On the morning of the third day of the conversation with Dominic, Wei Ran walked into the high-end ward of the medical center again at the invitation of Carlos' lawyer.
However, compared with yesterday, in this ward except for Dominic Capet, who was half lying on the hospital bed, his son, Dominic Love Jr., and Coco Love, who was about to inherit a large inheritance.
, there was also a woman who looked to be in her forties but still had charm, a man with a video camera and two policemen who came from nowhere.
"Young man, have you thought about it?" Mr. Cappe asked calmly on the hospital bed.
"I've thought about it." Wei Ran nodded, "I have no reason to refuse this job."
"Carlos, let's start." Dominic Cape said slowly.
Lawyer Carlos cleared his throat and waited for the man holding the camera to make an OK gesture before he said, "Gentlemen and ladies, I will now read out the will of Mr. Dominique Capet. This will
It is public and valid, complies with the laws of the United States of America, and has been registered and notarized.”
[To be honest, I have been using the Huanyuan app recently to read and catch up on updates. It can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds, huanyuanapp. Both Android and Apple are available.]
After a short pause, Lawyer Carlos began to read out the will made by Dominic Capet one by one and explained it one by one. By the way, he also left some time for Coco to translate the German into French and explain it to her grandfather Dominic.
·Lew’s time.
As he was explained one by one, Wei Ran could probably tell that almost all of what Dominic Cape left to his son and great-granddaughter were real estate, including plantations in Hawaii and farms in Ontario.
, there is also a mansion in Houston, plus various luxury cars.
In addition, the girl named Kou Kou also inherited the position of president of the Elk Foundation. However, her position as president was completely eliminated at the beginning of the inheritance. The only right she can exercise is
Each year, under the supervision of Wei Ran, she can withdraw up to US$5 million in living expenses from the foundation. In addition, she does not even have the right to sell most of the real estate she inherited.
The second part of the will completely handed over the Elk Foundation to Wei Ran for supervision. In addition to being able to decide at will where 10% of the foundation's annual investment goes, he also had absolute supervisory power over the foundation and some personnel matters.
Appointment power. Moreover, it also undertook the work of burying Dominic Capet and Nadia Hill in the future.
The third part of the will is the responsibility of the Elk Foundation. In this part, the Elk Foundation not only has to bear the payment of up to 5 million US dollars in annual alimony, but also additionally bears the property taxes of those real estates, and even water, electricity and natural gas.
All expenses, including car maintenance and housekeeper wages, will be supervised by Carlos' lawyer.
To put it simply, the purpose of the existence of this foundation, and the significance of Weiran's participation, is just to allow Koko, her grandfather Dominic Love, and Koko's future children to live a life of food and clothing without worries.
.
After the explanation of the will that lasted for more than two hours, Koko and her grandfather were the first to be taken out of the ward by Carlos's lawyer, followed by the two people who didn't know where they came from, let alone
The American police know what to call for.
When the door was closed from the outside, the woman who had remained silent throughout said, "Now is the second will."
After the camera focused on the woman, she handed a German will in her hand to Wei Ran, "Listed here is another part of Mr. Dominic Cape's assets, which are currently in the name of the Elk Foundation.
Under unified management.
These assets include a villa in Mons, the Elk Castle in the Hürtgen Forest, and the Timov Castle in Salzburg, Austria. Another significance of the existence of the Elk Foundation is to maintain this
Three properties.”
Dominic Capet on the hospital bed calmly reminded, "Young man, I don't ask you what exactly you have investigated. But these three assets, as well as what happened back then, must be kept secret from my children."
"I understand." Wei Ran nodded and agreed.
"Lily, go ahead." Dominic waved his hand absently.
"Next is the Elk Foundation's investment direction, profit methods, and current personnel composition." The woman known as Lily paused and began to explain in detail.
Thanks to the woman's clear and detailed explanation, Wei Ran easily understood that the so-called Elk Foundation was basically divided into three parts.
The first part is dedicated to the maintenance of the two castles and the villa in Mons.
The second part is responsible for managing the remaining real estate that is to be left to the grandfather and grandson, and providing various services to Dominique Capet. Of course, this part will exclusively serve Coco and her grandfather after Capet passes away.
To put it simply, these two teams rely on foundations to support themselves, and they do not have any profitability themselves.
The third part is a money rake that is only responsible for making money through investment. Assets such as option bonds and gold mines under Dominic's name are also managed by this part.
Fortunately, the investment direction of this part is clear enough. According to the explanation of the woman named Lily, 30% of the investment is invested in gold mining in Alaska on a long-term basis, and the other 30% of the investment is placed in stocks such as stock options.
Above, the final 30% of the investment was all placed in the medical industry.
Not only that, these three investment directions have their own performance goals that need to be achieved every year. As for the future flow of the remaining 10% of the investment, as this will comes into effect, the decision-making power has also been handed over to Wei Ran.
.
Finally, after carefully flipping through the various details agreed upon in the will, Wei Ran took out the pen in the metal book and signed his name on it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Dominic also signed his name, the woman named Lily continued, "Mr. Victor, on February 4th every year from now on, you will
You will receive the Elk Foundation’s profit report for the previous year as well as the investment intentions and investment amount statistics for the new year on time.”
"According to the agreement above, I have the right to appoint and remove the person responsible for causing the investment losses in the previous year, right?"
Wei Ran shook the will in his hand and asked, not only does the foundation earn 5 million US dollars for Kou Kou every year, but it also has to support so many ancillary services and staff as well as real estate. These can be said to cost almost every year.
A considerable part of the remaining profits has been clearly arranged.
"certainly"
Lily nodded, "But in addition to the 10% of the investment amount that you are responsible for, if there are serious losses due to your interference in the investment direction for two consecutive fiscal years, the foundation will have the right to file a lawsuit with Ms. Koko Loew."
It is proposed to appoint or remove you."
"No problem." Wei Ran nodded and agreed, "We have a relationship of restricting and supervising each other."
"Victor, you go outside first." Dominic on the hospital bed waved his hand, "Wait outside."
Hearing this, Wei Ran immediately nodded towards his de facto employer, turned around and left the ward.
Speaking of which, the reason why he was willing to work for such a dying man naturally had his own considerations.
The annual investment of 10% of the Elk Foundation can be said to be neither too much nor too little, but it is enough to give Wei Ran a new identity. This can at least dilute his involvement with the K-series forces behind him, at least on the surface.
.This alone is attractive enough to him.
On the other hand, the three young mothers who were eliminated from the HeLa organization and were about to be sent to the Japanese to start a new life each needed money to run a safe house for a long time. His "CBI Family Searching Group Honorary Group"
"Chang" wants to work with Qin II, Xia Shushi, and Zhong Zhen to win the invisible war, which also requires more money.
Obviously, although his business of investigating historical mysteries brings in money, it is not stable, and there are too many potential risks. In comparison, the 10% investment amount received from the Elk Foundation is much safer.
.
And all he has to pay is, as a supervisor, to ensure that Kou Kou and her grandfather will have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Worst of all, investing this money in Suisui would be enough help to make Suisui laugh from her dreams.
And Wei Ran believed that with Suisui's ability, if she didn't double her investment, she would be busy sharpening her knife in the middle of the night.
Just as he was weighing the pros and cons and walking out of the ward, on the sofa in the reception area outside, lawyer Carlos was holding a tablet computer and introducing something to the grandfather and grandson sitting next to him.
Seeing Wei Ran come out, Carlos immediately nodded towards him.
"Victor, my father...father"
Mr. Loew, who is over seventy years old, said with some difficulty a title that was particularly unfamiliar to him, "He, where exactly does he want to bury my mother?"
"Sorry, I can't say." Wei Ran said apologetically, "but I can guarantee that that will be the safest place for your mother to sleep."
"Is this where they met?"
After speaking, Loew shook his head, "Forget it, I don't have much impression of my mother, so that's fine, I just...just..."
"I know"
Wei Ran smiled and reassured, "All this may seem too late for you, but Mr. Loew, I assure you that Mr. Cappe has been looking for his family. He is just..."
"I don't blame him"
Loew glanced at his granddaughter sitting next to him and sighed softly, "This is already good, young man. From now on, Koko will be entrusted to your care."
"What are Miss Kou Kou's plans for the future?" Wei Ran asked politely.
"Just call me Kou Kou."
The girl sitting on the sofa holding her grandfather's arm said rather uneasily, "I'm not a noble lady. I feel like I'm dreaming right now. As for my future plans, I don't know either."
Koko scratched her messy long blond hair with some annoyance, "But I definitely don't have to kill sheep, and I'm afraid I don't have to continue applying for the veterinary exam, and I don't have to drive that cold truck that is always making noisy noises."
"So you guys started to miss your old life so soon?" Wei Ran made a little joke.
"Speaking of which, I really want to go back to our store." Mr. Loew said regretfully, "We still have a lot of meat in the freezer. If we haven't had it for a long time..."
"Grandpa, you have to stay for treatment." Kou Kou said dissatisfied, "You can't go anywhere until those little ailments on your body are completely cured."
"Koko is right"
Lawyer Cross smiled and said, "Mr. Loew, it's time for you to try to start a new life. Compared to the French countryside, Hawaii is a good health resort."
"At least let's live in Hawaii for a while now."
Wei Ran looked at the door of the ward, "Anyway, at least that poor old man needs the company of his family the most now."
Before he finished speaking, the door to the ward was opened, and a woman named Lily came out and said, "Mr. Carlos, please come in."
"Sorry." Attorney Carlos looked at Wei Ran, Kou Kou and others apologetically, stood up and walked into the ward.
"Mr. Victor, please come with me."
After Lily finished speaking, she looked at Coco and Mr. Loew, who were sitting together, and begged with extra politeness, "Mr. Loew, Miss Koko, if you can, please spend more time with Mr. Capet."
"We will accompany him" Loew nodded seriously.
Lily bowed slightly and said apologetically, "Mr. Capet has arranged other work for us, so please allow us to leave first."
"Okay." Loew and his little granddaughter quickly stood up and said politely, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye." Lily and Wei Ran said goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, and then walked into the elevator one after another.
