The birth of the Hong Kong Island family
Chapter 404 [Empathy among Ship Kings]
night.
Audrey Hepburn walked into the bedroom wearing a princess dress, bowed slightly in front of Lin Zhichao, and then said elegantly: "Your Majesty the King, can I invite you to dance with me?"
Lin Zhichao smiled and put the book in his hand on the bedside table, then took Audrey Hepburn's hand, and with the sound of gentle music, the two danced in the large bedroom.
"Audrey, you are still so young!" Lin Zhichao praised.
"Really? Are you just trying to make girls happy?" Audrey Hepburn said happily.
Lin Zhichao smiled and said with a smile: "You say you are a girl, aren't you young enough?"
Audrey Hepburn said confidently: "I am still a girl, the girl I was twenty-five years ago, but I will not faint now because I will not give any other man a chance!"
Lin Zhichao was immediately very pleased. Isn't this a clear confession to him?
The relationship between the two is as good as ever. Of course, there are also two people who see each other every seven or eight months a year, and the time of each meeting is not certain. They may be together for a week or two, or they may only be together for a short three days. .
This way of getting along gives the two of them a sense of anticipation every time they go on a date.
In their relationship, love is still greater than family affection!
"Audrey, I am not a qualified husband and father. I can't help but be merciful. If time never..."
Audrey Hepburn didn't let Lin Zhichao say the next words, sealing it with her sexy lips, and the two felt each other's feelings.
After a long time, she said softly: "I like your romantic style. No matter how many women you have, I know you will love our three sisters the most. So, I don't want you to be ashamed!"
After all these years, they still knew that Lin Zhichao had some romantic relationships, but everyone had the same idea. If this man couldn't be controlled, they might as well let him go. Anyway, the three of them have firmly occupied a favorable position, so why bother.
Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Of course you are my most important relatives and women. You have at least half of the credit for the Lin family to be what it is today. It is all thanks to you that the children worship me as their father!" This is what Lin Zhichao has always been grateful to these three women for. They never allow their sons to disrespect their fathers, and they always say good things about Lin Zhichao in front of their children. All their behaviors are role models for women.
"You are our spiritual pillar, of course we all admire you!"
afterwards.
"By the way, I think that Cabbage Patch Doll is easy to make money, and I'm a little worried that Ruidong will screw it up! How about I turn it into a toy for Audrey and let him participate in it?"
"You don't trust your own son, so how can you do that?"
“Trust is trust, mainly because I think this project is too profitable.”
"Okay, let me come up with another plan for you!"
"real?"
"Let me tell you roughly, we invited cartoonists to conceive of a 'Pony Kingdom', the protagonist is called My Little Pony, and the background of the story. My Little Pony is an idealistic, curious, and brave female pony. But the whole story needs to break through and integrate education and information. wait"
Lin Zhichao simply came up with his ideas, and a professional team would naturally plan the rest. He didn't need to talk too much at all. After all, Audrey Company had great strength. On the contrary, if he talks too much, it will not have good results.
Audrey Hepburn said happily: "This theme is very good! And as long as it is a theme you conceive, there is no possibility of failure. You don't know, Hasbro has failed a product in the past two years, and the losses have been very heavy. !”
When talking about the experiences of her opponents, Audrey Hepburn did not show sympathy, but talked about business. Developing a new product requires a lot of investment - production lines, program promotions, marketing teams, etc. Even for a large toy manufacturer like Hasbro, if three projects fail, the company will be in trouble and may even go bankrupt. possible.
"Audrey Company is already huge, so there is no need to worry about failure. In the second half of this year, you can also let Audrey Company invest in some commercial real estate to increase the company's foundation and prevent assets from depreciating."
"Copying on low-priced office buildings?"
"Well, anyway, Audrey's company has a cash flow of hundreds of millions of dollars, and there is a large amount of cash inflow. This can avoid the depreciation of the account funds, and of course ensure the company's operation."
"I understand what you mean!"
Audrey Hepburn felt Lin Zhichao's broad chest with her delicate hands, and her face was filled with happiness.
"By the way, hubby, I have a very high net worth now. Whether it's Audrey's company or Audrey's investment, I have a very high net worth, especially Audrey's investment account with more than 300 million US dollars. So. , I especially want to give you a gift, what do you think of a private jet?"
Lin Zhichao was stunned for a moment and suddenly became excited!
"Really want to give it to me?"
"As you ask, isn't all my wealth yours?"
Lin Zhichao tickled Audrey Hepburn's nose. The woman enjoyed this action and thought that no matter how much she spent, it was not worth it.
"You reminded me! Taking advantage of the oil crisis, I really wanted to go to Boeing and order a Boeing 747 and then convert it into a private jet."
"I'll give it to you!"
"Well, I plan to fly it under the banner of Hong Kong Airlines. Just give me 25 million US dollars and I will buy it myself."
"Well, 25 million is not necessarily enough. After all, it still needs to be modified, so I'll give you 35 million US dollars!"
Lin Zhichao patted Audrey Hepburn's buttocks and said: "You woman, you can do it if you want to buy a private jet. Just give me 25 million US dollars to accept your wish. Your man's money, More than you can imagine.”
"It's different. No matter how much you have, it's all yours, and all the money I have is your gift, so..."
Talking about these things, the two soon fell asleep.
During his time in the United States, Lin Zhichao participated in many social events, including a meeting with Reagan. He had known Reagan for a long time. When he ran for governor of California, Audrey was his 'supporter' and took the opportunity to introduce Lin Zhichao to him.
Lin Zhichao has always only had contacts with these interpersonal relationships, but he will not make any demands. Some of them may not be used at all because his career has not yet been internationalized. However, Reagan's chess pieces and Thatcher's chess pieces will definitely be used in the future, because both of them were the bosses of the United States and Britain in the 1980s, and their terms lasted for ten years. In addition, the 1980s was when Lin Zhichao's career went global. .
On this day, Lin Zhichao stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York and welcomed two guests.
"Mr. Lin, this is my daughter Christina, she is 24 years old this year!" Onassis introduced Lin Zhichao.
After Lin Zhichao greeted the two of them, he invited them to sit down in his living room. This meeting was when Onassis heard that Lin Zhichao was in New York and took the initiative to make an appointment. Lin Zhichao met the two of them in the suite of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Onassis looked at the luxurious suite and sighed: "Mr. Lin seems to be very low-key, but he is a very classy man. You like to enjoy life as much as I do."
Lin Zhichao responded with a smile: "I am in the far East, and it is difficult for Western media to capture my activities, so there is less news. Of course, compared to Onassis's communication, I may still be insufficient."
In fact, Onassis tried every possible means to climb up the upper class society in the West, but Lin Zhichao actually made more useful friends than he did.
Onassis said: "You are as humble as ever." Then he pointed at Christina and said: "Mr. Lin, you are a trustworthy person and are praised by the world. My daughter and I admire you very much."
Lin Zhichao looked at Christina, who was 24 years old this year. Photos of her were circulated in later generations, but that was after she was tortured by a man. Now it seems that she is a very good Western beauty. You know, Onassis was handsome, and Christina's mother was a supermodel.
"Mr. Onassis deserves the award. When he dominated the shipping industry, I was still an unknown person. I got a lot of inspiration from him. Especially the 'Jeddah Agreement' that year seemed to be a failure, but in fact it was a failure. A great achievement, you shocked the whole West."
Compliment each other!
Onassis darkened and said in a low voice: "My son, Alexander, my only hope, died miserably."
The sadness of sending a person with white hair to a person with black hair is undoubtedly heavy.
Lin Zhichao could only say: "I heard about it, and I feel very sad about it. The fate is really unfair. But I also ask you to express your condolences and take care of your health!"
Onassis nodded, and then said: "I rarely ask for help in my life. Others say that Onassis is a madman. There is nothing he can't say and nothing he can't do. However, it is difficult to see Mr. Lin today. Open your mouth."
Lin Zhichao had some bad feelings in his heart, but he still said calmly: "Mr. Onassis, you are my elder in terms of age and in this industry. If you have anything to say, please just say it."
Onassis said: "I am old, Alexander, and that poor child has left me again. I want to give the business to Christine. However, she is young and ignorant. I want to ask your help, sir."
Lin Zhichao said: "How can I help?"
Onassis said: "We can establish a mutually beneficial relationship, such as a joint venture, or you acting as agent for my fleet, or any other method of cooperation, as long as it gives Christine a chance to grow. "
Lin Zhichao couldn't help being surprised after hearing Onassis's words. Onassis, who almost never asked for help, now condescended to ask for help, and his attitude was so sincere. It seemed that Onassis was in a bad situation.
When he thought about it, Onassis's fleet was huge (three to four million tons) and powerful. If he cooperated with him, it would be of great benefit to him to expand his business scope. At least it would increase his strength on the route. In addition, Onassis Sri Lanka did not mention any additional conditions at all. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people. However, Onassis is a typical Westerner. His way of doing things is very different from mine, and his living habits are also very different. We have never cooperated before, and we are not close friends. Will we be able to cooperate happily in the future?
What's more, people's words are terrible. Onassis was in a difficult period. If he intervened, he would inevitably be said to be taking advantage of others' danger. In addition, he would have to reduce the number of ships in a few years, so why bother adding to the trouble.
Lin Zhichao said: "Mr. Onassis, the cooperative operation is too complicated, and I can't give you an answer at the moment. What's more, this oil crisis has sounded a wake-up call for me and also for other countries. The risks of shipping in the future Increase, so I am also thinking about countermeasures. So, the matter of cooperative management."
It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt to remind Onassis a little, since he has already rented it out for a long time.
Onassis did not pay attention to Lin Zhichao's last words, but only knew that Lin Zhichao refused tactfully, and suddenly felt a little sad. As he grew older, everything became unsatisfactory, and he could no longer retain the glory he once had.
"Mr. Lin, the Olympic Fort Hotel I invested in has been newly completed. Can you please be invited to stay as a guest tomorrow?" He was worried that Lin Zhichao would refuse again, so he was very gentle.
Christina also said from the side: "Mr. Lin, I admire you very much, and I invite you to be my guest for a day!"
Lin Zhichao was not an unkind person, and Onassis had only a few years to live. The two were once rivals, and later became friends. It can be said that they did not know each other without fighting.
"Okay, then I'll interrupt you for the rest of the day!"
"It's our pleasure!"
Onassis actually became happy, then stood up to leave, and solemnly invited Lin Zhichao to come.
After walking out of the hotel, Onassis said, "What do you think of Mr. Lin?"
Christina said: "He is a really charming man and he looks so young!"
Onassis said: "He is not only a very charming man, but also very romantic. It is said that he has a close relationship with Audrey Hepburn!"
Christina said in surprise: "Could it be that Audrey Hepburn is his lover?"
Onassis said: "We don't know, after all, there is no evidence! Christina, if you were asked to be his lover, would you be willing?"
He thought of a good idea, which was to hand over Christina to Lin Zhichao, but the property would be inherited by his daughter; in this way, Lin Zhichao would take care of his daughter and teach her her skills in shipping.
"I want to see it tomorrow!" Christina said shyly.
She does think Lin Zhichao is a very attractive man, but such a man may not necessarily be willing to accompany her.
Onassis didn't say anything, but nodded sadly. If his son was still there, why would he be so troubled and sad.
The next day.
Lin Zhichao came to the Olympic Castle Hotel as a guest, and Onassis took his daughter to warmly welcome him.
Although this is a hotel, it is like a palace and can be used as a residence for the Onassis family, and there are many servants at their disposal. Lin Zhichao took a look and saw that there were dozens of servants serving three people. This kind of luxury was very uncomfortable.
Lin Zhichao didn't like too many servants because there were so many people talking, so he paid special attention to the scope of activities of servants and bodyguards in the villa, trying not to disturb the owner's life.
During dinner, Onassis said directly: "Mr. Lin, I hope to hand over Christina to you!"
Christina lowered her head shyly. She had been observing Lin Zhichao today, and she already felt like she belonged to him.
Lin Zhichao said in surprise: "Onassis, this is not possible!"
Onassis was stunned. He had no conditions. Why not? He said bluntly again: "Mr. Lin, you don't need to give her any status. You just need to give her guidance on how to manage the Onassis family's business, and then give her some advice." You don’t need to be burdened with a child.”
Lin Zhichao said: "If this is the case, wouldn't it be harmful to Miss Tina? She manages the family business and naturally has your loyal 'retainers'; she is still young and will meet people she likes. So Onassis does not need to worry at all, let alone You are in good health!"
He agreed to come because he could not bear to reject this old friend and rival out of the kindness of Onassis, a 'dying man'.
As for Christina, he had no idea.
It's easy to go to bed, but it's easy to feel worried. After all, even if it's an illegitimate child, it will take some time, right?
Onassis rejected Lin Zhichao and did not continue.
At night, Lin Zhichao was lying on the bed in the hotel, regretting that he had agreed to be a guest. He should have refused directly, so that there would be no embarrassment later.
There was a knock on the door.
"who is it?"
"Boss, it's Miss Tina!"
Lin Zhichao opened the door and let Chris' Tina in.
"Miss Tina, don't think too much about your father's words. You are still young, there is no need to worry at all!" Lin Zhichao said seriously as he looked at Christina, who was wearing a gorgeous dress.
Tina is wearing a low-cut dress. She has obviously been dressed up. Her facial features are three-dimensional and deep, and she has a strong Western look. On the contrary, Audrey Hepburn is not particularly obvious.
She walked directly to Lin Zhichao and summoned up the courage to say: "Mr. Lin, I want to spend a good night with you. This is what I want in my heart, not because of my father's force. You are a fascinating man, even if it is just for one night. I'm willing too!" After saying that, he threw himself directly into Lin Zhichao's arms.
This, this, this!
Lin Zhichao didn't know what to do, so he could only push her away and help her!
This woman has no brains, especially when it comes to men. No wonder she was deceived in her previous life and allowed the Onassis family's curse to continue.
"Miss Tina, listen, the spring breeze was once just your impulse. I am a very busy and romantic man who spends the night with many women, but I will not be accompanying or responsible because I think it is a waste of time. This kind of man is not what you need now."
As a result, this woman took the initiative to come up to him again and said: "Any man who can defeat my father, I am willing to follow Mr. Lin!"
The next morning, during breakfast.
Onassis smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, how is my daughter?"
As expected of a Westerner, these things are discussed directly on the table!
Lin Zhichao also said generously: "Tina is an excellent girl! But Mr. Onassis, apart from taking care of her a little every year, I will not be a qualified boyfriend. Maybe you will regret it, of course this is what it is. It’s something you and I wish to do.”
It feels a bit like I don’t accept my account!
Onassis said nonchalantly: "I just want her to be pregnant with your child! Of course, Mr. Lin will give her some guidance occasionally. I believe it won't take you too much time."
"Okay, I'll try my best!"
On the same day, Lin Zhichao took Christina around New York for a while, and continued to conquer her in the evening. It ended the next day and left New York.
When Christina appeared in front of Onassis again, her whole body was already filled with hope.
"Is he that charming?"
"Well, he's a real man and he won me over!"
"But he doesn't want to be responsible at all!"
"It doesn't matter, I will have a child of my own soon, and you can be a grandpa too!"
"Hopefully this is a good decision and not a moment of confusion on our part!"
It has been April since Lin Zhichao returned to Hong Kong, which coincided with the establishment of a joint financial company by Cheung Kong Holdings and Canadian Imperial Bank in Hong Kong - Excelsior Finance. Each invested HK$25 million to engage in financial services such as home purchase installment loans.
In March before this, Cheung Kong Holdings had successfully gone public in Toronto, raising HK$100 million. Lin Zhichao even attended the ceremony in person.
