I’m A Quadrillionaire chapter 276
East League International, a two-month-old company, gained instant popularity.
People were also wondering how much money the company had as they had announced a one hundred billion donation to build schools.
Many media outlets also began to tally up East League International’s assets.
This statistics were even more startling.
East League International had almost four hundred billion dollars in assets, all invested in the last two months.
What did that mean?
East League International had invested over three hundred billion dollars in the last two months and was still investing billions of dollars every day.
It was all real money.
It was not the same as the market value.
Could a trillion-dollar conglomerate hold two hundred billion dollars in cash?
Certainly not!
East League International spent real money.
They had spent over three hundred billion dollars in two months, and now they were planning to spend another one hundred billion dollars on charity. That was over four hundred billion dollars.
How much money did East League International have?
No one knew.
They could not dig up the chairman David Lidell’s background and information.
East League International was so popular that it would attract more talents to join and more companies in need of investment to partner with them.
A remote town in South River Province.
Minnie was losing her temper in her room.
Over the past month, her parents had set her up with several nice men, but she did not like them.
She met the son of some business owner today. It was said that his family owned supermarkets in several neighboring towns.
The man liked her, but she did not feel the chemistry with him. She still thought about Sam and everything with him. Love made people lose their heads sometimes.
Mr. Fuller was in the living room watching TV while Mrs. Fuller was setting the table.
“Minnie! Come out for dinner!” Mrs. Fuller shouted to Minnie’s room after setting the table.
“Mom, I’m not hungry!” Minnie said.
“Are you still thinking about Sam, you damned girl? I’m telling you. I will never approve of you two being together. What’s so good about him? Is he any better than Mr. Lawrence’s son? We’re an important family in this town. How are we going to hold our head high if you marry that poor boy, Sam?” Mrs. Fuller gave another scolding.
“Mom! Are you trying to kill me?” Minnie said as she cried.
“We’re killing you? I think you’re trying to kill your father and I!”
Minnie stopped answering.
Mr. Fuller and Mrs. Fuller began to watch TV while they ate.
Then a piece of news on TV caught their attention.
“Next up, People’s News.
“Yesterday afternoon, East League International Investment Group announced the establishment of the East League International Foundation. They would be spending one hundred billion dollars to build schools in poor mountainous areas across the country so that studying would no longer be a luxury for all poor students.
“This is a major project that benefits the country and the people. Let’s hope more enterprises can learn from East League International. Next up, the general manager of East League International Group-Miss Pearl Warner has something to say.”
‘Pearl Warner?’
When Mr. Fuller and Mrs. Fuller heard the name, they stared straight at the television.
Then, the TV cut to Pearl standing on the stage at the press conference.
She wore a black business suit and looked smart, appearing both domineering and superior.
Pearl was a different person than she was a little over a month ago. She had gradually completed her transformation from a submissive, innocent, and lively girl into the domineering businesswoman she was now.
Clang!
Clang!
Mr. Fuller and Mrs. Fuller dropped their cutlery on the floor.
They both looked at each other and could see the shock in each other’s eyes as well as a little bit of… surprise.
Pearl was talking on the television.
Mrs. Fuller immediately came to senses and exclaimed, “Minnie, come out and look! Isn’t this Sam’s sister on TV?”
When Minnie heard Sam’s name, she rushed out of the room and saw the person talking on TV.
Yes, it was Sam’s sister Pearl.
Although her temperament changed, her appearance did not.
“Quick, call Sam and show this to his family!” Mrs. Fuller said quickly.
Minnie took out her cell phone and quickly called Sam.
“Minnie!”
“Sam, turn on the TV and switch to People’s Channel,” said Minnie.
“What are you doing? I’m not in the mood for TV right now!”
“Hurry up! Your sister is on TV. She’s talking on TV!”
“Huh? Oh! i’ll do it right away!”
Sam hung up the phone and rushed into the living room.
Billy and Leigh were watching a TV series when Sam started changing the channel.
“Sammy, what are you doing?”
“Mom, don’t talk. Just watch!”
The TV channel switched to People’s Channel and Pearl appeared before the three.
“Is… is this Pearly?” Leigh asked with a tremor in her voice.
“It’s Pearl! It really is Pearl! Pearl’s on TV!” Sam said excitedly.
Billy also watched Pearl speak on TV, his face full of shock and disbelief. He did not understand Pearl’s speech, but in his opinion, anyone who could get on TV was a big shot.
Minnie’s house.
“Minnie, why don’t you go online and search East League International?” Asked Mrs. Fuller.
“Oh! Okay!”
Minnie began searching East League International Group on her cell phone.
It did not take long.
East League International Investment Group..
Corporate representative David Lidell.
Chairman David Lidell.
General manager Pearl Warner.
‘General manager?’
All three were shocked.
They were not Billy and his wife-they were well aware of what general manager meant.
After this, Minnie searched up Pearl.
Graduated from Springfield University.
Worked at Golden Leaf Hotel.
Everything on the resume was correct.
All three were dumbfounded when they read the last sentence.
“As the general manager of the emerging East League International Investment Group, Pearl i s suspected to be close to chairman David and has assets valued at over ten billion dollars.”
Worth over ten billion dollars?
How much money was ten billion dollars?
They could not understand the astronomical figure, but they knew it should be a lot. A little bit of money from under her fingernails was enough to feed their two families for a lifetime.
“Minnie, I think you should persuade Sam to apologize to Pearl. After all, she’s his sister. They’re family, and there’s nothing they can’t get past,” Mrs. Fuller said to Minnie in a serious tone.
Mr. Fuller stood by and agreed.
“Okay! Got it! I’ll go and see him tomorrow.”
Minnie knew her parents would not stop her from being with Sam anymore.
Sam’s sister was too capable.
