"The New York branch is $700M—it's in Manhattan, prime location, still performing well. Miami is $600M, benefiting from tourism and the Latin American market. Vegas is $400M—smaller but steady due to casino proximity and convention traffic. So the whole chain is currently worth $2.27 billion."

"Two weeks from today. And I believe by then, if I trade aggressively, we won't even need to touch much of the $1B Charlotte brought from her treasury or your secret funds. The markets are favorable, and I've identified several high-probability plays that could net us another $200-300M by auction day."
