Claire has been active in China all the year round, in order to make her life convenient and comfortable, and also to make her business contacts more convenient, she has her own residences in Xiangjiang and Waguo, and after a series of events that alarmed her this morning, Claire, who has a keen sense of smell, immediately found an excuse to leave.
After returning to his residence, Claire immediately contacted the family through the most secure channel, and reported to the family in detail what happened today, Claire was more familiar with intrigue than Elijah, and today's Fang Shi's words and Ryan's sudden additional conditions were combined, so that Claire smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.
As a businessman, you must have a keener sense of these conspiracies than ordinary people, otherwise, what awaits you and your family will be a great misfortune, the church has always been inclined to get closer to Huaxia Xuanmen, with the help of Huaxia Xuanmen to gain a higher status on the other side of the ocean, and even make a difference on the Eurasian road.
Claire doesn't know whether Ryan is acting on his own or as he is told, but in any case, Ryan dares to do this, which shows that there is a force in the church that is changing the strategic decision made before the church.
As an excellent businessman, especially a descendant of the Rothschild family with a 'glorious' tradition, Claire doesn't care what race or ethnicity she follows. On the land of China. There were also many Jews living there. It has even lived for more than a thousand years.
In a sense, this is the sorrow of the business family, but it is also the inevitability of the business family, if the businessman has a position, then in the end will not be able to escape the fate of decline, only to remain neutral forever, always follow the footsteps of the winner, in order to continue the glory of the Rothschild family.
Today, the world is unpredictable. The duel between Eastern and Western civilizations has begun, and within Huaxia, Claire knows more about Huaxia than anyone in her family, so she is very aware that the rise of Huaxia is unstoppable, even if Western civilization desperately fights back, the result is only a question of whether it can delay the rise of Huaxia, and there is no possibility that ZĂ i can successfully stop it.
Especially after the sudden rise of Huaxia Xuanmen under the leadership of Fang Shi, the secularization and secular Xuanmen of Huaxia have given wings and cleared the obstacles to the take-off of Huaxia, and the rise of Huaxia is about to embark on a fast track. The ghosts, snakes, and gods that stand in the way of Huaxia will surely be swept into the garbage heap of history.
Claire didn't want Rothschild to become one of the garbage heaps, therefore. She was very happy when she knew that the church had made a strategic decision to get closer to the Xuanmen of Huaxia, but she didn't expect that this strategic decision had suddenly changed. Will your own family change their strategy because of this change? How do you deal with the bad situation that has taken a turn for the worse?
Claire, who was sitting in the study, frowned, her delicate face seemed to be covered with frost, and she was anxiously waiting for a reply from the house.
Suddenly, the internal communicator on the desktop sounded, and Claire's body trembled, and she woke up from her state of distraction and reached out to press the Unicom button.
"Miss, Miss Ilya is here."
Elias? Claire looked at the time, it was already midnight, why did she come at this time? However, she chose this time to visit, presumably because of something very important, and perhaps, it was also for Elder Rian's actions.
Claire's mind raced, and she immediately spoke: "Please invite her to the small living room on the second floor, where I will wait for her." â
Claire quickly typed a line on the computer in front of her, then turned off the computer and got up and walked outside, but because she had sat for too long, her legs were numb, and she almost tripped when she stood up, but fortunately she held on to the table.
Claire went to the small living room to sit down, there was a knock on the door, the living room door opened, Claire saw the ugly face of Elijah, waved the maid to retreat, Claire led Ilya to the flannel chair opposite her, sat down, and poured Ilya a cup of coffee herself.
"Elijah, why are you here at this time, Elder Ryan?"
"I found an excuse to come secretly, Elder Ryan is arranging to deal with Elder Fang, but the news is not good, the vampire people did not go to war with Elder Fang, but sat together for dinner, which made Elder Ryan almost crazy."
Elijah didn't go around in circles at all, and directly told Claire about the current situation.
Claire frowned, thin eyebrows, "That's too bad. â
"Yes, that's bad! It was a good thing, but I don't know why it was like this, could it be that the Council of Elders made something else? â
Claire pondered, "Why don't you contact the Council of Elders directly?" â
"I want to too, but it's not easy to explain once Elder Ryan finds out, so I came to you, I want to know about your channel, and if necessary, I will contact the Council of Elders directly."
Claire nodded: "This is no problem, in fact, I also want to know what happened, the consequences of this decision are actually not difficult to speculate, there is an ancient saying in Huaxia, called rise and fall after extinction, good is great, for foreign races and vassals, Huaxia has always liked to use this strategy, support the weak and eradicate the strong, originally we are a weak force compared to the European Church and the Central Asian Green Religion, but compared with the vampires, we are a strong party." If the vampire clan took refuge in the Huaxia Xuanmen, it would be a disaster. â
Ilya smiled bitterly, "Claire, do you think those old people in the Council of Elders can understand what you said?" The Huaxia and Huaxia Xuanmen in their eyes may not be the same as what we know. They think that the righteous way of the Chinese Xuanmen is the same as the church, and there is no room for the evil existence of vampires, but unfortunately, they don't know that the existence of the evil way of Huaxia is actually deliberately tolerated by the righteous way, and they don't know the profound meaning of the way of yin and yang in Chinese culture. â
Claire also shook her head and smiled bitterly when she heard this, it is indeed a little difficult for a group of people who don't know about Huaxia Xuanmen to make the right decision, these stubborn old guys would never have imagined that the Great Grandmaster of Huaxia Zhengdao would not shout and kill when he saw a vampire, but considered how to maximize the benefits very realistically.
"Ilya, what are you going to do?"
Ilya shook her head blankly: "I don't know, I have to figure out what the Presbyterian Church is first, and if possible, I hope I can convince them to return the church's strategy to the path of cooperation with Huaxia Xuanmen." â
Claire smiled softly, "That's not what I'm asking. â
Ilya looked at Claire in surprise: "So what do you want to ask?" â
"Ilya, I would like to know your views and predictions on the relationship between the Xuanmen and the Church in Huaxia."
Ilya frowned, "Claire, what are you thinking?" â
Claire hesitated for a moment, raised her head and stared at Ilya's eyes and said, "Ilya, can I trust you?" â
"Of course, we are best friends, and I only have a good friend like you."
Claire smiled, "Thank you, Elijah, do you know the secret of our family's longevity?" â
"You know, follow in the footsteps of the victor and so on, do you think the next winner will be"
"That's right, the next winner will be Huaxia, I'm pretty sure of that."
"Then you're going to convince the family to turn to Huaxia in an all-round way?"
"There is a saying in China, called the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, although it is no longer possible to talk about sending charcoal in the snow, but fortunately it is not the time to put the icing on the cake, if you don't make the right choice at this time, the Rothschild family is not the Rothschild family, I believe in my grandfather's vision."
Ilya was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly: "You will turn your back on your faith? â
"It's not about faith."
Ilya shook his head slowly, the so-called nothing to do with faith can only deceive ordinary people, if there is no huge financial resources behind the church, it will definitely not develop, once the Rothschild family decides to fully fall to China, then the financial support for the church will naturally be greatly reduced, if the Rothschild family contributes to the church only faith, it is really a ruining disaster.
Although Elijah felt in her heart that Claire's choice was right, as a faithful believer in the church, Elijah still had to work hard for the church.
"Claire, have you thought about it, there is another saying in Huaxia that is not my race will have a different heart, not to mention the reputation of your family"
"Our family's reputation is very stinky, isn't it, this is not important, because capital is originally like this, and the natural attributes of the business family determine this, I believe that with the wisdom of the Chinese leaders, they will definitely be able to make the right decision. Moreover, I have lived in China for so many years, and I have gradually understood what it means to overflow when the water is full, and I believe that after our Rothschild family gradually moves eastward, we will be able to absorb and integrate the excellent traditional concepts and wisdom of China, and we will only be more prosperous in the future. â
Ilya nodded helplessly, as a friend, she knew that Claire's choice was right, but as a faithful believer in the church, Ilya felt very sorry and sad.
The Rothschilds were able to turn around and make choices to follow the trend of the world, but it was difficult for the Church to do so, because the Church was destined to take its position from the beginning, and unless the Church was willing to make a radical change, the Church could only fight back and be swept into the dustbin of history.
Ilya suddenly remembered the phoenix pendant that Xia Yuyao gave him, and remembered that Xia Yuyao said at that time that the phoenix has an important meaning in Chinese culture, it not only represents nobility and auspiciousness, but also contains the tenacious belief of the Chinese nation to be reborn from the fire.
