The speed at which Hannah was making money made Elaine feel extremely angry and jealous.
It was at this moment that she came to a realization that Hannah had turned her life around completely, and she was doing it in a fast and hard manner.
At this rate of earning tens of thousands of dollars a day, Hannah’s annual income was at least ten to twenty million dollars.
Although Elaine was living in a villa that cost more than one hundred million dollars, she would never be able to earn so much money even in eight lifetimes.
Moreover, even if Elaine did not understand the internet, she also perceived the trend. She said with flushed red eyes, “Hannah has really discovered a gold mine this time. Based on this trend, I’m afraid that her earnings will only get bigger and bigger over time... She might be earning tens of thousands of dollars a day now, but she might be able to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars after a while, and she might even be able to earn a hundred million dollars in a year...”
With that said, Elaine suddenly howled and cried as she shouted loudly, “God, how can you let a bitch like Hannah turn her life around?! You cannot let her turn her life around even if you let a dog turn its life around!”
Claire could not stand it anymore and quickly comforted her, “Mom, let’s just live our lives well. Why should we be bothered with other people’s affairs? We shouldn’t let other people’s affairs affect our own mood.”
Elaine cried and said, “What do you know?! Watching her make money makes me feel even more uncomfortable than if I lost money myself! If God is willing, I would rather use my leg in exchange for Hannah’s downfall so that she will return to her original state!”
Claire asked her with a puzzled expression, “Mom... you... why are you doing this?”
“You don’t understand...” Elaine lay on the bed and cried loudly. She sobbed in distress as she said, “I was bullied the most by two people in my whole life. The first person is Lady Wilson, and the other is Hannah! Everyone can live a good life in this world, but not the two of them!”
Charlie sighed and thought to himself, ‘My father-in-law downstairs is lovelorn and crying miserably. My mother-in-law upstairs is crying and howling because she’s jealous of Hannah. Today’s fortune seems to be unfavorable for our family harmony...’
In fact, this was the way capital made money. Spot a project, buy it at a low price, then wait for the time to come. One would easily be able to make ten to twenty times the profit when the time came.
Peter Thiel, the investor who first invested in Facebook, had invested five hundred thousand US dollars in Facebook, and when he finally left the market, he had earned one billion US dollars, which was twenty thousand times the rate of return.
This was what Charlie’s mother, Ashley, was best at. Most of the Silicon Valley companies that she had invested in had achieved a growth of more than ten thousand times.
It was also because Charlie had started investing in the short video platform early that he also paid more attention to the current live broadcast e-commerce. He knew very well that there were many anchors such as Hannah on the internet, but no matter what kind of story or persona they came up with, their ultimate purpose was just one, and that was to make money.
Even those super-rich people who invested hundreds of millions or billions of dollars on mansions for nothing would post videos on the short video platform every day and do live broadcasts to sell goods, all just to make money.
