When Helena saw that Howard kept his head down and made a thoughtful gesture, she knew that he would definitely not pass the head of the house to Steve as originally planned.
As expected, Howard raised his head and laughed, speaking, “Your Majesty, thank you for coming to New York to attend the Rothschild family’s internal meeting to establish the heir, your presence makes the Rothschild family shine!”
Helena asked with feigned surprise, “Isn’t it today that Steve’s succession will be announced? How come the heir is being established instead?”
Howard waved his hand and said with a slightly embarrassed smile, “Plans can’t catch up with changes, changes can’t outrun plans, and I didn’t think, before this morning, that I would be able to regain my health again, don’t you think so?”
Helena smiled slightly, “Part of the reason you were able to regain your health is also counted as Steve’s filial piety moving God.”
Helena said this on her lips, but in her heart, she couldn’t help but think, “Howard really did backtrack, this completely confirms Mr Ye’s speculation, Mr Ye always anticipates things as if they were God!”
In fact, it wasn’t that Ye Chen was as good as God, he just saw through people’s hearts.
Since Howard intended to pass the head of the family seat to Steve because of the helplessness of his stroke, then as long as his stroke got better, he would definitely dispel the idea.
There are times when human nature follows the same logic as chemistry.
When water is electrolysed, it produces oxygen and hydrogen, which is the formula for a chemical reaction, and if you unplug the electricity, the water is still water.
The Howard patriarch is doing a good job, it’s water;
And he had a sudden stroke, which is electricity;
Oxygen and hydrogen produced by electrolysis of water is this result of Howard’s intention to give way to his son Steve.
So, only after Howard, the patriarch, had a stroke was this result of giving way to Steve.
Now that the stroke, the key condition, is gone, it is the same as unplugging the electricity, and then the result of Steve succeeding as patriarch, naturally, is gone.
Because of this, in Ye Chen’s opinion, Howard is well and still continue to pass the throne, it is the same as a pool of water to dry there, it decomposes itself into hydrogen and oxygen, that is to see a ghost.
At this moment, Helena sighed and then said to Howard, “Mr Rothschild, since there has been a change in your side of the plan, I won’t be attending the next meeting.”
Howard asked in confusion, “Why won’t Her Majesty attend? Having come, you might as well stay to guide and witness.”
Helena shook her head and said, “I came here, in addition to making a deal with Mr Rothschild you, I also want to establish a future communication basis with the Rothschild family’s patriarch, if Steve succeeds today, I should naturally witness it on the spot, and also by the way, I will establish a good communication basis with the new patriarch, however, right now, Mr Rothschild doesn’t intend to retire, so my goal of coming to New York this time has all been achieved, staying would also be a waste of time. I have achieved all my goals in New York, and it is a waste of time to stay.”
Howard immediately heard the meaning of her words and said with a smile, “Her Majesty is indeed a master of negotiation, I have never seen someone as young as you who can control the pace of the negotiation so well before! With Her Majesty the Queen at the helm of the Nordic Royal Family, it will surely rise to the top!”
Helena laughed, “Mr Rothschild thinks too highly of me, the fact that I can control the tempo well is entirely because I have a good teacher.”
Howard hurriedly asked, “I wonder which great talent is Her Majesty’s teacher, if I have the chance, I would like to get to know him!”
Helena faintly said, “My teacher acts in a more low-key style and doesn’t like the vanity of being famous, but I believe that in the future, Mr Rothschild will definitely have the opportunity to meet him.”
Howard smiled politely, “That would be great!”
Helena then said, “It’s getting late, Mr Rothschild, I’ll take my leave.”
Howard nodded his head, and seeing Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called out to her, “By the way Her Majesty!”
Helena turned around and asked curiously, “What else does Mr Rothschild want?”
Howard asked with concern, “That magical oriental pill of Her Majesty’s, I wonder if there are any left? If there are, I would like to buy some more.”
Helena shook her head, “Mr Rothschild, this kind of magical elixir, can be encountered but not sought, each one of them requires heavenly chances, think about it, how many times can a person, in his whole life, have the chance to escape from death and be blessed by a misfortune?”
Howard smiled and said, “People are greedy, although I had such a chance once, but I do hope very much to have a second time, or even a third time, if Her Majesty has this chance, please don’t be stingy, I will definitely give Her Majesty a satisfactory price!”
“A satisfactory price?” Helena muttered, deliberately smacked her lips and said with a slight hint of disgust, “With all due respect, in terms of your worth, Mr Rothschild, you really aren’t considered to be a good buyer, I believe that even if I still have this kind of elixir, I won’t be able to trade with you again in the future.”
Howard subconsciously asked, “Why did Her Majesty say that?”
Helena nuzzled her mouth, shrugged again, and said lightly, “Maybe it’s because I don’t like haggling, if there’s a next time, I’ll look for a more refreshing buyer, to save time and at the same time, my mood can be better, you’re also in business, and you’ve surely been a seller too, when you’re a seller, and the buyer on the other side of the table is always calculating, hesitant, and even doubtful of your integrity as well as the authenticity of the goods you are selling, then you certainly won’t be happy either.”
