Chapter 3202: Hold it in hand

Helena actually didn't want to invite Howard to dinner.

Although she knew that Howard had a high status and was extremely powerful, she usually kept her distance from such an old fox.

Inviting Howard to the banquet at the palace was actually Ye Chen's instruction.

Ye Chen felt that Howard was the world's largest financial backer today, and behind him was a multi-trillion dollar financial empire. In addition, the Rothschild family had countless investments in their hands.

Because the Rothschild family is very powerful and has more and better resources to make money, many wealthy people in Europe and the United States, especially many wealthy Jews, will entrust a considerable portion of their funds to the Rothschild family's investment fund management in order to obtain higher and more stable investment returns.

If this part of the funds is also taken into account, the amount of funds Howard can mobilize will be immeasurable.

Since Howard has a huge amount of hot money at his disposal, as long as Helena shows him a little goodwill on behalf of the Nordic royal family, he will definitely use the funds in his hands to repay Helena.

Ye Chen felt that as long as the Nordic royal family could receive special care from Howard, the development of their own strength would be self-evident. More importantly, the influence of the entire Nordic royal family in Northern Europe would reach an unprecedented height.

Helena's support rate in Northern Europe is already very high. If she can continue to attract large amounts of investment to Northern Europe and accelerate the economic development of Northern Europe, people's support for her will also increase.

In Ye Chen's opinion, Helena now has a good opportunity to control Howard. Howard has been waiting to get half of the Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pill after the AI ​​model is delivered. Once Helena makes Howard realize that there is still a chance to get more Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pills from her, he will definitely do his best to work for Helena.

Therefore, Ye Chen asked Helena to take the initiative to invite him to the palace for a banquet and give Howard some hope, so that he could control him.

Howard's attitude and performance indeed confirmed Ye Chen's prediction of him.

He had been eager to show his loyalty to Helena, and his excitement was beyond words when he received Helena's invitation.

Seeing Howard's excitement, Helena smiled and said, "Mr. Rothschild, this is our first cooperation. As the Queen of Northern Europe and the only heir to the Northern European royal family, I will naturally do my best to fulfill all my promises. So when our cooperation is successfully implemented, you will naturally get what you want."

Howard nodded gratefully, not daring to show any more anxiety, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have 100% trust in you, please rest assured, and I will definitely strengthen the cooperation between the Rothschild family and the Nordic royal family in the future, and will also increase our investment in Northern Europe!"

Howard naturally would not be satisfied with just half a pill of the Blood-Removing and Heart-Saving Pill.

In his opinion, since Helena was able to obtain this magical elixir, as long as he maintained a good relationship with her, he would definitely have the opportunity to get more from her in the future.

Helena knew what Howard was planning, but she also knew in her heart that whether Howard could continue to get more pills depended on whether he could satisfy Ye Chen.

At this time, Ye Chen's attention was not on Howard at all. The four of them stopped whispering and came to the central console where the technicians from both sides were connected. They listened to them communicating about professional issues while demonstrating the operation of the Ai model. Although Ye Chen did not understand, he listened very carefully because he knew that this represented the current top advanced productivity and the future development direction.

The night comes early in Northern Europe. At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was already pitch black outside. Helena invited Howard to a banquet at the palace, so she left the data center and returned to the palace to prepare. Howard also left first and returned to the hotel to pack up his clothes before going to the palace with his son Steve.

Ye Chen and his three companions disguised themselves as technicians, so they naturally couldn't go back with Helena directly. Moreover, they had no other plans in the evening, so they simply stayed on the scene to observe and learn.

When Howard returned to the hotel, he went straight to the room where his son Steve was.

Steve was smoking a cigar in the huge room at the moment. He had just returned to the United States two days ago, and then he was dragged to Northern Europe by his grandfather.

The key point is that the old man brought him here and let him stay in the hotel doing nothing, and he never took him with him when he went out to do business.

This made Steve very depressed, and he also figured out his father's intention to bring him to Northern Europe. His father didn't need his company or his help, and he brought him here simply because he didn't want him to stay alone in the United States.

Realizing this, Steve knew very well that he would not be able to stay in the United States for a long time in the future, because he was already a threat in his father's eyes. So the most sensible thing to do was to go abroad as much as possible and make sure that at least half of the time each year was not in the United States, so that his father could rest assured.

Steve understood one thing: since he was the "crown prince" and it was impossible for him to successfully usurp the throne, the best choice was to do everything according to his father's wishes, and even take the initiative to do things that his father wanted him to do but was too embarrassed to ask for. Only in this way could he let down his guard and not feel disgusted with him.

As long as I can achieve this and maintain it for a long time, my position as the heir will not be shaken. My father will have to hand over the throne sooner or later. As long as I continue to satisfy him, when the day comes that he is no longer able to serve as the head of the family, I will be able to take the position smoothly.

After figuring this out, Steve was a little depressed, but then he thought, he could just tell his father and say that he planned to go out and gain some experience. On the one hand, this would reassure his father, and on the other hand, he could go to China to find Ye Chen and get close to him.

Next, it depends on whether my father will agree to let me go to China after I ask him to let me go out to gain experience.

Just then, Steve heard the doorbell. He came to the door in his bathrobe and took a look through the indoor monitor. He found that it was his father standing outside the door. He quickly opened the door and said respectfully, "Dad, when did you come back?"

Howard said, "I came to see you right after I got back."

Howard looked him up and down and said, "Steve, hurry up and take a shower, change into formal clothes, and come with me to the Nordic royal family for a banquet tonight. The Nordic Queen is going to host us."

Steve was not surprised to hear that the Nordic Queen wanted to invite the father and son to dinner. He knew very well that the Nordic Queen was Ye Chen's white glove, and it must have been Ye Chen's idea to invite them to dinner.

So, he deliberately asked: "Father, are you coming to Northern Europe this time to plan to cooperate deeply with the Nordic royal family?"

"I guess so." Howard nodded and said casually, "Nordic still has great development prospects. What's more, I also hope to deepen cooperation with the royal family. Maybe there will be a chance to marry them in the future."

Steve thought to himself: "Marriage? You are kidding. You are not thinking of marriage at all."

However, he didn't say much. After nodding, he said to Howard: "Father, I have an idea and I hope you can support it."

Howard asked curiously, "What do you think? Just tell me."

Steve said very sincerely, "Father, I have rarely left the United States in the past few years. I feel that I don't know enough about the world situation. In the future, I want to spend at least half of my time every year to go abroad to gain more experience. In this way, I may not be able to take care of American affairs, so you and other family members will have to take care of it. I wonder if you agree?"
