Chapter 34 Summer in Milan? Spring (Part )

Why did Ricardo suddenly want to investigate Chiara? This is also Li Qi's life experience ringing the alarm bell: "How can pie fall from the sky? (Cantonese) Where is such a big bitch jumping around on the street?"

The main thing was that when Chiara hinted last night that he didn't need to use an umbrella, although Ricardo was a little nervous, he still held back. Matters involving human lives have to be cautious... Find out the situation first.

After asking Uncle Charles for help, Ricardo returned home and did what he had to do.

Oh, after lunch, I called Sarafina who was far away in London, but Ricardo felt a little guilty...

Sarafina's school actually ended two weeks ago, but she had been preparing for the IELTS exam and application materials in a closed-door manner until last weekend.

After watching Ricardo play in the World Youth Championship final in the Netherlands last weekend, Sarafina went directly to the UK to participate in a three-week summer camp study tour organized by the school.

Although Sarafina will not officially graduate from high school until next year and go to college, universities in Europe and the United States mainly use an application system rather than the college entrance examination system like China.

Therefore, this summer is Sarafina's main application window. Sarafina will be relatively free after receiving the admission notice around the end of this year or early next year.

In the next two months, Sarafina will prepare her English test scores (IELTS), as well as her personal statement and other resume materials and submit them to the target schools she wants to apply for. In addition, she will participate in the study tour summer camps organized by major institutions.

On the surface, these summer camps are travel programs, and their purpose is to expand horizons and knowledge; in fact, they are opportunities for top students with resources to get in touch with their favorite schools in advance. Including wealthy princesses like Sarafina, during this period, they will have advance interviews or meet with admissions officers of various schools, which is a two-way selection in advance.

Otherwise, if the little princess of the Ferrero family's application is rejected, or if the full scholarship offer from the London School of Economics is abandoned, it would be very cheap, right? Communicate and discuss in advance so that everyone can save energy and resources.

Yes, Sarafina’s current goal is to study accounting and finance at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), followed by University College London (UCL).

Of course, Sarafina will also visit famous universities such as Cambridge, Oxford, and Manchester University during this study tour. But the little princess mainly wants to live in a big city, and she doesn’t want too much academic pressure. After all, after graduation, she will either be idle, play chicken, fight dogs, eat and wait for death, or go home to inherit a huge family business...

Academics are just a decoration for appearances, just enough is enough, if you really want to, you can go to a better and more prestigious school for graduate or doctoral studies. Ricardo has always advised Sarafina in this way, don't try too hard, just enough is enough, leave a way for ordinary children. He completely ignored the fact that he had almost driven his own brother Andre to hang himself...

Sarafina's study tour and pre-interviews will be carried out over three weeks, with a short break after July 7. Then Sarafina will have to start preparing for various competitions and exams for applying to universities. The schedule is very tight...

So Sarafina planned to go on a trip to Asia with Ricardo! They agreed to take the same flight from Barcelona to Tokyo. However, it was likely that the little princess would enjoy first class, while Ricardo would be on the bench in economy class.

"Hmph! Once we're on the plane, I'll secretly upgrade my cabin. I'll make those other idiots on the bench envious. I'll try to sit next to Ronaldinho's father to enhance our friendship..." Ricardo was still making some plans in his mind.

……

Sarafina hung up the phone and continued her activities with her classmates...

Ricardo, who hadn't yet mastered the mentality of a complete scumbag, calmed down his guilty mood, and he also had to quickly prepare...

After searching for a while, I found that there seemed to be not much left in my mother's cabinet...

"Forget it, let's reward Chiara for her initiative last night and take her to buy a bag today. It would be too conspicuous to take her mother's new bag, and we might be discovered..." Ricardo put down the brand new white Hermès bag and made a decision.

In the evening, Uncle Douglas and I roughly determined the distribution terms of the trust - an anonymous trust fund, with a total annual management fee, custody fee and other service fees not exceeding 1.2%, and performance fees settled every 5 years at fair value or realizable value. If the project and target are recommended by UBS, the performance fee is 20%, and if the project and target are selected by Ricardo himself, the performance fee is 10%...

Then Ricardo took Chiara to Via Montenapoleone to buy bags and clothes... There was no need to go home to change clothes, they could just go together.

Then, after dinner, we will seize the time... to hold meetings and complete the establishment process! After all, a night of love is worth a thousand gold...

……

(Omitted a few thousand words of the process which was similar to the previous nights. The main difference was that the meeting tonight was more formal, and I wore various newly bought uniforms and suits...)

……

Time quietly came to Friday. Today was quite busy, so Ricardo didn't even go home in the morning. He lifted weights and ran in the hotel gym... Today was considered a training without a ball. Oh, no, I still played with the big white jade ball for a while, hehe...

Ahem, it’s the big purple yoga ball in the gym! Don’t let your imagination run wild…

After breakfast, he sent Chiara to work, then Ricardo parked the car and deliberately went to a nearby Starbucks to sit for half an hour - yes, in order to deliberately create the illusion of staggered arrival... He didn't drink coffee, so he specially ordered a cup of lemon tea...

"Well, less sugar, less ice and more wolfberry, thank you..."

"Huh? Can Starbucks really have wolfberries?!"

"Oh, so there is still no..."

"Then less sugar and less ice would be better..."

At 10 o'clock in the morning, I made an appointment with Manager Douglas to formally sign the contract for establishing the trust and transfer the funds. Then after next week, UBS will be entrusted to contact the target companies set by Ricardo to conduct equity negotiations.

After signing the contract, Douglas and Chiara learned about Ricardo's target companies. They looked at the three company names written by Ricardo, Tesla, Facebook and YouTube, and were a little confused. Not to mention that they were not one of the 50 unicorns on the list provided by UBS, but mainly because they and their colleagues in the branch had never heard of these three companies...

It's an American company, so it's normal that I haven't heard of UBS in Italy...

Douglas couldn't help but complain privately: "Hey, Chiara, what's going on after so many days?"

Chiara was also a little guilty: "I'm sorry, boss, he hasn't mentioned this at all in the past few days..."

Douglas glanced at Chiara, whose face was slightly red, and asked, "What are you busy with every day?" However, he didn't ask this question out loud, as long as he knew it in his heart...

Douglas ignored the time difference and quickly inquired with his colleagues in the United States. Tesla has only been established for a few years and just received a large amount of financing last year. This is relatively normal in Texas, a traditional industrial powerhouse in the United States.

As a new Internet company, Facebook has just secured a large amount of financing in Silicon Valley, California, USA. Well, that's understandable.

But the YouTube channel in Silicon Valley, California, was just established in the first half of this year? It is still running data and will not be officially launched until the end of the year? How did Cardo know about this? Did he talk about it while inspecting the site?

Douglas could only reluctantly help Ricardo find excuses... There was no other way. The client was God, not to mention that it was a big client who entrusted him with $3000 million. He was closer to him than his own father...

But isn’t it about investing in unicorns? These three companies have either just raised their first round of financing or have just been established… Where are their unicorns? What makes them unique?

Leaving Douglas disheveled in the wind and his colleagues at the outlets looking at each other in bewilderment, Ricardo had already found an excuse to take Chiara out for lunch...

After dinner, Ricardo rushed home to change clothes, then went to attend a Coca-Cola business event, and then came back to pick up Chiara to celebrate in the evening.

Today, Ricardo gave a new Nokia mobile phone to my father. He found the gift box in his father's closet while changing clothes at home in the afternoon. I don't know which little fairy my father originally planned to give it to. I just gave it as a return gift to my mother's gift box a few days ago to help her solve her problems!

"I, Ricardo, am a decent person and I will always repay a favor."

"Then I left a message to my mom to let her know that I saw the gift my dad bought for me after winning the championship - a new Nokia phone. Thank you, Mom and Dad."

"Well, I left a message to my dad saying that my mom found the new phone gift box, and then I took the initiative to take responsibility and helped my dad avoid the risk..."

Ricardo is so careful in everything he does... As for the gift box I took from my mother a few days ago... My mother has too many gift boxes, almost filling up half the room. If I don't mention it, my mother won't notice it. In another half a year, she might not even remember it... So, I took it away quietly and didn't mention it...

Didn't Ricardo consider that it was his father who bought the phone for his mother? How could that be possible! They have been married for so many years and have two children... Besides, as the youngest son, how could Ricardo not know his father's character?

And even if it is really a gift for my mother, as long as it has not been delivered to her, it would be a beautiful misunderstanding ~ After all, my mother’s birthday is still more than a month away!

"After giving it to Chiara, it will mainly be convenient for her to take selfies and send MMS to me in the future. Oh, no, it is mainly to facilitate communication and reporting..."

After dinner, the two went straight to the hotel. The hotel room had not been checked out this week...

……

(Omitted the process of about several thousand words which was similar to the previous nights. There was no difference tonight. I just did everything I tried in the previous few days at the same time...

I heard someone say that adding books to the bookshelf and following the latest updates can have hidden chapters?! Absolutely not!)

……

On Saturday morning, Ricardo, who had played slightly more rounds than before, felt as if something in his body had been emptied out… not the kind of hollowing out that middle-aged people feel, but the kind of hollowing out that young people feel that they can’t explain…

No matter how Ricardo defends himself, he is about to enter a longer period of sage time.

Mainly in the morning, Chiara said her period had come... No wonder there were hints two days ago, it turned out to be a safe period...

After sending Chiara home to rest, Riccardo went directly to attend the promotional activities and photo shoot of Italian Telecom TIM.

I went home in the afternoon and started packing my luggage. I also made an appointment with my friends in the evening and played a few more games of black.

I wanted them to see their dad's progress... and then Ricardo was taught a lesson again.

On Sunday morning, after attending Nike's promotional activities and photo shoot as scheduled, Ricardo, who had experienced a week of shameless life, was finally going back to Barcelona, ​​Spain.

Before going to the airport, he asked Pimenta to take him to Uncle Charles' law firm to get the prepared background check report on Chiara.

Charles took out the report and wanted to explain a few words: "Ricardo, this is the report. I am still healthy and my family background is clean, but please note..."

"Okay, Uncle Charles, thank you! I have a plane to catch, so I'll leave first. I'll take the report when I get on the plane." Before my uncle finished talking, Ricardo came in hurriedly, collected the report, and left in a hurry...

Before leaving, he said, "Remember to keep it a secret for my friends, especially for my parents and brother..."

Charles looked at the fool who had just left and couldn't help shaking his head again:

"Your friend? Then why keep it secret from your family?"

"And you haven't come home for a week straight. Not only your parents, your brother, and your cooking and cleaning aunt, but even your dog knows what's going on..."

"Forget it, I'll give a copy of the report to my brother and sister-in-law, and let Andre take it back in the evening..."

……

In Pimenta's car, Ricardo couldn't wait to read the report:

"Huh? Even the measurements are included?! Isn't this too damn detailed?"

"Oh, I found her physical examination report for the first half of the year..."

"Well, it seems that Old Li Qi's experience and judgment are still reliable. His visual and manual measurements are very accurate..."

Chiara Fontana was born on April 1979, 4 in Palermo, Sicily. She is an Aries, 10 meters tall, has blood type O, and holds a bachelor's degree in business administration.

His father is a decorator, his mother is a housewife, and he has a younger brother who is 6 years younger than him and has been working in a local auto repair shop since graduating from junior high school.

Chiara is quite hardworking. After graduating from the University of Palermo, she first joined the local Bank of Sicily as a customer manager. Only last year did she switch to join the Milan branch of UBS.

According to her childhood friends and colleagues, Chiara had four not-so-short relationships in middle school, college and the Bank of Sicily, two of which were in college and lasted more than a year each.

There were rumors in the Bank of Sicily that Chiara had disputes and scandals with several major clients, which caused some bad influence in the local area. So Chiara, who had just broken up with her boyfriend, went to Milan to look for a job.

However, after joining UBS last summer, Chiara did not seem to have a new relationship, but it is said that several big clients are entangled with her...

Hmm? The latest situation is that since last month, it seems that Chiara has been having an affair with a new young male client... Uncle Charles won't find out about Ricardo's... friend, will he?

In addition, it is worth noting that Chiara has a gambling habit. There is a history of Chiara betting in several well-known bookmakers and casinos. The amount is not too large, but basically there are at least a few times every year, but less in the past two years.

Also, although Chiara is still healthy, she has a habit of smoking and drinking... Smoking? Ricardo, who has been sticking with Chiara every day in the past week, didn't notice it.

Although Ricardo's parents and brother smoke occasionally, Ricardo does not smoke. He even hates the smell of cigarettes because his father was a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer at the age of 50...

Therefore, Ricardo's family equated Ricardo's aversion to the smell of cigarettes with a sequelae of aphasia, similar to severe alcohol allergy.

Was Chiara so perceptive that she noticed Ricardo's aversion to the smell of cigarettes when they first met?

There are also some data and information that Ricardo is unwilling to disclose to readers and viewers, such as measurements, weight, and some minor uterine problems that may affect fertility...

Uncle Charles is still very capable. He basically got a clear picture of Chiara's background in just a few days...

After reading the report, Ricardo didn't bother to look at the stewardess this time on the plane, and fell into a deep sleep, oh no, deep in thought...

I played too late last night... I'm so sleepy.

……

"Barcelona, ​​I, Hu Hansan, am back again!" Huh? Why does Ricardo like to mock himself as Hu Hansan every time he returns to a familiar place?

"Who is Hu Hansan? He sounds like a Chinese. I need to study Chinese history and literature in detail..."

"But it seems that there is no such person in the Four Great Classics or the Twenty-Four Histories. What era did he live in? Oh, I'm so curious..."

……

As the plane landed steadily on the runway of Barcelona International Airport, Ricardo Liqi's 05/06 season officially began!
