Lin Ling Chapter

In 2000, the thing that has attracted the most attention from Wall Street was the merger of rookie American Online and the veteran capital strongman Time Warner. When the United States approved this merger, the entire Wall Street was in full swing. What kind of behemoth will it create!

Just when Wall Street was moved by this merger case, in a commercial building in California, a girl with long hair and beautiful as a valley in a huge office was trying to convince a middle-aged man in her forties: "As the information darling of the new era, it is definitely not something that can be easily integrated! Regardless of the focus of each other's careers, the corporate culture and concepts are completely different, so there is reason to believe that this merger case is destined to be an unwise decision!"

This middle-aged man with great courage pondered for a moment: "Then do you think it is really profitable in this? After the merger of American Online and Time Warner, the total value will exceed 350 billion US dollars. Such a behemoth may not be as easy to deal with as imagined!"

"Of course not, what I want to do is not deal with, but to win profits from it! I absolutely believe that American Online and Time Warner will inevitably quickly enter a period of chaos after a short period of intimacy, which will eventually lead to a breakup! The benefits I want to obtain are in this!" The beautiful girl talked confidently: "I only need 50 million US dollars to make more than twice the profit for the company!"

Middle-aged man did not make a decision immediately, and no one could easily take out the 50 million yuan. After pondering for a while, he finally nodded heavily: "I believe the board of directors will not agree, so I will give you this money privately! Daughter, don't lose all your father's private money!"

This middle-aged man Lin Huainan, a well-known overseas Chinese businessman in the American business world, and this girl is his only daughter and Lin Ling, the most precious child of him and his wife!

Lin Ling smiled proudly, ran to Lin Huainan and grabbed his hand and acted coquettishly: "Dad, how can you say that to me? I have made a lot of money for the company!"

"Okay, okay, I know you are a good girl, you are very awesome!" Lin Huainan touched his daughter's head lovely: "Dad promises you that as long as your judgment is correct this time, then I will do my best to convince the board of directors to invest in your company! However, we want an agreement. If your judgment is wrong, you have to go back to work!"

"The deal is completed! Then you can go and convince the board of directors now. I believe this deal will definitely be successful, and it will take less than half a year!" Lin Ling smiled repeatedly, looking very youthful and cute, and even stuck out her tongue at Lin Huainan!

A few days later, Lin Ling met his brother Lin Dong in the company. Lin Ling was very happy when he saw his brother. He rushed forward and grabbed his brother: "Brother, you have been busy with what you have been doing recently, and you haven't seen you. Have you changed your girlfriend again? I know!" Lin Ling now looks like a very cute girl, not too much cunning!

Lin Dong smiled reluctantly, but was worried about what he learned. He couldn't help but scrape her round nose with love: "Ling'er, you are still so naughty. Isn't Nick with you?"

"No, I'm lively and cute!" Lin Ling stuck out his tongue at his brother and frowned slightly: "Didn't Nick go to work at home? Besides, I don't want him to accompany me!"

"Okay, okay, brother, ask you something, you must answer me well!" Lin Dong's expression was slightly serious: "Dad gave you 50 million?"

"Yes! I told him that there must be something wrong with AOL and Time Warner, so I used this money to invest!" Lin Ling didn't quite understand what his brother asked about this!

However, Lin Ling did not see Lin Dong's gloomy face when he left. Lin Dong really didn't understand why his father was willing to give his sister 50 million, but he refused to give him 5 million! His sister wanted to do something, but he also thought about it very much. Why did his father not even want to give him 5 million?

When he came to his father's office, he looked at his father who was playing basketball and asked loudly: "Dad, why did you give Ling'er 50 million, why didn't you even give me 5 million?"

"Because you don't have business talent, if you give 50 million to Ling'er, she can turn into 100 million, or even 500 million. If you give 5 million to you, it will only turn into a ball of air!" Lin Huainan was not polite to his son. He did not have the Chinese tradition of favoring boys over girls, especially for this son who can be said to be only proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, he would have no favors at all!

Lin Dong's face was pale. It was not unreasonable for Lin Huainan to teach him this lesson. After he graduated from college, Lin Huainan gave him one million to do business! As a result, the business was not completed, and 700,000 were cheated out of 1 million. Originally, Lin Huainan still had expectations for this son and kept spending money to him to study. Unexpectedly, his son did not succeed once. He was completely disappointed with this son, and all his hopes were placed on his daughter!

At this moment, Lin Huainan finally couldn't help but say what he said to his son: "You can't compare to Ling'er. She has been smarter than you since she was a child. You should just be a young master who can eat, drink and have fun at home. Lin Ling and I can handle business matters!

However, he did not expect any blow to his son's heart such words, and he did not know that from the moment he said this, Lin Dong's heart began to tilt...

The merger between American Online and Time Warner was beyond everyone's expectations. The two sides had a disagreement until they finally broke up! Lin Ling's judgment was correct. On this day, Lin Ling returned home with 130 million US dollars with confidence! Reported to Lin Huainan for all his achievements!

Lin Huainan was very relieved and looked at his daughter. He suddenly felt that he was really lucky to have such an outstanding daughter! At this moment, his heart moved. Perhaps the company could be handed over to Ling'er. He glanced at his son with a gloomy face and felt unhappy. He laughed and patted Lin Ling's head: "Ling'er is really amazing. Dad is very proud of you! Unexpectedly, I lost this agreement again!"

"Of course, since childhood, you have never won our agreement a few times!" Lin Ling smiled cunningly: "Then you can't cheat. You must abide by our agreement!"

Lin Huainan laughed thrillingly. It was worth it to have such a daughter in this life: "Silly Ling'er, since childhood, when did I not abide by our agreement? As a businessman, reputation is very important! Do you really decide to go out and do it alone?"

"Of course, I have thought of the name of the company. It is called a first-tier company. It is named a first-tier heaven and a first-tier hell. It is used to remind me how much risk it is to do in this industry!" Lin Ling proudly reported his achievements to Lin Huainan, and then said dissatisfied: "I don't like Nico, why do you want me to be with him! Otherwise, we have an agreement. If you lose, I don't have to pay attention to him!"

Lin Huainan was very cautious at this point and shook his head: "That's not possible. The company has a lot of business dealings with the Nick family. If you are with Nick in the future and the two companies merge, they will be much stronger! Didn't you like Nick in school before? Why are you now?"

Lin Ling shrugged helplessly: "That's just the past, I was ignorant when I was young and ignorant!

After talking to my father for a while, Lin Ling and Lin Dong came out of the study together. In the corridor, Lin Ling found that his brother ignored him. He was surprised and reached out to pull his brother's arm: "Brother, is it your new girlfriend who dumped you? Why don't you talk?" Lin Ling has been running back and forth between Wall Street and school for more than half a year, and has never seen his brother at all. Of course, he doesn't know what he is thinking!

However, something that made Lin Ling at a loss happened. As soon as her slender hand was placed on her brother's arm, the brother suddenly shook his face with a gloomy face, shook her hand away, and glared at her fiercely: "Don't talk to me!"

What's wrong? The cute Lin Ling felt that her world was almost collapsed. What happened to her brother who had always loved her, and why did she treat her like this? At this moment, Lin Ling seemed to notice something, but she seemed to feel nothing. She just had a premonition that maybe the relationship between her and her brother could not be restored to the same as before!

To be honest, when Lin Dong shook off his sister's hand and said harsh words to his sister, he was still a little upset! However, when he thought of the different treatment between him and his sister, a strong jealousy burned in his heart. Perhaps, he didn't know whether he was jealous of his sister's talent or his father's attitude towards different treatment. Perhaps, he wanted to pursue such a huge family property, or, perhaps, he just wanted to get the same care and love as his sister...

From this day on, every time Lin Ling met her brother, she turned her face and didn't look at her or talk to her, as if she was a stranger she didn't know at all! Later, her brother simply moved out of the house. Lin Ling often wondered: Did the brother move out because he didn't want to see him?

But where did she mess with her brother? She never knew that poor Lin Ling could not have thought that her excellence would make her brother unbalanced! But she still didn't tell her father about this, and intuition told her that she could not say it!

From this day on, Lin Ling was not as lively and cheerful as before. He gradually fell silent. All his energy was spent on his studies and work! His studies were improving, and he even won scholarships, and his career was also improving. He successfully made his first acquisition of mergers and acquisitions from the front-line companies!

However, she became silent day by day, and her scheming gradually became much deeper. On her face, she could no longer see a bright smile, only endless doubts and fatigue.

She vaguely knew that some things had changed, some people were changing, and she almost didn't know them! Perhaps, there was only one thing that had not changed, and that was Nick's pursuit of her!

However, she really doesn't like Nick. She feels that she and Nick are like friends, and can only be friends! Nick is a very outstanding young man. The boys and girls in the academy agree with this, but she just can't afford to have a feeling!

However, she knew what her father wanted her to be with Nick, or she was always so sensitive in business! It was because she knew her father's ambitions and knew what her father wanted her to do, so she did not reject Nick's pursuit.

On this day, Nick asked her to go to the boathouse for barbecue. She knew what it meant to go to the boathouse, so she refused: "Nick, I think we are far from this point. You know I am Chinese and are always conservative in this regard!"

A heart-warming smile appeared on Nick's handsome face: "No, you are not Chinese, but American, at least, you are taking American nationality!"

Lin Ling smiled slightly, and this smile immediately fascinated Nick: "How are you doing in the company now? You are so outstanding. Your father must hope that you will take over the family's career as soon as possible!"

Nick shook his head and glanced at the sexy girls coming in at the restaurant door: "I wish I could not be so anxious to get to that position. You all know that the old bones on the board will definitely not let me rule them so young!"

Lin Ling burst out laughing, thinking that this was a bit similar to her father's company! Looking at Nick, she was a little confused. Nick liked her very much, and only liked her, which she knew very well. But she really didn't understand that such a charming and handsome boy was not interested at all!

Maybe she has known Nick for too long, too familiar, and doesn’t feel that way! Moreover, she always feels that Nick is missing something, something that can make her heart move. Is Nick too steady? Or is it still not romantic enough and not considerate to girls? Not right!

Lin Ling knew that she was not a romantic girl, and Nick was very careful with her! She was confused and didn't understand what she wanted...

College has finally graduated. On this day, Nick got a fragrant kiss from Lin Ling, which made him so happy that he was almost exploded! In the past few years, Lin Ling has used conservative as an excuse to only develop with Nick to hold hands, hugs and kisses other places, and there will be no more! Nick feels like a prince waiting for the stone statue princess to wake up. He thinks that he may have waited...

Nick was disappointed and graduated. Lin Ling was even busier. She was busy all day long at her father's company and her own company! She just tried to take a while every week to drink something with him, talk about his thoughts, etc. He was more like a princess' friend than a prince!

On this day, Lin Ling met people who came to apply for the position of assistant president in a front-line company that was not very large. Lin Ling felt very dissatisfied when he met several times in a row. Until this young Chinese appeared, he answered Lin Ling's questions in an orderly manner. As Lin Ling hoped, he had the qualities she needed.

So Lin Ling nodded with a smile: "What's your name?"

The young man was dazzled by Lin Ling's smile and immediately replied: "My name is Chen Ziyang, Chinese..."

After Lin Ling graduated, she freed up her time and energy and finally began to make drastic efforts to complete the company she wanted! During a recruitment, she invited outstanding talents like Chen Ziyang.

So, after finishing her busy administrative management that she never liked very much, she began to plan her first deal, which would be a purchase of more than one billion US dollars, and her father's company's market value was only 2 billion. As a front-line company, she could not afford the money.

However, Lin Ling quickly convinced the old guy on the board to obtain 200 million US dollars in acquisition funds in the future! But there is still a gap of at least 800 million yuan. She began to get busy and went to meet important figures in major consortiums many times, hoping to convince them!

To her disappointment, most important figures in these consortiums could not believe a young girl's proposal - although this acquisition could make them 100% profitable.

On this day, she went to meet the president of another large consortium. The president was very interested in the acquisition case she proposed and even decided to take the risk to give it a try! However, he had one condition, that is, to invest in a front-line company! Lin Ling hesitated for a moment and quickly agreed that this was a good deal for both parties, and there was no reason to refuse.

The acquisition case was extremely successful. Within half a year, Lin Ling successfully acquired and sold the company worth one billion US dollars, retaining the most valuable part! This transaction made her call her a greedy lion by her partners. Since then, this nickname has been circulating on Wall Street and has become synonymous with the young female president of a front-line company!

It was not the expected profit of 100%, but more than 20%. This profit immediately made the old antiques of Lin Huainan Company realize the value of Lin Ling, and immediately added investment when they learned that the large consortium was going to invest!

By this time, Lin Huainan's Nantes Group held 42% of the equity in the front line, while the large consortium held 36% of the equity, and Lin Ling held 22% of the equity in the leftover! The first line was worth more than 500 million US dollars, and Lin Ling suddenly became a billionaire, which made Lin Huainan sigh that if there were a few years, his daughter might have more wealth than him!

However, no one knows that Lin Ling doesn't care about her wealth. She cares more about her parents and her brother. She was born in a family with strong family affection. The most important thing in her life is her relatives, so she is willing to be with Nick without any feelings! However, in her heart, she may still have the desire to pursue love. Don't forget that she is still a young child and has a yearning for love!

After Lin Ling made money, the first thing she did was to sell two percent of her equity and get 10 million US dollars. For this 10 million, she personally came to the place where her brother lived, hoping to hand it over to her. She knew that her brother was very good at spending money, and her father was becoming more and more stingy to her brother now!

However, as soon as my brother saw her, he closed the door. She waited outside the door for a long time before her brother finally opened the door impatiently and said fiercely: "What do you want, what am I doing now!"

"I don't want to do anything, brother, I can make a lot of money by myself! I know you are short of money for spending, so I gave it to you. Have you forgotten that I often borrowed money from you before, but I have never paid it back?" Lin Ling handed over the check of ten million US dollars!

In fact, at this moment, my brother was still moved, but in an instant he was covered up by other emotions. He tore the check into pieces and shouted angrily: "I don't want your sympathy and charity. I can make money, and I earn more than you, but you never give me a chance! You go, I don't want to see you!"

Lin Ling was stunned and stared at the door that she fell on. Suddenly, she felt that her world had completely collapsed. Shouldn’t relatives always be in harmony with each other? Why did her brother treat her like this? What did she do wrong...

She finally left in depression, with the pile of check fragments. What my brother tore was not the check, but her heart...

The career of the first-tier companies went smoothly, and the next two acquisitions made a lot of money for the first-tier companies! At the same time, the nickname of the greedy Lion is gradually known to more and more people, but they don’t know that this nickname belongs to a heartbreaking girl, a girl who is broken by her relatives!

Continuous financing and continuous expansion, the front line gradually made a certain reputation on Wall Street! However, a girl's heart has always been broken.

The Nick family began to feel uneasy. The girl Nick liked became bigger and bigger. Will one day completely overshadow her family? At that time, the girl may not look down on Nick. So they made a quick decision and immediately asked Nick to propose to Lin Ling and make the decision as soon as possible!

For several years, Lin Ling tried her best to squeeze out time to accompany Nick every week. This time, this time it was still the case. On weekends, they were enjoying dinner in the restaurant. Halfway through the meal, Nick wiped his mouth, and then half-kneeled down in the restaurant, and said affectionately to the beautiful princess in front of him: "Ling, marry me!"

Lin Ling was stunned and hesitated for a long time. She shook her head gently, Nick's face turned gray! The girl comforted him like this: "Nick, I can't agree to you for the time being, I need my father's opinion!"

This immediately brought a handsome boy back to life...

Lin Huainan disagrees with Lin Ling getting married so early. Of course, he had thought that Lin Ling would marry a family with stronger financial resources. However, he thought that Nick was a good boy, and Lin Ling was with him for so many years, which was definitely the most suitable one. So, he proposed to get engaged first. However, this father didn't know that Lin Ling actually had no feelings for Nick, and it was just because he wanted his daughter to be with Nick!

The engagement banquet is very luxurious. Lin Huainan and Nicole are top figures in the business world, and Lin Ling is also the president of a front-line company. What reason is there not luxurious?

However, no one knew that there was some sadness hidden in the luxurious engagement banquet! Lin Ling was facing the mirror in the room. She felt that she had done something wrong. Why was she not happy about getting engaged today, but was very upset?

She was thinking about things in the room, and Lin Huainan was also thinking about things. Today he was going to announce his heir at the engagement banquet. Although Lin Ling was a girl, he believed that with his daughter's talent, he could transfer all the Nico family's career to his daughter's hands!

Before the formal engagement, Lin Ling came down, as beautiful as an angel, and as if she was the legendary princess. Against the backdrop of the dress worth 100,000 US dollars, she was even more beautiful, which made everyone stunned! However, there was a hint of sorrow between the princess' eyebrows and eyes!

Countless praises penetrated into the princess' ears, but it made her heart even more irritable. At this time, Lin Huainan proudly came to the microphone and loudly said that he had something to announce. Then he called his daughter and son over: "Before the engagement begins, I, Lin Huainan, decided here that my career will be inherited by my daughter Lin Ling..."

This statement was like a bomb, blowing Lin Ling and Lin Dong's minds into pieces, and all their thoughts were in chaos. Lin Dong turned around and looked at his father without thinking: "Dad, how can you do this? What do you think of me?"

"Brother, no, there are many people here!" The princess suddenly turned into Lin Ling. She grabbed her brother in shock. The brother shook his hand hard and almost threw her to the ground. Lin Ling remembered at this moment that his brother started from throwing away himself, gradually becoming cold and like a stranger!

Lin Huainan stared at the incompetent son with a pale face and sneered: "What do you want to do? Do you hand over the company to you? Then you will be defeated in less than three years. What qualifications do you have to compare with Ling'er? From childhood to adulthood, what can you compare with her!"

Due to the excitement of the scene, their family had a Chinese conversation. Most of them didn't know what they were saying, but they also vaguely guessed something, just staring at the show with gloating pleasure!

Lin Huainan never expected that this sentence finally ignited the anger hidden in his son's heart, and yelled hysterically: "Yes, I have been unable to compare with Ling'er since I was a child. She is smarter than me and capable than me. I have failed countless times in business, but she can get bigger and bigger. I am not the only one who is your child, I am your child too!"

Lin Dong's hysterical look scared many people, and Lin Ling was the one who was completely stiff. However, Lin Dong couldn't help but shout: "I am your son, what have you helped me? I am not a waste. I also want to make achievements for you. I also want to get your praise and love. But what did you think of me and kick me aside. Yes, I am a waste, I am a waste. I am not worthy of being your son, your brother!" The last sentence was said to Lin Ling who was slumped on the ground!

Lin Ling was crying. In the past, she used to cry, and her brother always came to wipe her tears and comfort her, until she burst into tears and laughed. But this time, who could coax her to comfort her?

At this moment, Lin Ling finally understood why his brother became like that, but that was a painful understanding! She wished she would become a little mediocre. At least, she would not lose her brother and her family would not fall apart!

Looking at his son who was leaving in anger, Lin Huainan seemed to have grown up ten years old. He suddenly realized that he had done something wrong, perhaps even a big mistake! Looking at his son's back, his heart ached faintly. He quickly took a few medicines before he could barely calm down!

Lin Ling had thought about it. Without her brother wiping her tears, she should have learned to do it herself. After wiping her tears, her makeup was also wiped off, as if she had also wiped off the mask at the same time. She firmly said to Lin Huainan: "Dad, I don't want your company!"
To be continued...
