Chapter 073: Still Poor!
"Ahem, am I the only one who doesn't know what the Wilden Group is?" Raymond coughed dryly.
The taciturn father Fang Mo also raised his hand honestly, saying that he was also completely unaware and didn't know what they were talking about.
But Red Tank obviously knew about this Wilden Group, and he was not surprised at all by the reaction of the old Aiden father and son, and just took another sip of wine to himself.
Uncle Mitchell acted as a commentator at this time: "The Wilden Group is one of the top 10 publicly traded groups in Virginia, and its subsidiaries span multiple industries such as clothing, catering, and tourism. β
"Like the more common 'Polk men's wear' in Richmond, as well as the 'Nandes chain fried chicken', which are all well-known brands under the Wilden Group......"
Mitchell still has a sense of unreality when he says this.
If Carl in front of him is really the chairman of the Wilden Group he said, even if he is calculated according to a relatively low shareholding ratio, his net worth is at least billions of dollars.
The clothing company founded by the elder Aiden is less than one percent of his net worth.
A rich man of this level, even if the old Aiden father and son can usually meet some, at most they will participate in some dinners and activities together, and it is almost impossible to have further intersections, let alone the other party taking the initiative to come to the house as guests.
Because the two sides are no longer a class of people at all.
Just like the old Aiden's friends, they are basically some small bosses who have taken a back seat, and there are few salaried white-collar workers.
This cold and sudden family has a big boss of a listed group, and he also appears as a friend of his own nephew, and he has always been polite to the family, no wonder Mitchell feels that all this is a little unreal.
With his eyesight, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Karl, who is suspected to be the boss of the Wilden Group, has shown great respect for Raymond and the strong man named Cain from beginning to end.
Although he didn't deliberately flatter, he basically put himself in a relatively low position.
This is by no means explained by modesty.
A big boss of a listed group with a net worth of billions, does it need to be like this?
Although Raymond's nephew is well-known in the academic world, and he is also a top-ranked psychology expert, he is not so bullish as to let the big boss of a listed group treat him like this, right?
Mitchell doesn't think it makes sense.
Not to mention the old Aiden, who was more vicious than his son, and had long seen that Carl's posture towards Raymond was very low.
At first, he thought that this Carl was Raymond's subordinate, or wanted to befriend Raymond's fox friend.
I never thought that Carl would be the boss of the Wilden Group.
Seriously, both father and son actually had some doubts in their hearts about whether Carl was a liar or not.
Because looking at Raymond's reaction, he obviously didn't know that Carl was the boss of the Wilden Group, and obviously the familiarity between the two was not very high.
In this case, if this Carl is really the boss of the Wilden Group, they can't think of any reason for Carl to put a low profile like this.
However, the elder Aiden and Mitchell will give birth to this suspicion because they are not aware of another layer of Carl's identity - the core member of the Hellfire Club, the 'Black Knight'!
Raymond, who knows the details of Carl, certainly doesn't think Carl is talking nonsense.
However, it would be nonsense to say that Carl is still a big boss of a listed group.
After listening to his uncle Mitchell's introduction, Raymond looked at Carl in surprise and said, "You guy is so rich?" Why didn't you tell me sooner. β
"You didn't ask."
Carl shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't blame me, and smiled indifferently: "Besides, compared to Miss Betsy, I don't dare to call myself rich, if you want to hate the rich, then you will pick the wrong person." β
"Betsy is richer than you?" Raymond glanced in the direction of the backyard and was surprised.
"There is no comparison at all." Carl shook his head.
Hearing this, Raymond finally understood why the Hellfire Club was once again nicknamed the mutant elite group.
Just one of the core members, Karl, who should be considered very low, has a net worth of at least billions of dollars, and he also has a large listed group in his hands.
And listening to that meaning, his net worth is not worth mentioning at all compared to the spirit butterfly, and there is no comparison.
If Lingdie's net worth is only two or three times that of his, it must not be called incomparable.
This proves that the spirit butterfly is definitely the invisible kind of super-rich.
Judging from this situation, most of the core members of the Hellfire Club are probably rich people like them who are rich and have thousands of family fortunes.
In the 'gold standard' societies of Europe and the United States, in addition to emerging industries, wealth is often most directly related to politics.
With so much wealth in their hands, the Hellfire Club naturally has huge political influence, and it is no wonder that they have been able to stand for so many years.
Raymond used to think that he was a rich man now, at least compared to his previous life, his net worth was only high.
Looking at it now, it's still poor......
While Raymond lamented that he was still too poor, the elder Aiden and Mitchell, father and son, looked at each other again, and both saw the suspicion in each other's eyes again.
Originally, Carl, who claimed to be the chairman of the Wilden Group, made them a little unbelievable, and secretly suspected that it was a liar, but they didn't expect to hear what Carl meant, the female friend that Raymond invited with him this time was actually richer than him, and it should still be many times richer.
It's many times richer than billions of dollars, how much is that?
Why is this still getting more and more outrageous......
If it weren't for the fact that Carl was Raymond's friend, they would have already questioned it.
Mitchell, under the hint of his father Aiden Sr., patted Raymond on the shoulder and said, "Raymond, come upstairs with me, I have a little bit to consult your opinion on the company's personnel matters-"
"Okay." Raymond did not refuse.
In fact, it was not that he did not notice the change in the expressions of his grandfather and uncle.
He believed that Red Tank and Carl must have noticed it, but they didn't pay much attention to it.
Sure enough.
When the two came to the second floor, Uncle Mitchell immediately asked in a low voice, "What are the origins of your friends, are you sure they are all right?" I listened to them as if ......"
Mitchell said that to this point, he almost said that I thought they were liars.
Raymond smiled: "Uncle, you think too much, have you forgotten what my profession is?" Trying to lie in front of me is not something that anyone can do. β
Mitchell froze.
Yes, he forgot that Raymond was a psychologist.
Not to mention ordinary people, even professional liars, it may be difficult to lie in front of Raymond.
"But." Mitchell still couldn't put his mind at ease.
Raymond continued to laugh and said: "Although I didn't know exactly what Carl was the chairman of the Wilden Group before, his other identity can be said to be only higher than this identity, he doesn't need to lie to me about this kind of thing, uncle, you can rest assured......"
"And something like this, whether it's true or not, uncle, don't you know when you ask someone? I believe that with your connections, it should not be difficult to get a photo of the chairman of the Wilden Group, right? β
"You waitβ"
Mitchell was also anxious, and as soon as he heard this, he went directly to the back room to make a call.
