On the morning of the bankruptcy of the Gattuso family, the Gattuso family had not yet filed for bankruptcy protection, and they were cleaning up their remaining assets, intending to cash out enough cash to ensure their basic life after bankruptcy before all funds were frozen.

For the average entrepreneur, bankruptcy may be a huge piece of bad news worth jumping off a building.

But for the Gattuso family, bankruptcy does not mean that the family is completely torn apart.

Friends made around money are bound to dissolve, but families built around blood are much tougher than ordinary people think.

Of course, there may be many family members who are unwilling to be dragged down by the family and may leave.

But the core members cannot, and will not leave.

The Gattuso family is actually a military system, and if people within the family want to secede, the price they will pay will not be small.

Of course, complete bankruptcy and complete lack of money are also a huge, almost fatal blow to the Gattuso family.

Now the Gattuso family can only shrink like hibernation, store all resources, and minimize consumption.

It wasn't until the next turning point that they were able to act again.

Before that, they had only one goal - to survive, to survive against all odds.

"Mr. Frost, there's one thing that needs your decision."

In the busy courtyard, Frost held his cane and watched the museums and collectors come and go in and out of the Gattuso family, which has now become a popular place again, but Frost is not happy, because these people are not here to socialize but to collect antiques and artworks, because of the large amount, a large part of them are second-class dealers.

Pompeii's collection has long been sold almost, and now it is the family's property that is sold, although the Gattuso family is a nouveau riche, but it is often the nouveau riche who likes to buy a large number of luxury goods and works of art to decorate the façade, Pompeii is certainly the owner of the most collectible, but there are not a few people who like to collect in the past generations, and the accumulation is not a small number.

Since it is to prepare for hibernation, these luxurious and useless things should naturally be exchanged for tangible benefits, anyway, the Gattuso family is about to go bankrupt completely, and there is no need to have any interests with other forces, and there is no need to use these things to decorate the façade.

The prosperity of the Gattuso family was cut off in his own hands, and now the scene of selling his property made Frost feel pain in his eyes.

He belongs to the type who puts the honor of the family above his own life, and the reason why he became the acting head of the family is more for the sense of responsibility and honor, rather than for the power of the head of the family.

Now seeing the family class fall, directly to the center of the earth, Frost is more sad than anyone else.

As a half-breed, his body is extremely strong, and he can even burst the mahogany table with one punch, but at this moment, watching the honor and assets accumulated by the Gattuso family being transported out little by little, if it were not for the support of a cane, he would almost fall.

At this moment, Patsy, who was in charge of selling the property and making statistics, arrived, helped Frost in time, and asked him for questions.

"What's the matter?"

Frost asked in a slightly hoarse voice as he looked at Patsy.

Noticing Frost's face at the moment, Patsy suddenly showed a shocked expression.

Frost has always been a man who pays attention to appearance, and many times even puts elegance above profit, always trying to get rid of negative titles such as nouveau riche, and make the Gattuso family look like an old half-breed family.

But now, his face seemed to have suddenly aged a year or twenty overnight, not only with many more wrinkles, but also with bloodshot eyes that had been calm and wise.

He was not attacked, but simply because the huge blow to his mentality was reflected in his body.

As the acting head of the family, Frost was originally very ambitious, and he always wanted to promote the Gattuso family from the nouveau riche to the real emperor, but now the Gattuso family can't even keep the name of the nouveau riche in his hands.

Although from a certain point of view, it is true that he has thrown off the hat of the nouveau riche, but the way is not satisfactory.

After the astonishment, Percy sensed his disrespect, immediately lowered his head, and continued to report.

"Someone wanted to pay for a piece of land for the family on the outskirts of Rome, and the price wasn't too low."

Frost didn't care about Patsy's expression either, and after hearing what he had reported, he frowned and asked.

"Is this the case for me to deal with? I'm not saying that as long as it's not a necessary asset, you can sell it as long as the price is right. ”

Now that the Gattuso family is struggling to survive, there is no need to leave any redundant assets behind.

The money from the sale of these assets is deposited in other accounts and will not be liquidated by bankruptcy.

Hearing Frost say this, Patcy hesitated for a moment and reminded.

"But, Mr. Frost, the only piece of our family has left on the outskirts of Rome is the Panthéon."

If it was Frost in the past, he wouldn't need to explain it so clearly, but at this moment Patcy felt that he needed to explain it clearly.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Frost was immediately stunned.

The Panthéon, which is the abode of the elders, is the site of a temple converted into the ancestral shrine of the Gattuso family.

Although it is not the same concept as the ancestral tomb, if this thing is sold, it proves that the Gattuso family has indeed reached the point of exhaustion.

"That is the most important position of our Gattuso family, and it is also the residence that the elders have not changed for hundreds of years, how can it be easily sold!"

Sure enough, as Patcy expected, Frost was very excited when he heard the news and immediately refused.

"Good! Then I'm going to turn down the buyer! ”

Patcy immediately nodded in agreement.

However, before he could speak, Frost grabbed him.

"Refusal, who told you to refuse?"

Looking into Frost's eyes, Patcy was a little confused.

Didn't you say you wanted to refuse?

"And what do you mean ......?"

He asked tentatively.

"It is the ancestral land of the Gattuso family, which was once the remains of an ancient Roman temple, and has been restored by our Gattuso family for generations, and has become an extremely valuable cultural relic."

Frost spoke in a hurried tone explaining the advantages of the Panthéon.

In the end, all the advantages come together in one sentence.

"Gotta add money!"

It dawned on Patsy that what Frost said about not being able to sell easily, in fact, meant that the price should be raised.

He didn't hear this meaning just now, and he couldn't help but feel that his secretarial cultivation was insufficient.

After a moment of reflection, he wondered.

"If the Panthéon is also sold, what will the elders do?"

"Let's move to the basement!"

Frost shook his head.

"Where the elders are, there is the ancestral shrine of our Gattuso family, as long as we maintain respect in our hearts."

After saying that, he added in a whisper.

"If it continues to be in the Panthéon, the maintenance cost will be too high."

The Panthéon itself is a cultural relic, so it needs to be repaired every year, which is not a low cost.

Anyway, the elders are lying in the coffin, and since they are lying everywhere, why not lie in the basement? This one saves a lot of money.

Patsy nodded, fully understanding what Frost meant.

However, he did not leave immediately, but continued to speak.

"By the way, Mr. Frost, I have another matter to ask for."

"What's the matter?"

"The family's fleet needs to be paid regularly for maintenance, and the person in charge is asking me about the contract renewal."

Patcy bowed his head slightly, his elongated bangs covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Fleet maintenance?"

Hearing Patsy's words, Frost frowned deeply.

"How can there be such a thing in the family, didn't I say it before, all entertainment assets are sold."

Now that the Gattuso family is short of money, all the funds have to be spent on the tip of the knife, and their living standards have to be reduced to a minimum, how can they have spare money to spend on maintaining the fleet?

"But you also said before that the young master's team is not on the list for sale......"

Patsy said in an embarrassed tone.

"Caesar?!"

Frost opened his mouth slightly, and then remembered that he had indeed said this.

Caesar is the long-awaited heir of the family, the emperor of the Mandate of Heaven, and in order to save the family's weight in his heart, Frost is not willing to do anything that makes him unhappy.

These days, although the Gattuso family is in a state of turmoil and is on the verge of bankruptcy, he has never had any restrictions on Caesar's spending, which can be said to be very conniving.

Even now, he didn't want to sell Caesar's toys, which would undoubtedly affect the relationship between the two parties.

But after a slight silence, he shook his head.

"The family is facing such a crisis, Caesar should also grow up, add his toys to the list for sale, now is the time for the family to survive, if you continue to indulge Caesar, the family will also be alienated."

Although he loved Caesar, he loved the Gattuso family even more, and when the two were on the scales, he did not hesitate to make a choice.

"Yes!"

Patsy immediately responded.

But there was some sigh in my heart.

Even now, Frost's mind was to continue to indulge Caesar.

If it weren't for the fact that continuing to give Caesar super high treatment would make the family unbalanced and increase the danger of family splitting, I'm afraid Frost would still be willing to continue to support Caesar.

Caesar's salary is really too high, even higher than Pompeii, the head of a decent family.

You know, after the disappearance of the head of the Pompeii family, the family still has little energy to search for him on a large scale!

Just as Percy was getting ordered to leave.

Frost suddenly stopped him.

"Wait! Patsy, after these convoys were sold, do Caesars still have cars? No matter how difficult the conditions are, it won't leave him without a scooter. ”

After making the decision to confiscate the convoy, Frost thought about it and immediately began to care.

Although the Gattuso family is down, no matter how poor they are, they can't be poor Caesar, and no matter how bitter they are, they can't be poor Caesar.

At least leave him a car to get around.

Hearing his question, Patsy paused slightly, and said with a complicated expression.

"There's also a Bugatti Veyron over there."

This was Pompeii's birthday gift to Caesar, and although Caesar didn't like it, Pompeii sent it directly to the school and kept it there.

"Bugatti Veyron...... Forget it, it can barely be used. ”

Frost frowned slightly, subconsciously feeling that this kind of sports car driven by a playboy was not suitable for the style of the Gattuso family, but he quickly reacted that the Gattuso family had no style, so he could only acquiesce.

Even if he is so down, a million-euro car is still barely usable in his eyes.

Hearing Frost say this, Patsy pondered for a few seconds and then asked.

"Do you want to tell the young master about the family's side? The young master will hand over a new bill every week, although it is still affordable at the moment, but if it is like this for a long time......"

With the family business of the Gattuso family, Caesar could not spend it no matter how defeated he was.

But after bankruptcy, it was a bit of a struggle to continue to bear the costs of Caesar's various openings.

Although it is not completely unaffordable, it would sacrifice the reliability of the family and the plan, and it would also make the rest of the family have opinions, and the side effects would be too great.

Hearing Patcy say this, Frost hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Tell Caesar directly about the family later! At this point, it is impossible for Caesar to be completely unaware of the family's situation, but there is no need to let him be distressed by this, and tell Caesar to let him study hard. ”

"As for Caesar's expenses, the family can only provide him with fixed living expenses in the future, and the excess money can no longer be provided, so let him save some money and stop talking."

After saying that, Frost added.

"Until then, remember to clear all Caesar's bills, he is still a child, and he shouldn't be under too much pressure."
