Chapter 2992: Beat Him Up First, Then Give Him a Candy

Since both sides reached a consensus, Helena took out a pen and perfected the details of the contract.

With mobile phone recording throughout the process, plus Helena's status as the Nordic Queen and her super high traffic on the Internet, she was not worried at all that Howard would dare to go back on his word.

After both sides confirmed the terms of the contract, Howard wrote his name on the contract, and then both sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially effective.

After everything was done, Helena put away the contract, turned off the mobile phone recording, and said, "Mr. Rothschild, happy cooperation!"

Howard asked her hurriedly, "Your Majesty the Queen... now... now can you give me the pill?"

"Of course." Helena handed the pill to him without hesitation and said, "Although our Nordic royal family doesn't have much money, we have always attached great importance to the spirit of contract."

Howard reached out and took the pill tremblingly. Just as he was about to ask Helena how to take it, Helena spoke first, "Just eat it directly."

Hearing this, Howard did not have any hesitation anymore and patted the pill into his mouth directly.

Instantly, the pill turned into a heat flow several times stronger than before in his mouth and flowed rapidly into his abdomen.

Howard felt as if he were a deflated balloon being rapidly filled with gas. He, who could only lie half-reclined on the head of the bed, immediately felt that his body possessed strength again, and this feeling of strength was much greater than before.

With a little effort, Howard sat up directly from the bed, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that his body no longer had any twitching or shaking.

Extremely excited, he hurriedly tried to walk on the ground. As a result, the strength of his legs and the stability of his body were stronger than he expected.

He, who had not had a stroke originally, was already relatively weak. Although he didn't need a cane to walk, he was also stumbling. But now, he tried to walk a few steps. It couldn't be said that he was walking like flying, but at least he was much steadier. The strength of his legs stepping out and the support after landing had both improved greatly.

Recalling the cowardly feeling of having a stroke in bed, Howard wished he could look up to the sky and laugh "Huo Huo Ha Ha, Yi Ha Ha Ha" on the spot!

Walking several laps in the spacious and super-large hospital ward, Howard couldn't bear to stop, but instead became more excited and agitated as he walked.

Helena was dizzy from him shaking back and forth in front of her eyes, so she said, "That's enough, Mr. Rothschild. Don't walk anymore. You haven't paid yet."

Howard was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, realizing that he hadn't fulfilled the contract, so he smiled somewhat apologetically, "Sorry, Your Majesty the Queen, I was really a bit excited, please forgive me!"

As he said this, he immediately said, "Forty billion for the pill, fifty billion for the deposit, ninety billion US dollars. I will arrange for payment immediately. The money will be transferred directly to the account on the contract, right?"

Helena nodded, "That's right, please arrange it directly, Mr. Rothschild."

As she said this, Helena smiled and said, "Has Mr. Rothschild discovered that you no longer stutter?"

"Oh, right!" Howard shook his right hand in front of him in the air and marveled, "Amazing, truly amazing! This pill is really magical!"

After a sigh, he didn't delay and contacted his chief financial officer directly with his mobile phone to arrange the transfer and payment.

Ninety billion US dollars is an astronomical figure in any country or group, especially such a large amount of cash, which is simply unimaginable.

But for the Rothschild family, this little money is nothing, not even pocket money.

The financial power of the Rothschild family has long been beyond the estimation and calculation of outsiders.

For so many years, they have had explicit and implicit investments in countless fields. As long as all offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the Virgin Islands have not gone public, they do not need to disclose shareholder information. Inside, there are a large number of companies held or even controlled by the Rothschild family. How much they are worth is impossible to verify.

And even for listed companies, shareholder information is only disclosed in the primary market. Buying and holding through various channels in the secondary market simply cannot be counted.

Moreover, the Rothschild family has investments in real estate, energy, mineral resources, transportation, etc., all over the world. It can be said that as long as any industry is on the wind, the Rothschild family can extract huge wealth from it.

The British Empire during the colonial period was known as the empire on which the sun never sets because they had their own colonies in almost every time zone. No matter where the sun shines, they had a piece of territory.

And the Rothschild family is equivalent to the empire on which the sun never sets in the economic field. As long as there is a field in the world that can make money, they almost all have their layout. So no matter where the wind blows, they must have a place there.

Just like the explosive development of AI, the Rothschild family alone has already floated a profit of at least three hundred billion US dollars from their holdings in Nvidia, not including the value generated by their investments in the AI industry.

Such a powerful financial empire, if their funds were really audited clearly, it is estimated that it is likely to be on the scale of more than ten trillion US dollars.

Therefore, ninety billion US dollars in cash, Howard just made a phone call and gave a request, and it was secretly remitted to the Nordic royal family's bank account in Switzerland.

After Helena received the notification that the funds had arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, remembering Ye Chen's request, she said to Howard, "To be honest, Mr. Rothschild, if this kind of pill were at an auction, it would be impossible to trade at such a low price. The reason I brought it to sell to you is, on the one hand, because I am very interested in your AI, and on the other hand, it is entirely because of your son Steve's filial piety."

Beating him up first and then giving him a candy is Ye Chen's specialty. Naturally, Steve could not be an exception. He wanted Steve to feel the sweetness in his mouth while feeling the pain from the inside out, so he told Helena not to forget to leave some credit for Steve.

"Oh?" Howard asked curiously, "Steve knows that Your Majesty the Queen has such a magical medicine?"

Helena shook her head, "That's not it, it's just that he heard you had a stroke and was indeed very painful. I can also see that he is genuinely concerned about you."

Pausing, Helena added, "I think that everyone who is filial to their parents is worthy of respect. It was also his filial piety that moved me, so I thought of bringing the pill to New York to visit you, and by the way, see if we could reach a deal, which can be considered saving half your life."

Howard was amazed in his heart. He did not expect that his eldest son was so concerned about his body, which indeed exceeded his expectations.

After all, when his own father was critically ill, his mood was very excited and enthusiastic. To this day, he still remembers it vividly.

So, this made him think that Steve's affection for him as a father might be greater than the attraction of being a successor.

This indeed made him feel very gratified and also made his favor for Steve grow a step further.

Seeing that he seemed to be deep in thought, Helena said coldly, "Mr. Rothschild, being able to have such a filial son is indeed very gratifying. I believe that after he officially succeeds today, he will certainly be able to manage the Rothschild family well. After all, convincing people with virtue is the highest realm of business."

Upon hearing this, Howard, whose stroke had completely healed, could not help but shudder violently.

It was indeed gratifying that his son was filial, but thinking of the family meeting originally scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning, he could not help but become nervous, thinking, "Gratification is gratification, and being moved is being moved, but since my body has completely recovered, the matter of handing over the position of family head must also be temporarily shelved! I didn't want to pass on the position to Steve so early, and the decision to pass it on before was a helpless move after the stroke. Now that my body has recovered, naturally there is no possibility of passing it on!"

Thinking of this, he could not help but secretly think, "Although this will be a bit unfair to Steve, I believe that since my son is so filial to me and values my body more than his own succession, he certainly won't have much opinion on this!"

"Besides, even if he has an opinion, I can compensate him, right? Wasn't the identity of the successor not fully finalized before? This time, I'll just take advantage of the ten o'clock family meeting to set it for him! Let him at least be able to eat a reassurance pill!" ===== CHAPTER 2993 =====
