Now for a family council?
This decision made several elders look at each other, shouldn't they directly use force to force everyone to agree with him? Why did he go around again? Wasn't he afraid that the elders would embarrass him at the family meeting? These elders exchanged a few glances in private, feeling that the situation had taken a turn again, and they were all good at playing with power.
Moments later, the group returned to the underground council hall, a slight difference from an hour earlier, Charlie had replaced Brad and had taken the chief seat.
Caitlyn woke up faintly, her face was a little more watery, she felt a lot more energetic, and she was a little surprised to see the situation in front of her, her nephew, who was desperately defending her, actually sat in Brad's place openly, this scene made Caitlyn feel like a world away.
Abby whispered in her ear, quickly explaining what had just happened.
Glancing at the preoccupied elders, Charlie said, "The main reason for calling everyone down for this family meeting is that I want to announce a major decision......
It's coming! Sure enough, it still doesn't follow common sense, and the elders are not given a chance to show it.
Charlie said loudly: "Everyone has seen the situation today, I admit that I used to be a playboy who did not do his job, but in essence, I did not do anything bad to resent. The incident of peeping at the princess a year ago has now been confirmed to be a trap against me, and the Griffin incident of the butler of Fort William is also a second conspiracy against me, with the aim of completely crushing me!
The reason behind this, I think everyone can guess. Luckily, I've awakened and improved in my intelligence and abilities, so I'm back today with the intention of getting back what was stolen!
I tell you very clearly, I must do it, Patriarch Pavel! This is my right and my responsibility, and now I have the ability to sit in this position! What do you say, uncles and aunts?" Charlie put his hands on the table, smiling and looking at everyone.
Although there was no armed force around them, everyone remembered the scene that had just happened in the central garden, the scene of more than 600 magical velociraptors jumping, the vigilant scene of the elite elf troops, and the tragic scene of the headless corpses of berserkers and sword masters pulling out and writhing, still circling in their minds, and the reality was not their turn to say a word "no"!
Caitlin spoke out unexpectedly and said, "Little Charlie, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have finally grown up, and my aunt is very relieved and grateful for your life-saving grace!"
Charlie smiled and said: "Auntie, we are close relatives, what are you doing so politely? Auntie has worked too hard for the family, and a little later, I will recuperate my aunt's body, hoping to dispel the disease and regain her health." ”
Life magic has a good conditioning effect on her body, and with the elves accumulating some rare potions, it is not impossible to give Caitlyn a new life, after all, she is not yet 50 years old, and she is in the prime of life.
Catelyn nodded.
Charlie continued: "Since there is no objection, I will assume that everyone has acquiesced, and then I will announce something.
In my father's time, he grabbed a lot of power with one hand, and to a certain extent, he eroded everyone's rights, which in itself was a violation of the clan rules and was not worthy of praise. Of course, we should also understand it, because at that time the family had a lot of shortcomings, and all the businesses were in a relatively bad state, but through his efforts, they have all been reborn, and now they are doing very well.
Now that I'm in charge of the family affairs, I probably don't have as much time and energy to manage these businesses......"
It sounds like they still have to share the cake! Like Brad's approach, he won the support of the people by dividing the cake! Thinking of this, the minds of these elders came alive again, and they began to try to accept Charlie, instead of being forced by force to maintain a superficial submission.
Ethan couldn't help but say, "Charlie, your consciousness is...... Divide the property?"
Ethan was always impatient, and that appearance made the other elders feel a trace of disgust and disdain in their hearts.
Charlie nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, it is to divide the family property, and it is a complete separation! My suggestion is to divide the respective industries according to the genetic regulations of the previous generation, those belong to you personally, and those emerging industries are of a special nature, the ownership belongs to the family, and I will manage it on my behalf, and Brad's part also belongs to the family. ”
As soon as this opinion came out, Macedonia had an ecstatic expression on his face, according to the genetic regulations of the previous generation, he will use the bay ranch and the ranch area with a large view and the best scenic beach estate, it can be said that the division is quite generous, this article alone is enough for Macedonia to eat and firmly defend Charlie's decision.
What's more, Charlie also mentioned that this partition is a complete partition, and those properties will become their private property, inherited by future generations, and will not be taken back by the family.
As for the gimmicks mentioned by Charlie: "Emerging industries belong to the family and are managed by him," they don't care if Charlie plays with these concepts and divides the cake! Since Charlie is the winner, of course he has to eat the biggest piece, and after his death, the Brad family has become the biggest loser.
Seeing the suppressed joyful expressions of these elders, Charlie emphasized: "After the separation, they will be everyone's private property, and they will be disposed of by you at will, and the family will not care, but in this way, there will inevitably be an inevitable impact: that is, the nature of the family council will undergo some changes.
In the past, everyone was bound together for the common good, exercising the rights of elders, and escorting the Pavel family's advance, but now after the partition, your private property no longer belongs to the family, and of course you cannot dictate the affairs of the family.
So, the family council becomes a rather loose business alliance, you are not responsible for the family affairs, and the family does not care about the profit and loss of your business, in short, from now on, our interactions will become ordinary business practices, and everything will be done according to the rules of business.
What are your thoughts on this proposal?"
When Charlie finished saying his thoughts, everyone's hearts were shocked, this plan seemed to be consistent with the plan promoted by Brad, and if you carefully distinguish it, it is fundamentally different.
Using seventy percent of the cake as bait to exclude all the elders from the family and turn the Pavel family into his independent kingdom! This is a big deal! Quite bold!! The question is whether these elders can refuse his proposal?
Everyone calculates in their hearts what they gain and what they lose.
Charlie is also not in a hurry, waiting for them to think and make a decision.
In Thomas's time, it was the period when the power of the elders of the family was the weakest, basically only the right to make suggestions, not the right to decide, and this situation continued until the time of Brad's administration, as the acting head of the family, his prestige was only slightly higher than that of the other brothers, during this period, the authority of the major elders gradually expanded, and the family council gradually gained some atmosphere, which seemed to be more democratic, but because of each other's hindrances, the efficiency was lower, and the strategy was difficult, so that the development was hindered a lot, and I believe that they were tired of this model.
In contrast, Charlie's proposal becomes very attractive, and the only injustice is that if the cake is divided according to the inheritance regulations of the previous generation, the cake is large and small, and it is very uneven;
Macedonia looked at the crowd and said, "I support Charlie's proposal! That's fair, those inheritances themselves are the wealth left to us by the previous generation, and it is a very wise decision to return them to us now!"
After Macedonia expressed his position, many elders scolded in their hearts, of course you damn pig will support it, one bay ranch is enough for you to eat for a lifetime! No! Eat for three lifetimes!!
Caitlin didn't hesitate to say, "Charlie, I've got your back!"
Soon, Ethan also expressed his position, he himself was based on the townhouse shop on Danfeng Avenue, and he could be used as his own private property, he was also satisfied.
Three of the six elders expressed their support, and counting Charlie's own vote, it was almost passed, so the remaining three did not raise any objections and directly agreed to the resolution.
Charlie turned his head sideways and said to Brian behind him: "Take out the agreement I have prepared, everyone sign it, and it can be announced to the public later." ”
Faced with this situation, these elders could only carry out their decisions to the end, take a cursory glance at the contents of the document, and after confirming that it was correct, they signed their names.
When the last person put pen to paper, everyone looked at each other in unison, and this moment had some different historical significance: from this day on, the Pavel family will be completely separated! There will be no more fetters with each other, and each will live its own life!
There is no doubt that Charlie is the biggest winner, from being expelled and deprived of all his property, to now he has the biggest piece of cake alone, and he also makes the other elders have a supportive attitude, which has to make people marvel at his ability to control the situation!
Macedonia couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Charlie, today Uncle has really re-acquainted with you! Too much emotion! How can I say it? You are worthy of being the son of Thomas, and I believe that you will not be an ordinary character in the future! Your achievements will not be lower than Thomas! Come on!!"
This should be his heartfelt words!
Charlie smiled and said, "Thank you, Uncle Macedon, for the compliment!
As the crowd was ready to start leaving, Charlie shouted, "Wait!"
This sound made several elders stir again, for fear that he would regret it, and his eyes were full of doubts.
Charlie smiled at them and said, "I still have some news to share with you, it's a big event that happened in the Arcane Ring, maybe you've heard some rumors, now I'm going to get down to business, and I can be considered a reminder for you." ”
The elders sat down again and waited silently.
"Before I returned, there was an earth-shattering battle in the Arcane Ring, which led to the near destruction of the Arcane Ring Courtyard, a magic temple with a population of less than 400 people, and the Crimson Emperor fell in the Great War......"
