Chapter 52: Metamorphosis (I)

"First of all, Mr. Wally, thank you very much for taking the time to interview me and for all the facilities you have made for it."

After officially taking his seat in the study, James got straight to the point and began his own exclusive visit in his usual way of sharp and straightforward.

"According to my research, it's clear that your family doesn't rank in the top 20 of the world's richest people, but if you take your implied wealth into account, you're probably the richest person in the world."

"Of course, having a rich and mysterious family lineage seems to be one of the necessary conditions, right, Mr. Wally?"

Wally stared at the neatly dressed guy across from him, his mind stirred a little uneasy.

I thought to myself, this James is worthy of a famous mouth, and as soon as the problem comes up, it seems that he has dug a lot of pits waiting for him.

What are you implying for? Could it be that everything I do depends on my ancestors for eighteen generations, and that I am worthless? Do you suspect that our family's capital strength is not strong enough, or that it is not coming from the right path?

Fortunately, Wally had foreseen almost all of the issues that would be mentioned at the meeting, and was well prepared. There are pros and cons to global live broadcast, and in fact, it is also an effective way for me to use James's mouth to dispel the public's doubts for many years.

If you follow the other party's train of thought, you will inevitably be led into the trap set by James. As for how to answer these questions, it must be very methodical.

"Our ancestors first started in the development of mineral resources and related trading business. Mention must be made here of the first founder of our family, Mrs. Eva. Her keen insight and vision for the future have made the family great."

Wally talks about mineral resources, but the images in his mind pass over countless days he and Eva have spent together. I couldn't help but sigh softly.

"The most important point of disagreement between Mrs. Eva and her husband is that Mr. Eva believes that the progress of science and technology is the ultimate driving force for the development of society and even human civilization as a whole. Eva believes that technology is only the foundation, and what drives civilization to the highest level is the most essential and primitive beautiful emotions of human beings. ”

"For centuries to come, the members of the family continued to follow tradition and develop strictly according to these two seemingly contradictory aspects"

"We have invested not only in the field of education, but also in the field of cutting-edge technology, which has made us what we are today"

Wallie's seemingly high-sounding reasons are actually true. He mastered technology far beyond human civilization at that time and today, and only needed to release some technology that was slightly ahead of the modern era to maintain his great success.

The guarantee of mineral resources is a prerequisite for the realization of these technologies.

James realized that it was impossible to dig up any surprising news points in front of this old man, because the time was old, and Wallie's answer was difficult to verify. You have to change the direction of your attack and look for unexpected gaps or weaknesses.

On the wall behind Wally, a large oil painting caught James's intense interest.

A beautiful woman is in the center of the picture, flying like a god in the dark and blood-red sky.

The sky seems to be ruthlessly torn apart, and countless boulders and debris pour down from a crack in the sky.

The woman's hand is holding a stone that glows green, and she is facing her.

The greenstone glowed brightly in the woman's hands, and the hues around her were much darker because of the blood red and black.

Her flowing attire was strange and beautiful.

Below her jade-like feet, a rainbow of exquisite beauty appeared. The theme that the whole picture wants to convey is impressive and unforgettable.

In the signature area on the lower right side of the screen, there is a very small but very striking oval.

This symbol looks so familiar, because it is the well-known Cupid's arrow!

Immediately below the heart symbol is a row of incomprehensible symbols, six in total, the first five being the same, and the last one being different. It seems a lot like the way we record time.
