Chapter 89: Surprised Old David

The long convoy sped along the road, heading towards Long Island.

Long Island, a wealthy area in New York, is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The island is covered with forests, fine sand beaches beaten by clear water, towering and eye-catching coastal lighthouses, well-known wineries, world-famous castles, mansions and British gardens.

Rockefeller used to live in the upper reaches of the Hudson River, where the famous Rockefeller Castle is located.

The castle estate covers an area of ​​4,000 acres and is surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.

Not only the buildings and gardens are an architectural art museum, but the manor also houses a large number of antiques and art statues. In the basement, there are even many treasures from artists such as Van Gogh and Leonardo da Vinci.

Thirty years ago, it was estimated at $2 billion.

But later, Rockefeller donated most of the estate to the country.

It looks very generous and magnanimous. After all, it was a super manor castle worth 2 billion US dollars thirty years ago.

It is currently under the management of the United States National Park Service.

The person in charge of the part of this system that manages the Rockefeller estate has always been David Rockefeller.

Since it has been donated to the country, the maintenance, repair and daily operating expenses of this huge manor castle will of course be borne by the country.

To this end, the U.S. National Park Management System spends more than $100 million each year to maintain this huge and exquisite Rockefeller Castle.

Later, members of the Rockefeller family had the right to live in the estate.

The place where they live is not accessible to ordinary tourists.

They use the country's money to maintain their own estates, and others still praise them for their generosity.

This is Rockefeller.

The Rockefeller estate that Milo and Ariana are going to now is not this famous Rockefeller estate.

But it was later built in Long Island, and it is now their real base.

The new Rockefeller estate, it's not even marked on the map.

At night, around ten o'clock.

After driving for more than an hour, Milo finally felt that the speed of the convoy had slowed down.

He looked at Ariana.

After noticing her fiancé's expression, Ariana whispered, "We're almost there."

Milo nodded, and soon the convoy drove onto a winding mountain road.

At the end of the winding mountain road is an ancient, low-key yet grand gate.

In the passenger seat, little Arthur's uncle, Ariana's grandfather's personal butler, greeted them at the door.

Butler Salzberg led Milo into the huge and low-key manor castle.

"Miss, the master and Reverend Blackburn are waiting for Mr. Blackburn in the South Study. And the lady is waiting in your house for you to come over and talk."

In the first living room, he and Ariana separated.

"Milo, then... I'll go over there." Ariana said softly.

Milo nodded slightly.

Ariana was led away by the maid, and Butler Salzberg smiled and said, "Mr. Blackburn, this way."

Milo had a calm expression and motioned for Salzberg to lead the way.

Slowly, the two walked to the door of a reception room.

"Reverend Blackburn and my master are inside, Mr. Blackburn, please..."

Milo walked in and the door was gently closed by Salzberg behind him.

There were two old men waiting for him in the room, and the one with a smile on his face was his great-uncle Benjamin.

The other is Ariana's grandfather, David Rockefeller, grandson of John, the founder of the Rockefeller family.

David was in the wine closet, selecting his next drink, when Milo came in.

Seeing him come in, Ariana's grandfather smiled and asked, "Brandy, or whiskey?"

"Brandy, after all, I just drank whiskey." Milo answered casually.

After more than an hour on the road, he had already figured out what he should do next.

Milo is very calm now, especially since Great-Uncle Benjamin is here too.

"Well, since you said you wanted brandy, let's have whiskey."

David made his decision and pulled out the bottle and glass from the liquor cabinet.

Benjamin, who was sitting on the sofa next to him, laughed and couldn't help but shook his head slightly.

Milo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to let the other party bring the wine and the glass over.

Old David said no more and quietly filled the three glasses with wine.

"At your age, I think red wine is more suitable for you." The atmosphere in the room was a little strange. After thinking about it, Milo chose to speak first, "Whether it is brandy or whiskey, the alcohol content is too high."

"That's right, so I usually drink more red wine. But isn't our dear Archbishop here today? I believe the Lord will forgive me for not paying enough attention to my health."

David filled his glass with wine and spoke humorously, which seemed quite humorous.

"Whether or not to forgive you is the Lord's job. I am only responsible for conveying your voice to God."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Benjamin took the glass and said casually.

"Ha..." David laughed and then raised his glass.

Then, the three of them clinked their glasses and each took a sip of wine.

Perhaps because it was carefully collected by the Rockefeller family, the wine was stronger than Milo had imagined. He was unprepared and almost choked.

"Tell me about those things in Silicon Valley... um, yes, it's called the Internet. Tell me what you think about this industry."

The old man stared at Milo closely, his expression looking somewhat serious. "A few days ago, my friend complained to me that the kid from Doudou City was trying to steal the bread from his knife."

"internet?"

Milo answered confidently, with the unique certainty that comes from knowing the history behind it, "In my opinion, the performance of the Internet in the future will definitely be better than you expect. I think it won't be long before the influence of this industry becomes bigger and bigger. And then, together with Silicon Valley, we will change the world."

The Internet has indeed achieved this, and the subsequent extension of mobile Internet has emerged.

In some ways, they can be seen as the culmination of the third industrial revolution.

That is the information revolution.

"Huh? Is that your opinion?" David looked slightly surprised, and the old man looked at Benjamin next to him.

Benjamin shook his glass and shook his head. “Don’t look at me. You know I only know how to serve the Lord. I don’t understand these.”

David groaned.

The Blackburn family has always been best at debate.

In old David's intelligence system, the young Blackburn has performed very well in the past six months.

But at its core, his character has not changed and is very bad.

Two hours ago, this guy was at a banquet attended by celebrities.

Acting like a country tavern thug.

But he could actually say these words now, and he was so confident.

Did the Blackburn family teach him that? Or was that the way Boston saw it?

Then, David shook his head slightly in his heart.

Brothers John and Benjamin don't have this ability, nor do their children and nephews.

These Blackburns can only debate scriptures and at most create some Capitol Hill stories.

As for Boston... this is not a direction they are good at either.

Looking at the tall and handsome young man in front of her, her granddaughter was very attracted to him.

David thought about how his intelligence agents couldn't track down the original author of "The Da Vinci Code".

Finally they decided that perhaps the work was really created by Milo.

Could it be that these words are really Milo’s own opinion?
