"Mr. Zhou, is there anything funny about this?"

Being so ridiculed for his proudest status, this Morgan descendant named John Vince was about to explode almost immediately. But I don't know if it's because of self-cultivation or jealousy. He didn't really break out in the end, either. Instead, she pressed her voice and asked him the question.

And faced with such a problem, Smith. Zhou just unhurriedly picked up his glass and slowly tasted what he claimed to be the best red wine in the Bordeaux region before he showed a solemn smile and said disdainfully to him.

"Isn't it ridiculous to hang the name of a dead guy on your head all day long, and then proudly show it off?"

"Mr. Zhou, please pay attention to your words!" Unable to resist slapping the table hard, John Vince began to grit his teeth. "The person you're commenting on is my grandfather. You are slandering the merits of his life! ”

"Did I slander him?" Pick a finger, Smith. Zhou replied casually and indifferently. "It's as if I was just telling the truth from the beginning. Morgan is dead. What, did I poke you in the sore spot? It reminds you that your family has long ceased to be glorious and has fallen to the bottom. Is it a reality that you can only survive on the name of a dead person for the rest of your life? ”

"I'm sorry, I don't know how to comfort people. If these words hurt you, please bear with me. Endure it and it will pass. Isn't this something your family has been accustomed to for a hundred years? ”

Sarcasm, merciless sarcasm. Smith. Zhou's words were like a steel knife to scratch away the pride that John Vince had struggled to maintain throughout his life, and directly ripped out the most painful and powerless truth in his heart.

Yes, having an outstanding and admirable ancestor is indeed a very proud thing. However, if you simply do not have the ability to inherit your ancestors, you will not even be able to keep the inheritance they left behind. Then you, as a descendant with the same surname, are obviously unqualified.

No matter how the Morgan family tried to explain it, they couldn't change one fact. That is, the Morgan family has been reduced from a host to a guest. Even to the point where a guest is not very welcome. Morgan's name protects them, and they can't even have a say in the current Morgan consortium. Especially after Morgan was divided into big and small Mo, their rights plummeted.

Maybe there will be people who remember Morgan's name over the years, but if they continue to be so uncompetitive, then in another ten or twenty years, after Morgan's brilliant people, those who have friends with the Morgan family, have passed away one by one, who cares who Morgan is?

That's what John Vince fears the most, and it's the last thing he wants to see. All along, Morgan's grandson has tried his best to avoid exposing such truths to outsiders. He has been covering it all with the finest wealth and luxury. Although all this is not a secret to many people in high positions. But as long as no one debunks him, he can still be an ostrich with his head stuck in the sand.

But now, the sand buried in his head has been removed, and the problem he has been most afraid of facing has been directly placed in front of him. This made him really a little unacceptable for a while.

When people can't accept the reality in front of them, they tend to make a lot of special changes. Some people will be silent, and some people will rebel wildly. And people like John Vince, who are already old, have begun to open the dye shop on their faces, and their faces are constantly changing.

From red to white, from white to blue, one color change after another, he began to have a feeling of rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath. If such a feeling is in a young person, it is naturally harmless. But if it happens to an elderly man like him, then it is definitely a serious problem.

Not daring to hesitate at all, he took out the pill he was carrying from his pocket with trembling hands. And after taking a sip of wine, desperately swallowing all the bitter medicinal taste in his stomach. It wasn't until he felt his heartbeat calm down completely that he had a reply to Smith. Courage of the week.

"Did you say so much just to humiliate me and my family? You've let me down so much. Smith. Mr. Zhou, is this what you should do with a host who warmly invites you? ”

"On the premise that this meal is quite satisfying! I'll tell you plainly. ”

Flicking the fork in his hand, Smith. Zhou smiled with a smile that made John Vince look a little afraid. As a perennial person who mixes in the upper circles. He knew exactly what that smile meant. It's a smile that is in the palm of a victory, and that kind of smile is usually only on the face of the winner.

For example, the once very ostentatious Howard. Stark and his son. These are two natural victors, even in the encirclement of the power of the consortium, they can fight their way out. And now, Smith. Zhou also showed such a smile. This made John Vince, who had nothing to do but eat his old book, suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Still, even if he was uncomfortable. Didn't dare to interrupt Smith. Zhou's speech, so he could only pull his tie and listen to Smith while releasing pressure on himself. Zhou's Takami.

"First of all, there should have been no good intentions and enthusiasm in our past. From the point of view of our position and position, we will not have any friendship with each other. You invited me over just to talk about a deal. This is a red fruit deal. So, whatever I say, it's just part of the deal. As long as you don't want the deal to fall apart yet, then you can't blame anything on this issue. Otherwise, those behind you should not forgive you. Even if it's Morgan's descendants! ”

This is the biggest secret in John Vince's heart. It's better than just Smith. Everything that Zhou revealed was something more important. This kind of revelation made his already calm face change again. And this time, even the most effective pills couldn't save his heartbeat.

It could be seen that he was eager to say something at this time. However, Smith. Zhou didn't give him this opportunity at all, but stood up in a very strong way, stepped in front of him, and said with a condescending sneer.

"You must be asking me, why do I know this, right?"

John Vince nodded, and then he got Smith. Zhou's answer.

"The reason is simple. You've played too far! ”

"I confess that Morgan is indeed the greatest businessman in the world. But he should leave behind a wealth that you descendants should not be able to squander. Like Rockefeller, could the Morgans be a little special? Can your family's foundation support the pomp and circumstance I see? ”

Smith. Zhou's rhetorical question gave John Vince an embarrassed look on his face, but he still forcibly pulled himself together and retorted at him.

"No matter how bad our descendants may be, we are still part of the Morgan family. Money has never been an issue for us! As long as we want, even more luxurious things are just easy to get. Your doubts are just fuss. ”

"Really?" Grinning, Smith. Zhou just sneered. "Maybe you're in a better position than the Rockefeller you once were. After all, there are too few cases like Rockefeller that can't even keep a stake in the last company. But how much can you keep? ”

"JPMorgan Bank was sold by you to Chase Manhattan. The business belonging to Morgan was also spun off to Morgan Stanley. Although you have gained a small profit from this, it should not be worth mentioning compared to what you have lost. Of course, because of the particularity of your family, you can still be a guest of the Morgan consortium, or even a core-like existence. However, I think you should also have noticed that the current Morgan family is not as loud and useful as it used to be. Especially after Christianity became a liar and England was in ruins! ”

Smith. Zhou's words made John Vince completely unable to refute. Over the years, the reason why the Morgan family has been able to maintain a transcendent position in the upper circle of the United States is not only the legacy of JP Morgan, but also the relationship that the Morgan family has spent countless efforts to establish in Europe.

The royal family and religion, these are the relationships they painstakingly manage. Even in John Vince's previous generation, the family still maintained a friendship with the British royal family and the pope. This is their hole card, and it is the hole card that can make a comeback no matter how far the Morgan family falls.

It's just that with the rise of Zhou Yi and the fall of Britain, these hole cards have not been played yet, and they have been completely abolished. And the loss of these two hole cards of Morgan, for the current consortium, is also equivalent to the loss of basic value. All it takes is one chance for them to mercilessly kick the Morgan out of the consortium with their names on it. It's like what the Rockefeller consortium did to the Rockefeller family.

John Vince also knew this, which is why he took on the task so diligently, as the vanguard of the consortium, to entertain Smith. Zhou, this special character.

In his opinion, this is an opportunity for the Morgan family to re-emerge. Because only by ensuring that they can establish a stable relationship with such an existence can they regain their foothold in the consortium and have their own voice.

In his vision, he should be able to impress this special superhero with the resources at his disposal, so that he willingly becomes his partner. But now it seems that things are not at all what he envisioned. Or rather, from the very beginning, the situation was out of his control.

Now it's Smith. Week's home too. He has already lost the initiative!
