The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

In early June, on the balcony of a London resident, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn were waiting for the Queen's parade float. Today is the day of the Queen's coronation. There are crowds of people on both sides of the road below the balcony, and a large number of soldiers separate the parade channel in the middle.

Under the arrangement of Lin Zhichao's partner Willis, they rented the balcony with the best view. The unit price is 1,000 pounds, which can be said to be the most expensive ticket.

"People are so happy!" Lin Zhichao sighed.

He could see that Londoners truly supported the royal family.

Maybe there is also a fan effect in this era. After all, the Queen is so beautiful, she served on the battlefield in World War II, and there is no bad news.

Willis said with a smile: "Indeed, everyone is expecting that the young queen can bring new hope to this country. After World War II, Britain is still shaky and dispirited, and the new queen is exactly what war-weary Britain and the wider It was like a shot in the arm that the Commonwealth needed."

After speaking, there was a look of glory on his face.

Lin Zhichao did not comment. He hugged Audrey Hepburn and whispered: "You are also the queen in my heart!"

Audrey Hepburn turned back and said: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of being laughed at!"

To be honest, Lin Zhichao is just coaxing women. He can't even marry Audrey Hepburn. After all, how can a celebrity marry her home? No matter how big your skills are, you are still an actor!

Putting aside that kind of thinking, marrying a Hollywood actress and going home wouldn't be like letting people visit or something. Being exposed to the media is different from Lin Zhichao's low-key personality.

Willis said from the side: "Miss Audrey's beauty is not inferior to Her Majesty the Queen. Mr. Lin is really lucky to catch you. Of course, Mr. Lin is the future world shipping king, and Miss Audrey is really good." Talented and beautiful."

He doesn't find flattery disgusting either, and he flatters Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn. Of course, Willis regards Lin Zhichao as the God of Wealth. Although there is less cooperation now, Lin Zhichao purchased about 30 ships from him in the past, and he received nearly one million US dollars in commission alone.

After a while, Hepburn pointed excitedly into the distance and said: "The golden carriage is the Queen's car!"

A carriage made of pure gold, pulled by six horses, surrounded by many guards or knights.

It does look very stylish. Only a person of Lin Zhichao's status would feel that - he wouldn't enjoy it at all. Can a carriage made of gold be shockproof? And if you keep smiling all the time, will your face cramp?

After all, he doesn't like this tedious lifestyle, which is more about responsibilities.

The speed of the carriage is very slow, allowing the crowds on both sides to admire it, and the Queen waves to her people from time to time. Lin Zhichao had very good eyesight and could clearly see the beautiful queen sitting in the carriage. As for the man next to him, who would care about him? If that man were any European prince, as long as he didn't cause any scandal, the effect would be the same - a vase.

"I really envy their love!" Audrey Hepburn turned around and said deliberately.

Lin Zhichao said in a low voice: "There is no need to be envious. There is no cat in the world who does not steal fish, let alone in such a depressing situation. I don't believe we will discuss this topic again in the future. You must know that I am a prophet and a philosopher." "

According to gossip, the prince had experienced more than thirty lovers, but to be more precise - he could only go shopping, not buy, because he had no money and no ability to 'buy'.

Therefore, mental infidelity is said to be more reliable.

Audrey Hepburn has been completely obsessed with Lin Zhichao's PUA, so the two can discuss these things at this time.

"I believe in you!"

Audrey Hepburn suddenly said softly that she had already been PUAed by Lin Zhichao, just like when Lin Zhichao told the script, she would star in it three years later; and the next Oscar for Best Actress, she had already been PUA I regard it as my own, even though the movie has not been released yet (September).

"Of course, it's more about responsibility. Just like me, I also have responsibility for you. My responsibility is to keep you beautiful and you can do what you want to do and where you want to go."

Audrey Hepburn immediately leaned into Lin Zhichao's arms, feeling very safe.

For Lin Zhichao, it is just like marrying a concubine. Audrey Hepburn is not the kind of person who misses the showbiz industry, so quitting is not a problem. Of course, Lin Zhichao also supports her occasionally starring in a movie.

As for whether there will be scandals in the future, Lin Zhichao won't worry about it. If he wants to be the world's shipping king, how can there be no scandals?

Onassis's female companion has been changing, and she even married Kennedy's widow Jacqueline.

Willis on the side was dumbfounded. What kind of charm did this Chinese have that could dazzle a European aristocrat and make him dizzy? But when he thought about it, Lin Zhichao was really a legendary Chinese, and in every aspect of his conversation, he had the aura of a superior. In the past, he could regard Lin Zhichao as a small ship owner, and his attitude was a little more arrogant, but now he only knows how to curry favor with Lin Zhichao.

The next day, Lin Zhichao flew to West Germany with Audrey Hepburn, arranged her in a hotel, and came to Bourne Machinery with his men for inspection. As the Hong Kong embargo is about to be lifted, Lin Zhichao has also begun to deploy the zipper industry, planning to compete with Japan's YKK zipper.

"Lin, I'm very glad to see you come to Bourne Machinery again!" Gauss greeted happily.

His development in the past few years has not been very smooth. The development of textile machinery has been slow, and the zipper machinery has also encountered many competitors. The largest customer is Changjiang Industry.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao seems to have become his hope. In the past few years, he thought that Yangtze Zipper would be dragged down by the embargo crisis. Unexpectedly, Yangtze Zipper actually survived tenaciously, and its business was still growing steadily.

"Manager Gauss, I am here this time because I want to reach a closer cooperation with you."

"Oh, of course, that's a good thing!"

Gauss agreed happily at first.

Later, Lin Zhichao came to Gauss's office, and the two began to talk formally.

Changjiang Industry has always had a team working with Bourne Machinery, so Lin Zhichao also knows Bourne Machinery very well.

So soon, Lin Zhichao got straight to the point: "Manager Gaos, I wonder if I can take a stake in Bourne Machinery to strengthen our cooperative relationship?"

Gauss was surprised, and then said: "Mr. Lin wants to buy Bourne Machinery?"

Lin Zhichao shook his head and said: "It's a share purchase. Just 51% of the shares will be fine. You will still manage and be the legal representative. And I can tell you that with the development of the world economy, the demand for zippers is increasing day by day, so I want Bourne Machinery to Producing various types of machinery specifically for us will definitely have better development prospects than the current development prospects. Moreover, our Yangtze River Industry also needs other machinery, and Bourne Machinery can develop and produce them together."

Gauss pondered for a long time before he said, "What mechanical needs will you have for Changjiang Industry in the future?"

Lin Zhichao said: "First of all, the demand for the zipper industry is very strong, no smaller than your current business; secondly, we can also produce various machinery such as injection molding machines, wig making equipment, toy equipment, etc., not only to sell to our Yangtze River Industry, but also to Other factories in Hong Kong are for sale.”

Gao Si said: "That is to say, Bourne Machinery has become a vassal of Changjiang Industry."

Lin Zhichao thought for a while and said: "That's right. But as far as I know, the efficiency of Bourne Machinery is not very good. I can give you a good price. And I guarantee that Bourne Machinery will develop better than it is now. .”

Profitable, he bought Bourne Machinery, but he hoped that Goss would work for him, and of course he kept Goss's 49% equity. He didn't want to control the Bourne machinery, but just wanted to save the cost of the machinery, and to carry out research and development and investment in the machinery needed by the Yangtze River Industry.

Gauss still has concerns, but he also understands that since Lin Zhichao has come to discuss cooperation, he may have a plan to replace Bourne Machinery. By then losing this big customer, Bourne Machinery will become more difficult. And if it takes 51% of the shares, Bourne Machinery has a lot of funds to expand its scale, which seems to be a good thing.

"I prefer to cooperate with the Five-Year Plan instead of becoming a vassal. Moreover, half of the shares will be financed and half will be exchanged for Yangtze River Zipper shares." Gauss thought of a plan that would benefit him.

He has always been keen on the zipper business, but unfortunately he is not good at zipper production, and he is very optimistic about Lin Zhichao.

Of course, Lin Zhichao could not agree to this plan, but he still said in a compromise: "Yangtze Zipper cannot sell shares to you, but considering that Yangtze Zipper needs to avoid European trade fortresses in the future, if we build a factory in Europe in a few years, we can choose to work with you. There is no problem in jointly investing in the zipper business and the distribution of 50-50 equity."

With the popularity of zippers, zippers will no longer compete with price, but with quality. Building a factory in Europe is also inevitable because trade risks can be avoided. Of course, the factory does not need to invest too much.

Gauss thought about it again and gave Lin Zhichao an answer, that is, he could accept his capital as a shareholding and accept the 5th Five-Year Cooperation Plan.

Lin Zhichao did not insist on 51%. After all, Gauss was also worried that he would annex Bourne Machinery.

After roughly reaching an agreement, the next step is of course to hand it over to the subordinates and lawyers.

However, Lin Zhichao still had the idea of ​​cooperation, so he said: "Manager Gauss, do you know about the adult doll during World War II?"

Gauss was stunned and said: "I have only heard of it, but I don't know the specific situation. Why does Mr. Lin ask this? Do you still want to produce adult dolls?"

Lin Zhichao explained with a smile, and then said: "I want to work with you to invest in a toy company with redesigned 'Beer Lily' dolls, which can be sold in bars, hotels and other places, and can also be sold in stores."

Gauss was very interested in Lin Zhichao's idea. He felt that the doll would definitely be popular in Europe, so the two planned to discuss cooperation in detail.

"Mr. Lin, can you produce such hard plastic dolls?"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said: "Whether it is the general image or the production technology and craftsmanship, we can already achieve it. But I have considered that if such a doll wants to sell well in Europe, of course it must choose a local partner, so I Thinking of you."

The implication is that if you don't need a local partner, you can live alone.

Gauss smiled and said: "Indeed, if the dolls want to sell well in Europe, they must at least have channels, marketing and other plans. If you cooperate with me, we can solve this trouble."

He also said that he was not a decoration.

But no matter what, this time Lin Zhichao was only willing to give up 49% of the shares, and both parties contributed capital according to their shareholding ratio.

Gauss thought that this kind of cooperation is not bad. He does not need to consider production, but only needs to participate in the redesign and marketing of the doll. What's more, he felt that Lin Zhichao was good at business, and the cooperation between the two would definitely achieve good results.

"Okay, I'm willing to cooperate with you!"

If not, Lin Zhichao can only find someone else. He still has acquaintances in Europe.

After reaching a cooperation agreement with Goss, Lin Zhichao did not stay in Germany for too long, and left everything to his subordinates. At present, the Yangtze River Industrial Group has begun to take shape, and the group management has been established. Including the pricing of Bourne Machinery, all need to be discussed in detail by the subordinates. As for the cooperation with the "Bi'er Doll" company, the cooperation is also in the name of Changjiang Toy Factory, not in the name of a private person.

Once the investment in Bourne Machinery is completed, Yangtze Zipper will order 50 automatic rice arranging machines and other machines of various types, which of course will take two years to deliver; at the same time, non-metallic zippers will also have to be arranged for small-scale production, and attention will be paid to investment in this area. .

Today's Yangtze River Zipper has an annual profit of more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars. It is expected that starting next year, the Yangtze River Zipper will enter a period of rapid development.

The capital required to invest in Bourne Machinery is estimated to be one million US dollars, so Yangtze Zipper needs a loan of HK$5 million to cope with the subsequent development investment, and it originally has more than HK$8 million on its books.

The larger the investment, the greater the return, and of course the greater the risk.

In the hotel in London, Lin Zhichao hugged Audrey Hepburn in a princess dress, and a faint fragrance came from his nose.

"My dear, I have accepted another film, I hope you don't mind. It's not my fault, it's you who refused to let me get pregnant!" Audrey Hepburn said cautiously.

Seeing her expression, Lin Zhichao was deeply shocked. His PUA is so powerful that he can make an independent actress pay so much attention to his own ideas.

""Dragon and Phoenix Match"?"

It was Audrey Hepburn's turn to be shocked and said in disbelief: "How do you know? Could it be that you are really my lover from the past life and have come back with memories? Then why did you marry a wife first?"

Lin Zhichao tickled her nose and said, "Didn't you say that you like the comedy "Dragon and Phoenix" written by Samuel Taylor the most. So, I made a guess."

Audrey Hepburn laughed immediately, she didn't expect Lin Zhichao to remember it so clearly, it seemed that this man remembered everything she said clearly. I don't know if it's because of his excellent memory or because he cares about himself very much.

"Then do you care?"

Lin Zhichao said frankly: "I don't mind! And I won't mind your thoughts in the future, but"

Audrey Hepburn immediately asked: "But what?" She thought to herself that as long as this man gave her a child, she could reduce her filming, and would only accept movies that she was particularly excited about.

Lin Zhichao said seriously: "Maybe you will become a millionaire next year or the year after, so in the future, you can invest your own money in making movies."

"Barbie?" Audrey asked.

She has always been very concerned about the Barbie doll that Lin Zhichao mentioned. She thinks it is a gift given to her by Lin Zhichao, although the two have not yet established a partnership.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Yes, I am confident that Barbie will conquer the hearts of the world. By then, you may become a multi-millionaire, not just a millionaire."

Audrey Hepburn immediately approached, raised her head and said: "Don't conquer the hearts of the whole world, just conquer my heart, my dear, love me!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for Lin Zhichao.

Lin Zhichao also recently discovered that he is more and more interested in Audrey Hepburn, as it seems to be the brilliance brought by the star; I didn't think it was so powerful before, but now when I think of the princess in "Roman Holiday", I feel that Audrey Hepburn is. A special aura.

This also understands why many celebrities can marry into wealthy families. Of course, we are talking about future generations.
