Chapter 2990: Daydreaming

Howard originally thought that one hundred million US dollars was already an astronomical figure, and that offering this price was enough to demonstrate his sincerity.

But how could he have expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, would be too lazy to even negotiate the price and would turn around to leave.

He had just felt the tangible efficacy of the medicine. One-tenth had such an effect, so taking a whole pill would inevitably allow him to recover as before. How could he give up this once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity?

So he hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty the Queen... whatever the matter is, we... we can discuss it... but you turn around and leave, this... why is this?"

Helena said indifferently, "Mr. Rothschild, I have never liked to discuss cooperation with people who don't understand the situation. In Mr. Howard's view, his own health is only worth one hundred million US dollars. Then, forgive me for speaking bluntly, what else is there for me to talk to you about? Compared to you, although I don't have much money, in my view, my own health certainly cannot be measured by such a small amount of money, right?"

Howard was instantly speechless.

He did not expect Helena to elevate the issue of pricing to the level of net worth.

Looking at it this way, is it reasonable for those with more money to spend more money?

With his trillion-dollar net worth, how can this be discussed? Should he just give her three or five hundred billion?

At this time, Helena remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, I received a piece of news today. The family of the racing king is auctioning his private cars to pay for the racing king's medical expenses. It is said that since the racing king has been in a coma for these years, his family has already paid hundreds of millions of euros in medical expenses for him. I'll use a somewhat inappropriate analogy: if it were you, Mr. Howard, in a coma in bed, would your family only pay one hundred million US dollars in medical expenses for you? Or, do you only hope they pay one hundred million US dollars for you?"

"This..." Howard's face felt burning hot.

For one thing, he indeed realized that his offer just now was a bit stingy.

For another, he did not expect Helena to speak so directly, which really did not leave him half a face.

Therefore, he could only say humbly, "Your Majesty the Queen... if you feel the price... the price is too low... you can directly open a price..."

Helena said indifferently, "Mr. Rothschild, before I open a price, I hope you can understand that the reason I brought this pill here is to save you from fire and water. Since it is to save you from fire and water, we must refer to how much your net worth is actually worth when in fire and water."

As she spoke, Helena added, "I believe only you know Mr. Howard's current situation best. A stroke not only affects your actions, your language, and your quality of life, but also affects the role you play in the entire Rothschild family. Recovering your health, you can postpone the decision to hand over the family head position to Steve today and continue to exert your remaining energy in the role of family head. But losing your health, you will lose everything."

Upon hearing this, Howard knew that if he wanted to get this pill today, he had to be prepared for a major hemorrhage. Saving money was simply out of the question.

Therefore, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty the Queen... I understand... everything you said... so... so please, Your Majesty the Queen, directly... directly give me a... a clearly marked price!"

Helena nodded and said coldly and directly, "One hundred billion US dollars."

Howard's eyes widened, "How... how much?!"

Helena repeated again, "I said, one hundred billion US dollars."

Howard blurted out, "This... this is too outrageous... one hundred billion... one hundred billion US dollars can build the United States... build the United States a most advanced aircraft carrier battle group, and... maintain its operation for at least two years..."

Helena nodded and smiled, "That's right, one hundred billion US dollars can not only build the most advanced aircraft carrier battle group but also send humans to Mars and bring them back. Maybe it can even build a Disneyland on the moon."

Speaking of this, Helena asked back, "However, what significance does a Disneyland on the moon have for you? One hundred billion US dollars spent in these places can buy everything, but it alone cannot buy back your health."

After speaking, Helena added, "Actually, if Mr. Rothschild can sacrifice himself for the family, then you can completely save this money and let this money play a greater role in the future development of this family. By that time, maybe your descendants will build a monument for you to commemorate you."

Howard felt a pain in his liver. While covering his abdomen, he waved his hand and said, "Don't... don't say anymore... since it's a transaction... you can open a price... then... then I can bargain. Then let me say a... a price that is one step in place."

After speaking, he stretched out five fingers and said firmly, "Fifty billion US dollars! No more! If it's more, even if my body recovers, my heart will be depressed. Thinking of spending hundreds of billions of US dollars like this, I'm afraid my old age will not be happy..."

Spending hundreds of billions of US dollars just to buy a pill, Howard was really hurting.

Some people are poor and generous.

But some people become stingier when they have money.

Some people think that health is hard to buy with a thousand gold.

Some people feel that when health is too expensive, they simply don't want it.

Howard's thought can be said to be half and half, half true and half false.

The false part is that he actually longs to recover his health. After all, he has been wise for a lifetime, and finally having a stroke and becoming like this, the gap is too big.

But the true part is that he really cannot accept spending one hundred billion US dollars to buy health.

Damn, a stroke won't kill him. Compared to lying in bed and jumping around, the latter costs an extra one hundred billion US dollars. At this time, he can't help but think that lying in bed can at least save one hundred billion.

Helena actually didn't really want so much of his money.

According to Ye Chen's psychological price, ten or twenty billion US dollars was already very good. After all, their main purpose was not to make money, but to manipulate Howard and his son Steve.

And now Ye Chen had added a new requirement, which was the AI model mastered by the Rothschild family. So, the psychological price for her coming today was actually ten billion US dollars, plus a set of AI models. As long as this condition could be met, it could be considered a success.

However, she also knew that Ye Chen was just a hands-off boss who handed these things to her, but she must not communicate with Howard according to his bottom line. She must strive for more benefits for Ye Chen as much as possible.

Therefore, she looked at Howard and said calmly, "Mr. Rothschild, let's not speak in riddles. What I want is not just cash, but also the AI model invested in by your Rothschild family;"

"So, my final offer is this: 50 billion US dollars in cash, plus a 100% replica of that model!"

"You must let your team go to the Nordic countries to build an identical AI model for me, from hardware to software, no difference is allowed, and I require you to do synchronous updates and upgrades for me;"

"That is to say, whatever version your set in Silicon Valley is upgraded to, my set in the Nordic countries must be synchronously upgraded to this version, and the delay must not exceed one hour;"

"Moreover, all knowledge bases in the AI model must also be completely synchronized:"

"And, you must maintain this system for me, and you are not allowed to stop maintenance for any reason within the next 20 years."

Upon hearing this, Howard became anxious and blurted out, "That AI model... now... now it has been favored by the US Department of Defense... its commercial... commercial application prospects are also... also very broad... the future valuation space is not lower than one hundred billion US dollars, and combined with other industries... organically... organically combined, the added value is probably... probably even more immeasurable... Your Majesty the Queen, this... is simply... daydreaming!" ===== CHAPTER 2991 =====
