The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 144

Chapter 144

In fact, Scarlett did not spend that much to buy the trade center. The trade center took five years to be completed, and a total investment of 500 billion dollars was spent on the construction. The price of the center would surely be higher than the invested amount. 

Thus, even Yuna thought it could not possibly be bought without at least a trillion dollars. Thea was completely shocked by the numbers. 

She was just an ordinary citizen and had never been exposed to upper-class society. Never in her life had she seen that much money. A trillion dollars was an astronomical figure to her. 

What were a trillion dollars in cash? 

It was not non-liquid assets. 

Take the Callahans as an example. Although they had assets worth more than one billion dollars, it was the value of the company. It was the total of all the family businesses added up together. In terms of cash, it was considered adequate if a family like the Callahans had one hundred million dollars. 

As for the Celestial Group, their market value was hundreds of billions. 

This value was their non-liquid assets. 

Once the Celestial Group encountered a problem such as insufficient capital and lost its ability to operate normally, it would lead to a decline in market value. In an instant, these hundreds of billions would decrease to tens of billions or even a few billion. In the worst case, they would be completely useless, and the cooperation would be in serious debt. 

The group of business bigwigs gathered together and discussed the matter of entering the commercial center. 

Thea was not familiar with these things. She listened attentively and took it as a chance to learn. 

Meanwhile, James sat alone in the lounge. He was dressed very casually, and since he was merely a live-in son-in-law, no one bothered to greet him. He was happy to be left alone.
