: how much does such a large ranch cost?

Colin. Chandler's children have already married and have their own careers, this time he came to Australia, he brought his wife, and said to Yang Xiuyu with a smile: "That's right, this ranch is mine, it is my family property, covering an area of 783 acres, did you see that piece of barbed wire when you came?" ”

Of course she saw the barbed wire. It stretched out across the vast prairie to the end of her sight, but she was not very accustomed to the size of the acre, and asked Mrs. Chandler, "Madam, how many acres is 783?" ”

For Europeans and Americans, who have never been good at mathematics, it is simply an impossible task to calculate how many acres 783 acres is without the assistance of equipment, and Mrs. Chandler is embarrassed.

However, Tan Na quickly calculated the result: "Mom, 783 acres and 317 hectares are about 4,753 acres when converted into our city acres." ”

4753 acres? This number made Yang Xiuyu's eyes widen: "So many? ”

"It's not much." Mrs. Chandler waved her hand modestly: "We can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized ranch, and many of the pastures here are more than 1,500 acres in size, and those ranches are really large ranches. ”

Yang Xiuyu, who has not even digested 4,500 acres of the city, heard that those pastures with an area of nearly 10,000 acres are considered large ranches. My head was dizzy for a while: This is the landlord, this is the real landlord.

"Listen to my husband, tell me that you are interested in ranching?" Mrs. Chandler is clearly Colin. A virtuous helper of Chandler. took Yang Xiuyu's hand and walked into the living room: "You can ask me any questions you are interested in, and I will be happy to help you." ”

Had lunch. After a few hours of rest, Colin. Chandler proposes to go to his horse farm and pick up a few horses. Everyone jogged in the ranch.

Although it is winter in Australia now, it is not very cold, and horseback riding is also a good sport. Chandler even keeps horses here?

"Of course, I love horseback riding," Colin said. Chandler was obviously quite proud of his hobby, and said to Lin Zheng proudly: "The British like horses, although I don't have any expensive horses here, but it's still good to relax." ”

Lin Zheng agreed with a smile.

After half an hour of riding, Colin. Chandler invited Lin Zheng and Tan Na to the smoking room to take a break and have some snacks by the way. The so-called smoking room can not be understood literally, this smoking room can be understood as a place of rest and relaxation, not only can you smoke here, but also taste desserts and the like, in addition to the smoking room also assumes the function of the host communication, everyone is eating snacks and drinking coffee, naturally more relaxed, naturally easier to get closer to the relationship and deepen the relationship.

……………………

"Mr. Lin is interested in Cosworth?" Put down the coffee cup, Colin. Chandler asked Lin Zheng.

It's not tactful at all, but it can't be helped, foreigners are so direct.

Lin Zheng nodded: "To be precise, I am interested in Cosworth. ”

Colin. Chandler's brow furrowed.

He understood what Lin Zheng meant, Lin Zheng was interested in Cosworth as the owner of the Minardi team, and now Lin Zheng is interested in Cosworth as a private person, and the difference is too big. Immediately said bluntly to Lin Zheng: "Mr. Lin, you know, it is difficult for me to convince those old stubborns on the board of directors. ”

"That's why we meet today, isn't it?" Lin Zheng is not for Colin. Chandler's words moved him to pick up a cigar, but instead of trimming it, he held it in his hand and kneaded it gently, while looking at Colin. Chandler's secretary, Miss Effie: "If it weren't for some difficult and challenging things, we wouldn't be sitting together today, would we?" ”

"That's right, that's right." Miss Effie smiled and nodded: "But Mr. Lin, as Mr. Chandler's secretary, I need to remind you that the Vickers Group has more than 20 directors, and Mr. Chandler's influence on the board of directors is not as great as you think. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Zheng turned his head to look at Colin. Chandler.

But Colin. Chandler's answer disappointed Lin Zheng, his expression did not change, and he nodded. Chandler said to Lin Zheng, "That's right. ”

"That's really...... It's so regrettable," Lin Zheng nodded regretfully: "I also prepared a gift for the two of you." ”

“……”

Colin. Chandler and Effie didn't speak, but their eyes looked straight at Lin Zheng, obviously they were very concerned about the "gift" in Lin Zheng's mouth.

"ICQ is in the middle of an IPO, and you two know that, right?" Tanna spoke gracefully.

"That's right." Colin. Chandler and Ms. Effie glanced at each other, and there was some excitement in their eyes at the same time.

"Of the 15% of the shares prepared for the IPO, we gave about 1% to our friends, hoping to be able to win together with our friends."

As soon as Tanna's words fell, Colin. Chandler and Ms. Effie's faces turned red.

Of course, ICQ's 1% IPO shares can't all fall on them. Chandler or Effie know it, and they know a little bit better, it costs money to buy this part of the shares, and it won't be cheap for a penny, but that's not the point, the point is that the 1% of the IPO shares are not something that anyone can buy, and buying is equal to earning, holding it in their hands for two years, and the 1 million pounds or 2 million pounds of ICQ shares in their hands are likely to become 2 million or 3 million, which is equivalent to Lianchuang Technology giving itself such a large amount of money in disguise. But this income is completely legal, even if the tax bureau comes, it can't say a word.

The only problem is that you can qualify for the 1% stake.

“1%?” Colin. Chandler forced himself to suppress the excitement in his heart, and asked Lin Zheng directly: "How much can I buy?" ”

There's no one else here, Colin. Chandler didn't have to hide his intentions at all.

"£500,000, as for you, Miss Effie," turning his head to look at Effie, Lin Zheng said, "You can buy £200,000." ”

"Too little!" Colin. Chandler frowned.

£500,000? Although the £500,000 could become £1 million after a maximum of two years, and the £500,000 stake could become $2 million if he held it for more than five years, he clearly wanted to get more.

Lin Zheng smiled. Chandler's appetite was laughing, leaning back in his chair, Lin Zheng said relaxedly: "Mr. Chandler, you have to understand, this is ICQ's IPO shares, don't you know what it means?" There are no legal disputes at all, and you don't have to worry about what the old stubborns on the board of directors of the company do to you, 500,000 pounds, you are not satisfied? ”

Lin Zheng's words make a lot of sense, but Collin. Chandler was unusually insistent on the matter.

He shook his head firmly: "Less! A minimum of £1,000,000! ”

"It can't be!" This time, the person who shook his head firmly was replaced by Lin Zheng; "Mr. Chandler, you should understand what this 1% of the shares are for, there are not many people who are qualified to buy this part of the shares, and I will say politely, if it weren't for Cosworth, you would not have this opportunity at all, and the two, together, you can get 700,000 pounds of shares, completely legal, people can't be too greedy, right?"
