Chapter 306: Family Office
August 20.
Today, the sky in Paris is so blue that it doesn't seem to have a trace of floating, as if it has been filtered out of all the variegated colors, and it shines magnificently.
Abel came out of Charles de Gaulle International Airport and got into the car.
He asked Aimo Alamuddin, who was already waiting in the carriage, "What is the situation?" ”
Today's Legally Blonde wears a waist-cinching dark green suit.
This outfit shows her strong side as a lawyer, but it is also sweet.
The round bow tie with the golden lawyer's emblem shines brightly, and the gold lace on the edge of the kilt skirt, which is also dark green, is small and beautiful.
It's very pleasing to the eye.
Facing Abel's question.
Aimo Alamuddin felt a little sour and jealous in his heart, but he still answered honestly and whispered:
"I don't know. But for now, the mood is quite stable. At least there was no quarrel. ”
She was talking about two women who had been living together for a few days in Abel's mansion in the 16th arrondissement of Paris.
Jessica Alba with Anne Hathaway.
In the first two days.
Abel went to London.
He had Jessica, who had woken up at the Pullman Paris Defens Resort, sent to the 16th arrondissement.
Then there was some speculation about the existence of the other party, but Anne and Jessica, who had never been confirmed, met for the first time.
The result of the two meeting, of course, it is impossible to immediately say hello and I am good to be a sister.
According to Aimmo Alamuddin's report, both of them had changed their faces at that time.
Fortunately, there was no quarrel and no departure from the house.
In the case that Abel deliberately did not go back, the two also held back and did not call Abel.
Abel stayed in London and dealt with the affairs of London.
On the other hand, Aim Alamuddin, who was a spy for him, stayed here to see the situation.
A few days have passed, and nothing has changed.
Abel felt that there was enough time, so he returned from London.
What he was asking about Aimme Almuddin was Anne and Jessica.
"Good." Abel took one hand around Aimo Alamuddin and kissed her plump lips.
After making her pant and swasting all the lipstick she had carefully wiped.
He let go of Aimo Alamuddin and hugged her with a smile,
"Well done. Aimo, it's going to be like this in the future. I don't want you guys to quarrel, you know? ”
Aimme almuddin wondered how that was possible.
Women love to quarrel together.
Not to mention a woman who is the same man.
What is the reason for being able to get together, do you really not know?
Aymus Alammuddin believed he knew.
Although I think so in my heart, it is naturally impossible for this Legally Blonde to say it directly.
Aimo Alamuddin said sweetly, gently and obediently, "I will listen to you all."
As she spoke, she tried her best to squeeze herself into Abel's arms.
Then she looked up slightly and saw the man's handsome side face looking out the window, as if in deep thought.
Although he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Aim Almuddin had to admit it at this time.
Judging from the appearance alone, the man in front of him is really impeccable.
Coupled with his terrible wealth, and the power that comes with wealth.
If only he really loved one.
Aimo Almuddin feels that the woman who is loved is estimated to have saved the multidimensional universe in her previous life!
About half an hour later.
Aimour alam re-applied her lipstick.
The team also returned to Gödelmar in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, the famous home of dreams in Paris.
The convoy drove directly into Gödelmar, and Abel got off in the front yard.
Aymus Alamuddin followed him and walked towards the interior of the manor.
However, she found that Abel had not entered the house.
He turned a corner halfway through the road and came to a gazebo in the middle of a large lawn on the left side of the front courtyard of the Goldmar mansion.
This gazebo and the surrounding lawn are very exquisite.
They and the surrounding scenery are said to have been designed by the owners who built the manor house more than a hundred years ago, in reference to the shape of a palace in Fontainebleau.
It is said that Marie Antoinette, the queen of Louis XVI, the guillotine emperor, was the prototype of this pavilion when she went to Fontainebleau on vacation.
It doesn't matter what the truth is, Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI have been dead for more than two hundred years.
The reality is that this gazebo, with its beautiful views and arrangement, has always been the most attractive part of the Gödelmar house.
Aimo Alammuddin didn't know what Abel was doing here, so she chose to follow.
When the two came to the gazebo, they found a little girl enjoying the cool in the gazebo.
Abel was a little surprised, thinking that the little girl who had panicked because of his arrival was a little familiar.
Aimo Alamuddin whispered, "It seems to be the daughter of Anne's personal cook." ”
"Oh, I remembered, too." Abel smiled: "You're Jinna's niece, right?" ”
The little girl, who was a little panicked, smiled shyly when she saw Abel so gentle, and replied:
"Yes. Sir, I am Lulana Korshunova, the daughter of Sanruna Korshunova and the niece of Kina Korshunova Kembev. ”
Abel looked at Lulana Kolshunova, who was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
She had long, curly pale blonde hair that supple over her shoulders.
His fair skin was as smooth as mutton fat, and his brown eyes shone shyly.
Under the high bridge of the nose, the pink thin lips are slightly pursed.
She smiled shyly, and there was a pair of light rose-red dimples on her cheeks, like small red apples, young but innocent, living like a beautiful embryo.
Compared to the last time Abel saw her in Los Angeles, Lulana Kolshunova, who had been by Anne's side for half a year, began to show her beauty.
Even Abel couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Lulana Korshunova was so stared at him that her face turned red, and she lowered her head and did not dare to look up again, nor did she dare to leave.
Abel also knew that his gaze was too direct.
He's used to it.
After all, even a woman like Little Laura has a feeling of giving him what she wants.
This made him develop a bad habit and made him accustomed to direct gaze when facing women.
He whispered, "Lulana, right?" Excuse me, go and ask the kitchen to prepare some snacks and black tea and send them here. If you can't deliver it yourself, ask a few more people to help. ”
Lulana Korshunova was stunned, and then hurriedly left.
When Lulana Korshunova turned to leave, Abel said to Doni, the captain of the female bodyguard behind her, "Inform your subordinates." Let them come. ”
Donnie, the captain of the female bodyguard, nodded, stepped aside and made a phone call.
Aymour al-Amuddin has been watching from the sidelines.
At first, Abel's gaze at Lulana Korshunova was too direct.
It made Aimo Alamuddin a little contemptuous in his heart.
Such a small child will not let go, XXX!
Abel's performance from coming in to the present made Aimo Alamuddin very curious.
Since Abel didn't let herself go, she decided to be an invisible person here.
A short time later, Aymour Almuddin saw Anne Hathaway and walked over from a corner of the manor.
As she approached, Anne greeted Abel with a smile on her face.
"Honey, you're back!"
"yes, just came back."
Able smiled and hugged her, kissed her on the forehead and face, and finally kissed her on the lips.
It took a few minutes to let go of her.
When he lets Anne go.
Jessica Alba has come to the vicinity of the two and witnessed their intimacy.
Compared with Annie's smile just now, Jessica Alba, who saw Abel and Annie's appearance, had a bad face.
But she still came to Abel gently and smiled at him
"Honey, you're back."
Aymour Alamuddin felt that this scene was similar to just now.
"yes, I'm back."
Aimo Alamuddin closed his eyes helplessly.
Then Jessica Alba's treatment is the same as Anne just now.
She was gasping for breath as well, and then let go.
At this point, Aimo Alamuddin was a little surprised.
Surprised by Abel's directness.
Later, more and more people came here.
Some are already people that Aimo Alammuddin does not know.
For example, Paris, who came on behalf of Ikana,
On behalf of Charlize came her mother,
Li Yuxin, who came over on behalf of Li Fuzhen.
and Liv Taylor, who came in person.
The atmosphere of the scene around the gazebo is becoming more and more eerie and quiet because of the increasing number of people coming.
However, there is one thing in common, that is, none of the faces of so many women present are good.
It's almost time for the others to come.
Lulana Korshunova and her mother, with a few servants, also brought a large amount of snacks and tea.
At this time, they heard Abel say to Edward, "Let David come here." ”
Edward nodded yes, and like Doni just now, he also walked to the side and made a phone call.
After a while, the women in the gazebo.
Not far away, I saw many guys in suits and leather shoes, led by David Jones, walking this way.
Among the people who walked by, Aimo Alamuddin recognized Timmy Owen of Clifford Chance's law firm and another barrister.
Paris, who came on behalf of Ikana, who couldn't fly because she was pregnant, complained frantically in her heart, and at the same time, she also recognized the New York legal lady Satan Caroline in the crowd.
Anne and Jessica, among them, recognized the housekeeper Lady Joanna, whom they both knew.
These guys, who were dressed in suits and leather shoes, and were full of elite atmosphere all over their bodies, finally came to the gazebo.
"Smack~"
In the quiet environment, everyone heard Abel snap his fingers.
Everyone looked at him, but he nodded to David Jones.
Then David Jones smiled and said to the women present:
"Hello everyone, dear ladies, you probably all know me. I'm David Jones, and I've worked for Mr. Smith and I'm there for him. ”
David looked polite at this time, looking full of gentlemanly demeanor, like a traditional aristocratic butler.
"Allow me to introduce myself to you and tell you a little bit about my new identity. Today, Mr. Smith has given me a new responsibility, a new identity. ”
"From today onwards, I will be the managing director of the Smith Family Office."
Not many of the women in the room understood David Jones's subtext.
There were two exceptions, though.
One is Paris, who was born in the Hilton family.
Family office, they have their own family.
Aymus Alamuddin also understands that she is a lawyer herself.
"There may be honorable ladies who don't know what that means. It doesn't matter, Mr. Smith has prepared a channel for everyone to clear their doubts. ”
David, who smiled politely, began to introduce the identities of the rest of the people next to him.
This is Ms. Joanna Lynne Dark. She is a member of Smith's office. ”
"This is Ms. Caroline, she is"
"This is Mr. Timmy Owen, and he is."
"This is Mr. Hans Dacho, a senior partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers"
"This is Alan Baker, who is the general manager of the Smith Intelligence Group and a member of the Smith family office."
"This is Mr. Mark Dulong, a senior partner at KPMG."
"This is Joe."
“.”
David was very patient and introduced all the twenty-one people around him.
The identity of each of these people is not simple, there are Americans, there are Europeans.
After introducing everyone, David Jones smiled and bent over to everyone, "Including me, there are 22 of us. It's all the members of the current Smith family office. ”
"Alright."
At this time, Abel suddenly spoke, "David." Let Ms. Caroline and Mr. Owen explain the rest. ”
David Jones nodded yes, then looked back at the others.
Maybe he wants to behave in front of Abel, or maybe his personality is inherently more extroverted.
Timmy Owen of Clifford Chance Law Firm was the first to smile and speak:
"Ladies, you can ask us any questions. We are willing to serve the Smith family wholeheartedly! ”
On the side of the gazebo, Anne and Jessica didn't move, they both looked at Abel first.
Abel turned his back to them and walked to the grass next to them to look for ants.
This made the two Hollywood goddesses can't help but show disappointed expressions.
At this time, Liv Taylor, who was standing a little behind the two of them, suddenly raised her hand: "I have a problem, can you solve my confusion?" ”
"Absolutely." Owen said with a smile.
Not to be outdone, Paris wants justice for Ikana.
At the same time, she herself was curious, and immediately began to ask questions.
Charlize's mother had a black face the whole time, but at this time, for the sake of her daughter's happiness, the old woman also asked with concern.
With these three people making a start, Li Yuxin, who already knew that her sister was pregnant, and even knew who the child in her belly was, didn't hold back.
In the end, even Jessica and Anne got involved.
Looking at the gazebo, the crowd gathered around to ask questions and answer questions.
Here on the lawn, Abel, who couldn't find ants, kicked the grass on the ground.
Today's matter, the establishment of a family office, Abel has been thinking about it for a long time.
The so-called family office originated from the "Domus" (head of the family) in ancient Rome and the "Domo" (chief steward) in the Middle Ages.
There were similar things in ancient China, such as the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Mansion.
The family office in the modern sense appeared in the middle of the 19th century.
Some of the tycoons who seized the opportunity of the industrial revolution brought together financial experts, legal experts, and financial experts to study how to manage and protect their family's wealth and a wide range of business interests.
This has led to the emergence of a single family office that serves only one family.
In 1882, John F. D. Rockphil established the world's first family office.
The establishment of a family office is generally based on the consideration of the maintenance and development of a wealthy family.
Gather a group of elite candidates in the industry to provide a variety of professional management consulting and operation services for the family.
These include: lawyers, CPAs, investment managers, stockbrokers, insurance agents, banks, and independent trust entities.
The so-called family trust is included in the concept of family office.
The role of the family "assistant" has also been taken up by the family office.
Services such as family education planning, family security, charitable arrangements, estate planning, etc., also fall under the scope of family office services.
Roughly speaking, it is equivalent to an emasculated version of an institution like the "Ministry of Internal Affairs".
Most of the surviving wealthy families have such a family office.
The Smith family office would also be an existence like this.
According to Abel's plan, he will put 10% of the shares of Smith Capital, 20% of Pacific Energy, 20% of the shares of Pacific Commercial Bank, and 20% of the future Pacific Mall in the Smith family office.
In addition to these, a certain percentage of private properties under the name of Abel, such as New Beginnings Real Estate, will also enter the Smith family office.
At that time, the Smith family office will become a huge and secret existence, just like the Rockefeller family office.
According to Abel's idea.
The child of himself and the bush will later become the main branch.
This branch will be divided into two factions internally.
One faction went into politics, taking the line of bushes and Alexander.
The other group of businessmen selects the best members to become participants in the management of the family business.
As for their bastards, they may be the most capable among them.
Those who can start a business will start a business, and those who have a hobby will cultivate their hobbies.
Those who have the ability to do business can also work in the family business.
If you don't have any skills, then you will receive a salary every month every year and live on family welfare
When there are many children, it will be used for marriage in the future.
Then the options will become many, too.
As for the last name, you can use Smith directly.
There are millions of Smiths in the United States, and it's too easy to get the last name.
If you want to make something more meaningful, you can also follow the example of the Morgenthau family.
Later, make a branch form such as Smithsoau, Smecta Mountain, Smecta and so on.
The role of the Smith Family Office is to safeguard this plan.
This is a long-term plan that Abel has in mind.
And the short-term effect is also there, that is, it can be when the position of the main palace has been decided.
To his women, explain the situation directly.
Even Ikana, for the sake of great interests, can accept it.
Abel didn't believe that Annie could refuse!
Today is also the day when the Smith Family Office was officially established.
