Chapter 547: Chapter 541: Cooperation Achieved

“You’re telling me Hanson Lee only has personal assets worth 117 billion Federal coins? That’s a joke, right? However, Finn Lewis knows why Hanson Lee would do this. It’s closely related to what Finn proposed to increase his lifespan. The three bottles of potions worth 300 credits that Finn gave him also played a big role in his decision. Hanson Lee saw the future in these potions, which is why he has faith in Finn.

These potions provide proof of one thing – Finn Lewis, or his organization has made significant strides in the field of bioengineering. The tea leaves are naturally grown from wild plants, but these potions aren’t. The tea leaves don’t have the power to normalize Hanson Lee’s condition or allow him to walk, but now, he can walk like a normal, healthy person.

“I indeed lack these. But how exactly are you going to get them for me, Chairman Lee?” Finn raises an eyebrow, asking.

“I won’t talk about things like technological reserves. As for the workforce, I believe I have a significant influence. Sales channels and such aren’t hard to establish either. As long as the phones we jointly produce hit the market and start to eat into Planet Electronics’ market share, Planet’s market value will definitely drop. Then, it wouldn’t be unimaginable for Planet to shed some of its company assets. I believe the Southland Country authorities will certainly support this,” Hanson Lee states plainly.

“Although I don’t know why you, Chairman Lee, would do this, trust me, this is your wisest choice. Soon you will realize that a planet is insignificant,” Finn thought for a bit, and decisively stretched out his hand towards Hanson Lee.

Without hesitation, Hanson Lee extended his hand towards Finn for a shake. Even though this man has aged, his courage and ambition are undiminished, perhaps even more than some young people. To make such groundbreaking decisions in such a short time, few could have done it like him.

However, this was only the initial collaboration. In their upcoming collaborations, Finn believes once he shows Hanson Lee what he hopes to see, there wouldn’t be any issues between them. Finn also believes that he can achieve this. Furthermore, even if Hanson Lee thinks Finn can’t lengthen his lifespan after “seeing some things,” Hanson Lee would not reject this choice.

That’s because, in the end, it’s their Lee Family that benefits! Unlike now, where everything he’s worked for goes into the hands of the Southland Country officials and the other directors of Planet Group.

“As for the hidden shares, what do you have in mind, Chairman Lee?” Finn asked after some thought.

“Let’s sign a secret transfer agreement, but it will still be in your name, Mr. Lewis. Over the next few years, I will arrange for members from the Lee Family to change their citizenship,” Hanson Lee proposed after some thought. Clearly, Hanson Lee is trying to avoid inheritance tax. After all, there are many countries in the world, and many of them barely have a functional government, let alone something like inheritance tax.

Upon hearing about changing nationality, an idea flashed across Finn’s mind. However, he couldn’t mention it to Hanson Lee now. Finn simply nodded, “There’s no problem on my end. We can sign the secret transfer agreement. Believe me, Chairman Lee, your choice won’t let you down.”

“In that case, our Lee Family will rely heavily on you, Mr. Lewis, for the wealth transfer plan,” Hanson Lee straightforwardly replied.

Hanson Lee’s words made Finn inwardly shake his head. He had to admit, he admired Hanson Lee quite a bit! Hanson Lee is the only person who could come up with such an audacious scheme for wealth transfer. With any other methods for wealth transfer, no matter how covert the process, it’s not hard to uncover if one wishes to. But with this method, no one would ever suspect or know what’s going on, right?

The idea is to act like a secret agent, feeding another company via Planet Group, all while secretly holding shares in the other company. No one would know of this wealth transfer method, and as for the future, any story can be spun as long as a secret transfer agreement has been signed. At the end of the day, he could even say that Finn and Hanson Lee’s son, or grandson for that matter, clicked instantly, leading to Finn gifting 20% shares. Why not? Can’t a rich person act on a whim?

“The benefits I’m getting are plenty. In that case, I won’t take Chairman Lee’s money. I’ll gift 20% of the shares for free,” Finn thought for a bit before deciding to be generous. After all, the company is but an empty shell at the moment, so gifting any amount of shares isn’t a big deal. Now that the other party has mentioned such an arrangement, Finn is not one to be petty. After all, the whole Planet Group has been roped into this. What else is there to worry about?

“In that case, I won’t be shy,” Hanson Lee accepted outright.

The two shook hands again, officially establishing their partnership. Finn quickly had the team draft a secret agreement. This agreement was not about share transfers but intended to set Hanson Lee’s mind at ease. It listed some of the projects in their partnership which could serve as proof in the future if needed.

As for the future and whether Finn fears what’s recorded in the agreement, that can wait.

After finalizing the partnership, Finn immediately utilized his connections in the domestic market to register a new company at lightning speed. The new company is called Dreamland, a digital electronics company. As soon as Dreamland was established, Finn threw Company A to the backburner without hesitation. As for the system he sold to Company A, Finn had other smart systems and had no cause for concern.

Finn stayed in Southland Country for a little more than a week. It was close to the Spring Festival when he returned home. Soon, it would be 2015. The secret agreement between Finn and Hanson Lee was successfully reached, and this matter remained known only to both of them. Even Kay Lee was unaware of it. It wasn’t that Finn didn’t trust Kay Lee, but Kay Lee herself has no interest in such matters.

Moreover, it’s better not to tell Kay Lee about such a grey area. Strictly speaking, these actions could be considered illegal. But if neither Finn nor Hanson Lee speak about it, it’s unlikely anyone would find out.
