Chapter 62 Not afraid of others and afraid of oneself
The outskirts of Los Angeles.
Fort Edward.
The residence of the Edward family.
From afar, you can hear the laughter and laughter wafting from the castle, and it is still early, and a grand dinner has quietly begun.
Servants weave through the flow of passengers.
Prepare the ingredients for the dinner in an orderly manner.
All the world's top rare delicacies are stacked on the high-end dining table, and all kinds of top famous wines are served one by one, all of which show the luxury of this dinner.
The guests gathered in groups of three or five, drinking famous wines and eating rare delicacies, and the atmosphere was called a harmonious atmosphere.
In one of the gardens of the castle.
Edward, who is in his seventies, is frolicking with his little grandson, and the sound of laughter and laughter in the garden, combined with the chirping of the magpie on the branch, which symbolizes good luck, makes Edward more and more energetic.
Edward has been busy for most of his life, and the family business that he managed to break into was almost lost due to the fluctuations in the crude oil market.
Just when he was disheartened, suddenly a mysterious person (system) appeared.
At a price twice the market price, Edward was surprised and delighted to buy all the shares of the Eiffel Group he held.
After a brief period of prosperity, the Eiffel Group has gradually begun to decline in recent years.
In addition, there are few people in charge among the younger generations, which makes Edward even more overwhelmed.
Without the turmoil in the oil market, the Eiffel Group might have been able to hold on to Edward for a few years, at least until his retirement.
After the battle in the crude oil market, the stock price of the Eiffel Group fell again and again, and as a result, his personal assets also shrank by half.
It's not on the verge of bankruptcy, but it's pretty much there.
In particular, the pressing of competitors made Edward even more haggard.
Under normal circumstances, it would be a huge undertaking to restore the Eiffel Group to its heyday, and even if Edward borrowed another five hundred years from God, it would not be the case.
To put it more bluntly, if there was no external intervention, Edward and the family behind him would basically be like this for the rest of his life.
Even the castle where he lived, the last inheritance left by his ancestors, was unknown.
The appearance of the mysterious man suddenly gave Edward a glimmer of hope.
The price is twice the market price to buy his shares as a wholly owned shareholder, and he is the largest shareholder of the Eiffel Group, and the price is almost close to 100 billion green coins at twice the price.
What was the market value of Eiffel in its heyday?
When the sun sets, someone suddenly gives money for nothing, isn't it fragrant for Edward to retire with this money?
Even more exciting for Edward is yet to come.
A few days later, Edward received news that it was actually a Chinese man who took over the Eiffel Group.
Moreover, this Chinese man was shot as soon as he arrived at the Luozhou airport, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
Edward had always had a keen eye and saw an opportunity.
Immediately joined hands with other shareholders of the group to start stepping up the transfer of assets, but all valuable industries were divided by these people at the first time.
In addition to the large oil fields on which the group depended for its survival were intercepted by the royal family, some of the assets transferred by Edward alone were enough to make up for his previous losses.
Counting the money from selling the group, tsk.. The Edward family has become a first-class family in country X, and the flip of things is simply incredible.
As for whether that Huaxia will trouble him in the future, Edward doesn't have to worry about this at all.
After all, Luozhou is his home base, and the Edward family has been operating here for more than 100 years.
Even the royal family is polite to him, can a mere Chinese person turn the sky upside down?
Edward was excited, and specially held this grand dinner, and at the same time invited Luozhou's famous characters to participate, which was also to show his joy after the villain's ambition.
"Father, the invited guests have arrived, is it time for the dinner party to begin?" Edward's eldest son diligently wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his admiration for his father was even more devastating.
In the case that the group has been packaged and sold, his father Edward can still transfer all the assets under the noses of the Chinese people, which shows how shrewd and wise Edward is.
The point is.
Even if all the assets are transferred, the Chinese people who took over the Eiffel Group dare not speak out, and the empty gloves of the white wolf play to the realm of his father, and this life is not in vain.
"Now that the guests are here, let's get started!" Edward nodded, whispered a few words in his youngest grandson's ear, and then appeared in the banquet hall with his eldest son.
Along the way, it is inevitable to be touted.
Even those first-class family leaders who used to ignore him were also touting him at this moment, and Edward was even more happy to smile in the face of this scene.
"Master, I'm sorry to disturb you, I have an email from you here, please read it, master!" Edward was in high spirits, and the old butler in charge of the castle came tremblingly.
Edward was so excited that he hardly thought about it, so he opened the envelope in front of all the guests, and stared at the contents for a long time, but he didn't understand what it meant, so he returned the letter to the butler.
"Huaxia people just like to play tricks, and they don't look at whose chassis this is, if they dare to come to country X to make trouble, God can't forgive you!" Edward didn't know Huaxia and had never eaten pork, but he had seen a pig run, and he could tell the origin of the letter at a glance.
The content of the letter is simple.
There are only a few short Chinese characters - not afraid of others and afraid of oneself.
The person who wrote the letter wanted to convey what Edward couldn't understand, but for some reason, after seeing the letter, Edward always felt a burst of panic.
This feeling made him very unhappy, and Edward could not say it in front of the guests, so he could only comfort himself in his heart.
His chassis is his way.
Do the Chinese people dare to mess around?
...
"Master, the letter has been sent out, calculate the time, Edward should also receive it at this time. It's just that Edward can understand the meaning of this letter? Ask the master to solve his doubts, hehe..."
Don't say Edward can't read it.
Even Mengmeng, the party involved, is in the clouds.
This is an ancient Chinese saying, which literally means that you are not afraid of others knowing, but you are afraid of your own knowing. On a deeper level, let him wash his neck and wait!" Qin Yao explained with a sneer.
This Edward is so bold.
I am not satisfied with the money collected from the system.
After receiving the money, he dared to embezzle the private property that originally belonged to Qin Yao, which was simply impossible and deceitful too much.
If Qin Yao could swallow this breath, it would be strange.
"A good one to wash his neck and wait, the Chinese language is really broad and profound, live to learn all the time, Meng Meng understands..."
