Chapter 445 - 373 NVIDIA Corporation
In addition to Tesla, Link also held a 16.5% stake in Twitter and owned 450,000 shares of Amazon stock.
Currently, Twitter has not gone public, but after three rounds of financing, its market value has reached 1.8 billion US dollars, making the 16.5% stake worth approximately 280 million.
This year, Amazon shook off the impact of the financial crisis with its stock price rising from 336 US dollars at the beginning of the year to 396 now, bringing its market value to 68.8 billion US dollars.
The 450,000 shares of Amazon were worth around 182 million US dollars.
Together, these assets brought his net worth to around 1.2 billion US dollars, neither the 1 billion mentioned by The Wall Street Journal nor the 1.5 billion estimated by the New York Post.
As for the money from his tours, record sales, and boxing matches, some had not yet been received, and the portion that had been received was successively invested into stocks of Tesla and Twitter, so they could not be added together cumulatively.
He then inquired about good investment opportunities currently available from Kathy.
Kathy handed over a tablet, which displayed a document with potential investment projects selected by the re
"Link, on a date?"
"Tom, this is Miss Kathy Wood, my investment manager,"
Link introduced.
Tom laughed heartily, greeted Kathy, and since both were from the finance industry and well-acquainted with Wall Street, they had heard of each other; Tom had a celebrity daughter, and Kathy was an emerging star in investment banking.
"Link, your investment in Tesla was impressive; many Wall Street consortia were afraid to get involved, but you had the courage—remarkable."
Tom praised.
"That's all thanks to Kathy."
"On Wall Street, although the manager is important, it's rare for clients to trust us and give us their money to handle,"
Tom adjusted his glasses and said.
Link smiled, mentioned the possibility of working together, and prepared to take his leave.
Tom nodded in agreement and before leaving, he told him that Taylor was pregnant and not very emotionally stable, hoping he would take the time to visit her and preferably not say anything upsetting to anger her.
Link understood his meaning, smiled lightly, and then parted ways with Tom, continuing his conversation with Kathy.
Tom sat in the booth opposite for three or four minutes, properly finishing a cup of coffee, and then left with the lady.
As Link watched his retreating figure, he felt that Mrs. Andrea also had it tough, constantly busy with Taylor's matters and having no time to take care of the home; now her husband was out finding a younger woman behind her back, and he wondered how she would feel if she knew.
But he had no intention of telling; this was Taylor's family affair, and it seemed he wasn't in a position to intervene now.
Thinking of Taylor, he picked up his phone and tried sending a message, surprisingly discovering he had been unblocked.
"I just ran into your dad."
That was the first message, and it went through.
"I'm discussing some work on Wall Street, happened to see Tom around; it's nothing much, just wanted to ask how you're doing? I'd like to come see you, could we schedule a visit?"
That was the second message, still successfully sent.
"It was my fault for getting you pregnant that night on April 13th, after going at it for three hours straight, leaving you unable to move even a finger. I asked if you could forgive me just once, not to leave, but you were still determined to go.
I was very angry then, acted on impulse, and secretly took off the condom, thinking I could use this way to keep you. I've reflected on it many times afterward and know I did something unforgivable and stupid.
Two months passed without any news of your pregnancy, I thought it hadn't succeeded, felt disappointed, yet relieved that I hadn't hurt you again.
A while ago when I returned from South Korea, I suddenly heard you were pregnant, which to me is undoubtedly great news. Our child will definitely be as smart and beautiful as you and as strong as me. I'm really looking forward to seeing the baby born. Although I'm not a good boyfriend, I will strive to be a good father, please give me a chance."
That was the third message.
"I'd like to play the piano for the baby while you're pregnant, maybe they'll grow up to be a singer too, what do you think?"
"Are you attending the MTV award ceremony the day after tomorrow?"
After sending seven or eight messages without a response, he checked the time and told Taylor he had to go.
Ding-dong!
As he and Kathy reached the door, his phone received a message.
"I can play the piano, better than you. The child is mine, and I will take good care of them; you don't need to worry. Ivanka... is a nice woman, more suitable for you than I am,"
Taylor said.
Link was somewhat surprised; Taylor, usually sharp-tongued, complimenting Ivanka?
"What did you talk about last time?"
"It's none of your business."
"I hope to have time to visit you and the child. They say children who grow up with a father are more masculine. Fat James, you know him, a single-parent family, grew up with his mother, and his personality became more fearful and timid. I hope to contribute to our child's upbringing."
"No need, I get angry just seeing you. It's better for you and the child if you don't appear in front of me."
"The child needs me."
After sending the message, he was shown as not a friend.
