The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 2613

When Yolden said these words, Charlie already knew very well in his heart that it would simply be impossible for him to persuade Yolden to collaborate and work together with him. 5

Moreover, he also understood a principle stating that' A gentleman would never force a person to do something against their own will'. 3

Therefore, Charlie did not continue making any further efforts, and he said earnestly, "Professor Hart, I understand what you mean. I am sorry for being too reckless and hasty."

Yolden hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is not your fault. This is just an issue that is weighing heavily on my mind. Since I have already made a promise to my deceased wife, I will have to keep my promise and not be ambiguous on this issue. So, I hope that you will not hold it against me."

Charlie hurriedly replied, "Why would I? Professor Hart, I truly understand your decision."

Yolden smiled happily. At this time, it seemed as though he suddenly recalled something, and he said," Charlie, honestly, you do not need to go through so much trouble just to engage in the ocean shipping industry by yourself to guarantee that you have an

absolute advantage in front of the Wade family and the Schulz family."

Charlie asked curiously. "Professor Hart, what do you mean?"

Yolden replied seriously, "I think you can simply head to the United States to look for your grandfather. As long as you have your grandfather to back you up, you will not have to worry about the Schulz family o the Wade family at all. This is because even if the Wade family and the Schulz family were to combine their forces, they would not be your grandfather's opponent at all." 6

Charlie was dumbfounded, and he asked, "Professor Hart, my grandpa... does he really have such strong and powerful abilities?"

Yolden replied solemnly, "Strong and powerful?! He is much more than that! There are three top wealthy and influential families in this world. Each and every one of these families are very wealthy and powerful. One of it is the Rothschild family in Europe, the second is the Saudi royal family in the Middle East, and lastly, it is the Oskian American family, the Acker family in the United States!"

As he spoke, Yolden asked, "Do you know how much wealth your mother alone has generated for the Acker family?" i

Charlie shook his head before he sighed and said ashamedly, "I will not hide it from you, Professor Hart, but I really do not know much about my grandfather's family at all. Firstly, it is because I was too young back then. Although my mother brought me to my grandfather's house several times, I do not know much about my grandfather's family at all. Secondly, it is also because based on my impression, my mother did not seem to have a very good relationship with my grandfather." 5

"Yes." Yolden nodded before he said, "Back then, when your mother and father got together, and your mother decided to return to Oskia with your father to marry into the Wade family, your grandfather was very dissatisfied. This was because your grandfather despised and looked down on the Wade family as he felt that the Wade family was not worthy enough to become his in-laws."

As he spoke, Yolden said, "In fact, your grandfather was not wrong. The Wade family was actually nothing worth mentioning at all back then. Although the Wade family was very powerful in Oskia, they were nothing on an international level." 4

Charlie asked curiously, "Then, what kind of businesses and industries does my grandfather's family do?"

Yolden replied emotionally, "Your grandfather's family does almost everything. The Acker family has a certain degree of involvement in any industry that you could possibly think of. However, the Acker family likes to maintain a low-profile. They have thousands of companies all around the world, but on the surface, it will look like these companies have nothing to do with the Acker family at all. Moreover, the members of the Acker family rarely personally show up in public. They are similar to the Rothschild family in this aspect."

"The Rothschild family's current industries might not seem like much to the public now, but the main point is that the Rothschild family own more than just one bank. Not only that, but they are also holding onto many shares in disguise in many different banks."

"Owning a bank is tantamount to controlling all of the finances. Almost all of the companies would need to go through the banks for financing and public listing purposes."

"Therefore, a large and influential family like them would naturally invest in many new start-ups and public listed companies through a large number of venture capital funds and stock funds. The Rothschild family has a stake in almost all of the world's top five hundred companies in Europe and the United States. However, their shareholding structure is designed in a very secretive and ingenious way so that the public would not be able to easily see through it."

Having said that, Yolden had a face filled with admiration as he said, "The Acker family's operating manner and route are similar to that of the Rothschild family. So, I believe that even your grandfather himself would not know how much money he has. So, I naturally have no way of knowing it at all." "However, I know the size of the venture capital funds that your mother has established in Silicon Valley back then has already exceeded ten billion US dollars thirty years ago."

"Other people who want to raise so much money would have to seek investments from many wealthy individuals or even retail investors to be able to raise that sum of money. However, all of the funds that you mother used back then came directly from the Acker family!"

"Also, over the years of development of Silicon Valley, I believe that most people would have already heard of it. A large number of the Fortune 500 were born here, and a large number of the top and wealthy IT magnates were also born here."
