Chapter 190: Shanghai Fantasy
The Dupont family initially made its fortune from products related to gunpowder, chemicals, and military weapons. After several centuries of development, the Dupont family now owns numerous research institutions and the most advanced laboratories worldwide. Thus, they are determined to acquire the black meteorite, which holds immense research value.
On the other hand, although the Rothschild family originated in Europe, many of its industries have shifted to the United States since World War II. Consequently, the family’s influence in America is considerable, as they are one of the shareholders of the Federal Reserve, controlling many of America’s economic lifelines.
The Rothschild family is involved in a wide range of industries, so their research institutions are numerous. Money is not an issue for them, and they will not easily give up on an extraterrestrial object with significant research value.
Sitting in an ordinary seat below, Wu Hao already knew the details of the two competing financial giants through his intelligent brain. However, he wasn’t concerned that these two families would fight to the end.
Although both families are wealthy and aware of the black meteorite’s potential impact on their future development, they know each other’s backgrounds. Therefore, if the price becomes excessively high, there is a strong possibility they will reach a cooperative agreement to research the black meteorite together.
As Wu Hao had speculated, although the two families are still bidding, the bids are increasing slowly by $50 million increments. Behind the scenes, the leaders of the two families have already started contacting each other.
“Boss, the Dupont and Rothschild families are already negotiating the ownership of the black meteorite. It seems that although both financial giants want it, raising the price too high doesn’t serve their interests. We can make a move now. However, afterward, these two families will definitely not let you leave the U.S. peacefully,” the intelligent brain’s voice conveyed through the earpiece to Wu Hao.
“In that case, let’s start bidding! As long as the black meteorite is in my hands, leaving the U.S. will be a minor issue. By the way, Zero, my real identity won’t be discovered, right?” Wu Hao whispered to the intelligent brain Zero.
