I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30
Chapter 405 4042 A humble father, new rules! I want to see Jiang Chen’s performance.
Locke had a son when he was old, and he only had this one son, so he spent more than 20 years cultivating him, hoping that he could take over his business.
If he lost his son, he felt that his life would be meaningless!
and so……
He was willing to give all his wealth to save his son’s life.
and.
Even if he lost the wealth under his name, he would be able to make a lot of money in a short period of time. Even if he could not restore the assets of 250 billion US dollars, it should not be a problem to restore it to the level of hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars.
After all, he can indirectly influence and control the wealth of the entire Locke family, which is worth trillions of US dollars. With this resource, he can easily make a lot of money again in a short period of time!
of course……
More importantly, he knew about the deal between James and Jiang Chen.
James did not transfer half of his assets to Jiang Chen. Instead, he paid half of the asset value in cash, mortgaged the original asset stocks to the bank, and cashed out a large amount of cash to pay Jiang Chen.
In Locke’s view, this was an extremely friendly payment method for them.
As long as the assets and stocks are still in his hands, even if he owes the bank a lot of money, he can find a way to replace it slowly. There should be a way to replace it during his lifetime. At that time, his assets can still be in his own hands and can be passed on to his son.
and so!
This is also one of the reasons why he is willing to pay all his wealth to Jiang Chen.
If all the assets are really transferred to Jiang Chen’s name, then he may have to think carefully.
After all, he holds a large number of oil group stocks and some high-quality assets. If all of them are transferred to Jiang Chen, it may affect the control of their family’s oil and energy companies. The long-term impact and losses will definitely be more than 250 billion US dollars.
But if it is a mortgage in exchange for cash and the assets remain in his hands, then Locke can still accept it.
The room fell silent.
Terrins, Murphy, Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Chen Xiaojia, Pu Yuexi, Li Wen, and Wang Jing all looked at Locke in slight shock!
Obviously, they didn’t expect that the North American energy tycoon hidden behind the scenes would have such amazing courage and be willing to give up all his assets and wealth.
He was willing to give all of his wealth, amounting to 250 billion US dollars, to Jiang Chen.
This is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
There are very few people like James and Murphy who are willing to give half or more of their wealth to save their children.
After all, for the top dignitaries, the most important thing is the power and influence in their hands.
In a capitalist society, wealth and money can be equal to power and influence.
Therefore, for the top dignitaries, the wealth in their hands is the most important, while their children are not that important.
With their status and strength, even if all their children suddenly died, they could quickly use technological means to perform artificial insemination and cultivate as many next generations as they wanted.
A large number of offspring can appear at any time.
and so!
Few top dignitaries are willing to spend much on their children.
Some top dignitaries even secretly breed a large number of offspring for the sake of their own health and youth, and then use technological means to extract stem cells from their offspring and inject them into their own bodies to maintain their own body activity and health.
Such things are not uncommon in the top powerful circles in Europe and the United States!
They invest huge amounts of money in the biomedical field every year, and naturally they want results. If there are no results after a long period of investment, they will gradually lose patience, so some special means have emerged.
Murphy moved his lips, and suddenly knelt down in front of Jiang Chen, saying, “I know this is a very important etiquette in your China. Mr. Jiang Chen, I am also willing to give all my wealth, please save my daughter! I can’t lose my daughter.”
Murphy touched his head to the ground to show his absolute sincerity.
Locke followed suit and knelt on the ground, touching his forehead to the ground: “Please, save my son, I am willing to pay any price.”
The performance of the two moved everyone in the room.
Trins, who brought the two here, was a little shocked. He stared at the two with wide eyes. He asked himself, if it was his son or daughter who had a terminal illness, he would not pay such a price to ask Jiang Chen for treatment.
If a few billion dollars could cure it, he was willing to pay.
However, he would never provide treatment for his children if it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars.
unless……
It’s him!
This was also the reason why he approached Jiang Chen, wanting to establish a good relationship in advance and lay the groundwork for his possible needs in the future.
After all, no one can ensure that their body will always be healthy.
Han Qing, Yan Ruyu, Pu Yuexi, Chen Xiaojia, Wang Jing, and Li Wen all looked at the two gray-haired men kneeling on the ground with pity and sympathy.
They are willing to pay such a huge price for their children, even at the cost of their own dignity.
This is definitely respectable.
Jiang Chen also frowned slightly. He didn’t want to break the rules he set.
Because rules are rules, and once they are broken, there will be endless troubles.
What he fears most is trouble!
but……
These two people were so humble in front of him and gave everything they had, all for the sake of saving their children.
It is impossible for a person with emotions to remain indifferent!
Yan Ruyu whispered in Jiang Chen’s ear: “Jiang Chen, if you want to accept it, then we can add another rule to the original rules, that is, we can accept two patients who are willing to pay all their assets every year! This is the limit, no more will be accepted.”
Yan Ruyu watched Jiang Chen treat the patient and knew that Jiang Chen’s treatment was definitely not as simple and casual as it seemed to outsiders, and it definitely consumed a lot of Jiang Chen’s energy.
Therefore, she didn’t want Jiang Chen to spend all his time on medical treatment every year.
Accepting four patients is the limit, which may take Jiang Chen half a year. He can use the rest of the time to do other things he likes, or just rest.
Adding two more rules on the basis of the original ones is not considered a violation!
Of course, the most important thing is that Yan Ruyu was also moved by these two fathers, and she also saw that Jiang Chen was also moved. She wanted to accept it but did not want to break the rules.
So she proposed additional rules.
Jiang Chen listened, nodded slightly, and said: “Okay. Then I will add a rule for you! I will only accept two patients every year who are willing to pay half of their assets! However, if someone is in urgent need of treatment and is willing to pay all of their assets, then I can accept two additional patients.”
“These two conditions are essential. One is that you are in urgent need of medical treatment and your life is running out. The second is that you are willing to give away all your assets!”
“Are you willing to accept it?”
Jiang Chen looked at Murphy and Locke who were kneeling on the ground.
The two of them still had their foreheads touching the floor, and did not get up. After hearing Jiang Chen’s words, they hurriedly said happily: “Of course, I accept, I accept…”
“I accept it, I accept it… As long as it can save my son, I will accept anything…”
The two of them nodded in agreement eagerly, fearing that Jiang Chen would go back on his word.
Seeing the attitudes of the two, Jiang Chen could probably understand why Bowles took the risk to find him.
With such a humble attitude, it was difficult for Powers to refuse. But…
Jiang Chen has already punished Bowles and it is impossible to withdraw it. He has to suppress him well and make him keep a low profile and be honest in the future.
Jiang Chen looked at the two of them and asked Locke, “How much time does your son have?”
Locke immediately said, “The doctor said that I have at most six months left. If I’m unlucky, I may only have three or four months.”
Jiang Chen looked at Mo Fei: “Where’s your daughter?”
Murphy immediately responded: “My daughter has had ALS for a year and is now unable to move. She is in bed and has been undergoing a lot of treatments. She is currently stable and the doctor said she will not be in danger of death within two years. However, there is no hope of a cure.”
It’s only been a year since I got sick, so it’s not too serious.
James’ daughter Lily has been suffering from the disease for several years.
These top dignitaries have money and resources, and they can exchange research results with each other, so they have advanced treatment options for ALS.
Murphy’s daughter will have no problem holding on for another two or three years.
and so.
Jiang Chen asked Murphy, “Then why don’t you wait for next year’s quota? Then you might be able to save half of your assets.”
Murphy smiled bitterly and said, “I couldn’t bear it when I saw my daughter’s condition! I want her to recover soon. Besides, there are so many people in the club vying for a place. I don’t believe I’ll be lucky enough to get a place next year!”
There are now hundreds of people in the club waiting to grab a place for treatment next year.
and so……
Murphy didn’t want to take a chance, so he contacted Jiang Chen in advance and paid a greater price, hoping that his daughter would recover sooner and get rid of the pain.
I have to say, he is a great father.
Jiang Chen nodded, and then said: “After I cure James’ daughter Lily, Locke will send your son over! See where I am by then. If I have finished the world competition, I will return to China, and then you can send your son to China to find me.”
“Locke, your son’s treatment is over, Murphy, please send your daughter over.”
“Is this arrangement okay?”
Murphy looked at Locke and nodded, “No problem.”
Locke also nodded and said, “No problem, I will let the laboratory start preparing now.”
Jiang Chen: “That’s your business. Okay, it’s settled. You can leave now.”
After confirming it, Jiang Chen didn’t want to waste any more time and started to chase people away.
Trins, Murphy and Locke all felt bitter.
They gave Jiang Chen more than five thousand US dollars, but were still rejected by Jiang Chen.
They did not dare to complain at all and had to be humble, for fear that Jiang Chen would go back on his word and that they would not be able to give out their money!
“Okay, we’ll leave first. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Jiang Chen!”
Trins said respectfully.
Murphy and Locke also respectfully took their leave.
“I will start to get a mortgage and raise funds as soon as possible, and transfer the remuneration that should be paid to you to your overseas account as soon as possible!”
Murphy said seriously.
He is a European financial tycoon, and this is a very simple operation for him.
Locke also said: “I will pay you the reward next month.”
Jiang Chen didn’t care about it. He had long since given up on money. It was just a number that he could never spend.
The last time James paid hundreds of dollars, he also wanted to return to China to directly develop Chengdu and the west and do some unprofitable business.
For example, greening, some educational undertakings and so on!
Sending tens of billions of dollars to the West to support greening and education should have some effect, right?
However, Jiang Chen is not at ease with donating all the money directly to charity. He will try to set up a charity of his own to be responsible for these matters.
If more than 70 billion US dollars are not enough, then we can also add the more than 500 billion US dollars paid by Locke and Murphy.
Anyway…
There are definitely a lot of top wealthy people in the country who want to survive. They will have a guaranteed income of hundreds of billions of dollars every year and will never be short of money.
The official competition performance is about to begin.
Haley wanted to meet Jiang Chen again to talk about the performance, but when he arrived at the door of the lounge, he saw Trins, Locke, and Murphy walking out with extremely respectful and humble attitudes. After carefully closing the door, the three of them relaxed and then saw Haley walking over.
The three of them nodded to Hailey, their expressions arrogant and indifferent, completely lacking the humility and cautiousness they had just shown towards Jiang Chen.
Terrins said to Haley seriously: “Don’t make Mr. Jiang Chen unhappy. Everything should be done according to his preferences. Do you understand?”
Haley nodded quickly: “Understood, sir!”
Trins nodded and left with Locke and Murphy.
They also need to discuss how to raise enough funds for Jiang Chen with the least loss, and also consider the hidden dangers of long-term development in the future.
This is a huge project.
After all, the funds involved amount to hundreds of billions of dollars, which is a huge amount of money that can cause severe turmoil in a superpower like North America.
On site outside.
The live broadcast has actually started for a while.
All the audience have entered.
The scene with tens of thousands of people was extremely lively.
Hosts Allen and Jenna once again interacted with some big-name audience members.
Jenna asked Tony, a top Hollywood star in the front row, “Mr. Tony, I didn’t seem to see you last week? Why are you here this time?”
Tony, wearing sunglasses, said, “It was my loss that I didn’t come last time! I missed a wonderful performance. So, I asked for leave from the crew to come and watch the performance. For this, I spent 50,000 US dollars to buy a front-row seat. To be honest, it was a big price. I hope today’s performance will not disappoint me.”
Jenna smiled and said, “Whose performance do you want to see?”
Tony said with certainty: “Without a doubt, it’s Jiang Chen from China. I’ve listened to his “We Will Rock You” for several days and it was really shocking. That’s why I spent 50,000 US dollars to buy a front row seat. I want to watch a wonderful performance up close…” (End of this chapter)
