I'm A Quadrillionaire novel Chapter 387

Chapter 387
“The point of today’s gathering is not only a chance for everyone to meet up and talk to each other but also because there’s someone I’d like to introduce to all of you.”
Then someone went up the stage.
David took a look at the person and realized that it was Hugo, the head of East League International’s Capital City investment team.
‘Nice!
He was surprised to know that East League had formed connections with such prominent figures in Capital City’s business industry so quickly.
This meant he could spend money even faster from now on.
David’s slight displeasure from being dragged around and introduced to various people by Mindy instantly brightened and he could almost see countless lavish points waving him to come closer.
“Allow me to introduce all of you, this is Hugo Carlos, the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team. Many of you might not know about East League Capitals, so let me put it this way. They were the one behind the great one hundred-billion-dollar donation that went to building schools in impoverished mountainous areas.”
The crowd below the stage began to lively converse among themselves once they heard Zayne.
They might not know about East League Capitals, but they have heard about the one hundred billion-dollar donation that went to building schools.
This was the first time any Somerland organization donated a sum as huge as one hundred billion to build schools in impoverished mountainous areas.
The fact that the company could have the word “capitals” in its name also meant that it had a net worth of at least a trillion dollars. This was an implicit regulation within the business world.
Businesses worth less than a hundred billion can only call themself a “company”; those worth between a hundred billion to a trillion are called “groups”; those worth between a trillion to five trillion are called “capitals”; and those worth more than five trillion are called ” conglomerates.”
This was agreed upon among business industries worldwide.
This allowed people to grasp a general idea of the business’ size from its name.
Businesses big enough to be a conglomerate were influential enough to control their local economy.
“East League Capitals may be young, but it had accumulated a net worth of over a trillion dollars in just a few months. They are a business miracle. Now, let’s have Hugo here say a few words.”
“Good evening, everyone. I’m Hugo, the head of East League Capitals’ Capital City investment team. East League Capitals is a business filled with passion, energy, and hope. The reason behind our astonishing achievements in such a short time is completely attributed to our chairman’s wise leadership. East League Capitals is planning to shift its focus to the international metropolis that is Capital City, so if anyone present has any nice projects they need investments for, please do not hesitate to look for us. As our chairman likes to say, rather misinvest than miss out on a company of great potential. Thank you, everyone!”
Countless applauds rang out below the stage after Hugo finished speaking.
David’s cheeks flushed slightly as well when he heard the applause.
He felt rather embarrassed when Hugo attributed East League Capitals’ current success to his wise leadership
After all, all he did was provide them with money. The management of East League Capitals had always been under Pearl.
Plus, he had no recollection of ever saying he would rather misinvest than miss out on a company of great potential.
If he did, he remembered nothing of it.
It was at this moment that he realized how big a company East League Capitals had become.
It was worth over a trillion now.
When he had only ever spent around a few hundred billion.
Now that he thought about it, he realized that he had made quite a lot of profit At this moment, Mindy walked over to David and Celia. “Do you see him? That’s Hugo Carlos, the person I wanted to introduce the both of you to. He’s a very important person, with a great amount of liquid cash. East League Capitals spent hundreds of billion in Capital City over the past month or so, and they’re also the second-largest shareholder of Beautylish Group after myself. Be respectful when you talk to him later, understood?”
“Yes, Mom.”
“Yes, Mrs. Young.”
Celia and David replied at the same time.
David did not expect Hugo to be the person Mindy wanted to introduce them to.
If that was the case, he would not need to look for Elsa at all.
All he had to do was wait and Mindy would find out his true wealth.
“HC Property Group will be cooperating in-depth with East League Capitals this time to strive to achieve even greater results! Of course, anyone with great projects in need of investments could also seek East League out. After all, they’re very wealthy and in no way stingy with their investments. Alright, now that I’ve said what I wanted to, I’ll leave all of you to continue your conversations. Have a nice night, everyone!”
With that, Zayne got off the stage alongside Hugo.
The guests in the hall continued to talk to each other.
Mindy then brought Celia and David to look for Hugo.
Only to realize that Hugo and Zayne had gone into a room backstage to discuss something important.
The three of them had no other choice but to wait outside.
More than ten minutes later, Hugo showed no signs of coming out.
Mindy left to talk to acquaintances, but also told David to stay close by so that she could look for them again when necessary.
Once Mindy left, David pulled Celia backstage.
“Where are we going, David?”
“There’s someone I want you to meet.”
Then David directly pushed open Hugo’s door and pulled Celia into the room.
In the room, Hugo was currently discussing the details of the business cooperation with Zayne when David and Celia suddenly entered. Hugo and Zayne stopped talking to look at the younger two.
“I have a proposal I’d like to discuss with Mr. Hugo,” David declared straightforwardly.
Zayne looked at David speechlessly.
He wondered who David was and why he was so impolite, barging into the room without knocking on the door at all.
David must have seen that Zayne and Hugo were talking, yet he had barged in without a thought.
Zayne was about to shoo David away when Hugo spoke.
“Mr. Yurik, I’ll look for you again later to discuss the details of the cooperation. Could you please give us the room? There’s something I’d like to discuss with this young man.”
Zayne did not understand what was going on.
Their cooperation involved tens of billions of dollars, yet Hugo did not seem to care about it at all.
Hugo acted as if talking to this rude young man was more important than their cooperation.
Despite his confusion, Zayne agreed to leave since Hugo had requested it and he did not want t o displease such a powerful potential business partner.
“Very well, Mr. Carlos. I’ll be entertaining a few guests outside, then,” Zayne replied.
“Thank you, Mr. Yurik!” Hugo thanked.
Zayne got up to leave and glanced at David when he passed by the latter as if trying to remember this impolite young man.
