Universal Building.

Lin Ruihai came to Lin Zhichao's office and said, "Dad"

When there is no one, the sons also call him 'dad' in the company, and when there are people, they call him the company position, such as chairman and general manager.

Lin Zhichao nodded, and then looked at himself, the eldest son in the second room, with the shadow of his eldest brother Lin Ruihuan, but there is still some little pride in his personality, which is embodied in dealing with people, and is a little 'arrogant'.

Of course, this is not to say that it is a shortcoming, it can only be said to be a minor flaw.

There is also an advantage, he regards Lin Zhichao as an idol and his eldest brother as a 'competitor', so he has high requirements for himself everywhere; even in marriage, he is not willing to lag behind his eldest brother, and find a girl that his parents like, and he has completed his marriage in May this year. The girl is a rich girl in Hong Kong, with study abroad experience and a bachelor's degree, and a proper standard daughter-in-law.

Lin Ruihai is currently the most educated person in the Lin family, having obtained a master's degree from the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom at the age of 22. After returning to work for two years, he was appointed President and Executive Director of Asia Shipping and also held a management position in the Global Group.

In fact, he was promoted faster than his eldest brother!

This also means that Lin Zhichao has to put more energy into entrusting more ministers to live and teach this kid.

"Asia Shipping's fleet has expanded to 2.3 million tonnes, what do you think is going to happen next?" Lin Zhichao asked.

Lin Ruihai knew that this was his father testing himself, and he immediately cared about it, and he longed for his father's approval. Therefore, he began to think a lot in his mind - Global Shipping and Universal Shipping have not built new large ships in batches for many years, and only have some small investments; However, Asia Shipping has been building ships, raising hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the peak of the stock market, which is also used as shipbuilding funds.

After some analysis, Lin Ruihai said: "I think that since Global Shipping and Universal Shipping have stopped shipbuilding, but Asia Shipping is a listed company after all, it can consider increasing the total tonnage to 3 million tons, and with the help of the platform of Global Group, it is not difficult to lease it out for a long time." I know my father is worried about the risks of shipping and going downhill, but there is no obvious sign that yet, so we can use the stock market to raise funds and order three or four more VLCC tankers one after another. ”

At present, the total deadweight of Global Shipping and Universal Shipping is 18 million tons, Huaxing Container has 18 container ships (listed companies, accounting for 65% of the shares), Asia Shipping has a deadweight of 2.3 million tons (listed companies, most of the oil tankers, a small number of bulk carriers), Longfeng International has a deadweight of 1 million tons (oil tankers), and some small joint venture shipping companies (accounting for one-third of the shares) are not counted.

In fact, Lin Zhichao still controls a fleet of more than 23 million tons, and his status as the world's king of ships remains very sufficient.

And Bao Yugang is only three or four million tons, Dong Haoyun is also seven or eight million tons, and Zhao Congyan is also one or two million tons. Of course, they are all still expanding, and Lin Zhichao has not launched a batch of ships for five years, during which only a few scattered ships have been launched to replace the scrapped ships.

Hearing Lin Ruihai's words, Lin Zhichao was noncommittal, after all, he was not a traverser, how could he have the same idea as Lin Zhichao, to be honest, Bao Yugang, Dong Haoyun and others did not know that Lin Zhichao had not ordered ships in bulk for a long time, but everyone had their own opinions.

The world's merchant ships are about four or five hundred million tons, and even if the rate of return is only 15%, there are a large number of people who are willing to invest.

"Just do what you think!" Lin Zhichao said directly.

Since it was his son's idea, he could afford to play again, so he followed Lin Ruihai's opinion. The debt ratio of Asian shipping was not high, and by 1979, Lin Zhichao had also interfered with the sale of ships.

Shipping had problems from 1978, but it was only in 1980 that it began to really decline, and it was not until 1985 that it was a cold period. There is a process in the middle, even if the ship was sold in 1980, it would not be sold at the price of cabbage. After all, there are still people who built ships in 1980, such as Dong Yunhao and Zhao Congyan in their previous lives.

Lin Ruihai nodded happily!

Subsequently, Lin Zhichao said: "I recently plan to secretly buy the shares of Wharf Group, and you will join this team later!" ”

Lin Ruihai was suddenly shocked, looked at his father, and said cautiously: "Dad plans to let the Global Group maliciously acquire the Wharf Group?" ”

Lin Zhichao smiled: "What a hostile takeover, you kid can't speak!" At that time, Hongkong Land took the lead in the hostile takeover of the dairy company. And if we buy the Wharf Group, it is called 'Chinese capital vs. British capital', in short, at a deeper level, you don't care about it first, and learn from me seriously. You are smart and smart, but you are a little arrogant, and you have no long-term grassroots experience, I hope you will settle down well. ”

Lin Ruihai was stunned for a moment, then blushed, he didn't dare to refute with his father, so he said, "I listen to my father!" ”

Lin Zhichao saw that the matter had been opened, so he said seriously: "You have been obedient since you were a child, and you also have the idea of competing with your eldest brother, I understand your thoughts, this is a friendly and fair competition." But I just said that I hope you will pay attention to it, put in a little arrogance, and be a little calmer. In the second room, you are the eldest son, and you will be Ruicheng's brother in the future, especially the global group has no plans to break up, what should you do, think about it yourself! ”

Lin Ruihai lowered his head, listened to Lin Zhichao's words, and said sincerely: "I know!" ”

There is also Xu Caiying's problem, she is happy all day, and her psychological counseling for her son is not as careful as Tang Caiyun.

Of course, Lin Ruihai's problem is not big, and it can even be said that it is not a problem, but Lin Zhichao is strict.

Fortunately, these children listen to him very much, regard Lin Zhichao as an idol, and respect them in their hearts, otherwise it will be easy to 'make a big filial piety'.

In the matter of the secret purchase of Wharf, Lin Zhichao plans to use Global Shipping, a non-listed company, to do it, and first win 20% of the equity in one year and then have a showdown.

However, it is not possible to make a big move recently, because the current shares of the Wharf Group are not diversified enough, and the total share capital is only 85 million shares, so the range must be small this year, and it will be possible to start increasing efforts next year.

At least in October next year, it will be revealed.

On the weekend, Lin Zhichao and his three wives vacationed on a superyacht, and Audrey Hepburn also came from the United States to reunite.

Although the three wives are all in their forties, they are actually young wives in their thirties, and they are still very beautiful and attractive. The trio boldly dressed in bikinis today and rested on the chairs on the deck, which was very charming.

At most, there are female bodyguards and maids on the deck, so there is no need to worry about exposure. Of course, Lin Zhichao didn't enjoy the behavior on the deck, after all, he could still control himself.

Lin Zhichao admires the three wives, and in his eyes, love still occupies the main part, and this way of keeping it fresh is really peculiar. In addition to the fact that everyone is not often tired of being together, Lin Zhichao feels that he occasionally picks wildflowers, and then goes back to picking house flowers, which is also a way to keep fresh.

Of course, now he doesn't pick much wildflowers, after all, Zhao Yazhi, Lin Qingxia, and Guan Jiahui are also 'family flowers', and they are Lin Zhichao's second echelon.

He likes to layer layers of armor, which is safer.

He also found that Lin Qingxia and Xu Caiying are somewhat similar, extremely beautiful with some heroism; Guan Jiahui should be somewhat similar to Tang Caiyun in the future, she is the kind of charming and beautiful woman; So the future Li Jiaxin, of course, is similar to Audrey Hepburn, with Western elements. As for Zhao Yazhi, there doesn't seem to be any positioning.

In this way, Lin Zhichao went around and around, as if he was looking for a 'replica' of his three wives again. Of course, everyone still has their own characteristics, but there are some psychological analogies.

Lin Zhichao came to Tang Caiyun's chair, then hugged her and lay down together. Xu Caiying and Audrey Hepburn on both sides are not surprising, after all, Tang Caiyun is a big house, and occasionally Lin Zhichao will also deliberately take care of the big house.

Tang Caiyun is 47 years old this year, and if you look closely, she is in her early thirties, with a plump body and fair skin, giving people a very healthy beauty; With a classical, gentle face, a proper Wangfu appearance.

The Lin family without her may be a different scene, at least the family will not be so harmonious, and it will definitely affect Lin Zhichao's career.

Tang Caiyun lay comfortably in Lin Zhichao's arms!

"Wanzhu will graduate from college next year, what are you going to do?"

The eldest daughter Lin Wanzhu, Xu Caiying, is the sixth in the family.

Xu Caiying on the side hurriedly said: "Sister, I am Wanzhu's biological mother!" ”

Tang Caiyun smiled: "Oh, I forgot about this, and I thought I was her biological mother!" ”

Xu Caiying responded: "Huizhu has also been close to me since I was a child, and I have always thought that the little princess is my own daughter!" ”

Audrey Hepburn on the side was already very proficient in Chinese, and she also knew some of the profundity of Chinese, so she immediately mixed in: "The two little princesses seem to meet me more now, and they are also very close to me!" ”

Lin Wanzhu and Lin Huizhu are both studying in California, and they went to California to study after graduating from high school (Form 7), with Audrey Hepburn as their guardian in the United States. Audrey Hepburn has always had some regrets that she didn't have a daughter, so she likes Wanzhu and Huizhu very much, and often goes shopping together.

Everyone laughed, and everyone was very satisfied with their current life, home and everything.

Lin Zhichao waited for everyone to be quiet before saying: "I asked her opinion, she wants to join the Uniqlo company and do the clothing industry." Since she is interested, I will train her well, and I may be able to help me in the future. ”

The women know that their men have not said about succession over the years, but have said 'help themselves', and they also know that their men are in good health, obviously 48 years old, but they are stronger than young people in their twenties and thirties.

Tang Caiyun said: "It's good! The daughter is also her own child, and it is a good thing to have the ability to help the family. ”

Lin Zhichao said at this time: "Regarding the inheritance of the children, I will communicate with you today, these enterprises will definitely be passed on to them in the future, but they will be inherited in the form of 'father-son trust funds'." For example, if Cheung Kong Group intends to pass it on to Ruihuan, then I may set up a trust fund five years after he becomes the general manager, and the shares of Cheung Kong Group will be included in this trust fund. And the beneficiaries of this trust fund are me and Caiyun, Ruihuan, and Ruihuan's children."

It is equivalent to that Lin Zhichao just handed over the business to the son to be inherited, and each son will be equivalent to a 'branch family', and his descendants will rely on this 'trust fund' to operate the inherited business, as for the family established by Lin Zhichao, it will be passed on forever with the family office and family trust as the link.

In fact, the Rockefellers, the Morgan family, these ancient families, they are almost the same.

Tang Caiyun said: "Husband, we all know your body, actually"

Lin Zhichao interrupted with a smile: "I have worked for so many years, so naturally I also want to be more relaxed. And under this model, I am equivalent to having completed the succession of the company, but in fact, I will still be the chairman of the board of directors, and give them advice at critical moments, especially major decisions, which only I can correct. I don't want them to expand their business, I just want them to keep what I've built. ”

The three daughters were relieved that this model was really impeccable, their children also got the inheritance of the business, and their husbands could always retain the highest decision-making power.

"Can a daughter inherit a business?" Tang Caiyun asked tentatively.

Although she is a woman, she is still more traditional in her heart.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "If you have the ability, you can inherit part of the equity, but you will not inherit all the shares in my hand." For example, I own 70% of Uniqlo companies, and I will give them up to one-third, and the remaining two-thirds can be given to the third generation of the Lin family in the future. ”

Although the daughter is better than the younger sister, after all, her descendants are called grandsons, how can they be passed on!

Tang Caiyun immediately said: "Well, your body is so good, the third generation can be cultivated as an adult." I have no opinion on this! ”

Xu Caiying said: "I have no opinion, just don't treat my daughter badly, I have shares, my father is willing to cultivate her, and I should be satisfied." ”

Audrey Hepburn was speechless for a moment, and rarely retorted: "If I have a daughter, I will definitely let her and her son compete fairly!" ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "You don't come often, you Europe and the United States are boys first, and some aspects are more traditional." ”

Audrey Hepburn suddenly had nothing to say, it was true, only when there was no son, or the son could not support the wall, European and American entrepreneurs would also consider their daughters. It can only be said that it is relatively open-minded, but not absolutely.

"Actually, I can still give birth!" She whispered.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "No! In case I have a son, I have to worry about training, I don't want to do this! ”

The three women can definitely still give birth, after all, the physical function is only in their early thirties, but he will never ask again, in order to cultivate these nine children, he has been 'guarding like jade' for decades, and he does not dare to pick wildflowers.

Tang Caiyun said: "Then my husband doesn't plan to give women outside a chance!" ”

In an instant, the three women joined in and began to pay attention to the topic.

They all know that Lin Zhichao has been raising one or two in the past few years!

Lin Zhichao did not flinch this time, and said: "There is already a woman pregnant (Zhao Yazhi), and I plan to ask for it too!" ”

The three girls were silent for a moment.

Lin Zhichao continued: "What I can promise you is that the existing enterprises give our children, and I will not give any to others; Other than that, my relationship with you will not change. But you also know that I have a superhuman body, and I have wanted to try to be younger in the past few years, and it is inevitable that I will be accompanied by two or three lovers, but the wealth they have obtained is all obtained by me directing them to speculate in real estate and stocks, and the children will be free from the family in the future. With all that said, if you give me a temper again, I won't be so easy to talk to! "In the end, there was a faint threat.

Tang Caiyun quickly squeezed into Lin Zhichao's arms, and then said gently: "When did we lose our temper, it's just that you didn't think about letting a woman outside conceive a child before, and now you can't react." ”

Xu Caiying and Audrey Hepburn had already gotten off the recliner and squatted on both sides, looking at Lin Zhichao with flattering eyes.

This status is definitely much better than Mr. Shen in a TV series!

Lin Zhichao said: "Anyway, don't make trouble, I am absolutely measured!" Also, you will help me to establish a positive image in front of my children in the future. Got it? ”

"Understood!"

Lin Zhichao became satisfied, looked at the three bikini delicate bodies, suddenly got up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the room to discuss, whether our relationship is deep enough." ”

The three girls immediately hugged Lin Zhichao and went to the bedroom.

"Husband, you were so scary just now!" Xu Caiying took the opportunity to coquettishly say.

"It's not to scare you, but I'm using my family privileges!"

"Hmm"
