American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Jennifer even tried to share her abilities with Nidi.

The ability of the "Demon Body" to maintain eternal youth is fatally attractive to any girl.

Having been taken to the Abyss Altar by Jennifer, Nedy knows many of her best friend's secrets. Among them is the fact that Jennifer is attracted to Mike's body.

So, after Jennifer disappeared and Mike returned safely, Nidyl suspected that Mike was involved in her best friend's disappearance.

Mike vividly remembers that inquisitive look in his eyes.

“You mean, Nidyl Lesnicki?” Dennis thought for a moment after hearing the question and said, “Not long after you went to the town of Deford, that girl was taken away. After that, we haven’t heard from her since.”

“I vaguely remember, Niddy was taken away by two men in black suits and sunglasses…” Kelly suddenly interjected.

Based on Kelly's description, Mike was certain that the people who took Nydy away were from the Men in Black organization.

But why is that? Just because the girl and Jennifer are best friends?

"Did those two men in black say anything about Jennifer?" Mike asked Kelly.

“Mike, I know what you want to ask. Jennifer’s drowning was an accident, it has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to care about what other people think…” Kelly comforted Mike with heartache.

Before Jennifer disappeared, many people knew that she had dated Mike.

Therefore, after Jennifer died, many people pointed fingers at Mike, believing that he was responsible for Jennifer's death.

As a prominent figure in the local school, Jennifer had many admirers.

"That's not what I wanted to ask. I wanted to know if those two men in black said anything about Jennifer's suspected demonic possession?" Mike got to the point.

"What demonic possession? Didn't Jennifer just drown by accident?" Kelly seemed to have forgotten the rumors of Jennifer being possessed by a demon, and continued, "That child was such a pity, so young..."

The rumors that Jennifer was possessed by a demon and ate men caused quite a stir in the small town of Minnesota at the time.

However, Kelly seems to have no recollection of it at all, which is highly suspicious.

Having some suspicions, Mike then asked Dennis to confirm Jennifer's matter.

Unsurprisingly, he also forgot about the rumors of demonic possession.

Now Mike was certain that the two men in black who had visited the small town in Minnesota had definitely used a memory eraser in the town.

Clearly, the Men in Black are systematically covering up esoteric events from ordinary people.

Chapter 269 Millionaire

"By the way, Mike, are you sure you want to take over the family inheritance now?" After chatting about everyday things, Dennis asked about his biggest worry.

That's over a million yuan in assets, which is a huge sum of money given that the average monthly salary is only two or three thousand yuan these days.

Dennis was a little worried about whether a kid who had just turned sixteen could handle the money.

After all, it's not uncommon for newly rich people to squander their money and end up penniless again.

Moreover, the suggestion to do Mike a favor and let him take over the assets ahead of time was the opinion of the leaders of the welfare home.

If Dennis, as the guardian, were to say it, he would prefer to wait two years until Mike is more mature before taking over the assets.

“I really need that money right now, as seed money…” Mike answered affirmatively.

From Mike's answer, Dennis sensed that Mike had even greater ambitions.

This is precisely the most worrying situation...

Mike is now like a "rich second generation". As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he can live a stable life as a rich man.

Conversely, if Mike uses this money for venture capital or something similar, he could very well lose all of his principal.

Considering this situation, Dennis frowned and was about to speak up to persuade them.

“Alright, Dennis. Mike has a estate. And with us watching over it, nothing will happen…” Kelly reminded her husband.

This gentle wife also understood Mike's intentions.

However, she was thinking further ahead. Mike, who owned a fixed asset, had the capital to take risks.

The worst-case scenario is that Mike squanders the inheritance and then comes back to be a peaceful rancher.

“Alright, since you want to, I’ll take you to the notary office tomorrow to help you get your inheritance back.” Dennis wasn’t stupid. He looked at Mike and said seriously, “But I still have to remind you, you’re still too young. You’d better not spend that money recklessly.”

"I understand," Mike nodded, accepting the other person's concern.

After discussing the inheritance, the warm atmosphere at the dinner table returned to normal.

Next, Mike's praise of the food's deliciousness brought a happy smile to Kelly's face, the housewife.

The next morning, Dennis, as promised, took Mike and the orphanage staff to the local notary office.

After identity verification and a series of procedures including tax payment, Mike successfully received the huge inheritance of more than 1.2 million.

With his current assets of over a million, Migo could easily have entered the ranks of the wealthy.

With this capital of over a million, Mike was confident that he could quickly become a multi-millionaire, or even more, in this era, thus joining the ranks of the capitalists.

“Mr. Mike, if you need it, the welfare home can provide you with a financial team to take care of this money for you.” The welfare home staff approached Mike, who had received the inheritance.

It's quite common in America to have a professional team of economic advisors managing the wealth of the rich.

This can be considered a standard measure to protect the interests of the wealthy.

The orphanage, on the other hand, originally intended to win over Mike, so they naturally considered everything for him.

"Thank you, but no need. I have my own plans for the money." Mike politely declined the orphanage's offer.

“Okay, you can contact us anytime through Dennis if you need to.” The welfare home staff didn’t press the matter further.

After expressing his/her intentions, he/she left the notary office first.

"How does it feel to be a millionaire now?" Dennis asked jokingly as he walked out of the notary office with Mike.

"Feeling? I feel like I'm surrounded by the scent of money..." Mike spread his arms wide exaggeratedly, making a blissful expression.

"Alright, I know you're rich." Looking at Mike's childish expression, Dennis shook his head with a smile, then asked, "So, you're a millionaire, where would you like to go next?"

Because of Mike's situation, Dennis took two days off from the welfare home.

The two of them still have plenty of time to explore the town.

“Come with me to the farm,” Mike suggested.

As far as he knew, his family's farm was not small; aside from the corners and edges unsuitable for growing crops, there were about ten hectares of good land.

Not long after, a pickup truck drove into a small farm on the outskirts of the city.

A neatly arranged vineyard comes into view.

It's grape season now, and the bunches of small, bright green grapes on the vines look very appealing.

"Young Master Quinn, Mr. Dennis, you've arrived." A man who looked like a butler in his fifties came forward to greet them.

"Hey Kenyan uncle, you still look so energetic!" Mike greeted the man with a smile.

Kenya is an old man on the farm, having worked for the Quinn family since Mike's father's generation.

Moreover, the old man's son and daughter-in-law are now helping out on Quinn's farm.

You could say this family is one of the Quinn family's own, the kind you can absolutely trust.

"Thanks to you, young master, my old bones are still quite sturdy..." Kenya, with his neatly trimmed beard, said with a hearty smile.

Afterward, the old man led Mike on a tour of the farm, explaining the recent developments there.

Seeing his own farm in person, Mike had many thoughts running through his mind.

The grapes on this farm are mainly used as raw materials for making wine.

Harvested once a year.

Mike believes that this operating model can completely improve crop cultivation and thus create more profits.

For example, vineyards with low economic returns could be converted to grow more valuable cotton.

During this period, crops such as fennel and corn can also be intercropped.

Even if you continue to grow grapes, you can refine the quality of the wine during the grape-making process.

By focusing on quality and storytelling, we can create our own unique wine brand.

With brand recognition, they can also acquire surrounding land.

If this model is successfully implemented, it could potentially create a large-scale farmer.

Unfortunately, Mike had no intention of staying on the farm to expand and strengthen it.

After all, the prospects for the stock market are better than those for the farm economy.

As for Mike's ideas for developing the farm, we can mention them to Kenya later.

In Kenya, they received news early in the morning that Mike was coming back.

Therefore, after leading Mike on a tour of the vineyard, he took his men to the estate on the farm and brought out last year's account books.

"Uncle Kenya, you can go ahead and get busy. I'll call you if I need anything," Mike said with a smile as he received the ledger.

After Kenya left, Mike glanced through the ledgers briefly. Once he confirmed there were no major problems, he didn't look at them again.

“Dennis, I’d like to give you some of the farm’s shares. What do you think of two tiers?” Mike said, putting down his ledger.

This can be seen as his way of repaying the Dennis family for taking care of him.

In fact, the Denises' work at the welfare home was more of a public service, so their salary wasn't very high.

In a horizontal comparison, the Dennis couple's income is much lower than that of the Cooper family.

The only difference is that Dennis's family doesn't have children, so their financial pressure isn't as great.

But not having children now doesn't mean you won't have them in the future.

Rather than waiting for Dennis to become financially strapped after having children, it would be better to tie him to the farm.

This gives him a legitimate reason to take care of the farm, while also increasing his family income.

“No, this farm is what your parents left you, I can’t interfere.” Dennis refused without hesitation after hearing Mike’s suggestion.

“To be honest, Uncle Dennis, I probably won’t be coming back here much in the future. The farm needs someone I can trust to help manage it…” After explaining his reasons, Mike continued, “Two-tenths of the shares are my compensation to you. If you feel uneasy about taking them, you can also donate a portion to the orphanage to help improve the lives of the children there.”

With two tiers of shares, the maximum annual return would be only 20,000 US dollars. Mike felt it was well worth using that money to maintain Dennis's relationship with the orphanage.

Chapter 270 Distribution of Benefits

Seeing that Mike wasn't joking, Dennis thought for a while and said, "Let me discuss the shares with Kelly tonight."

"Alright~" Mike nodded, not insisting.

By the time Mike and Mike finished discussing business, it was almost noon.

Just then, the Kenyan man led in a woman dressed as a village woman: "Young Master Quinn, it's almost lunchtime. I've found someone to prepare lunch for you."

The woman behind Kenya is his daughter-in-law.

At this moment, the woman, who looked reserved, was holding a large pile of fresh ingredients in her arms.

"Then I'll have to trouble you," Mike replied with a smile.

After that, the Kenyan man took his daughter-in-law to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Mike was touring his family's estate.

To be honest, since he transmigrated here, he hasn't really had a chance to properly look at this slightly old house.

Because it was privately owned land, the estate covered a very large area and used very high-quality materials.

It's clear that the Kenyan man had already had the house cleaned beforehand, knowing that Mike was coming back.

Sunlight streams in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the clean and bright house, which also has a touch of antique charm.

It's a great place for a vacation and relaxation, complementing the plantation outside the window.

Living room, study, dressing room, storage room...

After touring all the rooms in the manor, Mike went up the stairs to the spacious basement.

There are also some wines stored in wooden barrels here.

They're all homemade wines; I can bring some back for Grandma Connie and Coach George to try when I go back.
