Selina wiped the corner of her mouth casually, and chose to confirm again to avoid mishearing: "How much?"
Luke: "About 5.789 billion."
Selena: …
She had always known that Luke was good at making money.
Some time ago, she read in the newspaper that the valuation of Titanium Mobile Phone Company was close to 2 billion, and Luke held most of the shares of that mobile phone company, making him a true billionaire.
But she was still shocked by Luke's move this time.
After all, it's only been more than ten days since we last met, and he has earned almost the valuation of two or three Titanium Mobile Phone Companies. It's just like in the novel.
Luke looked at her with a smile: "The mobile phone company is also controlled by our handicraft class company, so you also made money."
Selena once joked that Cosmic Cube Technology Co., Ltd. was someone's handicraft company and her investment of 200,000 yuan was wasted.
He was just taking revenge on a certain woman for her bad remarks.
Selina groaned, and after a moment's thought, she shook her head decisively: "Keep the money for yourself. You can use it to buy something or build that laboratory you've been talking about."
She just did a quick calculation on how much money she would get this time.
Cosmic Cube owns nearly 80% of the mobile phone company's shares, and she owns 5% of Cosmic Cube's shares, which means she can get more than 200 million US dollars.
But she didn't contribute anything to this matter from beginning to end, and she couldn't accept the fact that the man just sat back and reaped the benefits with such a large sum of money.
Luke knew what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this money will be used to buy shares of Stark Group. We will also be shareholders of Stark Group in the future."
Selina: “What?”
What kind of operation is this, making money by taking advantage of the plummeting stock prices and then buying the plummeting stocks
Luke shrugged. "Even if I give you more than 200 million US dollars, you won't be able to use it. When we go to New York in a few days, we will have to be our own umbrella. The shareholders of Stark Group are a good choice. Of course, Ginny will manage these shares on our behalf."
Selena didn't have any objection now.
The detective's salary was enough to cover her daily expenses.
And some time ago, she and Luke went on a rampage to beat up people and rob the Los Angeles gang, and she got a share of millions of dollars in black money.
The gold nuggets were also counted on her head. Anyway, that dog head couldn't spend the money himself, so he used Selena's credit card for online payments.
This way she would have two million left unspent.
The money to buy the ranch came from the dividends from the gold mine in Prosperous Town.
She has no habit of spending luxury goods, so she won't be able to use this huge sum of money.
After sharing the good news with Selina, Luke went home.
Then I saw Robert sitting on the porch, leisurely drinking a cold beer.
Seeing Luke coming back, he pointed to the side and said, "Sit down, let's talk."
Luke followed suit and took the only other bottle of beer on the small table. He opened it and took a sip: "What are you talking about?"
Robert was silent for a moment, took another sip of beer, and then asked, "Did you encounter any danger?"
Luke was stunned: "Huh?"
Robert: “Transferring assets to family members is a dangerous choice for many people.”
Luke smiled: "You think too much. I just don't want to put those companies under my name."
Robert was suspicious: "Really?"
Luke shrugged. "I don't want those paparazzi to interview me. Why would I become a detective when I'm so rich?"
Robert obviously didn't believe it. "Stop talking nonsense. Have you ever seen anyone give most of their property to their family members just because they don't want to be interviewed? Humph, I haven't seen it. There are more cases in the news where families turn against each other for money."
Luke shook his head: "But these shares are only a small part of my property."
Robert: “…Are you kidding me?”
Luke: "Wait a minute, I brought you a gift." He stood up and went into the house.
Soon he came out with a small box and handed it to Robert: "A new phone, similar in function to the satellite phone I gave you last time."
Robert opened the unpackaged box and looked at the contents. He felt that they looked familiar. "This looks like the cell phone that was advertised on TV?"
Luke: ...The titanium logo is on the phone, do you want to be so out of date
He could only tell us that he provided technical support to Titanium Mobile and owned most of its shares.
Robert was full of disbelief: "You were so-so in handicraft class when you were a kid. You put together a small stool, and it collapsed when I sat on it. How can you make a mobile phone?"
Luke's face was full of black lines: "That little stool is made for Claire. How can it not break if you sit on it?"
At that time, Claire was less than five years old and weighed only 40 kilograms, while Robert was 1.86 meters tall and his weight was approaching 200 pounds year by year.
With Luke's limited craftsmanship skills at the time, the small stool he made could not withstand such pressure and it disintegrated on the spot in an instant.
Robert ignored him and fiddled with the phone: "How did you fix this?"
Luke: "Katherine has one too. Don't give this phone to other people. It's a special model I modified for you. It's not the titanium phone that's sold in bulk."
Then he said, "Command 0, start confirming the owner's information."
The screen of the phone in Robert's hand lit up automatically, and the rough man exclaimed in surprise.
Luke ignored him and continued, "Perform facial recognition and voice recognition."
At this point, he said to Robert, "Turn your face to the screen and say your name."
Robert did as he was told.
His face appeared on the screen, followed by a message: Owner information has been confirmed.
Then the screen went back to black.
Robert looked at the phone again, still a little suspicious: "You are not controlling it remotely, are you?"
He is not a professional when it comes to setting up traps to cheat people, but he has some old friends who are professionals.
It’s not like they haven’t used pagers to impersonate high-tech equipment to fool people before.
Luke rolled his eyes. “Okay, there’s an auxiliary operating program inside. Just try it yourself. It will help you understand the special functions of this phone.”
After explaining this, he said, "You can find relevant news about the valuation of Titanium Mobile Phone Company by just searching online, so the speed at which I make money is beyond your imagination."
Robert looked at him with disdain: "You make money quickly, what does it have to do with giving shares?"
Luke: "Well, it really doesn't matter. The truth is, with these shares, you will have a new identity, which is good for your safety."
Robert: "What new identity?"
Luke: "Shareholder of Stark Group."
Robert: ...Are you making this up
Luke continued, "When the time comes, I will find an agent to join the Stark Group's board of directors and take charge of all matters. I will not disturb your lives."
