He said, “Do you know how much wealth your mother has created for An?”
Charlie shook his head and sighed with shame: “You tell me, Professor Watt, I don’t know much about Grandpa’s family. One is that I was too young back then. Although my mother took me to Grandpa’s house several times, I’m The public family doesn’t know much about it. Another thing is, in my impression, the relationship between my mother and my grandpa doesn’t seem to be very good.”
“Yes.” Pollard nodded, and said, “Back when your mother and your dad came together and wanted to go back to China with him and marry into the Wade family. Your grandpa was very dissatisfied because your grandpa couldn’t look down on it. The An family felt that the Wade family was not worthy of being his in-laws.”
As he said, Pollard said seriously: “Actually, your grandfather is not wrong. The Wade family was really the same back then. Although it was very good in China, it is really impossible to get on the stage when looking at the world.”
Charlie asked curiously, “Then what business does my grandfather’s family do?”
Pollard said with emotion: “Your grandfather’s home, you can do almost everything, you can think of the industry, the settlement should have a certain degree of involvement, but the settlement is extremely low-key, they have thousands of companies around the world, but these On the surface, the company has nothing to do with An, and the An family rarely show up on their own. This is the same as the Ruthschild family.”
“The current industry of the Ruthschild family is not too much to outsiders, but the key is that the Ruthschild family has more than one bank and holds many shares in disguise in many banks.”
“Owning a bank is tantamount to controlling finance, and almost all companies now need to finance and go public through banks.”
“Therefore, a large family like this will naturally invest in many start-ups and listed companies through a large number of venture capital funds and stock funds. Almost all of the world’s top 500 companies in Europe and the United States have Rothschilds. The shares of the German family are just that their shareholding structure is designed so secretly and ingeniously that outsiders can’t see it at all.”
Having said this, Pollard said with admiration: “The operating route of An is similar to that of the Ruthschild family. So, how much money your grandfather has, maybe he doesn’t know how much money he owns, and I have no way of knowing. .”
“However, I know that the size of the venture capital fund that your mother established in Silicon Valley back then exceeded 10 billion U.S. dollars thirty years ago.”
“Other funds want to raise so much money. I don’t know how many wealthy individuals or even retail investors are required to raise funds. However, all the funds that your mother used back then came from An!”
“Moreover, over the years of development of Silicon Valley, I believe most people have heard of it. A large number of Fortune 500 was born here, and a large number of top IT rich were born here.
