Because we are going to set up some business on this island, which involves interests, we take it more seriously.

A month ago, Han Chudong also went to Hawaii and bought a piece of coastal land with a total area of ​​more than 50,000 acres. He only decided to invest money to build roads, cultivate orchards and coffee plantations, and build resorts. In comparison, he definitely paid more attention to St. Barts.

In his spare time, he submitted application materials and registered an investment bank named "Oracle", a word that also means "a person or book that can provide valuable information" and "authority".

In the future, there will be an enterprise-level software service company translated as "Oracle" and also called this name. He originally wanted to work for a subsidiary of Oracle, but was ultimately rejected. He chose this name to create an investment bank, perhaps with the intention of taking the opportunity for revenge.

In fact, Han Chudong also considered the name "Apple Investment Bank", but felt that it was too easy to remember and did not fit in with his original intention of making a fortune in silence, so he gave up.

Oracle is a good choice. It is not a commonly used word and no one will deliberately remember it. If it is a little low-key in daily life, it will be difficult for others to connect this company with Han Chudong.

As long as the shareholding does not exceed the prescribed proportion, the name of Oracle Investment Bank will not appear in the list of major shareholders, and there is no need to disclose specific information to the public. It is suitable for casting a wide net and purchasing stocks of listed companies for long-term holding.

It is still a shell company for now. After a while, some funds will be transferred from the account opened in the Swiss Bank Group to Oracle Investment Bank. Then it will be ready for business. Its main target is Silicon Valley companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange.

People often worry about not being able to make money. People like Han Chudong who worry that they will have too much money in the future are extremely rare around the world.

Before he knew it, he has become the world's second richest man. According to the latest net worth valuation, he is only 300 million US dollars away from Paul Getty Sr. If he chooses to list his company now, there is a high probability that his total book value will surpass that of the old oil tycoon.

Under such circumstances, it is no wonder that he can't wait to transfer his assets and go from open to secret.

When the New Year holiday is over, Han Chudong will publicly announce that Mason United Group has obtained huge financing, but in fact the 15% of shares that were transferred out are still in his hands.

If necessary, he will probably donate a certain amount of Mason United Group shares by establishing a charitable trust fund. As the old saying goes, people are afraid of being famous just as pigs are afraid of being fat. It's always better to be careful. He no longer cares about being in the limelight. Safety is the most important thing.

If you don't plan early in this era of information blockage, it will probably be a bit troublesome to create a similar shell company in the future.

Han Chudong was confident that the World Wide Web would appear at least ten years earlier than in his previous life, which meant that big years for the information technology industry would most likely appear earlier, and the benefits behind it would be astonishingly huge.

The reason why he didn't plan to stay in St. Barts for a long time was that he was anxious to go back and start a business again, and to recruit people to improve the Alto computer...

————————————

New Year's beginning.

Time magazine named Han Chudong the business leader of the year and said that his personal wealth increased the most globally last year.

Sitting on the plane flying back to Los Angeles from Miami, Han Chudong just smiled after reading the report about himself. Perhaps he was the only one who knew that this was just the beginning.

He balances work and life, and after a short break, he has to devote himself to business again. Leaving aside his previous business, he has more important things to do right now: one is to set up a research institute to improve and develop Alto technology, and the other is to prepare to establish a civilian version of the Internet.

There is no point in the latter being anxious, for the Internet was only five years old. It was first used for military connections under an agreement drawn up by the U.S. military, and then four computers at UCLA, Stanford Research Institute, the University of California, and the University of Utah were connected.

So far, the plan to connect one hundred universities and five major supercomputer centers is almost realized, with the main purpose being scientific research with an emphasis on military aspects.

The development of the Internet is still in its infancy, but this does not prevent Han Chudong from trying to concentrate manpower and financial resources to try to formulate some agreements and rules in advance so that he can get a bigger piece of the pie during the development process.

After his material troubles were solved, Han Chudong is now very patient and likes to do such challenging and meaningful things. He even has the idea of ​​writing a script outline himself to let people today appreciate the cutting-edge technology of the future.

If he doesn't consider making money, he can use "science fiction movies" or "science fiction novels" to inspire people, which should reduce the detours in the IT age, concentrate the wisdom of the world's smartest engineers, and enable human society to enter the information age as soon as possible. This makes him extremely excited.

Honestly speaking, rather than guarding a huge fortune that he could not spend in his lifetime, Han Chudong would rather use his computer to play League of Legends, watch TV online, and video chat with others. He is fed up with the life situation where even his satellite phone has no signal from time to time, and he does not have the patience to wait until he is old to play with a smartphone.

What's more, leaking secrets about the future in advance does not mean that he will suffer heavy losses. He has the opportunity to start his own business during the development period and invest in excellent Internet companies created by others. Doing this is far more meaningful than donating 100 million or even 1 billion US dollars to the poor.

The different altitudes gave him different ideas. After getting off the plane, he asked Helena Bergman in a tangled manner: "If, I mean if, there is an opportunity to change the current state of global society in front of me, then I should really practice it, right?"

"... Most of the time I have no idea what you are talking about or thinking. It is definitely a bad idea to ask me this kind of question." Helena knew her own ability very well. She was just an ordinary girl who couldn't even get into an Ivy League school. She was frightened by Han Chudong's words about changing the social status quo. She continued, "As long as you don't become a fanatical anti-** activist and use the money to support the army, I think it's fine."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Han Chudong was not sure whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Am I that kind of person? I mean using technology to change life, but that might have some impact on my business and make the future uncertain."

"But no one can predict the future, otherwise how can it be called the future?"

After listening to this, Han Chudong wanted to say that he knew most of it, but things had changed because of his appearance. Once the information age arrives ahead of time, the change will be even greater.

That is why people are struggling over whether to give up a future that is almost predictable and invest a large amount of money to bet that the information age in their memory can appear ahead of time.

He sighed deeply and said as if talking to himself: "Yes, from another perspective, breaking the status quo can make me more looking forward to my future life. Maybe I should give it a try."

This was another sentence that Helena couldn't understand. She had long been accustomed to Han Chudong's weirdness.

For example, at the end of the previous year, when they first talked at Sun Laosan's home appliance repair shop in Chinatown, Han Chudong talked about a lot of research topics that she still didn't understand.

The more she got to know him, the more Helena felt that Han Chudong was an amazing person. Not only was he good at making money, but his ideas were also different from those of ordinary people...
