Chapter 16: There Is Only One Truth
The blessing of Thortonton Manor, everyone in the world knows the British pit father, pit son, pit wife, pit daughter, pit the eldest son inheritance law of the whole family.
The so-called primogeniture inheritance law means that the inheritor of the noble title in a family must be the first legitimate son of the male owner, and this inheritance is granted by law, even if Chairman Victor himself wants to oppose it.
For the nobles of country Y, there are two main parts of the inheritance inherited by the eldest man: the first part is the noble title of the family, such as the title of the inheritable prince and son.
The second part is immovable property, including ancestral estates, territories and other family assets, which are often limited inheritance immovable property, and the family heirs themselves are only allowed to use and are not allowed to sell.
In the Victor Group, the ancestral shipping company of the Victor family is a limited inheritance property.
With the progress of the times and the development of society, Britain abolished the law of "limited inheritance" of family assets in 1925, and since then the daughters of nobles have the same rights as sons to inherit this part of the property.
But the elder Mr. Victor was a traditional English aristocrat who had grown up in the old days, and when he took over the inheritance of his ancestors, the shipping company was placed in the limited inheritance.
"You've been kicked out of the Victor Group, why are you still here?" asked Milielj Victor, standing outside the conference room door.
"My last name is Victor, but you can't get away if you want to, right, Barrister David Perry?" said the little Jew back to the man next to him, who nodded.
"Yes, Mr. James Victor, the Lords have been working all these years to protect the rights and traditions of the nobility. In accordance with the primogeniture law, Mr. James Victor and his son are entitled to represent the shipping company on the board of directors of the Victor Group. David Perry replied.
Before 1999, the British House of Lords was also called the House of Lords, and at that time, the British House of Lords had not undergone drastic legal reform, and the House of Lords was still controlled by the traditional hereditary nobility of the United Kingdom.
For example, in 1986, the House of Lords published a list of 1,196 members, of whom all but 64 were women and 349 were life nobles.
The origin of the life nobility in the House of Lords is complex, mainly for the sake of legislative balance, a kind of honorary title granted by the queen of country Y to high-ranking government officials, and in terms of the proportion of members of the House of Lords at that time, the hereditary nobility still accounted for the majority in the House of Lords in the early 90s.
Everyone knows the power of the British House of Lords, so even if Milielj Victor hated the little Jew so much, he could only watch Esther push the door of the conference room open and walk in.
"Damn, I forgot something so important. After saying this, Milielj Victor followed indignantly.
"Hello everyone, I'm Asher Victor. Today is my first time on the Board of Directors, and I would like to ask for your kind attention. I'm young and I don't have much work experience before......" Asher Victor was standing at the table and nervously introducing himself when the door to the conference room suddenly opened.
"Luckily, the board hasn't started yet, and I just had an accident on the road and had a little trouble, so it was delayed for a while. Are some of you surprised to see me standing here in perfect condition?" said the little Jew, who walked to the end of the table and sat down with his legs crossed.
The people in the room were indeed surprised to see the little Jew covered in bandages, and Mrs. Linda looked at the little Jew who interrupted her son's speech with displeasure, and wanted to eat him.
"Huh...... How can anyone come to the board of directors of the Victor Group?" said Viscount Onassi with a disdainful look at the little Jew who was not sitting and Asher Victor, who was relieved.
"Mrs. Mahler was not in good health, so she signed a power of attorney through her lawyer, entrusting me and my son, Asher Victor, as her plenipotentiary representatives on the board of directors of the Victor Group, to vote on the board of directors of the Victor Group in her place. MAHLE owns up to 45 percent of the shares in the group, and according to the Board of Directors, she gets two seats, so we will be here on a business trip. Mrs. Mahler explained.
In this way, it is quite natural for her and Asher Victor to appear on Victor's board of directors.
"Linda, they came to the board of directors because they have shares in the Victor Group, but James, what are you doing on the board? I remember you don't have any shares in the Victor Group, right?"
"Although I don't have a stake in the Victor Group, I have this!" said the little Jew, who took off the ring in his hand and put it on the black table, and the people at the scene stopped talking when they saw this.
"Is there anything special about this ring?" asked the CEO of the shipping company curiously, and he was the only one in the room who was from a civilian background, and he didn't know what it was.
"Although the shipping company under the Victor Group is nominally a subsidiary of the Victor Group, its ownership retains complete independence. Its ownership is not in the hands of the Victor Group but in the hands of the Victor family, and according to the equity registration done at the time of the establishment of the shipping company, the shipping company is actually a limited inheritance property belonging to the Victor family. And I'm the second in line to the shipping company! Unless the Victor Group relinquishes the shipping company, I'm eligible to sit on the board of directors. This is the right granted to me by the inheritance law of the eldest man of your country, and you can't take it away even if you are the chairman of Victor!" said the little Jew proudly, and the face of the CEO of the shipping company turned white when he heard this.
He is offending his future boss!
"Count you ruthless!" said Chairman Victor angrily, gritting his teeth angrily, and the rest of the Victor family dared not speak out.
"Ahem, since everyone is here, let's have a meeting first. The CEO of Victor Group hurriedly said.
"It's important to have a meeting! As you must know, there have been a lot of personnel changes in the Victor Group recently, and the general manager of the head office, Sharjah Victor, and the financial director of the shipping company, Levi Victor, have all left for personal reasons. The first issue for our board of directors is to elect a new group general manager and a financial controller of the shipping company. Chairman Victor said.
"Traditionally, the general manager of the Victor Group has always been the successor of the Victor Group, so the chairman intends for Mr. Miliel Victor to succeed his father, the general manager of Sharjah. I wonder what the directors here think?" asked the CEO of Victor Group.
"I'm against it!"
"I'm against it!"
Little Jew and Mrs. Linda raised their hands at the same time, and everyone looked at them.
"Linda, what are you messing up with? You are a woman who doesn't know how to run a company, so you just need to sit there obediently and listen to other people. Chairman Victor said with a frown.
"Since I'm sitting here today, I'm entitled to speak, and Ikri want you to think about it again, Asher is Miriel's uncle, and he should be the successor of the Victor group in the order of succession. The position of general manager should be Asher!" said Mrs. Linda excitedly.
"You want Asher to be the general manager of the Victor Group? This is impossible! Asher knows nothing but painting, how can he be the general manager of the group?" said Chairman Victor with a frown.
"Who said my son didn't know how to do business, but Asher had a double degree from the Royal Academy of Art and the University of London Business School!, why can't he be the general manager of the Victor Group?" asked Mrs. Linda.
"Even if you have a degree certificate, it doesn't prove that you have the ability to do business, I am the chairman of the Victor Group, and it is up to me to decide who will be the general manager. I think Miliel Biasher is more suitable for general management!" said Chairman Victor with a frown.
"Although you are the chairman of the Victor Group, according to the law, such a big matter as appointing the general manager of the group should be decided by the board of directors, and I am now the second largest shareholder of the Victor Group. I want everyone to vote on the general manager!" Mrs. Linda said suddenly.
"The shares in your hands are only held on behalf of Mahler, and they may be lost at any time! Do you want to compete with me for the support of the board of directors on this basis?" asked Chairman Victor disdainfully.
"Ikri don't want to fight with you either, but you think Asher is also your son, can't you give him a chance to try? Maybe Asher can do better than Isharjah?" said Lady Linda.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's just vote! I don't want to waste time watching you guys fight, I have an important matter to announce later." Little Jew said impatiently.
"Vote, vote! Anyway, I have 48% of the shares of the Victor Group, and the board of directors will definitely support me. Chairman Victor said confidently.
"Not necessarily! You might as well see the results of the vote first. Mrs. Linda said suddenly.
"I have 48 percent of the shares, plus 3 percent of Onasi's shares, and more than 51 percent of the board of directors, and I have an absolute controlling stake in the Victor Group. Chairman Victor said.
"I'm in favor of Asher Victor becoming the new general manager of the group!" said Sam Victor, who has a much better relationship with Mrs. Linda than with Chairman Victor. ,
Sam owns 3% of the Victor Group, so that Mrs. Linda and her supporters have a combined stake of 48%, which is the same as that of the chairman of Victor.
"I'm in favor of what Ikeli is against, so I'm also in favor of Asher Victor becoming the new general manager of the Victor Group. Director Howard Victor said he owns 2 percent of the Victor Group.
Mrs. Linda was temporarily ahead, but Chairman Victor was not in a hurry at all.
He's got hole cards!
"I'm sorry Ikli! I have decided to abstain from voting on this vote. Viscount Onassi said suddenly, and Chairman Victor looked at him in disbelief when he heard this.
"Uncle, why are you doing this? My grandmother is your own sister, why don't you help me?" asked Milielil Victor bitterly.
"I'm sorry Miliel, but I had to do this because I had to do it. Viscount Onassi said with a headache.
"I'm curious what you're up to, why did this woman Linda let you betray me?" asked Director Victor, angrily pointing at Mrs. Linda.
"I'm curious, too! What would make you give up your loved one to help an outsider?" asked the little Jew.
"I'm sorry, it's my privacy and I don't want to say it!" said Viscount Onassie, blindfolding.
"Since you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you!" You were caught by Mrs. Linda, and she threatened you to abstain, right?" Jia Lei said as he walked in from outside the conference room with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.
Kerr and Boer twitched the corners of their mouths to help Jia Lei open the door of the room, so that Jia Lei could achieve the effect of an amazing appearance, you must know that Jia Lei specially ordered a blue suit of the same style as Conan from the island country for this day.
Even this appearance has been rehearsed more than a dozen times!
Jia Lei...... Aren't you dead? Why did you suddenly come out of nowhere? Didn't the police station give you a death certificate, and I even saw your family come and bring your body back to China. Chairman Victor stood up and asked.
"Huh...... The death certificate and the family are fake, and this is just a trap that we negotiated with the police. In order to confuse the real murderer of the car accident!" Jia Lei said, as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of the cup falling to the ground sounded.
"Since you are still alive, is Charles Victor still alive?" Mrs. Linda asked nervously as she stood up nervously, and Chairman Victor's face turned white when he thought of this possibility.
"Yes, Mr. Charles is a rare good man in the Victor family, how could he die so easily. Jia Lei nodded and said.
"Brother, I didn't expect that the first person to care about my life and death was not you but Linda! Don't you think it's too strange?" said Mr. Charles, who was helped by the driver.
Mrs. Helen pushed the little Jew's grandmother after them, and the little Jew ran over to stand behind her when he saw Wong.
"This can't be!" London Bridge is 60 meters above the water, and the water below it is so deep and cold that the inertia of the car rushing into the water can't even open the door, how did you escape?" asked Mrs. Linda in disbelief.
"We were lucky that the window was open when the car fell into the river, so we were able to open the door and escape! Charles Victor was glad that they would have died had it not been for the accident.
"Huh...... , Mrs. Linda, why do you know so much about the information at the scene of the car accident? Don't you think it's too strange for you to be like this?" Jia Lei asked as he stretched out his little collar, and everyone in the room looked at Mrs. Linda suspiciously.
"I ...... I was just worried about the safety of Mr. Charles and you, so I went to ask someone about the accident scene. Mrs. Linda said in a panic.
"You're lying! Normal people will be more concerned about the body of the deceased and the aftermath at this time, and only two kinds of people will care about the ...... at the scene of the accident," Jia Lei said for a moment, waiting for someone to answer.
It's a pity that the cartoon Detective Conan won't be broadcast until 96, and no one on the scene can cooperate with Jia Lei pretending to be 13.
"Jia Lei, I don't have time to play with you, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly!" The little Jew frowned and said, these people present were about to die of Jia Lei's urgency.
"From a reasoning point of view, only the police and the prisoners would care about the detailed data of the accident scene, Lady Linda, since you know so well where we happened. Then there is only one truth——, the prisoner is you. Jia Lei pointed to Mrs. Linda and said.
"Isn't this impossible, hasn't the police department already found out the murderer, how could Linda have become a criminal? Why did she do this?" asked Chairman Victor in disbelief.
