Bind to the collection system, I became a national treasure
Chapter 28 Black Rose Foundation
The Bund, Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
Several bodyguards pushed open the door of the private meeting room. Bai Xi walked into the meeting room, followed closely by Xiao Rui.
Bai Xi and Xiao Rui had just finished signing the contract at ManpowerGroup and were originally chatting. Xiao Rui also wanted to get to know his new boss better, but Bai Xi suddenly received a call. After saying a few words and hanging up the phone, he told him that the first thing he needed to do was here, so he brought him here.
Xiao Rui didn't ask any more questions, but just followed Bai Xi calmly, constantly collecting information about the surrounding environment.
In the conference hall, two elderly foreigners had been waiting for a long time. One was dressed like a European aristocrat, with a neat and straight tuxedo and a black top hat, while the other was dressed in a suit and tie, carrying a black briefcase.
Seeing Bai Xi being escorted in, the two old men probably knew that this was the real boss, so they stood up together. The gentleman in a tuxedo spoke first:
"Miss Bai, I'm Gurney Fleet, the supervisor of the Black Rose Foundation. I just spoke with you on the phone. Perhaps you find our arrival a little strange. I'll explain the reason for our visit later."
"Hello, Chairman. I am Leo Stov, Secretary General of the Black Rose Foundation."
As Gurney Fleet finished speaking, the man in the suit took over and bowed slightly to introduce himself to Bai Xi.
When the two old men introduced themselves, Bai Xi offered a hand to support them. "I am Bai Xi. I have a general idea of your purpose. Thank you for your hard work. Please take a seat."
The two old men looked at each other, somewhat surprised, because they had only found out that the heir chosen by the previous chairman of the foundation was actually a Chinese after the will was unsealed a few days ago. However, Bai Xi said that she knew why they came, and it seemed that the chairman had already made arrangements.
The three of them sat down. Bai Xi originally wanted Xiao Rui to sit down as well, but he shook his head slightly and stood behind her.
Gurney Fleet took the black briefcase from Leo Stov and said, "Miss Bai, we are here because our foundation's founder, Ms. Leblanc, has made a will and has chosen you as the heir to the Black Rose.
We have brought here not only the Black Rose Foundation's Chairman's Letter of Appointment, but also all the asset certificates held by the foundation, so that you can have a comprehensive understanding of the Black Rose Foundation."
"Ok."
Bai Xi nodded, indicating that they could start talking, and turned to look at his personal assistant. Xiao Rui knew that the highlight was about to begin, and immediately perked up.
From Gurney Fleet's narration, Bai Xi also had a general understanding of the Black Rose Foundation.
The assets held by the foundation are roughly divided into four parts.
The first area is real estate investment, which accounts for 30% of the Black Rose Foundation's total assets. Since the 70s, the Black Rose Foundation has invested heavily in real estate in Europe and Asia, including castles in Europe, apartments in Tokyo, independent islands in the Maldives, and land ownership in first-tier cities in Xia Country.
The current value of these properties alone exceeds 20 billion RMB, but the actual value of these properties should be more than 20 billion, because the value of these properties has been in a state of continuous appreciation with the development of the global economy.
The second area is financial investment, which also accounts for 30% of total assets. This investment primarily encompasses private equity, stocks, bonds, gold, foreign exchange, and venture capital. According to Gurney Fleet, the Black Rose Foundation actually holds initial public offerings (IPOs) in numerous European and American technology companies, including Silicon Valley giants like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Facebook. While only a small shareholder, the value of these holdings is steadily increasing.
The third aspect is gold, which accounts for 35% of the total assets. The gold mentioned here refers to real gold that can be seen and touched. A full 5 tons of gold, worth 25 billion RMB, is stored by the Black Rose Foundation at the headquarters of Citibank, UBS, Xiaguo Bank, and Xiaguo Industrial and Commercial Bank.
For the Black Rose Foundation, these golds are equivalent to strategic reserve funds. In case of any unexpected events, these golds can give Black Rose a chance to turn things around. All these assets have never been misappropriated since the establishment of the Black Rose Foundation.
The fourth part is the charitable fund, which accounts for about 5% of the total assets. This is also in line with the relevant legal provisions of international foundations. Charitable foundations must spend 5% of their total assets each year to enjoy tax exemption rights.
For this part of assets, the Black Rose Foundation has maintained a good balance between income and expenditure, and has also funded many outstanding talents in various industries around the world. These can be regarded as an invisible asset of the Black Rose Foundation.
By the time Bai Xi had fully understood the asset allocation of the Black Rose Foundation, more than an hour had passed.
"Ms. Bai, according to Ms. Leblanc's will, you are the sole beneficiary of the Black Rose Foundation. There are some legal documents that will require your signature.
Once you sign, the entire Black Rose Foundation will officially be yours, and you will be able to freely transfer all of its assets."
As Gurney Fleet said this, he took out another document and pushed it in front of Bai Xi.
This is an asset donation contract in both Chinese and English. The donor is Leblanc Orianna and the recipient is Bai Xi.
Bai Xi handed the contract to Xiao Rui who was behind her. He checked it carefully, then put it back in front of Bai Xi and nodded to her. Bai Xi then signed her name and pressed her fingerprints behind the recipient.
With the signing of this document, the Black Rose Foundation, which is actually worth far more than one billion pounds, is now in Bai Xi's hands. It also means that the assets that Bai Xi can mobilize have officially reached the level of a billionaire.
After completing the whole process, it was almost dinner time. Gurney Fleet and Leo Stov, who had finally fulfilled the hostess's last wish, breathed a sigh of relief. The fatigue from the past few days suddenly came to their minds, and they became very tired.
Bai Xi noticed this and arranged for someone to take them to rest first, and then have dinner together after they had rested enough. The two old men did not refuse. After all, they were too old to bear it. They exchanged greetings and followed the bodyguard to the room.
After Gurney Fleet and Leo Stov left, Bai Xi turned around and knocked on the table. Xiao Rui understood, closed the door, and walked up to her.
"Xiao Rui, it's your turn to connect with them from now on. What are your thoughts?"
"Boss, I'll first take a look at the entire foundation. If it's running well, I suggest we don't make any moves on the overseas portion. Based on the asset allocation just now and the information I understand, the foundation can provide us with over 1 million in cash flow each year, not counting the added value.
In addition, the domestic real estate use rights can be handed over to me for handling, and a large amount of value can be realized through replacement."
Xiao Rui put forward all his thoughts and answered Bai Xi's questions respectfully.
"Very good, then do as you say.
Oh, and there are two things I need you to do. One is Shanghai Jiahui International Hospital, which is also my business. I need you to come up with a plan to improve it and attract more famous doctors. The other is to arrange a car for you and me, with no budget limit.
"...Boss, I've been fooled. Being your personal assistant is no easier than being the secretary to the CEO of a Fortune 100 company."
Xiao Rui scratched his head and smiled bitterly. He knew that it was impossible for such a simple thing to receive such a high salary.
"Haha, at least the treatment is comparable, isn't it?"
Bai Xi blinked, a sly smile on his face.
Now that we've boarded the pirate ship, we can only go to the end. Only when it's challenging can it be valuable. Xiao Rui could only comfort himself in this way, and then he would retreat and get back to work.
It felt so good to be the boss and leave everything to chance. Bai Xi lay there happily for a while and was about to go home when his cell phone rang again.
"Mr. Lu?"
"Miss Bai, I found what you wanted last time."
"So fast, Mr. Lu is really reliable."
"Miss Bai's instructions are naturally the top priority, but I'm afraid there's only one place in the entire Xia Kingdom that can find everything you want."
"where is it?"
"Imperial Capital, Qingwen Book Studio."
