Chapter 2991: I Am Quite Generous

Seeing that Howard was somewhat annoyed and ashamed, Helena was not angry, just said indifferently, "Mr. Rothschild, don't be angry yet. I have one more additional condition that I haven't finished saying;"

Pausing, Helena continued, "I want this model of yours for my own use, and I will not conduct any commercial use. That is to say, it will not have any impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than sending a copy, giving me a set of hardware, and giving me twenty years of maintenance fees. This cost shouldn't be much, right?"

Howard asked coldly, "How can I be sure... you won't... won't use it for commercial purposes?"

Helena smiled, "This is the specific detail I am about to say. You still pay me one hundred billion US dollars, but I will sign a contract with you, agreeing that fifty billion US dollars of this will be returned to the Rothschild family in the amount of 2.5 billion US dollars per year over the next twenty years;"

"If you stop the upgrade and maintenance for me in the middle, I will stop the subsequent return of this money;"

"If I take your AI model for commercial use, you can immediately stop the upgrade and maintenance, and sue the Nordic royal family in court to claim the full refund of fifty billion US dollars;"

"All our cooperation, as long as an agreement is reached, will be written into the contract and will be protected by law."

Howard said angrily, "Oh, I give you one hundred billion US dollars, and then you turn around and put it into a trust. Looking at the median return rate of the US financial market today, the annual interest is at least several billion US dollars!"

"And once compound interest is calculated, this is even more of an astronomical figure. Isn't this borrowing a chicken to lay eggs? Borrowing my chicken to lay eggs for twenty years, and then returning the chicken to me. Where can I find the eggs of these twenty years?"

Helena said generously, "How about this, you still give me one hundred billion US dollars, and the interest generated by fifty billion US dollars each year, I will return every penny to you;"

"In the first year, I will calculate the interest actually generated by fifty billion US dollars and return it to you. While returning 2.5 billion US dollars of principal, this part of the interest will also be returned to you;"

"In the second year, I will calculate the interest actually generated by 47.5 billion US dollars, return another 2.5 billion US dollars of principal, and so on, until the twenty-year contract is fulfilled."

Speaking of this, Helena smiled, "The chicken is mortgaged to me for twenty years. All the eggs laid in these twenty years belong to you, and the chicken itself will be returned to you gradually over twenty years. Is this fair enough?"

Hearing this, Howard felt a little more comfortable in his heart.

However, thinking that the pill alone cost fifty billion US dollars, he still felt a dull pain.

Just then, Howard suddenly exclaimed, "I forgot one thing! The hardware of the AI model... is very expensive! Most of the cost is based on... based on the hardware produced by Nvidia! Nvidia's stock price has risen rapidly, just... just because AI is hot... so... so the hardware price is rising straight up! Maybe this set of models... will... will cost billions of US dollars in hardware costs..."

Helena smiled, "It doesn't matter. If you care about this cost, I will let you off another ten billion US dollars. I am quite generous."

Hearing this, Howard felt a bit embarrassed. She knew that Helena saying this was also secretly mocking him.

Then, Helena added, "Mr. Rothschild, actually, almost all of the major institutions among Nvidia's major shareholders have the participation of your Rothschild family, and you also hold a lot of circulating shares in the secondary market. Moreover, you got these shares very early, and the chips are very low. In the process of Nvidia's stock price soaring to more than one trillion US dollars, you have long made a fortune;"

Howard had just received a concession of ten billion, and felt much better. Now hearing Helena expose his old bottom, he hurriedly explained, "Everyone is talking business... we... we have made... made a lot of money from Nvidia... that cannot be... be confused with this matter... Your Majesty the Queen, don't you think?"

"Right." Helena nodded and said, "However, I let you off ten billion US dollars in hardware costs, which has something to do with Nvidia. You will definitely go to Nvidia to purchase the hardware for this AI model of mine by then. You are a shareholder of Nvidia. You go to Nvidia to make a large-scale purchase, which in itself is to some extent equivalent to the left hand pouring to the right hand;"

"First, even if the cost of the external quotation needs ten billion, your actual purchase won't cost that much;"

"Second, you are a shareholder of Nvidia, so you still have a share of the profit from this order;"

"Third, this order will definitely promote the increase in Nvidia's sales and stock price. When the stock price rises, you can still profit from it. You can profit from the valuation through the shares held by institutions, and you can profit directly from the circulating shares you hold in the secondary market. In any link of the US market, you can make money. After the final calculation, your actual cost might not even be 10% of ten billion."

Speaking of this, Helena concluded, "I won't calculate the specific cost with you. My final offer now is forty billion US dollars, plus a set of AI models with twenty years of free upgrades and maintenance. If you think there is no problem, we can sign the agreement now."

After speaking, Helena took out several printed contracts, handed them to Howard, and said, "The contract template is already out. Just write the specific amount of money into it and write the terms of the agreed interest repayment into it. If Mr. Rothschild is interested, we will proceed. If not, I will go back first."

Upon hearing this, Howard knew that Helena had done enough preparation and homework before coming.

The facts were indeed as she said. The Rothschild family itself controlled Nvidia's shares through multiple institutions and individuals, and held a large number of circulating shares in the secondary market. They had long harvested a huge amount of profit from Nvidia. The ten billion Helena let off indeed left a lot of room for operation for the Rothschild family.

Although Howard didn't care about this little money, now that he was being slaughtered as a big head, he naturally wanted to be slaughtered a little less.

Therefore, after hesitating again and again, for the sake of his health and status, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Just as... just as Your Majesty the Queen said... forty billion US dollars... plus... plus a set of non-commercial... AI models!"

After speaking, he asked somewhat hesitantly, "Your... Your Majesty the Queen, if this pill... cannot cure my illness... then what?"

Helena said very confidently, "Impossible, it will certainly cure you."

After speaking, Helena smiled slightly and added, "If Mr. Rothschild feels uneasy, we can sign the agreement first. You don't have to pay yet. Take the pill, and after confirming it is effective, then arrange the payment."

Upon hearing this, Howard completely dispelled all concerns and agreed without hesitation, "No problem! Just... just follow what Your Majesty the Queen said!"

Helena nodded, took out her mobile phone, and smiled, "However, to prevent Mr. Rothschild from reneging, from now on, until we complete the signing and you take the pill, I must record it with my mobile phone and synchronize it to my subordinates in real-time. Mr. Rothschild cannot leave all the risks to me. In case you recover after taking the pill and then turn your face and refuse to acknowledge it, I have nothing to do with you."

Howard said hurriedly, "Your Majesty the Queen, rest assured... I... I am impossible to renege on the debt... but... but since Your Majesty the Queen is uneasy, then keeping a... keeping a record is also good!" ===== CHAPTER 2992 =====
