The old man was certainly difficult to deal with when he was alive, and he was just like a cold-blooded businessman. However, Han Chudong felt that most of these rumors were filled with envy, jealousy and hatred. He was not as capable and lucky as the old man, and his achievements were not as high, so he had to take the opportunity to make some sarcastic remarks, as if this could heal his psychological imbalance.

Han Chudong had encountered a similar thing before, but he didn't care. He thought that the old man who was already lying in the coffin should not care even more.

Looking back at the kidnapping of J. Paul Getty III, the old man was actually not wrong. Everyone was paying attention to how stingy the richest man at the time was, but not many people knew the cause and effect.

In fact, Getty Sr. did not have deep feelings for his grandson, mainly because Getty III's mother was not interested in making a living but in her reputation. She ignored her son's wishes and resolutely brought her son, who was studying with the world's richest man, back to his distant hometown to live a life of extreme poverty.

She only considered her own ideas and ignored her son's feelings and future. Her son fell from the top of wealth to extreme poverty and his life was very chaotic. It was not until he was kidnapped that she found old Getty, the grandfather, and accused him of being unwilling to pay money to redeem her son.

Can we expect old Getty, who has many children and grandchildren, to pay much attention to a grandson with whom he hasn't contacted for a long time and with whom he doesn't have much affection?

What's more, it's not that the old man did nothing, it's just that neither the media nor the audience cares about that.

Every family has its own problems, and the Getty family's is just a little more complicated...

Outside the church.

Han Chudong ate exquisite pastries and chatted with other guests from time to time.

After everything was ready, the coffin was carried to the pit and buried, just like an ordinary person. This famous oil tycoon was buried in the ground, surrounded by tombstones. Behind each tombstone was a person's life. Maybe not as dazzling as Paul Getty's, but they were all the same after they were buried underground.

This was the first time Han Chudong attended a funeral since he came to this era. As the soil gradually buried the coffin, Getty's third son Gordon Getty made a brief speech and people left one after another.

Han Chudong personally invited Nixon, the current Secretary of Health and Human Services, and several businessmen to play golf on the brand new golf course in Beverly Hills. In addition to serving as a landscape, the biggest function of this golf course is for socializing. During this period, Han Chudong invited Nixon to serve as a consultant in his company, and the other party agreed.

It is difficult to elaborate on the specific process, but I can only say that the annual salary of $400,000 is quite sincere, and this 63-year-old man who voluntarily resigned can also be of great help to Han Chudong's business, mainly by helping to smooth out the relationship in Washington.

For a super-rich person, this is the most reasonable thing to do, and it all comes down to profit.

…

It doesn't end here.

Paul Getty's third son, Gordon Getty, took the initiative to find Han Chudong that night. The meeting place was in a private room of the Michelin two-star restaurant called Spago.

This restaurant specializes in California cuisine and is favored by many celebrities. It is also known as one of the iconic restaurants in Los Angeles. Many celebrity businessmen come here for dinner every day, such as Elizabeth Taylor, who comes here almost once a month to dine with friends.

Speaking of the reason why Han Chudong bought the Spago restaurant, it was a coincidence. After eating here a few times, the owner said that he was sick and took the initiative to give him a relatively good offer and asked if he was willing to take over. So he spent a little money to buy it. He was preparing to try to see if he could get a three-star rating. It was specially renovated a few months ago, and even the waiters wore Dior clothes and shoes, which were of extremely high quality.

The oversized California lobster was paired with delicious clam chowder. Han Chudong thought the other party came for the artworks, or wanted to do business with him, and his mind was not on the food at the moment.

After taking a sip of white wine, he asked, "Mr. Getty just held a funeral today. To be honest, I was a little surprised when I received your invitation. I don't know what the reason for the meeting is?"

"Before I tell you my request, I want to show you my father's will. I have studied it with my lawyer for a long time this afternoon. I believe my brothers and sisters have studied it as well. If there is anyone who can pry open the trust fund left by my father, you are the best candidate. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to give you a very generous reward."

Gordon Getty stared at Han Chudong and spoke seriously. It was obvious that his mind was not on the delicious food in front of him. He was completely overwhelmed by old Getty's will. Otherwise, he would not have rushed over to seek help right after the funeral.

Han Chudong was a little surprised. He didn't know much more than others about the will that had not yet surfaced in its entirety. He only knew that old Getty donated it to the museum under his name and left only $500 to his children.

Looking at Gordon Getty's cognitive expression, he vaguely realized that it was not the case. Without saying anything, he started to look through the will in his hand.

I ate while reading. The will was very thick and the rules were very detailed. I had only read about a quarter of it by the time I finished eating all the lobster tail meat.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

After losing patience, Han Chudong looked up and asked, "Tell me your idea first. What do you need me to do specifically? I need to ask a lawyer to take a look at this will. We'll talk later about whether he can agree to your request."

I just met Gordon Getty today, so we are not that familiar with each other, and of course there is no need to be too polite.

If there was profit to be made, Han Chudong might be more patient. However, he didn't even know what kind of benefits he could get, let alone what he should look for in this will.

Gordon Getty continued, "This is what I mean. According to this will, I have become the trustee of the Sarah C. Getty Trust. I will be responsible for managing this trust created in the name of my grandmother. It owns 40% of the shares and income rights of Getty Oil Company. However, I have no interest in Getty Oil Company and I want to sell it in the near future. If you are willing to lend me some money to dissolve the Sarah C. Getty Trust and pay the estate tax, I will give you a generous return."

The specific management content of each family trust is different. Han Chudong still hasn't figured it all out. At this moment, he really wants to remind himself that the news of the sale of the oil company should not be told to him, as it is a secret. However, at this moment, his attention is mainly focused on the so-called "generous returns".

Interestedly, he continued to ask, "Even if you can successfully get the money, it won't all belong to you. As far as I know, Mr. Getty has other children, that is, your brothers and sisters, and even more grandchildren..."
