One is that they feel they are omnipotent and have everything through wealth, and they are full of pride.

The second is that they feel that the charm of money has been greatly weakened, and in many cases it has become just a string of numbers in an account. They begin to pursue other things, mainly paying more attention to their deep inner desires.

Han Chudong is now in the second stage.

More than a year has passed since he became the world's richest man. Although he still invests a lot of time in business, he has begun to believe that making or losing money itself is not important. What is important is the sense of accomplishment and enjoyment brought by the business process.

Start learning to treat business as a hobby, instead of being like ordinary people who may face the situation of having no money to spend if they stop working, which affects all aspects of life.

To be honest, even if he retired now, he would be able to maintain his position as the richest man for many years to come, and continue to widen the gap with the second place. Since the results were almost the same whether he worked hard or not, Han Chudong certainly lost his motivation.

At the beginning of the year, my six-pack abs almost merged into one. In the past few months, I realized that I should exercise, so I could start to burn off the fat accumulated from eating too many good things and attending too many parties.

After dinner, Han Chudong talked to his personal secretary and arranged the flight routes for his family. Then he put on formal clothes, a black suit with a black tie, black leather shoes, and stuffed a white handkerchief into his chest pocket.

After going downstairs again, I got in the car and set off.

A whole fleet of cars, five bulletproof Rolls-Royces, all with pure gold angel logos, specially customized seats for greater comfort, and many bottles of old wine in the small wine cabinet, including Macallan whiskey with a history of more than 40 years. Han Chudong acquired 26% of the shares of this distillery, which has been listed in London.

He was obviously not in a good mood at the moment, mainly because he was rushing to attend the funeral of old J. Paul Getty, the oil tycoon who had been famous since the 1940s and 1950s. He fell while taking a bath the night before and was found by the housekeeper, he had passed away.

Even after death, the matter could not be settled in peace. Due to this disgraceful death process, it was heavily hyped by the media.

Han Chudong had met old Getty several times and knew that the old man was not as bad as people said. In fact, he was quite interesting, knowledgeable, smart and wise. During the establishment of the family charitable foundation, he also sought advice from old Getty.

Such a legendary businessman was gone just like that. Although he lived a long life, it was still a pity. It made Han Chudong feel more deeply about the impermanence of life than the death of Howard Hughes at that time.

During this time, I told my assistant to arrange a comprehensive physical examination for me, just in case...

If what the newspapers said was true, old J. Paul Getty was simply a tyrant and a loner.

However, it can be seen from his funeral that this old rich man has a wide network of contacts. Han Chudong's arrival certainly attracted some attention, but with the arrival of the former president, the former former president, and a group of celebrities and wealthy businessmen, he did not stand out.

However, with the death of Getty Sr., he left only 500 US dollars to his descendants, which increased the gap between the total wealth of the world's second richest man and Han Chudong by nearly 10 billion US dollars.

His total net worth is over 4 billion US dollars, covering all walks of life, and is still expanding rapidly. This makes his every move the focus when he arrives. Many guests, both known and unknown, quickly gather around him and take the opportunity to make friends and chat with him.

Being complimented occasionally can make people happy both physically and mentally, but being always treated as a special person gradually made Han Chudong impatient, so he has not appeared in public very often recently, and some activities that he can participate in or not are also blocked at the secretary's office.

She only went to Monaco last month to attend a charity auction hosted by Grace Kelly, during which she also met Audrey Hepburn. One can only say that time is cruel, but it did not prevent Han Chudong from asking them for a photo.

At this time.

A middle-aged white man with a bald head came up to Han Chudong and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Han. I'm one of the executors of Mr. Getty's will. I'm from Anthony and Matthew Law Firm. Can we talk alone?"

"Will? Didn't old Mr. Getty donate all his money to the museum foundation? It has nothing to do with me, right?"

While talking, Han Chudong left the small circle and walked to the side with the unknown lawyer. They arrived early today and had not yet taken their seats in the church. People were gathered on the grass in front of the church.

"Hello, my name is John Cuno. Mr. Getty signed a supplementary agreement to his will two years ago, which gave you some sculptures and reliefs from ancient Rome and Greece. The total value is about 14.7 million US dollars. I think it is better to accept it in the name of a charity, otherwise you will have to pay a large gift tax.

Of course, this is just my suggestion. If you are willing to pay a tax, it is fine. It is just a small amount of money for you. If you plan to sell it, it is better not to use the name of charity. It all depends on your idea. "

After hearing this.

Han Chudong suddenly thought of the scene of his first meeting with old Paul Getty. At that time, he told him that he wanted to buy some old things to decorate his Garden of the Gods. Then Getty told him that he could send a batch to him after his death.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

I thought it was just a joke that would be said and forgotten, but I didn't expect it to be actually written into the will afterwards.

There are too many little secrets among the rich. As a relatively famous lawyer, John Cuno knows what to ask and what is best not to know. He has heard of the news that a colleague of his has disappeared, and he has also seen colleagues and others lose their jobs and be wrongfully imprisoned. When you reach a certain level, small things can become big things.

So even though he was curious about why old Paul Getty gave things to Han Chudong and only left five hundred dollars, which was full of irony, to his descendants, he still chose to keep his mouth shut so as not to provoke Han Chudong, the upstart in the business world.

Han Chudong sighed and nodded, "Okay, I understand. Leave me your contact information and I'll let my lawyer contact you. Can I take a look at the stuff later?"

"Of course, this is my business card... Wait a minute, I don't think I have it with me, I'll get it for you right away!"

A small episode occurred during the funeral. Not long after, Han Chudong sat in the first row of the church and saw with his own eyes old Getty lying in an ordinary coffin.

The two presidents spoke one after another, and naturally they all spoke in good words. There was also a businessman who had competed with Getty for half his life, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him lying in the coffin with his own eyes, thinking that he had won...
