When Steve returned to the banquet hall,

His father had not come back yet.

After he sat down, Simon came back with the pill in his pocket,

Feeling both happy and sad.

Steve kept staring at his father's face,

He was trying to see if he had become younger after meeting Helena in private.

If so, it would prove that he must have received Charlie's pill from Helena.

But strangely, his father looked no different from ten minutes ago.

He couldn't help but think to himself:

"Father was so concerned about Northern Europe this time,"

"Can't he get a pill from Charlie?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

He felt that Charlie didn't give his father the pill,

But met him in private.

Maybe he was going to increase his bargaining chips on him in the future.

He didn't know that the half pill was being kept very carefully by his father.

Although Simon couldn't wait to take it,

In order to take care of his eldest son's emotions,

He decided to take the pill back to the United States and wait for Steve to go to China,

And then find a suitable opportunity to take the pill.

At this time, Helena had not returned to the banquet hall yet.

After Simon sat down, he whispered to Steve:

"Let's go back early tomorrow morning.

There are still many things waiting for me to deal with at home."

"Don't you also want to go back and prepare as soon as possible and set off for China?"

Steve nodded and said,

"I will follow father's arrangements."

As he spoke, Steve remembered Charlie's instructions and said,

"By the way, Father, after returning to New York,"

"I have to go to Houston."

"I want to acquire a remote sensing satellite company and hope you can approve it."

Steve knew in his heart that the remote sensing satellite company that Charlie wanted was worth only three or four billion US dollars,

But he had not yet become the patriarch of the family.

This kind of acquisition must not be carried out without the authorization of the family,

Otherwise, it would be easy for his father to think that he did not take him seriously.

This is different from investing in China.

This time, his father promised to let him manage a 50 billion investment fund.

Since his father has given him the right to decide,

He can invest the 50 billion in China at will.

But if he spends the 50 billion investment in China elsewhere,

His father will definitely be dissatisfied.

Therefore, he must first obtain his consent,

Before he can acquire the company openly.

Simon was a little surprised for a while.

He asked Steve puzzledly: "Why do you suddenly want to acquire a remote sensing satellite company?"

"This kind of company should not be of much help to our existing business, right?" Steve explained seriously:

"Father, I think that the satellite field will definitely be a huge market in the future."

"We are a little late to enter the market now and missed Musk's company,"

"So I want to acquire a related company first to practice and get familiar with satellite-related businesses and upstream and downstream industries," "Including the manufacturing and the launch."Text content © .

Simon said lightly: "Satellite industry,"

"It's too late. No matter how profitable this industry is,"

"It can't make money like oil and finance,"

"And it's not as stable as the latter."

Seeing that Simon didn't seem to be very interested, Steve hurriedly said:

"Father, the company I plan to acquire is estimated to be worth at most 5 billion US dollars."

"I know that this industry cannot be compared with energy and finance,"

"But I still want to give it a try."

"I hope you can approve it."

Simon thought for a moment when he heard that it was only 5 billion US dollars.

He said, "Since you have this idea to explore more,"

"I, as a father, should also give you more support."

"Just go ahead and do it."

"I will increase the budget for you."

"You can make your own decision within 10 billion US dollars."

Simon was gradually relieved about Steve.

Sometimes he even felt that his son was too sensible,

So he really wanted to treat him better.

Since his son wanted to do something he was interested in,

He would give him more help, which would be considered as compensation.

Steve was waiting for this statement from his father.

He knew very well that in his current situation,

As long as his requirements were not outrageous,

And the funds used did not make his father feel distressed,

His father would definitely give him the green light.

With Simon's words, Steve planned to go back and discuss the acquisition with the remote sensing satellite company first.

After the acquisition details were finalized,

He would let his subordinates complete the follow-up matters,

And he would go to China as soon as possible to report to Charlie.
