Saturday morning.

A small table surrounded four girls.

Hola and Antotica sat across from each other, with girls named Inge and Fanny sitting on the left and right.

Inge and Antotica have one thing in common, that is, their fathers are both counts, and they are also the two parents in the entire third class after Ciro.

It is precisely because of this that the two slowly communicate with each other at the request of their parents and their own wishes, but although they don't hate each other, they don't have too many topics in common.

After all, both of them are only sixteen-year-old girls, and even if they are born into aristocratic families and know more about the so-called "etiquette" than others, it is difficult for them to force themselves to show that they like each other very much.

In Antotica's eyes, of the four people present today, only Hera is her "own person", which is why she specially brought Hera here, if she must integrate into any so-called circle, at least be with her good friends.

Fanny doesn't have a special identity on the surface, but in fact, everyone knows who she is.

The illegitimate daughter of the real big capitalist - the mad businessman Dickinson.

Thirty percent of Wharton's public transportation was controlled by Dickinson, and he traveled to all walks of life, with more than 20 percent of Wharton's shares owned by him, and Dickinson himself invested a lot of money in education.

In the early years, when trains were not so popular, he was the first to come up with money to invest in construction, which also led to his continuous profits today, and it is difficult to be replaced by others.

Recently, he also took out a large amount of money, set up a subsidiary, recruited a few people who moved a large iron box to him with a high salary, and invested a lot of personnel money in something like a computing device related to vacuum tubes.

In addition to the large conglomerates involved in more than 20 industries, he is also one of the few big capitalists who is difficult to shake, because his industry is rooted in the political center and infrastructure of the country, so if the Dickinson group goes bankrupt, the whole of England will be indeliblely hit.

Some say Dickinson has reached the pinnacle of a businessman, but even for someone like him, there is a problem that must be faced.

That is, there is simply no one who can inherit his business empire.

His own wife had five children, four boys and one girl, but the gifted eldest son died in an accident at the age of twenty-one, and the third son, Ebel, had disappeared not long ago, while the other three children did not look like their father at all.

It's not that they are not excellent, after they were born in such a family, although they had resources that others envied from the beginning, none of them slackened, and tried their best to continue to impact upward in their respective fields.

In this family, they don't feel any pride and sense of accomplishment, because their father is too great, so these rich second generations spontaneously continue to work hard.

But the problem is that their father is too great, even if they try their best to take every step, they can't even see their father's back.

It's too far away, if some of them are talents, some are geniuses, and their fathers are an era.

The era of commerce named after Dickinson, who, in the history of commerce, is an inescapable name for the entire continent.

And some people say that because of this, the mad businessman showed mercy after his wife's death, as if he wanted to have a child who could afford the business empire so that it would not fall apart, or even go further.

In this way, the mad businessman Dickinson has dozens of illegitimate sons and illegitimate daughters, real and false.

Fanny was the unobtrusive one of them.

Inge and Antotica hold their knives and forks with great grace, and they both handle them the same way in some details.

Hola should have the simplest etiquette among the several people, and Fanny also imitated the "elegant" movements of the two with difficulty at first, but after seeing Hara's movements, she no longer tensed her body, and directly held the knife and fork generously and used it easily.

Fanny asked:

"Sister Hara, is your father also a businessman?"

Hara's cheeks bulged out like squirrels, and she replied as she ate her cake:

"I guess so, Hewen said he was coming to Wharton to invest in an industry he was interested in. ”

Fanny threw out a topic that most people would be interested in:

"My father was also a businessman, and you must have heard the name of the madman Dickinson. ”

Inge nodded, and Antotica looked interested.

"Yes. Hola nodded solemnly.

In the city of Firth, the one who surrounded her and the witcher Mika was Abel Dickinson, the son of the mad merchant Dickinson.

Then he seemed to be gone.

Fanny knew that her identity was very sensitive, and others would not usually take the initiative to bring up the topic, but she herself often used Dickinson to open the topic.

Fanny says:

"You know, I'm Dickinson's illegitimate daughter, do you know why he's obsessed with letting his children inherit his business?"

Inger was stunned:

"Do you want to give away the family business you have built to a stranger?"

Antotica:

"Yes, isn't it normal for children to inherit their own property?"

Fanny smiled:

"It may be true for ordinary people, but for my father, it is completely unnecessary, he is not the kind of man who cares about family affection, and an illegitimate daughter like me, who has never met him a few times, is much better than a stranger.

"It's better to say that the subordinates who have been working hard with him for many years are more familiar with us than us. ”

Hara asked:

"Why is that?"

Fanny said mysteriously:

"Would you like to......

"Actually, it's very simple, because now all the people are not capable of inheriting the Dickinson group, even if the shares are divided to their respective business deputies, it is difficult to maintain the current group, these companies are all connected in series, just like different parts of a huge mechanical beast, where it is missing, the mechanical beast cannot operate normally.

"And to run this mechanical beast, it takes a genius who borders on madness. ”

And the reason why he is running around is that he expects to give birth to a child who inherits his talents. ”

Inge says:

"Wow, it's worthy of the crazy businessman Dickinson, I can only say that it makes people feel incomprehensible at the same time, and at the same time, there is a kind of inexplicable admiration. ”

Fanny smiled.

In fact, a large part of this story has been processed by her own art, and the second half is based on a fact.

The simple fact is that the mad merchant Dickinson really doesn't care who inherits his business empire, he just wants the Dickinson group to stand in England long after his death.

The Dickinson Group is more like the inheritance of his will and spirit than his bloodline, and even if he and his descendants are all dead, as long as the Dickinson Group still exists, then Dickinson is still alive.
