As soon as Simeon said these words, the entire scene burst into applause!
The Butwell family members, except Shelby and Royce, jumped up and applauded wildly almost at the same time!
Like Raphael, he even shed tears of excitement involuntarily!
None of them wanted Simeon to abdicate, let alone Shelby to succeed.
Maintaining the status quo is their biggest extravagant hope Because maintaining the status quo can ensure that their current vested interests will not be greatly affected.
Maybe if they make a great contribution in the future They will have the opportunity to counterattack and replace Shelby and become the new heir.
Originally, they thought that maintaining the status quo was an impossible dream, but unexpectedly, this dream actually came true.
Shelby was hopeless at this time.
He had already guessed that such a situation would happen buthe didn't expect that his father could talk about it so grandly, which made him very angry.
However, fortunately, among misfortunes, the old man has listed himself and his son as the 1st and 2nd heirs.
As a result, his chances of succeeding in the future will be much greater.
As long as nothing happens in the middle, In the future, he will definitely be the next patriarch of the Butwell family.
Simeon looked at the reactions of most of his children and grandchildren at this time and felt very satisfied.
When he thought that he would still be able to give orders here in the next few years He couldn't help but sigh. The 60 billion was actually well spent.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart "Oh, this man has worked so hard to earn money for nothing."
"JustSeveral more years of good life? If there is a chance to live to behundred years old."
"What does it matter if 1/2 of the family property is given away to others?"
…
When Hemary returned to Ottawa, the capital of Canada.
Along the way, she was thinking about how she should report to Chris the progress she had made in New York.
Telling the truth? That is impossible.
Because Chris had made an agreement with her before, Hemary could take 1/2 of the price of the elixir.
This elixir was actually sold for 60 billion USD plus an AI model.
The AI model was a condition attached by Chris soit was not within the scope of the share.
This also meant that she should get a share of 30 billion USD.
But, how could she take away so much money from Chris?
Hemary could not convince herself of this point no matter what.
So, after thinking about it, she decided to lie to him Report the Butwell family's 50 billion USD deposit to her according to the sales volume andtell that the elixir had been bought for 111 billion USD.
As agreed. she took 55 billion of it. Giving 55 billion to Chris.
In this way, what she actually took away was only 5 billion USD.
This is already the highest commission Hemary can accept in her heart.
After making up her mind, she took out her mobile phone and called Chris.
At this moment, Chris is still on the plane returning to Springs Which is almost an hour's flight away.
Since Alora was in the U.S after Chris returned to the U.S from Canada He did not take the more eye-catching Concorde, but took an ordinary business jet Which made the journey back home much longer.
The plane was traveling at a slow speed and had to stop to replenish fuel soit took more than10hours to fly and it still hadn't reached its destination.
After receiving the voice call from Hemary Chris guessed that she was sharing the good news with him soafter answering the call, he asked her with a smile "Hemary, have you left New York?"
"Yes." Hemary said respectfully "Mr. Arthur, I have returned to Canada and want to call you to report on my experience with the Butwell family."
Chris said with a smile "You tell me, I Listen."
Hemary then recounted the entire process of her meeting with Simeon to Chris in relative detail.
When mentioning the price, she lied "Mr. Arthur, the final price that Simeon and I reached was that he would pay US$110 billion in cash."
"Plus build a complete AI model in North Europe and maintain it for at least 20 years with updates and upgrades."
"Twelve hundred billion?"
Chris couldn't help but be a little surprised and said "You really made Simeon bleed!"
Hemary smiled "Who made him only willing to pay 100 million USD in the beginning?"
"If I took the initiative to ask for 10 billion, I might raise it to 20 billion, which would be about the same. butwhen I asked for 100 million USD."
"He sounded like he had paid a sky-high price, so I thought I would just do nothing but hit him hard."
Chris smiled and said "The Butwell family is as wealthy as any country."
"andit won't hurt them to let them shed some blood. Simeon should still feel that it is a good deal."
Hemary said with a smile "InSeveral years, he will probably be willing to spend 200 billion USD to buy a tablet."
Chris said "It depends on his specific performance. If the performance is bad, I won't sell any elixirs to him in the future."
Hemary on the other end of the phone said at this time "By the way, Mr. Arthur, when is it convenient for you, give me a bank card and I will transfer your Part of the money."
Chris was about to agree but suddenly felt that something was not right.
Based on Hemary's character, if this deal really amounts to 111 billion USD She will definitely find various reasons to reduce her own share.
If he wants her to take 1/2 of it as agreed, it will probably cost a lot of tongues.
butnow Hemary, without any hesitation, would directly settle the score 550 with him.
This was very different from her usual behavior Which also made Chris certain that there must be something fishy inside.
Chris speculated in his mind that Hemary had most likely lied to him.
The actual transaction price should not be as high as 110 billion U.S. USD.
She most likely deliberately reported the price to lower her due. Thinking of this part of the reward, he said to Hemary "You can hold this money for me 1st. I have no place to use the money."
"Not to mention such a huge amount of cash. I don't have a suitable account on hand Immediately."
He was worried that Hemary would give most of the sales proceeds to him, so he planned not to accept the money until he figured it out.
What's more, he is indeed not short of money now and has abundant cash flow that cannot be exhausted.
He does not need these more than 50 billion USD at all.
It is better to leave the money in Hemary's hands 1st.
On thehand, it can prevent Hemary from giving more.
On the other hand, he inevitably needs a huge amount of money in Europe and the U.S in the future.
If the money is in Hemary's hands, it will be more convenient to spend in Europe and the U.S.
Hemary still didn't know his intention and thought that he really didn't have a suitable account to collect the funds soshe asked him "If you need a secret account, I can help you contact a Swiss bank and ask them to open an account with a high confidentiality level."
"No need." Chris said with a smile, "Just I will leave it with you 1st. I will contact you when I need to use it."
Hemary hesitated for a moment but agreed. She said "Well, Mr. Arthur, I will keep these 55 billion USD for you 1st."
