Chapter 309 Chapter 308, Old Money and New Money, Each Has Its Own Way (4K)

Without replying to Li Kexin for the time being, Lin Chu was still somewhat surprised when he looked at the information about the "Habsburg" family on the Internet.

From the sixth century AD to the nineteenth century AD.

More than 1,300 years.

Throughout the long history, the Habsburg family has been active throughout the European continent. Although they are not well-known now, their status is probably equivalent to... It's like greeting someone in China:

"What's your name, brother?"

"Surname Ying."

"Wow, Qin Shi Huang is your ancestor?"

"Yeah. (covering face)"

Of course, in today's society, what matters most is political and economic status.

Bloodline and status, that’s all old news.

However, in places like Europe, there is often still a certain market.

After all, it’s old money!
Lin Chu doesn’t think that old money is better than new money.

However, the main reason is that it has been developed for a long time and has a profound foundation in all aspects.

It's like comparing a fresh graduate with a mature and wealthy middle-aged man...what are they comparing?
Take myself for example. I am 24 years old this year and my 25th birthday will be soon. In another 30 years, when I am 55 years old, I really don’t know how much assets I will have.

It is not impossible to reach the level of the legendary "Rosfeld Family".

Of course, the premise is that the person is fine.

Simultaneously.

Sometimes, Lin Chu would reflect on whether he had become a creature who only knew how to make money, and felt alienated by capital.

But then I thought, it’s not that I took big steps, it’s just that I still have the spirit.

Moreover, the time is right.

After a few more years, "our mother" became the world's largest company, but I didn't get on the bus during this journey. Looking back, I must have regretted it so much that I would slap myself hard twice when I woke up in the middle of the night!
How can adding icing on the cake be as fragrant as sending charcoal in the snow?
Do it!

Let’s roll up our sleeves and get to work!

At least, in the field of high-end luxury goods, we have to completely fill the domestic "market gap".

It can be regarded as a small contribution to the rise of a great country.

Thoughts return to the present.

Lin Chu looked at the message sent by Li Kexin, smiled slightly, and replied casually: "Now? What do the main heirs of Habsburg do?"

A hero should never brag about his past achievements.

First V50 billion and see the strength.

Anyway, I haven't heard of it.

The world's richest people range from Microsoft to Amazon, to LV, to Tesla... but I've never heard of the Habsburg family.

Of course, if it really is that kind of hidden tentacle monster, then... I would have to have a good contact with it.

For these so-called top families...

Lin Chu’s current thinking is that there is an element of rumor, but there is definitely an element of truth as well.

However, things change over time, and no family can stay at the top forever.

Of course, sudden death is also difficult.

There is actually not much difference in wealth between the world's 100th and the world's number one.

However, depending on how the world develops and what outstanding figures and geniuses emerge among future generations, they may be able to seize the right opportunity and restore the family's former glory.

This is the reason why having many children means more blessings.

There are so many births, and although most of them may be ordinary people, or even fools, if there are one or two outstanding ones, the country can stand up again.

This point is worth learning from and can serve as the core part of your reproductive philosophy.

now.

Li Kexin, who was in Dubai, was speechless for a moment when she saw the news.

Uh.

It's fallen.

A fallen aristocrat.

In fact, the direct blood relatives of the Habsburgs had long been lost in the long river of history due to "close relationship reasons".

The political power that once existed was completely destroyed under the impact of the emerging class.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although the one that still exists is only a branch, it can be considered as one of the top 100 business empires in the whole of Europe.

Of course, the company is powerful, that’s the company.

For me personally, Lin Chu is obviously the one who is easier to approach.

It is almost impossible for Chinese people to reach the top level in such a family business, and even the middle level is quite difficult.

But, if you make friends with the super rich Lin Chu, then it will be different.

With a hint of flattery, Li Kexin quickly replied: "There are currently three core members of the Habsburg family."

"The patriarch of the family is named Karl von Habsburg. He is quite prestigious and has various honorary titles. He is a famous entrepreneur, philanthropist, vice chairman of the Pan-European Business Alliance, and a guest of honor at the Vatican. He is also the head of the Ostland Knights."

"Mr. Carl has a son and a daughter. His son is a racing driver and his daughter is a well-known jewelry designer."

Racing driver?
Jewelry designer?
Looking at these two identities, Lin Chu pursed his lips - what a waste of time.

But, maybe it’s not okay, that’s normal.

In a declining economic cycle, in a declining family, children with average qualifications can actually just live off their parents’ capital.

If you really try too hard, you will die faster.

"Okay, I get it. There's nothing else to do. Just tell them. If you have time, you can come visit me."

"If they don't have time, forget it."

Lin Chu thought for a moment and replied.

In less than half a month, he spent nearly 3 billion US dollars at the Habsburg Auction House. If they didn't visit such a big client, they simply didn't know how to do business.

Do I need to teach you this?

Li Kexin: …

Such a reply made her feel a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no problem.

"Okay, Mr. Lin, I will report your request as soon as possible, but the efficiency at the headquarters may be a little slow."

"If there's anything I can do for you personally, please let me know."

Li Kexin considered it carefully, first threw out a disclaimer, and then quickly took the job upon herself.

You know the character of the company very well.

Even the company's top executives may not care about such a big customer, but for myself, I do care!

"you?"

"I want to buy an internationally renowned luxury brand, or a sub-brand. Can you blend it?"

Lin Chu replied casually, shook his head and smiled, not caring.

It's not to provoke her.

On the contrary... welcome to be slapped in the face.

She was just a little female translator, and Lin Chu really didn't think she could be of any help.

What I told her was not one of my goals.

Long-term goal: acquire LV.

Short-term goal: buy a bank.

Li Kexin: Hmm.

This……

She didn't expect that Lin Chu's target would be so big. It was obvious...she definitely didn't have the ability to do it.

Still... I have to go through the family channel.

Suddenly.

An idea suddenly occurred to her.

"Mr. Lin, I personally don't have any connections or channels in this area at the moment."

"However, Habsburg has a specialized business intermediary agency in Paris that can provide headhunting and consulting services. If you need it, I can send you the contact information of the person in charge there."

Get on the line!
Must get on line!
Even if I can't directly participate in such a big event, as long as I can get in and make even a small contribution, it will be enough to make a living.

"Okay, send it to me."

Lin Chu did not refuse and agreed to it without hesitation.

Reform is taking place while action is being taken.

But it doesn't stop me from doing both. The agents must have their own connections, and as long as the money is in place, everything will be easy to talk about.

What kind of price, what kind of service you enjoy.

After getting Lin Chu's affirmative answer, Li Kexin thought about it again and again and finally locked on a middleman.

So, a phone call was made.

"Hello, Senior, how are you... I have an order from a billionaire, do you want to try your luck?"

The "senior" on the other end of the phone was the department manager of a business consulting company under the group company, and also her schoolmate, Wang Yuze.

For this kind of thing, of course you have to find your own people.

"Hmm? What's the list? Tell me about it?"

Wang Yuze's tone on the phone also seemed very interested.

Keyword: billionaire!

Li Kexin quickly described the situation, spending power, and demands to him in detail, but she didn't mention Lin Chu's name yet.

She is afraid of "jumping the queue".

“What a great project!”

"Sure, could you please send me Mr. Lin's contact information?"

Wang Yuze's voice was full of joy.

This kind of pie-in-the-sky thing is the most direct reflection of personal connections. He had a very deep impression of this schoolmate: she was pretty, capable, scheming, and reliable in her dealings with others.

"Okay, but how are you going to thank me?"

Li Kexin said in a leisurely voice, revealing a hint of mischief.

In front of Lin Chu, she was respectful and open-minded, but at this moment, she became restrained.

Of course, benefits cannot be empty talk, they must be fulfilled in a real way.

On the other end of the phone.

Hearing this, Wang Yuze was slightly stunned, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This matter has not even started yet.

Just an intention and you start asking for benefits?

However, seeing this big fish dangling before his eyes really made him itchy.

There was no anger in my heart.

On the contrary, it further confirmed the reliability of the news.

Li Kexin would never dare to use such a thing to defraud herself. Since she dared to ask for it, she must have the confidence to do so.

"Hahaha, this is inappropriate, right? Our company does not have the funds for this level of business."

"Let me guess... If it's the auction house's latest big client, then I think I have the answer. It's Mr. Lin, right?"

This kind of big order was no secret within the group. He had heard about it and after thinking about it, he roughly guessed it.

Hearing this, Li Kexin was not panicked, and still said with a smile: "Senior, you are really smart, but please guess why Mr. Lin told me this?"

Wang Yuze: …

For a moment, I was somewhat speechless.

Bitch!

Women have this advantage. They can influence the success of a big deal with just a little pillow talk.

Although he also had considerations in his mind that this bitch might be taking advantage of the power of others.

But I don’t dare to take the risk.

There are more than one manager like her in the company, and she can reveal the news to other managers at any time.

"Who else knows about this matter now?"

Wang Yuze took a deep breath and asked in a slightly serious tone.

"I'll look for you first... You're my senior, and although I know one of your directors, it's better to keep it to yourself."

"How is it? Do you feel the love of your junior sister?"

Li Kexin said in a light and soft tone.

It's almost done.

Based on her understanding of this senior, she was almost certain of her judgment.

"Hahaha, I felt it. Of course I felt it."

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

Wang Yuze was in a tense mood and asked in a relaxed tone.

"Hahaha... I'm just teasing you. Wait for me. I'm booking a flight now and will arrive in Paris tonight. Let's have dinner first and chat slowly."

At this time, Li Kexin restrained herself and did not discuss these things directly on the phone because the risk of uncertainty was too great.

If the other party records your conversation, submits it to the company, or even reports it, you will most likely be investigated.

"Okay, I'll wait for you then. I'll pick you up at the airport. Let me know when you've made the reservation."

Wang Yuze responded with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, his eyes couldn't help but become somewhat complicated.

This woman...

Quite difficult.

However, if the source of the news is true and can promote this project, the benefits will definitely be huge.

In the early stages, there is no problem even if you give her a little benefit.

Business, after all, is nothing more than picking fruits and sharing them.

……

Lin Chu naturally didn't know that his casual remark, which was half true and half false, and even a little joking, would lead to two more people in the world who were scheming against each other.

But even if they knew, they would probably just shake their heads and smile.

Don’t watch the process yourself.

It is also clear that everyone has his bad habits.

I am like this myself, so I cannot hold others to a higher moral standard.

In this matter, I only look at the results.

If you really have the ability and can help me get things done, then give me some money and give me some support.

……

Wandering among the luxury shops on the Champs-Elysées, Lin Chu casually compared them and discovered that the prices of the items sold here were much higher than those in China.

Even taking tariffs into account, it would be higher.

He's stupid and has a lot of money, right?

Wait till I buy you all!

At this time.

The phone suddenly rang.

Lin Chu took a look and saw that it was Bian Gaige calling, so he answered the call immediately.

I don’t know if there is any progress with the old professor.

"Mr. Bian, I'm Lin Chu, please go ahead."

He said this in a calm tone, and Lin Chu heard Bian Gaige's hearty laughter.

Ok?
good news?
"One good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Bian Gaige smiled with a hint of pride.

Lin Chu was speechless.

"Say it first."

"Okay, the good news is that after a morning of comprehensive comparisons and visits to key figures, I have basically determined that the success rate of our acquisition of the bank target this time is over 60%."

So fast?
Lin Chu was slightly surprised.

"Where's the bad news?"

"The bad news is that this bank has a very high bad debt rate. The requirement is that if they want to acquire it, they must acquire it in full. They need to take over nearly 2 billion US dollars in bad debts."

Lin Chu: …

He scratched his head.

Hey!
How is this bad news?

What's the big deal?
……
