253: Chapter 253: Investing in Hong Kong Real Estate 253: Chapter 253: Investing in Hong Kong Real Estate Yusuf Zuck had two mobile phones on him; he turned one off, but the other was still active, so the fact that the Petty Family couldn’t reach him didn’t an others couldn’t find him either.
Of course, the Petty Family pulled out all the stops, aiming to locate Yusuf Zuck during his ti in Hong Kong to have him lend a hand, helping them resolve a major issue.
Yusuf Zuck guessed that the Petty Family’s trouble was serious, which is why he decisively turned off his phone, because he had no wish to get involved in that kind of…that kind of underworld conflict.
How he threw his weight around in society, or squandered money in the business world didn’t matter, but he knew that once he got involved in the Petty Family’s strife, it would never end.
Eventually, it would entangle more people, and he would make even more formidable enemies; thus, he kept his distance, refusing even if the Petty Family offered him a lot of money.
Your Petty Family has troubles, well, that’s your Petty Family’s business.
Yusuf Zuck had his own issues to deal with.
The Nash family had been quiet for too long; the overseas casinos, as well as the rcenary Jeff Frost, among others, posed potential dangers and threats, so he didn’t want to attract more trouble.
He didn’t have the ans or enough capital; attracting too much fire would eventually burn him, and even if it didn’t burn him, it would certainly reach his family, which was the last thing he wanted.
At a fast-food restaurant in Central Hong Kong, Yusuf Zuck and Marlon Shepherd sat together enjoying their al.
Marlon had arrived quickly, reaching Hong Kong before it even got dark.
He had a Hong Kong and Macau travel permit; he also frequently visited Hong Kong since he was a lawyer and had connections with securities, so he was a regular visitor.
“You, the big boss, sure are stingy, only treating to fast food, but I’m full anyway,” Marlon patted his round belly and said.
“Hehe, actually, I’m quite good at cooking.
When we get back to the capital, I’ll personally whip up a few dishes for you!” Yusuf Zuck laughed and said.
“The big boss cooking for , that will be an honor, haha,” Marlon laughed heartily.
These days, he felt particularly confident because he had money in his hand, and he had found what he truly wanted, so he was working hard towards his dream.
“You have beco quite a smooth talker, but let’s talk about the investnt company,” Yusuf Zuck looked at Marlon.
Even though he acted as a hands-off Shopkeeper, the investnt company was a top priority, so he needed to stay inford.
“All the paperwork is almost ready, and we expect to register with the business bureau next week.
Hmm, also, we have hired so people, rented an office space, and so on—all these have financial statents, which you will need to review every week or every month after we open.”
“I took the liberty of deciding on matters like the employees’ salaries; I understand them better than you do.
But don’t worry, I won’t cheat you out of your money, because your money is practically my money too—you earn, and I earn with you.”
“Also, don’t forget, I have a fixed salary too—for running errands, flying here and there, all that costs money, so I’m not going to stand on ceremony with you!” Marlon was frank, not mincing his words at all.
“Alright, you can have full authority on that,” Yusuf conceded.
“Actually, the idea behind this investnt company is for it to be your personal investnt advisory team, later on, taking no external business, just the tasks you give, or those we discern from market research, then making corresponding investnts.”
“The team is not fully assembled yet; when it is, you, the big boss, will need to make an appearance.
At that ti, I’ll write up so of the details for you to review first and then consider things like incentives.
In short, , and eventually the whole team, will be at your service, managing your endless wealth!”
“Of course, that’s not all there is to it,” Marlon went on: “Once the team is operational, we’ll also keep proper records of your personal assets, including investnt in pharmaceuticals, personal residences, bank deposits, and so forth.
We’ll investigate and analyze the revenue ratio of the pharmaceuticals, market shares, and so on, then present the reports to you in the form of statents.”
“In a nutshell, we’ll record every aspect concerning your affairs, your use of funds, conduct market research, scientific analysis, and even consult on your personal investnts, at the very least providing oversight,” Marlon explained.
“Won’t all my secrets then be known to you all?” Yusuf blinked and asked.
“Only I will know your secrets, like your net worth—the specifics, at least.
So, you don’t have to worry about that!
I’ll assign each person to manage a different aspect when the ti cos,” Miles O’brien reassured him.
“Of course, if there’s sothing you’d rather keep from , I won’t know it.
It’s not like I’m going to investigate your bank accounts; I’m not the court.
What I an is, I’ll know as much as you’re willing to disclose to !”
Suddenly, Yusuf Zuck asked a seemingly unrelated question, “What would you do if sothing unexpected happened to one day?”
Marlon Shepherd was taken aback for a mont, then nodded, “Our professional advisory team will definitely make the necessary legal arrangents in advance.
You should think about this beforehand and eventually draft a legal docunt.”
“If there’s no legal docunt, we would distribute your investnt company’s inheritance according to a set ratio.
If you’re unmarried, your money will go to your father and sister.
If you’re married or have children, we would also distribute it appropriately.”
“Rember, the investnt company is just your team; we’re only employees and can’t access the money in your company’s accounts.
So, even if you’re no longer here, we would continue to operate and follow the law, ensuring inheritance goes to whoever it should,” Marlon explained.
“Heh, Marlon, I’ve realized that you’re quite the talent.
Having you help is a privilege,” Yusuf Zuck said, extending his hand.
“Don’t flatter yourself.
Why did you call all the way to Hong Kong?” Marlon asked with a laugh as they shook hands.
“I just made another two billion, and I have no idea where to spend it, so I’m planning to invest it in Hong Kong real estate.
At least two residential properties that don’t need to be villas but must be duplexes or similar large residences.
And if the two properties don’t use up all the two billion, it would be great to invest the rest in a street-front shop, the rent isn’t bad either!”
“Another two billion?” Marlon couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Even the mint doesn’t print money as fast as you make it.
But your investnt choice is solid.
Real estate in Hong Kong is certainly a gold mine; it won’t lose value.”
“Yeah, so in the next few days, help buy the properties and handle the paperwork.
I’ll wait for you, then we’ll head back to the capital together.”
“We can rent out the street-front shop, but what about the high-end residences?
Are we renting them out or leaving them vacant?”
“We’ll rent one out and leave the other vacant.
I might bring my girlfriend over to hang out in the future,” Yusuf Zuck said with a smile.
“Speaking of which, which one is your girlfriend?
Faye Webb?
The nurse?
Louise Garrett?
I’ve been watching for a while but can’t tell,” Marlon inquired.
“Why the hell are you snooping?
It’s not an employee’s place to pry into their boss’s personal life.
Just get on with the work, find us a hotel.
Book the room for ; I’ve been out all day waiting for you to check in!”
“Got it, understood.
Are you worried soone might be looking for you?” Marlon asked, puzzled.
“Yeah, so people want my help, but I’d rather not deal with them.
They’ve got so influence in Hong Kong, so I don’t want them to find .
Don’t worry, though; it’s not dangerous.”
“Alright, let’s stay at the InterContinental Hotel then.
But I have a suggestion: after buying the property, you’ll also need to buy a parking space and a car; otherwise, you’ll have to rely on taxis or the subway whenever you co to Hong Kong.”
Yusuf Zuck replied, “You can go ahead and buy the parking space, but forget about the car.
I won’t be in Hong Kong that often.
Tomorrow, I’ll buy a bicycle, one that I can carry upstairs.
It’s much more convenient to get around.”
