Chapter 317: Old John
The old John's family is completely different from the black gold family, he is a figure who cannot retire, and although he is old, he still holds the power of the family. His way of doing things is also diametrically opposed to the Black Gold Family, and in order to prevent cannibalism, the Black Gold side can make King completely free from touching the family's righteous things. However, Old John pursued the law of the jungle, he arranged several sons to several large areas for trading management, and then gave them a minimum annual sales amount, after deducting this amount, an annual evaluation, which will directly affect their wealth and power, and it is said that it will even affect the inheritance of the next generation of Old John's position.
Therefore, Old John's words and deeds have a great impact on several sons, and David, as the third son, also has the right to inherit, so when he heard his father's summons, did he hurry to take his daughter over? Like Gianna, when she was outside, she was screaming and shouting at her subordinates, and she was fierce and willful to outsiders, but when she heard that she wanted to see her grandfather, she was also nervous and waiting quietly outside the door.
They didn't wait long, and after a while the secretary opened the door and asked them to enter. Old John, who was sitting at the table, just glanced at Gianna and asked, "I heard that Anna met the second boy of the Liu family in the United States?" β
"Yes, old John." Gianna replied with trepidation that the highest person in the family here was called Old John, and there could be no other name, and that his successor would automatically change his name to Old John when he inherited the position.
Old John nodded, "That kid is the only one I admire in the Black Gold Family, and I'm very satisfied that you can have that kind of fate with him." The Old Johns and the Black Gold are at odds, and you can't tolerate any of them, with this exception. β
"Exceptions?" Gianna's eyes widened, and even David was puzzled, wondering how this old John changed his temperament, and would change the family's consistent position because he admired a person? "That means..."
"That means that Old John supports you, and from now on you can get out of the family's main business and go to the United States to get an entertainment company, so that you can get closer to him." Saying that, he didn't wait for Gianna to speak, he waved her hand directly, sent her out, and left David alone.
"You must be wondering why I allowed Anna to be with that kid, right?"
"Yes, Old John, you shouldn't have made such a decision based on our relationship with the Black Gold Liu family."
"Starting next month, you'll be in charge of business in Asia." Old John's words cannot be questioned.
"What?!" David was taken aback, the Asian region was the largest area of business in the world deliberately arranged by John Sr., which did not mean that he had any upper hand in the battle with the black gold family in Asia. It's just that he has set up the whole of Asia as one region, while Europe, which is about the same size, has three regions. On the surface, he seems to be doing a good job in Asia, but that's just a trick to show people.
However, despite this, no one at the helm wants to go to Asia, and who does not want to make money in peace, but there is a fear of being targeted by the government and the behemoth of the Black Gold family.
David immediately figured out the joints, "Old John, do you think the relationship between Gianna and Liu Zhenwu can be successful?" Want me to make this happen? β
Old John shook his head and said, "You're wrong, I don't think the two of them can make it." Of course, I also hope that the two of them can succeed, if the two of them can succeed, it means that the kid of the Liu family does not reject our business, and if he becomes my grandson-in-law according to his ability, I do not rule out passing the position of Old John to him. β
"What?" David's shock was even worse, "No matter how capable he is, he is just a loser in the competition for the patriarch of the Black Gold Family, why are you so optimistic about him?" β
"Loser?" Old John laughed, "The information you got is too backward, he is not a failure, the black gold boss made a fatal mistake this time." That is, in the selection of the patriarch, let them use a game to decide, except that the winner is the king and not his brother. β
"Won't it?" David absolutely couldn't understand this, for their family, several brothers were competing with each other, just to compete for the last old John status, since King won the patriarch, why didn't he hold the position? "How is this possible?"
Old John showed a rare smile, "This is what I said about the fatal mistake, since you have to play the game, you have to respect the result, and the patriarch who does not respect the result has no credibility." You see, before their game, the family was very high-profile, but after the game, it was only announced that Liu Chengzong would be the patriarch, and the result of the game was not said. As far as we know, King won the game, but didn't get the patriarch, otherwise why did he immediately announce his separation from the family? Can't David see the problem? β
"The family is unfair, and the guide zhìking is separated from the family?"
Old John nodded, "As far as we know, this is the case, such a practice leaves hidden dangers, and the Chinese originally like infighting." It is because of this that Liu Chengzong was determined as the heir early, but after this competition, the support rate of the patriarch of their generation will inevitably decline, and some family elders will turn to support this king. I may not be able to see it now, but once the old guy in Shanghai is gone, it will explode, and that's what we're expecting, so that's what matters. I don't think this king will support our business, but if Gianna succeeds in getting close to the king and influencing him to be more capable of competing with the desire to compete with the head of the family, Asia will no longer be a monolith. β
David nodded, he already fully understood Old John's plan, "But there is a long way to go before that. β
"Well, that's good, so I can lower the quota in Asia, and even sacrifice some of my interests to win the favor of this king, but also to achieve this goal."
"So is there a limit to sacrificing benefits?" David asked eagerly that he wanted to know what he could do.
"Basically," said Old John, "if you have to set a ceiling, you can sacrifice the entire Golden Triangle, the temptation is big enough, isn't it?" It's just one thing, this decision doesn't restrict the behavior of your brothers, according to the rules, they can be sabotage. β
David didn't worry about his brothers sabotage, he was used to it for so many years, "What about Anna?" The reason why we lowered our posture was to grab more territory in the later stage, and she and Liu Zhenwu still had no results, which seemed too cruel to her. β
"David, how can you have such a thought, what cannot be sacrificed for the good of the family? Didn't I also say that if she had the ability to let King join the old John family, I would even pass on the position of old John to him, and if she failed to achieve that goal and only caused civil strife in the black gold family, it was you who took the greatest credit, David, and you will be the most powerful challenger to old John. In that case, what are you hesitating about? β
"One qiΔ for the sake of the family." David said.
Gianna didn't know what they were talking about, but intuitively she didn't think it would be a good thing. But it doesn't matter, as long as the family doesn't hinder her desires. After waiting for a while, David came out of it, and she hurriedly asked, "Old John wasn't joking, was he?" Support me to start an entertainment company? β
"Old John never joked," said David, "and he admired the young man's talent as much as you did, and decided to support you." Anna, you can get out of the family business and go all out to that entertainment company and invest in the film and television industry, and John Sr. decided to support it in unlimited amounts. β
Gianna couldn't accept this kind of high-profile support, "So, I know that he is from the Heijin Liu family, can't I let him know that I am from the old John family?" β
David shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, Old John's support this time is all-round, in order to help you win the king, even at the expense of some of our interests in Asia, I have been transferred to the helm of the Asian region." Hearing this, Gianna's complexion changed drastically, and this kind of benefit transfer was unprecedented.
(Gianna fell in love with King, and David thought that the Black Gold family and the old John family must be incompatible, so they couldn't have a romance.) But unexpectedly, in order to cause civil strife in the black gold family, John Sr. fully supported Gianna, and next, she will go to the United States to invest in the entertainment industry. οΌ
