Chapter 329: The Wind Rises
The so-called wind rises, the introduction comes from the old man in S City, he announced his retirement because of physical problems, and his condition is showing signs of deterioration at this time.
As a powerful figure who has ruled the entire family for nearly half a century, he has accumulated great power in such a large organization, and even though he has been retired for nearly four years, the current head of the family still has to ask him for advice on many issues. But under the influence of such a powerful figure, the prestige of the current head of the family is relatively much lower, not to mention that in the internal circulation of the family, his position as the head of the family is still given to him by the king.
No one dared to raise this question when the old master's body could still support it, but there was already a factional dispute in private, and a very "martial" faction was secretly produced, and the real purpose was to muddy the water, reduce the dominance of the family owner, and seek personal interests for himself. Originally, Liu Chengzong didn't pay much attention to this problem, he knew that King had no intention of fighting the head of the family at all, but at this time, people from South America came.
The person who came was David, Gianna's father, who came to visit Liu Chengzong in City B as the new president of Asia of the old John family, but it was Liu Jiguang who met him, and he was not qualified to meet the head of the Liu family.
Liu Jiguang was still quite surprised that someone from the old John's family came to China in a grand manner, but this person's identity was there, and he was one of the candidates for the next generation of family heads, so he still had to be polite. "Mr. David, I'm surprised to see you here."
"Don't be surprised, I'm the general manager of my family in Asia from now on, and we have a lot of opportunities to meet."
"So today I'm just here for my new visit? Then I congratulate you on behalf of the company. ”
David shook his head, "No, it's one thing to take up a new position, and the most important purpose of my visit this time is to express my gratitude to your family, and hope that we can resolve the past hatred and everyone will live in peace from now on." ”
"Thanks?" Liu Jiguang's eyes flickered, "Where does this start?" There has been very little recent communication between our two families, and I can't imagine anything to be thankful for. ”
"About a month ago, in New York, USA, someone from the Tours family tried to frame a false accusation against my daughter Gianna, and was rescued by Mr. Zhenwu of your family, isn't this incident worthy of my gratitude?"
This matter did not spread very well within the Black Gold Family, after all, it was the people of the opposite family who were rescued, and there was nothing to say, but Liu Jiguang, who was in the United States at the time, must have been very clear about the cause and effect, "Oh, that matter, we have almost forgotten that the five major families should help each other, Mr. David doesn't have to mind." ”
"It's not going to work, our family thinks this kind of thing must be thankful. As a token of our concern, we have decided to ban the delivery of goods to Chinese mainland within this year and to reduce the share of sales in Asia by 10%. You see, is that enough to show our sincerity? ”
According to Liu Jiguang's meaning, it would be best if your old John family stopped all the drug business, but when he confirmed that David really planned to do this, he still couldn't help but be shocked, even if he was stopped by the black gold family's full strength, the amount of money involved in the two points that David said must be an astronomical amount, which is definitely not a matter that can be explained by gratitude.
"This sincerity is too great," Liu Jiguang said, "but as far as I know, your family judges the status of each person in the family according to the performance evaluation, and I don't think Mr. David will thank us for his future." What are the conditions, might as well say it? ”
David flicked the cigarette ash that fell on the corner of his clothes, "Actually, there are no conditions, but after being rescued, my daughter Gianna has a strange affection for her benefactor King." But you also know that our two families have always had a bad relationship, and I, as a parent, should always do something for my daughter, right? ”
Liu Jiguang's face changed suddenly, "I understand what you mean, but this matter is too big, I can't make a decision by myself, I need to discuss it with my family, please forgive me." ”
"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of love between young people, it's necessary to discuss, but there's no need to make a big show, right?"
Liu Jiguang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately told Liu Chengzong about the matter, "So, finally someone started to beat him?" It's a good time to get started. ”
"So what should be done about this matter? This may give some people in the family a false impression. ”
"Delusion? What delusion? Liu Chengzong said, "It was indeed Zhenwu who gave up this position at the beginning, he was not interested in this at all, and some people were afraid that the world would not be chaotic." Hmph, now old John is starting to make up his mind, but they are the first but definitely not the last, agree with him, the benefits of sending to the door cannot be avoided. ”
"Father, it's not that I'm worried about what the second uncle will really do, it's just that those guys in the family can use his name to make waves, which is very detrimental to the development of the family. The purpose of the ultimate challenge was to warn some of the family not to have unrealistic illusions about his failure. Unexpectedly, he won two ultimate challenges in a row, making his reputation even more unattainable. ”
"Then leave it alone, this kind of thing is completely inevitable that the tree wants to be quiet."
Although the top management of the Dragon Pavilion had a consensus not to ignore this matter and completely blocked the news that the old family master was seriously ill, and even the king was not notified, the news was inevitably leaked out, and the other major families quickly discovered this secret with the touch of several other families. In other parts of the world, although the family power is strong and weak, there has never been a region like Asia that has been run by the black gold family to more than 50% of the share, and even has the power to manipulate or surpass the government in a certain way, so several families are considering extending their tentacles into Asia sooner or later, and obviously, the best resource they can use is the king who is free from the black gold family, but is inseparable from the black gold family.
When the four major families began to act, the four sons of the Liu family could no longer remain calm, and even Liu Jiyao, the third child who had the best relationship with King, stood in front of their father.
"It's not okay to go on like this, I think it's necessary to let my grandfather come forward, only his prestige can suppress all of this," Liu Jizong said, "He feels the deepest, he has been in charge of the dark world for many years, but because of King, he has never been able to fully control it." It was a world that believed in absolute strength, and many people were against him, even if he used strong means sometimes he couldn't solve the problem, he was the one who wanted to solve the problem the most.
"Do you want your grandfather to come forward?" Liu Jiyao said, "This is not a good method, it means that the leadership of the Dragon Pavilion is incompetent, and this situation today is because he usually relies on his grandfather to suppress it, and his physical condition is not good now." If my grandfather comes forward now, he will definitely be able to hold it down for a while, but it may be worse for the long run. To put it mildly, if we are all powerless now, what will happen to my grandfather in a hundred years? We must rely on our own strength. ”
"So what does Jiyao think?" Liu Jizong turned his head and said, "I know that you have the best relationship with the second uncle, can you let him come out by himself and tell everyone that he has no intention of being the head of the family?" ”
"That's what he meant when he announced his withdrawal from the family, and going to him was a sign of weakness, which made the upper echelons of the family lose face," Liu Jiguang said, "It is absolutely undesirable." In fact, our original thinking is not wrong, the reason why everyone expects so much from him is simply because he is undefeated, and what we need is failure. ”
"We can't wait for the ultimate challenge once a year, and the show is so entertaining that it can only cause a trend, not a heavy blow to prestige." ”
Liu Chengzong said, "It takes a blow to the cause to have that effect, and the Dragon Pavilion can't come forward at this moment." Therefore, I brought in Mr. Cha Ping, a planning expert, who will assist us. ”
(Due to Liu Tian's serious illness, the strength of the family and the four major families to challenge the current head of the family in the name of King is getting stronger and stronger, and it has reached the point where the upper echelons of the Dragon Pavilion can't help but find a way to solve it.) )
