Chapter 281: Stick to Your Faith
281
The whole room was silent, everyone's eyes were focused on "Phantom", John's words were very impactful, and he took "Phantom" out of this trick so amazing, clearly telling everyone that whoever didn't stand with him would make him stink.
"I agree with JPMorgan Bank's rectification!"
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
"Agreed!"
One by one, the Morgan family raised their hands, and when it was Dean Morgan's turn, he looked at his great-grandfather, thought about what John had just said, and finally slowly raised his hand.
John's move was so ruthless that it didn't give them a choice, but they should be glad that the person presiding over the meeting in this room today was John, not JP Morgan 93 years ago. That Lord was even more shameless and scoundrel than John. When competing for the right to the railway, the lord dared to pay someone to pretend to be a police officer, and he grabbed all the competitors from the auction and left himself with one bid. So John is much more civilized and reasonable.
But not everyone in the room bought John's account, and Henry Sturgis Morgan, the great elder of the Morgan family, did not raise his hand.
"Great Elder, do you still disagree?" John looked at Henry Sturgis Morgan. The old man was the only one in the audience who didn't raise his hand, and it seemed that he had decided to fight him to the end.
"Does it matter if I disagree?" said Henry Sturgis Morgan, looking around at the members who had raised their hands, and then stood up and watched John say in a loud voice. "I'll look at this plan with my eyes wide open, and you're right when you say it: time is the fairest judge. ”
"Alright, then please wait and see from the Great Elder. ”
"Humph!"
Henry Sturgis Morgan heard John's words, snorted coldly, and left the conference room with a club, and Dean Morgan in the distance quickly followed when he saw this.
In the end, the Morgan Bank rectification plan was approved by a high vote of 99%, although the Grand Elder did not agree, but his vote could not control the final outcome, and John's first appearance also successfully established his prestige in the Morgan family.
"Boss! You've done a great job today, you've overwhelmed everyone. Dani followed John out of the conference room with "Phantom" in her hand, John's performance today made her admire, these people in the conference room are all Tyrannosaurus rex, and they can find out one who is either the boss of the group or a political boss. Either the gods of the community or the administrators of the army. But these people all bowed their heads in front of John today, and even the Great Elder was angry and ran away.
"Okay! Don't be sassy, you can only use this trick once, and it won't work in the future, yes! Remember to return the book. John smiled. Although this trick is effective, it is a bit shameless after all, and John is a face-saving person.
"Yes. ”
Dani gave John a mischievous salute and walked away with a smile in her hand.
Mrs. Morgan, who was not far away, was also very happy, and kept smiling when she came out of the conference room, John's performance today made this old mother very face-saving, but she was a little unhappy when she thought of the great elder, this old man was the only flaw today.
"Okay, don't think about it, there's no way you're going to have a chance to knock the Great Elder, his position is voted on by the whole clan. Old Morgan on the side saw Mrs. Morgan's contemplative appearance, and naturally knew what she was thinking. This is a tacit understanding that has been cultivated after decades of marriage.
"Humph!"
Mrs. Morgan snorted coldly, and the result she got after thinking about it was indeed as old Morgan said, she couldn't move the Great Elder.
"He's in his 80s, I'm not bothering with him, I'm putting up with him for a few years. Hmph!" Mrs. Morgan said and walked away with her head held high, leaving old Morgan alone.
After the meeting, there was a family dinner as usual, one was to thank everyone for their contributions, and the other was to let everyone get together to maintain their relationship.
The Great Elder did not come, saying that he was sick, but John estimated that the old man was suffering from a heart disease, and his great-grandson, Dean Morgan, did not come, saying that he wanted to take care of him.
But the party will not be suspended just because these two people did not come, everyone should still eat, drink, and chat as usual, and it will not be affected in the slightest. But John, as the heir of the family, was a junior, so he couldn't do this, and when he heard that the great elder was sick, although he knew that the great elder was suffering from heart disease, he still ordered the doctor to go over and take a look.
Although the Great Elder opposes him today, this matter belongs to work, what should he do in terms of human feelings, he must get by on the unhappy side in his heart, he must not let others think that he is a stingy person, and he must also establish an image of respecting the old and loving the young in the hearts of everyone.
And Henry Sturgis Morgan, as an elder, naturally had to accept John's kindness, so he patiently let the doctor tinker for a long time, prescribed some soothing medicine, and then returned to the study to work.
"Great-grandfather, why did you vote right today?" asked Dean Morgan, who had helped Henry Sturgis Morgan to his chair and sat down, still wondering why his great-grandfather had done it.
"Why, you think I'm old and confused?" Henry Sturgis Morgan looked up at Dean Morgan standing beside him.
"Don't dare, great-grandson just doesn't understand, JK has already taken out "Phantom", aren't you afraid of how he will record it in the book?" Dean Morgan was a little worried about his great-grandfather's reputation, afraid that John would scandalize his great-grandfather in the book.
"What does it matter?" said Henry Sturgis Morgan, looking indifferent. "My personal reputation is small, but the interests of the family are great, if sacrificing my personal reputation can be exchanged for the prosperity of the family, then I am willing. ”
"But is it worth it?" Dean Morgan didn't understand, why did he let his great-grandfather give so many people in the family, wasn't it enough?
"It's worth it. ”
Henry Sturgis Morgan looked at Dean Morgan categorically, with a determined look in his eyes.
"The position of the Great Elder has never been an honor, but a responsibility, no matter whether the Morgan Bank rectification plan is feasible or not, I must stand up against it, because this is what I have to do, I have to tell JK that he can't cover the sky with one hand in the Morgan house, what he wants to do, as long as my eyes are not closed, I will always stare at him, watch his every move, watch his every decision and every order, let him know that there is a pair of eyes that are always on him. ”
"Then aren't you afraid that John will hate you?" Dean Morgan looked worried, the responsibility of the Great Elder is to supervise the family members and enforce the family law, which was enough to offend people, but now even John is offended.
"Hahaha......"
"Afraid?"
Henry Sturgis Morgan laughed a few times, and suddenly looked at Dean Morgan with a righteous face.
"I don't show favoritism, I don't seek personal gain, why should I be afraid? The Great Elder guards the bottom line of the Morgan family, if he is afraid of offending people, then what qualifications do he have to sit in this position, and what qualifications do he have to be buried with the predecessors of the Morgan family after a hundred years?
Dean, you have to remember to be upright and stick to things.
Got it?"
"I see. ”
Dean Morgan bowed his head. Take Henry Sturgis Morgan's words to heart.
In this world, there are always some people who stick to their beliefs, in their eyes, money, reputation, personal honor and disgrace, and even their lives are not important, only the faith they hold on to is what they care about the most. Sometimes these people seem stupid, sometimes they look stupid, but the world is interesting because of such a group of people who stand by their beliefs.
