The convening of the family meeting made the quiet Morgan Manor lively, and members from all over the world gathered in groups in the council hall to discuss the rectification plan of the Morgan Bank.

"Do you think this rectification plan is feasible?"

"I don't think it's right. ”

"It's just ....... ”

"The rules of the predecessors, how can our juniors change them at will?"

"This is a departure from the ancestral teachings. ”

"It's a pity that we don't have the right to vote, otherwise we would have to vote against it by a lot. ”

"Don't dream, the family implements the patriarchal system, that is, the core members have no right to vote, not to mention our peripheral members, it would be good to be able to come to the meeting. ”

The whole hall was filled with everyone's dissatisfaction with John's Bank's rectification plan, but it was only dissatisfied, the Morgan family practiced the patriarchal system, there was no so-called democratic voting, they only came to listen, and had no right to decide.

"Great-grandfather, what do you think of the bank's rectification plan?" Dean Morgan helped Henry Sturgis Morgan into the hall, and after hearing the crowd's discussion, he couldn't help but want to hear his great-grandfather's thoughts.

"And what do you think?" asked Henry Sturgis Morgan.

"I think that whether it is our predecessors or us, there is only one criterion for doing things, what is beneficial to the family can be done, and what is not beneficial to the family is not feasible. Dean Morgan was careful with his wording, for fear of being inappropriately upheld by his harsh great-grandfather.

"Yes. Henry Sturgis Morgan nodded. "Do you think the bank's rectification is good or bad for the family?" he asked.

Dean Morgan thought for a moment. "From the proposal, it looks favorable, but it is not clear what the actual effect will be, but the risk will undoubtedly be significant. ”

"Yes. Henry Sturgis Morgan nodded. "Don't blindly follow, don't follow the trend, and have your own opinions. ”

Henry Sturgis Morgan did not want his great-grandchildren to have such a habit, and only those who could have a personal mind could achieve something.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Morgan members sat in the conference room according to their own identities, and after the chief butler Archie took the list and checked that everyone was present, he ordered the servants to close the door, and the meeting officially began.

"Ladies and gentlemen. ”

John got up and looked at the crowd, he was the moderator of the meeting, and old Morgan was ready to be the shopkeeper.

"We are here today for the purpose of JPMorgan Bank's rectification plan, and all of you here today, whether core members or peripheral members, are qualified to speak and express your opinions.

Everyone has read the JPMorgan Bank's rectification plan, so I won't repeat it, let's directly discuss whether this plan is feasible. ”

After John's words, the members began to talk to each other, some loud and some quiet, but when everyone's voices were mixed, the whole room became like a vegetable market, noisy and chaotic.

"Bang bang bang ....... ”

"Quiet ....... ”

Grand Elder Henry Sturgis Morgan couldn't stand such a commotion, so he took out his crutches and knocked the table, thanks to the prestige he had accumulated in Morgan's house, after everyone saw him knock on the table, they quickly stopped the discussion, and the conference room fell silent.

"What a noisy and noisy person! If you have an idea, stand up and state it, don't talk and quarrel below, this is a family meeting room, not a vegetable market. "Henry Sturgis Morgan's words are very intimidating, but everyone you look at me, I look at you, no one wants to be the first to speak, the gun shoots the first bird, everyone doesn't want to be that bird, or everyone doesn't want to offend the future patriarch of the Morgan family in the open.

"Okay, since you don't say it, I'll tell you. Henry Sturgis Morgan took the lead when he saw that no one had said anything.

"I don't think that's the right plan. ”

Henry Sturgis Morgan likes to set the tone first.

"JP Morgan Bank is the pearl of the Morgan family, the starting point of the family's prosperity, and the king of the banking industry, the third generation patriarch of the family, JP Morgan, in order to make the Morgan Bank glorious, has long stipulated that JP Morgan Bank does not serve ordinary people, only serves the country, politicians, and wealthy businessmen, and now JK actually wants to open ordinary business, which is simply contrary to JP's regulations. ”

Henry Sturgis Morgan threw a big hat on John's head that violated the rules of the family's predecessors and went against the family, and also made the Morgan family the most ...... Important, most ...... The venerable J.P. Morgan moved out and prepared to nail John to the pillar of shame for his great disrespect to his ancestors, which almost made no difference in saying that John was a traitor.

And most of the people in the conference room were like grass on the wall, after hearing Henry Sturgis Morgan's words, they all drifted to the side of Henry Sturgis Morgan, and only a very few people still maintained a neutral attitude, as for old Morgan, he belonged to the theater today, and he didn't plan to involve himself in this "criticism fight" at all. However, there were still supporters of John in the whole room, but not many, just two, one for Mrs. Morgan and one for Dani.

But John thinks it's enough, and he is not like Liu Bang, he has a dragon father, born with the spirit of a king, and he can make a beautiful woman fall in love at first sight as soon as he appears, and make everyone bow down and call him big brother.

"Everyone!"

When Henry Sturgis Morgan sat down, John stood up, and the old man had brought him a big hat, and he had to shake it off, and he could not afford to be a traitor.

"I'd like to ask you to take a look at the floor in the center. ”

John pointed to the floor in front of the conference table, on which the Morgan family crest was emblazoned.

Everyone must know the family emblem of their own family, but they don't understand why John let them see the family emblem.

"This family emblem is engraved with the words: Go forward.

Why did the predecessors engrave this sentence on the family coat of arms?

It is to warn us never to be satisfied with the status quo, to have the spirit of hard work, and to have the courage to change.

If the Great Elder really abides by the rules of their predecessors, as the Great Elder said, then the Morgan family is still raising horses, milking cows, and selling coffee in Hartford, where is the glory it has today?"

John looked at everyone viciously, and his voice echoed in the conference room, hitting everyone's heart.

"On March 8, 1900......"

John's words continued.

Here, in this room, the third patriarch of the Morgan family, JP Morgan, convened a family meeting to ask: Should the Morgan family move from the financial field to the industrial field?

In the end, the predecessors unanimously decided to break the clan rules and enter the industry.

From that day on, Morgan had its first industrial company, American Steel, General Electric, General Motors, ITT, AT&T... With railway companies, arms companies, media companies, power and energy companies, transportation companies, food and drug companies, there are now 28 companies in the world's top 500 Morgan's family, 52 companies in the Morgan family in the top 500 companies in the United States, and those companies that are not on the list, as well as small and medium-sized companies all over the world, Morgan's companies in the industry, the annual turnover has reached more than 600 billion US dollars, and this figure will exceed 1 trillion US dollars in ten years, not including Morgan's banks, investment companies, Insurance company...... and a series of financial companies with turnover. Just industrial companies.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Whenever I pick up "Phantoms" and read about what happened in this room 93 years ago, I am impressed by the wisdom of those who came before me, and I admire their courage to break the rules of the clan and surpass themselves.

It was the decision they made 93 years ago that allowed the Morgan family to enjoy nearly a hundred years of prosperity and will continue to do so.

Today, the Morgan family is once again at a crossroads and faces a choice, but this time it will be up to us to decide, whether to continue to bask in the achievements of our predecessors, or to break the rules and move forward like our predecessors?

John gestured to Daini as he said this, and Daini hurriedly handed John a thick book in his hand. John took the book and looked at it, then slammed it on the conference table and looked around.

"Today, everything that happens in this room will be recorded in the history of the Morgan family, and time is the most just judge, and the next ten or twenty years...... A hundred years from now, when future generations open this Phantom, it will be up to you to decide whether they should be proud of their ancestors or sad. ”
