Chapter: 6521

Therefore, he told Steve: "After we return to the United States, I will call a family meeting, and at that time, I will announce your decision on the spot. You should also explain it well to others and set an example."

Steve replied without hesitation: "Don't worry, Father! I'm fine!"

Howard nodded and asked, "Okay Steve, if you're going to go abroad for experience, which country do you want to go to?"

Steve's only goal was China, but he didn't want to reveal it too directly, so he thought for a moment and said, "Father, my idea is that the market worth exploring deeply is Europe and Asia, excluding Africa, Oceania, and South America."

"That's true," Howard agreed. "Except for the United States, the countries ranked second to eighth in the world are all in Asia and Europe. Africa doesn't even have a country that can rank among the top thirty. As the heir of the Rockefeller family, you naturally want to choose a market that ranks second only to the domestic US market."

Steve hurriedly said, "If that's the case, then China is most suitable, after all it's the world's second-largest economy."

"Ah!" Howard nodded and opened his mouth. "China's development speed and potential are unparalleled. We can assign our second-in-command to China and have you take charge, which will also showcase our emphasis on the Chinese market. It might even help our business in China grow significantly!"

Steve immediately took over the conversation and said, "Father, since you've said that, I'll go to China! Before we established a family office in Asia, we placed it in Singapore. I think we can set up a new one on the Chinese mainland and have me take direct responsibility."

Howard didn't hesitate and agreed promptly. "No problem, let's give you full authority over this. After the family office is established, we'll provide you with an exclusive 500 billion US dollars to develop our business in China! This amount will also be yours to decide!"

Howard was extremely fond of his son at this moment. As long as Steve didn't want to take over his own position, he could let him manage all the family offices overseas.

As for the 500 billion US dollars, it wasn't a big deal for the Rockefeller family. Howard had already planned ahead and would use 250 billion from the family's responsible fund management. In other words, they would give Steve 250 billion to invest, and when he makes a profit, they would divide the total revenue by 25% among all investors. If he loses money, it would be shared equally among them, with each investor bearing only a 1% loss.

The investors were extremely savvy, with numerous projects that had both made profits and losses but still yielded a relatively good overall return rate. The 250 billion US dollars would be distributed evenly among each investor, so even if there was a loss, it would be no more than 1% for each investor, and they wouldn't mind.

Steve's heart was also very thrilled, and the $500 billion was already a huge amount. He thought that this time his father must be very pleased with him, giving him a start-up fund like an ancient emperor sending his son out to govern a region. By then, he would be at ease in America as the head of his own family, while his father would be far away, high and mighty, allowing him to get close to Ye Chen and lay the foundation for future household management, so that they would both be content with their respective situations.

So, he exclaimed loudly: "Father, don't worry, I'll definitely not disappoint your expectations! I'll throw my whole effort into making our business in China a huge success!"

The Rockefeller father-son duo, each satisfied with the other's understanding, chatted extremely happily as they headed to the palace.

Howard looked more and more pleased with Steve, constantly feeling grateful that he had given birth to such a responsible and filial good son. Steve also gained his father's approval, and his mood became even better without any worries, just eagerly looking forward to quickly switching positions and getting closer to Ye Chen.

Steve thought that going to China would definitely be of great benefit with no harm at all, even if he couldn't win Ye Chen's support in inheriting the family business. He also had hope that he could rely on kneeling and begging to get some benefits from Ye Chen, so it was much stronger than staying in America under his grandfather's watchful eyes.

As a result, the father-son duo each harbored their own thoughts, yet allowed the emotions between them to return to the harmonious state they had when Steve was young.

When they arrived at the palace, the royal guards were already waiting on both sides of the road inside the palace, knowing that Howard would surely appreciate a dignified reception.

Howard looked at Helena and said with gratitude, "Your Majesty, thank you for your kind invitation. Being able to come to the palace and have dinner with you and Mrs. Iliaet is a great honor for our Roschilde family!"

Helena smiled and said, "Mr. Roschilde, please don't be too polite. You are esteemed guests of the North European royal court, just like being at home. There's no need to be too formal."

She then said, "You two, dinner is still being prepared. It will start in about an hour. Let me take you on a tour of the palace first."

Howard exclaimed, "That would be wonderful! Having Your Majesty herself accompany us on this tour is truly an honor beyond words!"

Helena nodded lightly and smiled graciously before leading Howard and his son to begin the tour from the main hall.

In reality, Helena was releasing good intentions towards Howard. Ye Chen wanted to squeeze value out of both Howard and Steve, so naturally, he wouldn't be stingy with face or benefits. JrNovels.com
