Chapter 119: Conspiracy (II)
Chapter 119: Conspiracy (II)
In front of the grand front entrance of the Empire State Building, Edmund Edmund Edmund Ander, the first in line to the throne of the Wood family? Fitch of the Wood and Adams Families? Adams arrived first.
Edmund? Wood is the first in line to the throne of the Wood family, who runs the construction industry, and his father, Wood III, has recently deteriorated, so it is believed that in the near future, this rugged-looking man will take over the power of the Wood family and become the fourth generation of the construction oligarchy. And the fancy Beatles-like Fitch who accompanies him? Adams had recently taken over most of the Adams family's power, and although the Addams family had not yet made an official announcement, anyone could see that Adams III was prepared to smoothly transition the family's power to Feige, his doting second son, while he was still healthy.
Among the top ten wealthy families in the Federation, although the Wood family, which operates the construction industry, and the Adams family, which operates various livelihood and textile industries, are unattainable wealthy nobles in the eyes of the common people, in the aristocratic circle of the top ten wealthy families, the status of the Wood family and the Adams family, which lack the support of core technology, is actually quite embarrassing. As long as the other wealthy families agree, they will soon be able to support another family to take their place, so Edmund, who is the new generation of power holders of the family? Wood and Feige? Adams is actually under tremendous pressure to survive. Will they be the first to respond to Eugene this time? Mellon's call is also because they have smelled that a huge political storm is about to sweep in. So, in order to keep his family position in the future, Edmund? Wood and Feige? Adams had no choice but to take the plunge and risk his participation in this dangerous game.
Shortly after they arrived, a black maglev car with a loud roar of engine suddenly sped up like lightning, flicked its tail with a beautiful drift, and instantly stopped in front of the main entrance of the Empire State Building.
Opening the car door, a handsome young man with curly brown hair and wearing retro toad glasses stepped out of the maglev car and casually threw the key to the building waiter who hurriedly stepped forward.
Lev? Ford, the first heir to the Ford family, an oligarchy in the machinery manufacturing industry, is another power-holder with a star-like dazzling temperament among the top ten giants. But unlike Ansel, who focuses on family affairs, Lev? Ford's father, Ford III, was in the prime of life, so as the first heir to the family, Lev? Ford was almost not involved in family affairs, but was obsessed with racing. At the moment, Lev? Ford is one of the top three professional racers in the Federation, and in addition to his prowess, his title of heir to a wealthy family and his outstanding appearance have made him a sought-after entertainment star in the Federation. And the name Talev also happens to mean popular lover in Norwegian, and from this point of view, it is quite a match for his current status.
When Edmund? Wood, Feige? Adams and Lev? When Ford took the elevator to the office on the 102nd floor of the Empire State Building, several luxury maglev vehicles with awkward styles stopped in front of the main entrance of the Empire State Building.
Robert, in his riding boots and a retro riding outfit? Rockefeller, a casually dressed Simon with a pair of rimless glasses? DuPont, and Olier, dressed in a sleek and crisp, standard banker attire? Morgan also arrived one after another.
Until all the heirs of the wealthy families are seated in their respective seats within the 102nd floor, Cyril of the House of Byron? Byron was late.
Unlike the chatter and laughter of the heirs of other wealthy families, Cyril was the last to arrive? Byron's face was gloomy. After arriving, he only exchanged pleasantries with the other people and then sat down in his place silently.
On the first seat, Ansel, who was carefully looking at Cyril's gloomy face, smiled secretly, and he could roughly guess why Cyril's mood was so bad, and this was exactly what he wanted to happen at the moment.
Raising his glass high, Ansel, as the host, looked around gracefully, and said loudly with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much for responding to this invitation, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of the Osveld family for coming from afar. ”
With that, Anse El first drank the red wine in his glass. Subsequently, Eugene? Mellon was the first to respond, while Edmund? Wood and Feige? After a little hesitation, Adams also drank the wine in one gulp in speculation.
Except for the four of them, among all the people here, Lev? Ford, Robert? Rockefeller, Simon? DuPont, Olier? Morgan, Cyril? Although the five Byron also raised their glasses in response, they did not drink it all like Eugene, but put down the wine glass after tasting it.
Ansel's toast was a temptation, and everyone in the audience gave their own statements. Except for Edmund, who is in an awkward position? Wood and Feige? Aside from Adams, the other heirs of the five giants obviously have no immediate intention of taking a stand.
"Thank you very much for having me, Mr. Ansel. I am flattered by your hospitality. But...... With all due respect, why isn't Claire from the Rex family the only one you're hosting this time? ”
The person who spoke was Lev of the Ford family, and this seemingly prodigal son was not actually a brainless playboy. On the contrary, he is no less shrewd than Ansel, and although he does not deal with any family affairs, no one denies his family influence. So, his statement is far more than that of the Ford family's family spokesperson in Proxima Centauri? Ford came with more weight.
And the Claire he mentioned is the first in line to the throne of the Rex family, a rising star who is gradually rising in the political arena. If nothing else, as long as Dawson? If Rex can be re-elected in the next election, there is a good chance that the presidency will be transferred to his son Claire? Rex's hands.
"Mr. Lev." Hearing this, Anse El looked around and asked in a subdued tone: "This is a grand event that only future leaders of wealthy families have the right to participate in, and the Rex family, they are giants?" ”
“……”
Ansel's bold remarks made everyone present look pale. After all, the top ten wealthy families in the Federation have always been a whole, and now, Anse El actually meant to remove the Rex family, which suddenly caught everyone off guard.
"Mr. Ansel, I think I need to correct this statement of yours. In the Federation, everyone knows that there are ten big families, but now, there are only nine people here. "Oliel, the oldest of all the people here? Morgan opened his mouth to speak.
Olier? Morgan is in his forties and is gradually taking over the family with the help of Morgan Sr. And the Morgan family is also the family that has the closest relationship with the Rex family among the wealthy families, except for the eleventh heir of the family, Abel ? In addition to Morgan's position as secretary general of Congress, the federal finance secretary Bowen ? Morgan is also a direct member of the Morgan family. Therefore, in addition to being the undisputed financial giants of the financial industry, the Morgan family is also regarded as a loyal henchman of the Rex family. Now, as the future ruler of the Morgan family, Olier? It was no surprise that Morgan would stand up for the authority of the Rex family.
"Yes, the Federation does have ten giants, but only nine of them are making substantial contributions to the Federation." Unabashedly with Olier? Morgan looked at each other, Anse El put down his glass, and said in a deep voice: "The Osvid family is in charge of the arms industry, the Mellon family is in charge of the entertainment industry, the Wood family is in charge of the construction industry, the Adams family is in charge of the people's livelihood and the textile industry, the Ford family is in charge of the machinery manufacturing industry, the DuPont family is in charge of the chemical industry, the Byron family is in charge of mining refining, the Rockefeller family is in charge of the energy industry, and the Ford family is in charge of financial stability......"
Speaking of this, Anse El suddenly paused, and said with a sarcasm... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
