Chapter 124: Legacy

Catherine shook her head and said, "I will accept these small gifts, but I don't want the house." I wouldn't have settled in London without Yannick, and I'm very satisfied to be able to reap the love I have with him. ”

Hannah didn't dwell on the topic, and said to Nicole, "Nicole, I am very touched that you attended the funeral as a family member at today's funeral. I'm the only one left in this house now, would you like to come and keep us company?"

Nicole hesitated for a long time before she said with difficulty: "Grandma Hannah, I'm only sixteen years old, and I still want to have my own career." ”

Hannah sighed. "I see what you mean, I thought Jonas would be more glamorous than Hollywood...... It's a shame really. ”

She cheered up, looked at Laken's girlfriend Naira and said, "Nera, would you like to take Catherine and Nicole upstairs to sit on my behalf?"

Naira immediately stood up and saluted slightly: "It's my honor, Catherine has always been my idol, and Nicole is also beautiful to fascinate me as a girl." ”

After the three of them left, the Emir was left with no one from the Hoffman family. There are also Vera's daughter Traline and her German husband Bad Kirchen, who also enjoy the Hoffmann family annuity but will not be involved in the Hoffman family affairs.

Hannah then spoke again: "Yannick had an accident, although our family members leave a will with the lawyer every year, but this year, his business plan is too big.

Tomorrow, we will look at Yannick's will in the company of a lawyer, and I don't think it will spell out all his assets and debts.

So, in the next few days, we need to review all of Yannick's business plans for this year, and check Yannick's accounts according to the original will.

Emir, I want you to stay because I want to tell you that the assets and debts left by Yannick belong to Jonas. You, as his mother, can be involved in the process of fighting for Jonas's legal rights. ”

Emir shook his head and said, "Mother, I believe in the justice of the Hoffman family, and I believe in your love for Jonas. The only reason I'm here is just to take care of you guys for a few days in my life. ”

Hannah nodded, she just showed her attitude, she really wanted to do something, and no one dared to expect this unreliable stupid Bai Tian.

Hannah glanced at Jonas and then at Philip. "Yannick's investments and expenses in Switzerland, including debts, I have some names here, but outside of Switzerland, Yannick's shop is too big, although Jonas has negotiated terms with Mark, Mark will provide us with all the convenience, but we also need a credible third-party firm to help us notarize. ”

Philip nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange it." ”

The Hoffman family originally opened a bank, and the family has a large number of actuaries who are proficient in auditing accounts. However, it is still a difficult task to check the accounts of another interest group with assets of tens of billions of dollars from beginning to end.

In particular, when calculating the profit or loss belonging to Yannick, a third-party assessment must be given by a third-party firm.

Before dinner, Jonas had a short time to read today's paper, and the front page of the newspaper was the news of Swiss Foreign Minister Stokach's solemn protest against the Armenian government.

In a routine investigation by the Swiss police last night, more than 200 spies from various countries were arrested, most of whom belonged to Armenia.

In the world's diplomatic circles, military attachΓ©s of embassies are intelligence personnel with the tacit approval of various countries, and they shoulder the responsibility of collecting information from various countries and enhancing information exchange.

In addition to this, all intelligence agents, as well as spies of all kinds, are illegal.

In particular, in the course of this investigation, more than three action teams affiliated with the CIA were found, which is even more sensitive.

The operational teams are special members of the intelligence personnel of various countries who are not protected by diplomatic law, and their identities are sensitive and in many cases, they are not even recognized by the motherland.

However, if the personnel are captured, the countries still have to save when there is no major loss.

Today, Switzerland has expelled more than 180 intelligence agents and classified them as persona non grata, while the remaining dozen remain in a prison in Zurich.

Although we have not yet seen the reaction of various countries, it is clear that there will be a lot of diplomatic turmoil in the future. Wait until the big things are small and the small things are turned into small things, and the other party pays the corresponding chips, and these people will be released.

Switzerland is full of emotion from all walks of life, as a permanently neutral country, it is acceptable for countries to send intelligence officers, and these people who are found out are just unlucky, but the task force is absolutely different.

Philippe turned on the TV, and the news channels of the major Swiss TV stations on the TV were scrolling through the list of captured people and their identities today.

In the face of Swiss accusations and protests, the CIA in Armenia has not yet responded.

Their defense minister was rather embarrassed, emphasizing on television that Armenia was peace-loving, that most of the intelligence agents captured by the Swiss government were regular business personnel, and that the three operational teams were only private vacations.

However, he could not explain why these personnel carried weapons with them.

Now is not the next generation, and now the East and West are still in the final stage of the Cold War, and it is very common to arrange intelligence personnel.

They were embarrassed only by the fact that the members of the action group were captured, but they could not deny that these people were their people.

There was a lively verbal fight on TV, and Jonas really understood the meaning of Richie's personal conversation with him yesterday.

The attitude of the Hoffman family is not actually in his heart, and the main reason why Richie values the Hoffman family is because of Yannick, not him, Jonas.

What if the Hoffmanns didn't make the same noise as him? His use of Swiss officials to deal with those who wanted to deal with him with such fanfare, and without the slightest concealment, meant that he was not afraid of anyone.

He is now the banner of Europe against the Armenian oil dollar, and Europe will certainly protect him.

He was able to treat Jonas as an equal, mainly because Yannick's friendship was still there.

If Jonas had the ability to do so in the future, he would have one less threshold to enter than others, but until he had the corresponding ability, he would only be able to rely on Yannick's shadow to get a different eye.

Although he is a reborn, he is still not a partner approved by Richie.

"What are you thinking?" Hannah kept an eye on Jonas' reaction.

Jonas breathed a long sigh of relief, squeezed out a smile and said: "Swiss officials will not arrest intelligence officers in a big way without reason, since the First World War, this has been the main battlefield for intelligence officers in the East and the West. ”

Hannah nodded and said, "That's what you think." Look at this news......"

She handed over a copy of the Neue ZΓΌrcher Zeitung, which carried the news of a false alarm at the Armenian embassy.

Philip, who was sitting on the other side of Jonas, asked, "Could this be Richie's doing?"

"An individual against the country, even if it is a counterattack, cannot cause irreparable results. Being able to do this already represents his attitude. What's more, there are deep factors behind it.

For example, why did Switzerland use the police to conduct an investigation, why did Britain be willing to abandon its position and silently support him against Armenia, and why did other countries, such as Germany, France, and the Soviet Union, choose to support Richie this time?"

"It's Europe's attempt to break their monopoly on world oil," Jonas said. ”

Hannah nodded, patting the back of his hand lightly. "As a leader, you can not have business ability, but you must not have a keen eye and touch. ”

Andrei asked with some surprise: "Jonas, you have analyzed the cause behind this diplomatic incident with this little information?"

Philip shook his head and said, "If you could be like Jonas, I would have been able to enjoy life with your mother a long time ago." ”

Philippe is the nickname in the family, in fact his name is Lucas, and although he is the richest man in Switzerland, he has no greed for money.

What supports him is the responsibility of the family and his dedication.

Now he is almost sixty years old, and he does not have such a strong sense of dedication. But not only Andrei, but even Laeken is not a qualified successor.

Hearing his father reprimand his brother, Raken immediately couldn't sit still, got up and walked to the kitchen. "I'm going to see my mom, are they ready for dinner?"

Philip sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's all because I used to spoil them too much." ”

The phone rang, and it was the doorman who reported that Osberg had arrived.

After a while, Osberg entered the room with a briefcase, and then took out a large lacquered envelope.

No one would think that he would change the will, because it was in triplicate, one for Yannick himself, one for the bank, and one for the lawyer.

Hannah opened the envelope directly, pulled out the will, which was seven or eight pages long, looked at it for a while, looked up and said, "Yannick has done better than I expected over the years. ”

Philip wanted to take the will and read it, but Hannah handed it to Yankel and said, "Look at it first, see the gap between you and your brother." ”

Jonas wanted to know how much Yannick had left him, but he held back his curiosity and waited for them to finish reading.

Yankel and Jacob, including Andrei, looked at the list of wills and let out exclamations from time to time, which was enough to prove that his father's legacy would not be less.

Family inheritance and personal inheritance are completely different concepts, just like the family's private bank, Yannick only has the right to manage, not ownership, and the ownership belongs to all members of the family, that is, the management committee of the family fund.

The advantage of this is that the bank will never be divided, everyone in the family will have the benefit, and the succession will not be affected by a few losers.

But personal assets are different, and if there is no special note in the will, there are only two heirs, Hannah and Jonas.
