Text Season 3 Red Dust Old Things_Chapter 880 Family Meeting 3
"Are you too shrewd, a little too much? A bunch of selfish things! Are you, as the elders of the Slotok family, so enlightened? If you only think about yourself in everything, can't you think more or less about the interests of the family? I have never seen you repay the family a single penny when you were the only one who drew the blood of the family! Now it is the civilized society of the 21st century, if it had been in the Middle Ages, I would have pushed you out and hanged you all and put you to death! "Angry Duke Slotok, the more you talk, the more angry you become!
The elders and clan members who saw the duke's anger for the first time seemed to have turned into wooden people at this moment, and they didn't even dare to breathe! Since they became the elders of the Slotok family, when had they been reprimanded like this? Seeing those self-righteous old guys who had been high up all the time being so reprimanded by the duke, everyone, including Li Xiaoqiang, secretly clapped their hands in their hearts!
"I really don't take the duke seriously! I dare to look at the duke's face, you have to bear it this time!"
"What a beautiful lesson!"
"As the elder of the family, have you really thought about the family? Some time ago, when the family found out the bottomless pit, you asked me to marry Xiao Lun out and give you financial support! Could it be that I have a daughter in the entire Slotok family? Don't you have a daughter or granddaughter? Why don't you marry off your daughter and granddaughter in exchange for funds? All day long, when you open your mouth and close your mouth, you know that you want me for money! If you don't give money, you threaten me with bankruptcy! How about it? Now it's okay? Are you satisfied?The Heart of the Ocean has been attacked, and the foundation of the family has been shaken, are you all satisfied?Is this the benefit that you have left to our children and grandchildren as elders?"
"Lord Duke, you ......" The usual arrogance is gone, and everyone's eyes are full of horror and astonishment!
"Bamal, I think you're going too far!" An elder rubbed his face with a grim face, stood up from his seat, pointed at Duke Slotok, and said with a sinister smile: "I think you have forgotten the rules of our family! As long as more than half of us elders agree to remove you, we have the right to re-elect the duke of our family! Do you want us to collectively dismiss you? Among the elders present, take an elder who is not yours? You dare to treat us like this!"
"Haha! I haven't said that I want to remove you one by one, you want to depose me so soon?I tell you! you have no chance!" said Duke Slotok, then turned his gaze to the family members behind them and said, "Members of the Slotok family! As I said before, the reason why our family has fallen into this terrible state is entirely because of the long-term inaction of these so-called family elders and the long-term enrichment of their own pockets! I'm going to eliminate them all now, and re-select a group of capable people to be elected as family elders, I don't know if you have any opinions?"
"Bamal, you can't remove us! we are the elders of the Slotok family, and these inferior nobles are not qualified to decide whether we will stay or not!" one of the elders shouted loudly.
"Fart, what do you mean we're inferior nobles? We belong to the Slotok family, so why are you on top of it?"
"That's it, we will listen to the arrangement of the Duke today, and we must get rid of all of you! Otherwise, our Slotok family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!" The elder's words immediately aroused everyone's condemnation!
"Ladies and gentlemen, please raise your right hands if you have also dismissed these people!" Duke Slotok raised his hands and pressed them down, signaling for silence!
"I agree!"
"We will also drive out these black sheep!" The shouts of resignation came and went, and as far as the eye could see, almost all the family members raised their right hands! The people of these side families were not less suppressed by these elders! So now that they saw the opportunity, how could they not use their strength vigorously, and some even raised their hands.
Watching so many people raise their hands, those elders are all blindfolded! Nearly ninety-five percent of the representatives of all the family groups raised their hands, what does this mean?
"How could this be!" Is the career of the family leader about to come to an end? Unwillingness, anger, helplessness, and shockWhen these emotions are all expressed on the faces of the elders, it is simply as wonderful as a face-changing play! The higher they stand, the worse they fall! In the blink of an eye, they fell from the top of the pyramid! This was absolutely unimaginable to them before!
"You can't remove me! You can't do this, I'm not like them, I've dedicated my life to the Slotok family! Besides, I have several companies in my hands that can create benefits for the family, you can't just get me out!" said Elder Graemu, with a sad face, looking at the Duke and then at the crowd in the room.
"Do you think it's still convincing for you to say this now, Elder Grimm? Who said that the company was about to go bankrupt and wouldn't be able to survive even a month?" Duke Slotok asked coldly, snorting coldly.
"Bamal, you can't do this to me! You have grown up watching you since childhood, how can you treat your uncle like this! Besides, I have given so much to our Slotok family, how can you touch my credit with a word!" The other elder is relatively smart, and he has chosen to start from the aspect of family affection!
"Oh, my uncle, it seems that the contribution of your team is far less than what you have asked for from your family, right? When you were arguing with each other just now, it seems that you said a lot of things that should not be said, right? If I hadn't thought that you were all old men of the family, believe it or not, I would have immediately notified the police station and asked them to send you moths to prison!" Duke Slotok smiled coldly, then looked up at the hundreds of family representatives present and said: " Now I announce an important matter in my capacity as the Duke of the Slotok family! From now on, all the eighteen elders who originally belonged to our family will be revoked from today! But considering that you are old, I will not worry too much about you, and you can still be regarded as members of our Slotok family! And some groups and enterprises under your name will soon be dissolved! Of course, I will not take back your private property, including clubs, racing cars, and racetracks!"
"I don't agree! Bamal, I want to protest!"
"Yes! We want to protest against your autocracy! Now is a civilized society ruled by law in the 21st century, you can't be so autocratic!" one of the elders shouted loudly.
"Your hair is invalid! I am now using the title of Duke of Slotok to deal with the internal affairs of the family! As long as you still recognize you as a member of our family, you must agree unconditionally!" Duke Slotok said unceremoniously and directly.
"Don't forget, I'm still a member of the House of Lords of the Great Eagle Empire, and if you continue to be stubborn, I will report this matter to the House of Lords and let Her Majesty the Empress of the Great Eagle Empire personally take care of it!"
"Presumptuous, don't you want to stay in our Slotok family anymore? In this family I am the duke, I am the leader of the whole family, not to mention the House of Lords, even the empress has no right to ask us about our own family affairs!" the Duke of Slotok slammed the table and shouted loudly.
"In addition, I declare that for the sake of the unified management of the family, during this special period, our Slotok family will no longer set up an elder! When the crisis of our family has passed, the position of elder will be re-elected among you!" When Duke Slotok's voice landed, the hundreds of delegates in the hall immediately cheered! Today, Duke Slotok's action is really too wise, and it is really too happy!
"Long live Duke Slotok!"
"Lord Duke, your decision is really too wise!" Compared to the long-standing position of an elder, Lord Duke's words are undoubtedly a chance for those family members below to be promoted!
"For the revival of our Slotok family, we can't go on like this! We must concentrate the manpower, material resources, and financial resources of the entire family to support the Heart of the Ocean, so I declare in my capacity as the Duke of Slotok! From now on, the family business ......" At this time, Duke Slotok's tone was very heavy, and it was obvious that he was deeply touched by what Li Xiaoqiang said just now! And for him, the head of a family, to personally say the decision to dissolve many family businesses, it is not just as simple as heartache, but also requires considerable courage to support!
The family members present also held their breath at this moment! Their eyes widened, staring at Duke Slotok tightly. Many of them are middle-level or employees of family businesses, and many of them have not received their salaries for several months because of the group's poor returns! For them, they have already been prepared for the collapse of the group! But now that they really have to face this, their hearts are more or less heartbroken!
"From now on! I declare in my capacity as Duke Slotok that all businesses except Heart of the Ocean will be declared bankrupt!" "What should come is still coming! Everything is for the revival of tomorrow! Although many people understand this truth, they still shed tears of sorrow at this moment! Once upon a time, as members of the Duke Slotok family, their hearts were filled with great pride and pride! But now...... All that the family left for them was tears!
At such a historic moment of great significance, the simultaneous closure of dozens of family groups and enterprises will definitely cause a huge sensation in any country! All this will no longer exist after today.
"Crazy! Crazy! Bamal, you're completely crazy! Do you know what that means?"
"Bamal, do you know what kind of disaster you will bring to the whole family by doing this? You are responsible for the decline of the family!" Seeing the collapse of the family business, the whole family has fallen into decline, and a group of elders seem to be so lost and depressed! Even the accusations against Duke Slotok have become so pale and powerless! From today on, the Duke Slotok family of the Great Eagle Empire will be reduced to the most declining and miserable of the eighteen duke families!
Although we are now in the most dangerous and difficult stage, I am confident that I will take you to rebuild the glory of our Slotok family in the near future! Today we have retreated, but you must remember that we are here to live better tomorrow!" As Duke Slotok shouted loudly, a sad atmosphere filled the entire hall! Looking at the tears left in the eyes of his own people, Duke Slotok couldn't help but choke! But he knows that as the leader of the family, he must not cry! He has to live strongly, and there are still many things waiting for him to deal with in the future!
"Our Slotok family will definitely regain its glory!" shouted many people in unison.
"Reinvigorate the glory!"
"Honor is with us!" At this moment, the shouts of the clansmen deeply shocked the Duke of Slotok and the elders who once thought they were high! The sense of family honor and the courage of knights, which had been lost by this family for a long time, finally returned to them at this moment!
At the same time, so many groups and enterprises were declared bankrupt, and Duke Slotok knew very well in his heart that this rumor would deal a fatal blow to their family's reputation! The shock of this move to the entire Eagle Empire was definitely no less than a tsunami! As one of the eighteenth dukes at the top of the Great Eagle Empire, he actually declared bankruptcy! This matter is a big joke no matter where it is obtained! But he was also forced to have no choice, rather than let the entire family collapse, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the family still has a glimmer of life, desperately fight! Give up those burdens, the heart of the ocean can be re-operated without worry! As long as the heart of the ocean can not be as regular, then the revitalization of the family is just around the corner!
Li Xiaoqiang was thinking in his heart at the moment, now should be the best time to speak for himself! So he quickly got up and stood up and said, "Lord Slotok! I have a request, I hope you can agree!"
