Chapter 723 [Keeping an Eye on the Prey]
Looking at Alexander's butler who was talking eloquently and introducing his family, and the two brothers who were excited and sharp-eyed, and were greedy and ready to eat their own property, they were like vultures and hyenas. Abu, a Russian tycoon, feels so sad that he has fallen to the point where he is today.
Sadly, it was a serious blow to the self-esteem of Abu, a rich Russian man, who was nestled on the couch with a glass of ice cubes in his hand. Poured down cup by cup, the whole person was hidden in the shadows, but I didn't want to see that my hard-earned family business was eaten by Yang Jianzhong and his stupid brother John.
This is an ostrich-like practice, when you encounter danger, you bury your head in the sand, and you think that you hide it well, and I can't see myself, so I am safe, isn't this self-deception? You run away, where can you run away.
As for Yang Nianzhong, he has long discussed with his silly brother John, including Anne and his mother, and this time the transaction amount reached 2 billion US dollars.
500 million US dollars is cash has been transferred to his bank account in Switzerland, and after this transaction is completed, there will be nothing to do, Yang Nianzhong will share this cash with his stupid brother, and now is not the time to divide the money.
The family sat together and discussed, with the current asset scale of the Yang family, it can be regarded as a little crocodile in the swamp with the power to protect itself, but against those super predators, it is still a bit weak.
So it has passed the stage of the steady development of hidden strength, and now it is time to show its minions, but the Yang family has a hurdle that cannot be sold. That is, the family members are too few, the assets are too weak, the allocation is single, and the ability to resist risks is low.
Although these properties have an value-added effect, and they can also collect rent every month or every year, and they are rising every year, which is a very good investment direction, but it is a bit too troublesome to manage.
As for John, he had long taken a fancy to the superyacht Compass in Abu's hand, and when he got the big black man, he had no desire or desire, and it didn't matter what Yang Nianzhong wanted, he put all the pressure on Yang Nianzhong.
Yang Nianzhong had already calculated in his heart, in addition to the private island that Anne needed, and the compass superyacht that his stupid brother John needed, he would try to avoid exchanging the real estate in Abu's hands, and at the same time, he would also avoid exchanging those companies' stock funds or treasury bonds.
Because when these financial products are traded, they will leave traces, Yang Nianzhong doesn't want the IRS to follow these traces to ask for money, you must know that tax evasion in the United States is a felony, Yang Nianzhong does not dare to touch this red line.
Office real estate should be avoided as much as possible, financial products should not be touched as much as possible, and in addition to superyachts, Yang Nianzhong does not need any luxury cars and private jets. Then the rest is those gems, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, these small and convenient good things with bright prospects for value preservation and appreciation.
People can't be controlled by their own desires, and these things that Abu took out were dazzling, each of them was worth a fortune, which had already made Yang Nianzhong have an impulsive desire, but Yang Nianzhong quickly sobered up again. Not being fooled by those appearances, he clearly recognized what he wanted, so he coughed and stopped Abu's butler Alexander from continuing to talk.
"Butler Alexander, you introduced it in great detail, but the information is so large that I am a little overwhelmed."
At this time, Abu also put the whiskey glass in his hand on the coffee table, and Butler Alexander looked at Yang Nianzhong and asked with a frown. "Mr. Yang, I just introduced 2/3 of Mr. Abu's total assets, and 1/3 has not been introduced."
Yang Nianzhong smiled and nodded. "I know, I know, I have to eat the food one bite at a time, and I have to do things one by one."
"Mr. Abu, when we were playing games in the afternoon, I told you that I wanted a small island, preferably in the middle of the Aegean Sea."
Seeing that Yang Nianzhong said such a thing to himself, Abu nodded, looked at Alexander in a hoarse voice and said. "Alexander, Mr. Yang is right, he wants to move the small island in the Aegean Sea, I don't know if I have it under my hands."
Alexander heard that his boss was so rich, and went through it in his mind, shook his head awkwardly, and looked at what Yang Nianzhong said to his boss Abu. "Sir, there are quite a few small islands under your name, for example, there is a very large island in the Caribbean."
"For example, there is a desert island in Hawaii and a beautiful island in the Adriatic Sea, but there is no island in the Aegean Sea."
Yang Nianzhong frowned when he heard Alexander's introduction, the island in the Aegean Sea was a gift that his wife Ani needed, and Yang Nianzhong also promised his wife to get him back an island, and it was a beautiful island.
Every year, the whole family will come to this island for vacation, and they will live comfortably, and even live for three months to half a year, and they have promised their wife. If you break your promise and get fat, where is your WeChat as a husband? Wasn't that a disappointment for his wife, Anne?
So Yang Nianzhong's face began to change in an instant, from a sunny day to a cloudy day, and the Russian billionaire Abu who was sitting opposite the sofa. As soon as he saw Yang Nianzhong's face, it changed instantly, and he coughed embarrassedly, shrugged his shoulders when he looked at the Year of the Goat, and said helplessly.
"Mr. Yang is really sorry, I have a lot of islands in my hands, but there are no islands in the Aegean Sea, can I ask why you have to have an island in the Greek Aegean Sea."
Yang Nianzhong was extremely disappointed in the center, but Abu asked so, and Yang Nianzhong couldn't help but answer, Yang Nianzhong told Abu that when he took his whole family around the Aegean Sea on the Royal Cruise Line, he was fascinated by the clear waters of the Love Sea, the right temperature and the beautiful climate.
And he has promised his wife Anne that he will get back a small island and become a family resort, but now Abu does not have a Greek Aegean island in his hands, which makes Yang Jianzhong quite disappointed, and he can't explain it to the people in the family, especially his wife.
Yang Nianzhong's eloquent talk made Abu and Alexander sound a little incredible, and this reason was too powerful. And Abu just doesn't have islands in the Aegean Sea, what do you say? Is it possible to invite a third party to make a transaction, so that it will become a triangular debt?
At this time, Abu's butler Alexander fully showed his decades of work experience, and before Yang Nianzhong finished speaking, he interrupted Yang Nianzhong's words and said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, you need Aegean islands by name, don't you just like the clear waters, warm climate and beautiful island scenery of the Aegean Sea?"
Yang Nianzhong nodded stunned and replied. "I grew up in New York, and I've never seen the Aegean Sea so clear, and some of the islands have coral reefs around them."
Butler Alexander smiled and said triumphantly. "Mr. Yang, we really don't have islands in the Aegean Sea, but there are many islands that meet your requirements for islands, and there is an island in the Adriatic Sea, which is very suitable for your requirements."
