Text Season 5 Red Dust Old Things_Chapter 779 Family Meeting 2
"Ahem!" After O'Neill coughed dryly, he lowered his voice and leaned into Li Xiaoqiang's ear and said: "Bamal is the leader of the family! He is also one of the twelve dukes of our Great Eagle Empire, it is best not to interrupt him when he speaks! Although he is very good at talking below, but on such an occasion, he is very stern! You kid give me attention!" Being taught such a lesson by O'Neill, Li Xiaoqiang lowered his head slightly in embarrassment! And his cheeks were like ripe apples, and in an instant they turned extremely red!
Duke Slotok paused, then picked up a letter placed next to him, shook it in front of everyone, and said, "Just yesterday!
"What?"
"FK! A small earl family dares to openly insult our Duke Slotok family, have they been kicked in the head by a donkey?" As soon as the Duke's words came out, they immediately caused a shout and scolding from everyone present!
"Why did the Smith family withdraw from the marriage! You must know that it is their honor to be able to marry our illustrious Slotok family! This is something that others have asked for for several lifetimes, but they can't ask for, and they don't even know how to cherish it!"
"I knew that these little nobles were unreliable! For them, it was a common thing to be untrustworthy! I was against us dealing with a small family like Smith in the first place! Look at ...... It's good now! Our grand duke's family has been severely humiliated by a little count! It's just disgusting!"
Duke Slotok was not angry at the shouting and scolding that filled the entire conference room! He just looked around at the dozens of people sitting at the round table and said, "I don't know my uncles and brothers! As the elder of the Slotok family, you are the elder of the Slotok family, and please tell me what you think about this incident!"
Marquis Leslie moved his lips, sighed and then spat out the words, "This is a disaster for our entire Slotok family!"
As soon as the Marquis of Leslie said this, it immediately made the people at the entire round table sigh! The heavy atmosphere instantly enveloped everyone at the entire round table!
"What does this mean? Isn't it just a small earl's family, how can it be a disaster for our family?"
"Uncle Leslie, where do you start with that?" the hundred or so people gathered around the round table exploded at once! They all looked at each other, they didn't know why an elder of the Slotok family would say this!
"Be quiet!" Duke Slotok knocked on the table, and everyone around him immediately shut their mouths as if they had been enchanted!
"Unfortunately, I would like to announce once again something even more terrible that you don't know!
"What?"
"What has happened to our Slotok family, and how has it come to such a serious collapse?" As soon as Duke Slotok's words fell, the entire conference room was like a thunderbolt being thrown into the calm lake, making the silent meeting room suddenly noisy!
"Don't panic, everyone, can you listen to me for a while?" Duke Slotok was worthy of being the leader of the entire family, and his calm attitude now gave the rest of the rest some peace of mind!
After glancing at the more than 100 people present, Duke Slotok said slowly: "Our Slotok family has a total of fifteen multinational groups and thirty-five well-known domestic groups! But what you may not know is that the overall income of our family business is now beyond its means! The financial deficit every month has reached a very alarming level! It is like a swimming pool with water supplied by a faucet, and in the blink of an eye, a hole the size of a barrel mouth has appeared! And most of our family's wealth has been evaporated unconsciously!" When he said this, Duke Slotok couldn't help but pause in his tone, and then continued: "Maybe you will all question why our dignified Grand Duke Slotok's family would marry a small Earl Smith family, then I tell you! The main reason for this is that we hope to use this marriage to drive the Smith family's capital injection!" Because in this way, with the flow of external funds, it is possible for our group enterprises to get fresh blood......! From this letter, it seems that our previous plan is not working! It seems that we will have to find another way!"
"Oh my God! our Slotok family is ...... It's actually come to this point!" "It's really indescribable, it's amazing! Except for those core family members sitting around the round table, the faces of the other more than 100 people were all filled with deep shock!
"But don't worry too much! As early as when the loophole appeared, our family's auditor organization had already launched a comprehensive investigation into all the groups and enterprises under it! Strive to find out the cause of such a big loss of wealth as soon as possible. I believe that once we can find the root cause of this, we will definitely be able to save the day! You must know that we are the Slotok family with the Violet Medal, and our hundreds of years of heritage have not been accumulated in vain!"
But in spite of Duke Slotok's swearing, to the people below, it sounded like a fantasy at all! At this moment, everyone's faces were full of amazement! At this moment, only the word amazement could be used to express the shock in their hearts!
Although the Duke said it very lightly, everyone understands a very important truth! That is, if their Duke family is compared to a big tree, then all the surrounding small and medium-sized nobles and branch members can be counted as the monkeys stored under this big tree! And since ancient times, there has only been one truth, that is, the tree falls and scatters! So once the economic empire of the Slotok family collapses, what will happen next, everyone can imagine with their toes!
"Although I don't want to admit this fact, but the truth of the matter is often so cruel! I can't afford to believe it in the slightest!" Duke Slotok met everyone's eyes and nodded slowly!
From the beginning to the present, the core members sitting around the round table did not say a word, so that an embarrassing silence condensed in the air.
"Dear Duke Bamar, you tell us the truth, how long can we support it?" A middle-aged man at the round table stood up and asked! He is mainly responsible for the sales of the Slotok Group's products in the European market, in fact, he has long discovered that something is wrong with the family group! From the recent large-scale layoffs, he knew that something big would happen in the family! Otherwise, it would not have reached the point of layoffs, but he never dreamed that their family would face such a serious problem!
"I don't need the Duke to tell you this question, so let me tell you about it! As for how long we will be able to support it, it's hard to say! Maybe maybe there will be a few more months! The key is not the problem of this support, but we must find a way to turn the family business into a profit! You must know that in the past few months, we have been transferring the funds of the profit-making group to the loss-making group! I believe you can understand how big the problem is, right?" The Marquis of Lylis, who had spoken before, smashed his mouth a few times and said slowly.
On the conference table that surrounded the large oval table, there was a sudden burst of whispered discussions! The people who had nothing to do just now chatting about the day all turned solemn after listening to the Duke's notice! If this had been done on a normal day, their expressions would definitely have been teased and pretended to be by their companions! But after all, this has reached the moment of life and death for the entire family, and who dares not to cheer up? You must know that for them, without the protection of the family, it will definitely be a catastrophe!
Duke Slotok was quite satisfied with the expressions of the family members at the moment! The more the family was at the moment of survival, the more they demanded that the family members be able to unite! Because only in this way could they turn the danger into a disaster and have a chance to revive the family! He pondered for a while and said: "After some discussions among the family seniors, we have come up with a set of methods that can relieve the pressure on the family's funds for the time being! Therefore, the most urgent task for everyone is to have full confidence in the family and be able to unite all of them!" Of course, in addition to telling you the news, I have one more thing to tell you about this family meeting today!" Duke Slotok is the biggest leader of the family, especially when he speaks, no one dares to question his authority!
"We are about to announce the entire political affairs of the family, and try to sort out the family from top to bottom! This time we will completely change the veins and blood of the entire family!" As soon as the Duke's words landed, Elder Westin's eyes were a little confused and muttered: "Our Slotok family has gone through ten generations since the Middle Ages to today! Our ancestors have left traces of glory in history, and they did not expect to ...... today. It is gradually declining in our hands! Hey! It is useless for our family to do anything now! Our Slotok family is destined to disappear in history, it has existed long enough! This is fate! Everything has its ups and downs, and now it is the turn of the Stoke family to fail!"
