The fragrance of tea is lingering and lingering.

Tang Yuan held the teacup and drank slowly, after half an hour of Danny Grant's narration, he already roughly understood what was going on.

Victor Grant was born in 1905 into an aristocratic family in England, where he received a good education and enjoyed a life of affluence, but with the outbreak of the First World War, the whole of Europe was turned into a meat grinder.

In the war, Victor Grant's family quickly declined, his father collapsed, and in the fourth year after the end of World War I, he died of illness, and his father's departure caused a great blow to Victor Grant's mother, who also died a few years later.

The death of his parents and the decline of his family caused the young Victor Grant to grow up quickly, and then he sold all his family property and went to California to start a new life.

At that time, it was just in time for the gold rush and industrial boom of the United States, Victor Grant grew up in an aristocratic family since he was a child, and he was very clear about many business logics and principles.

In 1931, World War II broke out.

During this long period of global war, the global situation was changing, it can be said that risks and opportunities coexisted, Victor Grant with his keen business sense, the value of personal wealth began to skyrocket, and by the end of World War II in 1945, Victor Grant's personal wealth was enough to rank among the top five in California.

With this wealth as the cornerstone, in the next few decades, Victor Grant will be steady and steady, and his wealth will continue to expand, but everyone has everyone's troubles, even Victor Grant, who is sitting on tens of billions of assets, also has his troubles, that is, he has fertility problems.

For decades, Victor Grant sowed seeds everywhere, but never flowered, occasionally bloomed a few times, or women with ulterior motives borrowed seeds to blow up the beard, after several successions, Victor Grant couldn't help but be a little disheartened.

However, there is a way to plant flowers without blooming, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, just when Victor Grant was 60 years old, a drunken homework made Victor Grant accidentally sow seeds successfully, and he was still a son.

After the child was born, because Victor Grant had been defrauded several times before, Victor Grant immediately used the most advanced medical methods at the time to conduct several paternity tests, and the final result made Victor Grant ecstatic.

After decades of hard work, he finally had an heir, and Victor Grant has since given all his energy and love to this child, even if this child has no intention of business when he grows up, and only likes to travel around the world to explore, Victor Grant has never stopped him.

It was in this context that the Victor Foundation was established by Victor Grant, at first he only donated half of his assets to the Victor Foundation, but when Victor Grant was 90 years old, his son, who had worked hard to raise for 30 years, had an accident in a skydiving, and the result was naturally ten deaths.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, the grief in Victor Grant's heart can be imagined, the grief is greater than the death of the heart, in the despair, Victor Grant directly donated all his assets to the Victor Foundation, but just when Victor Grant was in despair, an unexpected news surprised and delighted him.

His son Alex Grant was traveling around the world, a woman gave birth to a son for him, and Victor Grant immediately used all his strength to find the whereabouts of this grandson as soon as he learned the news.

"After the old master found the child, he didn't let the child be brought to the United States, because at that time his body had reached the point of running out of oil and lamps, and he knew that his life was short, so he chose to hide the child."

"You have an old Chinese saying, called the husband is innocent and guilty, if you let an infant child inherit the huge assets of the old master, after this news comes out, it will definitely attract countless jackals, tigers and leopards, all want to bite on this piece of fat."

"In the end, the old master made a will before he died, and then sealed the will in the headquarters of Morgan Bank, and set a 20-year sealing period.

When Danny Grant said this, his expression was a little excited: "Little master, you are the last bloodline of the Grant family, and your real surname should be Grant!" ”

"Forehead ......"

Facing Danny Grant, who was slightly excited, Tang Yuan blinked, and was faintly speechless in his heart, he really didn't expect the system to give him a hand transfer.

What kind of behavior is this?

This is not the pure old six's stealing behavior!

But in the blink of an eye, the other side let himself pretend to be a grandson, and even changed his surname, and even the bloodline is not pure now.

All right......

Money is hard to make, is hard to eat.

After all, it is hundreds of billions of assets, so if you are wronged, you will be wronged.

Tang Yuan's mind was full of thoughts, but he was silent on the surface, and after Danny Grant finished speaking, he bowed his head slightly and said softly: "Uncle Danny, you have worked hard all these years. ”

Tang Yuan's fluttering words directly poked into the softest place in Danny Grant's heart, which reminded him of the old master's son, Alex Grant, when he was young.

"Uncle Danny!"

"Uncle Danny!"

"Uncle Danny!"

……

A call seemed to be in the ear.

Danny Grant was born unmarried and childless, so he watched Alex Grant grow up from childhood to adulthood, and the feelings accumulated over the decades naturally cannot be expressed in words.

Danny Grant looked at Tang Yuan in a daze, and had mixed feelings for a while.

"Uncle Danny?"

Tang Yuan saw that the other party was a little distracted, and he spoke again and called softly.

"I'm sorry, I remembered some of the past."

After Danny Grant came back to his senses, he couldn't help but look a little apologetic, and then he took the black briefcase from Oleg Kotov's hand: "Little master, we have come here to bring you not only the letter of appointment of the chairman of the Victor Foundation, but also all the asset certificates in the possession of our Victor Foundation, so that you can have a comprehensive understanding of the Victor Foundation." ”

"Okay."

When Tang Yuan heard this, the whole person suddenly became a little energetic.

According to the introduction of the system reward, the assets held by the Victor Foundation are as high as 15 billion US dollars, and such huge assets are naturally impossible to exist in the form of cash, so the assets held by the Victor Foundation must be diverse.

In fact, Danny Grant's next introduction proved that Tang Yuan's guess was correct.

The assets held by the Victor Foundation can be broadly divided into five aspects.

The first aspect is real estate investment, which accounts for 40% of the total assets of the Victor Foundation. Since the 70s of the last century, the Victor Foundation has begun to invest in real estate around the world, such as castles in Europe, office buildings in Manhattan, New York, apartments in Tokyo, Japan, sea-view mansions on the Hawaiian Islands, independent islands in the Maldives, manors in New Zealand, etc., from mansions, villas, manors to office buildings, apartments, private islands, these Victor Foundations are involved, in addition, the Victor Foundation also holds the land property rights in the core areas of super-first-tier cities in many countries around the world.

The total value of these properties alone is as high as 6 billion US dollars, but according to Tang Yuan's estimates, the actual value of these properties should be more than 6 billion US dollars, because the value of these real estate has always been in a state of continuous appreciation with the continuous development of the global economy.

Tang Yuan just took a cursory look at the location of these real estates, most of them are the core areas of super first-tier cities, and real estate resources like this, unless the country suddenly declines, there is basically no possibility of losing money.

As the world's second largest economy, China naturally covers the scope of real estate investment of the Victor Foundation, but because China's land property rights are not permanent, it accounts for a small proportion of the investment of the Victor Foundation, and is mainly concentrated in the six cities of Yanjing, Zhonghai, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, Gangcheng and Macao.

The second aspect is financial investment, which accounts for 30% of the total assets of the Victor Foundation, with a total value of nearly $5 billion. According to the details just handed over by Danny Grant, Tang Yuan found that the Victor Foundation holds the original shares of a large number of technology companies in the United States, such as Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Oracle, Facebook, Tesla, etc., although each company is only a small part, at most it can only be regarded as an insignificant small shareholder, but it is enough to be called precious.

The third area is gold investment, which accounts for 15% of the total assets of the Victor Foundation, with a total value of nearly $2 billion. This part of gold is completely different from the gold in the above financial investment, and the gold in financial investment is an extended financial product with gold as the core, similar to gold stocks, gold funds, and gold options.

However, the current part of the gold investment is real gold that can be seen and touched, worth 2 billion US dollars, a full 30 tons of gold, which is stored by the Victor Foundation in batches in the headquarters of JPMorgan Bank, Citibank, Royal Bank of Scotland, National Bank of Spain, Bank of China and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China.

For the Victor Foundation, the 30 tons of gold belong to the strategic reserve funds, in order to prevent one day, if the world breaks off again in the war, so that most of the industries of the Victor Foundation will decline, with these gold backings, the Victor Foundation can have a chance to start over, so this part of the funds has not been misappropriated since the establishment of the Victor Foundation.

In fact, the total value of these 30 tonnes of gold has increased more than tenfold over the past few decades, and there is no doubt about gold's ability to hold its value as an item pegged to global currencies.

The fourth area is philanthropic investment, which accounts for 10% of the total assets of the Victor Foundation, with a total value of nearly $1.5 billion. According to the relevant laws and regulations of the US Imperialist Foundation, any foundation must spend 5% of its total assets annually on charity or public welfare in order to continue to maintain the tax exemption rights enjoyed by the foundation.

The Victor Foundation has always maintained a good response to this regulation, has been investing in the education sector for decades, and has maintained a very good rate of return every year, basically maintaining a balance of payments.

For decades, many of the students who have been funded by the Victor Foundation are now leaders in the industry, including financiers, politicians, military officers, scientists, and educators.

In addition, the Victor Foundation has cooperated with many famous universities in California for decades to jointly carry out many experimental projects, famous schools and venues, and the Victor Foundation has funds, and after the experimental projects have results, the Victor Foundation will use other companies to buy them out at a low price for the first time, and then use these results for commercial use, thus forming a virtuous cycle of funds.

The last area is cash, which accounts for only 5% of the Victor Foundation's total assets, with a total value of nearly $1 billion. On weekdays, it is mainly used for the daily expenses of the Victor Foundation, such as employee salaries, vehicle maintenance, business consulting, etc., and this part of the funds is usually supplemented by financial investment.

The above five aspects are all the asset allocation of the Victor Foundation, and it took Tang Yuan two hours just to understand the allocation of these assets in detail, which shows how huge the scale of assets mastered by the Victor Foundation is.

By the time Tang Yuan had finished understanding all these asset allocations, it would be almost afternoon.

"Little master, according to the content of the old master's will, you are the sole beneficiary of our Victor Foundation, and later you need to sign some legal documents, and after you sign these legal documents, the entire Victor Foundation will officially belong to you, and then you can transfer all the assets of the Victor Foundation at will."

As he spoke, Danny Grant took out another document from the black briefcase, and then pushed it in front of Tang Yuan.

This is a legal contract translated into Chinese and English, and the main content is roughly the gift of assets, the donor is Victor Grant, and the recipient is Tang Yuan.

After Tang Yuan picked up this document, he did not sign it immediately, but carefully and carefully read it from beginning to end, and only then signed his name and pressed his handprint behind the recipient.

With the signing of this legal document, it means that the entire Victor Foundation is in Tang Yuan's hands, and it means that all the assets owned by the Victor Foundation will be exclusively owned by Tang Yuan.

"Hoo ......"

Tang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly closed the cap in his hand, and then looked at the two of them: "Uncle Danny, Secretary General Oleg, my chef has prepared lunch, shall we wait to eat and chat?" ”

"Okay."

Danny Grant replied with a smile, and the three of them got up and walked in the direction of the restaurant......
