Everyone was even more surprised at this time.Were these two cars really heading for the banquet hall?There was only one family who would be holding a wedding in the banquet hall today. Could they really be here for the wedding?However, every member of the Scotson family understood very well in their hearts. In the entire Scotson family, Draco’s father was indeed the wealthiest amongst them. However, he only had about tens of millions of dollars’ worth of assets. As for the others, they would probably have about ten million dollars, and those who were not so well off would probably have about a few million dollars’ worth of assets. At most, they could only be regarded as part of the middle class in Aurous Hill and they could not be regarded as being part of the upper class at all.So, given their family social status, how could they possibly have such a powerful friend?As everyone was still feeling puzzled, Charlie took the initiative to open the car door of the Bugatti Veyron

Just as everyone from the Scotson family was dumbfounded, Claire also got out from the Aston Martin’s driver seat.Claire looked at Draco before she smiled politely and said, “Draco, we’ve not seen each other for quite some time already. Congratulations to you and Magnolia! I hope that the two of you will have a happy marriage!”Draco was also shocked when he saw Claire.Claire was Magnolia’s high school classmate who was also one of Magnolia’s close friends. Therefore, he had already met Claire several times because of Magnolia and they could both be considered acquaintances.Moreover, Draco had already heard of Claire’s family situation before. He heard that Claire’s family had a company specializing in renovation and refurbishment works. However, it was just a small company and not a large scale company. She had also married a live-in son-in-law and it seemed as though the live-in son-in-law was not very capable at all.However, in his mind, Wilson Group was just a company with

Charlie glanced at Turk contemptuously before he said disdainfully, “You can just call me Young Master Wade.”Turk was a little surprised. What era was this? Why were there still people who referred to themselves as young masters nowadays?Could it be that he was a young master who was from a very strong, powerful, and large family background?If this was the case, then he would have truly encountered a very formidable man! So, Turk was very excited as he said, “Oh, Young Master Wade, my family is in the flour business. We own a flour mill in Aurous Hill. Perhaps you’ve tried the flour produced by our family before. Our flour brand is called ‘The Golden Family’.”Charlie frowned and asked, “The Golden Family? Isn’t that the name of that television series?”Turk felt a little embarrassed as he replied, “Well, we’re just trying to take advantage of the craze. The television drama is focused on gold powder, but our family is producing flour instead. I think there isn’t a big differ

Lilian was a typical egoist.No matter what it was, she would only consider one thing, and that was whether it would bring any benefit to herself at all.If anyone could bring any benefits to herself, even if it was a garbage collector on the side of the road, she would welcome him with a smile on her face and a welcoming gesture.However, if the other party would not be able to bring any benefits to her at all, she would not be bothered to give him face, even if he was the president of the United States.So, even if Charlie and his wife were both driving top luxury cars that were worth more than one hundred million dollars to marry Magnolia off, this did not change Lilian’s opinion of Magnolia at all.She knew that giving face was a very superficial thing and that only benefits that could be physically obtained were real.So, what if Magnolia had a very wealthy and powerful friend? Would she be able to get him to even give them a single cent of his money? Would she be able to ta

When Magnolia heard Lilian’s words, tears started flowing down her cheeks immediately.When Draco saw his fiancée getting reprimanded and humiliated by his own mother, he could not tolerate it any longer. Therefore, he hurriedly said, “Mom! Magnolia and I will be spending the rest of our lives together after we get married. We don’t care about anything else as long as the both of us can live well and happily together. So, you shouldn’t mind it too much too. It isn’t early anymore. Can we just prepare to proceed with the wedding now?”“No way!” Lilian looked at Magnolia with disgust before she said contemptuously, “I can’t get over the anger I’m feeling right now. Ever since I got married to your father, I’ve never suffered such a huge grievance in my life. Her family is obviously the one benefitting and climbing up the social ladder after she marries you. So, why does it seem as though we’re the one who would be benefiting from this marriage instead? Your father and I have already be

Lilian had always disagreed with her son and Magnolia’s marriage.However, the reason why she had agreed to hold the wedding today was because she wanted to wash her hands of it as much as she could.Therefore, she decided to embarrass and humiliate Magnolia and her family today. She wanted to make it seem as though she was unable to lift her head up high in front of her relatives and friends because of Magnolia’s parents today. With this alone, she would be able to stand on the moral high ground and refuse to allow Magnolia to marry into her family today.This was also representative of what smart parents would do in their daily lives.Smart parents would never give their children an ultimatum whenever they had some kind of dispute with their children.If they made a resolute decision to reject their child’s decision without a doubt, then if their child could not get over the matter or pass the hurdle in the future, then the child would definitely blame or hate his parents in fut

There were two relatively large sales channels for his flour. One was the large supermarkets, such as Carrefour and Walmart. The other was through the medium-sized chain supermarkets such as the supermarkets owned by the Morningstar family.The flour mill industry had relatively low technology content and there was also fierce competition.There were many big grain and oil brands such as Bertolli and Adolphus in Oskia. Their brands were relatively strong and so, their products were also selling relatively well.Moreover, there were also at least a few other local flour brands in every city.So, a small brand like his own would only be able to generate a certain amount of sales locally and his sales were very dependent on the sales channels.If the sales channels gave him more display positions and bought more of his goods, then he would be able to make more money.However, if the sales channels did not give him any display positions or buy any of his goods, then he would not be a

Lilian felt very lost and confused at this time.The thirty million dollar dowry was certainly very attractive. However, the main point was that she would have to ask her son to marry a pregnant woman.Wasn’t this what people would often refer to as fathering someone else’s child?Although she was not a young person anymore, she still had some understanding of these buzzwords.However, when she thought about the fact that Mr. Morningstar had already offered a thirty million dowry and that he was also offering various resources to support their family, then Lilian began to look forward to it deep within her heart.In her opinion, as long as he was willing to give them a lot of money, then it would not be a big problem for her son to father someone else’s child.However, the crucial point of this matter was that it would be easy for her to explain things to her relatives and friends if the other party was pregnant with an Oskian child. She could just tell her relatives and friends

Helena waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to. As you mentioned, procuring the hardware for the AI models comes with its own costs. I'd rather take a loss myself than let you suffer. After all, you're already of such an age, and having had a stroke once before. If you end up losing something and it affects your mood, leading to a relapse, wouldn't that make me the bad guy?" "No, no, no!" Harrison, ignoring the subtle mockery, hurried over to Helena with great urgency and reassured, almost desperately, "Buying the hardware for Your Majesty is something we should do. Please accept it." As he said it, he lamented with regret, "Your Highness, I'm old, and my mindset is molded in the conservative mode because of decades of experience, and bargaining is one of them. Nevertheless, please rest assured that we will never again bargain when doing business with you." After experiencing the powerful effect of the Healing Pill, Harrison keenly realized that the pill must be a life-sa

Harrison immediately caught the implication in her words and, with a smile, said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a brilliant negotiator. I've never seen someone so young yet able to control the pace of negotiations so skillfully! With you at the helm, the Nordic royal family is sure to soar to new heights!" Helena smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I can control the rhythm well because I have a good mentor." "I wonder who your mentor is?" Harrison asked curiously. "I would like to meet him if there is a chance." Helena said lightly, "My mentor prefers to act with a low profile and isn't fond of the vanity that comes with fame, but I believe that you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." "That would be wonderful!" Harrison replied with a beam. Helena then said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Harrison nodded. As he saw Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called after her, "Hold on, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Mr. Roths

Seeing Harrison with his head down in deep thought, Helena knew he definitely wouldn't follow the original plan to pass the position of family head to Julien. Sure enough, Harrison lifted his head with a chuckle and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to New York and attend my family meeting to establish the heir. Your presence truly brings us great honor!" Feigning a surprised expression, Helena asked, "Aren't we going to announce Julien's succession today? Why have you changed your mind?" Harrison waved her off and, with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes always outpace plans. Until this morning, I never imagined I could regain my health. Don't you think so?" Helena smiled slightly. "Your recovery is partly due to Julien's devotion, which seems to have touched God himself." Despite what she said, she couldn't help mumbling under her breath, "Harrison really did change his mind,

The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em

Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.

Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b

Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi

Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ

Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
