In early June, on the balconies of London residents' homes, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn were waiting for the float for the Queen's parade. Today is the day of the Queen's coronation, and the road under the balcony is crowded with people on both sides, and a large number of soldiers separate the parade passage in the middle.

Under the arrangement of Lin Zhichao's partner Willis, they rented the best balcony for the best view, and the unit price was £1,000, which can be described as the most expensive ticket.

"People are so happy!" Lin Zhichao sighed.

He could see that Londoners were genuinely supportive of the royal family.

Maybe there is also a fan effect in this era, after all, the queen is so beautiful, and she has been on the battlefield in World War II, and there is no bad news.

Willis said with a smile on the side: "It is true that everyone is expecting that the young queen can bring new hope to the country." After World War II, Britain was still crumbling and languishing, and a new queen was exactly what war-weary Britain and the wider Commonwealth needed. ”

After speaking, there was a hint of glory on his face.

Lin Zhichao was noncommittal, he hugged Audrey Hepburn and whispered: "You are also the queen in my heart!" ”

Audrey Hepburn turned around and said, "Don't talk nonsense, beware of being laughed at!" ”

To tell the truth, Lin Zhichao is just coaxing women, it is impossible for him to marry Audrey Hepburn, after all, how can a star marry home! No matter how big the wrist is, isn't it still a play!

Putting aside that kind of thinking, marrying a Hollywood actress and going home is not for people to visit or something, exposed to the media, which is different from Lin Zhichao's low-key personality.

Willis said on the side: "Miss Audrey's beauty is not lost to Her Majesty the Queen at all, and it is good luck that Mr. Lin can catch up with you." Of course, Mr. Lin is the future king of the world, and Miss Audrey is really a talented woman. ”

He is not disgusting, and he blows wildly at Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn. Of course, Willis regards Lin Zhichao as the God of Wealth, although there is less cooperation now, but Lin Zhichao used to buy about thirty ships in his hands, and he received nearly one million dollars in commissions alone.

After a while, Hepburn excitedly pointed to the distance and said, "The golden carriage is the queen's car!" ”

A carriage made of pure gold, drawn by six horses, surrounded by many guards or knights.

It does look very impressive, only people who have reached Lin Zhichao's status will feel - they will not feel enjoyable at all, can the carriage made of gold be shockproof? And keep smiling all the time, do you get cramps in your face?

At the end of the day, he doesn't like this cumbersome lifestyle, which is more about responsibility.

The carriage was slow enough for crowds on either side to admire, and the queen waved to his people from time to time. Lin Zhichao's eyes are very good, and he can clearly see the beautiful queen sitting in the carriage, as for the man next to him, who cares about him? That man is replaced by any European prince, as long as he does not cause scandals, it has the same effect - a vase.

"I really envy their love!" Audrey Hepburn turned around and said deliberately.

Lin Zhichao said in a low voice: "There is no need to be envious, there is no cat in the world that does not steal, not to mention in that depressing situation, I don't believe that we will discuss this topic in the future." You see, I'm a prophet and a philosopher. ”

According to the grapevine, the prince has experienced more than thirty lovers, but more precisely - he can only go shopping, not buy, because he has no money and no ability to 'buy'.

Therefore, mental derailment is said to be more reliable.

Audrey Hepburn has been completely co-opted by Lin Zhichao's PUA, so the two can discuss these things at this time.

"I believe in you!"

Audrey Hepburn suddenly said softly, she has been PUA to Lin Zhichao, just like when Lin Zhichao told the script, she would star in three years; And the next Oscar for Best Actress, she is already seen as her own, although the movie has not yet been released (September).

"Of course, it's more about responsibility. Just like me, I will also have a responsibility to you, and my responsibility is to make you beautiful all the time, to do what you want to do, where you want to go. ”

Audrey Hepburn suddenly leaned on Lin Zhichao's arms, feeling a sense of security.

For Lin Zhichao, it is regarded as marrying a concubine, Audrey Hepburn is not the kind of person who commemorates the entertainment industry, and it is not a problem to retreat bravely. Of course, Lin Zhichao also supports her to occasionally appear in a movie.

As for whether there will be scandals in the future, Lin Zhichao will not be worried, if he wants to be the king of the world, how can he not have scandals?

Onassis's female companion is also constantly changing, and even married Kennedy's widow Jacqueline.

Willis on the side was dumbfounded, what kind of charm did this Chinese have, after turning a European nobleman, he was dizzy. But when he thought about it, Lin Zhichao was really a legendary Chinese, and he was very powerful in all aspects of his conversation. He used to regard Lin Zhichao as a small boat owner and have a more arrogant attitude, but now he only knows how to tie up with Lin Zhichao.

The next day, Lin Zhichao flew to West Germany with Audrey Hepburn and arranged her in a hotel, while he and his subordinates went to Bourne Machinery for inspection. With the imminent relaxation of the Hong Kong embargo, Lin Zhichao has also begun to lay out the zipper industry, intending to compete with Japan's YKK zipper.

"Lin, I'm glad to see you here again in Bourne Machinery!" Gauss greeted happily.

His development in recent years has not been very smooth, the development of textile machinery has been slow, and zipper machinery has also encountered many competitors, and the largest customer is Changjiang Industry.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao seems to have become his hope. Originally, in the past few years, he thought that the Yangtze River zipper would be dragged down by the embargo, but he didn't expect the Yangtze River zipper to survive tenaciously, and the business is still rising steadily.

"Manager Gauss, I'm here this time, but I want to work more closely with you."

"Oh, of course, that's a good thing!"

Gauss first happily agreed.

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao came to Gauss's office, and the two talked officially.

Changjiang Industry has always had a team cooperating with Bourne Machinery, so Lin Zhichao also knows Bourne Machinery very well.

So soon, Lin Zhichao went straight to the topic: "Manager Gauss, I don't know if I can take a stake in Bourne Machinery and strengthen our cooperative relationship?" ”

Gauss was surprised, and then said: "Mr. Lin wants to buy Bourne Machinery?" ”

Lin Zhichao shook his head and said: "It's a shareholding, 51% of the shares are enough, and it's still up to you to manage and practice people." And I can tell you that with the development of the world economy, the demand for zippers is soaring day by day, so I think Bourne Machinery specializes in producing all kinds of machinery for us, which is definitely better than the current development prospects. Moreover, we also need other machinery in Changjiang Industry, and Bourne Machinery can be developed and produced together. ”

Gauss pondered for a long time before he said: "What machinery needs will you have in the future?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "First of all, the demand for the zipper industry is very strong, not smaller than your current business; Secondly, we can also produce various machinery such as injection molding machines, wig-making equipment, toy equipment, etc., which can be sold not only to Cheung Kong Industries, but also to other factories in Hong Kong. ”

Gauss said: "In other words, Bourne Machinery became a vassal of Yangtze River Industry. ”

Lin Zhichao thought for a while and said, "That's the case. But as far as I know, Bourne machinery is not very good, and I can give you a good price. And it is guaranteed that Bourne Machinery will develop better than it currently has. ”

At the head of the company, he bought Bourne Machinery, but wanted Gauss to work for him, and of course retained 49% of Gauss's shares. He did not want to control Bourne Machinery, but just wanted to save machinery costs, as well as targeted research and development and investment in the machinery required by Changjiang Industry.

Gauss still has concerns, but he also understands that since Lin Zhichao has come to talk about cooperation, he is afraid that there is also a plan to replace Bourne Machinery; At that time, the loss of this big customer will make it even more difficult for Bourne Machinery. And if it is 51% shareholding, Bourne Machinery has a lot of funds to expand the scale, which seems to be a good thing.

"I prefer to cooperate with the Five Five-Year Plan rather than become a vassal, and moreover, half of the shares will be financed, and half will be exchanged for the shares of Yangtze River Zipper." Gauss thought of a solution that would benefit him.

He has also been keen on the zipper business, but unfortunately he is not good at zipper production, and he is very optimistic about Lin Zhichao.

Of course, Lin Zhichao could not agree to this plan, but he still compromised and said: "The Yangtze River Zipper cannot sell shares to you, but considering that the Yangtze River Zipper needs to avoid the European trade fortress in the future, if we build a factory in Europe in a few years, we can choose to cooperate with you to invest in the zipper business, and there is no problem with the distribution of five or five shares." ”

With the popularity of zippers, zippers will no longer fight price, but quality. It is also inevitable to build a factory in Europe, because it can avoid trade risks, and of course, the factory does not need to invest too much.

Gauss thought about it again and gave Lin Zhichao a reply, that is, he could accept his capital as a shareholder and accept the Fifth Five-Year Cooperation Plan.

Lin Zhichao did not force 51%, after all, Gauss was also worried that he would annex Bourne Machinery.

Probably the idea is agreed, and the next step, of course, is to hand it over to the subordinates and the lawyer.

However, Lin Zhichao still had the idea of cooperation, so he said: "Manager Gauss, do you know that during World War II. That doll? ”

Gauss was stunned for a moment and said, "I've just heard about it, but I don't know the specifics. Mr. Lin asked what this is for, could it be that you still want to produce adult dolls? ”

Lin Zhichao explained with a smile, and then said: "I want to work with you to invest in a toy company that owns a redesigned 'Bier Lily' doll that can be sold in bars, hotels, etc., or in stores." ”

Gauss was very interested in Lin Zhichao's idea, and he felt that the doll would definitely be popular in Europe, so the two planned to discuss cooperation in detail.

"Mr. Lin, can you produce such a hard rubber doll?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Whether it is the general image, or the technology and process of production, we can already achieve it." It's just that I thought that if such a doll wants to sell well in Europe, of course, you have to choose a local partner, so I thought of you. ”

The implication is that if you don't need a local partner, you can eat alone.

Gauss said with a smile: "Indeed, if the doll wants to sell well in Europe, at least there must be channels, marketing and other plans, and you and I can solve such troubles by cooperating with me." ”

He also said that he was not a decoration.

But in any case, this time Lin Zhichao was only willing to give up 49% of the shares, and the two sides contributed according to the proportion of shares.

Gauss thought to himself, such a cooperation is not bad, he does not need to think about production, he only needs to participate in the redesign and marketing of this doll. What's more, he feels that Lin Zhichao is good at business, and the cooperation between the two will definitely achieve good results.

"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you!"

If he doesn't want to, Lin Zhichao can only find other people, he still has acquaintances in Europe.

After reaching a cooperation intention with Gauss, Lin Zhichao did not stay in Germany for too long, and everything was handed over to his subordinates. At present, the Yangtze River Industrial Group has begun to take shape, and the management of the group has also been formed, including the price of Bourne Machinery, which needs to be discussed slowly by his subordinates. As for the cooperation with the 'Bier Doll' company, it is also in the name of the Yangtze River Toy Factory, not in the name of a private person.

Once the shareholding in Bourne Machinery is completed, Changjiang Zipper will order 50 sets of various automatic rice rowing machines and other machines, of course, it will have to be delivered in two years; At the same time, small-scale production of non-metallic zippers must also be arranged, and investment in this area should be valued.

Today's Yangtze River zipper has an annual profit of more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars. It is expected that starting next year, the Yangtze River zipper will enter a period of rapid development.

The capital required to invest in Bourne Machinery is expected to be one million US dollars, so Changjiang Zipper needs to borrow a huge amount of five million Hong Kong dollars to cope with the next development investment, and the account originally had more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

The bigger the investment, the greater the return and, of course, the greater the risk.

In the hotel in London, Lin Zhichao hugged Audrey Hepburn in a princess dress, and a faint fragrance came from his nose.

"Honey, I've got another play, I hope you don't mind. I don't blame you for this, you yourself refused to let me get pregnant! Audrey Hepburn said cautiously.

Seeing her expression, Lin Zhichao was deeply shocked, her PUA is so powerful, she can make an independent actress attach so much importance to her own ideas.

"Dragon and Phoenix?"

It was Audrey Hepburn's turn to be shocked and said incredulously, "How do you know?" Could it be that you are really my lover in my previous life, and you came back with memories, so why did you marry a wife first? ”

Lin Zhichao hooked her nose and said, "Didn't you say that you like the comedy "Dragon and Phoenix" written by Samuel Taylor the most." So, I'm guessing. ”

Audrey Hepburn suddenly laughed, she didn't expect Lin Zhichao to remember it so clearly, it seemed that this man remembered every word of his own clearly. I don't know if it's because he has a great memory, or if he cares about himself very much.

"Do you care?"

Lin Zhichao said calmly: "Don't mind! And I won't mind what you think in the future, but"

Audrey Hepburn immediately asked, "But what?" She thought to herself that as long as this man gave himself a child, then she could reduce the shooting, unless she was particularly interested in the movie, she would not take it.

Lin Zhichao said seriously: "Maybe you will become a millionaire next year or the year after, so if you make movies in the future, you will invest in it yourself." ”

"Barbie?" Audrey asked.

She has always been very concerned about the Barbie doll that Lin Zhichao said, and she thinks it is a gift from Lin Zhichao to her, although the two have not yet established a partnership.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Yes, I am confident that Barbie will conquer the hearts of the world, and when the time comes, you will not be a millionaire, it is possible to be a multimillionaire." ”

Audrey Hepburn immediately approached, tilted her head and said: "Don't conquer the hearts of people all over the world, just conquer my hearts, dear, love me!" ”

After speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for Lin Zhichao.

And Lin Zhichao has recently discovered that he is becoming more and more interested in Audrey Hepburn, as if it is the brilliance brought by stars; I didn't think it was very powerful before, but now when I think of the princess of "Roman Holiday", I feel that Audrey Hepburn has a special aura.

This can also be understood why many celebrities can marry into wealthy families, of course, it is about the future generations.
