(I actually forgot to set up automatic updates yesterday, which is really embarrassing-。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ-#）

On May 21, the day after Zhou Ming had finished meeting with Caitlin at the Quincy Restaurant, Edward did not go to preside over the government meeting, but came to find Zhou Ming.

Coming to Zhou Ming's room, Edward said to Zhou Ming: "I know that it is very immoral for me to do this, but I also ask Mr. Zhou Ming for your understanding, after all, I am still a member of the Kendini family, this matter is not only related to the present and future of the Kendini family, but there are so many people present on the same day, even if it is not me, this matter is impossible to hide......"

Zhou Ming waved his hand to interrupt Edward's words and said, "Mr. Governor, aren't you just going to attend your family's meeting?" You already said it yesterday, it seems that you don't need to explain so much to me. ”

Edward was a little embarrassed, they were indeed going to attend the Kendini family meeting now, and this matter was also told to Zhou Ming yesterday, but Edward came over today and said it again, Edward explained: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I just say this to show respect to you, and I don't want any misunderstanding between us." ”

"So are we going to Kendeni's family meeting now?" Zhou Ming shrugged and asked, not making any comments on other things, in fact, since he met Edward at the door of Quincy's Restaurant that day, Zhou Ming didn't expect him to keep any secrets for himself, or it can also be said that Zhou Ming didn't treat this matter as a secret that could not be told to outsiders.

Hearing Zhou Ming say this, Edward finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he himself didn't understand why he was doing this.

Then Edward took Zhou Ming to a special conference room on the 26th floor of the Kendini Investment Bank Building, the furnishings in this conference room are relatively simple, only a large round conference table and a few chairs, of course, the simplicity here is just looking, in fact, all the furniture is made of very exquisite materials, even if it is just a chair, I am afraid it is worth millions.

There are also three oil paintings hanging on the walls of the conference room, the first two are black and white photos, apparently the founder of the Kendini family, and one oil painting is very famous, that is the only president of the Kendini family, and even compared to the founder, this Kendini president is the most famous person in the family.

This is the most important meeting room of the Kendini family, and it can be seen from the display of items here that the Kendini family is very pragmatic and respectful.

When Zhou Ming followed Edward here, there were already four people sitting here in the conference room, and Zhou Ming knew that they were the other core members of the Kendini family, and they all stood up when they saw Zhou Ming and Edward enter the door.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, these are the core of our Kendini family, this is Eugens, he is the vice chairman of Brighton Bank, this is Patrick, the chairman of Kendini Investment Bank, this is Joseph, the chairman of Kendini Food Group, and this is Cavendi, the chairman of the Ajlan Trust Company. Edward introduced to Zhou Ming.

These four people, plus Edward, constitute the core of the Kendini family, and unlike other families, the Kendini family does not have an absolute core, which is also related to the fact that the Kendini family is not like other families, and will have an absolute core business.

Needless to say, the Brighton Bank and the Kendini Investment Bank have risen and developed in finance; and the Kendini Food Group is also very important, it can be said that in addition to finance, food is the secondary industry of the Kendini family, and it is also the food industry that helped the Kendini family survive the Great Depression in the twenties and thirties; as for the Ajlan Trust, it may not seem to have much to do with the family, but in fact, he is an important unit that controls the shares of the two major Brighton consortium arms dealers, Bell Aircraft Company and Phoenix Company.

From these, it is not difficult to see how much power the Kendini family has, if you look at the general direction of the Brighton consortium, in addition to the university education resources that the Lawrence and Lowell families have been firmly controlling, I am afraid that this is all there is to it.

Compared to these people, Edward may look much inferior, but he is the governor, which is enough to make him an inseparable corner of the iron pentagram.

This is because for the Kendini family, they have always been fond of politics from the moment they rise, so each generation of Kendini family members, they will pick the one with the most political IQ to cultivate, and then send it to the political arena. It can be said that this person who is in politics has other family resources as officials, and if he can become president one day, then he can become the undisputed family nucleus, just like President Kendini did thirty years ago.

Zhou Ming wondered why the Kendini family had been so fond of politics for a hundred years, but it had nothing to do with him, and Zhou Ming didn't bother to delve into it.

After greeting the remaining four corners of the Kendini family, they came to the round table and sat down together.

After they all sat down, Edward turned into the host of the meeting and said first: "Mr. Zhou Ming, the reason why I invited you here today is about your meeting with Caitlin at the Quincy Restaurant, of course, we don't say this because we doubt you, but we need an answer. ”

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter: "Actually, it's okay if you suspect, after all, I made an appointment with Caitlin privately without telling you, although I really want to explain that I did it as a last resort, but a mistake is a mistake, and I won't quibble." It's just that I'm curious, what kind of answer do you need?"

"Are you still our friend? I heard that you made a pact with Caitlin, can you make sure that it will take effect?" asked Patrick, chairman of Kendini Investment Bank.

"Of course, I'm confident in that. Zhou Ming said, "But in fact, there is no breach of this agreement, after all, if I win His Royal Highness Caitlin, then the Addams family will lose the threat, right?"

These words surprised the five people, and the iron pentagon of the Kendini family looked at each other, and finally Edward stood up and said, "We discussed it yesterday, and we decided to believe you, but this is only temporary, so we want to know what you are going to do now?

Zhou Ming gave an answer that stunned everyone: "Don't do anything, just wait." ”

Faced with this answer, the Kendini family was stunned on the spot, because for them, they were already mentally prepared, they thought that no matter what kind of bizarre answer Zhou Ming gave, they would be able to accept it, and even they had thought about what to do in their own minds, but when Zhou Ming really said the answer, they suddenly realized that they were still too young, and they couldn't keep up with Zhou Ming's train of thought at all!

It can be said that in the eyes of the five members of the Kendini family, even if Zhou Ming said that he sold the Kendini Investment Bank, they would not be so surprised, but what does this mean? Don't you have an agreement with Caitlin, don't you still have to win against her? So on this premise, shouldn't you try to find a way to make Kendini win over Adams? Then why wait? Isn't it possible to win if you don't do anything?

Zhou Ming saw the doubts of these five people, so he continued: "We can indeed win without doing anything now. ”

Edward couldn't hold back anymore at this time: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I know that your ideas have always been different, but please forgive me, I have never heard of the stock market for nothing, and what can win the agreement without doing anything, even if it is a fairy tale, it will not be written like this." ”

Zhou Ming smiled: "Mr. Governor, you seem to have misunderstood, although I said that I can wait, but that is just for now, it does not mean that I have not done anything." ”

If Edward was just stunned before, then now he is confused: "Mr. Zhou Ming, your words made me confused, you just said that you didn't do anything, and now you say that you didn't do anything, so did you do it or didn't do it?"

"I didn't do it. Zhou Ming replied, "Because what I did was actually asking Caitlyn to come out, and everything will change with this matter, to put it simply, Her Royal Highness Caitlin had already lost since she told me the agreement." ”

"Mr. Zhou Ming, do you mean to say that the Addams family would be suspicious of Caitlin as well?" Edward, as the governor, clearly thought of something.

Zhou Ming smiled and told him: "That's right, I admit that Caitlin is from a wealthy family, and her own talent coupled with the cultivation of many resources makes her financial or business IQ very powerful, but she is still too young after all, and she doesn't understand that people's hearts are the most troublesome thing." ”

Although this sentence seems strange to come out of the mouth of Zhou Ming, who is not yet thirty years old, I have to say that Zhou Ming does have the qualifications to say so.

Speaking of this, Zhou Ming asked again: "Mr. Governor, what do you think of the Addams family? Maybe it was a quiet meeting between me and His Royal Highness Caitlyn at the Quincy Restaurant, but do you think the Addams family would know? Especially since I happened to meet you at the door that day, Mr. Governor, and you were with a large number of your entourage at that time. ”

With Zhou Ming's words, everyone immediately had an answer in their hearts, originally the Addams family was the first family in Brighton, and it was also the oldest wealthy family here, and the ability to control the Brighton area was naturally unparalleled, not to mention that Edward and his entourage saw it that day, the people of the Addams family would naturally keep an extra eye on it, and it was impossible to find it if they wanted to.

So once the Addams family finds out the information about Caitlin and Zhou Ming's private meeting, the trust between them will no longer exist, and after losing the trust of the Addams family and no longer being able to command things, Caitlin will naturally lose the agreement.

At this time, Eukins, who was at the Brighton Bank, suddenly asked, "Then what if Caitlin's appointment this time was negotiated between her and the Addams family?"

"I don't rule out this possibility, but if they really discuss it with each other, does Caitlyn still need to contact me in that way, or do they still need to use such a trick now that they have an absolute advantage?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.

Edward and the other four looked at each other, no one could answer, and Zhou Ming finally said: "I know you are all very uneasy, but since you have brought me back to Brighton from Itley, I ask you to trust me completely, even if this date does not destroy the trust between Adams and Caitlin, or if I win Caitlin but do not keep my promise, I will use other methods to help you." ”

After Zhou Ming's words, Edward and the other four discussed with each other in a whisper, and finally Edward said, "Mr. Zhou Ming, we believe in you!"
