Chapter: 2781

He Yuanjiang said sincerely: "I think you can definitely go to America and find your grandfather, with him backing you up, you won't have to worry about the Ye family or Su family. Because even if they are tied together, they're not a match for your grandfather."

Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock as he asked curiously: "Professor He, is your grandfather really that powerful?"

He Yuanjiang said seriously: "Powerful? It's not just powerful! The three biggest families in the world are comparable to nations. One is the Rothschild family in Europe, one is the Saudi royal family in the Middle East, and another is the American-Chinese, Ah Jin!"

As he spoke, He Yuanjiang continued: "Do you know how much wealth your mother created for Ah Jin?"

Ye Chen shook his head, feeling ashamed and regretful as he exclaimed: "I'm not lying to you, Professor He. I don't have a deep understanding of my grandfather's family. One reason is that when I was young, I didn't know much about them. Although my mom took me to visit my grandparents a few times, I still don't understand their background. Another reason is that, in my impression, my mom and my grandfather weren't very close."

He Yuanjiang nodded seriously: "That's correct. Your mom and dad got together and wanted to go back to the country with him and marry into the Ye family, but your grandfather was very dissatisfied. He thought the Ye family wasn't worthy of being his kin."

As he spoke, He Yuanjiang said seriously: "Actually, your grandfather wasn't wrong. The Ye family at that time was indeed like that, although they were very powerful in China. However, internationally, they didn't have much face."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "What kind of industry does my grandfather's family do?"

He Yuanjiang sighed: "Your grandfather's family does almost everything you can think of. Ah Jin should have some involvement in any industry. However, Ah Jin is extremely low-key, and they have thousands of companies all over the world, but these companies don't seem to be related to Ah Jin on the surface. Ah Jin people also rarely appear publicly, just like the Rothschild family."

He Yuanjiang continued: "The current business of the Rothschild family doesn't seem too many from the outside, but what's crucial is that they have more than one bank and hold significant shares in many banks."

"Having a bank is equivalent to controlling the financial sector, and currently, most companies need to go through banks for financing and listing. Therefore, families like this will naturally invest in many start-ups and listed companies through venture capital funds and stock funds. You can see that almost all of the top 500 companies in Europe and America have shares held by the Rothschild family, although their shareholding structure is extremely secretive and intricate, making it impossible for outsiders to discern.

Speaking of this, He Yuanjiang looked at Ye Chen with a reverent expression: "Ah Jin's operations route is similar to that of the Rothschild family. So, I'm not sure how much your grandfather has, even he himself may not know exactly. And I have no way of knowing either.

However, I do know that your mother founded a venture capital fund in Silicon Valley thirty years ago, with a total scale exceeding 100 billion US dollars.

Other funds would need to raise such massive amounts from multiple wealthy individuals or even individual investors, but your mother's fund was entirely self-funded by Ah Jin!

And besides, the development process of Silicon Valley over the past many years is well-known to most people. A large batch of top 500 companies were born here, as well as a large batch of elite IT tycoons."

"They are giants like Google, Apple, Yahoo, Cisco, Oracle, Tesla, and so on, which have emerged from Silicon Valley step by step. They've grown to this point today, with their market value increasing by tens of thousands of times, leaving enormous room for growth."

"Even if it's just an ordinary shareholder, if he bought Apple stock twenty years ago, his returns would be nearly four hundred times now."

"But you know that your mother had already invested in Apple before you were born using her venture capital fund!"

"When Jobs met her as a respected guest, she used several billion dollars to exchange for 10% shares of Apple at the time when its value was only a few tens of billions of US dollars!"

"Now, Apple's market value is over two trillion US dollars, equivalent to more than 15 trillion Chinese yuan!"

"That 10% share your mother invested in has gone through multiple rounds of dilution and reduction, and now it should be around 6%."

"Translated into Chinese yuan, it's roughly equivalent to nearly 900 billion yuan!"

"But your mother didn't just invest in Jobs' Apple; she also invested in her Stanford colleague, Larry Page."

"Larry Page is the founder of Google, which produces products such as Google search, Google Maps, Android mobile systems, and the AlphaGo robot that was very famous a few years ago."

"Now, this company's market value has also exceeded 1 trillion US dollars, and your mother's venture capital fund holds more than 10% shares in this company." JrNovels.com
