Yang Jing's words left everyone around him a little confused.
China and the United States are not only separated geographically by the Pacific Ocean, but also culturally by almost half a world. So whether it was Old Mike or Christopher Mendes, they could not understand what the relationship between "master and apprentice" was.
However, they quickly expressed their support for the boss's approach. It was also because of the cultural differences that Old Mike and his friends did not think there was anything wrong with Yang Jing's actions.
Inheritance is actually a very common phenomenon in the Western world, and the person who inherits the estate does not necessarily have to be a direct relative of the deceased. Many people will donate all their property directly to charity after their death. Some heirs have never even seen the deceased before inheriting the estate. What's more, the deceased may even be a dog or a cat.
Anyway, in the United States, inheritance is a very strange thing. The big boss will at least find a person to be the heir, which is better than the big boss finding a dog or a cat to inherit the dragon fund!
Today, the boss gave away shares worth over 100 billion US dollars at once. The company's core executives are naturally overjoyed. As for who the boss will let inherit the Dragon Fund, that is the boss's personal matter. Those of them who do the hard work just need to manage the company for the boss. No matter how much the boss thinks about it, he will not give the Dragon Fund to you to inherit.
But Old Mike heard something from Yang Jing's words, so after everyone continued to party, Old Mike pulled Yang Jing aside and asked in a low voice: "Cole, I don't care who you will hand over the Dragon Fund to in the end, I will definitely help you take good care of the Dragon Fund. But you just said that you can still fight for another 20 years, what does that mean?"
Yang Jing smiled slightly, "Mike, did you understand the meaning?"
"Of course I heard it. Cole, don't interrupt me. You have to explain to me what these twenty years mean."
Seeing Old Mike's serious expression, Yang Jing nodded and said, "Okay, I didn't intend to hide this from you. Since you asked now, I'll tell you."
"Mike, do you believe in the mysterious metaphysics from that Eastern country?"
Old Mike was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Is it like an exorcist or a sacrifice?"
"That's about right. Anyway, it's a very mysterious thing that has been passed down for thousands of years."
Old Mike nodded. "Existence is reasonable. This may sound unscientific, but since it has been passed down for thousands of years, there must be a reason for its existence. It's just that we can't explain it scientifically yet."
"Well, that's good. Since you believe in metaphysics, I don't need to explain more about this." Yang Jing picked up a bottle of red wine and poured it for Old Mike first, then poured some for himself. He then continued, "As I said just now, although I am an American, the knowledge I learned since childhood was taught to me by my master. My master is a very magical and great person. What I learned from him is less than one tenth of what I have learned."
"I do believe what you said. If your master hadn't taught you so many magical things, how could you have found so many gold treasures? Also, that slap just now really scared me. If you slapped someone with that slap, wouldn't it be a broken bone? So, Cole, your master must be a very, very powerful person. I have no doubt about that."
Yang Jing smiled bitterly and nodded, "Mike, since you believe in my master, if I tell you that my master once told me that my life span is only 76 years, do you believe it?"
"Seventy-six years?" Old Mike was stunned for a moment, then he hesitated for a moment and asked in surprise: "You are fifty-six years old this year, which means you still have twenty years to live?"
"Yes! That's true. My master is a scholar, and it seems that there is nothing in this world that he can't see through. Moreover, in Eastern metaphysics, a person's life, especially life span, is actually predetermined from birth. Maybe some things can be changed after birth, but life span cannot be changed. In other words, from the moment I was born, my life span was destined to be only 76 years. I have calculated this myself, and it is indeed true."
After a pause, Yang Jing laughed at himself: "Seventy-six years of life is actually very long. It is much better than those who died in car accidents, and much better than those who suffer from congenital diseases. What do you think, Mike?"
Old Mike nodded silently. He was already seventy years old this year and had a very thorough understanding of many things, so he had no objection to what Yang Jing said.
"Twenty years, twenty years..." Old Mike kept shaking his head, then raised his head and said, "Cole, I am confident that I can take care of the Dragon Fund for you for another twenty years, but I am afraid my body will not allow it. In twenty years, I will be ninety-two years old, and I am worried that I will not live to that age."
"Haha, Mike, don't worry about that. You have a long life ahead of you! Maybe you won't live to be a hundred, but you can still be alive and kicking in your nineties. Well, after the banquet is over, I'll give you a few injections. I guarantee that your body will be the same as Chris's just now."
Old Mike was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Is it like the acupuncture you used to treat Vivian a few years ago? My God, that was really a magical spell. Now Vivian even dislikes me for being old..."
Yang Jing smiled happily, "Don't worry, after I give you the injection, you will become as young as Vivian, and then she won't think you are old."
"What about Henry and the others? They are not young anymore..." Old Mike asked this question after a slight hesitation.
"Don't worry, there are such benefits! I also want you to live a few more years and help me take care of the Dragon Fund. Mike, in the next twenty years, I will come to the company less and less, and I will start looking for my disciples. It is very difficult to find a suitable disciple in our school, so I may travel all over the world in the next period of time. Therefore, you will have to work harder for the Dragon Fund."
"Haha, Cole, isn't this how I have been spending the past twenty years? Don't worry, I will continue to take care of the Dragon Fund for you for another twenty years."
"Well, then we have a deal!"
"Okay! It's a deal!"
The two people's hands hit each other heavily, just like when they first met 20 years ago...
PS: I really want to slap myself in the face, why is my mouth so greedy? I usually have egg pancakes or steamed bread and tofu pudding for breakfast, but this morning I was greedy and had a meat sandwich, and then I was miserable. My stomach was churning all morning, and I was so hungry that I could hardly walk, and I really couldn't write anymore...
