Chapter 845: How many billions?
Seeing that everyone understood his thoughts, Chu Yan nodded: "That's all I wanted to say. If anyone has any thoughts, feel free to speak up now. I'll address any issues. I don't want you to look at A-Yin with pity or say things like, 'What a pity, if only we had known this or that,' when I'm not around. I don't want that to happen. I just want her to be happy."
Grandpa Gu's initial concern was only about Gu Yin's future when she got old. But now that his wife had spoken, he realized that Gu Yin was different from the people in the village and different from everyone he knew. He thought he should change his mind.
"I have a question. You say you don't want children now, but that's your current thought. What if you regret it when you're in your forties or fifties, Ayan? What if you want them? What if Ayin gets older and you go out and find someone else? That's what I'm worried about. I'm a man, I understand men. Feelings can change in an instant. How will Ayin cope then?" In his years in Beijing, Gu Qingming has seen too many couples who initially said they didn't want children, but as they got older, they envied others. Then the woman couldn't have children anymore, and the man went out and found someone else, leading to a chaotic life. In middle age, things often become even more messy!
Before Chu Yan could speak, Gu Yin laughed: "Uncle, you don't need to worry about that. If he really wants it, then he can have it. As for what I should do, I'll do it. I can live without him. I have a career, a family, money, and good looks. I won't waste my energy on anything unworthy. If you are heartless, then I will leave. It's very simple. Love is not everything in life. If you have it, cherish it. If you don't, don't force it. Allow everything to happen, and then love yourself well. Instead of thinking about this and that, you might as well do more experiments and make more money. Then you'll see who regrets it."
Chu Yan, standing next to him, looked exasperated: "What nonsense are you talking about? Uncle, you don't need to worry about this. I've already had my tubal ligation done."
...
The silence around them was deafening.
Gu Yin was also surprised that Chu Yan actually went to have the surgery.
"Well, this is the children's business, let them decide for themselves. By the way, this is our wedding ceremony for Ayin. We got married in a hurry before, and the wedding couldn't be held. Although she's back now, it's a special time, so we still can't have it, but we still have to give her the gifts she deserves." Old Master Chu was speechless at how hard his grandson was trying. He couldn't keep his mouth shut in public! It's better to talk about it in private!
"Yes, yes, these are things our family left for our granddaughter-in-law. Ayin, come and take over some of them, and sign something while you're at it. By the way, can you sign? This won't have any impact, will it?" Old Mrs. Chu took the documents from the lawyer, and then realized that Gu Yin's identity was special, and she didn't know if she could sign the contract.
The worthless Chu Yan was pushed aside by the old lady, who then pulled Gu Yin aside and began to question her.
Even today, male sterilization is still uncommon. Although advancements in medical technology have made sterilization surgery safer, simpler, and with a shorter recovery period, multiple factors, including social attitudes, cultural traditions, and individual psychological factors, still make many men hesitant to undergo sterilization, and many elders feel ashamed of it.
Chu Yan's actions were unexpected by everyone. Even though the surgery was insignificant to Chu Yan himself, the fact that he had this idea in this era was truly shocking.
Madam Chu gave Chu Yan a thumbs up, and Chu Xiong patted Chu Yan on the shoulder as well.
Chu Yan smiled but didn't say anything. He had thought about this matter long ago and had already done so. He wasn't saying it to get praise; there was nothing to praise about it. He was just saying it to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
Faced with Grandma Chu's question, Gu Yin didn't know either: "I don't know, no need to give it to me, I don't need anything, Grandma, you can keep it!"
The old lady insisted: "This is for my granddaughter-in-law. I won't feel at ease until you get it. I'm too old to bother with it. Take it and I'll be happy to relax! Call and ask if she can sign it. Be good."
The old lady doesn't need to personally safeguard her collections like jewelry and calligraphy; they're all looked after by designated people. She's just saying that to convince me to accept it.
Gu Yin smiled helplessly and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask."
After finishing speaking, I called Mr. Jin at the base. After clarifying what it was, he said that I could sign, but I couldn't keep the overseas assets.
Gu Yin nodded to the old lady, who happily laid out the twenty-centimeter-high documents one by one.
"Come on, come on, these are villas and sea-view properties in first- and second-tier cities across the country, this is an estate, these are overseas properties. If you can't sign these, then take them out. These are antiques, jewelry, and famous paintings, and these are company shares. Sign them all, and give them to the lawyer after you've signed them."
Looking at all these documents, Gu Yin felt that she wouldn't be able to finish signing them all in a short time: "Can I use my personal seal?"
The lawyer standing nearby spoke up: "Madam, you can use your personal seal, but your signature can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. I suggest you sign it, and it would be best to sign it along with your personal seal to prevent any future problems."
Gu Yin looked at the old lady, who shook her head: "Please, sign it!"
Alright, Gu Yin began to write.
Not far away, Gu Shu tugged at Gu Hua and exclaimed, "I thought our family was already very rich. My understanding of money was just a string of numbers, and I didn't have a clear concept of what a billionaire was. But now, looking at those documents, and the things Grandma Chu was talking about, especially those calligraphy and paintings, those are things that are only found in books! Priceless treasures! They're so rich! Even novels wouldn't dare to write something like this!"
"No, the novels are even more exaggerated than this, but we've truly witnessed the profound heritage of these wealthy and powerful families today. This is just the tip of the iceberg," Gu Hua exclaimed in amazement.
Gu Yin signed for about ten minutes, stopping when she was signing the final equity transfer agreement.
"20% equity? Isn't that too much?" Although the Chu Group belongs to the Chu family, it is not wholly controlled by the Chu family. There are also some shareholders and scattered shareholders. She remembered that the Chu family only owns 65% of the shares, Chu Xiong owns 25%, and the remaining shareholders each own 10%. If she gets 20%, wouldn't she have the most shares in the Chu Group? This is not good for the development of the group.
Chu Xiong, standing beside him, smiled and said, "Your 20% is also given to you, since he has severed ties with us. So all his things are yours. The remaining 10% is from me. This is the Chu family's rule. Just take it. Anyway, our family's total shares are still the most in the group. After this incident, those individual shareholders sold their shares, and I bought them all back. So you don't need to worry. I still have the most shares. Sign it."
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this and signed her name.
"Wow, 20% equity, how much dividends will that be in a year?" Gu Shu walked over to Ah Le and asked softly.
Gu Le explained, "Based on the group's profit of 50 billion last year, my sister's annual dividend is 2 billion." That's not much. They have full control over Zhoujiagang City, and his sister receives tens of billions in dividends every year!
At that moment, a flood of zeros flashed through Gu Shu's mind! It was terrifying! So much money!
"Your annual dividends will be deposited into your account regularly. Once it's yours, it's yours. Whether you save it, spend it, or use it for experiments is up to you. You don't need to tell us. If you don't have enough money, remember to tell us!" Chu Xiong said magnanimously after signing his name.
With so much money, Gu Yin didn't really have anywhere to spend it, so she might use it for experiments later.
