Michaela asked blankly “Mr. Wade, what do you mean?”
Charlie said, “Look, these rich people or wealthy families we usually come into contact with, what they like to do most is use the money to make money. They will use the money to make more money, which leads them to only like to spend the money where it can add value and bring greater wealth, so they are completely doused in it. If a family has seen through too much money for a long time, it’s just a numbers game, so that money is really spent in the direction of pure consumption, or in places where it can’t be reflected in concrete value at all, what will that bring?”
“Pure consumption…” Michaela frowned and thought for a while, still, a little puzzled and said embarrassingly “Mr. Wade, would you explain?”
Charlie said seriously “To give the simplest example, the assets of the Rothschild family of more than ten trillion dollars are placed in industries that can reflect value, such as investing in stones and mines investing in the listing of Fortune 500 companies. Enterprises, or directly set up banks, through banks to lend money to other companies in exchange for high interest or even equity. Even if the money is spent, it can still be counted on one’s own head. It is nothing more than a form of conversion of assets.”
“For example, I have 100 million dollars in cash and then spent 50 million dollars to buy a luxury house in New York and then turned my total assets into 50 million in cash, 50 million in fixed assets… Or, I exchange $20 million for a house, $20 million for stocks, $20 million for 20% ownership of an oil well, $20 million for a painting by a famous painter and then keep it. 20 million cash is used as working capital, so, although I have spent 80 million dollars, I actually only hold it in different forms and it may even continue to increase in value in the future.”
Speaking of this, he said “But, if I use 80 million of the 100 million dollars to cultivate a group of unknown dead soldiers? These 80 million dollars are converted into combat power, who can know it? When others measure my assets, they will think that I only have 20 million dollars. However, if I want to, these dead men on whom I spent 80 million dollars to build, they can easily kill ten so-called rich people with 100 million dollars in assets without blinking.”
When Michaela heard this, thinking of what happened to Charlie’s grandfather’s family some time ago, she suddenly realized something and said in horror “Mr. Wade, I understand what you mean…you mean to say, there may be some top families who have already surpassed the stage of showing their strength by accumulating money. On the contrary, they may have transformed the huge amount of funds into unexpectedly powerful combat power?”
