Chapter: 6539
After Helena turned the elixir into a warm flow that entered her abdomen, she felt the drug's effects while feigning doubt and asking Howard: "What's wrong, Mr. Rosencrantz? You're so shocked?"
Howard saw that Helena had already consumed the entire elixir, his heart pained and he said sorrowfully: "Your Majesty... you... you how did you eat half of that elixir..."
Helena was perplexed: "What's wrong? I bought only half of it, and what problem is there if I ate the other half myself? Does eating my own elixir have something wrong with it?"
Howard realized he had overstepped himself and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I didn't mean that... I just feel that you're so young and healthy, consuming this kind of elixir is a waste..."
Just then, Howard felt that the word "waste" was not quite right, hastily changing his tone: "Your Majesty... I'm not saying that... I'm just hoping to buy half of it too... and I'm willing to pay five hundred billion dollars or more... but you've already devoured the entire elixir so casually..."
Helena smiled and nodded her head, saying: "I didn't think about all this when I took it... after all, you bought only half of it, and I don't feel like putting it back, so I just ate it."
After that, Helena looked at Howard's devastated face again and said: "Besides, Mr. Rosencrantz, don't forget my promise - I'm giving you the right to buy half of the blood-stopping elixir, not one entire pellet... even if you pay five hundred billion dollars more, this half is still mine, and I won't sell it to you."
"Why?" Howard, looking like a child who's been wronged, unconsciously said: "Your Majesty, you're saying this elixir isn't yours? You help someone else sell me half of it, take back the other half for its owner... but you wouldn't even sell it to me for five hundred billion dollars or more... don't five hundred billion dollars mean anything in your eyes?"
Helena smiled and said: "When a person's life has higher pursuits, money is just a number anyway. My future life may not be able to spend even 5 billion dollars, let alone 50 billion, at that time what significance does 50 billion have?"
Howard was taken aback for a moment, unable to understand why Helena wouldn't put even 500 million in her eyes, did she really have someone who didn't love money?
Even if it's oneself, having unlimited wealth and still not being satisfied, hoping to create higher peaks in life, as the queen of North Europe, doesn't 50 billion dollars mean anything to her?
Howard was at a loss for words this time, unable to hold back asking Helena: "Your Majesty, do you have any more elixir left? If so, can you sell some extra to me?"
Helena nodded calmly and said: "I definitely still have the elixir, but I won't be able to sell it to you for a while. I'll wait to see your performance."
Howard hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as there is elixir left to sell, I'm willing to go through fire and water for you!"
Helena smiled: "Then I'll be waiting to see your performance. If it's good, not just one pellet but even two wouldn't be a problem."
Howard didn't realize Helena was giving him a pie-in-the-sky assurance. Hearing this, he seemed to have received an extremely important guarantee and suddenly felt overjoyed. He had always been afraid that the elixir was limited in quantity, selling one pellet at a time would mean there wouldn't be any left for when he needed it again...
Meanwhile, Howard's son Steve was standing in front of Helena with a puzzled expression.
A few minutes ago, Leaf told him about his requirements and asked him to buy out the largest private remote sensing satellite company in the US.
Although Steve didn't know what Leaf wanted to do with this kind of company, he could probably guess that it was for Leaf's own use. So, he asked: "Mr. Leaf, will you be directly responsible for the company after it is bought?"
Leaf waved his hand: "After you achieve control, get rid of as many shareholders as possible on the board, and once others have all exited, designate a professional person to take charge of the daily operations of this company. The specific person I'll designate will decide, and when that time comes, I'll prepare the data for you to announce it to the outside world."
Leaf wanted to buy out the remote sensing satellite company, but if he really bought it, the FBI and homeland security might conduct a series of reviews that would instantly strip this company of all its advantages.
So Leaf thought it would be better for Steve to act as a white glove holder to hold this company, with daily operations involving updating global satellite maps. Whoever buys this company can obtain the clearest and most up-to-date global satellite maps in civilian domains, which would perfectly match the continuous provision of satellite maps for AI to further improve its databases.
Moreover, Leaf specified someone to take charge, meaning that whoever he designated could, at his request, instruct people to adjust the satellite state according to requirements, conduct close monitoring on a specific location.
Steve nodded immediately after hearing Leaf's requirements and bowed respectfully: "No problem, Mr. Leaf. This kind of thing can be done for tens of billions of dollars. You can rest assured that I'll take care of it."
Leaf nodded: "How much money is needed to buy out the company? I'll cover the cost myself; you just need to use your influence to help me resolve all policy-related hidden dangers." JrNovels.com
