This is actually a very normal phenomenon.

The current patriarch of the family has repeatedly failed in the business arena, leading to growing discontent within the family. The most important thing is that this situation of family decline has been seen by many people.

If nothing else, in such a toss, in a year at most, this seemingly wealthy family will be completely declared bankrupt like other families.

Rats leave a sinking ship.

If the family is completely bankrupt, then all the members of the family will become poor and white, and after getting used to living a rich life, no one wants to, nor willing, turn back and live that miserable life again.

So when the big ship of the family is about to face tilting and falling, the only way is to protect itself first.

As a result, the direct and collateral children of the Romero family began to turn their brains and try their best to leave a way back for themselves.

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the family business, which had been losing money one after another, naturally lost money faster and faster under such circumstances.

A month later, after the current patriarch got the profit and loss data, he almost smashed his jaw to the ground in surprise, and even, he wondered, is there something wrong with his eyes?

After the shock, the current patriarch realized one thing, the Romero family is very likely, about to become a historical term, and disappear into the long river of history, just like those families that were once glorious and eventually ruined.

And if nothing else, in the future genealogy, there will definitely be a very "brilliant and glorious" sum of a certain year, the first generation of patriarchs, resulting in the Romero family falling into the middle of the road, a failure, and a century-old family destroyed in his hands.

Although the current patriarch is not good at business and is proficient in eating, drinking and merrymaking, this does not mean that he has no sense of integrity.

On the contrary, this guy's self-esteem is much stronger than anyone else, after all, he is a person who has been a patriarch, and this alone makes him very proud.

After a few days of deliberation, the current patriarch gathered all the members of the family and held a family assembly.

At this family meeting, the current patriarch surprised everyone and conducted a self-examination, and made it clear that all the blame for the Romero family falling into the current predicament lies with himself, and as a punishment, he decided to give up the position of the patriarch of the family to a side disciple!

This news, like a depth charge dropped on the calm lake, instantly made the entire lake boil and roll uneasy.

Let the side children serve as the patriarch of the Romero family? This is something that has never happened in the history of the family!

So, on the spot of the meeting, many direct children jumped out and shouted loudly, expressing clear opposition to the patriarch's decision.

At that time, the current patriarch only said one sentence, if among these direct descendants, there are people who have the ability, ability, and hope to lead out the family that is currently in a desperate quagmire, and he will also give up the position of patriarch to any one of them.

As soon as this sentence was spoken, all the direct descendants who expressed their opposition suddenly became silent, looking at each other, and couldn't find a reason to oppose If there are people among them who have such ability, then they can't talk about the current patriarch to take the position of patriarch.

But immediately some people raised questions, let the side children take the position of patriarch, once the Romero family is really bankrupt, then who will be responsible for this responsibility?

The current patriarch immediately made it clear that if he went bankrupt, he would take this responsibility, and at the same time it was meaningful to everyone that if they continued like this, the bankruptcy of the family would be almost doomed, and those who wanted to get a piece of the pie would not end well.

Next, it was this side disciple who was entrusted with the expectations to take over the position of patriarch and began to work hard for the family to break free from the quagmire.

I have to admire, in this world, there are indeed business geniuses, and this side child who saved the Romero family happens to belong to this kind of business wizard, and after just a few months in office, the Romero family has a new vitality.

Next, he took the initiative again and again, grasped the psychology of the rich people in the upper class of Europeans at that time, launched the strategy of building luxury brands, and created the Adele jewelry and diamond brand that has been handed down to this day, as well as several clothing brands. The success of the Romero family re-entered the upper class of Europe.

Since this incident, all the members of the Romero family have discovered one thing, sometimes the patriarch does not necessarily have to be held by the direct descendants, if there are very good children in the side line, they can also serve as the patriarch.

Of course, this premise is that the children of the collateral line can compete with the children of the direct line.

Otherwise, under the same circumstances, it will inevitably be the direct children who will win.

Because the direct son, after all, is the pure blood of the Romero family, and once the side son takes power, it is difficult to say whether he will wholeheartedly help the development of the Romero family.

But this incident also gave hope to many side children, although they are also in the Romero family, holding various positions, but people's ** is endless, and no one wants to obey the command of others.

It was precisely because of this that Cross was a little nervous about the fact that Vir had brought back a lot of wealth from the sea.

Because with the development of the Romero family, the focus of the assessment of the side and direct children is all placed on the business field, and everyone starts to compete from the same starting line, to see who has good development and fast development, who has hope, and competes for the qualification to become the heir of the patriarch, so that he can take charge of the huge wealth and resources of the Romero family, and become the center of the pursuit of fame and fortune.

……

“…… Well, I got it. ”

On the other side of the phone, Cross's father's voice was low and powerful, as if it was full of magic, which suddenly made Cross's heart a lot quieter.

After a while, his father spoke: "In this competition for the inheritance of the patriarch, you and Weir are the most promising, his biggest advantage is that he is the only male, and your biggest advantage is your business acumen, intuition, talent, etc., which is what the Romero family values!" ”

"Hmph, these people in the Romero family, all of them are good ideas, they keep saying that excellent collateral children can also compete for the qualification of patriarch heir, but in fact, they still see if we can give them their lives, in the same situation, even if the direct children are obviously inferior to the collateral children, they are willing to let the direct descendants take charge of the family power."

"Weir's matter, although a little reckless, beyond everyone's expectations, but to a certain extent, it can also be regarded as his boldness because he brought back a large number of gold coins, as long as the operation is good, these gold coins will definitely be able to sell a lot of money, for Weir, it is his chips, the greater the value of these gold coins, the more chips he has."

Cross nodded, he had always had a blind trust and admiration for his father's vision and analysis.

Because from childhood to adulthood, there are many things that tend to develop according to my father's guess...... When Cross was a child, he even thought that all this was secretly designed by his father, but it wasn't until he grew up that Cross knew that it was all his father's speculation and analysis. It wasn't that he had the power of an unpredictable prophet.

This is also something that has always made Cross angry, because in his opinion, his father is far more intelligent than the current patriarch of the Romero family, Will's grandfather, but due to the identity of the side son, he has no chance to become the patriarch of the family.

Cross often thinks that if his father, who is also a direct member of the Romero family, bears the surname of the Romero family, then he must be the patriarch of the Romero family.

"Father, what do you say I should do now?"

After hearing his father's words, Cross humbly asked, "Should I take the initiative?" ”

"Take the initiative?"

"That's right."

"How do you want to take the initiative?"

"How about finding a way to let his gold coin auction fail?"

Hearing Cross's words, his father laughed dumbly and said: "Silly boy, this is impossible, since these gold coins are hundreds of years old, then they must have a certain archaeological value, such things, if the rich are not interested, there must be some scholars who are interested, and the probability of unsuccessful auction is simply negligible." ”

"What then?"

Hearing his father's words, Cross was a little discouraged and said, "Is there no other way?" Once these gold coins are auctioned for an astonishing price, it means that Weir's income this year is likely to exceed mine...... Father, it was not easy for me to win the qualification of the heir of the family, and this was still when Will's whereabouts were unknown, and now, not only did he come back safe and sound, but also obtained a huge amount of income, then I may not even have the qualifications to compete. ”

"Hehe, don't worry."

Cross's father comforted him on the phone, saying: "These gold coins do not necessarily represent a huge amount of wealth, it is also possible that it will become a big trouble, in the final analysis, it depends on how we operate this matter." ”

"Big trouble?"

Hearing his father's words, Cross felt a thrill in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Father, I'll go home immediately." ”
