Charlie looked around and saw people of different ages and temperaments sitting in the drawing room, their faces showing different looks, the most common of which was scrutiny, curious scrutiny.

Yes, they all have their own observations and judgments and are not affected by Donald's attitude, which is a faint indication of their identity.

This group of people is also divided into levels and ranks, on several independent sofa chairs on Donald's right, there are several middle-aged men, they are dressed in similar styles, dressed in brocade gowns, with ribbons, neat breasts and precious stones, staggered, and the pleated narrow skirt on the lower body shows the complexity and delicacy vividly and exquisitely, just sitting so casually, an inexplicable aura rushes to the face.

The old men on Donald's left were not so well-dressed, their eyes were full of wisdom, but their momentum was much weaker, and they did not have that casual and free temperament.

Donald said to Charlie: "Let me introduce you first, basically all of you here are your own people, all my business team has been here over the years, some of them are my elders, Harvey, Nat, Dumar's three uncles, Harvey is responsible for the confidentiality of the entire project, leading a security guard; Nat, is the director of the tea farm, mainly responsible for production, Dumar, is responsible for the negotiation of the channel, leading a negotiation team.

Others are elderly people who have served the family for at least 30 years, most of them have been with me for more than 10 years, and they form the basic skeleton of my team, so I will not name them here.

Finally, the beautiful woman with beauty, figure and wisdom is introduced, the darling of the Lord, Miss Anna, the image ambassador of tea, who and Count Joseph presided over the planning and promotion of tea. ”

Anna raised her chin slightly and smiled elegantly, "You big boss is also comfortable, you don't have to think about anything, just sit and wait for others to help you cook delicious cakes." ”

Charlie touched the mask, and the touch of the magic rhinoceros skin made him feel a little unaccustomed, and he responded: "For people at our level, the most valuable thing is not a team, nor a channel, nor a network, because at our level, there is basically no shortage of these things."

What we lack is a good product, whether it is an idea or a new thing, a good product can rejuvenate a decadent business.

Tea has caused such a stir in high society that it proves its worth.

It was first discovered by me, mastered, and brought to the civilized world, this is my advantage, but also my capital, you can't say that I have no labor, just deny my contribution, to be reasonable, my contribution should be greater than everyone here.

To put it mildly, whoever hands it over to do it will succeed, the difference is only the difference between time and profit, and I handed it over to Donald to operate, which represents a kind of trust, believing that he can give full play to its value!

In the future, this is a business worth hundreds of billions, everyone do it well, and the future is very impressive. ”

At first glance, everyone thought that Charlie was a taciturn man, but now listening to him refute Anna, it feels that he is a sharp leader like Donald.

There are very few people in this group who know Charlie's true identity, and Anna is undoubtedly the exception.

Bang Bang Bang!

Anna applauded alone, a strange light flashing in her amber pupils, "Every good capitalist is good at painting cakes, no wonder you are the boss of Louis XIV, but isn't it too ungraceful to be honest with such a lovely girl!"

"Louis XIV?" Charlie grasped an unfamiliar term.

Anna casually explained: "Donald's father is Louis XIII, so of course he is Louis XIV!"

Donald blushed slightly and said, "Anna, don't talk nonsense, it's not good for outsiders to hear." ”

Anna pouted, "Hypocrisy!"

Donald smiled, didn't distinguish with her, and talked eloquently: "First of all, thank you very much for your hard work during this time, so that the layout of the tea industry is gradually on the right track.

Our tea farm has been secretly built, it has a full set of very advanced alchemy climate regulation system, the management mechanism is relatively perfect, after several months of continuous investment, it has produced the first batch of tea, but also the real meaning of mass production tea, in line with the law of cost tea.

The early publicity work was also very successful, it has entered the upper class, proved its worth, and the activities derived around it have become synonymous with nobility and elegance.

The construction of the channel is also ongoing, more than a dozen cities have shown strong interest in it, and the royal family has opened the door to pay tribute, almost lining up to talk to us, and if nothing else, our rudimentary channel network will be deployed within two months after Three Saints' Day.

According to this development trend, we are very likely to usher in a burst of orders at the beginning of next year! A market of hundreds of millions is about to open its doors to us, which will bring us and our partners a lot of wealth, and this is only the beginning, and the factor that restricts it is not market demand, but our production capacity.

This is where we are now!"

After a summary, everyone bowed slightly, and the results that can be seen are the most morale-boosting things.

Then, Donald's face gradually darkened, "The reason why we can progress so quickly comes from everyone's efforts on the one hand, and my father's support on the other.

A month ago, I showed him the tea, described the current boom, and explained my operational ideas, on the spot, he decided to let the family fully support me, whether it is funds, channels, talents, or connections, full support, so that today's speed and achievement.

Unfortunately, fate is not always as expected.

An unexpected accident happened the other day, as expected because it was destined to happen, unexpectedly because it was destined to happen, unexpectedly it came so quickly and without warning, at the best moment of our development, just before the bet between me and my father was fulfilled, and what is even more strange is that a month ago, although my father was weak, he was able to maintain a relatively stable state, and his health deteriorated beyond expectations.

There are always some deep-seated reasons for coincidences, and of course I don't have the evidence and don't dare to say anything more.

So, I can only remind my partners that this could be a turning point for our family, and at the same time a turning point in my destiny, and if we do nothing, we will most likely lose all the fruits of our struggle, and the fruits of our hard work will be plucked by others.

If my opponent becomes the patriarch of the Louis family, he can control the family's resource network, reverse infiltration, and eventually control the tea business, which is inevitable, because the fruit of tea is attached to the vein of the Louis family.

I have brought you here today to discuss a coping strategy, and we must do something during this time, at least so that the patriarch does not fall on the head of my opponent. ”

Donald got started, and a group of people began to express their opinions, mostly analyzing the internal situation of the family and the strength of several heirs in line with each other.

Charlie didn't understand the situation, and silently made a listener, and in an afternoon, he also heard some eyebrows.

Louis XIII was a merry man by nature, and experienced two wives and four recognized lovers in his life, of course, there were countless mistresses who did not recognize, so he had 7 sons and 2 daughters, the eldest of whom died of illness at an early age, and the youngest was only 5 years old.

According to the tradition of the Louis family, only male members have the right to inherit, so there are a total of 6 heirs, Donald is the third in age and third in line.

Donald's mother was the daughter of a declining sir, who was favored by Louis XIII as a woman when she was a cook in the Louis family, and gave birth to a son for him, who was the most humble relative to other lovers, so when he was born, Donald was at the bottom of the line of succession, and his promotion to third place was the result of his years of hard work.

The second eldest Nicholas, his maternal family is the wealthy family of Faro City, the Hausenville family, and has some military background, the relationship between the Louis family and the Houssenwell is similar to the relationship between the Pavel family and the Gosta family, the difference is that the background of the Houisenwell is more complex and can be compared to the Louis family.

The fourth Bill, who regards Donald as his biggest opponent, is the underground gang of Faro City, the boss of all the sects, and the most ambitious and dangerous of all the heirs in line.

The fifth, seventh and ninth are good friends with Donald, and because the gap between them and the brothers in front of them is too big, they don't have much to fight for power.

Anna is ranked sixth, and her background is similar to that of Donald, although she and Donald are not siblings of the same mother, but the relationship is better than that of a biological brother and sister.

For Donald, the biggest concern is that Bill will become the head of the family, other than that, other results are more or less acceptable, of course, if Nicholas becomes the head of the family, I am afraid that some of the profits of the tea business will be plundered, which is the result that he is unwilling to accept.

After a detailed analysis, Charlie found that the situation was not as optimistic as imagined, Donald was good at business, and it was through doing business that he received his father's attention, so that he earned the current third-ranked succession line, and he had the most businessmen and the strongest economic strength.

However, after the death of Louis XIII, Donald's advantage became insignificant, his power was far less than that of his two brothers, and he could not get enough support from his mother's side, so it was a fantasy for him to take the position of patriarch.

A week later, it's the day of the showdown, when it's time to compare who has the most helpers and who has the most power.

Charlie looked at the room full of businessmen, and the new student sighed, I am afraid that this trip to the troubled water will be very dangerous!
