For publicly listedpanies, shareholder information is only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market, on the other hand, operates through various channels, making it nearly impossible to track or quantify ownership.


    In addition, the Rothschild family has a diverse portfolio that includes investments in real estate, energy, mining, and transportation across the globe. This means that regardless of which industry rises to prominence, the Rothschild family is positioned to reap significant wealth from it.


    Historically, during the colonial era, Britain earned the nickname “the Empire on which the sun never sets” due to its vast number of colonies spanning nearly every time zone. Wherever the sun shone, Britain had territory.


    In a simr vein, the Rothschild family represents an economic empire that operates continuously across various sectors. Their ability to generate wealth in nearly every corner of the globe ensures that they have a stake no matter where the market shifts.


    Take, for example, the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI); the Rothschild family has reportedly profited at least $300 billion solely from their investment in NVIDIA, not ounting for the additional returns from their broader AI investments.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Given the scale of their financial empire, if a thorough audit of their funds were conducted, their worth could very well exceed $10 trillion.


    As a result, Howard was able to discreetly transfer $90 billion in cash to the bank ount of the Nordic royal family in Switzend, all with just a phone call and some straightforward instructions.


    Helena felt a wave of relief wash over her upon receiving confirmation that the funds had sessfully arrived.


    Reflecting on Charlie Wade’s guidance, she turned to Howard and said, “Honestly, Mr. Rothschild, if this type of elixir were auctioned, it would never sell for such a low price. The reason I brought it to you is twofold: I’m genuinely interested in your AI endeavors, and it also stems from your son Steve’s filial piety.”


    Charlie Wade has a unique approach—he first delivers a harsh lesson and then follows it up with a reward. This strategy applies to Steve as well; he wants him to experience both the pain and the sweetness of the situation, which is why he advised Helena to ensure Steve feels acknowledged.


    “Oh?” Howard inquired, intrigued. “Is Steve aware that Her Majesty the Queen possesses this miraculous medicine?”


    Helena shook her head, rifying, “Not exactly, but he certainly seemed distressed when he learned about your stroke. It’s clear he genuinely cares about you.”


    After a brief pause, Helena continued, “I believe that anyone who shows respect and care for their parents deserves admiration. It was Steve’s devotion that inspired me to bring the elixir to New York, to see if we could reach an agreement that could effectively save half of your life.”


    Howard was taken aback. He hadn’t anticipated that his eldest son would be so invested in his well-being. It was indeed a pleasant surprise, exceeding his expectations.


    After all, he vividly recalled the anxiety he felt when his father was critically ill, a memory that still lingered strongly in his mind.


    This realization led him to consider that Steve’s concern for his father might actually surpass his ambition for the family legacy.


    This thought brought himfort, and he found his affection for Steve increasing as a result.


    Observing Howard deep in contemtion, Helena interjected, “Mr. Rothschild, it’s trulymendable to have such a devoted son. Once he officially takes on the mantle today, I’m confident he will ensure the Rothschild family thrives. After all, the highest form of business is to serve others with virtue.”


    Howard couldn’t help but shudder at her words, even though he had fully recovered from his stroke.


    While it was heartening to know his son exhibited such care, the uing family meeting scheduled for ten o’clock made him anxious. He pondered: “I’m touched by his concern, but now that I’ve regained my health, what will happen to the transition of leadership? I never intended to pass the title to Steve so soon. The decision to do so was made out of necessity during my illness. Now that I am well, I see no reason to hand over the reins.”


    This train of thought led him to consider, “Although this may seem unfair to Steve, I trust that since he values my health above his own session, he won’t take this too harshly.”


    “Besides, even if he does have objections, I can make it up to him. I’ve never fully rified who the heir is. Perhaps during the family meeting, I should discuss it openly and reassure him.”


    As Howard sat silently lost in his thoughts, Helena realized he was unlikely to pass on the title of family head to Steve as he had originally intended.<fn8b99> Content originallyes from find?novel</fn8b99>
