Chapter 567: Go to Eagle Sauce to get some wool
While the grandfather and grandson were talking in the study, a news bulletin about the election came on TV:
"The unified consultation between the two presidential candidates, Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung of the Democratic Party, has failed today. Kim Dae-jung announced that he has rejected the party's nomination proposal, so it is confirmed that the two candidates will participate in the election at the same time..."
Looking at the content in the news, Chen Yongji and his two siblings were shocked. Then Chen Dongji hurried to Lin Hao's study!
At this time in the study, Lin Hao said with a smile:
"Director Li, please tell my grandson about this!"
"Yes, President!" Then Director Li said to Chen Daojun:
"President, should I continue?" Having said this, Director Li looked at Lin Hao again and asked, after all, the content that followed was a bit sensitive.
"Go ahead, I think the result should be out soon!" Lin Hao said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Director Li continued:
Lin Hao looked at the time traveler in front of him, Chen Daojun, who looked surprised and incredulous, and then said with a smile:
"Our group is not a small business. Don't forget that we are a chaebol!"
"Therefore, as long as any one of them wins, we will be invincible. Zhengzhi is not about life and death, but the art of compromise. Boy, you still have a lot to learn!"
"However, you are so keen on these things at such a young age. It is worth cultivating..."
"Father, father, something big has happened!" Chen Dongji didn't bother to knock on the door and rushed into the study and shouted loudly.
However, when he saw the TV in the study playing the news they had just watched, he shut his mouth. There was no need to repeat what his father already knew.
But I'm afraid we will have to discuss again which candidate to support next!
But he was a little curious why this little brat Chen Daojun was still in his father's study.
At this time, Chen Daojun felt very disappointed. He didn't expect that he would be appreciated by this grandfather because he thought he had mastered the information about the future.
However, he didn't expect that his grandfather had already made the best choice without these circumstances, which made him feel frustrated.
From this, we can see how skilled his grandfather is, and he is just relying on his memory of the future to do some tricks instead of using his own judgment.
What if my memory fails one day, will I still be able to gain a foothold successfully?
Chen Daojun fell into deep self-doubt.
Lin Hao noticed Chen Dongji rushing in and said calmly:
"Go out, there are no rules at all!"
Chen Dongji only then remembered his father's taboo, and then cold sweat broke out. Hearing Lin Hao's words, he quickly retreated to the door and knocked on it again.
However, Lin Hao ignored him and said to Chen Daojun:
"I didn't expect that Daojun's political acumen would give me a pleasant surprise. It just so happens that I will be going abroad next month. You can come with me then!"
"I~!" Chen Daojun couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions when he received the invitation from Chen Yangzhe. Although he didn't achieve his goal this time, he still caught the eye of this cheap grandfather.
Thinking of this, he did not dwell on it too much. There would be plenty of opportunities in the future anyway, so there was no need to worry about temporary gains and losses.
Then Lin Hao asked Director Li to send Chen Daojun downstairs and asked the driver to take him home.
After Chen Daojun left, Lin Hao finally asked his children to hold another meeting. Lin Hao also asked Director Li to tell them what he had said before.
Only then did everyone realize that the old man had already made plans and was in an invincible position, and they became even more in awe of Lin Hao.
······
Time flies, and before I knew it, more than half a month has passed.
Zhengxinzhai.
"Daojun, you must be obedient when you accompany grandpa abroad this time, okay?"
Chen Runji and Li Hairen kept telling Chen Daojun to be obedient and not to make the old man angry.
"What, the old man wants to take that kid Chen Daojun to Yingjiang's house?"
After hearing what Chen Runji and Li Hairen said, Chen Dongji and Chen Huarong felt jealous, and even Chen Yongji couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.
Why not bring their parent Sun Xingjun, but this Chen Daojun?
Could it be possible that the matter of the first-in-line heir could still change?
Just when Chen Yongji was feeling anxious, he suddenly came up with an idea, and then he pulled his wife Sun Zhen aside to talk to her for a few words.
When Sun Zhenlai heard this, his eyes lit up. He found an opportunity to sneak into his mother-in-law Li Biyu's room. As a result, as soon as he reached the door, he heard the voices of his father-in-law and mother-in-law inside.
So I approached the bedroom carefully and listened attentively to the conversation inside.
At this time, Li Biyu was also very unhappy that Chen Yangzhe brought his illegitimate son with him!
But Lin Hao's words instantly broke her dissatisfaction.
"Ah? You're planning on letting me go with you this time?"
Unexpectedly, happiness came so suddenly. The old man even wanted her to go with him. You know, Chen Yangzhe never took her with him no matter what he did over the years.
Not to mention going abroad, even when I was young and attended a cocktail party, I was surrounded by all kinds of vixens.
That is to say, in recent years, the old man has grown old and can no longer play, so the coquettish women around him have gradually disappeared.
Now that things happened too suddenly, Li Biyu was a little overwhelmed.
"I, I'd better forget it!"
Although she was eager to go with them, she still said with difficulty:
"I don't even know how to read, so I'd better not go and embarrass you!"
"What's so embarrassing? I've already booked the plane ticket for you. That's it!" Lin Hao said without hesitation.
Are you kidding me? If this old lady doesn’t go, how will she make room for the newcomers in the future?
Then he left the bedroom, and as soon as he went out, he saw his eldest daughter-in-law walking towards him. If Lin Hao hadn't known it long ago, he would have believed it.
Looking at his eldest daughter-in-law who still had charm, Lin Hao didn't have too many thoughts. He ignored her and went downstairs.
When Sun Zhen saw her father-in-law leave, she quickly ran to the bedroom to find Li Biyu, and then whispered to her mother-in-law for a long time.
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Li Biyu fell into deep thought. She was already dissatisfied with Chen Yangzhe for only bringing Chen Daojun with him. At least it was rare for her husband to take her out, which made her a little hesitant.
When Li Biyu and Sun Zhen came downstairs, they saw Chen Yangzhe talking to Chen Daojun very intimately, and they felt a sense of danger in their hearts.
This old man likes this illegitimate son so much, will it affect the status of the legitimate grandson? Thinking of this, Li Biyu made up her mind.
When Lin Hao noticed Li Biyu coming downstairs, he withdrew his gaze from his daughter-in-law and wondered when to take action.
Seeing that Lin Hao seemed very happy, Li Biyu took the opportunity to suggest to Lin Hao:
"Since we've already brought Chen Daojun, why not bring the eldest grandson Chen Xingjun and granddaughter Chen Yijun along as well? This way, the grandchildren can have each other as companions and cultivate their relationships!"
Having lived with Chen Yangzhe for decades, she knew his character well and knew that it could not be changed, so she had to think of other ways.
So, either all the grandchildren go, or none of them go.
The second daughter-in-law, who had originally been indifferent, immediately became excited. Her daughter had received Chen Yangzhe's attention, and there would definitely be benefits in the future.
So he immediately said to Lin Hao:
"Dad, just take the kids with you!"
The second daughter-in-law instantly formed a united front with her mother-in-law.
Lin Hao took a fancy to the little beauty Chen Yajun. Not only was she cute and well-behaved, she was also very smart since she was young. It was a pity that she was too young.
Then he looked at his charming daughter-in-law, and Lin Hao felt even more sorry. He had originally thought of letting Li Hairen go with him on the grounds that Chen Daojun was still young and needed someone to take care of him.
When the time comes, when I'm at Yingjiang's house, I'll find an opportunity to take this daughter-in-law away. It seems I'll have to find another opportunity.
For a moment, Lin Hao wanted to arrange all his adopted sons and grandsons on that death flight, and then destroy them together.
By then, he could legitimately renew another room and see that Lin Hao understood that he was happy, but this trip to the world of "Chaebol" would have been in vain, and he might not even have enough money for the trip.
Thinking of this, Lin Hao suppressed the desire for destruction in his heart. He needed to find a balance between obtaining destiny points and being happy. Thinking of this, Lin Hao hated the old woman Li Biyu even more. He wanted to use the crashed flight 858 to get rid of the old woman.
But there are a few more people who will be useful to him in the future, and they will definitely be with Li Biyu at that time. If Lin Hao sends Li Biyu away alone, it will be too obvious.
However, even if the plane crash could not solve her problem, Lin Hao had many other means, and this was not the only one.
And if I don't insist on letting Li Biyu board that death flight, then it seems that I still have a chance!
Thinking of this, Lin Hao smiled and said helplessly:
"If that's the case, then go ahead. But I'm afraid you can't take care of two grandchildren, so you can bring your daughter-in-law with you!"
"Mother-in-law, I, I will go with you. I have always taken care of your daily life and diet."
"Mother-in-law, I, I can do it too~!"
As soon as Lin Hao said this, his eldest daughter-in-law Sun Zhenlai and his second daughter-in-law Liu Zhina were all excited. Even Li Hairen, who brought Chen Daojun here, had his eyes lit up.
But Li Hairen knew that such a good thing would not be hers, so she naturally did not dare to speak up to fight for it.
The old woman looked at her two daughters-in-law and felt a little troubled for a moment. It was true that her eldest son and his family lived in Zhengxinzhai, and it was always her eldest daughter-in-law who served her tea and water.
But the old man is already partial to his eldest son's family, and it would be bad if she were to be partial to him too.
You can choose the second son’s daughter-in-law, because the one from his family is too tactless.
She had been looking forward to it for decades, and the old man finally took her out once. It was really a disappointment to have such an inconsiderate person around.
Just when Li Biyu was in trouble, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the silent Li Hairen, her eyes lit up, and she immediately said:
"Let the fourth sister accompany me. She seldom came to accompany us before. Besides taking care of Daojun, she can also get close to us!"
"Huh? Is this old woman so sensible?" Lin Hao thought to himself.
He was just about to ask Li Hairen to go along, but unexpectedly the old woman took the lead.
This scene is so familiar. Isn't this the real-life version of the previous battle between two presidential candidates where the winner is the winner?
The eldest, the second and the third son thought of the story their father told them yesterday. There were three people running for class monitor. Two evenly matched people competed, and in the end the third son won.
Then the three of them looked at Chen Daojun, who was loved by their father. This boy was very capable and must not be kept, otherwise he would become a big problem in the future.
······
Soon, the group boarded a plane to Yingjiang's home.
His most important purpose this time was to take advantage of the stock market crash to make a fortune, and also to invest in and acquire those future giants.
For example, Microsoft at this time had only been listed for more than a year, and its stock price had just broken through 20 US dollars.
But after this stock market crash, Microsoft's stock price took a sharp dive, and Bill, who had just earned over 100 million yuan, saw his wealth shrunk by nearly half, falling back into the ranks of multi-millionaires.
Now is a great time to acquire Microsoft shares. It can be said that this store will disappear in this village.
There is also Apple. At this time, Apple was still selling computers, and its stock price was even cheaper. You would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't buy some shares.
As for Amazon~!
Well, okay, Amazon hasn’t been established yet at that time, so let Chen Daojun, the time traveler, operate it in the future.
However, all these will have to wait until this stock market crash is over. The most important thing right now is to build positions and plan out the stock market in advance.
Because Lin Hao had done things like Eagle Sauce more than once before, he was very familiar with it this time. In addition, with the financial elites from the group he brought with him, Lin Hao's operation went smoothly.
······
Lin Hao stayed in the Eagle Sauce family for more than ten days in total, but he gained a lot in these ten days. The Eagle Sauce family alone earned more than 70 billion US dollars.
It’s not that Lin Hao doesn’t want to make more, but Lin Hao doesn’t want to make every last penny in the stock market. The stock market crash is originally a means used by Wall Street’s leeks, and Lin Hao naturally knows how dangerous it is.
Lin Hao is just a participant who follows behind them and secretly eats meat. If he stands out too much, he might become a meal for the Wall Street giants.
But Lin Hao's plan was not limited to the United States, but was divided into five waves and sent to several other countries around the world to reap the rewards.
As for the other battlefields, Lin Hao did not disappoint him as he had made arrangements in advance.
After all, it was a global stock market crash. Although the money reaped in each place was far less than that reaped by the United States, the total amount reaped was nearly 50 billion US dollars.
In other words, he made nearly 120 billion US dollars from this stock market crash alone.
However, due to the high tax issues and Lin Hao's need to buy up promising companies in the United States, Lin Hao started to go on a shopping spree in the following period of time.
First, he acquired 11% of Microsoft's shares. It's not that Lin Hao didn't want to take more. If possible, Lin Hao even wanted to acquire Microsoft in full.
But the question is, without Bill's Microsoft, can it still grow into the Microsoft of later generations?
Maybe Bill would use the money he earned to start a Microsoft and then continue to dominate the world, then all my efforts would be in vain.
As for letting Bill work for you, what a joke, how could that kind of person be inferior to others?
So, after much thought, Lin Hao decided that 11% of the shares was just right, which would allow him to make a lot of money without affecting Bill's position on the board of directors.
This win-win situation is the best of both worlds, so his meeting with Bill was very harmonious and he treated Lin Hao as his savior.
So the two of them quickly reached an agreement, and Bill readily signed the share transfer agreement, calling Lin Hao his savior.
Because Lin Hao's current market value of Microsoft is barely over 4 million US dollars, even before the stock market crash it was only 7 million US dollars, but Lin Hao directly paid million US dollars.
For Bill, with such an outrageous premium, if Lin Hao is not the savior, who is the savior?
Of course, Lin Hao is not a fool. Knowing that Microsoft has a trillion-level potential in the future, Lin Hao doesn't mind spending a little more money.
Moreover, by the next year, in 1988, Microsoft's stock price had risen by 89%, and in the following years, Microsoft's stock price continued to soar.
And this amount of money is really just a drop in the bucket for Lin Hao, who just made hundreds of billions.
I just wonder if Bill will regret it in a few years when Microsoft’s stock price soars.
Besides Microsoft, the next target is Apple.
At this time, Jobs had already left Apple, and Apple was now in a trough period. This trough lasted for a long time, and it was not until Jobs returned in 97 that Apple came out of the trough.
So, in fact, the most valuable thing about Apple is not the company itself. Like Microsoft, it is Steve Jobs himself who is the target of Lin Hao’s investment.
Therefore, Lin Hao first used Jobs' business philosophy to fool Jobs, and immediately made Jobs regard Lin Hao as a close friend.
Then, money was used to pave the way, allowing the company's negotiators to meet with all of Apple's shareholders and buy back most of their shares.
In the end, Lin Hao alone controlled 60% of Apple's shares, and then invited Jobs back to take charge of Apple again.
Of course, it was impossible for Lin Hao to let him work for free, so he could just say that they were close friends.
What really moves people is always interests, and Lin Hao took out 10% of Apple shares in exchange for Jobs' 25% of Pixar Animation Studios shares.
In this way, everyone's interests are intertwined, and this is the most reliable ally.
Of course, the companies that Lin Hao has been buying from during this period are definitely not limited to these few companies.
In addition, Lin Hao also acquired or held shares in some other valuable companies, such as Berkshire, Merrill Lynch, etc., which I will not go into details.
Ten days later, Lin Hao still had half of the funds in his hands. During this period, Lin Hao established several asset management companies in Yingjiang's home.
At the same time, he hired the best financial company to reasonably avoid taxes on Lin Hao's profits. In the end, all Lin Hao could take away was a mere 30 billion US dollars.
In addition, every time I come here, I don’t even have a place to stay, so I have to stay in a hotel.
So Lin Hao simply bought a luxury house in New York and prepared to have a big party in it.
