The reason why Roland wants to give more than 40 million yuan to Kate is actually because he has his own plans.

Because he needs to sign a prenuptial agreement with the other party.

Although eternal interests can make the two sides inseparable, there will be an accident in everything.

Before that happened, no one would have imagined that someone would suddenly resign as prime minister because of a recurrence of ulcerative colitis.

No one would have thought that when Japan was leaderless, Warren Buffett had already brandished Berkshire Hathaway and beat five of the six disobedient Japanese conglomerates.

From the Daiichi Bank Foundation, the Fuji Foundation, the Mitsubishi Foundation, the Mitsui Foundation, and the Sumitomo Foundation, they each acquired 5 percent of the shares of Itochu, Marubeni, Mitsubishi Corporation, Mitsui & Co., and Sumito Corporation, and publicly stated that it reserves the right to increase the shareholding of all companies to a maximum of 9.9 percent depending on the future situation.

Overnight, the five major conglomerates that monopolized the entire Japanese trade market could be pinned to the ground and beaten.

So what else is there that can't happen?

Even the Three-Body Universe was found by Netflix, and signing a prenuptial agreement is even more necessary.

Of course, Roland would not be as exaggerated as Comrade Jianguo.

Add something to the prenuptial agreement that 'in the event of a divorce, the woman must return to the man any gifts she received during the marriage, such as furs and cars', and that 'during the marriage, the woman's help to the man is a gift to the man, and no remuneration is allowed in the divorce'.

According to his arrangement, if there is really an accident and the divorce is reached, then the gifts he gave Kate after marriage will belong to the other party, not only that, but the non-investment property purchased in the UK except for the company is also owned by Kate.

It is with this idea that the newly purchased house is given to the other party in the name of a pre-wedding gift, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it, anyway, what he really cares about is only those companies like Nvidia that held a new product launch conference in the kitchen, but when Kate directly refused, and once again swore her sovereignty over Roland in front of outsiders, Roland was still very happy in his heart.

Although he doesn't believe in love, and has been like Rupert Murdoch and Satsuma Lei Shidong, he has held the money that symbolizes power in his hands, but who wants to live a lonely life?

Although a capitalist is the embodiment of capital and has no feelings, as long as he continues to breathe, then he is still a person.

“Mua~”

A peck in Kate's face, causing Kate to hammer him again.

The intimate action made Roland hug his daughter-in-law's waist, and since he accepted all this, he was not hypocritical.

"Alright then, let's do it."

Roland looked at the old butler.

"Okay, Mr. Allen, that's a wise decision."

The old butler smiled and nodded.

Seeing that the dust had settled, Roland, who was in a good mood, also asked the other party about the doubts in his heart.

"By the way, you wouldn't know Kate, would you? If you don't know each other, isn't it abrupt for you to block it? ”

The old housekeeper knew that what Roland was asking about was Fang Cai's own abnormal behavior, and since it was not a secret, he smiled and said: "Mr. Allen, we don't have a gift tax in the United Kingdom, but you in the United States do." ”

"If you donate this property to your fiancée, then according to your U.S. law, if the gift takes place outside the country and the donee is not a U.S. national, you need to pay the gift tax in full, and your California tax rate is as high as 50 percent."

"That is to say, you spent 39 million to buy a house, and you have to give 19.5 million to the California Federation, this kind of business, it is really a loss, but if it is after marriage, you can enjoy the preferential treatment of unlimited marriage deductions."

"Nineteen and a half million, you can buy the small one next door."

"Wouldn't it be better to ask the queen for approval and rebuild it together? Why give money to the Commonwealth? ”

"So, whenever a guest wants to give a property to a loved one, we will remind you according to the actual situation."

"After all, the prince asks us to serve every owner well."

The old butler smiled at Roland, bowed slightly, and showed a little respect.

The undisguised words made Roland shake his head with emotion.

He understands that the old housekeeper is ostensibly helping him avoid taxes, but in fact, he hopes to use high-quality services in exchange for the household's investment in the UK - today they can help you save 19.5 million taxes on the spot, and tomorrow they can also help you pick the rope from somewhere else, in this case, when you are in trouble on this land, then they will take the initiative to ask them for help, and at that time, all kinds of conditions can be put on the table.

"Okay, I got it."

Roland nodded to the old butler, then looked down at Kate, "The house has been bought, what are you going to do with the decoration?" ”

"Wrap it up for David." Kate said it right, "David already knows what I like." ”

'Gotcha! ’

Roland secretly sighed in his heart, "This is really using people as tools to the end." ’

…………

After dealing with the matter of buying a house, Roland's second purpose of coming to the UK has been achieved.

The next time, as he promised, was all handed over to Kate, and he followed what the other party wanted to do.

And as a girl who is looking forward to marriage, but is a novice on the road, Kate's performance is no different from other women, find a wedding company, tell them their planned wedding time, and those tools who are eager to make money will arrange everything properly - what wedding location, wedding dress and dress design, wedding photo shooting method, banquet guests, honeymoon travel route......

In the case of the opening of the road, the wedding company can make you feel the warmth of home.

And what Roland has to do is to lean comfortably on the sofa with Kate and answer those planned questions.

"So, where do you want to hold the event?" The old man, who was over half a hundred years old, hugged the record board and asked with a smile.

"Where? The venue should be private. Kate said: "He doesn't like to be interrupted by the media. ”

"Then it's the same as William." Roland agrees with his mother-in-law's statement.

But the old man didn't understand his words, "William? ”

"Bill Gates."

Roland added: "Like him, just charter an island, and you can help me pick an island that is prettier than Lanai." ”

“……”

The old man nodded and noted down the needs of the two newlyweds, "So, which brand are you going to choose for wedding dresses and dresses?" We have worked with Pronovias, Marco and Maria, Jenny Packham......"

Before Kate could answer, Roland had already spoken, because the question he would, "Elizabeth Emmanuel, I think you should know her, we don't work with any brand, so we asked her and her husband to make a wedding dress, a one-of-a-kind wedding dress." ”

These words made Kate purse her lips and chuckle, and the old man's right hand, which was recording, was also stunned.

After glancing up at Roland and making sure he wasn't joking, he continued to ask, "How and where were the wedding photos taken......

This question Roland will also, "We got married in October, and now in January, there are still nine months to go, during this time, we will prepare a few more sets of wedding dresses, and shoot wherever we go, without a fixed location." ”

This answer caused Kate to lean against Roland, and the old man who was recording blinked in confusion.

It took about a few seconds to digest the idea Roland had put forward, and after recording it, he asked again, "Is there a guest directory for the banquet?" We are able to design the inner page of the invitation letter according to the name of the guest......"

Roland would also ask, "This?" There are more of them. Turning his head to stare at his mother-in-law, he said, "All the relatives and friends over there in your house have to be invited, so starting with Kenneth Branagh, I will count a hundred places first?" ”

"Pretty much." Kate thinks the number is reasonable, "The guys in the circle can't do it if they don't please." ”

"Then counting my relatives and friends here, I'm leaving a hundred places?"

"That's not enough." Kate shook her head and said, "You like Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Francis Coppola, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Tom Hanks, these people will definitely be present as the whole family at that time, you have to count their children, how can a hundred places be enough?" ”

Speaking of this, Kate snapped her fingers again, "Not to mention, there are partners such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Paul Allen, Charlie Munger, Carl Icahn, Ronald Perelman, and friends such as David Shaw, Richard Cheney, and Henry Rumsfeld, as well as close comrades-in-arms such as Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos, who must be invited, let alone a hundred positions, even if it is three hundred, I don't think it is enough to ......"

"Shhh...... It seems to be the ...... of this question," Roland gasped.

"yes, these guys are friends, you can't invite one of them and the other you don't, can you?" Kay nodded and continued: "While you don't know if Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn will be on the field at the same time, ......"

"Invitations have to be sent."

"There are also the bosses of the Big Six, you have cooperated with them for so many years, as long as you send invitations, they will come to ......"

"......" The old man, who wanted to record his name at first, stopped what he was doing.

His eyes looked directly at the newcomer who was counting people there.

At this moment, countless question marks popped up in his heart.

'No! Are you getting married? It's still the United Nations General Assembly! ’

'Why are the people invited getting more and more outrageous?' ’

'Aren't you showbiz?' Wouldn't it be over if the showbiz circles of the two countries get together together? Why do you still bring cross-border? ’

'The point is cross-border, forget it!' How do you clean up the people on the Forbes list of the world's richest people? ’

'Do these people have a combined net worth of a trillion?' ’

That's an exaggeration! ’

…………

When the news came out that Roland was hiding in England to prepare for a wedding, there was no one in the outside world who was not surprised.

Although they all knew that it was a certainty that Roland and Kate would get married, no one expected that Roland would be so quick and have already finalized his wedding before officially announcing his withdrawal from the circle.

However, surprise is surprise, congratulations is congratulations.

After learning the news through various channels, they also counted the time difference and called Roland to congratulate them.

This behavior directly made Roland busy like a dog.

For three days, the phone did not stop.

Of course, the private congratulations did not cause feedback from the society, and the media also respected their personal wishes when the two newlyweds were temporarily reluctant to disclose the news of their marriage.

No way, no respect!

Top wedding companies may not be able to figure out Roland's circle of friends, but those media are monkeys!

While Roland was preparing for the wedding, everything in the world was also running in an orderly manner.

When February arrived, Yahoo's board of directors was reshuffled, and it didn't make a splash.

The five independent directors joined Ronald Perelman and Carl Icahn on the board, and the day after they were elected, Karl Icahn said that Yahoo's CEO Zhiyuan Yang was not up to the job!

At the same time that AOL swallowed Time Warner, Yahoo, which is also an Internet service provider, was indifferent and indifferent, which is simply taking the money of shareholders and joking!

When such a criticism appeared, the media frantically pounced on it like a shark smelling fish.

For a time, a series of news headlines such as 'Wolf King Invades Yahoo', 'Yahoo is Afraid of Being Dismembered', and 'The Free Internet Era May End' occupied people's attention, and at the same time, Yahoo's stock price skyrocketed!

They were originally hovering around 111 billion, but they directly climbed to 125 billion!

Because everyone knows that whenever the wolf king makes such a statement, it means that they are going to shoot the company!

Regardless of whether it is packaged and sold, dismembered and dismantled, this series of transactions will make the company generate countless premiums!

And this is the best opportunity for their retail investors to make money!

But before retail investors fell into a frenzy, waving banknotes to buy Yahoo shares, and drinking soup with the wolf king, Microsoft, which received the signal, also followed and released a big satellite for people.

The new CEO Steve Ballmer said that he is willing to reach a settlement with the Department of Justice on the operating system monopoly case, no longer restricting the choice of operating systems by PC equipment manufacturers, and everyone is welcome to write various applications based on the Windows operating system, and the copyright of the applications created based on the Windows operating system belongs to the operator.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was stunned!

Everyone can't figure it out, is Microsoft crazy?

Before the Department of Justice gave solid evidence, Microsoft had already given in?

Not only that, but also open up permissions for other developers to write software on Windows?

This, this, this......

It's death!

In the eyes of the public, Microsoft, which made such a decision, is giving away its core competitiveness to others!

Although when developers all over the world use the Windows operating system to develop software, Windows can truly monopolize the entire market, because the ecological environment of the entire system is not comparable to other competitors, but the problem is that this will also make it impossible for Microsoft to launch lethal software in the future!

The previous software is implanted in the Windows system, whether the user chooses it or not, it is there, and the future software will be chosen by the user himself, although the latter does allow consumers to take advantage, but for a company, it is fatal!

As a result, Microsoft's stock price plummeted.

After repeatedly confirming that Microsoft really wanted to settle with him, the federal judge in charge of the case, Thomas Jackson, was immediately dismissed by the Supreme Court for violating judicial process, and the reassigned judge asked her to thoroughly investigate whether Thomas Jackson abused her rights and threatened Microsoft.

Such changes have vividly shown the face of monopolistic competition.

At the time when Microsoft was messing around, the Federation had to govern it, but when Microsoft took the initiative to admit it, the Federation was afraid that Microsoft would hand over the operating system market to others, and this kind of change made people feel emotional.

But unfortunately, Microsoft's stock price, before announcing the acquisition of Yahoo, I am afraid that it will not rise back.

And just when people thought that two major events in the same month were already in the sky, another company jumped out and arched the fire-

Enron, America's largest natural gas buyer and seller, announced that it expects revenues of $101 billion for the full year 2000.
