Chapter Twenty-Eight: Meet George, the Dark Curtain Is Revealed!
At 2 p.m. on November 27, 1972, we arrived at the Jiashidi office.
William. Mr. Jones was waiting for us at the front desk.
We worked with William. As soon as Jones met, he led us into a secret room in the office.
In the secret room, we met George. Mr. Jones!
Mr. George is the same as in the photo, but he looks older and haggard than he is in the photo.
The four of us sat on the couch, William and George sat together, and Qiao Yan and I sat together!
Somebody served us coffee and we started talking, we were in English the whole time, and they seemed to be recording.
George said, "William told me that you have to take care of the inheritance!" So I came from Europe! How do you prove yourself! ”
So, I gave my student ID, household registration ID, Gangcheng ID card and other documents to George and William for inspection.
After they checked the papers, George said, "Byron. By
o
.ma
Sir! These can only prove that you are Mr. Song Zilong! IT IS NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO MY CLIENT, MR. HANDA.JOY! ”
I took out from my briefcase the household registration and family information of my Yongcheng family, as well as the photos of my overseas household registration and identity information in the iron box, which Manager Zheng Songhai had collected for me in my hometown, and handed them to William and George for inspection.
George looked at the pictures with a magnifying glass, and he was in tears as he looked at them!
George shook hands with me and said, "Byron! My good boy! You're the one I'm looking for! You are the son of my employer, Mr. Jia Xianda! ”
I said, "Uncle George! I'm so glad to meet you! I want your help! ”
George said, "Good, boy! It is our responsibility and obligation to help you! How much do you know about your father's affairs? ”
From my briefcase, I handed William and George photos of my father's assets in the iron box.
The two of them were reading carefully with a magnifying glass, and in the process of reading, they were communicating in a foreign language that we did not understand.
After they finished reading it, we started to communicate and discuss.
George said, "Byron! You are a very good and professional kid! For the sake of the family bloody case, you must have learned about law and criminal investigation! You did very well! Actually, you are already very familiar with the family situation! Let me tell you about the events before and after your bloody case! Then, let's talk about how to do it, shall we? ”
I said, "Thank you, Mr. George!" I do want to know about these situations! ”
George said, "Byron! I met your father in the spring and summer of 1948 when I was enrolled at a university in Europe! We are both majoring in law and business administration, and we are professional students! At that time, your father was 20 years old, and at that time, I was already 34 years old, and we were a generation delayed by World War II! When I was studying, I became good friends with your father! In the summer of 1952, your father and I both received our J.D. and M.B.A., and we graduated! Your Jia family is a big family in Palembang, and there are many industries on the islands of Southeast Asia! Your father invited me to start a business in his hometown! So, I took my wife and father back to Palembang in Sumatra! Your father and grandfather helped me set up my current law firm and asset management company! I will use this as a foundation to help your father manage the family business and business! At that time, the whole world was in the process of rebuilding, and as a result, your family's business was booming! We all make a lot of money! My relationship with your family has become closer and closer because of this! ”
After drinking coffee, George said, "After your father returned to his hometown, your grandfather Jia Tianlong's health has not been good!" Your father is the eldest son of the Jia family, and in order for your grandfather to let your father inherit the family property, your grandfather and grandmother Liao Chunyan are in charge, and let your father go to Liao Meilan, the girl of your grandmother Liao family, as his wife! The Liao family is also a big local family, and when your grandfather started his business, he received a lot of help from the Liao family! Therefore, after your father went on a blind date, the Liao family immediately agreed to get married! Your father and mother were married in Palembang on 8 February 1953. Soon after, your grandfather made a will through my law firm and handed over all the family property to your father! Soon after, your grandfather died! ”
After drinking coffee, George calmed down and said: "After your grandfather's funeral was completed, according to your grandfather's other Will and your grandmother's wishes, on April 16, 1953, your father and grandmother summoned your grandfather's second, third, fourth and fifth wife to hold a severance and compensation consultation meeting in our law firm. According to your Chinese rules, your grandfather's wives and their children do not belong to the Jia family's lineage, and they have no right to inherit property! Therefore, they need to be compensated! After negotiation, 200 million US dollars were compensated for each house, and at that time, 800 million US dollars was a very amazing amount of money! These four wives have signed the "Agreement on Separation from the Jia Family and Compensation" with your father and grandmother under our notarization. After signing the agreement, your father paid the compensation to the fourth wife! Soon, the four-room wives left the Jia family with their children and personal belongings and returned to their European hometown to settle down! Actually, these people no longer have anything to do with your Jia family! ”
After a pause, George continued, "In this way, your Jia family should be simple!" However, your grandmother was only 43 years old at the time, and she had a crush on her before marrying your grandfather! Therefore, your grandmother offered to give her half of the family property! She's going to marry the man she wants! At the time, your uncle Jia Xiande was 23 years old, and he had just gotten married. Your aunt Jia Zhizhi is 21 years old, has been married for a few years, and has children! Your uncle and aunt have also offered to share the remaining half of the family property with your father! And unite with the people of the Liao family to make trouble with your father! Your dad is in a big quandary! Your father and I consulted and held a meeting on December 8, 1953 under the auspices of my law firm! At that time, your father, grandmother, uncle, aunt and Liao family members participated! After everyone negotiated, your father was willing to take out 80% of the cash in the account of Jia's Enterprise Group and distribute it to your grandmother, uncle and aunt! Your grandmother accounts for 50%; 26% for your uncle; Your aunt accounts for 24%! At that time, all of Jia's own cash was $50 billion, your father gave them $40 billion, and your grandmother got $20 billion. Your uncle got $10.4 billion; Your aunt gets $9.6 billion! Your father and your grandmother, uncle, and aunt have signed a "Compensation Agreement for the Separation and Separation of Family Relations"! After signing the agreement, your father paid the three of them through the Jia Group account! Since then, your father has severed family ties with your grandmother, uncle, and aunt, and they have also moved out of the Jia family! Started their lives elsewhere in Palembang! Your father has only $10 billion in the account of the Chia conglomerate, and he and your mother are painstakingly running the Chia family business and assets! ”
George's face became more and more severe, and he said in a shaking voice: "After your father and mother have been in business for a few years, the Jia Enterprise Group has achieved tremendous development!" The company's profits have increased more than ten times, and the family's fixed assets have also increased more than ten times! But your grandmother, uncles and aunts, as well as non-direct relatives in Europe, keep coming to your father and mother for money! In the two separations, your father has done his best to the other family members! Therefore, your father has rejected all their demands! Because, these people don't get what they want, so that the uncle Jashin De, the aunt Maria. Koloe, Aunt Jia Zhizhi, Uncle David. Led by Smith and the other four, they united the local forces of Chinese and white people to form a new debt collection group! This debt collection syndicate began to harass and destroy the offices, plantations, mines, factories and enterprises of the Chia conglomerate, etc.! What an abominable man! Your father pacified them through the authorities! But, your father is too merciful! He is not willing to be cruel to his loved ones! He asked the police to spare your uncle and aunt's family! According to our later investigation, your aunt Maria. Chloe, your uncle David. Smith is a member of an international crime syndicate! This syndicate specializes in conspiring to rob other people's property all over the world through various illegal means! ”
George drank his coffee and said, "After these things, your father and mother lost faith in living in the local area!" So, on March 28, 1959, your father and I signed the "Asset Entrustment Management Contract", and your father handed over all the properties and assets of Jia's Enterprise Group to my Jiashidi Asset Management Company for entrusted management! After nearly two years of handover, my Jiashidi company has been able to meet your father's business expectations! Therefore, your father plans to return to his hometown on the mainland with your mother, your brother and sister! He didn't want to see his hateful relatives anymore! ”
After a pause, George continued: "After your parents have taken care of their personal belongings and applied for immigrant visas, on January 18, 1961, your parents, your brother and sister, as well as two iron boxes and simple luggage, took a plane back to their hometown Yongcheng on the mainland!" At that time, me, your grandmother, uncle, aunt and his wife all went to the airport to see them off! The family photo on the information you provided was taken by me for them! After your father left, your relatives really didn't dare to come to trouble the Jia Enterprise Group! Your father is the sole shareholder of Chia's conglomerate! He owns 100% of the shares of Chia Group! During the operation period, Jiashidi can get management fee income and a dividend of 5% of the company's after-tax profit! The other 95% of the bonus was remitted to your father's bank account! You can check these bills later! ”
George continued: "After your father returned to China, I went to Yongcheng every year to report on the operation of Jia's enterprise group and discuss business decisions!" However, soon after your father returned to China, the local authorities of the Chia conglomerate began to nationalize and restrict private development! Your uncle Jia Xiande and your uncle David. Smith, you're fighting your father for the family fortune again! They register a company in Europe and unite a number of consortia! Forced your father to transfer the Jia conglomerate to them at a low price! Your father flatly rejected their unreasonable demands! However, this has laid a curse for your family! ”
George said after his coffee: "Your father was an excellent lawyer and entrepreneur! He had a hunch that the authorities and these people would not let go of the assets of the Chia Group, so in August 1965, your father bought a public company in North America through me! Your father acquired the main assets of the Chia conglomerate through this listed company! Your father owns 36% of the shares and 72% of the voting rights in this public company! I have a 5% stake in this listed company! My Jiashidi company is the actual controller of this listed company! In this way, your property has been saved! Jia's Enterprise Group also has a strong business background! ”
After a pause, George said, "Your uncle and uncle soon found out about it!" They were enraged! So, your uncle, your uncle, and your uncle's brother, Jack. Smith and others, after New Year's Day in 1966, sneaked back to Yongcheng on the mainland! Forced your father to transfer the Jia conglomerate to them again, and then a tragedy happened in your family! ”
After saying that, George cried, and so did we!
George patted his tears with his hands and said, "Byron! Now, your property is still safe! I still remit the annual dividends to your father's bank account! Now, there must be a lot of money in the account! I think you should know about these situations! ”
I said, "Uncle George! How do I get my father's and mother's property back? ”
George said, "Byron! Since you have provided the information and proof is already complete! Your parents made a will, and their property was inherited by the eldest son! You are now the eldest son of the Jia family! Their property is inherited by you alone! However, I was not present when they made this will! So I don't have a backup here! This will should be kept in an iron box! Go back and look for it! If you have this will, Jiashidi Law Firm can help you handle the transfer of your parents' assets throughout the process! In this way, you are the actual controller of the listed company and the Jia Enterprise Group! However, there are no impermeable walls in this world! Later, you, your brother and sister! It could be a target for those criminals! Because, according to international law, after the direct line does not exist, the line has the right of inheritance! So protect yourselves! Kid, understand? ”
I said, "Uncle George! I understand! We will protect ourselves! At the same time, I will strike at these gangsters in my own way! Avenge my family! ”
George shook my hand and said, "Byron! You're as good as your father! You are more bloody and enterprising than he is! I will continue to help you! ”
Then, Qiao Yan and I said goodbye to George and William, and we left Jiashidi and drove to UBS, where the iron box was kept.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, after we arrived at the bank, Qiao Yan and I found the will that George said in a dark layer of the iron box where our parents stored their materials and documents!
After I put the will in a file bag in my briefcase, locked the iron box, and locked the iron box in the bank safe, we left the bank and returned to our home in Jinling Garden.
