Chapter 0096 - Glory Will Eventually Decline (Ask for Subscription 3/20)
Li Zitao's mouth opened, and he was thinking about whether he should 'ligation' in seconds, when he saw her smile suddenly spread, and said playfully: "Happy April Fool's Day, boss." ”
"......" God-like April Fool's Day, Li Zitao is not good.
"My mother wants to hit people now, the kind I want to do. "Returning to District 22 with a depressed face, Li Zitao pulled Hans for a while. ’
What he wanted to find most was Wang Dagou, but who knew that he happened to be there, so he could only grieve the strongest instructor Hans.
Bang bang bang
There was a fierce collision on the training ground, and Hans had no intention of sparing his hand, and gave his best with every punch.
He has had many sparring experience with Li Zitao, and he understands a truth very well: "Before the boss has no strength, a few punches can be punched, and more than two punches are considered earned." ”
Boom!
A heavy fist slammed into the arms that stood in front of him, and Hans flew upside down as usual, rubbing his arms with a wry smile on his face.
Although it was a little tingling, he knew that this was already gentle, otherwise now he would not talk about rubbing his arm, and he could directly buy a ticket to go back to country D to see orthopedics.
"Where's Jack?" "Bandaged fists swung haphazardly in the air, and with each blow you could hear the sound of 'whirring'.
Every time he competes with others, he can't use all his strength, and Li Zitao can only completely release his monster-like power when he plays with the 'air'.
"The chief instructor took someone to Mexico, and someone found out about the woman who had cheated Lawrence before. Hans wiped his cold sweat and said.
To be honest, standing next to Li Zitao, he was under a lot of pressure, for fear that the fist that burst the air would smash on his head with a 'whew'.
"Woman?" Li Zitao stopped moving, moved his shoulders and said, "Laura?"
"That's her. Hans nodded.
"It's really persistent, I thought you all gave up on tracking. Li Zitao lowered his head and said as he untied the bandage.
...... "Big brother, you're taunting me!"
Didn't you personally order that woman be brought back?
"Jesse. Seeing Li Zitao waving at the little elk, Hans left with interest.
When the two were practicing just now, he saw several new students snickering, "Hehe, Lao Tzu can't get the Great Demon King, and he can also give you a taste of Iron Fist." ”
"What's going on lately?" The secretary's office is responsible for connecting with the think tank and his industry, and it is also his other pair of eyes.
"Ah~ nothing happened!" said the little elk with a wink.
...... "me, Li Zitao felt that if he faced her every day, he would have to live ten years less."
"What's going on with the think tank?"
"Oh!" lowered his head and turned out a palm-sized notepad inlaid with gems in his small satchel, and the little elk said seriously: "The stock market continues to absorb the shares of the company, McDonald's franchise is open, and it is under preliminary review, and Ace Energy ......"
Looking at the emerald the size of a thumb cap on the notepad, the corners of Li Zitao's eyes twitched.
You're so inflated, your boss's fountain pen is only 7 US dollars, and look at you, even the notepad is gem-encrusted......
After listening to the report of the inflated deer, Li Zitao found that there was no discrepancy with the report of the think tank, and the only difference was that the think tank did not mention that Roosevelt had come to Chicago.
And he didn't come alone, he also brought another member, Jonathan Fertiast, who came from a declining family.
The Astor family, once the richest people in the world, American fur tycoons and real estate tycoons.
Since the Astor I Emperor amassed a huge fortune through fur and foreign import and export trade, the Astor family has been one of the most famous families in the United States.
For a time, the family had a monopoly on the fur trade in North America and Europe.
In the year of Astor I, he foresaw that New York would become the world's top city in the future.
So this shrewd old man, who single-handedly built his family into a famous family, ended all the business at hand and used all the money to buy land in Manhattan.
I have to admit that this old man is a bit of a god, and he directly hit the treasure, and the speed of Manhattan's development stunned the families who had been waiting to see the joke.
Astor II became the famous 'King of New York,' how rich was the Astor family at that time?
The family owned more than 1,000 shops and apartments in New York, and its prestige rose to its peak.
For a period of time, if you want to enter the American high society, no matter what kind of steel king, railroad king, or oil king you are, you must first get the approval of the Astor family.
When it came to the third generation of the family, there were some inevitable tearing problems of wealthy families, so one vein went away to country Y and the other vein returned to country D.
The one who held the greatest wealth remained in America, that is, Astor IV.
At this time, the Astor family was still in its prime, and the fourth was a qualified family heir and leader.
Unfortunately, the shrewd and bold heir was a little unlucky.
When it comes to the Titanic, no one must be unaware that Astor IV is one of the financial donors of this sea palace.
And then......
"The ship is ready, bosses, come and beep!" shouted the shipping company enthusiastically.
Whoa......
A group of local tyrants got on board.
The end result was the same as in the previous life, the ship crashed into the iceberg.
I don't know if anyone remembers the "Titanic" movie, when the ship was about to sink, the old gentleman who refused to get on the ship was the original form of Astor IV.
Of course, the reality is not that he refuses to get on board, but that after he put his wife and children on board, there is no place on board.
With the wealth and influence of Astor IV at the time, he could have had the crew 'invite' the next lady to 'voluntarily abdicate'.
But instead of doing that, he decided to wait for the next lifeboat.
I have to admire the old man's consciousness at this point, it's really amazing in that era!!
Unfortunately, time was not kind to him, and the huge steel hull sank, and the whirlpool that rolled up left Canadian Solar IV dead.
Canadian Solar is dead, the family heritage is still there, and his wealth has not been affected in the slightest, not to mention the ups and downs of land prices, you can just collect rent.
Next, ahem, knock on the blackboard to mark the key points!
"Who else can I be a little expert in death!!"
Vincent Astor, the eldest son of the IV, was also his designated heir to the family.
What can I say about the character of this eldest son!
Extremism, cowardice, inferiority, a luxurious trip, Karma~ Daddy is gone.
When I go home again, Ka~~ is the head of the family.
"I, Astor, hit the money!" the young man swelled instantly.
Uncle wants to start a business, uncle wants to rise up, and he wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, so that those of you who look down on me can see my Vincent's talent and power.
The biggest catalyst in this is to talk about his stepmother, who escaped death and returned to the United States, opened the will and took a look, MMP!
The old lady actually got such a little property, you old man, come and come, you sit up for me, let's chat!
It's impossible to sit up, can you sit up when people are gone?
So the reluctant stepmother went around preaching that Vincent was a waste, and that he had no talent to maintain the glory of the Astor family, let alone do anything.
The young man is not convinced, do it!
Starting a business requires capital, and the Astor family's limited cash, coupled with the fact that most of the funds are in the hands of the family trust, Vincent can't move it if he wants to.
But it doesn't matter, there is a way to be a little expert in death.
What is the most in the Astor family, land, Lao Tzu is the king of New York.
Sell land, En...... It was such a happy decision.
The prime location of the Times Center, 2.37 million US dollars, he sold it.
The high-end apartment on Park Avenue, 1.88 million US dollars, was also sold by him.
The piece of land that is being repaired to build the Empire State Building, 7.65 million US dollars, is still sold by him.
Sell, sell, sell, and get 40 million US dollars at once.
The funds are there, come on, do it!
Hiccup, it's a loss.
Hiccup, it's lost again.
Li Zitao didn't know what the Astor family thought, if he was Astor IV, I was afraid that the coffin board would not be able to hold it.
"Lao Tzu left you such a big business, and you are about to lose your fucking three or five years. "Heroic Astor IV Bloodslaughter.
Seeing that the business failed, the Vincent young man was depressed: "The family doesn't support me, my stepmother scolds me every day, and my wife doesn't understand me, divorce!"
You must know that for wealthy families, divorce is a costly matter.
Vincent divorced once, and a quarter of the family property was divided.
Who made this guy rich and capricious, and never played the prenuptial agreement, "We are true love." ”
When a newcomer starts, it must be passionate, and the second wife understands and supports Vincent very well, knowing that the young man wants to be an 'Internet celebrity'. ’
"You can do charity in a different way. "The little assistant of death is online.
Vincent lit up, yes, I can still do charity!
......
"Alas, it's really drunk to have such a loser thing on the stall. Li Zitao couldn't think about it anymore, and his blood pressure should soar to 220 later.
Anyway, Vincent is still on the road to death, but his family can't stand it anymore.
Especially the unwilling stepmother: "I want to share more property, not for you to bankrupt the Astor family!"
Thus, there was Jonathan.
I forgot to introduce that this Jonathan Astor is the illegitimate son of Astor IV.
"Look at your brother's fool, if you go down like this, the Astor family pill, you hurry up and seize power!"
With the support of this stepmother and the trust, Jonathan returns to the Astor family and begins to fall in love with his half-brother.
Damn, the story of the Astor family can be written in a long book, and that's wonderful.
However, Jonathan's performance is eye-catching, in just 2 years, the assets assigned to him have doubled, a proper talent.
Why do you think the Trust Fund is supporting Jonathan?
Because their interests have also suffered!
The family trust fund can take 25% of these ground rents every year and inject them into the foundation to increase the trust fund's capital.
But look at what Vincent did, he wasn't selling eggs, he was so mad that he even sold the old hen that laid eggs.
The capital injection of the trust fund has been declining year after year, and it is important to know that the larger the capital of the trust fund, the higher their profits, and the higher the dividends and bonuses they receive.
Cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents, "Young man, do you think I want to you?"
As for the relationship between the Astor family and the Roosevelt family, as early as Astor IV, he became in-laws with Roosevelt.
It was not Roosevelt whom Li Zitao knew, but his late cousin, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt.
