Chapter 264 The Legend of the Wu Family
Apple is a publicly traded company, and its products are currently in their fifth generation.
With the latest smart technology and the most dazzling product design, owning the latest Apple phone is now a trend among young people around the world.
Wu Tao was elevated to a pedestal and became an internationally renowned tech tycoon.
Apple's stock has surpassed one trillion dollars and continues to grow.
Those shareholders and investment banks all made a fortune, and they admired and trusted Wu Tao more and more.
Wu Tao did not completely dedicate himself to his career; promoting the Apple phone was simply a choice he made based on his memory to find the optimal solution.
It's impossible to keep an old monster who frequently travels between different worlds working.
Striving for a career is so that one can better enjoy life. Now, Wu Tao is famous and wealthy, and surrounded by countless top beauties.
Everyone knows Wu Tao is unlikely to get married, but that doesn't stop women who want to take a chance.
They always felt that they were the exception, and that maybe one day they could become Mrs. Wu.
Wu Tao's net worth has long exceeded 200 billion yuan. His wholly-owned Jiutian Capital is now worth 100 billion yuan. With his 15% stake in Apple, Wu Tao has just topped the list of the world's richest people with assets of 230 billion yuan.
How could a big shot like that not have any beautiful women interested in him?
In addition, even though Wu Tao is over forty years old, he looks as young as someone in their thirties.
To be chosen by the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Wu Tao's appearance in this life must be exceptional.
After further modifications, Wu Tao became comparable to a major celebrity; it's just that he time-traveled too late. Otherwise, Bai Ningbing definitely wouldn't have cheated on him, since the modified Wu Tao could satisfy almost any woman's needs.
Of course, if the original owner hadn't been harmed to death by Bai Ningbing, Wu Tao wouldn't have transmigrated. So every sip and every bite is preordained.
Wu Tao has now handed over the entire Apple Technology Company to professional managers. He has stepped back from the forefront, only needing to control the direction, and he doesn't even personally manage his wholly-owned Jiutian Capital.
Wu Tao will not be blinded by so-called career success; beautiful women, delicious food, and beautiful scenery are what he pursues in his life.
Having completed his basic mission during this time travel, Wu Tao felt that with the Nine Heavens Capital and Apple Technology Company at his disposal, he could live a happy life even if he indulged in debauchery every day.
On his sixtieth birthday, Wu Tao handed over Jiutian Capital to one of his daughters and Apple Technology to one of his sons.
Wu Tao took 10 billion yuan in cash with him and chose to retire.
The whole world was shocked by Wu Tao's bold move. After all, unlike others who tried to maintain tight control over their families until their deaths, Wu Tao said he would let go, and he really did.
They wouldn't understand that these things mean nothing to an old monster. Even someone who could travel through time repeatedly wouldn't be blinded by the glory of a single lifetime.
In a mere century, Wu Tao has no desire to have his time consumed by various tasks, signatures, and meetings.
Even if the company encounters huge problems later, it will have nothing to do with him.
Wu Tao now has more than 100 children, and each of his adult children will receive a 50 million yuan start-up fund when they turn 18.
Even if you squander all the money, Wu Tao won't care.
However, once they reach adulthood, they will no longer receive a single penny; this 50 million fund is essentially a buyout fee.
Those who fail will no longer receive support from Wu Tao, and ending up on the streets is their own choice.
Those who succeed can participate in the competition for succession. Among them, the most outstanding are Wu Yanyan, the daughter of a singer, and Wu Guodong, the son of a supermodel.
Wu Yanyan received a 50 million yuan startup fund and, through three years of hard work, built a company with a market value of over 500 million yuan.
With a startup fund of 50 million yuan, Wu Guodong worked hard and built his company into a company with a market value of over 1 billion yuan.
Their excellence is worlds apart from that of the other children.
It is precisely because they are both so outstanding that they were able to inherit Jiutian Capital and Apple Technology Company respectively.
Wu Tao had many children, so naturally not all of them were elites. Some of them received 50 million after reaching adulthood and then began to squander it recklessly.
Some people experience repeated failures during their entrepreneurial journey, while others choose to deposit their money in the bank to earn interest.
Everyone has their own choices, and Wu Tao, observing the whole process, couldn't interfere with anyone's decision.
Those who lost nothing or squandered their money eventually became the laughingstock of the industry.
Unfortunately, they never had the chance to enter the Wu family manor again. Apart from some children under the age of eighteen, only Wu Yanyan and Wu Guodong were allowed to enter.
Even if they beg for food or wander the streets, the Wu family will not interfere.
Including Wu Tao's lovers, in addition to the jewelry, clothes, designer bags, luxury cars, and real estate they received during their relationships, the amount of money they received was also calculated based on the number of children they had when they left.
Some women can have four or five children and earn tens of millions of dollars. Adding the wealth they gained during their relationships, they can basically live a wealthy life as long as they don't cause any trouble.
Some children who fail will return to their mothers' homes. At this point, it depends on the mother's attitude; some women simply don't care about such incompetent children.
Some women may be soft-hearted and choose to take in their children; ultimately, everyone has the right to choose their own way of life.
Wu Tao was very resolute in this regard; he would not give any more money to the women and children who left him, except for the conditions stipulated in advance.
Many people gossip behind his back, saying that Wu Tao was too cruel. But those who are truly in power understand that if Wu Tao hadn't been ruthless, even hundreds of billions of assets wouldn't have been enough to exploit so many people in his family.
Now, with over a hundred children and dozens of women, it only cost 10 billion in the end.
Wu Tao was never without women around him, and even when he was ninety years old, a woman still bore him two children.
Wu Tao had nearly two hundred children in her lifetime, and her descendants numbered almost a thousand.
However, apart from the heirs, none of the other people's children ever see Wu Tao.
Nine Heavens Capital and Apple Technology Company have also continued to expand under the leadership of several outstanding heirs of the Wu family.
By the time Wu Tao was almost 100 years old, the Wu family's assets had reached nearly 500 billion.
With so many descendants spread across various industries around the world, these elites have banded together for mutual support, forming a powerful force.
Wu Tao has really stopped managing the company since he was sixty years old, only receiving billions of yuan in dividends regularly.
Even though Jiutian Capital and Apple Technology Company faced several major crises, everyone thought Wu Tao would step in to handle them.
But Wu Tao actually travels all over the world every day, as if Jiutian Capital and Apple Technology Company were not companies he founded himself.
This carefree attitude earned the utmost respect from everyone.
This also made the descendants of those powerful families green with envy. They didn't want to be the crown prince for sixty years, but their fathers were just too powerful.
Wu Tao's behavior has also left a tradition for the future successors of the Wu family.
When the heirs reach the age of sixty, they will completely relinquish power.
The tradition of the Wu family descendants has actually made the Wu family a family that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Every time they look back at their family history, they express their deepest admiration for Wu Tao, the founder of the Wu family.
If it weren't for this ancestor, how could the Wu family have achieved its current status, with members residing in dozens of countries around the world?
Hundreds of the world's top 500 companies were founded by descendants of the Wu family.
The Wu family's bloodline was so powerful that it once tried to control the international situation.
Meanwhile, Wu Tao was already creating his own new legend in other worlds.
