"In any society and culture, the owner of wealth needs to have the ability to protect this wealth. If the difference between the two is too large, wealth will be lost, actively or passively until a certain balance is formed again. This situation will happen in the United States, in France, in the United Kingdom, and in Japan. The castle you own is currently facing this problem. Compared with the excess wealth of the castle, your overall strength is too weak. You are almost as rich as a country, but you do not have the strength of a country."

"It seems that I am going to be beaten to a rich man. What if I insist on not transferring the shares of the castle?"

"Then you may have to face several consortiums and giant companies that are always hostile to you. If you can survive their open and hidden guns and arrows, and successfully integrate into the upper class of the United States and find your own allies, then you can almost maintain your wealth."

"Open and hidden arrows? What will you face?"

"Everything is possible, everything is possible. The wealth that castles mean is too huge. You need to face all possible ways, from murder, to beauty schemes, legal encirclement, commercial siege, and even various frauds and kidnappings. It can happen in all possible ways, as long as you can take the shares of the castle from you."

“Is it included universal?”

"It's not included in general, but if you're too weak, it might also include it."

"Thank you for your honesty."

"You're welcome, after all, we have had a successful cooperation, and I won't easily abandon my partners, especially partners like you who always create miracles, so today is me, not others."

"It seems that you have helped me block some storms, thank you again!"

"Can you ask, what did you think specifically? Do you need to think about it and give me a reply later?"

"I want to know, how do you evaluate the castle? Since someone wants shares, what is their valuation of the castle?"

"The rough valuation is about $100 billion."

"So many?" Mo Hui was surprised when he heard this number. "How did he calculate it specifically?"

"The most valuable companies that Castle invests now are Kaben, Kuka and Eiffel. Among them, Kuka has the smallest imagination space. According to its market share, technical level, and competitive trend of its competitors, the valuation is about 7 billion US dollars. There are three other companies of the same level in the field of industrial robots. Kuka is far from dominant in this industry, and there is no possibility of it defeating its competitors in the near future, so this valuation is basically based on business data and future development space."

"Card is for individual users, with a broader prospect, with a valuation of US$30 billion. It is mainly because it is the first product that is truly intelligent in the field of life service robots. It currently has no competitors, and because it is for home use and has a broader market prospect, it has a higher valuation."

"But because Kaka does not have much technical barriers in hardware, it can be expected that a large number of similar robots will appear soon. The main difference between them and Kaka should be in software, but this does not prevent some low-end and low-priced products from squeezing the market."

"Eiffel has the highest valuation, around $60 billion. The reason why Eiffel's valuation is so high is mainly because Athena does not have hardware dependencies, it has good migration and can easily manage other software, which has led to Athena being able to quickly occupy the market."

"Athena has no competitors now, but the situation it faces is mainly different from Kaka's business rules. The main competitiveness of software lies in user experience. At this point, low-end and defective products are difficult to be competitive. Therefore, it can be foreseen that Athena will have at least one year of no competitors, and this time will be even longer."

"Now that the Internet is so developed, the one-year window period is enough to allow Athena to fully occupy the market. Even if competitors appear, they will face a behemoth that is as difficult as Microsoft."

"Athena will monopolize products such as AI butler, and even monopolize AI systems in the field of smart hardware. It will be the next Microsoft. It is precisely because of this prospect that Eiffel has a valuation of US$60 billion."

"One trillion US dollars!" Mo Hui nodded with satisfaction, "It sounds really fulfilling."

"Gates' wealth is about US$75 billion. As long as you agree to this equity transaction, you will immediately become the richest man in the world." Mary jokingly said.

"Are they going to trade at this valuation?"

"Yes, as long as you don't close the door to cooperation, they will naturally follow the business rules."

Mo thought about it, "I don't want to take out the castle. I still want to retain the shares of Kuka and Kaben, but I can consider transferring some of Eiffel's shares, with Eiffel's valuation of one hundred billion."

"You mean Eiffel alone has a valuation of 100 billion, are you?"

"Yes, Microsoft's market value is now 400 billion US dollars, Facebook is 300 billion US dollars. If Athena grows up, I think it is completely possible to replace Microsoft and Facebook, and even more important software. So at this point in time, I think Eiffel's valuation should be 100 billion."

"I have to ask them and see what their opinions are."

"Okay, no problem, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Athena is quickly occupying the market. The longer the time, the higher the valuation of Eiffel will be."

"Understand, I will ask them to give a reply as soon as possible. How many shares do you plan to transfer?"

"It depends on their appetite, which ones are there?"

"Microsoft, Apple, Goldman Sachs, Bridgewater, Amazon, HP, and many others are mainly these companies. In fact, the consortiums such as Mellon, Citigroup, Morgan, Boston, and Barclays are behind them. This is just a preliminary contact before, and I guess other parties will join in the future."

"Two conditions, first, I want to be the largest shareholder, and the share gap between other shareholders cannot be too big. Second, HP cannot do it, and everything related to Fiorina cannot do it."

"What's wrong?" Mary felt a little strange, and she asked curiously. "You probably don't have any interaction with her, right?"

"Well, I'm a little bit judging. Fiorina's face is too long, and it happens to be the type I hate the most, so she can't do it, neither she nor the people behind her can do it."

Mary felt speechless when she heard this. This is not looking for a lover. Besides, Fiorina is in her 60s.
