"If it was just an intention, but they actually asked us to fulfill it immediately......"

Thinking back to Gen Zhisheng's request, even a person like Patsy, who rarely has emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but frown deeply.

Helping the Eight Snakes enter the school board of trustees, the requirement itself is not strictly speaking, not too much.

Bargaining is the basis of business negotiations.

This was actually mentioned when the Gattuso family first negotiated with Tachibana Masamune.

Of course, at that time, the Gattuso family just wanted to draw a big pie, and did not really mean to fulfill it.

However, when Yuan Zhisheng made this request this time, his words were very straightforward and sharp, leaving no room for bargaining.

His meaning was obvious, only when the Gattuso family initiated a proposal as the school trustee would the Snake Eight family help the Gattuso family.

The situation has changed, but I didn't expect that even the Eight Snake Qi families would dare to say such hard things to the Gattuso family.

Patcy doesn't have much of a problem with Gen's tough tone, he's not the type to be easily interfered with emotionally.

It's just that a series of conditions put forward by Yuan Zhisheng, including joining the school board, require the Gattuso family to pay immediately.

The implication of this requirement is obvious.

"The Eight Snake Families don't seem to be optimistic that we will survive this hurdle either, although they are willing to give financial assistance, but in practice, it seems that they want to squeeze the last of our value out of our Gattuso family before we fail."

Patcy summed up the mentality of the childish student.

Although the Gattuso family is about to go bankrupt and the orthodox report has been thoroughly investigated, the hundred-legged worm is not stiff, at least for the moment, the Gattuso family is still the top of the secret party, the director of the Kassel Academy, and the power of this family has not been limited in the slightest.

It has the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires.

Yuan Zhisheng obviously wanted to take advantage of the Gattuso family's status as a school manager before the Gattuso family was finished, and let them take the initiative to initiate a proposal to submit the matter of the eight families of Snake Qi joining the school board as a formal topic.

And behind this requirement, it reflects the subconscious thoughts of Yuan Zhisheng.

They also believe that the Gattuso family will be defeated, so they don't want to be allies of the Gattuso family, they just want to exchange the money for the value they want.

As an ally, such an undetermined mind is undoubtedly unqualified.

From a certain point of view, the Eight Snake Families are even the same as the enemy, they are all eyeing the value of the Gattuso family, and want to grab some more benefits before the big ship of the Gattuso family is silent.

"You're right."

Hearing Patsy's words, Frost nodded calmly.

"It's true that the Eight Snake Families don't have a good heart, and they really just want to take the opportunity to blackmail, but isn't this what the so-called allies are like in the first place? It can be called an ally only when it is profitable, and for a huge organization like ours, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. ”

In the past, the Gattuso family would not have looked at such a malevolent ally.

But now it's different, even if it's the Gattuso family, there is no other choice at the moment.

The Eight Families of Snake Qi are obviously the type to wait for a feast, and they are even the best among the allies of the Gattuso family.

After all, the Eight Snake Families did not participate in the attack on the Gattuso family, they just wanted to eat the feast, but the others wanted to kill the Gattuso family and directly share the inheritance.

"What's more, with the current situation, it's normal for the Eight Snake Families to think that we will lose, after all, even I haven't found a chance to reverse the situation, so I can only think about saving the family's fire."

"If the Eight Families of Snakes don't think about this as a benchmark and offer to help us, it will mean that they have a problem."

Frost said very calmly.

Even in an embattled situation, he did not panic to the extent of neglecting his defense.

The conditions offered by the Eight Snake Qi families were so excessive, and they didn't take into account the feelings of the Gattuso family at all, so they almost pointed their noses and said to the Gattuso family that you are going to die anyway, and before you die, cut some meat and pull the brothers.

But this is more in line with his vision.

Western societies are not morally conscious in the face of competition, or that the religious morality they believe in is completely different from the secular morality of the East.

Frost also never counted on mutual assistance between allies, and it was normal for the Snake Eight family to take the opportunity to bite a bite of the Gattuso family, as long as the Gattuso family really needed their assistance, there were no conditions that could not be negotiated.

"You mean, they are asking for something that proves that they can be trusted?"

Patcy asked.

"Nope! This only proves that there is not much doubt about their purpose, and it does not say much more. ”

Frost shook his head, then glanced at the secretary.

"Patsy, don't talk about trust or suspicion. The so-called trust is only a temporary judgment that occurs before the problem is discovered, and the act of doubt is an act that runs through all and cannot be stopped for a moment. Never blindly trust a person, especially an organization. ”

Hearing this, Passy was silent for a few seconds, then nodded after thinking.

"Yes! So what do you mean? ”

"Write back to the Eight Families of Snake Qi to see if they can increase the strength of financial reinforcements and further discuss the value of voting rights."

Frost replied immediately.

"If we get enough assistance, maybe we will be able to keep the energy project in the end...... At that time, even if it is completely bankrupt, it can keep a minimum amount of funds, which can ensure the operation of the family's core plan. ”

Hearing Frost's order, Patsy couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes a little puzzled.

"Didn't you just say you should be suspicious all the time?"

Why do you have to agree to the other party's conditions now?

"Being skeptical doesn't mean not acting."

Frost shook his head.

"We can't wait until all suspicions are cleared before making a decision, it's too time-consuming. Moreover, with the current situation of the Gattuso family, there is no room for picking. ”

Obviously, the last words are the truest reason.

It's not that Frost doesn't know that the Snake Eight Family may not be trustworthy, but this is their last straw, as long as this straw is realistic enough, they don't have time to think about whether this straw is a poisonous snake in disguise.

If he insisted on distinguishing the type of life-saving straw, by the time he judged it clearly, he would have already sunk to the bottom.

"Yes!"

Percy took the order and left.

In the office where there was only one person left, Frost's eyes were locked on the Far East island countries on the map, and he refused to relax for a long time.

"Family...... Or is it a plan? ”

·

The communication between Patsy and Gen Zhisheng lasted for more than half an hour.

The two sides had a sincere exchange of views and reached very useful talks.

"That is, they refuse to make any concessions and demand that we strictly follow the conditions?"

Frost frowned slightly after listening to Patsy's words.

"Yes."

Patsy nodded.

"They insisted that we submit a proposal to the school board first, and they asked us to vote for it at the meeting, and they refused to invest more money."

I want the horses to run, and I want the horses not to eat grass, and the eating appearance of the Eight Snakes is too ugly.

Hearing this, Frost thought for two seconds, then looked at Patcy with a majestic look.

"Promise them!"

"Y-huh?!"

Patcy nodded subconsciously before reacting.

Faced with such excessive conditions, Frost actually chose to agree? It doesn't quite fit his temper.

Seeing his expression, Frost sneered.

"Agree to all their conditions and immediately submit a proposal to invite the Eight Families of Snake to join the school board...... As for whether we voted for it on the day of the meeting, we will wait until then. ”

It was clear that he wanted to break the contract.

In other respects, the Eight Snake Families demanded that they pay immediately, which was no problem, but the matter of voting involved the process of the secret party, and even the Gattuso family could not interfere.

He can say yes now, but as for what to do when the time comes, it depends on whether the Eight Snake Qi families understand or not.

Since the Eight Snake Qi families had betrayed the covenant once, there was no need for their Gattuso family to pretend to be good people.

Hearing what Frost meant, Patcy hesitated.

"If you miss the appointment like this, won't you worry about the revenge of the Eight Snake Families when the time comes?"

Even with the size of the Gattuso family's current core industry after it was damaged, it was not an opponent that the Eight Snake Families could defeat, they only needed the cash flow of the Eight Snake Families.

But if the Gattuso family goes bankrupt by then, the Eight Snake Qi families may not be able to pose a threat.

Breaking the contract is also necessary to have strength as a confidence, and in the future, the revenge of the eight families of Snake Qi cannot be ignored as much as now.

"It doesn't matter."

Frost shook his head.

"The reason for agreeing to the conditions of the Eight Snakes is so that the family can keep a little property and tide over the current difficulties, as for the school board...... We will never allow the Eight Families to join the Board of Trustees, and there is no room for compromise on this point, you understand? ”

Frost and Patcy looked at each other, their eyes revealing an absolutely uncompromising will.

“…… Be! ”

Seeing this, Patcy immediately nodded.

He had already guessed that the reason why Frost said this must be because of the plan that the family was secretly working on.

If the Eight Snakes were to join the school board, it would disrupt this plan, which is why Frost was so determined.

Realizing this, Patcy hesitated for a moment, but finally voiced his doubts.

"Mr. Frost, if it is for the sake of the plan, wouldn't it be the safest outcome to directly reject the conditions of the Eight Families of Snake Qi and refuse to submit this proposal?"

"Once the proposal is submitted, we have no control over the final outcome."

Patsy admonished earnestly.

Even if Frost himself vetoed his own proposal, there was no guarantee that the proposal would be ultimately rejected, and there were other people with the right to vote!

Hearing Patsy's words, Frost shook his head.

"If you refuse the conditions of the Eight Snake Families, it will be difficult for the family to continue to maintain its current organizational structure after the family goes bankrupt."

“……”

Patsy was silent.

He understood Frost's predicament.

If you don't agree to the conditions of the Eight Families of Snakes, you will not be able to save the family, and if you completely agree to the conditions of the Eight Families of Snakes, you will not be able to keep the plan.

The family and the plan are placed at opposite ends of the scale, and whatever one is chosen, the other must be put down.

That's why Frost wanted to take the risk, and while submitting a proposal, he planned to refuse to agree to his own proposal.

"Even if they submit a proposal, the school board members are very wary of them in the previous way of doing things, and it is impossible to really share the position of school manager with them...... How can other families spend so much effort and financial resources to get a position that can be easily given to others? ”

Frost sneered and said.

He was confident enough to control the outcome of the vote, otherwise he would not have chosen to agree to the proposal of the Eight Snakes.

If you want to join the secret party, you must not only stand up to inspection, but also bring enough benefits to the secret party.

How can He De, the eight families of Snake Qi, become the school director of the secret party? Just because they're of White King blood? But are they willing to expose this secret?

Thinking so, Frost confidently clenched his hands into fists.

"I want all the family and the plan!"

Knowing that Frost had made this decision knowing all the risks, Patsy said no more and immediately began to carry out the order.

Soon, in the name of the head of the Gattuso family, he drafted a proposal for the Eight Snakes to join the school board, and Frost signed it with the authority of the head of the family and officially submitted it to Norma.

After a "ding", the proposal was formally presented to all school board members.

The fixed process stored by Norma was opened, and at this moment, even if the Gattuso family wanted to repent, they could not withdraw the proposal.

According to the agreement, after submitting the proposal, Frost immediately instructed Patsy to put the 10 billion deposit paid by the Snake Eight Family into the Gattuso family's disposal, and continued to instruct.

"Let the Eight Snake Qi families call the final payment, and let them fulfill the covenant and continue to fully cooperate with our counterattack!"

Looking at the curves on the computer screen, Frost was rarely in high spirits.

"It's not enough to turn the tide, but with this funding, even if we go bankrupt, we can at least keep the family running and keep the plan running smoothly!"

He had already planned for the funds of the Eight Snake Families.

These funds are not enough to change the situation, but they are enough to build the last bastion of security.

At that time, the Gattuso family will drop several tiers, but they will still be able to keep the basic plan running, and this will be enough for him.

"Yes!"

Patsy immediately relayed Frost's request.

The honorarium paid by the Eight Families was guaranteed by the neutral side, and they were not worried that the Eight Families would lose their word.

As for the so-called full cooperation, there is nothing that can effectively restrain this thing.

No matter what, it is impossible for the Eight Snake Families to hand over the funds to them.

However, as long as they still have the right to vote on the proposal, they don't have to worry that the Eight Snakes will be treacherous at this time.

They don't overestimate the discipline of the Eight Snake Clans, just like they themselves don't intend to fulfill their voting promises, they know that the Eight Snake Families will betray if they have the chance, but it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that betrayal at this time is definitely not in the interests of the Eight Snake Families, as long as they are not stupid, the Eight Snake Families will not betray again before the Gattuso family votes.

Frost is confident in this.

And it turned out exactly as he expected.

The Eight Families of Snake Qi quickly responded to him very positively, saying that they had prepared the funds and were about to fight a big battle, and reminded them not to forget about the vote.

Under the remote command of the professionals of the Gattuso family, the funds of the eight families of the snake were quickly invested in energy projects, and other financial predators started to strangle, and the funds of the Gattuso family also entered, and gradually began to eat away at those attacking funds.

The addition of the new force caught the consortium off guard.

Some of the funds led by the Black and Gold Swan actually began to turn around to help the Gattuso family to snipe at other consortia.

This kind of behavior is not uncommon in the financial field, and even bears don't mind occasionally going long in the short term to make a small profit.

However, seeing that the Gattuso family was about to make a comeback, and before the market was about to close, there was a signal of uneasiness from professional traders.

"The contact with the Eight Snakes is broken?"

When she got the news, Patsy was shocked.

Although the Eight Snake Qi families are not as good as the Gattuso family, they are also behemoths among the half-breeds, and an organization of this level will actually drop the chain at the most critical moment, you should have played with the family!

He immediately called to inquire, and the number that had been able to be reached before had been unanswered.

Patcy immediately tried all sorts of other ways to get in touch, and after trying everything, he finally came to a conclusion.

He's blocked!

To be precise, the entire Gattuso family's correspondence has been blocked.

Even if you borrow another way to communicate, you will only be answered by the artificial intelligence Kaguya in the end, and the Snake Qi Hachiya refuses to respond completely.

Soon, Frost got the news.

Looking at the sharp turn on the computer, the acting head of the house, who had just said "I want it all", fell directly on the office chair with a pale face.

Obviously, the Snake Qi Eight Family has betrayed again!

They were put together, and the Eight Snake Families were actually in the same group as the Black and Golden Swans.

At the last moment, the funds of the Black Golden Swan and the funds of the Eight Snakes suddenly merged!

In order to build the last bastion, the Gattuso family invested most of the remaining funds, which are now being lost in billions of units every minute.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the losses of the Gattuso family amounted to hundreds of billions, and this was only the beginning.

The betrayal of the Eight Clan's funds brought not only direct losses, but also sent a clear signal to the outside world that the last ally of the Gattuso family had officially betrayed them and joined the hunt for the Gattuso family.

This clear signal almost marked the decline of the Gattuso family, even the funds that were not allowed to be mixed in before, and even retail investors who did not know the situation, were attracted one after another.

Under this huge wave, no matter how behemoth is, it can only be dismembered, and the financial edifice of the Gattuso family completely collapses at this moment.

Originally, the Gattuso family could survive for half a month, but at this moment, everything was gone.

Whether it was the fortress that was planned to be built, or the opportunity to save the situation, it was all gone.

"How is that possible?! How dare they? We haven't officially voted yet! ”

Realizing that he had made a mistake in his decision, Frost went straight out of shape and let out a rare roar.

He couldn't figure out why the Eight Snake Families betrayed, could it be that they wanted to join the school board of trustees was fake? Aren't they worried that they will vote against it?

He slammed his fist into the tabletop, and in his rage, he actually smashed the mahogany tabletop, and the wooden thorns blew blood on the palm of his hand, but he didn't realize it, and his eyes burned bright gold.

Unfortunately, this incompetent rage will not help after all, and personal bravery cannot interfere with the outcome in the financial arena.

Now that the situation is settled, there is no room for recovery.

Realizing this, Frost slumped into his office chair.

His gaze swept over the names of the forces that had encroached on the Gattuso family, and he paused for a moment on the name of the Black and Gold Swan—the most opportune time and the most profitable force this time.

Finally, he looked at the list of many forces in front of him, an organization that originally belonged to allies.

Half an hour later, Frost gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.

"Yuan Zhisheng, I remember you!"

The next day, the Gattuso family, the emperor and the top wealthy family of the mixed-race society, officially declared bankruptcy.
