After Brina hung up the call with Mike, she immediately called Chen Feng.
"Chen, someone just called me. I have confirmed that he is the one who called and threatened you. He said his name is Mike. He has known me since he was a child. He lives in the same neighborhood as me, and we should be in the same school. But
I have no impression of him at all. I tried to ask for his full name, but failed. What do you think we should do now?"
Brina said these words in one breath, speaking very fast. Thanks to Chen Feng's continuous practice of English recently, his hearing has gotten much better and he can basically understand it.
"Why is he calling you?" Chen Feng asked curiously.
Brina said angrily: "He is a bitch. He said he has been paying attention to me and caring about me since I was a child. In addition, he said bad things about you and wanted me to break up with you. He always thought that I was in love with you. He should
They have been spying on me secretly, which makes me very uneasy and disgusting. I almost want to call the police."
"If this is the case, can we call the police? Have you recorded the conversation you just had?" Chen Feng asked.
"...No, I forgot." Brina said a little embarrassed.
"Then what evidence do you use to call the police?" Chen Feng was speechless, but still suggested, "You can tell your uncle about this and ask him to help investigate. If you can find out who he is, that will be fine."
Brina nodded and said, "I thought so too. I originally planned to call my uncle later to talk about this and ask him to help find out who this person is. The police should have everyone's information.
System, although he only said his name was Mike, and there were many people with that name, and did not mention his last name, but as long as he narrowed the scope to the school I attended and the neighborhood where I lived when I was a child, there should not be many suspects."
Brina still has some brains, after all, she is also a college student.
"Well, you're right. Then contact your uncle right away. With his help, you might be able to find him out soon."
"Okay, then you contact him right away. I'll contact you when there is news."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After the conversation ended, Chen Feng continued to lie on the bed and check his cell phone.
He doesn't plan to go out these days. It's not entirely because of Mike's personal threat, but because he simply doesn't feel confident about the security environment here. Besides, he doesn't think there's anything fun here.
As for Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard, Chen Feng is not very interested in it.
If I have this time, I might as well stay in the hotel and watch more short videos and read more good online novels.
After experiencing the last shooting incident in Houston and this inexplicable personal threat over the phone, he felt that Europe and the United States might not be compatible with his horoscope. It was better not to leave the hotel to avoid getting into trouble.
Therefore, he wanted to settle the family trust matter early and return to China. It would be safer and more comfortable to stay in China.
The day passed quickly.
The next day, after Chen Feng got up and washed up, he had no intention of leaving the room. He ordered room service, had breakfast, and continued to stay in the hotel room, continuing his daily routine of watching short videos and reading novels.
At home, this is how he spends most of his free time, and now it's the same abroad.
He does not feel that this is a waste of time, but feels that his life is fulfilling and happy. This can be regarded as a high level of being a homebody.
Ordinary people who finally come to a foreign country cannot stay in a hotel room like him every day and check their mobile phones instead of going out to play or take beautiful photos to post on social media.
But Chen Feng is such a person, and he feels that this kind of lifestyle is good and very comfortable.
As long as you are comfortable and don't bother others, that's the best thing.
It was not until noon that Chen Feng received a call from lawyer Andre, saying that he had arrived at the Los Angeles Airport and would come to the hotel to meet Chen Feng soon and asked if Chen Feng was at the hotel.
Last night, he made an agreement with Chen Feng to fly to Los Angeles today, and Chen Feng also informed him of the hotel where he would stay.
Chen Feng gave him an affirmative answer and asked him to come directly to the hotel to find him. At the same time, he also contacted Brynna's father, Frank, to inform him that Andre was coming and asked him to come to the hotel to discuss the family trust together.
Frank agreed immediately.
Ten minutes later, Frank arrived at the hotel first.
Chen Feng just called the hotel front desk to upgrade his hotel room, and the front desk just sent him the room card.
The reason for upgrading the room is that his hotel room number should be exposed. For safety reasons, it is necessary to change rooms. The other reason is that in the next period of time, Frank and Andre will often meet with him to discuss
Family trust matters require an office space.
So, Chen Feng upgraded his room to a presidential suite. It was large enough, with an area of more than 300 square meters. It included conference rooms, guest rooms, study rooms, living rooms, heated swimming pools, etc. You could also enjoy various high-end services including a spa.
.
Chen Feng is not a person who particularly likes to enjoy himself. The room Brina booked for him was the most ordinary single room, and he stayed in it without saying anything.
But now that the need arises, he is certainly not stingy with money. He immediately booked the presidential suite for more than nine thousand dollars a night, and booked it for five days in a row. It was quite enjoyable to pay for it.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that it was too easy and simple for him to make U.S. dollars this time. He just moved his fingers and earned more than ten million U.S. dollars in just ten days. Is there any easier and faster way to make money than this?
?
Therefore, now he doesn't feel bad at all when spending US dollars.
Seeing that Chen Feng had directly upgraded the room to the presidential suite in one step, Frank became more convinced of Chen Feng's financial strength.
After Chen Feng packed up his things in the original room, he also helped to pull Chen Feng's suitcase. He was so pragmatic and discerning, which could be regarded as his professional accomplishment as a veteran lawyer.
The two of them entered the presidential suite on the top floor of the hotel together. Chen Feng went to the master bedroom to stay as a matter of course. There were also two secondary bedrooms, so Andre was asked to choose one. Frank could also choose a room to stay in if he wanted.
.
Chen Feng told Frank directly about this intention, and he did not refuse. He just said that if the next work required it, he would stay here temporarily.
His attitude made Chen Feng very satisfied. Taking advantage of this time, Chen Feng discussed with him the specific remuneration for hiring him. Chen Feng also adopted a package price of US$250,000.
This is of course mainly because of Brina's face, as she paid $50,000 more than Andre.
Frank certainly had no reason to be dissatisfied with such a price and readily agreed.
According to Chen Feng's requirements and wishes, helping to design the trust framework and then establishing the family trust fund is not difficult or troublesome for an experienced lawyer like him. There is a mature set of established processes and procedures. As long as you follow this process and
Just follow the program, the only difference is undoubtedly the time.
If Chen Feng wants it fast, just add money.
Of course, it is not easy to tailor the trust framework that Chen Feng needs. Chen Feng must be satisfied.
One of the most important issues is how to ensure that after Chen Feng's unexpected death, the family trust fund can continue to operate well and bring long-term economic benefits to his family members.
This requires his and Andre's professional knowledge to discuss and solve the problem together.
"Thank you for your trust in me. I will serve you wholeheartedly and design the most perfect trust framework for you, so that your trust can run well for a long time and your designated beneficiaries will benefit permanently."
Frank's statement made Chen Feng very satisfied. He nodded and said, "I believe in your professional ability."
"Thanks."
At this time, Chen Feng's cell phone rang, and Andre also arrived. Chen Feng told him the room number, and asked him to register at the front desk first, and asked him to tell the front desk that he lived with Chen Feng. The front desk asked Chen Feng to
After confirmation, Andre was also given the room card.
Otherwise, Andre wouldn't be able to get to the presidential suite on the top floor.
Not long after, Andre came up pushing his suitcase. He was a little Jewish old man in his fifties. He was a little fat, with a fat body, about 1.8 meters tall, and looked like a big brown bear.
This is not a derogatory description of him, but a compliment, because although he is fat, he looks really strong.
The three of them met formally, and after some pleasantries, they officially got down to business.
Andre and Frank are both very professional lawyers.
The three of them came to the conference room together. Chen Feng sat at the head of the conference table without hesitation, while Frank and Andre sat on both sides.
Both of them first took out a licensing contract and signed a formal licensing agreement with Chen Feng, and then got down to business.
Frank first asked Andre: "Have I told you some of the requirements Mr. Chen made?"
Andre shook his head: "Mr. Chen just invited me last night, and I just came here today. I don't know exactly what Mr. Chen's request is. Mr. Chen hasn't told me yet."
Frank said: "The most important thing for Mr. Chen is the safety of the trust fund. This is the core of our design for him. In other words, even if the trust fund makes less money, we must ensure its safety and eliminate risks first.
The investment is high. In addition, a supervisor must be established. This needs to be designated and appointed by Mr. Chen himself.”
Andre nodded: "Okay, I understand. Then we will set up a suitable trust framework for him around this core."
So, the two people each took out their notebooks and discussed with each other, seeking common ground while reserving differences, and the discussion was in full swing.
During this period, Chen Feng also interjected a few words from time to time and asked about some professional terms that he did not understand. In addition, they also asked Chen Feng for some of his thoughts as needed.
The first is the beneficiary, who needs to be designated in advance. If there are several people, it is best to list them one by one.
Chen Feng did not hide anything from them. He mentioned several beneficiaries. In addition to his parents, brother, and niece, there were also two unborn children.
Chen Feng said that he also had two unborn children as beneficiaries. Even Frank and Andre, who were well-informed, couldn't help but be stunned.
Frank asked specifically: "Are they twins?"
Chen Feng shook his head calmly: "No."
The two of them were silent for a moment, with different expressions on their faces.
If there was just one unborn child, they wouldn't be like this. Now there are two, and they are not twins, so it can only be that both women are pregnant with his children.
This time Andre came to his senses first and said: "It doesn't matter if the two children are not born yet, you can also designate. Even your grandchildren can be designated in advance. But there must be a clear range."
Next, Andre shared some relevant knowledge about trust law with Chen Feng so that Chen Feng could understand it clearly.
Frank later added: "If you want your designated beneficiaries, especially family descendants, to continue to benefit, choosing the right trustee and service organization is the top priority. In addition to several major banks, my suggestions here can also
They are several reputable brokerage companies.”
Andre frowned slightly and said: "I am opposed to handing over the trust to securities companies, because they all have the risk of explosion, and even some banks are not very reliable. Of course, securities companies are even less reliable. I prefer them to securities companies
Recommended law firms, they generally do not have the risk of thunderstorms.”
"Can a law firm also become a trustee?" Chen Feng asked slightly surprised.
Andre nodded and said: "Of course. Traditional trusts are generally managed by banks, but some law firms with strong strength and good reputation are actually more reliable than banks. For example, my law firm is ranked among the best in Houston.
A few days ago, it has been almost 60 years since its establishment, and it has always had a good reputation. Many wealthy people have entrusted our law firm to manage their family funds and trusts."
Frank frowned and directly named him: "Andre, we are just hired by Mr. Chen to design and establish trust funds. We are not asking you to promote your own law firm. You have to be more professional."
Andre also knew that he was a little unprofessional, so he laughed and said: "Sorry, I was just making an analogy. I did not promote my law firm to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen, now I am standing from the perspective of your private lawyer.
, from a professional perspective, the law firm is indeed a trustee that you can choose, and you can seriously consider it. Of course, to avoid suspicion, I do not recommend that you choose the law firm I am currently working for."
"Okay, I will seriously consider it. You continue."
Of course, Chen Feng couldn't just listen to his side of the story.
Then, the two of them discussed and negotiated one by one about Chen Feng's family trust. Of course, there was a little quarrel during the period, but overall they were restrained and did not argue with each other red-faced.
But it is obvious that they will not be very harmonious with each other. They are enemies in the same field, not to mention they are two lawyers in the same field. It is considered very well-mannered not to have a fight when they meet.
And they are like this, which is also the result that Chen Feng wants.
If the two of them hit it off immediately, chatted happily, and were on good terms with each other, Chen Feng would be worried.
Precisely because it was impossible for the two of them to be convinced by each other, Chen Feng insisted on inviting them to come and help together.
The discussion between the two reached dinner time, and it was getting dark. Chen Feng, the employer, took the initiative to suspend their discussion and invited them to have dinner together.
Of course, the place to eat is in the presidential suite. After a phone call, I asked the other party to prepare a Chinese meal for three people, with eight dishes and one soup.
The three of them watched TV together, chatted for a while, and waited for almost half an hour before the food they ordered was delivered.
