Chapter 3033 1 There must be something fishy
As soon as Howard said these words, the entire scene burst into applause!
The Rothschild family members, except Steve and Royce, jumped up and applauded wildly almost at the same time!
Like David Rothschild, he even shed tears of excitement involuntarily!
None of them wanted Howard to abdicate, let alone Steve to succeed.
Maintaining the status quo is their biggest extravagant hope, because maintaining the status quo can ensure that their current vested interests will not be greatly affected. Maybe if they make a great contribution in the future, they will have the opportunity to counterattack and replace Steve and become the new heir.
Originally, they thought that maintaining the status quo was an impossible dream, but unexpectedly, this dream actually came true.
Steve was hopeless at this time. He had already guessed that such a situation would happen, but he didn't expect that his father could talk about it so grandly, which made him very angry.
However, fortunately among misfortunes, the old man has listed himself and his son as the first and second heirs. As a result, his chances of succeeding in the future will be much greater. As long as nothing happens in the middle, In the future, he will definitely be the next patriarch of the Rothschild family.
Howard looked at the reactions of most of his children and grandchildren at this time and felt very satisfied.
When he thought that he would still be able to give orders here in the next few years, he couldn't help but sigh. The 60 billion was actually well spent. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Oh, this man has worked so hard to earn money for nothing." Is it just a few more years of good life? If there is a chance to live to be two hundred years old, what does it matter if half of the family property is given away to others? "
……
Two hours later, Helena returned to Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
Along the way, she was thinking about how she should report to Ye Chen the progress she had made in New York.
Tell the truth? That is impossible.
Because Ye Chen had made an agreement with her before, Helena could take half of the price of the elixir.
This elixir was actually sold for 60 billion US dollars plus an AI model. The AI model was a condition attached by Ye Chen, so it was not within the scope of the share. This also meant that if Ye Chen said it was true, he should get a share. Thirty billion dollars.
But, how could he take away so much money from Ye Chen?
Helena could not convince herself of this point no matter what.
So, after thinking about it, she decided to lie to Ye Chen, report the Rothschild family's 50 billion US dollars deposit to Ye Chen according to the sales volume, and told Ye Chen that the elixir had been bought for 111 billion US dollars, as agreed. , he took 55 billion of it and gave 55 billion to Ye Chen.
In this way, what he actually took away was only 5 billion US dollars.
This is already the highest commission Helena can accept in her heart.
After making up her mind, Helena took out her mobile phone and called Marven.
At this moment, Ye Chen is still on the plane returning to Jinling, which is almost an hour's flight away from Jinling.
Since Wu Feiyan was in the United States, after Ye Chen returned to the United States from Canada, he did not take the more eye-catching Concorde, but took an ordinary business jet, which made the journey back home much longer.
The plane was traveling at a slow speed and had to stop to replenish fuel, so it took more than ten hours to fly and it still hadn't reached its destination.
After receiving the voice call from Helena, Ye Chen guessed that she was announcing the good news to him, so after answering the call, he asked her with a smile: "Helena, have you left New York?"
"Yes." Helena said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, I have returned to Canada and want to call you to report on my experience with the Rothschild family."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "You tell me, I'll listen."
Helena then recounted the entire process of her meeting with Howard to Ye Chen in relatively detail.
When mentioning the price, she lied: "Mr. Ye, the final price that Howard and I reached was that he would pay US$110 billion in cash, plus build a complete AI model in Northern Europe and maintain it for at least twenty years. Update and upgrade.”
"One hundred and ten billion?" Ye Chen couldn't help being a little surprised and said, "You made Howard bleed heavily!"
Helena smiled and said: "Who told him that he was only willing to offer 100 million US dollars at the beginning? If he took the initiative to offer 10 billion US dollars, I might raise it to 20 billion US dollars, which would be about the same. But when he asked for 100 million US dollars, his tone It seemed like I had paid a sky-high price, so I thought I would just stop doing it and give him a hard knock."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "The Rothschild family is as rich as any other country. It won't hurt them to let them shed some blood. Howard probably still thinks it's a good deal."
Helena smiled and said: "In a few years, he will probably be willing to spend 200 billion US dollars to buy a pill."
Ye Chen said: "It depends on his specific performance. If he does not perform well, no pills will be sold to him in the future."
Helena on the other end of the phone said: "By the way, Mr. Ye, when is it convenient for you, give me a bank card and I will remit your part of the money to you."
Ye Chen was just about to agree, but suddenly felt that something was not right.
Based on Helena's character, if this deal really amounts to 111 billion US dollars, she will definitely find various reasons to reduce her own share. If she wants her to take half of it as agreed, it will probably cost a lot. tongue.
But now Helena, without any hesitation, would directly settle the score 50-50 with her. This was very different from her usual behavior, which also made Ye Chen certain that there must be something fishy inside.
Ye Chen speculated in his mind that Helena had most likely lied to him. The actual transaction price should not be as high as 110 billion U.S. dollars. She most likely deliberately reported the price in order to reduce what she deserved. that part of the reward
Thinking of this, he said to Helena: "You can hold this money for me first. I have nothing to use the money for. What's more, I don't have a suitable account for such a large amount of cash."
Ye Chen was worried that Helena would give most of the sales proceeds to him, so he planned not to accept the money until he figured it out.
What's more, he is indeed not short of money now, and has abundant cash flow that cannot be exhausted. He does not need these more than 50 billion US dollars at all. It is better to leave the money in Helena's hands first. On the one hand, it can prevent Helena from Give more. On the other hand, I am afraid that I will inevitably need a large amount of money in Europe and the United States in the future. If the money is in Helena's hands, it will be more convenient to spend in Europe and the United States.
Helena still didn't know Marven's intention and thought that he really didn't have a suitable account to collect the funds, so she asked him: "If you need a secret account, I can help you contact a Swiss bank and ask them to give it to you. Open a high-security account.”
"No need." Ye Chen said with a smile: "Just leave it with you first. I will contact you when I need it."
Helena hesitated for a moment, then agreed and said, "Well, Mr. Ye, I will keep these 55 billion US dollars for you first."
