143. The Succession Controversy 6 - Final Preparations

Watching Keno tiptoe away from the Cooper family's estate, Henry shook his head with some contempt, a man blinded by superficial interests, who had taken him very seriously in the first place.

What about these high-profit chambers of commerce in Keno's Dao, even if there is a contract, can he control the people of the caravan? Does he have experience in running a large chamber of commerce? Keno didn't think about these things, he only saw that these chambers of commerce were walking on the gold trade routes of the provinces, and they could bring rolling benefits.

However, once he could not play with these caravans, all those who were in charge, transported goods, and ran the business would leave, and he would only need to supply some more goods to the chambers of commerce that had transferred the caravans today, and these caravans would return to the hands of these chambers of commerce.

However, it is also good that one person who is too capable is not easy to control, and the Cooper family does not want another powerful family in the Republican Party to share the leadership position with them.

Turning around, Henry was about to walk back to the house, only to see a president of a chamber of commerce who was attending the meeting today hurriedly walked out of the room, and saw Henry nodding and bowing quickly, this little boss named Shepard is very knowledgeable about current affairs, and very happily handed over a caravan in his hand, for obedient people, Henry has always been very haode.

"Hehe, President Shepard, you're not gone yet?"

Shepard, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes, hurriedly shook Henry's outstretched hand with both hands and said, "Hehe, I ate messy things yesterday, I had some diarrhea, and I borrowed the bathroom in the manor, I'm really embarrassed." ”

"Say there, please make my home your own. Henry finished. He pulled out his hand and prepared to leave, but Shepard seemed to have a rare opportunity to be close to the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and still took Henry's hand and said: "Lord Henry, I really admire you, the people who go out of the Cooper family are elites, and I met a ...... a few days ago."

Henry is really a little impatient, he has seen too many people like Shepard, nothing more than hoping to establish a good relationship with him, and take more benefits when doing business with the Cooper Chamber of Commerce in the future, in general. Henry just talked to them without a few pains and walked away. However, the next words attracted Henry's attention.

"There's a woman named Miranda, who seems to be the president of a company called the Magic Electric Chamber of Commerce, and she's amazing. ”

Miranda. Henry still had some impressions of the name. It seems to be the president of the Magic Electrical Chamber of Commerce that Philip Ross did. I heard that she was very talented, and she once found someone to woo Miranda, but she didn't expect this woman to be very loyal to his master's family. Afterwards. Henry also forgot about it, the Cooper family has many business geniuses, and they can't bother with a person who leaves the family with an iron heart.

Now Shepard spoke of Miranda, and Henry's current enemy of helping Miranda's employer, which piqued Henry's interest.

"Oh, tell me how amazing she is. ”

"In just half a year, the Magical Electric Chamber of Commerce she runs has grown from a small chamber of commerce with no name to a famous chamber of commerce in the Galia region, not only Lobit, but also the high elves of the Phoenix Forest in the city of Galia near him. Many of the dark elves living in the crypt rushed to Lobit's Magic Electrification Chamber of Commerce to buy magic crystals, although the cheap magic crystals of the Magic Electrical Chamber of Commerce were the main factor, but without a qualified business talent to handle all this, I am afraid it would be difficult to quickly open up sales, and now, Miranda is no longer satisfied with the domestic market, and is discussing cooperation with me to sell to other provinces. ”

It is indeed a bit of ability, Henry nodded, it seems that Miranda has become a relatively famous businessman in the area near Galia, in just half a year, she can do this, she is a talent.

Henry's eyes flashed with a treacherous smile as his fat hand touched his fallen double chin.

"Phew!"

The door was slammed so hard that the latch even bulged outward, but unfortunately the large iron door made of metal was not blasted open, and Grace, who gritted his teeth, angrily glanced at the large iron door that had locked himself, returned to the table, raised a cup of fresh virgin blood, and drank it into his mouth.

She returned to Wellington a day after Philip, and when Prince Adrian of the Watson family wrote to Grace to return to Wellington to discuss how to support Philip in his quest for an heir, the Duchess of the Bloodline immediately rushed back to the Watson family castle.

After returning to the family castle, she was greeted not by the family's think tank but by a room that was forbidden by magic, even if Grace had now become a duke-level blood clan, she could not break through the large iron door made of steel and engraved with five magic arrays.

Prince Adrian's goal is very clear, Philip's current situation is not optimistic, as far as he knows, many elders of the Rose family support Keno, I heard that Keno also has a secret weapon that can bring great benefits to the Rose family, Philip is likely to be unable to succeed in obtaining the heir position, and the Watson family can no longer be on Philip's side, so as not to offend the future ruler of the Rose family.

"Knock!" someone knocked on the iron door outside, and Grace saw a letter stuffed through the crack in the door, and Philip's autographed name was covered on the seal, indicating that it had not been opened.

"Stay in the castle of the Watson family, don't worry about me, deal with the enemy, your lover is no longer the simple big boy next door, when you return, let me greet you with the title of family heir." ”

Holding the letter to his chest, Greystone burst into tears, no matter how Philip changes, he will always be so caring to the people he loves.

——————

His hand gently caressed the hard wooden desk, and the shiny paint vaguely illuminated Philip's shadow, and the resemblance to George's blood made Philip seem to see his eldest brother looking at the other side.

Philip remembers a few years ago, when he was a teenager, George, who had gradually taken control of the family's affairs, sat behind this desk and began to deal with the mountains of official documents. Although George, who had just come of age, had a hard time dealing with these things, whenever Philip came, he would always put down his pen and talk to Philip.

Today, the things in the office have not changed, and the people are gone.

"Knock, sir. ”

There was a knock on the door behind him, and Mullen said to Philip with a complicated expression at the door, for Philip's support, this subordinate who grew up with George is habitually supportive, for him, supporting people who can inherit George's legacy is what he must do, but in Mullen's mind, the relatively "mediocre" Philip is far from being comparable to the "wise and martial" George.

It's just that, for George's sake, Mullen will definitely support Philip to the end.

"Mullen. Philip nodded, motioned for his new subordinate to come in, and politely invited him to sit down in front of the small sofa in the reception area. It's not too much enthusiasm for someone who has just become their subordinate.

"My lord, the form is not optimistic. As soon as Mullen sat down, his brow furrowed like a Sichuan character, and he looked worried. "According to the latest news, Keno has the support of four elders, plus the four people of his own original faction, there will be a total of four elders to support him, and I heard that there are two elders who will remain neutral, which means that there will be no more than five elders who support us, and we are now in a very disadvantaged position. ”

Philip didn't show much panic, just took a white porcelain cup in his hand, took a sip and didn't reply, although the form seemed to be unfavorable to Philip, but he was not completely without bargaining chips, the five elders who supported him, whether it was because of his father or because of his eldest brother, must be die-hard, and they will definitely not change again, and except for the four elders on the original Keno side, the other six elders must be wavering.

For these elders of the Ross family, Philip can be sure that most of them still put the interests of the family first, and some people support Keno because they have taken a fancy to Keno for a long time in Wellington and have done things for the interests of the family under their noses, while Philip is far away, and they can't see Philip's brilliance.

And there is one point, most of Keno's cards have been exposed, and the cards in Philip's hand are still in the secret stage, and even the Malen in front of him does not know much, and the enemy is in the light and I am in the dark, which is Philip's biggest advantage.

Seeing Philip's tepid appearance, Maren became even more anxious, and said, "My lord, tomorrow is the day when the heir will be finally discussed, let's visit a few more elders while we still have time, maybe we can make the elders change their minds." ”

Philip smiled, did not speak, outside the door, Franklin hurriedly walked in, saw that Mullen was also here, nodded, and then said to Philip: "My lord, I have visited all the members of the Presbyterian Church on your behalf except for Keno and your father, a total of five elders support you, eight elders support Keno, and two elders remain neutral, among them, two elders who support Keno are former neutrals, and two are former supporters of Lord George." ”

Seeing the stunned look on Mullen's face, Philip said with a smile: "It is the most basic etiquette to visit the elders before the election, although I did not go in person, but Franklin, the former prime minister's chief staff, went to visit on my behalf, and I still respect their performance very much, and Franklin, you have told them about that matter." ”

"As for the elders who have maintained a neutral attitude and recently supported Kino, I have told them that you are busy with something that can greatly help the interests of the family, so you cannot come in person, and they have expressed their understanding. ”

"What is it that will be of great help to the interests of the family?" asked Maren with a blank expression.

Philip patted Mullen on the shoulder, with a sly smile on his face: "By tomorrow, you will know." (To be continued......)
