The God of Wealth: Her Top Game of Thrones

Of course, they haven't done anything so obvious yet, such as openly excluding Telos's cancer drug process or engaging in any underhanded slander and rumors.

They didn't need to do these things yet, after all, Tang Tang wasn't the kind of person who would resign herself to selling her research results just because they forced her to.

She has a background, influence, social circle, and strength. In fact, in terms of status and lineage, she is more noble than many capitalists in the United States.

In earlier times, arranged marriages were actually quite common in Europe and America.

That period was a time of rapid development in the Americas, with gold diggers and speculators everywhere. Through various trade and financial means, a large number of wealthy businessmen emerged.

In order to improve their status and experience, and to integrate into the ancient European market, these merchants would choose to marry into some of Europe's declining noble families. By marrying a noblewoman, they could elevate their social class and gain a respectable status.

Therefore, even though the US is currently promoting consumerism and money worship, many wealthy people still pursue a sense of dignity and status.

There is still a certain respect and longing for families that, while perhaps not wealthy, have ancient origins and noble lineages.

Moreover, Tang Tang not only has a status... she also has power and money.

Now, her nominal father, her dear godfather, seems to have grown tired of those tumultuous years of fighting and killing, and has retired to Newman Estate to enjoy his retirement, so Italy seems to be at peace.

But if the Godfather were to rekindle his ambitions and seek to achieve renewed glory in his graying hair, his influence would allow him to directly disrupt the Italian political landscape.

Perhaps in the next election, Italy's prime minister could be replaced by the Godfather.

The Newman family controls more than half of Italy's industries, many of which are pillar industries that can be passed down from generation to generation like minerals and land.

Theoretically speaking, Tang Tang's status is not much different from that of a royal princess of a country.

Moreover, compared to those princesses who have almost no right to inherit... Tang Tang is now the sole heir of the Newman family, the only daughter of that old godfather.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Newman family will undoubtedly belong to her in the future. If she were to return to Italy one day, would the old godfather, with his declining health, choose to nominate her as the new Italian parliamentarian and future prime minister?

Oh, this is truly chilling to think about...

Therefore, after Tang Tang arrived in the US, even though she never held banquets, almost never socialized, and didn't even give a heads-up, she directly announced the Telos laboratory, using a first-generation anti-cancer drug to aggressively enter the pharmaceutical market...

Such unreasonable and disregard for face have deterred anyone from making any move towards her.

Because of the consideration of interests, everyone else assumed that it was more worthwhile to please her than to attack her.

"Oh, Alexander, who do you think did what happened with Reginald?"

In the office of OSIRIS Biotechnology Company, Alexander, dressed in a suit and tie, sat behind his desk, writing and drawing with a pen in his hand. Only after hearing his old friend's words did he pick up the coffee next to him and take a sip.

“To be honest, I don’t know, John,” Alexander said, swallowing his smooth, rich latte, “but I believe it’s not Esther.”

He shrugged. "I believe Esther isn't a fool. She, like me, would prefer Reginald to be alive and well. Having a familiar old adversary is much better than suddenly encountering a new, unknown one."

John Eddie is a manager at a well-known investment bank. He and Alexander are old classmates, business partners, and old friends.

Alexander entrusted part of his fund to John for investment management, and the current returns are quite good. Of course, he also uses John's identity to submit applications for certain loan-related business within the company.

Mutually beneficial, this relationship between the two old friends is even more reliable than many purely platonic friendships.

Therefore, the topics they discussed were much more in-depth than those of ordinary friends.

"Speaking of which, you met Miss Newman at the banquet, didn't you?"

John and Alexander were about the same age, in their forties, both married with a new wife fifteen years younger than him. He said, "To be honest, Annie has always been very curious about this Miss Newman. You know, her sister is also studying at Harvard and apparently took a class with Miss Newman."

“Oh, she is a very…” Alexander hissed, then tried to describe his impression of Tang Tang to John, but after a while, Alexander said with some helplessness, “Listen, John, it’s hard for me to describe her to you.”

"Before this, we all had our suspicions about her. She was just too young, barely in her early twenties, and an Italian who had just come to the American region."

To be honest, before Tang Tang came to the US region, although she had gained some popularity on foreign websites because of her speech at the Italian protest and the cruise ship crash, Alexander and others, as top elites in the US region, still treated Tang Tang with a condescending attitude.

No, perhaps "condescending" isn't the right word. It's more like... how to put it? Indifference? Observation? Or perhaps a guessing but not a serious attitude... because she's just too young.

While intelligence may be innate, character and abilities are often cultivated through experience. A person's temperament, vision, experience, and methods all require resources to nurture and refine.

This is why there are always barriers between social classes, because the more outstanding a person is, the more resources they need to consume during their growth.

Ordinary people don't have that many resources to raise the next generation.

At that time, Tang Tang was the Godfather's son who had been stranded in China. She was unknown and had no reputation or achievements before being found by the Newman family. She looked just like an ordinary person.

This means that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Nicoletta Newkman has not received any elite training and may be completely ignorant of finance, politics, art, social skills, etiquette, and other knowledge essential to the upper class.

Even if she is the Godfather's only child, so what? An heir with only blood and wealth but no ability will obviously end up in a miserable state.

Moreover, since Italy isn't part of the US region, nobody cares.

It was Tang Tang's subsequent controversies in Italy that brought Nicoletta Newkman's fame from Italy to the United States, but that was only a temporary phenomenon circulating online.
