Chapter fifty-three, it's a sad story. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"No!" Yi Xiaotian said calmly.

Still not convinced, Lewis pressed again, "Are you convinced?"

Yi Xiaotian nodded slowly.

"Remember, Arthur, this thing will rot in your stomach forever, and if you dare to say half a word, I swear you will regret coming into this world alive. Lewis said viciously.

With a turn of his head, Lewis walked to the private jet's toilet, pulled out a satellite phone from his arms, and dialed a number.

"Hey, is Mr. DuPont here?"

As one of the world-renowned umbrella companies actually controlled, the largest arms trader in the Rand Federation, and the chairman of the board of directors of Citibank, the largest bank in the Rand Federation, except for a few families, there is no family in the world that can compare with the power of the DuPont family.

But despite this, some things will still be affected by some uncertain factors.

Let's take this as Lewis is going to say.

A slightly stiff old male voice came over. Lewis knew that this was the DuPont family's butler, Kanter. A loyal and dedicated steward who has served the DuPont family for three generations.

"Lewis, do you know what time it is, Mr. Dupont just fell asleep, you know?"

"Of course I know, it's three o'clock in the night, but I'm going to ......" Lewis was coldly interrupted by Kanter, the housekeeper of the DuPont family, before he finished speaking: "I don't care what you want to say, but I care about Mr. Dupont's physical condition, according to the doctor's advice, this is definitely not a good time to wake up Mr. Dupont." ”

"But ......," Lewis wanted to explain.

Although the Dupont family is a Rand federation and even a family with significant influence in the world, every family will encounter a very fatal problem, that is, how to choose an heir.

Counting from the old Mr. DuPont, there are a total of six direct four men and two women in the direct line of the DuPont family in this generation, among which according to the inheritance regulations of the DuPont family, men have the opportunity to inherit the DuPont family. In other words, there are four people in this generation who have the opportunity to take over the lintel of this century-old family and become the patriarch of the most influential family in the world.

Generally speaking, before the time of family inheritance, the older generation is worried about their own family, and there is no task that can inherit the prestige of the family, but this has changed in the DuPont generation, and a total of four people in this generation have the ability to inherit this family that has been inherited for a hundred years.

If other families encounter this situation, I'm afraid they will wake up laughing in their dreams!

But, again, the situation is different in the DuPont family. As a family that can be passed down for a hundred years, has significant influence in the face of the rand, and even in the world, there is a natural reason for their existence.

For example, Confucius's family, after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Shang, King Zhou Cheng divided the cousin of the King of Shang, and Huizi Qi was in the Song Dynasty.

Soon after Hui Ziqi died, his younger brother Hui Zhong ascended the throne, and the descendants of the Confucius family began to count, to this day there are nearly 79 generations, and the history of the entire family is more than 3,000 years.

Oh my God, this family is simply a living history.

Of course, the Confucian family is a family heirloom of poetry and books, which is different from the DuPont family, which has become a merchant and started from the arms trade. There is a very strange rule in the DuPont family.

That is, each generation of children with the right to inherit the family will receive one million federal coins from the family as the starting capital, and whoever creates the value after ten years, or so to speak, who earns the most money during these ten years will be the patriarch of this century-old family. Whoever can control this huge family, or a business empire, that has a say in the federation and even in the world.

He was the only one in the direct line of the old DuPont's generation, although he also earned his first pot of gold with one million from his family, but his pressure was much easier than his own children.

So it's not always a good thing to get the inheritance of a family that has been inherited for a hundred years and has significant influence in the world.

There is a way that if you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow.

The fact that the elder DuPont got the inheritance of the DuPont family so easily may be a good thing for him, but for the family, it is not easy to say.

There was a philosopher in ancient times who said that a sheep leading a circle of lions can never beat a lion leading a flock of sheep.

Since a sheep can lead a group of lions, it is true that he has his own ability, but no matter how powerful the sheep is, he can't compare to the bloodthirsty lion.

Because the nature of a sheep is to eat grass, and the nature of a lion is to eat meat, that is, to be bloodthirsty.

The old DuPont joined the century-old family without the pressure of net increase, but due to the character of the old DuPont, the DuPont family lost the interests that should have belonged to them and the honor that should have belonged to them in many ways.

For example, Lewis was desperate to tell Mr. DuPont Sr. about the loss of top-secret data in the Umbrella Laboratory.

It's a pity that people don't answer his calls.

"Hehe!" Hearing this voice on the phone, Lewis laughed angrily, "I thought, no wonder, an enterprise that has existed in the arms industry for a hundred years has fallen back to this point." ”

But think about it, what should be done still has to be done, there is a way that the person has money, doing things for people, it is a matter of credibility, as an excellent public official, this kind of professionalism, Lewis still has.

Thinking back to the four heirs of the Dupont family who were bent on rebuilding the glory of the family, Lewis's eyes finally stopped on the eldest prince Allen, Dupont, and the third son, Quentin, and Dupont.

Allen, DuPont, Yale graduated, was accepted into Yale's Brotherhood of Skulls in his junior year, became one of them, and has strong social skills.

Quentin, DuPont, a student at Harvard University, but dropped out of school in his sophomore year because life at school was too boring, and the DuPont family was a famous playboy of his generation. But he has a keen eye, in business speculation, he is good at using the least amount of money to obtain the maximum profit, and he likes to gamble in the stock market, but he can win every time.

Lewis weighed the two carefully. Alan DuPont can be very difficult to deal with, the teenager is proud, mixed in the elite class, it is certain that he has arrogance, this kind of person has a strong desire to control. And Quentin DuPont, the famous playboy of the DuPont family, is more like a gambler with a flamboyant personality.

Lewis is very aware of his role, he is just a handful, but he doesn't want to put himself in it

In the end, he decided to call the second son, Quentin, and DuPont, who were in charge of daily security work in the umbrella company.
