The living room was quiet, and Louise was the only one talking.

Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort sat on the sidelines, all with curiosity in their eyes.

Among them, Dumbledore is the most.

"My dear, from the day you were bought out by those vampires, your dad and I swore to help you take back everything that belonged to you. ”

Catching Carl's gaze, Louise said softly.

"When you were nine years old, with your three million patent fees, plus your father's savings over the years, we opened a company in the United States in your name, mainly engaged in network information security. ”

"I have to say, my dear, your dad is quite good," Louise smiled as she looked at her husband.

"Of course, don't look at what your husband does. Complimented by his wife, Nick naturally puffed out his chest.

"I'm a lawyer by profession!"

"A professional lawyer who has been a junior lawyer for thirteen years. ”

Louise covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hey, Louise, can you stop hitting me!" Nick said dissatisfied.

As he spoke, he looked at Carl with a smug expression, "Son, I forgot to tell you that your dad has now obtained a degree from the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. M. Master of Laws, and has passed the California Bar Exam, and has become an official listed lawyer in the United States. ”

"That's not because they value your current net worth for you, you still treat it like a treasure. Louise laughed and said.

"Hey!" Nick looked at his wife dissatisfied, "Honey, how can you say that? ”

"What about Berkeley's LL.M., which you also got by strength? If you don't give them 10 million dollars in founding fees......

For the rest, Louise didn't say more, just looked at her husband with a smile.

"I'm thinking about Carl's future, okay......" Nick whispered dissatisfied.

Then he stopped talking, and sat on the couch with his hands pinned to his chest, as if he was sulking.

Seeing this, Louise shook her head helplessly, patting her husband on the back as a sign of comfort, while looking at Carl again,

"In any case, your dad used his years of legal knowledge to grasp a small gap in the law, successfully circumvented the British patent law, deleted some details, and helped you register a patent for a network firewall in the United States. ”

"Then, we used this patent to open this company in your name. ”

"In the beginning, we were going to be steady and slow......"

When Louise said this, Nick, who was sulking, couldn't sit still a little and interjected: "But, son, we never thought that the money in the Internet and computer fields would be so easy to make in any way!"

Louise was not angry at being interrupted, but smiled and looked at her husband, who was suddenly interested.

"You wouldn't think of it, son. "How popular is our appearance, there have been a lot of companies in this field in the past, but they are just a small fight, and their technology is very immature." ”

"I have to say, son, you are really a genius, and your patent directly fills the gap in this field over there. We got an appraisal company, and they said that your firewall technology has pushed the bar up in the field by a decade. ”

"As soon as the company was founded, the companies related to the computer and Internet fields in Silicon Valley were like sharks that smelled fishy, and they frantically came to our door to seek cooperation. ”

Nick exclaimed: "In less than a year, the company's assets have increased dozens of times, and later, we expanded the company's business from network information security to the entire Internet information industry, and the company's assets have exploded again." ”

"Later, we expanded our business to the semiconductor field, and even the military took the initiative to seek cooperation ......."

As if thinking he had almost finished speaking, Nick paused, only to find Carl looking at him with strange eyes.

"What's wrong, son?" Nick unconsciously touched his face, thinking he had something dirty on his face.

"Let's be honest, how much money do we have now?" Rolling his eyes, Carl once again showed a look of lovelessness.

How did things come to this?

Did the heavens feel that he had not carried enough burdens, and that after giving him an incomparably handsome face and otherworldly talents, he was now going to let him bear these ......

Why is it so difficult to be a salted fish with peace of mind?

How can you bear it?

Nick was stunned for a moment, as if he had never thought about it.

"That's going to have to be settled. ”

As he spoke, he began to mutter, "The company's total assets are about 10 billion US dollars, because it has not yet been listed, so the company's current shares are mainly concentrated in the hands of four companies, one is of course us, one is the military, and the other is the government, and the rest are some people who were pulled for financing when the company was first established, but they didn't invest much, and now they only take dry shares and do not participate in the company's decision-making." ”

"Of these, the government accounts for 20 percent, the military accounts for 33 percent, a few partners account for 12 percent, and the rest of us account for 35 percent, which is the largest shareholder, so ......"

"So, it's thirty-five billion, right? ”

Carl slumped on the couch and looked up at the white ceiling.

He finally understood why Nick and Louise didn't care much about the joke shop business, and it turned out that it was here.

He finally understood what the two of them meant when they told him that they had a way in Washington......

Also, the two of them have been so busy before Christmas that they can't see their shadows, and they are probably busy with the company's affairs.

"That dear, you're actually missing ......"

Seeing Carl's expression, Louise said with a smile.

"The 10 billion that your father said was the company's assets before it was listed, half a year ago, the company was on the NASDAQ - your father and I were busy with this, in the past six months, the company's assets have doubled several times, of course, the proportion of shares in our hands is also much less, however, we have also invested in several listed companies in the name of the company, of course, they also invested in us...... So, there are some things in this that are quite complicated, and they can't be explained in one or two sentences. ”

"If you have to say how much money our family has now......" Looking at Carl, Louise reached out to help Carl wiggle his hair, and said distressed and funny, "It's probably about $10 billion." ”

As she spoke, Louise smiled playfully as if she remembered something again.

"And my dear, these tens of billions are all in your name, and your father and I are theoretically only responsible for supervision. ”

"So, your name is on the Forbes rich list!"

"And it's very high!!"

Carl's mouth was slightly open, and for a long time, only one note came out of his mouth.

"Hehe......"
