Chapter 15 Inheritance
Chapter 15 Inheritance
After sitting on the sofa for a while, Chen Jiang felt that his mindset had completely calmed down.
It's just inheriting a billion-dollar fortune. He won the lottery a couple of days ago, a prize he could never win... Even if the amount is slightly different, as long as he's still lucky, a billion-dollar fortune is just a matter of time.
Moreover, it's a billion yuan after all, and it's related to a behemoth like R&F Group. Who knows how many messes might follow? In short, he shouldn't be too happy yet, and should wait and see what the specific situation is before making any decisions.
Having made up his mind, Chen Jiang's phone rang at that moment. He answered the call, and it was an unfamiliar voice, but the tone was very respectful.
"Hello, are you Mr. Chen Jiang?"
"I am."
"I'm Xiao Wang, Mr. Yan's driver. I'm already downstairs at your building. You can leave at any time."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiang turned to Nina and told her to stay home and do her best, or if she was really bored, she could take a taxi back to find Margarita.
He quickly went downstairs and immediately saw a very conspicuous Mercedes-Maybach parked downstairs.
Upon seeing Chen Jiang approach, the driver, Xiao Wang, dressed in a suit and with a sharp posture, quickly came over and opened the car door.
"Mr. Chen, please get in the car, we'll be leaving right away."
"Thanks."
Chen Jiang nodded, sat in the back seat, and waited for the driver to get back in the car so they could head towards their destination.
During the journey, Chen Jiang originally wanted to chat with the driver named Xiao Wang, but after noticing that the other party was focused on driving and had no intention of chatting, he had no choice but to give up.
Watching the street scene outside the car window rush past, twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a tall building.
Chen Jiang got out of the car, and the Maybach behind him drove away.
Just as he was wondering where to go next, a young, beautiful woman with a great figure, dressed in professional office attire, walked over and spoke in a sweet voice:
"Mr. Chen, I am Mr. Yan's secretary. Please come with me. Mr. Yan is waiting for you."
"Oh, okay, please lead the way."
Although he had indeed made plans in his mind, Chen Jiang was still a little reserved because he had never seen or experienced anything like this before. Fortunately, his incredible luck gave him a lot of confidence, so he didn't show any fear.
I followed the pretty secretary upstairs, and after walking for another minute, we finally arrived at an office.
The pretty secretary stopped, turned around, and gestured for Chen Jiang to come in. Without much hesitation, he pushed open the door and entered the room.
The room was much simpler than expected.
There was an office desk made of some unknown material, but it looked rather unusual, along with a boss's chair. Opposite them were a sofa and a coffee table. They didn't seem particularly special.
Yan Wenshuo, whom I had seen before, was sitting on the sofa with a man wearing glasses next to him, examining something. Two men in suits were standing on the side of the sofa, carrying bags.
Upon hearing the door open, they all turned around and Yan Wenshuo greeted them with a smile:
"Mr. Chen, you've come at the right time. Attorney Wang and I are reviewing the various clauses of the will regarding the division of property. Once we're done, we can proceed with the handover procedures. Please sit here for a moment."
"Um... okay." Chen Jiang nodded, then walked over and said somewhat awkwardly, "Um... Mr. Yan, please don't call me Mr. Chen, just call me by my name."
"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Chen from now on. Anyway, I'm quite a bit older than you." Yan Wenshuo didn't care about this little thing at all, and after replying casually, he turned to ask, "Attorney Wang, how did it go?"
Attorney Wang appeared quite professional. He put down the contract documents in his hand, glanced at Chen Jiang out of the corner of his eye, and then replied:
"It's basically confirmed."
"Most of Chairman Liu's wealth actually comes from company shares; the amount of cash he has left is not that much."
"They are mainly fixed assets, such as houses... but these are actually more or less related to the company, so it would be quite troublesome for Mr. Chen to inherit them, and the company would need to handle this matter."
That's absolutely true.
Yan Wenshuo nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then turned to Chen Jiang: "Xiao Chen, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Jiang didn't understand, scratching his head: "Ah, I don't have any ideas?"
Yan Wenshuo couldn't help but laugh, and simply turned to the lawyer Wang next to him and said:
"Alright, this young man really hasn't been exposed to these things before, and he really doesn't understand them, so let's not waste any more words."
"I've taken charge of this matter, Attorney Wang. You need to separate all the fixed assets related to the chairman and the company, and then give me a detailed figure for the rest, as well as the separated assets."
"Those that are clean and have no other entanglements will be inherited by him directly. The rest that are troublesome or difficult to sort out will be temporarily placed with me, and I will repay him in other ways."
Attorney Wang quickly looked down and flipped through the documents, then began to calculate with a pen and calculator. After a while, he looked up again:
"In that case, the cash that can be directly transferred is only about 230 million."
"The remaining four properties in Shenzhen, one property in Shanghai, two properties in Beijing, and several properties and shops in Nanjing, along with various collectibles and assets under the company, are not easy to hand over. Mr. Chen is capable of inheriting them, but it will take some time to complete the handover."
"As for the rest..."
Yan Wenshuo waved his hand: "I'll take care of the rest. Just use these to prepare."
"Yes, Mr. Yan."
Seeing that he had no objections, Attorney Wang immediately got to work.
"Xiao Chen, let's be frank," Yan Wenshuo said, turning to Chen Jiang with a smile. "The inheritance you've received is quite substantial, so no matter what, it's impossible to get 100% of it."
"So, besides the cash, how about I return all your remaining fixed assets to you in another way?"
Chen Jiang genuinely knew nothing about these things, so he could only bite the bullet and ask:
"Mr. Yan, what method?"
Yan Wenshuo smiled slightly:
"Here's the thing, R&F Group is currently preparing to enter the financial capital market, so it has set up an investment company. The initial investment is about 10 billion yuan. I was originally supposed to lead it, but the chairman had an accident, so I had to take over temporarily and was unable to continue to be in charge."
"However, this is something I've been pushing for, so I'm not prepared to give up."
"My question to you is, would you be willing to exchange your troubled assets for a 10% stake in this investment company?"
