Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"Uncle, there's actually another important matter I wanted to discuss with you when I came back this time."

Henry understood Gordon's good intentions, but he also had his own plans on how to deal with Ty.

Therefore, he frankly raised his own questions.

"oh?"

Upon hearing Henry's words, Gordon frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes;

After all, this was the first time Henry had used the word "discuss" in his conversation with him.

His body involuntarily leaned forward slightly, waiting with great interest for Henry to say what he would say next.

"What is it?"

"Uncle, as you know, I went to Hong Kong some time ago to handle some business."

However, during this time, I unexpectedly obtained an extraordinary piece of information.

Seeing that Gordon's attention was drawn, Henry slowly pulled a sealed envelope from his pocket and gently placed it on the table between the two of them.

"Intelligence reports that there is a hidden gold mine within India, estimated to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars."

Henry's tone became serious and mysterious: "At first, I also doubted the authenticity of this news, after all, such a thing sounds incredible."

I was prepared to set the matter aside to avoid making a fuss over being too trusting.

However, despite my subordinates' repeated persuasion and the enormous potential profits from the intelligence, I eventually sent a few good young men to investigate.

These are all experienced professionals who know how to operate discreetly and avoid attracting unnecessary attention.

Upon hearing this, Gordon quickly picked up the envelope and carefully examined the photograph inside.

In the end, heaven rewards those who persevere;

Two days ago they brought back encouraging news—the intelligence was accurate.

At this point, Henry's voice became excited, "There really is a hidden gold mine in India."

The photo shows a corner of the hidden temple.

"According to the information brought back by my men, the temple is extremely complex inside."

The underground area is divided into several secret chambers, each guarded by a heavy stone door.

The stone gate is carved with exquisite patterns, weighs over a thousand pounds, and is extremely difficult to open.

The most eye-catching feature is a stone gate surrounded by two rows of cobra statues.

They are so lifelike, as if they might leap out of the stone at any moment. The scales of each snake are exquisitely detailed, and their eyes are inlaid with gemstones, gleaming with an eerie light.

After racking their brains, they finally managed to open a crack in the stone door.

Using a flashlight, a final photo was taken, revealing a considerable number of gold artifacts and gold bars...

"Um...would it be convenient for you to tell me your source of information?!"

Gordon slowly put down the envelope in his hand, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, as if weighing the weight of each word.

His voice unconsciously carried a hint of urgency, and his eyes gradually shifted from initial surprise to doubt and deep thought.

Clearly, such a level of wealth is extremely impactful, even for a seasoned tycoon like him.

After a moment, he raised his head and stared sharply at Henry, as if trying to see through his words to the truth behind them.

Henry felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed his uncle's piercing gaze.

He sighed softly and said apologetically, "Uncle, this is indeed news I obtained by accident."

If this has caused you any trouble, I can only apologize.

However, compared to these minor details, I still believe that the enormous opportunities before us deserve further discussion and evaluation.

. . .

Silence fell in the room once again.

Gordon's gaze remained sharp, but his brows gradually relaxed.

He stood up and paced around the room, as if deep in thought.

His eyes would occasionally sweep over Henry, as if he were measuring his nephew's every expression and movement.

In the end, he stopped and did not press the matter further.

After all, he valued the enormous wealth before him more than any so-called intelligence sources.

Paul Getty, a man of exceptional talent, worked hard his entire life, yet only amassed a fortune of over 20 billion US dollars!

If this Indian secret treasure truly contains billions of dollars worth of gold, wouldn't the Getty family rise even higher and covet the very top of the empire?

Even if the road ahead is not so smooth;

A portion also needs to be allocated to grease the palms of various factions.

But it's still better than now!

"Heh, Henry, you've matured!"

Gordon walked to the window, turned his back to Henry, and gazed at the scenery outside, seemingly sorting out his thoughts.

"You did a great job this time. Such things should never be done hastily."

Could you tell me exactly how many you want?

His voice was deep and steady, but the power it contained was undeniable.

"Uncle, what do you think?"

Henry did not answer Gordon's question directly, but instead cleverly passed the ball back to the family leader.

"Are you testing me, Henry?"

Gordon, who was standing by the window posing pretentiously, clearly hadn't expected Henry to respond in this way;

He paused for a moment, then turned around and looked sharply at Henry.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the room became even more subtle, as if the air itself had frozen.

"Uncle, I just think that on such an important matter, we should discuss together to find the most suitable solution."

Henry remained calm and smiled. "After all, this is not only about personal interests, but also about the future of the entire family."

Gordon nodded, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"kindness."

He sat back down in his chair and lit another cigar: "Since you put it that way, let's discuss it together."

Gordon paused slightly, his tone becoming extremely serious: "This opportunity is indeed very rare, but we must also consider the risks and responsibilities."

This is no small sum of money, and mishandling it could have disastrous consequences.

Henry nodded in agreement.

The world in 79 was not as open and transparent as it would be in later years.

Especially in India, religious heritage is highly protected by national and local authorities.

If they want to ship out physical gold worth tens of billions of US dollars, they will inevitably face enormous pressure from the Indian government, religious groups, and the international community.

If discovered, it will not only trigger international controversy, but may also lead to serious legal consequences.

Even if they successfully transported the gold out, they would still have to contend with various factions within the United States.

These forces are intertwined, including the federal government, state governments, financial institutions, and even private conglomerates; each link presents a potential obstacle.

Under the Gold Reserve Act, private ownership of large amounts of gold is restricted.

If someone attempts to conceal or operate illegally, they are easily targeted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) or other regulatory agencies.

Of course, that's where Gordon's value lies!

If it weren't for these difficulties, Henry wouldn't have needed to share this enormous fortune!
