Villas by the sea in Los Angeles.

On the lawn, Lin Zhichao sat under a parasol, holding an American newspaper in his hand, and a table next to him was set with fruit and iced wine, and on the other side was Audrey Hepburn, who was seven months pregnant, and now the mother of 'Barbie'.

Audrey Toy Company has become a large toy company in the United States, and Barbie has become one of the most well-known toys in the United States, and Audrey Hepburn has also become the most legendary movie star in Hollywood; Because, she was the first to go from Hollywood Best Actress to become the favorite of American children.

Although the accusation of unmarried pregnancy has never stopped, this kind of thing has never been a problem. What's more, under the guidance of Lin Zhichao, Audrey Hepburn always pretends to be a good character of a 'strong woman' and a 'single mother', so this situation has made Barbie doll.

"Honey, you gave me $2 million, plus last year's $1 million dividend from Audrey, I've bought consumer stocks and technology stocks in the United States. So what's next? ”

Lin Zhichao put down the newspaper and looked at Lin Ruidong, who was playing football alone not far away, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Regardless of them, these stocks are long-term investments, probably up to seven or eight years."

He thinks this wave of U.S. stocks should be able to rise to around 1966, a year before the closure of the Suez Canal; And after the Suez Canal crisis in 1956, US equities were deflated for a year and a half.

Therefore, although Lin Zhichao does not know the market per share during this time, it is obviously 'buying the bottom' at this time, and in seven or eight years, the increase must be very gratifying, and a large number of dividends.

As for specific stocks, Lin Zhichao chose consumer stocks and technology stocks, such as Coca-Cola and Boeing. He is a long-term investor, and choosing stocks is of course choosing familiar stocks, which have more upside potential, and the important thing is that the dividends are definitely good.

Audrey Hepburn lay on her side on the chair, looked at Lin Zhichao with affection in her eyes, and said, "What do you always give me money for?" I have Audrey Toy Company, and I'm already very rich, and I've never had a Hollywood actress so rich! ”

Compared with other Hollywood actresses, Audrey Hepburn is indeed the most dignified and wealthy person, because she is the boss herself, and this boss is also the 'Barbie mother' who is loved by children all over the world.

Lin Zhichao said: "A little money! Moreover, it is because I think that U.S. stocks have the potential to be invested, so I give you money to invest. ”

Now the brand value of Audrey Toys Company is definitely worth tens of millions of dollars, because the annual profit is millions of dollars. Of course, the profit of the Yangtze River Toy Factory OEM Barbie doll is also relatively high, after all, this is Lin Zhichao's idea.

Audrey Hepburn didn't discuss this issue again, she felt that Lin Zhichao gave herself money in this way, and she seemed to be very happy to accept it.

"Can I trade stocks?"

Lin Zhichao said decisively: "Can't! Stocks are a kind of gambling, gambling is ten people nine people lose, so stocks are also 'seven losses, two draws and one win', such a low probability of winning, do you want to speculate in stocks? ”

Audrey Hepburn was dumbfounded, and said for a long time: "Then you must be the one who wins!" ”

The confident light on Lin Zhichao's face, she could feel it deeply.

"I'm a long-term investor, a value investor, and these companies are all established companies in the United States, and the dividends are enough to make a profit. What's more, I'm optimistic about the development of their company. ”

Audrey Hepburn nodded!

"Dear tomorrow Monroe will go to Audrey Toy Company to shoot an advertisement, and we are ready to officially co-brand Monroe and release a Barbie version!" Audrey Hepburn looked at Lin Zhichao with interest after speaking.

She knew that Lin Zhichao didn't pay much attention to Hollywood, but she asked Monroe a few questions. This shows that Lin Zhichao is concerned about Monroe.

Lin Zhichao said calmly: "It's good, this kind of cooperation is beneficial to both parties!" It's Audrey Hepburn's version, I don't think it necessarily needs to be released, or it will come out later! ”

Audrey Hepburn saw that Lin Zhichao was not fooled, and immediately said: "Don't you want to meet this beauty in Hollywood?" ”

Lin Zhichao said: "In this era, there are two beauties in Hollywood - Audrey Hepburn and Monroe (Monroe), since I have already got you, I naturally have little interest in the other one." What's more, I heard that Monroe, as an Oriental, doesn't like such a woman and is more conservative! ”

Audrey Hepburn felt a little proud in her heart, and immediately asked with a smile: "Those entertainment media are very annoying, and there are also scandals written about me, aren't you jealous?" ”

Indeed, Audrey Hepburn and many people have scandals, but Lin Zhichao knows that the scandal must be fake; But the style of Europeans and Americans, and Audrey Hepburn is a star, it is normal to have scandals, and he doesn't need to worry.

To put it bluntly, as long as Audrey Hepburn's remaining two sons are mixed-race, Lin Zhichao will not be careful to suspect anything.

"Monroe is passionate, like a bouquet of fire roses, it's normal to get into a scandal, and it doesn't have to be a scandal! And Audrey Hepburn is noble and cold, like a faint fragrance of jasmine, there is a little scandal, which comes from the profession of star. ”

Hearing Lin Zhichao's comments, Audrey Hepburn knew that he must want to see Monroe, so she took the initiative to arrange: "Honey, come to the company with me tomorrow, it's a big deal that I introduce you to you!" ”

When it came to this, Lin Zhichao could only reluctantly agree.

It's better to see each other after all, and you may not have the opportunity to meet in the future!

Following.

Audrey Hepburn and Lin Zhichao came to the headquarters of Barbie, which has become the headquarters of a large toy company, with sixty or seventy employees.

Today, Lin Zhichao's identity in 'Audrey Company' is an 'investor', 'partner', and 'shareholder', so some of the management know each other.

After chatting with President Richie for a while, a commotion came, and I knew that it was Monroe.

I saw that Monroe was very big, with two assistants and two bodyguards, and walked into the office building in a hurry.

Seeing Audrey Hepburn with a big belly, Monroe's face flashed with a trace of regret, and then quickly returned to normal, and greeted Audrey Hepburn like a fire rose.

"Hepburn, you're pregnant again, congratulations!"

Audrey Hepburn responded elegantly: "Thank you! I'm sorry for what happened to you, but I'm sure you can be a mother! ”

When Monroe heard this, regret resurfaced again, and said sadly: "Thank you for your blessings!" Being a mom is every woman's dream, and I admire your bravery. Then, she looked at Rich and Lin Zhichao, and then stared at Lin Zhichao.

Because, it is rumored that Audrey Hepburn's child is a mixed-race child (all rumors, in fact, there are no media photos as evidence), is it related to this man!

"Who is this?"

Audrey Hepburn introduced businessmanlikely: "It is our company's partner, Mr. Lin Zhichao from Hong Kong, and the Barbie dolls under our company are all produced in his factory. ”

Monroe's eyes moved back and forth on Audrey Hepburn and Lin Zhichao, and then took the initiative to stretch out her right hand and said, "Mr. Lin, thank you for producing Barbie dolls for the children of the world." ”

Lin Zhichao responded politely: "It's Miss Audrey who trusts me!" ”

Although she doubted the relationship between the two, Monroe quickly got into work and asked about the filming process.

The process of filming is to shoot the styling in a shooting studio, and then use it as a prototype for Barbie, of course, just one piece, and the rest can be used as an advertising poster.

During the whole process, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn stood together and got along naturally, but there was no intimate behavior.

In this era, the level of the 'paparazzi' is very poor, or it has not yet appeared, so the scandals of celebrities are all fabricated and do not need any evidence. For example, the scandal between Monroe and the Kennedy brothers was processed by later generations in order to make money, and in fact, no evidence has ever flowed out; Occasionally, some blurry photos, but they are just looking for someone P.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn do not plan to make it public, after all, this is the most beneficial, and both parties are used to this kind of life.

At this meeting, Lin Zhichao didn't have any thoughts about Monroe, and he wouldn't be confident to that extent. And Monroe's private life is not as unbearable as later generations said, it is impossible to cheat in marriage.

So after everyone was there, they chatted in the office for a while, and Monroe left with someone.

"Is it pretty?" Audrey Hepburn sat in the chairman's seat and asked with a smile.

"It's beautiful! However, it's a little worse than you! ”

Lin Zhichao was wandering around Audrey Hepburn's office, but he was actually rummaging for suspicious spy equipment. After all, Audrey Hepburn is a 'spokesperson', and the power of the company lies in the management team headed by Rich.

The only weapon that can counterbalance Rich's management is absolute equity, and he can be fired at any time. Of course, the two sides are quite happy to cooperate at the moment.

Audrey Hepburn looked at the skin of her arm, even if she didn't wipe anything, it was much better than Monroe just now.

In the villa.

Lin Xin'er circled around Audrey Hepburn, she never dreamed that her brother would actually get Audrey Hepburn. Even the nephew is three and a half years old, and he has one in his belly.

And Audrey Hepburn naturally likes Lin Xin'er very much, this is the first time she has seen Lin Zhichao's family, and the joy in her heart is self-evident.

Only Lin Zhichao couldn't help but say, "Lin Xin'er, what about your graduation certificate?" ”

This is the first person in the Lin family to graduate from college, although he is 25 years old after graduation, Lin Zhichao still attaches great importance to it.

Lin Xin'er stuck out her tongue, hurriedly took out her graduation certificate, and respectfully handed it to Lin Zhichao. She doubted that if she couldn't graduate, this brother wouldn't let her enter the house.

Here, Lin Zhichao stroked Lin Xin'er's graduation certificate, feeling slightly excited. The Lin family finally began to reorganize the glory of their ancestors again, although the level of this college student is far less than his grandfather's academic qualifications, but he is also a college student, and he can set a good example for his children.

Lin Xin'er graduated from college so many years later, because her previous education was taught by her father, and it was all Chinese; After coming to Hong Kong, I caught up step by step.

"How? I'm not ashamed of you! Lin Xin'er said happily.

"Well, don't embarrass me! When you go back, work hard and keep up the good work; Of course, interpersonal communication must also be opened, otherwise how can my brother-in-law know each other! ”

"Brother!"

Lin Xin'er was coquettish.

Of course, she is still in a very good mood, and her brother does not introduce people to herself, which means that he completely respects her ideas and is free to fall in love. It's a pity that she hasn't seen a boy who can make her heart move, maybe the people in her family are too good!

Of course, my brother is the best, and now even my eldest nephew has shown the ability to make her ashamed, he has graduated from the fifth grade at the age of nine, and his performance is very good, according to this trend, Lin Ruihuan will graduate from a prestigious school at the age of twenty, and then her aunt will really be ashamed.

Audrey Hepburn also picked up Lin Xin'er's graduation certificate, and her face also showed a look of envy, people who graduated from prestigious universities are liked wherever they go.

"Great!"

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Lin Xin'er's mouth was sweet, which made Audrey Hepburn happy, and then Lin Xin'er got a 'necklace' as a gift.

"Sister-in-law, next time you come to Hong Kong, I will be responsible for accompanying you, if my brother is not free during the day!" Lin Xin'er continued to pat her on the back.

She naturally has no complaints about her brother's behavior of hiding beauties, after all, her brother originally married two; What's more, when the two sisters-in-law learn about this kind of thing, they won't mess with their brother, she can see it.

In the Lin family, Lin Zhichao is the 'emperor', and everyone has to listen to him.

It is precisely because she knows how to get along that she pleases Audrey Hepburn and wants to give her a family care.

Sure enough, Audrey Hepburn said happily: "That's great, it's decided!" I love Hong Kong very much and will come back more often in the future. ”

Lin Xin'er chicks nodded like rice!

Only Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "Every time you come, I don't seem to accompany you." ”

He even bought a bungalow in Mid-Levels as Audrey He's original port residence.

Audrey Hepburn responded: "You're busy with work! ”

The implication is that every time she comes to Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao may spare at most one day to accompany her to walk around Hong Kong, and the rest will accompany her after work.

Lin Zhichao no longer argued, he was really busy with his work. On this visit to the United States, he first stayed in Los Angeles for three days, then flew to New York for a business trip, flew back to Los Angeles today, and had to return to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow.

It is mainly a matter of shipping, which consumes Lin Zhichao's energy the most, and he needs to go abroad often for investigation and contact.

For example, in the industrial field, Lin Zhichao only needs to plan a good product and then hand things over to his subordinates, and he only needs to supervise; As for the real estate sector, it is also relatively relaxed.

Of course, in the field of industry and real estate, it is because Lin Zhichao is more decentralized, and Tang Caiyun is now also involved in the specific work of Changjiang Industrial and has become an assistant to Lin Zhichao.

In this way, Audrey Hepburn can be regarded as officially becoming Lin Zhichao's 'third wife', as for whether she meets Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying or not, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, you can meet, and everyone will not make trouble.

At the end of June, Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong with Lin Xin'er.

When Lin Xin'er was studying abroad, he was also sent to the United States; Now that Lin Xin'er has graduated, he brought it back to Hong Kong again.

It can be seen that Lin Zhichao likes this sister very much, and in the future, Lin Xin'er's nephews may not be able to get this double treatment, they may be sent to study abroad at most, and they will have to come back by themselves when they come back.

As soon as she returned home, the enthusiasm of her two sisters-in-law and nephews made Lin Xin'er both happy and ashamed.

After all, she and Audrey Hepburn got along very happily and accepted the third sister-in-law from the bottom of her heart.

However, she quickly calmed down and reassured herself, and the two sisters-in-law would not say anything when they learned about this kind of thing.

During dinner, Tang Caiyun said: "Does Xin'er plan to rest for a while before going to work, or go to work immediately, and my sister-in-law will accompany you to work!" ”

As the chairman of the remuneration committee and assistant to the general manager, Tang Caiyun was originally the 'boss' in the company, Lin Zhichao is no longer there, and the senior management will also report some things to her. Although Tang Caiyun will not express too many opinions, she is like the 'queen' of London, and the prime minister has to report to her every week.

Lin Xin'er said: "I'll go to work tomorrow Monday, but sister-in-law, I don't want you to accompany me, otherwise I will really go to work as a 'big lady', and everyone will not be alienated from me at that time." I went directly to Manager Liang to report and asked him to arrange my formal position, anyway, everyone already knows each other, there will be no problem! ”

Liang Guangchang is the project manager of Miramar Hotels, which include Miramar Hotel (5-star) and Miramar Shopping Center, which are definitely standard for large enterprises, and although they are still under construction and planning, there is still a lot of work.

Tang Caiyun said with a smile: "This girl is quite strong, so it's okay, your brother has high hopes for you, and my sister-in-law won't hold back." ”

"Why! Thank you, sister-in-law! ”

Xu Caiying looked at this scene, no one pinched Lin Xin'er's little face, and said, "We two sisters, you really don't save face for me." My grades in study are better than mine, and even my work is better than mine! ”

Lin Xin'er was no longer the quiet she was at the beginning, she gently knocked off Xu Caiying's hand and said, "Second sister-in-law, we are not sisters, you are my sister-in-law!" ”

Good guy, there is quite a plot of the afterlife - I treat you as a good sister, but you want to be my sister-in-law.

Xu Caiying is a mother after all, and she is embarrassed to look too much in front of the children, so she said: "That classmate is always true!" ”

Everyone laughed! (End of chapter)
