Chapter 267: Hold on to the bold
London, England, in an old castle estate.
Alexander sat in the study, looking at the information at hand, his face was not very good.
The man who 'committed suicide', Ed, was a senior executive at the bank who had been involved in the development of investment plans. It stands to reason that he only has a part of the plan in his hands, and the fact is that the complete investment plan bursts out of his hands.
Therein lies the problem.
And there is no direct evidence that Ed had any suicidal tendencies.
The family is complete, the body is healthy, and the people who follow him are even less likely to lack money and do not have any psychological problems.
But he just killed himself.
As for whether he committed suicide in fear of crime after the information was leaked, or after he killed, the murderer leaked the information. Even he didn't know the answer. Find the best master to solve the case, and the final conclusion is suicide.
Not long after he took over the banking group, it is a very serious matter that he has made such a big mistake now.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, although the ancestral teachings make them unable to fight among themselves, but a family like them, this kind of thing, is unavoidable.
Banking and financial business is the most important business of their family.
Profits from the winery, jewellery and art businesses are ultimately returned to the banking group for investment. So when you are in charge of the banking business, you control most of Roche.
Who wants a little more power in their hands?
There are many people staring at his position, the winery business, his cousin Saskia, the heir in charge of the business of Château Lafite; his cousin James, the heir to the diamond business; There were also other cousins and uncles in charge of the art business.
His cousins and cousins are no weaker than them.
Cousin Saskia is the first female head of their family winery business, and although the family motto of passing on women to men exists in name only, there is a tendency to choose an heir. Saskia was able to become the first female leader, and her ability can be imagined.
His younger brother James, whose wife is the daughter of the Hilton family in the United States, the two marriages, if he first became the head of the banking group, the connections and support behind him can be imagined.
If this matter is not handled well, it will make the family members doubt his ability, and his situation will be even more difficult at that time.
Just as he was thinking about his next move, an old butler with gray hair, a tuxedo, and white gloves walked into the study with a document and gently placed it in front of Alexander.
"Young Master, this is the latest information you need. After carefully checking Ed's situation, during this time, he did not have any contact with any suspicious people, his behavior was not abnormal, and there was nothing abnormal in the call logs. There is no indication that he will commit suicide. ”
"Hmm." Alexander nodded and took the information, not surprised by the old butler's words, he had expected this outcome.
Now he faces another dilemma.
After the last acquisition of shares in telecommunications companies, there is not much money to move now.
Although the marching ant company promised to cooperate in the mobile phone business, it refused to take a stake in the telecom operation.
If the investment plan is not leaked, they can carry out the investment business normally, but now they are being targeted, and many investments have been aborted or have to be postponed.
"What's going on on the family side?" Alexander asked.
"I don't see much movement, but there's a lot of movement outside. There is a rumor outside that if you don't handle this incident well, the family may change to manage the bank.
Some old people in the family were very dissatisfied with this incident. They have your father pressing, and they don't dare to go too far for the time being. But you need to take care of this and it's best to make a little bit of success during this time to convince them, otherwise it might be a bit of a problem. Many people in the family are opposed to cooperating with marching ants. The old butler said.
"What did my father say?"
"The lord didn't say anything about your cooperation with the marching ants, didn't explicitly agree, and didn't open his mouth to object. The leakage of the investment plan is also not spoken. The old butler said.
"Hmm." Alexander answered and fell silent.
Seeing Alexander's appearance, the old butler couldn't make up his mind.
For their family, Alexander was still a little young in his thirties, at the helm of the family's main investment bank. However, Alexander's father used his influence to suppress some dissatisfaction within the family, which allowed Alexander to ascend to the throne.
After hesitating, the old butler still chose to speak.
The age gap between the two is too big, he is considered an old antique from the previous era, and many opinions can only be provided for Alexander's reference.
"There are a lot of troubles in the family right now, and some of them are caused by the cooperation with the marching ants. For example, Altice Group and Orange on the surface, as well as Apple, Pioneer Group, etc. ”
Alexander listened quietly and motioned for him to continue.
"If we can publicly terminate the cooperation with the marching ants, maybe the pressure from outside the family will not be so great." The old butler said cautiously.
Known circumstances, there are a few companies that suppress them, and there are some capital that sees the wind and rudder the rudder is ready to move. If you don't handle it well, he's really in trouble.
And because none of the opponents recruited by the marching ants are vegetarians.
"Needless to say, the cooperation with the marching ants will not be interrupted, but will only go deeper." Alexander spoke, his voice unmistakable.
The situation was settled, and it was useless for him to regret it now, and besides, he had never regretted his decision.
In recent years, with the rise of Huaxia, they value this young market, so their business and investment in Huaxia are getting bigger and bigger.
The ancestors of the family bought Château Lafite 150 years ago.
But for the past 150 years, Château Lafite has not made a penny for their family.
This situation has changed dramatically because of China, and the Chinese wine consumption market has turned their family's wine industry into an unprecedented money-making industry.
Over the years, the status of the wine business has also been continuously improved in the family.
He is also optimistic about the Chinese market and enterprises, and in the Chinese market, there is a very special company. The young ants of the marching ant nest let him see a unicorn with unlimited potential. So under pressure, he decided to cooperate with the marching ants.
No one eats crabs, so he becomes the first person to eat crabs.
After seeing Chen Mo last time, he was even more determined to cooperate with the marching ants. The young man who was more than ten years younger than him, every demeanor carried a sense of calmness and confidence, even if he sighed to himself.
Although he is not very old, he still reads a lot of people, and he feels that he will never be wrong.
Gambling successfully, he is the legend of the family's prosperity, recorded in the family history; Failure, he is not a sinner in the decline of the family.
Prop up the bold, starve the timid, this is the mall.
In the current situation, the probability of finding the cause of Ed's death is getting smaller and smaller. Even if there is a black hand behind the scenes, if they find out after such a long time, their losses will be irreparable.
It's better to spend your time on what you should do.
"Arrange it, I'll go to Huaxia again tomorrow." Alexander said.
"Young master, if you go over at this time, will it cause more trouble?" The old butler asked.
"What's the more trouble, more trouble than the leak of the investment plan right now?"
