Wiping the corner of her mouth, Selina chose to confirm again in case she heard wrong. "How much?"
Luke said, "About 5.789 billion."
Selina: "…"
She had always known that Luke could make a lot of money.
Some time ago, she had read in the newspaper that Titanium Phone Company was valued at close to two billion, and that Luke held the majority of the shares in the phone company. He was a billionaire in every sense of the word.
But she was still shocked by Luke's generosity this time.
After all, it had only been ten days since they last met, and he had already earned almost two or three times the value of Titanium Phone Company. This was just like in a novel.
Luke looked at her with a smile. "The phone company is also controlled by our handicraft company, so you're making a profit too."
Selina had joked before that Cosmic Cube Technology was someone's handicraft company, and that her investment of two hundred thousand dollars had gone down the drain.
He was taking revenge on a certain woman for what she had said back then.
Selina thought for a moment, then decisively shook her head. "Keep the money for yourself. You can buy things or build that lab you've been talking about."
She had done a simple calculation of how much money she would get this time.
Cosmic Cube Corporation owned almost eighty percent of the phone company's shares, and she owned five percent of Cosmic Cube Corporation's shares, which meant that she would get more than two hundred million dollars.
But she hadn't done anything from beginning to end. She couldn't accept sitting back and enjoying this huge sum of money.
Knowing what she was thinking, Luke said with a smile, "Don't worry. This money will be used to buy shares in Stark Industries. We'll be shareholders of Stark Industries in the future."
Selina: "What?"
What kind of operation was this? Making money from other people's stock prices plummeting, and then buying shares that had plummeted?
Luke shrugged. "Even if I give you more than two hundred million dollars, you won't be able to use it. When we go to New York in a few days, we'll have to protect ourselves. Being a shareholder of Stark Industries is a good choice. Of course, Jenny will be managing these shares. "
This time, Selina didn't have any objections.
A detective's salary was already enough for her daily expenses.
She had also received millions of dollars in dirty money from when she and Luke had been fighting people and looting the Los Angeles gangs.
Gold Nugget's share was also on her. In any case, the dog head couldn't spend its own money, and used Selina's credit card to pay online.
That would leave her with two million unspent.
The money for the ranch came from the dividends from the gold mine in Boom Town.
She didn't have the habit of spending luxury goods, so she wouldn't be able to use the large sum of money anyway.
After sharing the good news with Selina, he went home.
Robert was sitting on the porch, leisurely sipping a cold beer.
Seeing that Luke was back, he pointed to the side and said, "Sit down. Let's talk."
Luke obediently picked up the only other bottle of beer on the table and had a sip. "What do you want to talk about?"
Robert was silent for a moment. He took another sip of beer and said, "Did you encounter some danger?"
Luke was stunned. "Huh?"
Robert: "Transferring assets to family is a choice that many people make when they are in danger."
Luke was amused. "You're overthinking it. I just don't want to put those companies under my name. "
Robert was suspicious. "Really?"
Luke shrugged. "I don't want the paparazzi to interview me. Why am I still a detective when I'm so rich?"
Robert was obviously unconvinced. "Cut the crap. Do you see anyone handing over most of their assets to their family just because they don't want to be interviewed? Hmph, I've never seen it. It's more common for families to turn against each other over this money. "
Luke shook his head. "But these shares are only a small part of my assets."
Robert: "… Are you f * cking kidding me?"
Luke said, "Wait, I brought you a gift." He then got up and went into the house.
He quickly came out with a small box and gave it to Robert. "A new phone. It's similar to the satellite phone I gave you last time."
Robert opened the unwrapped box and looked at the thing inside. It looked a little familiar. "This looks like the phone that was advertised on TV?"
Luke was lost for words. The Titanium logo is on the phone. Can you not be so outdated?
He could only tell him that he was providing technical support for the Titanium phone and that he owned most of its shares.
Robert was full of disbelief. "When you were little, you were very mediocre at handicraft classes. You put together a small stool, and it collapsed when I sat on it. You can make phones?"
Luke's face darkened. "That stool was made for Claire. How could it not break when you sat on it?"
At that time, Claire was less than five years old and weighed only forty kilograms. Robert was 1.86 meters tall, and his weight was approaching two hundred pounds every year.
With Luke's little skills back then, how could the small stool he made withstand such pressure? It instantly disintegrated on the spot.
Robert ignored his words. He picked up the phone and fiddled with it. "How did you get this?"
Luke said, "Catherine has one too. Don't give it to anyone else. It's a special model that I specially modified for you. It's not the Titanium phone that's sold in bulk. "
As he spoke, he said, "Command 0. Begin owner verification."
The screen of the phone in Robert's hand automatically lit up, and the rough man exclaimed in surprise.
Luke ignored him and continued, "Facial recognition and voice recognition."
At this point, he said to Robert, "Face the screen and say your name."
Robert did as he was told.
His face appeared on the screen, and a notification popped up: Owner verification.
Then, the screen turned black again.
Robert examined the phone again and was still a little suspicious. "You didn't control it, did you?"
He wasn't a professional at setting up traps, but he had a few old friends who were.
It wasn't like they had never used a pager to trick people before.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Alright, there's an auxiliary program inside. If you have nothing to do, try it out yourself. It'll help you understand the special functions of this phone."
After explaining that, he said, "You can find news about Titanium Phone Company's valuation online. That's why I'm making money faster than you can imagine."
Robert looked at him disdainfully. "What does making money have to do with giving me shares?"
Luke said, "Fine, it really doesn't have anything to do with it. The truth is, with these shares, you'll have a new identity, which will be good for your safety. "
Robert asked, "What new identity?"
Luke said, "A shareholder of Stark Industries."
Robert was lost for words. Are you making this up?
Luke continued, "When the time comes, I'll find a representative to join the board of directors of Stark Industries and be in charge of everything. I won't disturb your lives."
