Chapter 112: Graduation
"The secret source he was referring to was actually a $50 tip and learned from the hotel front desk that we were staying here."
On the plane back to London, Luca whispered.
Hall tucked a stack of photographic negatives back into the envelope: "I'm only worth $50?"
"Well, there were a lot of reporters covering the charity dinner that night. They are a little interested in the combination of you and Hollywood actresses, so the hotel front desk is ...... With small profits and quick sales, maybe the gossip tabloids will arrive in London before we do."
Lukka gloated, smiling, "But there is no picture as clear and conclusive as the one in the envelope, which was confirmed by that Nigo. The security at the St. Regis is good, and it's a credit to his skin color that he was able to lie on the lawn all night."
"One of Sheraton's minority shareholders personally called to apologize, and he hoped to be forgiven through some compensation, and Brandon took care of it." He went on to add.
Hall nodded indifferently to show that he understood, as long as there was no real hammer news, let it be.
Nowadays, Hollywood's first-line celebrities spend at least hundreds of thousands of dollars every year to deal with gossip scandals, legal proceedings and other public relations events.
It's still a white star, if it's a black star...... That pop king is the best example of this.
Since he chooses to often appear on the news of the social sector, it will inevitably attract countless flies to hear about it, and there will be more and more bad things like this in the future.
"Welcome, our young Lord, where is America's little sweetheart, I want an autograph."
As soon as she stepped off the plane, Aunt Caroline stood on the tarmac and waved a gossip newspaper, smiling and quipping.
Hall shrugged and quickly got into the car: "I'm sorry, the American paparazzi are more dedicated than their English counterparts, I was careless."
"Needless to explain, in fact, even if the media took a video of you making out with her, it didn't matter." Aunt Caroline sat in the passenger seat and closed the car door, "The peach scandal is just a piece of paper with stains on the face after the death of the big man."
"There has never been any real big man who died in a peach scandal, let alone a young and talented single aristocrat. If you openly date multiple girls at the same time, the people and the council will only tolerate and send good wishes."
"So try to be a real big man, Hugo."
Hall involuntarily curled the corners of his mouth slightly, this was probably the attitude his mother wanted to convey, and it was really reserved.
Aunt Caroline, however, is very open to his chaotic personal feelings, and often reminds him to pay attention to protective measures.
At present, AIDS is still terminally ill and there is no cure.
So when she got home, Hall pulled out a rough will, and Helena couldn't express her anger at her son's troubles, and her heart turned into horror in an instant.
"No, no, no, I was inspired to write this will just because I started a family office...... I'm in good health, I've only been in contact with Charlotte, Sabella, and Jennifer, and they're all ...... No, I'm not too little...... Man?! I guessed something was wrong with you, Aunt Caroline......
Hollian said and made a gesture, and finally played an excerpt from "Hungarian Rhapsody" on the spot, and his brain was sweating so tired that he could convince the two rotten girls that he was in good health. ….
"If you don't have any opinion on this will, ask lawyer Benjamin to witness it."
He sat slumped on the couch, his fingers shaking as if he were suffering from old Parkinson's. Piano music is clearly classified as an art, but it is performed like physical work.
"Charlotte was allocated a one-off £1 million cash in Chelsea and a 1% stake in AEC Capital...... Wan Sabella was allocated to the villa on Mayfair Street for a one-time cash of £5 million...... I'd say you're jealous of your generosity, but why is there such a difference between them?" Caroline frowned.
"Because I'm biased." Hall shook his head and didn't want to say more, "The rest of the assets, ARM equity can continue to be held. If you don't want to run the business, you can transfer it out."
Charlotte seemed to want to be the first in everything, but she actually applied to Cambridge University to study classics.
He was worried about this man who just wanted to live a good life
The living little lover, dragged to death by a vampire mother and two younger brothers, and therefore given a long-term income based on it.
On the contrary, she plans to apply to Harvard University for a major in political science, a second degree in finance, and a direct transfer to a JD in law. This set of clear and terrifying life plans, the ambition is obvious, so she was given the first pot of gold.
Of course, this will is temporary and will be revised and updated regularly in the future.
Only witnesses such as Helena, Caroline, and the lawyer's accountant knew of its existence until Hall actually died.
"ARM, semiconductors, are you optimistic about this company or the entire industry?" Helena's fingers rubbed over the thin pages of the will, her expression wandering.
Hall was prepared for this: "It's both, but it's just my personal favorite, you don't need to be influenced by me. I think your acquisition of the Canary Wharf site is a particularly good investment, as well as Unilever, Rio Tinto......
The reason why he gave most of the first money he earned last year to his family was to share risks and allocate assets reasonably.
He played finance on Wall Street with more than ten times leverage, and he lost a lot of money after one failure; Her old mother made traditional investments, such as Canary Wharf, which has been rumored to develop the core of the economy, and left it untouched, and naturally grew to a few decades later, which can increase the assets of the Hall family more than ten times.
In short, Hall doesn't intend to keep the family business in line with his own. Helena took out part of her cash flow and bought enough funds from AEC.
…………
Hall stayed at home in the country manor for a few days, drinking afternoon tea with his mother every day, repairing flowers and plants, practicing piano, cello, and painting...... Helena says that his art has degraded too much and is completely polluted by the flowery world of New York...... By the way, I perfected the first version of the will, and communicated with some friends about the small talk I heard in the Mellon study......
Time flies, and it's the middle of June in the blink of an eye.
Mother and son left for the town of Windsor to attend the graduation ceremony of Yinton College.
Unexpectedly, Hall took the stage to speak as a representative of the graduates.
The stars were shining in the audience: Earl Byron, an old-school aristocratic leader, former Prime Minister Douglas Holm, and Timothy Lesen, MP and Minister of the Interior...... Future Prime Ministers David Cameron and Bao Zhongtang ......
Outstanding alumni who have achieved fame or have a promising future, powerful parents of students, and representatives sent by the royal family, the seventy-year-old prince and his wife.
「…… My life at Yinton College has taught me a lot. I feel the legacy left by generations of pioneers, and I also leave more ...... for future generations For example, sitting on the carpet in the hallway of the dormitory and chatting with classmates, or the sword in the kendo club...... Thank you for all the glory this school has given me, and I hope I can be the pride of this school."
Hall's gaze scanned the audience, and finally stopped at Principal Astor, "In the end, the teacher's grace is always in my heart, and I dare not forget it."
"Whoa!"
There was strong applause from the audience, and Principal Astor made a rare appearance.
Although British Steel will not be officially sold until the annual meeting of parliament in November this year, the Hall family will be able to cash in on the harvest and have an explosive increase in revenue.
But after he finishes this term, he can start his career and take office, and he has been a party money bag for ten years, and he finally got out!
96.
