Three

The soap opera of the three brothers has come to the end - at least for the time being.

I must say #0016 is a highly regarded stock by value investigators such as JW. My reservation is the very worry that family business never lasts long. Although intelligence quotient has a substantial component of heritability, children of true genius are usually not as gifted.

I believe this is what we call the regression-to-mean phenomenon in statistics.

By the way, there is an old Chinese saying: 生子當如孫仲謀. This is probably because Sun Ce (孫策), his very able brother, died early.

PS. In this opera, it is real fun to see the famous barrister tries his very best to argue for the elder brother - with an astronomical charge - and, in the next minute, represents his own political party and fights for the "rights" of minority groups. I am not sure whether the billionaire has bipolar disorder, but his lawyer certainly has schizophrenia.

Unlike us the working-class, the barrister charges big fees so he/she can have free time to do other things (such as volunteering his/her time for minority groups). Of course high income-earner doing this is not your cup of tea.
