The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

night.

Lin Zhichao was lying on the bed, with his head on Audrey Hepburn's thigh and his legs on Xu Caiying. Next to him, Tang Caiyun was feeding him grapes. The three women are dressed in alluring ways, with different costumes, but the three pairs of beautiful legs are wrapped in black stockings.

"Husband, your seven sons and two daughters have been arranged. Do you plan to start enjoying life?" Tang Caiyun said with a charming smile.

Lin Zhichao spit out the grapes, looked at the fruitful scene, and said: "I have been enjoying life! What's more, now my children are my generals, and I am still the commander-in-chief. Of course, I have to command them to attack cities and seize territory. Life does not stop, and struggle does not stop. That’s the truth.”

Xu Caiying put her husband's legs on her body, and then massaged them with both hands. Everything was natural. After hearing Lin Zhichao's words, she joked: "Life is endless, and struggle is endless. You men are very career-minded, and I am afraid that you are also persistent in women." Same opinion. According to your body, an eighty-year-old will also like an eighteen-year-old."

The other two women frowned, they were not as 'unscrupulous' as Xu Caiying.

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "I always have to consider the family's face. How can I go too far, especially in the information age in the future, everything will be easily reported by entertainment reporters and the like."

Although he said this, Lin Zhichao had already thought about it. After completing the 'handover' in the 1980s, he would retreat behind the scenes so that he could reduce some attention.

Tang Caiyun said at this time: "It doesn't matter if you don't provoke those messy girls. I'm just worried that some girls won't fall into your charm and eventually make news. You don't want to be famous all your life, so just be implicated!"

Speaking of this, Lin Zhichao said confidently: "First of all, I will not mess with girls; secondly, if I don't have any charm at all, I believe that two young ladies from Jiangnan and a descendant of a European aristocrat will not work together with the same husband. ; Finally, don’t worry, I guarantee that you will still be attractive at seventy, and you can extend your youth with me.”

After hearing the last words, the wives of the third wife had no complaints and started to please Lin Zhichao one after another.

Although it is not a myth, it is true that Lin Zhichao's human genes have been re-sequenced, and his saliva, etc., may be rich in elements that make people young, which may be biochemical enzymes.

Audrey Hepburn immediately said: "I have been very satisfied in this life. My husband makes me still charming now. Now that I hear what my husband says, I will not interfere in my husband's private life in the future. Anyway, I want my husband to nourish me regularly." "

She enjoys being told that she is twenty years younger and has regular care from her husband, so she has always been satisfied. As for cheating, it seems that she has never thought about cheating on her husband. Not to mention that she has not thought about it. Even her two sons may have a relationship with her and break up because of this kind of thing.

In fact, in the hearts of the children, since they have been forming a family like this since they were young, they also hope to maintain this kind of family. Not to mention, before the 1970s, this kind of existence was allowed in the area where my father lived, so there was no problem.

Lin Zhichao became proud, as part of his job was to PUA these three wives for a long time. The three wives should always be PUA, so that they can stabilize their own rear.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration at all for him to say that his three wives can still be 'women' at the age of seventy. Only Lin Zhichao himself has seen the charm of fifty-year-old women; not to mention that his third wife has his biochemical enzymes, which can truly make her look more than twenty years younger, that is, her body details can be maintained at the age of seventy. The state of being in his forties is just a little more mature.

But this is Lin Zhichao's responsibility, and he must nourish them, not to mention practice makes perfect. Everyone has a tacit understanding in some aspects, and there is a sense of fun, without feeling any disgust.

On the other hand, if Lin Zhichao wants to keep his family stable, he must also take good care of his three wives so that he can enjoy better outside.

That night, everyone had a pleasant exchange.

The next day, Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying went to Lin's villa in Beverly for vacation.

Lin Zhichao stayed at Audrey Hepburn's villa and invited David Rockefeller and his wife and their youngest daughter Megan Rockefeller, which was regarded as a meeting between the parents of both parties.

Lin Ruidong really got a girl from the Rockefeller family, and the two had a very deep relationship, which made Lin Zhichao have no choice but to accept this daughter-in-law. In fact, he doesn't really want a marriage-style daughter-in-law. Of course, Megan and Lin Ruidong are not considered a marriage. After all, they are free love.

"Mr. Lin, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that we would meet as parents!" David said with a smile after the meeting.

The couple is actually very satisfied with Lin Ruidong, he is such an outstanding young man; and behind Lin Ruidong, Audrey Hepburn is well-known in the West and is a representative of successful women.

As for Lin Zhichao, they only think that Audrey Hepburn was ignorant and made mistakes when she was young, nothing more. (PS: Lin Zhichao and Audrey deliberately showed a strange feeling to avoid revealing Lin Zhichao’s charm)

"I'm honored to be here today as Ryan's father."

"Haha, I can see that Ryan respects you very much."

Next, everyone sat together and talked about the marriage of the two young people.

The result was that it was agreed that it would be a low-key affair, with only the parents attending, and it would be held in a church. In this way, the identities of Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn will not be discussed as much as possible.

"Mr. Lin, with your strength, you are enough to expand your business outside of Hong Kong and around the world." David said.

He is the chairman of the board of directors of Chase Bank, and Chase Bank's business in Hong Kong has cooperated in providing loans to Lin Zhichao's enterprises, so David has also investigated and found that Lin Zhichao is very powerful.

Lin Zhichao said: "Hong Kong's rate of return has always been among the best in the world, so I am very optimistic about Hong Kong's prospects. As for overseas investment, let's see if there are any opportunities in the 1980s!"

David said: "Actually, I know that you have invested in nine commercial buildings in Manhattan, and you invested US$350 million in securities, and the value of this securities has increased to about US$800 million."

Marketable securities are equivalent to leverage. For example, the value of nine buildings must be more than 350 million U.S. dollars that year, and marketable securities are equivalent to a company that controls these nine buildings. The asset value of this company may be 800 million U.S. dollars, but There are also liabilities of US$450 million, and the value of the securities of the seat is US$350 million.

After Lin Zhichao bought this securities, the debts needed to be repaid with the rent of nine buildings; as for Lin Zhichao's two companies, they only spent 200 million US dollars, which is equivalent to adding another amount of leverage, but the debts are from Universal Group and Cheung Kong Group.

To sum up, it is equivalent to Lin Zhichao spending 200 million US dollars to leverage an 800 million dollar project.

Since 1977, Manhattan office buildings have been booming and rents have been rising rapidly, so the value of this marketable security has more than doubled in three years.

According to Lin Zhichao's expectations, by 1982, it would be worth US$2 billion.

This is the joy of bargain hunting!

For example, land in Hong Kong may have increased six times from the end of 1974 to 1981.

"Thanks to the development of American technology, the demand for office buildings in Manhattan has increased. This investment finally gave me some stability." Lin Zhichao said modestly.

Even if the two of them were to be in-laws, he would still be on guard.

It is not impossible for the Rockefeller family to buy shares in Audrey Company in the future, but it must be when Disney is acquired that this family can provide some help. Moreover, the shares must not exceed 5%.

David nodded. He felt that his in-laws still had potential strength, but on the surface they seemed to be just an overlord in a corner. In fact, if it can support a business tycoon like Audrey Hepburn, its strength will definitely not be weak.

The two men chatted about business, the two women chatted, and the two children were affectionate. Both parents finally agreed, and they were very happy.

In private.

Megan asked curiously: "Ryan, your father and mother seem to have a good relationship?"

Eyes cannot deceive. When the future mother-in-law looks at the future father-in-law, her eyes are always full of love.

Lin Ruidong said: "Their relationship is already good. Well, after you marry me, you will know their love story."

Over the years, his mother has faced some problems and has always hidden her feelings. Therefore, many media believe that her mother was deceived when she was young and gave birth to the two brothers.

Because of this, the relationship between father and mother has always been complicated and confusing.

Meghan was immediately a little shy and said: "Who wants to marry you? I haven't graduated from college yet!"

Lin Ruidong smiled and said: "So, you will be ready to marry me in half a year!"

The couple had a fight!

But then Lin Ruidong said: "I have to go to Japan to work for a while, so we have to communicate by phone!"

This time he went to Japan to strengthen his capabilities. He had a lot of work to do. In addition to setting up a hardware branch, he also wanted to develop a gaming watch that integrated dashboards and electronic games.

There is no problem with game watch technology. After all, it is a combination of electronic watches and handheld game consoles. But the key is to coordinate Japanese manufacturers and carry out coordinated production.

"Yeah," Megan replied cheerfully.

Her boyfriend is more career-minded, but he is not unromantic. In her opinion, her boyfriend is a relatively perfect person.

After receiving his father's instructions to pay attention to Japanese business, Lin Ruidong took action immediately.

He first made an appointment with someone in the United States, who was David Rosen, one of the founders of Sega.

In fact, Sega's origins can be traced back to Service Game, a company founded in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1940. It moved to Tokyo, Japan in the early 1950s to develop and distribute coin-operated jukeboxes, games, and slot machines. In the next few years, the company's products not only sold well in the United States, but were also welcomed by the US military stationed in Japan.

Air Force officer David Rosen established a quick photo booth in Japan in the 1950s, and then imported coin-operated games to Japan, gradually developing into a competitor of Sega. Eventually, under the planning of David Rosen, the two companies merged.

In 1966, Sega launched a pinball machine called Periscope, which immediately became popular around the world. In the same year, David Rosen sold the company to Bally Manufacturing Company (Motherboard), but he still served as CEO within Sega. Bally Manufacturing Company remains active in Sega's original product and marketing strategies.

Lin Ruidong found David Rosen, but he was actually interested in Sega's business and assets in Japan. If it could be acquired from Bally Manufacturing, it could immediately strengthen its business in Japan.

You know, although Atari occupies 65% of the electronic game market in the United States and also occupies a large proportion in Europe, it does not account for a large proportion in Japan. On the contrary, game software is easier to sell in Japan. This is because there are dozens of game console manufacturers in Japan, and their prices are too cheap.

The two met in a coffee shop. David Rosen looked at the young man in front of him curiously, but he didn't take a peek in his heart. When Cabbage Patch Babies took the United States by storm, this young man was only 21 years old. He had already created hundreds of millions of dollars in wealth and was named the youngest billionaire in the United States.

More importantly, this young man is the son of Audrey Hepburn, which means he will inherit the giant Audrey Company.

"David, we at Atari hope to acquire Sega from Bally Manufacturing and strengthen our strength in Japan. Therefore, we hope to get your help. In return, we are willing to hire you to continue to be the head of Sega in the United States. person and pay you a consulting fee.”

David Rosen said sharply: "I am still just a migrant worker! In fact, a Japanese consortium has already contacted me. They also like Sega, but their condition is to invite me to join them."

The implication is that if he joins the Atari camp, he will just be a part-timer and become another part-timer.

Although Lin Ruidong was surprised that the Japanese consortium joined the bidding, he still said calmly: "Investment is risky, but we can pay you a considerable consulting fee. This asset is enough for you to be stable without doing too much. Win. Secondly, the ownership of Sega is in the hands of Bally Manufacturing Company. Their reference for choosing who is bigger is - who has more money. Finally, we are all Americans, and Sega is also an American asset. I believe it will be easier to reach cooperation. .”

When David Rosen heard this, he was immediately moved. The considerable consulting fee could guarantee his life after retirement. Atari had a better chance of winning because of its wealth. He was once an American military officer and had this empathy for Americans.

"You are really an excellent salesman and you have impressed me. How much is the consulting fee? Of course it is important to me?"

"5% of the acquisition fee"

"I want 6%"

"no problem"

David Rosen was calm. Looking at Lin Ruidong's expression, he immediately knew that he had failed Atari's generosity.

In fact, Lin Ruidong also took a fancy to David Rosen's influence in Sega. If after the acquisition, he hoped that David could assist him in reorganizing the Japanese business as soon as possible.

His time is very tight. He only has three years to develop a first-class game console with low cost and good audio and video effects. In my father's words, this game console must be different from Atari's console and must be extremely good in performance.

Any other company would not give up its current dominance and start from scratch to make a breakthrough. But Lin Ruidong firmly believes in his father's point of view. In the field of electronic products, the Japanese have greater advantages, and cheap cost is one of the biggest advantages.

"Mr. David, I also have a small request!" Lin Ruidong said with a smile after negotiating the price.

"Mr. Ryan, please speak!" David quickly adjusted his attitude and regarded Lin Ruidong as his new boss.

Although Lin Ruidong is currently only the vice president of Atari, it is obvious that this is a family business. Audrey Hepburn is still the founder and chairman of the board of directors of Audrey Company.

"You just now have a Japanese consortium looking to acquire Sega, and they contacted you. So I hope you can stabilize them and prevent them from contacting Bally Manufacturing Company. In this way, we can get Sega in a more reasonable way. Don't worry, if All goes well, I will replenish this part of your contribution in your salary."

treacherous!

David quickly commented on Lin Ruidong. To put it bluntly, he allowed himself to deceive the Japanese consortium. After the acquisition of Atari, the Japanese consortium did not even have the opportunity to contact Bally Manufacturing.

However, he readily agreed. After all, Atari just didn't want to cause trouble.

David asked curiously: "Atari is currently the overlord of video games. Why did it go to such lengths to acquire an ordinary Sega company?"

Lin Ruidong said: "We are interested in the strength of Japan's electronics field and its cost and price. This is a long-term plan."

David Rosen still didn't quite understand - in this case, Atari could just purchase parts directly from Japan, but he didn't continue to ask.

The next day.

Japanese entrepreneur Hayao Nakayama sold his own business and, with the funds from other Japanese investors, prepared to acquire Sega Corporation and flex his muscles in the video game industry.

Before that, he had already contacted David, one of the founders of Sega, so he dared to sell his company. Of course, there are also cases where his business has reached its development limit and he wants to start a new one.

"Mr. David, when will we go to Bally Manufacturing Company to discuss the acquisition of Sega?" Nakayama Hayao said respectfully.

David Rosen laughed and said: "Mr. Hayao Nakayama, don't be anxious. The president of Bally Manufacturing Company is on a business trip overseas recently and cannot make an appointment for the time being. In this case, you can go back to Japan and wait for a week before coming to the United States."

Nakayama Hayao was stunned, and then asked: "A week?"

David Rosen nodded and said, "That's what his assistant said."

Nakayama Hayao suddenly felt helpless. He wanted to go directly to talk to Barry Manufacturing, but David Rosen had already been contacted. If he went to talk alone, he might offend people. Moreover, David Rosen is a person he values ​​​​very much, and he hopes to be in charge of the US business. In this way, the two businesses of Japan and the United States can be closely coordinated. In particular, it is very important and honorable to bring Japanese products into the United States.

After sending Nakayama Hayao away, David Rosen quickly joined Lin Ruidong and approached Bally Manufacturing Company.

At this time, Atari was the dominant player in the industry, and Sega was just a mid-level game manufacturer worth only about $30 million, so the acquisition was bound to go smoothly. (End of chapter)
