Chapter 1192 - 1150: Net Worth
"This twenty-six million..."Lin Jie, who was about to brush it off with an excuse, suddenly realized that he wasn't really short on cash anymore. The medical research funds were quite sufficient for now, so there was no need to hide this income.
He spoke frankly: "Kexin, I helped a bit with the generic drug of Mabthera that Zhengmao Pharmaceutical is selling hotly. This is the rights fee from Fu Xiuyuan."
An Kexin's eyes widened as she asked in surprise, "Ah Jie, you know how to do pharmaceutical research?"
Lin Jie just smiled and said, "Even if I'm a genius, I'm not that much of a genius. I don't know anything about pharmaceuticals. Mainly, someone anonymously sent me a Mabthera..."
He repeated the spiel he had previously spun for Fu Xiuyuan to An Kexin.
An Kexin seemed to understand, nodded, and said, "Some foreigners do have an overwhelming sense of justice. It's quite possible they'd anonymously send you the formula for Mabthera."
She looked at Lin Jie and said whimsically, "I've realized that once a person has enough fame, good things come pouring in. Making money becomes the easiest thing to do, not exactly like having all your wishes fulfilled, but close."
At this point, An Kemeng came over and asked, "Brother Jie, how are you planning to spend that twenty-six million? Why not buy a yacht, maybe those seventy to eighty meters long, over a hundred meters long, ones that can sail far out into the deep sea?"
"You and Sister can go on a round-the-world honeymoon on a luxury yacht; just imagine how amazing that would be."
The next sentence exposed her little agenda, "Miaomiao and I can accompany you, don't worry, we won't disturb any of your romantic moments."
Lin Jie reached out and flicked her forehead lightly, chuckling, "Such large luxury yachts can't be bought with just twenty-six million, more like two hundred and sixty million."
"As for a round-the-world honeymoon?"
He looked at An Kexin and asked, "Kexin, do you have any thoughts on that?"
An Kexin, with a face full of longing, just imagined it for a moment before sighing lightly, "A round-the-world honeymoon? It's not realistic. Neither of us has that much free time."
"Besides, don't forget your disaster aura that you carry with you."
An Kexin joked, "I'm really worried our round-the-world honeymoon will turn into an adventure story."
Black lines appeared on Lin Jie's forehead as he defended, "The accidents during our past travels were just coincidences. How could I have such formidable bad luck?"
"Didn't we return safely from our recent trip to the Capital City?"
But Lin Miao said seriously, "Brother, you call it a coincidence, but the frequency of coincidences is too high, isn't it?"
She directly suggested, "Binhai also has a lot of fun places, why not honeymoon here instead?"
An Kemeng countered, "Miaomiao, Brother Jie and Sister only have one honeymoon in their lifetime; they can't just spend it haphazardly."
Lin Jie also felt that it shouldn't be that simple.
He thought for a moment and said, "Kexin, although both of us have a lot on our plates, we can always squeeze out some time. Even if it's not a full honeymoon, we can manage one or two weeks."
"Is there any country or place you've been wanting to visit?"
An Kexin shook her head and said, "Ah Jie, I think honeymooning in Binhai sounds just fine!"
She discreetly reminded him, "It's not as safe abroad as it is at home right now, there are so many reports of terrorist activities on TV."
With that reminder, Lin Jie also considered that he was currently a thorn in the side of several major international pharmaceutical groups.
Going abroad for a honeymoon might really not be a good choice.
At that moment, he also recalled a wish Shen Lanruo once mentioned wanting to fulfill.
Which was to find a remote, secluded place like a deep mountain forest and live an isolated life for a while without thinking about anything.
Lin Jie suddenly felt a little ashamed.
He had promised Shen Lanruo to gradually realize the things she wanted to do but hadn't done.
Now, he couldn't say he didn't have the ability, but the wishes he had fulfilled for Shen Lanruo were only a few at best.
Lin Jie slowly said, "Before, when I wasn't feeling well, I lived like a turtle. Now, I'm like a spinning top, unable to stop."
"Kexin, why don't we take advantage of the honeymoon to find a peaceful place, like a deep mountain forest or the vast ocean, to live a few days of an isolated life, without any worries or concerns?"
"Such places should be quite safe as well."
An Kexin seemed a bit intrigued and said, "That kind of honeymoon seems nice too..."
"Yacht, yacht!"
An Kemeng eagerly suggested, "Brother Jie, if you can't afford a big yacht, you can rent one."
"In the endless sea, it would be like being isolated from the world, right? If we get tired of the monotonous ocean, we could find an uninhabited island, explore and have fun there."
Lin Jie nodded and said, "That's a good idea."
"Miaomiao, what's your suggestion?"
Lin Miao hesitated and said, "I think it's best to stay in Binhai and not go anywhere. If we hit a typhoon on the sea, it would be really dangerous."
An Kexin chuckled softly and said, "Miaomiao, don't worry, those large yachts can withstand typhoons."
"And the yacht isn't really isolated from the world. It constantly checks the nearby sea conditions and satellite weather maps via satellite communications, and will avoid particularly bad weather in time."
Lin Jie pinched Lin Miao's nose and said, "We don't necessarily have to go to the open sea; we can have fun near the coast, just traveling up and down north and south."
"Oh..."
An Kexin thought of something and said with a smile, "Ah Jie, didn't that chief gentleman promise that if his brain tumor is cured, he will gift you a yacht?"
She said with stars in her eyes, "I wonder what class of yacht he intends to give!"
Lin Jie shook his head and laughed, "Don't always think about good things. Whether the chief's brain tumor can be cured is still uncertain. Even if it's cured, the yacht he gifts might not make it in time for our honeymoon."
He decided, "Here's what we'll do, I'll first have Ling Mengjiao contact a yacht rental agency to see if there are any suitable yachts for rent. We'll rent the largest and most luxurious one that can withstand a typhoon."
Lin Jie boastfully said, "We're not short of money at all now, even if the rental fee is several million, we can afford it."
An Kemeng laughed, "Brother Jie, you are now exuding the dazzling aura of a nouveau riche, hehe..."
She looked at An Kexin and curiously asked, "Sister, I know Brother Jie is very wealthy now, do you know his exact assets? Has he surpassed our An Family?"
An Kexin was slightly taken aback and said, "This... I really don't know."
She thought for a moment and said, "Ah Jie's main assets are the shares he directly or indirectly holds in Anlin Hospital, Anlin Garden, Anlin Pharmaceutical, Anlin Intelligent Medical, Anlin Precision, and Anlin Hotel."
"Also, his rights in Life No.1 Inducer, Microcurrent Meter, Trauma Accelerator, and Mabthera generic drugs."
"In terms of shares, although only Anlin Hospital is currently in operation, the prospects for the other projects are very promising. Based on current valuations, if we do a rough estimate..."
An Kexin did a mental calculation and said, "According to the bank's valuation of our projects, the shares Ah Jie directly or indirectly owns are valued at approximately 1.2 billion."
"The few rights Ah Jie holds are estimated to generate normal annual revenues of around 300 to 500 million."
"With this calculation, Ah Jie is indeed wealthier than our An Family."
An Kemeng widened her eyes and couldn't help exclaiming, "It's really surprising when you calculate it, I didn't expect Brother Jie's assets to be so substantial, he's actually a billionaire!"
Lin Jie also laughed, "I'm surprised too when I calculated it."
"Kemeng, your sister forgot to mention one thing, bank loans!"
"Much of my investment funds came from bank loans, and if you subtract the debts..."
After calculating, he was surprised to find that even after subtracting the bank debts, he still seemed to be a billionaire.
Lin Jie sighed a bit, surprised at how he had grown to this level without even realizing it.
An Kexin said admiringly, "Miaomiao, Kemeng, let me tell you another figure, Ah Jie's studio now has as much as 370 million in its bank accounts."
"Such a large amount of disposable cash, there aren't many large enterprise groups in Binhai that can produce it!"
Looking at the excited faces of An Kemeng and Lin Miao, Lin Jie quickly explained, "It's not what you think, this 370 million cash isn't all mine. Most of it is money paid by foreign medical institutions for purchasing Life No.1 Inducer."
"This income is to be used for cancer treatment research."
"Investing in this is a bottomless pit, and this 300 million is not easy to spend."
An Kemeng snorted lightly and said, "Brother Jie, you don't need to hurry to explain, I'm not asking you for money or to borrow money, humph!"
Lin Miao also calmed down a bit and said, "As long as the money is enough for me to spend and use, it's fine. No amount of money is worth more than having my brother healthy and by our side forever."
Lin Jie reached out and embraced her shoulder, squeezing it tightly and said, "Don't always worry about this and that, your brother promises to live at least to eighty years old."
"No, live to a hundred!" Lin Miao corrected seriously.
"Alright, you two stop being so mushy!"
An Kexin smiled and said, "Ah Jie, let me tell you one more thing!"
"In light of your irreplaceable and immeasurable contribution to the development of Anlin Hospital, several of us shareholders discussed and decided to give you a certain percentage of our shares, raising your share in Anlin Hospital to 20%!"
This news really surprised Lin Jie.
"Kexin, there's no need for everyone to give me shares, is there?"
"The proportion of shares was decided earlier. Asking them to give them away now, doesn't seem right, does it? Besides, I don't lack money."
An Kexin said seriously, "Ah Jie, although you don't lack money, this is what you deserve."
"Ah Jie, don't think this proposal was initiated by me or my father."
"Actually, this was only informed to my father and me after it was discussed by the Fu Family, Young Master Ye from the Capital City, and Ye Hongqing and other shareholders."
"They unanimously thought that the 10% shares you previously had were far from matching the major contributions you've made to the development of Anlin Hospital..."
