In their eyes, several thousand dollars is not a small amount.
The two of them quickly waved their hands to indicate that they could not accept it.
The mother said, "No, we can't have it. You can take it back."
Seeing this scene, Zhang Bufan was a bit troubled. Now that it had been delivered to Zhao, there was no reason to take it back.
Wang Yan looked at Zhang Bufan and continued, "You also know your mother's character. If she knew that you gave us such an expensive gift, she would scold you to death."
After hearing this, Zhang Bufan's expression darkened.
He knew very well that his mother was petty and even though he was an adult, she still treated him like a child and controlled him in every way.
This time I came to give her the gift without telling her.
The reason I came to give a gift was that I had something important to say to Chen Ming.
So he smiled and said, "Aunt, this is not a big deal, it's only a thousand yuan, for me, this amount of money is nothing."
After a pause, Zhang Bufan looked at Chen Ming, changed the subject, and said, "Uncle, aunt, my cousin and I are going out to discuss something."
After listening to this, Chen Ming, who was eating, was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him with some curiosity.
What's going on here can't be discussed right here on the spot. We have to go outside to discuss it.
But since he said so, he must have his reasons, so Chen Ming didn't ask directly.
At this time, Chen Gensheng looked at Chen Ming with a smile, "Your cousin wants to talk to you, why don't you go over quickly."
Although he was curious about what Zhang Bufan wanted to do with Chen Ming, since it was a matter for young people, they did not interfere.
Chen Ming shrugged, stood up, and followed Zhang Bufan out the door.
Looking at the two people's backs as they walked out, mother Wang Yan smiled silently.
She was also quite satisfied with Zhang Bufan. Seeing two outstanding children come together, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
After arriving outside and walking next to his uncle's Toyota, Chen Ming asked, "Cousin, what's going on? Why are you being so mysterious?"
He guessed that Zhang Bufan came to see him because of the game.
But for things like this, you can just talk about it over the phone, there's no need to come over.
Both of them left their phone numbers with each other last night.
Zhang Bufan glanced at Chen Ming, and then said, "Cousin, it's better not to give this game to me."
Chapter 180: The income from the game goes to the foundation, and the parents hold the controlling stake!
After hearing what Zhang Bufan said, Chen Ming was stunned for a moment.
I was so excited that I couldn't sleep last night and stayed up all night.
It's only been a few hours, why did he suddenly change his mind
Chen Ming asked in surprise: "What happened?"
There shouldn't be such a big change in these few hours.
Zhang Bufan sighed deeply, but did not directly answer Chen Ming's question. Instead, he continued:
"I've thought about it carefully, and there's another way. That's to set up a foundation and let your parents hold shares in the foundation. In this way, the game revenue will not go directly into your parents' account, but will be counted as the foundation's revenue."
After a pause, he added: "Even if they really investigate, it won't have any impact. However, this matter is a bit troublesome to handle. But don't worry, I will definitely help you. I will be an administrator in the foundation and be responsible for managing it for your parents."
After listening to this, Chen Ming thought about it for a while.
He had also heard of the method of establishing a foundation.
In order to avoid taxes and to avoid appearing too high-profile on the rich list, many wealthy people abroad set up private foundations.
This method is very effective in terms of both property ownership and confidentiality.
For Chen Ming, letting his parents hold shares in the foundation does not really have much impact.
After all, the money earned did not belong to his parents, but to the foundation.
This means that no matter how much money there is, it does not belong to individuals but to the institution. Even if parents hold 100% of the shares of the foundation, the money in the foundation cannot be directly classified as personal property. After all, the institution's money can be used for charity and public welfare, which is to serve the public.
Of course, how much of the institution's money is spent and where it is spent is decided by the shareholders.
However, the process of setting up a foundation is relatively cumbersome in terms of various procedures.
Chen Ming looked at Zhang Bufan with some doubts, and couldn't help asking, "Why go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be the same if I just transferred the money directly to your card? It's not like I don't trust you."
If Chen Ming didn't trust his cousin, he wouldn't have given him the game files last night.
Zhang Bufan looked bitter.
He naturally knew that this method was simple, but he had his own difficulties.
Zhang Bufan smiled miserably and said to Chen Ming: "I thought so last night, but you also know my mother's personality."
When Chen Ming heard it, he understood instantly.
To put it bluntly, my aunt's personality is petty and she can't stand others being better than herself.
Zhang Bufan said with a gloomy expression: "If this money is deposited into my card, my mother will definitely do all kinds of tricks if she finds out. It may cause our two families to completely break off contact with each other because of interests."
In the face of interests, many family ties can vanish in an instant.
Chen Ming has heard too many such things. There are many cases where good brothers who shared life and death together and worked together to make money ended up turning against each other and fighting to the death.
This is the reason why some people say not to do business with acquaintances. When it comes to interests, many relationships and feelings are unreliable.
Especially with my aunt's personality, if she knew the whole story, she might make my cousin do something out of line.
My cousin is a very honest person and has almost no room for resistance in front of my aunt.
Zhang Bufan took a deep breath of the cold air and looked up at the sky, feeling mixed emotions.
This morning, after Chen Ming and his parents left, all the relatives slowly left.
At that time, he had just finished recording various information about the game PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, had just turned off the computer, and was about to go to bed.
As a result, he was pulled off the bed by his mother Chen Liping and scolded.
She scolded him for being a loser, running around for Chen Ming, and even gave her bed to Chen Ming.
She also said that Chen Ming was just a temporarily successful guy and might not be as successful as him in the future.
He hadn't eaten breakfast and hadn't slept all night, so he was sleepy and hungry. He felt very aggrieved after being scolded.
In the end, his mother scolded him more and more harshly, and he was so angry that he ran out of the room, went downstairs, drove his father's car, found a secluded place, and planned to sleep in the car.
But as soon as he closed his eyes, all he could see was his mother scolding him in the morning.
I was so upset that I couldn't sleep at all, so I just gave up and let my mind wander. I couldn't help but think about the revenue from this game.
He also figured out that he must not take the profits from this game directly, otherwise if his mother found out, she would definitely force him to do something immoral.
Zhang Bufan looked into the distance and said to Chen Ming, "Cousin, you should know that I have never played with you since I was a child. Even during the Chinese New Year, I was locked in my room."
Chen Ming thought about it and it seemed to be true.
In his memory, when he was a child, every Chinese New Year, a group of children from the relatives circle would gather together to play, and it was popular at that time to patrol the streets with toy guns.
After they greeted everyone and received red envelopes with the words "Wish you a Happy New Year" in exchange, they excitedly ran to the store, bought toy guns, and played various games against each other.
However, Zhang Bufan never participated in this kind of game.
He stayed in the room to do his homework, and after finishing his homework he played with his toys by himself.
It seemed like they were from two different worlds compared to these rural relatives and kids.
Chen Ming clearly remembered that he had seen his cousin sticking his head out of the room several times.
Looking at this group of kids of the same age with envy, Chen Ming could tell that his cousin was extremely yearning for them.
But every time this happened, Aunt Chen Liping would glare at Zhang Bufan fiercely.
When my cousin saw the look in my aunt’s eyes, he was like a lamb seeing a hungry wolf. He was so scared that he quickly retracted his head, closed the door reluctantly, and went back to study.
At that time, Chen Ming felt that this cousin was extremely pitiful.
Zhang Bufan let out a long sigh, and said exhaustedly, "My mother taught me since I was young that I am different from you. She told me that I should study hard and not hang out with country kids. I would pick up your bad habits, which would affect my academic performance."
After hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but feel helpless.
We are all people from the countryside, why would we develop such an inexplicable sense of superiority
After thinking for a while, Zhang Bufan suddenly said, "There is another thing that makes me feel particularly sorry."
He looked at Chen Ming and said, "This matter has been buried in my heart for more than ten years, and I have never told anyone."
After listening to this, Chen Ming pricked up his ears and listened attentively.
Zhang Bufan seemed to be lost in memories, and he said slowly: "When I was in high school, my deskmate was a girl."
"Don't get me wrong, we weren't dating, we just got along well. One day after school, my mom happened to be free that day, so she came to pick me up."
"She saw me getting close to that girl and thought I was in a premature relationship. She just came up to the girl and told her not to affect my studies without asking any questions."
"The girl was stunned for a moment and wanted to explain, but my mother didn't give her a chance and just dragged me away."
"After that, the girl deliberately kept her distance from me."
"Although I felt disappointed at the time, I thought that the matter was over."
