Chapter 102: The successive heads of the Duanmu family
The white clouds in the sky are long, and the father and son on the earth are drinking.
Frank listened to his father talk about the man who had made him scruple for twenty years, and his face was a little ugly, "Fortunately, Duanmuqu is dead, otherwise things would be really tricky." The tone was tinged with rejoicing.
Old Morgan's face turned pale, "What nonsense are you talking about!" A cultured gentleman will not criticize the deceased, not to mention that it is still an opponent worthy of your respect, respect the opponent, that is, respect yourself! Because your opponent will always be a match for you, otherwise you are not qualified to be opponents of each other! Did you read the autobiography of the Duke of Wellington and see that he belittled Napoleon? Napoleon was his defeated man, but he was the man the Duke admired the most! ”
"How can we, the Morgan family, who are called the 'Napoleons of Wall Street', not even have such a little heart? It's a joke to say it! Don't say that in the future! ”
Frank smiled bitterly and said, "Father, you misunderstood, where can I criticize him?" When he was alive, I wanted to take a detour when I saw him! The Rockefeller boy always said that I lived like a Hindu ascetic and never went to their parties, but how did they know that I didn't go to the party because I didn't want to meet that person! He's the most terrifying genius I've ever met! ”
Old Morgan's expression softened slightly, "Although Duanmu Qu is powerful, compared to his grandfather, it is still a little less meaningful." His grandfather, Duanmu Yan, was a man that even my father was afraid of. At that time, I was still young, and I was always held by my father on the desk, and whenever I saw my father rubbing his eyebrows and drinking black coffee, I knew that it must be the ghost of the guy named Duanmuyan again, and he always had a way to make our family suffer. Fortunately, he doesn't like to do business very much, he just likes to play, otherwise where would we dare to deal with the Duanmu family now, and it would be good if he wasn't bullied in turn! ”
"The Duanmu family produces talents!" Old Morgan and Frank sighed in unison, but suddenly noticed an echo around them, and then father and son looked at each other with sympathy, and drank the whiskey in their glasses.
"It's weird to say." Old Morgan put down his glass and sighed. "The successive heads of the Duanmu family not only have strange appearances, but even their personalities are similar, and they are all a little ...... Not doing your job? But that's a good thing, and it's definitely not a blessing for us that they're too hardworking. But why are even their abilities so similar? Generations have been geniuses. On the other hand, my Morgan family is not as good as the generation, I am not as good as my father, you are not as good as me, how can this be good? ”
"Could it be that their Duanmu family's genes are so strong? Not only can you inherit physiognomy. Can you also inherit talent? But isn't this something that only animals have to do? His Duanmu family has such an advantage, who else will the future world be if it is not theirs? ”
Old Morgan looked a little worried.
Frank directly ignored his father's sentence of "one generation is not as good as one generation" and said, "I don't know anything else, I only know that the heirs of the Duanmu family have a good time to play, and the previous generation of Duanmu Yan just likes to travel all over the world, and this generation of Duanmu Ci I heard that he went directly to China to teach, and it seems that he is still teaching ancient literature." If we hadn't forced him to shoot this time, I'm afraid he would have been hiding in college and wouldn't come out! A person with no ambition like this is not a cause for concern, even if he has the ability. ”
Morgan Sr. waved his hand and said, "You're wrong. Those who have the ability are capable after all. Even if he is dormant and does not use it, his ability will not disappear, do you remember the Japanese kendo teacher I invited you when you were a child? Haven't all his swords been hidden in their scabbards? But once he drew his sword, no one in the entire manor could stop him, and so did wisdom. And wisdom is worse than the sword, because if you can take the swordsman's sword away or cut off the hand that holds the sword, then he is useless. But wisdom is different, it is always hovering in your head, and you can't do anything about it. ”
"Boy, don't despise the people of the Duanmu family. This is what my father said to me back then, and I will relay it to you. At that time, your grandfather looked unprecedentedly serious when he said this to me, and it was not until I took charge of the family that I found out that at that time, Duanmu Yan made another trick to make my father suffer a big loss. Now the guy named Duanmu Ci is still young. Although the talent is good, but the means are estimated to be not mature enough, when he really grows up, we will be friends with him, and now while he has not yet taken off, bullying and bullying will be talked about. In a few years, there may not be a chance. ”
Frank suddenly laughed gloomily, "I heard that they Chinese have a saying called 'father and son pay off', I think this sentence is very reasonable, the anger that his father gave me back then, the losses I made, I must make up for it from him little by little, otherwise how can I get this sulking in my heart?" ”
Old Morgan refilled two empty glasses, then raised his glass and said, "Well said boy! Remember to make up for my share, oh, and my father's. ”
The father and son drank another cup of sympathy......
Hiding one's identity was easier to operate in ancient times when transportation was inconvenient and technology was not developed. At that time, the mountains and rivers were far away, and the friends of life and death on the edge of Chang'an Baqiao were likely to never see each other again after folding the willows, so it was easy to hide the secret deeds.
The same method will not be changed to modern times, under the explosion of science and technology, like a camera or something has appeared, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrifying is the development of transportation, completely shrunk a huge earth into a village, swimming in the blue sea, twilight in the sky, is no longer a legend, but a reality.
In this case, it is naturally difficult for Duanmu Ci to perfectly conceal his identity, so he can only make some small means to make a drama such as the death of a father and the succession of a son, and it will be "short-lived" from generation to generation......
The successive heads of the Duanmu family that the old Morgan and Frank talked about just now are actually just Duanmu Ci's "trumpets" that care about different periods, and the vest named Duanmu Yan He even wore it to the battlefield in China and got acquainted with the current owner of the Crane Garden, General Shen Yadong.
So sometimes Duanmu Ci also feels a little headache when dealing with his interpersonal relationships, for example, he has a very good relationship with Aslan now, that kid often goes to his own winery in France to steal wine when he is not there, and he has to pack a few bottles when he leaves, the housekeeper of the winery seems to have complained several times, but Duanmu Ci has nothing to do, he usually lives in the top suites of the Hilton Hotel when he travels around the world, Everyone's relationship is so familiar that they don't care about these small sections.
But the problem is that he had a very good relationship with Aslan's father back then! Don't look at the current head of the Hilton family, he looks well-dressed, as if he is a decent man or something. But Duanmuci knew that that kid was not a good bird back then! The amorous debts owed by the ladies and ladies of Paris with a good skin were not old or young, and on several occasions he gave them personally......
But now, when he went to the Hilton house again, he had to call the man uncle, and it was a wonderful feeling...... So now he doesn't want to meet with his old friends, and he has to endure the disgusting appearance of their kind elders for no reason......
You think I don't know what you were back then? What kind of serious person to pretend......
There was a lot of gossip, and the whiskey had bottomed out, and the elder Morgan didn't call his son this time to play golf and drink, he had serious things to ask.
Morgan Sr. waved the caddy away and asked, "How's Chicago going?" Did the meeting get results? (To be continued.) )
