Matthew's words were not wrong. Although Chen Feng was convinced that he would not treat his daughter badly in the future, it was difficult to convince Matthew, who had just met him.
Besides, as Nina's grandfather, Matthew asked Chen Feng to set up a trust fund for her because it was for her own good. Even if Chen Feng didn't like Matthew, he couldn't say anything to him on this matter.
"It's impossible for me to get married and have children for the time being. As for setting up a trust fund for Nina, I don't object. It's just that I don't know much about it. I will start preparations after consulting relevant people. Regarding this, please
Don't worry. I will definitely not treat my biological daughter badly."
Chen Feng's statement finally made Matthew's face look better. He sat down on the sofa again and asked, "Then how much money do you plan to spend to set up a fund for Nina?"
Chen Feng did some calculations on his current property and said: "Let's take out 30 million US dollars first. When there is more money in the future, I will add some more."
30 million U.S. dollars is just over 200 million Tang Dynasty coins. Chen Feng's current bank deposits are as high as more than 2 billion. Keeping them will only make it easier for the bank. It is better to use some to invest or set up a fund.
As for why he doesn't take more, because Chen Feng will continue to reveal the development of Android phones, which for the time being seems to be a money-grabbing monster, so Chen Feng doesn't want to take more. Besides, even if he loves his daughter, he can't make him grow up now.
Part of the cash was used to set up a fund for her.
What's more, 30 million US dollars is actually a lot. At least, after Chen Feng reported this number, Matthew, Tana and Beyoncé all showed shocked looks on their faces.
If you really want to talk about it, they can be considered a wealthy class. Beyoncé has brought them hundreds of millions of dollars in income before. But when Westerners like them get rich, they will definitely not save it, but use it as quickly as possible.
I don’t really have much cash in my hands when I spend money on the best food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drinks, or make financial investments.
In addition, after they lost most of their financial investments, and because Beyoncé joined a new agency, Matthew lost his job and had even less cash in hand. They had to maintain their previous decent and wealthy life.
, you must have the support of your daughter Beyoncé.
Therefore, they were really surprised when Chen Feng offered up 30 million US dollars in cash as soon as he opened his mouth. In the eyes of Matthew and Tana, if Chen Feng could spend several million US dollars to set up a fund for Nina, it would already be a big deal.
It's amazing. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be 30 million US dollars as soon as it was opened, and more would be added in the future.
Matthew and his wife immediately felt that Chen Feng was radiant and pleasing to the eye. Chen Feng's financial resources were beyond their expectations.
The same is true for Beyoncé. She knows that Chen Feng is rich. After all, he has made a few movies and the total box office has exceeded one billion US dollars. But she does not know how much money Chen Feng actually has. She also does not know that Chen Feng actually has a lot of money.
I am willing to spend so much money at once for my daughter.
"Chen, are you serious?" Beyoncé asked extremely seriously.
Chen Feng nodded and said: "Of course I am serious. I was not very clear about this trust fund before. When I heard your father talk about it just now, I suddenly felt that it was very good. Setting up such a trust fund for my child can ensure that she will live a worry-free life in the future.
Of course, in order to prevent her from becoming useless when she grows up in the future, we must not give her too much money at once. We can only give her a limited amount of money each month to meet her living expenses."
Beyoncé immediately became happy after hearing this, smiled and nodded: "Of course. The purpose of setting up a trust is not only to provide the child with future life security, but also to prevent the child from spending too much money in the future and ruining the family fortune. However, the child is just
It’s so big. It’s a bit early to set up a trust.”
Chen Feng pondered: "Then wait until the child is one year old, and then formally set up a trust fund for her. In this way, when the child grows up and becomes an adult at the age of eighteen, let her receive money from the trust fund every month.
.”
After thinking about it, Beyoncé said: "It is not difficult to set up a trust fund. What is difficult is to find a reliable person or institution to manage and operate the fund. If the child is one year old, it can be established."
, but you have to find the right people to manage it.”
Chen Feng nodded and said: "I will consult relevant professionals before proceeding with the specific operations, don't worry."
Beyoncé smiled and then asked: "Have you had lunch? Probably not yet. Then let's eat together at my place."
Tana also said with a smile on her face: "Yes. Let's eat together here. We are not outsiders."
Matthew also suddenly said in an easy-going tone: "Let's have a nice drink later."
Chen Feng was not pretentious. He originally planned to come here for lunch, so he nodded and agreed.
So, Beyoncé went to ask the nanny to add a meal. Then, she took Chen Feng upstairs to see her daughter.
At this time, Nina just woke up, and was being held and teased by Zhao Xiaolan, the grandmother. Chen Feng stepped forward and gently took over, holding her and rocking her gently for a while. This precious daughter finally gave him face, and she did not cry for several minutes.
But after a few minutes, she still cried, and Beyoncé took over to breastfeed her.
Only then did Zhao Xiaolan have time to ask Chen Feng: "I came over here, did Miranda ask anything?"
Chen Feng said truthfully: "I said you went on a tour with a group. She didn't ask any more questions."
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaolan sighed and said: "Look, I said that the girlfriend you found is not very good? It lacks human touch. I am also your mother after all, and she doesn't care about me as your girlfriend.
.Even if I travel with a group, she still has to call me and ask me. As a result, I waited until now and she hasn’t called me yet.”
Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing this. It was indeed Miranda's fault in this matter, and it was also his fault for not reminding her. Chen Feng could only try his best to make up for it: "It's not that she didn't think of calling you, it's me who said she didn't.
Necessary. In addition, she is very busy negotiating an endorsement contract these days, so she may have forgotten something."
Zhao Xiaolan snorted coldly: "You don't have to defend her. She doesn't even have my future mother-in-law in her eyes."
What else can Chen Feng say? There are many mistakes to be made in this matter, so it’s better not to try to defend Miranda.
"Beyonce is better. She respects me very much and takes time to talk to me every day. Her Mandarin is getting better and better. She obviously cares about you. Otherwise, why would she work so hard to learn Mandarin? And Miranda, I know you.
After such a long time, I can only speak a few sentences in Mandarin, and I have no intention of learning it. Comparing the two, which one do you think cares about you more?"
Chen Feng had nothing to say. Miranda really didn't pay much attention to learning Mandarin. Beyoncé was just the opposite. She had been studying hard when she was expecting to give birth in Beijing. Now her level is very good and she can have some daily communication with Zhao Elaine.
"Xiao Feng, it's not that Mom is picky about Miranda. In fact, Mom thinks she is not as good as Beyonce. She is too self-centered, has no elders in her eyes, and does not look very virtuous. Beyonce is just the opposite of her. Beyonce
She cares about and cares about the conditions of those around her, and is dignified and virtuous. She is also responsible for raising an unmarried daughter by herself. She also cares enough about you. Mom can tell that she likes you very much."
Chen Feng looked helpless after being told by his mother and didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, Beyoncé, who was breastfeeding her baby, asked in Mandarin: "What are you talking about?"
Zhao Xiaolan said to her with a smile: "I told him that you are virtuous."
"Virtuous?" is a word Beyoncé still doesn't understand.
Zhao Xiaolan explained: "It means that you are easy-going, reasonable, and considerate."
Beyoncé couldn't help but smile happily after hearing this: "How can I be as good as you say?"
Zhao Xiaolan nodded affirmatively and said, "Don't be humble. In my eyes, you are very virtuous."
Chen Feng listened with an embarrassed look on his face. He thought that it would be better to come here less often in the future, otherwise his mother would persuade him to leave and set up Beyoncé every time he came here.
However, Chen Feng felt a little reluctant to let go when he thought of his daughter who was really concentrating on breastfeeding.
Elaine Chao chatted with Beyoncé very familiarly. Beyoncé didn't mind her nagging at all, she always had a smile on her face and looked like she was listening attentively.
Compare her attitude with Miranda's. It's no wonder that Elaine Chao prefers Beyoncé to Miranda. Not to mention, Beyoncé has now given birth to a baby granddaughter for her.
On the issue of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Miranda was completely defeated.
Not long after Beyoncé finished feeding the baby, it was time for dinner downstairs. So the three of them went downstairs together, and Elaine Chao carried the baby downstairs to the nanny.
The two families of five were sitting at a rectangular dining table. Beyoncé took the main seat. Chen Feng, the pseudo-male host, did not shamelessly sit across from her, but sat in the first seat on her right. Of course, he sat next to her.
By Elaine Chao.
As for Matthew and Tana, they sat opposite them.
"Come! Chen, let's have a drink." Matthew had already opened a bottle of red wine, first poured himself a glass, and then poured another glass for Chen Feng.
Without waiting for Chen Feng to respond, he did it first as a sign of respect. Seeing this, Chen Feng had no choice but to follow him and have a drink.
Matthew was about to fill the wine glasses for the two of them again, but Beyoncé stopped him and said, "You two should eat first. Drink the wine slowly."
Matthew listened to his daughter very much, and Chen Feng certainly didn't want to drink on an empty stomach.
So, everyone started to eat, authentic Western food. Although Zhao Xiaolan was not very used to it, she was not very disgusted with it, and she looked like she was eating it with gusto.
"Mom, do you want to invite a chef from Tang Dynasty for you? You will definitely not be used to eating Western food every day." Chen Feng still cared about his mother very much.
Zhao Xiaolan shook her head and said: "No need. I can cook myself. Why invite a chef here? Beyoncé has already bought a lot of rice and some seasonings. If I want to eat rice,
If it’s Chinese Tang cuisine, you can make it yourself.”
When Chen Feng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Beyoncé really had nothing to say to his mother.
Therefore, Chen Feng couldn't help but worry that his mother would be completely bribed by Beyoncé and cause drama in the future that her daughter-in-law didn't want. Chen Feng was powerless to stop this. He could only wait until he returned and urged Miranda to
Pay more attention to his parents in the future.
After eating, Chen Feng and Matthew drank the valuable bottle of red wine together. Then they sat on the sofa and chatted.
Matthew talked about some of his knowledge about trust funds, and found out the phone numbers of two financial managers of a certain bank from his mobile phone address book, and conducted relevant consultations in front of Chen Feng, which solved a lot for Chen Feng.
Confuse.
Generally speaking, trust funds can be handed over to a certain bank for management and operation. In addition, of course, a supervisor must be set up to supervise whether the trustee violates the trust contract when managing and using the trust property.
To establish a trust fund for a child, you must first clarify the custody rights. Life is unpredictable. If something unexpected happens to the child's parents, the child's custody rights are the top priority. If there is no designation, the child will be temporarily raised by a person appointed by the court.
Until the caregiver is further determined, we cannot be sure who the court will ultimately award to have custody of the child. However, by setting up a living trust, the caregiver, including the alternate caregiver, can be identified. In this way, if something happens, the child will immediately follow the parents' care.
I want someone to take care of me long-term.
The second is to avoid unnecessary spending of parents’ inheritance. If there is no living trust and the children are underage, the court will appoint professionals and lawyers to handle the parents’ estate. Long procedures, expensive court and lawyer fees will all be deducted from the estate.
.If there are any objections, it will be an endless lawsuit. Such expenses may continue for many years until the child reaches adulthood. Then by that time, I am afraid that the child will not get anything and will have been covered by lawyers and various other expenses.
Everything is gone. With a living trust, no one will have any objections. The parents have already appointed the executor and fund manager, including alternates. There is no need for a court or a lawyer to ensure that the children can get what they deserve to the maximum extent.
's legacy.
Although it is said that the chances of Chen Feng and Beyoncé both passing away unexpectedly and prematurely are extremely small, being able to set up a trust fund for their children early will undoubtedly give them an extra layer of protection.
In addition, there are many other benefits to setting up trust funds for children. In short, there are many benefits. Chen Feng was also very excited after hearing this. He felt that he could set up a trust fund for each of his children in the future.
Matthew's enthusiasm made Chen Feng change his view of him a lot. The two of them chatted until about three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, Chen Feng received a good news call from Miranda.
After negotiations between ICM and her agent Brontë, Lancôme finally relented and was willing to sign Miranda with a three-year endorsement fee of US$15 million.
This was a price that neither ICM nor Miranda could refuse, so they both agreed. In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, Lancôme had just finalized the contract content with them and officially signed the contract.
Although Chen Feng feels that Miranda is still suffering from this endorsement, after all, he is very sure that as soon as "Juno" is released, Miranda's reputation will further increase. But for now, both parties can be considered as getting what they deserve. The endorsement fee of 15 million US dollars
, excluding taxes and commissions from ICM and Summit Entertainment, Miranda personally can get at least five to six million US dollars. It is obviously difficult for her to resist the temptation of so much money.
