Chapter: 4309

"'This thing took us fifteen years to achieve, and during those fifteen years, we had to continuously pay these people high fees privately.' 'So you understand why we spent so much money?'"

"Li Yalin nodded thoughtfully and sighed: 'Understood... Twenty years of time, tens of billions of dollars wasted on a futile endeavor, and only the wealthy could afford to burn such a large amount.'"

"An Chongqiu smiled slightly: 'Not burning money at all - although we spent a lot, these funds were spent gradually over twenty years, and the returns from the trust fund were quite substantial... The account balance was almost $3.56 billion just before half a year ago.'"

"Li Yalin exclaimed in surprise: 'How is that possible?! We've already spent tens of billions!'"

"An Chongqiu nodded again: 'Earning while spending - the returns from the trust fund were very high in recent years, with an annual return of several points not abnormal... And it's a compound interest model, so the money naturally grows exponentially.'"

"As he said this, An Chongqiu added: 'So, you seem to think we're foolish, even stupid, wasting a lot of money... But actually, we didn't spend much at all, and everything was handled by professionals who took care of it for us. In the end, when we calculated our total assets, we still had a slight profit.'"

"Li Yalin was convinced, sighing: 'Compound interest, money begets money... In peacetime, the wealth of these wealthy people is truly eternal...'"

Let me know if you need anything else!

"Upon finishing his words, An Chongqiu couldn't help but chuckle: 'Unlike me, no one else knows how to crack down on cases and has no economic brains at all.'"

An Chongqiu said seriously: "Theoretically speaking, as long as someone from a wealthy family handles their affairs well and doesn't spend money recklessly, even if they only have $1 billion, they can put it in a trust fund and ensure their descendants never lack money to spend."

Li Yalin couldn't help but sigh: "If we could find that grandnephew of yours, wouldn't his net worth increase by three or four hundred billion dollars just like that?"

"Not just that," An Chongqiu said. "When Grandpa's health started declining, he was afraid one day he might lose consciousness and be unable to take care of himself, so he suddenly put in $600 million into that account, making a total of $1 billion, and then changed the terms of the trust fund. The $1 billion principal remained unchanged, all left for my grandnephew, only taking out annual profits and finding someone to handle it. Even with that, the annual profit would be tens of billions of dollars."

"So if we could find my grandnephew, his net worth would increase by $1 billion!"

Li Yalin listened and lit a cigar, slowly puffing on it before sitting up straight, adjusting his collar, and grinning: "Chongqiu, how about I become your grandnephew?"

An Chongqiu was taken aback but quickly regained his composure, laughing: "Go to hell!"

Li Yalin chuckled and said: "Becoming your grandnephew is worth it, $1 billion, following the wealthy people's way of playing, spending until death without exhausting all interest... "

An Chongqiu shook his head, laughing: "I just don't know if I can find my grandnephew. If I really could, I estimate that after so many years, he must have suffered a lot for our family, and this $1 billion is not too much."

As he spoke, An Chongqiu couldn't help but express regret: "It's a pity Grandpa is ill. Even if we saw him again, it might not be recognized. If Grandpa was healthy, I'm afraid he would still find ways to give him some money... Although he rarely speaks, his heart remains true for this grandson-in-law."

"By the way, Grandma also left a lot of money for her grandnephew. If I can find him, I'll give it all to him, although it won't be as much as $1.8 billion."

Li Yalin was already stunned and didn't react much, just jokingly said: "You're going to be my father-in-law, don't you think?"

"That's not the point," An Chongqiu said seriously. "I have always admired my sister, and if I can find her nephew, I'll give him $188 million as a token of goodwill. Ke Feng, Shou Nan, and those three people are probably worth at least 100 million each... Calculating, it's almost 2 billion... "

Li Yalin chuckled and said: "It would be the world's richest person on Forbes list..."

An Chongqiu laughed: "That wouldn't count. If we're talking about the real richest person in the world, the one who's currently ranked number one wouldn't even make it into the top ten."

As he spoke, An Chongqiu let out a sigh and joked to himself: "What's 2 billion anyway? It sounds like a lot when you say it, but at critical moments, not even a single rejuvenation pill can be bought."

Li Yalin smiled mockingly: "It seems like you have a deep grudge against this rejuvenation pill..." JrNovels.com
