Chapter 199: Abdicate to make way for Xian

After going back, neither Lai Xiaohu nor Donald mentioned what they saw before leaving, for the two of them, such a thing was as if it had never happened, and it was none of their business.

"By the way, do you want to stay here for a while or go back to China?" After going back, Donald asked Lai Xiaohu.

Now his daughter Ivanka is still in China, and if it weren't for that, he probably would have liked Lai Xiaohu to stay in Los Angeles for a while.

"I'll be back tomorrow, but I have a little more to do tonight." Lai Xiaohu said. He really has a little more to do.

In the evening, Lai Xiaohu had dinner with Donald, and his father-in-law had a treat, but Lai Xiaohu didn't dare not go.

After dinner, it was already past eight o'clock, and Lai Xiaohu drove Ivanka's car left in the United States to walk on the streets of Los Angeles alone. Now he also has a driver's license in the United States, which was done for him by Donald.

Los Angeles is not destined to be peaceful tonight, because just before Lai Xiaohu arrives at his destination, he has seen several rounds of fighting, and it is certain that this is the territory left by Charlie in a big attack against the dead Anthony. And Lai Xiaohu didn't see the police appear on this night, which shows that Charlie's influence in Los Angeles is also not small.

After a storm, it is always the most peaceful, and I believe that it will not take a few days for Los Angeles to calm down again.

At this time, Lai Xiaohu had already arrived at the Thompson family again. Of course, the purpose of his coming today is also to help the Thompson family. It's just that before agreeing to help them, Lai Xiaohu also had to make a deal with old Thompson.

Of course old Thompson is full of joy about Lai Xiaohu's return and return, not to mention, this time the matter is really thanks to Lai Xiaohu, otherwise it depends on the appearance of Anthony and Charlie today. You can know what it will be like for them to go into debt? It is estimated that the entire Thompson family will be restless by then.

"I don't know why you're here?" After a little greeting, old Thompson asked Lai Xiaohu.

He doesn't think that Lai Xiaohu is here to catch up with himself, his relationship with Lai Xiaohu is not so good, and his son, who has a better relationship with Lai Xiaohu, does not live here, which Lai Xiaohu must also know. So old Thompson can be sure that this time Lai Xiaohu came to find himself something to discuss.

"I have an opinion that is a great thing for you Thompson but not necessarily a good thing for you, I wonder if you would like to hear it?" Lai Xiaohu asked.

"Oh, I want to hear about it." Thompson Sr. said.

"That's good. I'll just say it. Lai Xiaohu said.

"I can supply vegetables to your family's hotels in other cities."

"What?" Hearing this, old Thompson immediately stood up, "What you said is true?" Look at the look of surprise on his face. knows how shocking Lai Xiaohu's news is for him.

He estimated that with his relationship with Lai Xiaohu, if it weren't for the high liquidated damages between Carlston Hotel and Lai Xiaohu, Lai Xiaohu would not have provided him with another vegetable. And now that Carlston is about to close, the contract between the two men is basically over.

It can be said that old Thompson did not have the luxury of getting a little more vegetables from Lai Xiaohu in the future, which was completely determined by the relationship between the two.

But what he didn't expect was this. Today, Lai Xiaohu came to his house and told himself that he was willing to provide vegetables to his other hotels outside of Los Angeles?

Oh my God, has the sun already risen in the west? Otherwise, is Lai Xiaohu himself stupid?

Of course, the sun still rises in the east. And Lai Xiaohu is certainly not stupid. He did that, too, conditionally.

"You don't want to be in a hurry to be happy." Lai Xiaohu continued to say to the elder Thompson, "I also have conditions for doing this. ”

"Okay, you say, you say." Even so, it still couldn't calm down old Thompson, because when Lai Xiaohu said that he was willing to provide vegetables to the Thompson family again just now. Old Thompson's mind went elsewhere.

He won't talk about it in Los Angeles, presumably Lai Xiaohu won't let himself compete with him here anymore. But what about his other hotels outside of Los Angeles? While those hotels aren't quite as luxurious as Carlston, they're not much worse. More critically, still. Now outside of Los Angeles, Lai's vegetables are completely out of circulation. At present, all the hotels that have business relations with Lai Xiaohu in the United States are concentrated in the urban area of the sand shaker.

And if Lai Xiaohu is willing to provide his vegetables to his hotel outside of Los Angeles, then they will send it to the Thompsons.

Outside of Los Angeles, with Lai Xiaohu's vegetables, their family's hotel would be invincible, and he was sure that the pomp and circumstance of Lai Xiaohu's first supply of vegetables to Carlston would be presented in his other hotels.

What is a Carlston then? What's the point if you lose hundreds of millions? As long as those hotels can show the grandeur of Carlston at the beginning, they will be able to make back no matter how much they lose.

"My condition is that from now on you hand over the stewardship of your Thompson family to your son." As if he was deliberately hitting him, seeing the excited appearance of old Thompson, Lai Xiaohu directly said his conditions.

In an instant, hearing Lai Xiaohu's condition, the smile on Old Thompson's face disappeared, leaving only consternation.

Yes, only consternation. He thought that Lai Xiaohu would say countless conditions, and it was not impossible to even give Lai Xiaohu a large sum of money for this. But I didn't expect Lai Xiaohu to say such a condition.

The Thompson family doesn't have to pay anything for this, as long as he pays alone.

"Your Thompson family now owes a total of about 500 million US dollars," Seeing Old Thompson's stunned expression, Lai Xiaohu knew that he would not happily agree, "Then I don't know how you plan to repay the 500 million debt?" ”

"I'll sell Carlston." Old Thompson said directly.

"You spent more than $600 million on the Carlston Hotel, so how much do you think you'll be able to sell that hotel when you sell it?"

Hearing this, old Thompson was speechless. Yes, in order to build Carlston, especially to reflect Carlston's luxury, he spent more than 600 million in cash. But it cost so much to build Carlston that it is estimated that it will not sell much when it comes time to sell it yourself.

Lai Xiaohu continued to ask, "Then do you think that with the current business status of your Thompson family, you can repay all the money before the debts are paid?" ”

Thompson Sr. is still speechless.

"I can't." Lai Xiaohu replied in place of old Thompson.

"So, in the end, you're going to sell your family's assets to pay off the remaining debts, I'm not wrong about that, am I?"

Old Thompson had to nod and admit it this time, because what Lai Xiaohu said was indeed the truth, and in the end, if he really wanted to repay all his debts. I may really want to sell off my family's assets.

Therefore, in fact, regardless of whether or not Xiaohu helped before, as long as they want to repay their debts, the Thompson family will sell their family's assets. It's just that the difference is that if it weren't for Lai Xiaohu's previous help. The Thompson family is about to realize the family's assets in a short period of time.

What are the Thompson family's assets? Aren't they just those hotels? Selling a hotel is not about selling other small things, and it is very difficult to sell a hotel in a short period of time. So I wanted to sell the hotel in a short period of time. There is only one way. Sold at a low price.

And when the news spreads that the Thompson family is going to fall, those possible buyers will continue to drive down the price. Especially if Anthony and Charlie had forcibly intervened, they might not even be able to get a third of the normal value of a hotel.

And just like now, without that sense of urgency, the Thompson family can slowly find a buyer for their hotel, and there is plenty of time. They can sell the hotel for a higher price. And even before selling the hotel, it can continue to make money through the hotel.

But no matter what, they actually want to sell hotels in the end, but the price is different, and the number of hotels sold is also different. Now they don't have to sell all the hotels.

However, none of these can compare to the temptation of Lai Xiaohu to provide them with vegetables. With the vegetables provided by Lai Xiaohu, they don't have to buy them at any hotel except Carlston. Just with Lai Xiaohu's vegetables, the profits of those hotels will be enough for them to replace all their debts for a long time. Even, the more time passes, the more assets they have in the Thompson family.

Of course, the prosperity of the entire Thompson family is seen by the old Thompson, especially if Lai Xiaohu is willing to help, the current predicament in front of the Thompson family will disappear in an instant, but if all this is at the cost of his own complete decentralization, then the old Thompson has to think about it himself.

Power is really a sword of temptation, and in the face of the control of a family, it is not surprising that old Thompson is reluctant.

"I heard that the assets of your Thompson family belong to the entire family, but the other members of the family jointly elected you as the person in charge, I think that such a big matter as the life and death of the family should also be called to everyone else in your family to discuss it, right?"

"No need. I'm willing to delegate power. As soon as Lai Xiaohu finished speaking, old Thompson directly waved his hand and agreed.

If you don't agree, you can't do it, Lai Xiaohu's words just now have made him realize that this is the trend of the times, and there is no way to reverse it by himself.

As Lai Xiaohu said, the assets of the Thompson family are not his old Thompson's alone, but inherited from his father. But in addition to his own lineage, there are several other brothers and sisters in the whole family, and these assets are jointly owned by everyone. And he is really just a person in charge elected by a few brothers.

If Lai Xiaohu had called everyone else over to discuss this matter, he could be sure that his other siblings would have appreciated Lai Xiaohu's suggestion.

For several other people, Lai Xiaohu's suggestion did not make them lose anything, on the contrary, it could also increase the assets in their names a lot, and of course there would be no hesitation in promising Lai Xiaohu.

As for my big brother, I'm sorry. You almost didn't drag the whole family into the abyss, and we respect you enough for not holding you accountable.

It was with such an ending in mind that old Thompson immediately agreed. Rather than being embarrassed by his brothers and sisters to give up his position, it is better to take the initiative to give up this position now, so that he looks better.

"Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is settled." Lai Xiaohu said decisively.

The next day, the Thompsons held one of the biggest family gatherings ever, and when the elder Thompson said that he was going to abdicate and hand over the reins of the family to his son, Thompson Jr., everyone was stunned. Even Thompson Jr. himself was stunned.

I'm so surprised, there's no news at all in advance. At the same time as Thompson Jr. resigned, others also raised a lot of objections to letting Thompson Jr. take over the family, mainly because they were not very convinced of Thompson Jr.

But when the elder Thompson said Lai Xiaohu's conditions, in an instant, everyone quieted down, and all the opposing voices disappeared at once.

Then at this family gathering, with a 100 percent unanimous consent to the family record, the Thompson family completed the all-out alternation.

From then on, the person in charge of the entire Thompson family will change from old Thompson to his son, that is, Lai Xiaohu's friend, little Thompson.

And with Donald, Lai Xiaohu also said the conditions he discussed with old Thompson, and Donald did not have too many objections to this except that Lai Xiaohu was too merciful, and he also agreed.

It's just that the matter of signing a contract with the Thompson family will no longer be brought forward by Lai Xiaohu, and Donald will personally sign a new supply contract with the Thompson family at that time.

Of course, the price is calculated according to the current unified price of Huamei Group, and the liquidated damages, sorry, there is no liquidated damages in the contracts signed by Huamei Group.

After finishing the last thing, Lai Xiaohu also got on the plane and flew back to Jincheng. (To be continued.) )
