The Amazing son in law Chapter 8018
Rachel Getty was surprised that charlie would leave so suddenly, while her unfortunate boyfriend was still busy running errands for Steve in Chinatown.
Her first reaction was that charlie was far too arrogant, completely disregarding everyone.
But then she thought, charlie had the right to be arrogant; he bossed Steve around, let alone Robert, that nobody from the Rothschild family.
Steve was already used to charlie’s casualness, and upon hearing that charlie was leaving, he quickly and respectfully asked, “Won’t you eat something before you go? That kid Robert probably won’t be back for another half hour. If you don’t want to deal with him, I’ll just have the kitchen serve the food. You two eat first.” charlie waved his
hand and smiled, “No, let’s get together another day. We’re going to Harvard in a few days, and we can get together on the East Coast then.”
Steve quickly smiled and said, “No problem, I’ll wait for you on the East Coast.”
charlie stood up and said to Steve and Rachel, “You can take your time later…” “Eat slowly, Rachel. Remember to give me enough time. This meal should end when I arrive in Miami.”
Rachel naturally understood charlie’s intention. The Left Army Commander’s Mansion would definitely take her dinner with Steve very seriously. As soon as she returned to her quarters, they would inquire about the details immediately. If she revealed the impending surge in oil prices as charlie requested, they might immediately head to the Getty family. It was possible that the clerk would arrive before charlie, and they would miss each other.
The safest way was to wait until charlie arrived in Miami before returning.
Therefore, she immediately said respectfully, “Mr. wade, please rest assured, I await your news.”
charlie then instructed Steve, “Talk to Robert more, preferably get him to drink a few more drinks until he’s tipsy. In short, don’t arouse his suspicion.”
Steve smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this little thing.”
Putting charlie aside, Steve was definitely a man of action; his efficiency, awareness, and execution were impeccable.
He immediately arranged a private jet for charlie, which took off for Miami in the shortest possible time. Meanwhile, a vehicle was already arranged at Miami airport for charlie to use upon landing, allowing him to drive directly from the hangar.
All the Getty family’s information was also gathered by charlie on his way to the airport with Lin Wan’er.
The Getty family, as a long-established family, had once been very powerful, but in recent years, due to limited management skills, they had gradually declined. However, even a fallen giant is still a giant; the Getty family currently has at least tens of billions of dollars in assets, and their long-established oil industry brings them billions of dollars in profit annually.
In terms of net worth, they certainly can’t compare to the billionaires of Silicon Valley’s emerging industries; any prominent figure in Silicon Valley has a net worth higher than the entire Getty family.
However, the biggest difference between traditional manufacturing industries and emerging industries is that while the former may lack room for imagination and have lower price-to-earnings ratios, its advantage lies in the fact that every penny of its assets is real, resulting in relatively stable income.
It’s like a flour mill owner with a net worth of ten million dollars versus a cryptocurrency tycoon with a net worth of one hundred million dollars; the former’s business has extremely strong risk resistance, while the latter might wake up tomorrow with nothing.
The Getty family happens to be the former. Although they haven’t had much opportunity to gain prominence in recent years and their influence has diminished, they are still living comfortably.
However, the leaders of the Getty family are not content with this mediocre state. They are eagerly seeking opportunities to elevate their family’s status, and Rachel Getty has undoubtedly become their hope. After all, she is dating a direct descendant of the Rothschild family. If they were to marry, the Getty family would certainly rise to a higher level thanks to the Rothschild connection.
