Chapter 892: 897 Chapter Limited Trust

Ignoring Brian’s wail, Annastasia angrily hung up the phone, then she commanded sharply, "Continue."

Continuing was naturally referring to Steve, who rubbed his nose unnaturally, then said solemnly, "There’s another portion of the cash flow scattered across various corporate accounts, that part of the cash is roughly..."

After thinking for a moment, Steve spread his hands, "The funds are very dispersed, and quite complex, I can’t give an exact figure, because it changes every day, according to what I knew a couple of days ago, it’s about fifteen billion US dollars,"

Yet another fifteen billion US dollars, cash flow!

Is money not money anymore?

Yang Yi had over a billion and felt like he was a super-rich man, unsure about investment, but for pleasures he believed he could never spend it all in his lifetime.

And now, it’s added up to over two hundred billion.

Just the cash flow that can be immediately withdrawn exceeds one hundred billion US dollars. This isn’t a joke, it’s cash flow, not fixed assets, it’s cash that can be used at any moment.

The importance of cash flow, those who understand know, and those who don’t, think about having over a hundred billion in your pocket to buy whatever you want versus having properties worth a hundred billion, but having to sell a property just to buy a million-dollar car is the biggest difference.

In two sentences, over two hundred billion, and over one hundred billion that can be accessed immediately. Yang Yi, just thinking about it felt his heart ache with excitement.

Those with such massive cash flows must be arms dealers and major drug lords, right?

The only ones who managed to remain calm were Boer and Norbert, especially Boer, since he used to manage a commercial bank. Although he was a front man, he had seen large sums of money before, so he wasn’t too excited.

"Corporate account cash flows?"

"Yes, speaking of which, we should now discuss fixed assets."

Steve appeared slightly proud as he calmly said, "Why does Deyo trust me? Why does Deyo trust me and is also willing to entrust his property to my management? That’s because all the investments I made for him were profitable, not a single failure, all profitable."

Boer nodded, "So, what about stocks, funds, and the like?"

"None, I don’t trust financial products, that’s why I choose investment companies and don’t put money into the financial markets. For an arms dealing magnate who has a massive cash cow, there’s no need to take risks in the financial market."

Boer shrugged, "I don’t quite agree with your view on the financial industry, but please continue."

Steve continued solemnly, "Deyo’s private real estate, valued at about four billion US dollars, but real estate isn’t within your consideration, right?"

"Yes."

"Then let’s talk about the companies controlled by Deyo, these assets are worth about eighty billion US dollars, but some of it cannot have their ownership transferred. In other words, after Deyo’s death, I can’t control that portion. The assets I can control are worth about fifty billion US Dollars."

"What are they?"

"Eagletoni Investment Company, its total assets are about one hundred and ten billion US dollars now. The whole company has six board members, but all are front men. The chairman, Wayne Rushford, was a front man I handpicked and promoted. With just one word, this company could change owners."

Eagertoni Company, the first company Steve mentioned, and because of this company, the singer was gone, Kate’s parents were gone.

It was like a dream; what originally seemed an unattainable Aigertoni Company now ended up in their hands.

"Controlled through Eagletoni Company are seven high-tech companies, holding stakes ranging from fifty-one percent to ten percent, these seven companies’ total assets are about fifteen billion US dollars."

"Very good."

"Seven percent of the shares of United Technology Company, approximately valued at sixteen billion US dollars."

"Top five hundred in the world, very good."

Steve pondered for a moment, then he added gravely, "These are the companies with major total value; there are also many smaller companies not exceeding ten billion US dollars in market value, but profitable, totaling twenty-one. Holding stakes from twenty percent to forty percent, not a controlling share, but these are ones I chose, as I believe these companies have good profit prospects, and so far, my investments have all been profitable."

Boer looked puzzled, "All profitable? Not a single loss?"

"None, all profitable, just more or less."

"You’re remarkable!"

Boer extended his thumb, sincerely praising Steve, "I’ve never met anyone who dares claim all their investments are profitable; you’re amazing."

Steve sighed softly, speaking in a low voice, "If it weren’t for working for Deyo, perhaps I could’ve been the best corporate CEO in the world, who knows, I no longer have that chance."

Boer smiled, "Then how can these company shares be transferred to our names?"

"They’re all front men, Deyo trusts them completely and can control them fully. After Deyo’s death, you need to find these people one by one, no matter what method, just make them hand over the shares."

Steve shrugged, "Maybe some won’t want to hand over the money, but... Deyo won’t deal with his front men personally, you just need to say a word."

Boer spoke seriously, "Entrusting one’s vast wealth entirely to front men? That’s not safe enough, there must be a way to guarantee absolute control, right?"

Steve nodded with a smile, "Yes, before entrusting a company or a substantial amount of funds to someone, I’d have them sign a loan agreement with Deyo, definitely exceeding the value they hold, but these loan contracts are all in Deyo’s hands. I believe even without a contract, you all could secure the money."

Boer was relentless, "There are loan contracts? What if someone got hold of these loan contracts?"

Steve paused, then shook his head, "No one can get them, because these debt contracts and some assets are kept by Deyo in a Swiss bank’s safe, only he can retrieve them, or his eldest son, but they’re both dead. Given Deyo’s style of not trusting anyone, this wealth is like the Jewish money during World War II, no one can get it."

Boer smiled, "Multiple control methods, but the most trustworthy is oneself. However, you said Deyo trusts you, now you say he doesn’t trust anyone?"

Steve shrugged, "Of course, his trust in me is limited, and my price is that I can never leave Deyo, isn’t that enough?"
