Chapter 146: Living Off One's Fortune
Over the next two days, Huang Xiaochuan and Huang Boyi completed the signing of the betting agreement and guarantee contract. Huang Boyi transferred 757,500 and 3 million to his Dadao Company and personal account respectively, and gave Huang Xiaochuan the remaining 30,000 Hong Kong dollars in cash.
Both parties' lawyers were present throughout the process, and Huang Xiaochuan himself was very familiar with the contracts and agreements. He personally reviewed the performance-based agreement and the guarantee agreement.
The 2.5 million rupees were transferred between the two at a bank in Shekou, and they shook hands to celebrate the first step of the transaction.
With the Hong Kong dollars in hand, Huang Xiaochuan made arrangements for the next steps.
"Charlie, you need to rent an office as soon as possible as the company's location in Hong Kong, and then you'll be responsible for hiring the accountant and receptionist."
Cao Charlie respectfully wrote down Huang Xiaochuan's instructions in his notebook, an attitude that pleased Huang Xiaochuan greatly.
"Then you also need to help me register two offshore companies, and then use one of the offshore companies to register a clothing company and an investment company in Hong Kong. The other offshore company will act as a shareholder of the two Hong Kong companies, creating cross-shareholding."
"Okay, Mr. Huang, I've got it. I'll get on it right away."
"You drafted a confidentiality agreement. Do you understand why you're being asked to sign one?"
"I understand, Mr. Huang!"
In mainland China, some people might not take confidentiality agreements seriously, but in Hong Kong, if a practicing lawyer violates a confidentiality agreement and betrays his employer, he will be abandoned by the entire Law Society, his lawyer's license will be revoked, meaning he will never be able to enter the legal profession again. Moreover, with this black mark on his record, it will be virtually impossible for him to find a job with a large company in the future. This is equivalent to cutting off his own escape route. The cost of breaking the law is too high, so generally no one dares to do such a thing.
Huang Xiaochuan nodded in satisfaction and casually handed the HK$30,000 that Huang Boyi had given him to Cao Charlie.
"You can manage this money; just keep good records!"
At this point, Charlie Cho asked a question: "Mr. Huang, how can I contact you in the future?"
Huang Xiaochuan felt a headache coming on. This damned communication method!
We have no choice but to use the most basic method.
Huang Xiaochuan gave Cao Charlie his pager number and mobile phone number in Shanghai. As for Shenzhen, he would have to buy another pager. There was no need for a mobile phone; it would be too wasteful to have only one phone per city!
Huang Xiaochuan declined Huang Boyi's hospitality and checked into the Peninsula Hotel by himself, as he needed to stay in Hong Kong for a few more days to register the offshore company and some documents required his signature.
While Charlie Cao was handling some matters, Huang Xiaochuan went to Central alone for a stroll, mainly to check out which major brand stores were currently in Hong Kong, their decoration styles, and the latest fashion trends.
While he was at it, he also bought some gifts for Yu Xiang and the rest of the family. After going on a long trip, you always have to bring something back with you! Besides, Huang Xiaochuan himself needed a watch. It didn't have to be too good, an Omega De Ville would be fine. The key was that it had to keep accurate time. Rolexes were out of the question, since Huang Xiaochuan didn't have the same aesthetic sense as people from Hong Kong. The reason for choosing De Ville was that he could buy a matching pair, one for men and one for women. The women's watch was, of course, for Yu Xiang to wear.
Since I bought watches for myself and Yu Xiang, I might as well get a pair for Yu Wei and Tang Yuan as well. But I definitely won't choose Omega. I chose a pair of Titoni watches for them. They'll be fine as long as they're good enough. There's no need to buy anything too fancy.
And I can't forget my two mischievous twin sisters. Otherwise, if I brought big gold bracelets for my grandma and aunt but not gifts for them, they would definitely kill Huang Xiaochuan. Consider it a sacrifice to save his life. They should both graduate this June. If nothing unexpected happens, one will become a nurse and the other an accountant. They'll be starting work soon, so I'll buy them each a watch!
Huang Xiaochuan didn't plan to bring gifts for his roommates in room 222 when he came to Hong Kong. Firstly, he didn't want them to know that he had come to Hong Kong. Secondly, although he was a wealthy man, he was not a spendthrift. He wouldn't spend money that he shouldn't. They could afford it themselves in the future. By then, they would all be millionaires. Would they still be afraid of not being able to afford a watch?

On July 18, Cao Charlie took Huang Xiaochuan to an office in the office building he had just rented. The office was not large, only about 7 square meters. The receptionist and finance staff were already in place, and the company logo was still being made and would be ready soon.
Charlie Cao and all the company employees met with Huang Xiaochuan. The receptionist's eyes lit up when she saw how handsome her boss was.
As the boss, Huang Xiaochuan also gave everyone a red envelope (containing money) for good luck.
Cao Charlie's execution ability greatly satisfied Huang Xiaochuan. Not only did he handle these matters, but he also had the documents for registering the offshore company and the two Hong Kong companies registered in the name of the offshore company signed by Huang Xiaochuan.
An offshore company called "Echopsis tubiflora" (abbreviated as ET Investment) is involved.
There is also an investment called "Flying Apsaras" (abbreviated as FA).
These two names were chosen to commemorate the tragedy that occurred that night. Huang Xiaochuan will never forget the feeling of flying while sitting on the cactus.
Although Cao Charlie thought the name Huang Xiaochuan had chosen was a bit strange, he still strictly followed Huang Xiaochuan's instructions. How could he possibly know what Huang Xiaochuan was thinking?
In comparison, the names of Hong Kong companies are more normal. For example, a clothing company in Hong Kong is named "Level".
The investment company is named "Long Red Venture Capital" (LR Investment).
Both companies are under the name of the offshore company ET, and FA Investment is a shareholder of both companies. The actual controller of both companies is Huang Xiaochuan.
In this way, Huang Xiaochuan is hidden from investor information through joint investment. Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan will continue to register multiple offshore companies through other means to cross-hold shares in the future. At that time, Huang Xiaochuan will completely control these companies from behind the scenes.
While Dadao Trading is nominally unrelated to those companies, it is actually under Huang Xiaochuan's control.
Currently, Charlie Cao's position is General Manager of Dadao Trading.
Although the Peninsula Hotel costs as much as HK$1,800 per night, this amount of money is nothing to Huang Xiaochuan.
He asked Charlie Cho to buy him a lot of drawing pens and drawing paper, and locked himself in the Peninsula Hotel to draw many simple diagrams.
In his previous life, Huang Xiaochuan worked in foreign trade and had dealt with garment processing companies quite a bit. He was extremely familiar with the popular clothes from his past life!
Furthermore, Huang Xiaochuan's simple line drawings are quite good. Although they can't compare to professionals, they are sufficient. We can just ask a professional fashion designer to sketch them out again.
As a former birthplace of garment manufacturing, Hong Kong has a large number of people engaged in garment design. However, with the relocation of the garment industry, these people are finding it increasingly difficult to make a living. Therefore, Charlie Cho easily recruited several garment designers who were facing employment bottlenecks.
Cao Charlie's next task was simple: he just needed to take the finalized clothing design drawings to apply for patents and copyrights.
Huang Xiaochuan worked tirelessly in the hotel for eight days, finalizing and applying for 322 clothing patents and versions, all with a style geared towards young people. Huang Xiaochuan planned to produce fast-moving consumer goods.
Huang Xiaochuan also visited several professional decoration companies in Hong Kong to learn about the decoration styles of some big-name clothing stores in Hong Kong.
However, as the company hired more and more employees, Huang Xiaochuan felt that his wallet was getting a little tight.
The company's monthly expenses are nearly HK$100,000, which includes employee salaries, office rent, and so on. Before the business gets going, it's like sitting around eating up all the savings.
Moreover, Huang Xiaochuan is unable to transfer money from the mainland to Hong Kong; he can only rely on Hong Kong's status as an Asian financial center to generate more money.
So Huang Xiaochuan asked Cao Charlie to buy him a lot of newspapers and magazines every day, especially those on finance, hoping to find some clues in them.
Persistence pays off, and Huang Xiaochuan finally discovered that the Nikkei index was somewhat abnormal.
