The Mandarin Oriental Hotel is located in Central. The taxi stopped at the door. When Lin Yi got out of the car and saw the sign, he thought of a person, his brother Leslie Cheung. Later Leslie Cheung jumped from this Mandarin Oriental.
Leslie Cheung has just debuted in this life and will become famous in a few years.
A good hotel does not necessarily have service.
Lin Yi finished taking a hot bath and just lay down on the bed when the phone on the bedside table rang, "Sir, do you need room service? We have the most beautiful massage girls here, so we can ensure that you are young and beautiful..."
"unnecessary."
As soon as I put down the phone, there was a humming sound coming from the room next to me. Damn it, the soundproofing in a big hotel is not good either.
Fortunately, it stopped after three minutes.
Lin Yi smiled softly and said, "Isn't it a waste of money to play with just this kidney?"
Lin Yi took out the magazine from the space and flipped through it.
Entertainment magazines have a wide variety of contents, including anecdotes about celebrities and the like, but in fact they have no nutrition at all. As for those current affairs magazines, they often quote foreign viewpoints and view domestic views from novel and tricky angles.
Most people are not optimistic about it, and very few are optimistic about it.
At this time, Rabbit was still a completely third-world country in their eyes. No one would have guessed that Rabbit would develop so fast in the next few decades, which surprised many people and broke the hearts of many countries.
One place.
Read the newspaper.
The content of Hong Kong newspapers is relatively trivial, and the content of daily and evening newspapers is average, but Lin Yi feels that some content in economic newspapers is of some use.
For example, most gold trend analysis is relatively bearish. The price of gold has surged too high this time. It has doubled in two years. It can be described as crazy.
Lin Yi had read about the gold trend during this period in his economics textbook, and he even did it as an exercise.
In 1978, the Bretton Woods system collapsed and the U.S. dollar was decoupled from gold. From then on, the printing of U.S. dollars was no longer restricted by gold, and the price of gold began to rise. The war between the two countries in 1979 and the Soviet Union's war in Afghanistan in 1980 further pushed up the price of gold.
In more than two years, gold has risen from more than 300 US dollars per ounce to nearly 600 US dollars. Lin Yi knows that historically, the price of gold began to plummet when it was close to 600, and in the next two years, it basically fell back to the original 300.
USD price range.
Countless investors cried in tears.
When selling gold today, the gold price quoted by the gold store was US$577 per ounce. It seems that this round of gold prices is about to reach its peak.
This period is the best time to sell gold, so don't keep it in your hands. In the futures market, chasing gold at a high price now is tantamount to committing suicide.
If Lin Yi had money, he would short a wave of gold, and he would definitely make a lot of money, but it still requires time. This round of rise is not over yet, it is still climbing slowly, and will be followed by a consolidation. This process will continue for about half a year.
After entering the downward channel, it will take about a year or two to drop from nearly 600 US dollars to 300 US dollars.
Let's talk about it based on the situation.
Lin Yi turned to the advertising section of the economic newspaper. There were many advertisements here, including advertisements for law firms.
He plans to register two companies, but he doesn't know the current international policies and doesn't know if he can use his passport to register, so he plans to ask a lawyer.
if it is possible,
These lawyers will be hired to help him handle it.
This is one of Lin Yi's goals in coming to Hong Kong.
The most important thing now is to find a suitable law firm. Lin Yi considered finding a young and inexperienced lawyer. Such lawyers are cheaper. However, after thinking about it, he gave up this idea and decided to find a big law firm. They are stronger and more professional.
Have credibility.
Linklaters, a British law firm with a branch in Hong Kong, King & Wood Mallesons, one of the top ten law firms in Hong Kong, Mayer Brown, founded in 1886, Baker McKenzie, one of the top ten law firms in the United States
law firm, which opened a branch in Hong Kong in 1973.
Lin Yi thought about it for a while and decided to go to Baker McKenzie tomorrow, put down the newspaper and get ready to go to bed.
Lin Yi remembered another thing.
He needs to communicate with the other party tomorrow. He believes that the other party will definitely speak Mandarin or Cantonese, but if he can communicate in English, it will definitely have better results.
Lin Yi knew English, but it was only at CET-4 or CET-6 level. He had no problem teaching Zuo Xiaoqing, but his communication skills were a bit poor.
My heart calls to the system panel.
Player: Lin Yi.
Wallet: 495882 yuan.
Skills: Level 1 physical enhancement, Cantonese.
System mall: golden space, physical enhancement, language pack.
Originally, the wallet had reached more than 600,000. During this period, Lin Yi made a large purchase of gold, and the funds dropped to less than 500,000.
certainly,
There are still more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars stored in Lin Yi's space.
Be cruel.
"Purchase English Language Pack."
"Buy the American English Language Pack."
Wow,
The wallet number jumped rapidly, decreasing by 110,000, and a large amount of knowledge poured into Lin Yi's mind instantly. Now Lin Yi has mastered pure British English and American English.
sometimes,
I feel bad when I spend money.
But when you spend money to buy good things, you will feel that the money was well spent.
...
Baker McKenzie, Hong Kong Branch,
automatic door opens,
Lin Yi walked into the lobby, and the service lady came over and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you have an appointment with a lawyer?"
"No, it's my first time here and I want to find a lawyer."
"What kind of lawyer do you need?"
"Company registration, financial and economic aspects."
"Okay, please come over here." The waitress took Lin Yi to a lounge, brewed another cup of coffee for him, and then went to inform someone.
have to say,
The service is quite good.
About ten minutes later, the service lady came over and asked Lin Yi to go to another room. A foreigner in his thirties stood up and greeted Lin Yi in English, "Hello, sir, my name is David."
.Hawkes is an economic lawyer and a partner of a law firm. You can call me David."
"Hello David, my name is Lin Yi." Lin Yi said in English.
David shook hands with Lin Yi, asked Lin Yi to sit down, and asked with a smile: "How can I help you?"
"I would like to inquire about setting up two companies." Lin Yi expressed his intention directly.
"No problem, this is my area of expertise. What kind of company do you want to set up?" David said.
"I want to set up a company in overseas offshore locations such as the Cayman Islands or the Virgin Islands, and a company in Hong Kong, and use the offshore company to manage the Hong Kong company. The shareholder information of both companies needs to be completely confidential."
David nodded, "It can be done, it's not difficult."
Lin Yi took out his passport from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is my ID. Is there any problem with registering with my passport?"
This is Lin Yi's biggest worry. Although Lin Yi studied economics and management, he has never been exposed to offshore companies and company registration in Hong Kong before. He doesn't know the regulations. Moreover, it is 1980. If he is now a mainlander,
If he cannot register a company, his subsequent plans will be completely ruined.
Or just go back and sell clothes.
Or be a real gangster.
David opened the certificate, a trace of surprise clearly flashed across his face,
"Are you from the Mainland?"
"What, is there a problem with this identity registration company?" Lin Yi asked.
David immediately shook his head, "No, it's no problem at all. I'm just surprised that you speak English so well. I thought you were a local from Hong Kong just now."
As David spoke, he picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The young man in front of him spoke fluent English. He was well-educated at first glance. He was well-dressed and well-behaved. Although his clothes were not famous brands,
But it's not cheap either. You can vaguely see the Swiss watch on your wrist.
from the mainland,
When handling overseas offshore companies and controlling Hong Kong companies, they all require anonymity. It is obvious that they want to hide their own information.
He had already labeled Lin Yi in his mind.
A descendant of a big family.
Maybe it's a big customer with huge future potential.
David put down the water glass and said with a smile: "Overseas offshore companies will keep shareholder information completely confidential. Mr. Lin does not need to worry about this. As for the Hong Kong company, I have two plans. One is to find someone to replace it, because the Hong Kong company is owned by the offshore company."
The offshore company is fully controlled, so we can rest assured about the asset issues."
"The second is that you can choose another English name and go to the Hong Kong Notary Office for notarization. Then the company's shareholders can register with your English name, and the name will be published in English. Ordinary people will not see your information unless it goes through legal procedures.
Obtain the notary office files, but under normal circumstances, the files will not be made public."
"Which one do you think is suitable?"
Lin Yi thought about it.
The first is physical isolation, and the second is that ordinary people cannot see it. If this company commits a criminal offense, it can be found through legal procedures, which is definitely not as secretive as the first method.
But the second type also has advantages, that is, it eliminates possible disputes in the future and saves a lot of trouble in operation. Lin Yi directly controls everything.
In fact, for Lin Yi,
He is not the child of an official, so there is no need to be physically isolated. It's just that the domestic situation has been unclear in the past few years and he doesn't dare to let outsiders know. After 1985, it doesn't matter whether he hides it or not.
"I choose the second one."
He smiled and nodded, "No problem. I will ask my assistant to get a notarized document later. After you sign it, it will be sent to the notary office for stamping and it will be effective."
"By the way David, these two companies also need two bank cards. Please help us handle them together. Overseas offshore companies need anonymous Swiss bank cards linked to company accounts. Bank cards linked to Hong Kong companies, use my English.
