It was still dark, but Song Yang felt that Shen Qingxue was particularly enthusiastic today.

"Is it really a safe period?" Song Yang hugged the smooth and warm girl and joked with a smile, "Isn't it because they held hands because of the show?"

"...Do I care?" Shen Qingxue murmured, "I know, you haven't changed."

Although he hasn't changed, he is so dazzling that there will probably always be people looking at him enthusiastically, right?

Some will quietly hide their thoughts and restrain themselves, while others will inevitably fly into the flames.

After Song Yang came back from CCTV, he entered a relaxed state during the New Year.

At this time, he noticed Shen Qingxue's mood, and he hugged her tightly like a small animal: "After the National Day incident happened, I have been really busy in the past few months for the safety of the future. Didn't you tell me

Don't worry about so many things in your mind? The safe period may not be really safe. If you get pregnant, you will have to stop school."

The corners of Shen Qingxue's mouth turned up: "Isn't that just right?"

"...Did you do it on purpose?"

"No." In this most intimate state, Shen Qingxue felt extremely relaxed, "I just feel free to do whatever I want. When you are around, I won't have random thoughts."

Song Yang gently stroked her face: "You can't change this. It's okay. After the New Year, we will officially travel to Xiang Island this time. If everything goes well, I will arrange a meeting with Uncle Li in Xiang Island.

After doing something relevant, I will be much more relaxed in the future. By then, I will have a lot of time!"

"Uncle Li, come over, that little wild goose..."

"Let's all go together. It's a trip. Your mother, my parents, and Xiaoya. Someone will take care of that little one!" Song Yang said with a smile, "But at least we are alone together at night."

"Well." Shen Qingxue looked up at him, "You are already very rich, why are you singing "If One Day I Become Rich"?"

"...Many of the people who listen to this song have no money!" Song Yang said sternly, "I have to be able to resonate!"

"Then money is not everything. Is that a pretense of modesty or does it come from the heart?"

"Both." Song Yang said seriously again, "But only if you have money first can you choose whether to be modest or not, and understand better whether money is everything. Okay, I don't want to sleep anymore, do I really want to stay up until dawn?

"

"Sleep." Shen Qingxue nodded, gently rubbing her fingers on his back.

Feeling comfortable, Song Yang quickly fell asleep in the warm quilt.

Shen Qingxue listened to his even breathing and could not fall asleep quickly.

She knew she couldn't blame him, and she couldn't blame herself either.

I am only in my second year of college! There are indeed too many problems that have piled up in front of me.

…

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, a large family arrived at Xiangdao.

Lin Jin also arrived there first. Having stayed in Xiangdao for half a year, he acted as a guide and took them around.

Song Yang and Li Ping first paid a special visit to Zhuang Shian, and then headed to the hotel with Shi Youming.

Morris from Cravath came and met Song Yang and Li Ping. After a brief exchange of greetings, he confirmed that although the owner of the property was Li Ping, this young Mr. Song was the core of the group's plan.

There is no doubt that he has the complete trust of a billionaire.

"Mr. Morris." Song Yang smiled at him, "Although your company's remuneration includes a share of the compensation paid by the other party. However, out of consideration for the reputation of the trust creator during his lifetime, we can only take the following measures.

Just use pressure to get the other party to give appropriate compensation. I believe Mr. Morris also believes that long-term cooperation with us will bring higher benefits, right?"

"Of course, we respect the wishes of our customers." Morris smiled politely, "In this negotiation, I am only responsible for providing professional advice to Mr. Li and Mr. Song."

Song Yang nodded: "What is not inconsistent with this matter is that after Mr. Morris returns, he can help us make the framework of the new and old assets. The subsequent investment direction of the original assets is across all continents.

, and we still need to ask Mr. Morris to help us set up the newly established offshore company structure as soon as possible with the compensation received."

Morris immediately agreed, and at the same time he also knew that he had to wait for the conclusion of this negotiation before the contract could be signed in the presence of the client.

In another room of the hotel, Jason and Philip were waiting here.

After the agreed negotiation, both of them felt as if they were about to go to court.

Cravath brings too much pressure.

Li Ping, who was initially looked down upon by the three of them, turned out to be so ruthless after he actually took action that they could not find a way out.

Jason, who also asked many friends during this period, had to admit that Phillip's opinion was the most sensible.

As long as you can keep your reputation and don't go to jail, there is always a chance to turn around.

Of course, this also depends on how big their appetite is and how much money the three of them have to spit out.

After a long time, there was a knock on the door, and the three of them were invited to a specially rented conference room by the beautiful lawyer subordinate brought by Morris.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw Li Ping and a young man sitting next to him.

"Mr. Jason, Mr. Philip." Morris stood up and said, "Please sit down. My client, Mr. Li Ping, and his assistants, Mr. Song Yang and Mr. Shi Youming. Everyone has arranged a time to meet specifically. I hope

This negotiation will go smoothly. As the party entrusted to handle this case, we at Cravath have arranged for a dedicated person to record the negotiation process. Please don’t worry, Mr. Jason and Mr. Philip. If the negotiation does not achieve a result that is satisfactory to both parties, the record will not be used as a record.

Evidence used.”

The corners of Jason and Phillip's eyes trembled.

Is it weird to believe it?

But there is no difference. If you really go to court, then it will not be a debate about guilt or innocence, but a debate about the severity of punishment.

With or without such evidence, the difference is probably very small.

It's just that Cravath, who has a long-standing reputation, put pressure on the two of them as soon as they came up.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Song, please." Morris sat down and asked them to start with a smile.

Li Ping just sat there and looked at the three people he had dealt with before.

Seeing their fearful eyes and uneasy postures, Li Ping couldn't help but feel a sense of joy.

At that time, their faces were not like this.

"Mr. Jason, Mr. Phillip, this is our first meeting." Song Yang spoke in a friendly tone, "Now your situation is very clear to everyone here. So let's be direct. The first thing I want to ask is, how do you feel about Li

Do you recognize your status as the successor trustee?"

"What I want to remind you two is," Morris added on the side, "your attitude on this point is a prerequisite for negotiation. If you cannot even admit this point, then we at Cravath can only take the next step immediately and start legal proceedings.

We have obtained the basis for Mr. Li to serve as the successor trustee."

Jason gritted his teeth, and Phillip touched him with his toe.

"... Regarding this, since all the beneficiaries have signed the recognition document, of course we recognize it." After Jason glanced at him, he could only say this helplessly.

The purpose of coming here is to negotiate. Although it is humiliating, there must be no mistakes.

Song Yang laughed: "Then as the successor trustee, Mr. Li has the right to decide whether to terminate the trust and how to dispose of the trust assets, including how to manage them, including asking to see how you manage the assets during the performance of the contract."

Information. Do you two agree with this?"

"……certainly."

"The contract you signed originally required that the rate of return should not be lower than the benchmark interest rate." Song Yang's eyes sharpened, "So as far as I know, the cumulative income received by all beneficiaries is far less than what should be paid.

The amount obtained. Do you two want to explain anything about this?"

Both Jason and Phillip fell silent.

Morris spoke up: "As an asset management team, even if we don't have any professional ability, if we just put this asset in the form of cash in the bank, the income we will get will not be lower than the benchmark interest rate. According to the asset size when the will takes effect

To calculate, as of 1994, the total income shared by all beneficiaries should be US$385,398,367.59."

Highlight a precise.

Song Yang smiled and nodded at Morris: "But the total amount received by all eight beneficiaries during this period is less than 60 million U.S. dollars. As far as I know, the tax calculation method related to trust assets and

The tax rate shouldn’t be so ridiculous, right?”

Just kidding, the trust assets themselves are designed to avoid taxes.

I say this now just to make this point clear and to let these two people understand the seriousness of the matter.

This difference of more than 300 million US dollars is only the most conservative estimate.

As long as a trust asset of nearly US$3 billion is managed properly, there are many ways to increase its total value by 30%, not to mention doubling it in four years.

Therefore, the number mentioned by Morris will probably be at least doubled.

Fortunately, both Jason and Phillip heard it.

So far, the other party has not emphasized this point, but only emphasized the return that is not lower than the benchmark interest rate.

At this time, Jason cleared his throat and then said: "According to our strategy for managing this asset, there are some investment and operating methods that are long-term and stable. If Mr. Li is willing to continue to hire us to manage this asset, it will be

You will definitely get satisfactory profits.”

"So, so far, the result of your management is less than 60 million U.S. dollars in total?" Song Yang still smiled kindly, "But Mr. Jason was able to promise 60 million U.S. dollars to the son of Congressman White from California.

U.S. dollars allowed him to acquire a chip company called Scoop?"

Jason and Phillip were shocked and couldn't help but look at him.

Song Yang's smile faded: "I'll reiterate it again. Your situation is well understood by everyone here. If you don't want to be sent to prison by Cravath to spend the rest of your life, let us fully investigate the wealth you have grabbed and the big people you have made friends with.
Chapter completed!
