Chapter: 6160
Howard suddenly stopped in his tracks, regaining his composure, and became aware that he hadn't fulfilled his obligations yet. He smiled apologetically: "Sorry, Your Majesty, I'm really getting carried away, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he immediately said: "The cost of four billion elixirs, five hundred million deposit, nine hundred million dollars - I'll have someone make the payment now, and the funds will be directly transferred to the account specified in the contract, okay?"
Helena nodded: "That's right, Mr. Rockefeller, please arrange it directly."
As she spoke, Helena laughed and said: "Mr. Rockefeller, haven't you noticed that you're no longer stuttering?"
"Yes!" Howard held his empty hand out in front of him, waving it back and forth a few times, exclaiming: "Wow, it's really incredible! This elixir is amazing!"
After a moment of contemplation, he didn't hesitate, but instead pulled out his phone to contact his financial director, instructing them to arrange the transfer payment.
Nine hundred million dollars - placed in any country or institution, this figure would be astronomical. Especially considering such a large sum of cash, it was almost unimaginable.
But to the Rockefeller family, this amount of money meant nothing at all. It was as if they didn't even consider it pocket change.
The Rothschild family's financial strength has long been beyond the reach of ordinary people to estimate and calculate.
Over many years, they have made visible and invisible investments in numerous fields, with all registered offshore companies on the Cayman Islands and Virgin Islands only requiring disclosure when they go public, which means there are countless enterprises controlled by the Rothschild family that are impossible to verify their value.
Even if they are publicly listed companies, they will only disclose shareholder information on the primary market, and through various channels, buy and hold them, making it impossible to track.
Moreover, the Rothschild family has investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, etc. across the globe, which means that as soon as any industry becomes a hotspot, the Rothschild family can reap enormous wealth from it.
During colonial times, Britain was known as the sun never sets empire because they had their own colonies almost everywhere in the world, no matter where the sun shines.
Similarly, the Rothschild family is like an economic version of that empire, with a presence in almost every field that generates revenue around the world, so wherever the winds blow, they will always have a foothold.
Just as AI has experienced explosive development, the Rothschild family has already reaped at least $30 billion from their shareholding in WeWork, not to mention the value generated by their investments in the AI industry.
As for this powerful financial empire, if their assets were fully audited, it is estimated that they could exceed $100 trillion.
So, the 900 million dollars in cash was simply a phone call and a brief instruction from Howard, which transferred the funds secretly to the Norwegian royal family's bank account in Switzerland.
After receiving the notification of the funds being credited, Helena finally let out a sigh.
Just as AI has experienced explosive development, I suddenly recalled Mr. Rothschild's instructions and told Howard, "I must confess to you, sir, that this kind of medicinal herb would be impossible to sell at such a low price even if it were auctioned off. I brought it here to sell to you because I'm very interested in your AI industry, but also because I was moved by the filial piety of your son Steve."
Steve is very good at hitting someone and then giving them a lollipop as a treat, and he would never exclude Helena from this game. He wanted her to make Steve feel happy inside and out while savoring the sweetness in his mouth, so he instructed her not to forget to give Steve some credit.
"Oh?" Howard asked curiously, "Does Steve know that Her Majesty has such a magical medicine?"
Helena shook her head, "That's not it. He only heard that you were very painful after your stroke and was truly concerned about your well-being. I can see that he is genuinely moved by filial piety."
After a pause, Helena said again, "I think every child who shows filial devotion to their parents deserves respect, which is why I brought the medicinal herb to New York to visit you and also to see if we could reach an agreement. It's like saving your life half the time."
Howard was shocked in his heart, unable to imagine that his eldest son would be so concerned about his physical health. He was indeed surprised by this.
After all, I was very excited when my old man was ill and I was even more so now as I still remember it vividly. JrNovels.com
