The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Merlin's perception was completely subverted when he heard Christian's words and he sighed as he said, "You guys are even more ruthless than spy warfare... The entire World War II was only fought for a span of six years, from 1930 to 1945, but you guys actually lasted fifteen years..." "Yes," Christian said seriously. "Don't all big families do things this way? We aren't afraid of spending money, wasting time, or wasting energy but we simply do not want to make any mistakes at all costs. You can't imagine the hidden engineering behind this matter. In order to send the talents that we've cultivated to several major families in Oskia without leaving any traces, we'd specially collaborated with Oskia more than ten years ago to organize an activity to promote the development of overseas Oskian top graduates returning to Oskia. We've sent nearly a hundred overseas Oskian graduates who have graduated from major universities in the United States back to Oskia, and let them enter these families through social recruitment and hard work from scratch."

"This matter has already been going on for more than ten years and during these ten years, we've continued paying high fees to these people in private."

"So, can you understand why we had to spend so much money?"

Merlin nodded and said emotionally, "I understand... You've spent billions of dollars on this matter over the past twenty years, only for it to yield no results at all in the end. Only rich people like you guys can afford to waste money like that."

Christian smiled slightly and said, "It doesn't really count as wasting money. Although we've spent a lot of money, the money was spent little by little over twenty years. Moreover, the money was placed into a trust with interest and the profit is also considerably impressive. Until half a year ago, the balance of the account should have been about thirty-five or thirty-six billion US dollars."

Merlin exclaimed, "Why is there so much? Didn't you already spend several billions of US dollars?"

Christian nodded and said, "We spend while earning and some years ago, the trust income was very high. It is normal to earn more than a dozen points annually in a good year. In addition, it follows a compound interest model and so, the more money there is, the more money will be

gained.'

As Christian spoke of this, he said again," So, it might sound like we're stupid and that we've even spent a lot of money in vain but in fact, we did not spend any of our principal and everything was done by a specially dedicated person. We don't have to do it ourselves. In the final analysis, it's actually still slightly profitable."

Merlin was convinced and he sighed and said, "Profits roll in, money generates money. In peaceful times, the wealth of the rich is truly eternal..."

After saying that, Merlin laughed at himself again and said, "It's so unlike me. I only know how to arrest people and solve cases. I'm not economically savvy at all."

Christian said seriously,

"Theoretically speaking, as long as the descendants of the rich know how to control themselves and not take any money out, even if the rich man only has one hundred million US dollars, if the money if placed into a trust, it can also be guaranteed that his future

им

generations would never lack money to spend."

Merlin could not help but sigh as he said," If you can find that nephew of yours, wouldn't his worth suddenly be increased by thirty or forty billion US dollars out of thin air?!"

"It's more than that," Christian said.

"When the old man's condition worsened, he was afraid that his consciousness would be confused one day and he would lose the ability to take care of himself. So, he filled the account with sixty billion US dollars at one go, making it up to a hundred billion US dollars. He also

changed the terms of theel

so

that the principal of one hundred billion US dollars would remain untouched and it would be reserved for my nephew. Only the annual profit can be taken out to search for my nephew, but even if that's the case, the annual profit is already several billion US dollars."

"So, if I can find my nephew, his worth will be increased by one hundred billion US

dollars out of thin air!" After hearing this, Mf took a slow puff. After that, he sat up

straight, straightened his collar, and grinned as he said, "Christian, what do you think about me becoming your nephew?"

Christian was stunned for a moment. After that, he reacted and he laughed as he cursed, "F*ck you."
