Chapter 957: The Declining Family
However, royal power is not eternal, and even the strongest empire will decline. About 70 years ago, a super enterprise called 'Ghapari Trading Group' suddenly appeared in the world. At the beginning, this enterprise only carried out a small number of commercial activities, and the performance was harmless to people and animals, and no one would have thought that it would be a sharp blade piercing the heart of the 'Dark Mutual Society'.
This mysterious enterprise, after a period of regular activities, suddenly reveals its hideous sharp teeth. They have incredible high-tech technology, huge financial backing, ample personnel and huge political power, allowing them to quickly develop into a global mega-enterprise.
The unusual rise of the 'Gappari Trade Group' immediately attracted the attention of the 'Dark Mutual Aid Society'. By all indications, this business is not an ordinary nouveau riche. Members of the Mutual Aid Society quickly launched an investigation to try to find out their opponent's hole cards. However, no matter how much they investigated, they could not reveal its true face, and the investigators sent either found nothing or disappeared.
The terrifying power revealed by the opponent made the Mutual Aid Association hesitate, and more than two hundred years of experience told it that the energy of the other party was far beyond imagination. The Ten Families had to come together to discuss countermeasures, and the last time there was a discussion of this magnitude, the topic was how to take out the out-of-control president.
While the wounded lion was secretly licking its wounds, the beast that crossed the border moved. Hundreds of kilometres west of Old York, the 'Gappari Trading Group' established a new, ultra-modern city--- 'Fort Bosseli'. This city with a strange name, since its birth, has had the strength to covet the supreme title of the first city in the whole meter.
Mutual Aid could not stand it anymore, and it did not want to sit still. All members immediately launched a counterattack, and among them, the de facto owner of the 'Old York', the 'Birdman Enterprises', did almost all their best. The funny thing is that their counterattack is just a funny dance in the eyes of the other party.
The mutual aid association bought out all the technical patents of the opponent at a sky-high price, but unfortunately the other party immediately launched a higher level of technical patents. After their own researchers confirmed that they could not surpass it in the short term, the Mutual Aid Association made another buyout, and the opponent repeated the same trick, and the Mutual Aid Association had to temporarily stop. After that, the 'Gappari Trading Group' sold to companies in various countries at an ultra-low royalty and in an almost free way, so that the mutual aid association lost a large number of customers and chess pieces.
After the failure of high-tech technology, the mutual aid association tried to monopolize the intermediate processing chain so that the other party would lose its production capacity, but the result was still a failure. This terrifying adversary quickly built a large and efficient factory complex, and with the help of unified planning, large-scale manufacturing capabilities, at a price lower than the cost price of the mutual aid product, the quality and shipment of products far exceeded the market share, and the market share was quickly occupied. This trick was originally a routine that the mutual aid association was good at, but now it is used as its own body, which is really ironic.
The two wars have greatly damaged the vitality of the mutual aid association, the major families have suffered huge losses, and many members of small and medium-sized enterprises have gone bankrupt. As if discovering the decline of the Mutual Aid Society, 'Gapari' decided to deal a fatal blow to the Mutual Aid Society. It began to buy the assets of the mutual aid society on a large scale, whether it was a company or a factory, a raw material supplier or an intermediate processing plant, as long as it was their industry, it snatched it one by one. The Mutual Aid Society also tried to resist, but as a result, it was completely defeated under the pressure of the opponent's sophisticated operation and the immeasurable reserve funds.
In 2015, the 'Dark Mutual Aid Society', which had been established for 246 years, was dissolved, and five of the ten major families were completely defeated, and three fled to the United States and went to Gamata, the Kingdom of British Begland, and the Republic of the Russian Federation to hide from the world. There were two left: the 'Lee' family retreated to the capital 'Fransford', while the 'Birdman' family remained in the city of 'Old York' to defend the king
(Come back to Old York, my child, I beg you!) Come back to our broken family, the family needs you! Our family is in tatters and we can't afford to lose you anymore! Plimpton remembered his grandfather's deep plea for his father, GLP, in the last moments of his life. After that, the rebellious father had to end his debauchery and return to the city of Old York.
returned to GLP, who had been absent for more than ten years, and after returning to his hometown, he quickly sorted out the family situation. As my grandfather said, the family is in tatters. By 2017, the city they owned lost the crown of the first city in the whole meter. As a result, the city, which was already full of contradictions and conflicts, quickly lost control, and a large number of enterprises and factories moved out, and even the middle class with high-tech talents and a lot of wealth left Old York.
GLP was not very concerned about the management of the family in the first place, and his return to the family only greatly reduced the rate of shrinkage of the family property. His plan is to eat and wait for death for the rest of his life, and then find a pleasing and obedient woman, have a child, and continue the family, as for the future, he doesn't want to think about it at all, let alone care.
It seems that the heavens are still looking after the 'Birdman' family, and opportunities always fall in front of them inadvertently.
GLP, who is playful by nature and loves video games, came into contact with an epoch-making game--- "Astral Plane", and quickly became obsessed. In this game, GLP is favored by an NPC by chance, and after completing a series of complex tasks, he becomes a member of the "Serpent of the End" --- the NPC's organization, and finally comes into contact with the power that can change the history of human evolution!
GLP. Mason. Birdman, the only son in the family, has five sisters, and is a single heir for several generations, it can be said that he was born with a golden key. In an ordinary family, such a child is a demon king of the world if he is not educated well, but 'Birdman' has a strict family style, and GLP himself is very smart and polite, not only did not bring notoriety to the family, but even became a typical 'child of someone else'.
This title made him a true human being from an early age, and it also made him a loner in a sense prematurely. I have a lot of friends, but none of my best friends. There are many admirers, but no real lovers. Compared with the heirs of many wealthy families, his life journey is extremely plain. Whether it is life or study, it is within the scope of a normal person's experience, regardless of the wealthy family environment, his teenage years are not as interesting as some ordinary people.
After receiving his Ph.D. in biology from the Federal Institute of Technology, he had no interest in continuing his studies. After a brief discussion with my father, I left for the branch of Kama University to familiarize myself with the management of the company, so that I could inherit the family business in the future. Of course, choosing to go abroad is also to change the environment, after all, at home, his prestige is too high, and all kinds of speculators flock to him, so he can't breathe.
GLP is very firm that his fate has been set, and if nothing happens, his future will be to marry a woman who is also a descendant of the ten major families, and then have children, and then take over the management of the family and business from his father, and strive to maintain it, and finally pass it on to his own heirs.
But things seem to be changing, and a new big business suddenly appears, and gradually begins to challenge the status of the 'Dark Mutual Society'. At first, GLP had no interest in it, but he was just a nouveau riche with a bad head. For more than two hundred years, there have been many careerists who have tried to snatch the lion throne, but they have all made big mistakes, after all, under absolute strength, any conspiracy is just a stupid dog trying to push the lion off the cliff, and these unlucky eggs will only become the king's mouth in the end.
Originally, there would have been a lot of negative news about the company in six months at the latest, and the members of the mutual aid association would be like hyenas that have found their prey, encircling and suppressing challengers from all directions. It's just that this time the opponent is different, and the 'Ghapari Trading Group' is not a stepping stone! Things quickly took a turn for the worse, and for the first time, the invincible Mutual Aid Society of Darkness was defeated, so badly and completely that it was the only and final defeat it had.
GLP, who was abroad, realized that the sky had changed until his father contacted him. He took a private jet and rushed back to his father as fast as he could. In front of the sickbed, the strong man, who had always been majestic and tough, became thin and senile, and his golden and lush hair became snow-white and thin.
Everything was so ridiculous that even when his father held his palms with his shriveled hands and used his last breath to explain that he wanted to keep the last family business and maintain the continuation of the family, Pross could not accept the reality of the complete defeat of the family.
After dealing with his father's funeral, GLP took over the entire family and took control of the 'Berdman Enterprise'. Of course, at this time, the enterprise has shrunk severely, and every day the losses are so large that a medium-sized enterprise goes bankrupt. After many discussions with the think tank, GLP clearly realized that the mutual aid society had no chance of winning. He resolutely abandoned all peripheral businesses, retaining only the properties in Old York, and at the same time actively courted the city's political leaders, determined to stick to the family's birthplace.
Fortunately, his enemies did not kill him, and after eating most of the resources of the Dark Mutual Aid Society, it did not rush to kill them. Of the five surviving families, three completely abandoned the property of the United States and withdrew from the war with dignity after negotiating with the 'Gappari Trading Group', while the remaining 'Birdman' family and the 'Lee' family of Pros's fiancée ended the war by surrendering on the condition of agreeing to keep the family's place of origin.
This is perfectly acceptable for GLP and his family. After all, after the defeat of such a large-scale business war, it was already a miracle that the family roots could be preserved. His fate seemed to be back on track, and after marrying his fiancée, he gave birth to a healthy baby boy the following year. By the third year, the battered business had come back to life, and GLP began to grow tired of managing the company, and after delegating most of the management to his staff, he was determined to spend the rest of his life as a good husband and father.
