Chapter 1073 Steward?

"By the way, are the previous No. 1 and No. 2 still alive?" Yang Cheng swallowed unconsciously and asked.

Yang Sen shook his head, "I don't know, but the rules of the 13 club are that someone must die or lose the ability to think actively before recommending successors to join the club, so even if they are still alive, they have already lost the ability to think. It makes no difference."

Yang Cheng was stunned. Only after death can he enter the club? So what's the situation now?

As if he had guessed Yang Cheng's question, he shook his head and explained, "This time the successor was called in advance, presumably to avoid the accident in the past, when two members died suddenly, because the death was too sudden, they have not yet There is no time to select successors, or their successors cannot automatically join the club without being recommended and inspected.

So it was very embarrassing at the time. Without a successor, it meant that there were vacancies for members, and the 13 Club was incomplete, but it was impossible to just find someone to make up for it. So after a joint discussion among the members, it was decided to hand over the recommendation right to everyone. Candidates then went through an upgrade test, and finally found two replacement new members to join. "

Yang Cheng couldn't help asking, "Is this how you joined the club?"

Yang Sen took a sip of his wine and nodded, "That's right, it was my teacher who recommended me to come in."

Yang Cheng was shocked, "Teacher? Is a teacher qualified to join such an awesome club?"

Yang Sen laughed, "Don't underestimate my teacher, he is the heir of a nuclear family in the Boston consortium, but his hobby is teaching and educating people, so he is also working as a tutor while inheriting the family business."

"My God, your teacher is so great, so is he still there?" Yang Cheng said with emotion.

"It's long gone. Not long after I joined the club, he passed away due to illness, and the vacant position was replaced by a descendant recommended by him, which is now No. 13."

Yang Cheng was stunned. The 13 clubs were almost connected in a single line. They didn't know each other, and kept secret to the greatest extent. If it wasn't recommended by the predecessor, who would know the existence of 13?

"So this time, in order to avoid the embarrassment of the past, we brought in the successor in advance. If he successfully passes the test, he will automatically take over in the future?"

"That's right. I guess it's because one or several members are dying, so I came up with this plan temporarily." Yang Sen touched his chin and said.

Yang Cheng sighed, "What's the matter with that test? Is it difficult?"

Yang Sen tilted his head and smiled, "Are you scared?"

Yang Cheng's neck twitched, "Just kidding, I don't think there is any test that I can't afford, why can't we give each of us a gun to go around the battlefield?"

Yang Sen said playfully, "That's not good, don't say it too early, and be careful of retribution."

Yang Cheng curled her lips and asked instead, "Then what test did you accept back then?"

A flash of memory flashed in Yang Sen's eyes, "Because the core members were directly selected instead of successors, the difficulty of the test was naturally the highest in history. I still remember that there were 7 people who participated in the test with me."

Yang Cheng quickly interrupted, "Wait, two of the two died unexpectedly, shouldn't there be 11 other members who recommended it?"

"Yes, but it is said that 4 of them were passed without even passing the initial review. I don't know what the review standards they formulated at that time, but it was definitely not simple. You must know that I had just taken over the Yuanshan Group at that time. For a long time, the prototype of Yuanshan Capital has not yet appeared, but it is among the best real estate companies in the United States.

But not long after the test started, many enemies appeared at the same time. At first I didn’t think much about it, I just thought that I would be retaliated wildly for touching someone’s cheese, but later I found that although these enemies were fierce, they were not fatal No, no, no, maybe my counterattack was too hard, which scared them so much that they didn’t dare to fight with me. Anyway, after nearly a year of confrontation with my peers in a daze, my teacher notified me that the test was over, congratulations on passing passed the test. "

Yang Cheng was a little emotional when he heard it, MD, this test is too novel, like the Eighteen Bronze Men of Shaolin Temple, if you want to pass the level, you have to knock down all the bronze men.

But this game is too ruthless, Yang Cheng can imagine how fierce the battle was back then, with endless enemies chasing and intercepting you, if it wasn't for his father's too strong ability, he might have been played to death long ago. If you can't join the 13 club, I'm afraid you won't even be able to keep your own property in the end.

Thinking of this, Yang Cheng immediately lowered his face, "These bastards are not going to attack the new era group of the young master, are they?"

Yang Sen saw that his son's expression was not very good, so he sneered very darkly, "Don't worry, the same test will not be played a second time, and the time for you successors to take over is too early. If the core members here will do their best To deal with you, let alone you, I may not be able to resist.

After all, the purpose of selecting successors is to make the 13 Club more powerful, not to kill candidates like you, otherwise the 13 Club formed by a group of remnants will lose its power. "

Yang Cheng was relieved when he heard the words, but at the same time he felt a little upset, looking down on the young master?

It has to be said that people are cheap, they don't want to take it for free, and it's too expensive to take money, so it's not appropriate at all.

"Okay, just wait. After everyone talks about it, it's time to discuss and test your successors. You have to be careful, these guys are very thieves."

Yang Sen wanted to close his eyes and rest after reminding him, but how could Yang Cheng let him go, and continued to ask, "Wait, I still don't understand. Dad, you are also a core member, why don't you participate in making rules? Or test process?"

Embarrassed by Yang Cheng's question, Yang Sen scratched his head, "I almost forgot to mention that in addition to our 13 core members, the 13 Club also has a butler who is responsible for daily contact and notification. Organize member gatherings when necessary. Of course, he is also responsible for formulating assessment procedures and selecting core members for the club. to pass.

In other words, the existence of the butler is to continue and prove the existence of the 13 Club, and the two complement each other and rely on each other.

On top of that, he was probably the only person at the club who knew all of our identities. "

Yang Cheng was puzzled, "Isn't this butler's power amazing?"

Yang Sen waved his hand, "On the contrary, the steward has no power, his orders have no constraints on us, and he doesn't even have money to achieve any purpose, because his salary is paid by our core members, and each of us will hand in the salary every year. Give the steward US$100,000, and this US$1.3 million per year is equivalent to the salary of the steward and his team, and at the same time, he also has to take on the important task of maintaining the club’s headquarters around the world, so there is not much money that actually goes to the steward.”

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding. The rules of Club 13 were designed very reasonably. At least he couldn't find any faults.

"So how many headquarters does the club have?"

Yang Sen held up three fingers, "There are three on the surface, London, Los Angeles, and Singapore. If something goes wrong with these three headquarters, there is a backup headquarters. Only the housekeeper knows where the three headquarters are, and only when the three headquarters are destroyed at the same time. Only then will the backup headquarters be activated."

I don't know what's going on, but the 13 club is worthy of its name, and it's full of style.

But Yang Cheng still couldn't help complaining, "Speaking of which, your headquarters is too shabby, not even as good as a top club."

Yang Sen slapped Yang Cheng angrily, "We don't live here, why do we build such a luxurious building? The three headquarters are used in turn, that is to say, they only come once every 9 years. They are so luxurious and usually there is no one there. Isn't it the initiative to send out doubts?"

Yang Cheng doesn't take it seriously, it's just once in 9 years that people tend to be suspicious, okay?

But he didn't dare to talk back, mainly because the venue became quiet again. This time the red light didn't turn on after a long time, which meant that the business matters had been discussed.

Sure enough, this time the spotlight has changed, the lamppost shifted, and an old man in black all over slowly stepped onto the stage. He wore a mask and could not see his face clearly. He wore a tall hat with the words 13 embroidered with gold thread on it. It looks like a sculpted figure.

"This is the butler?" Yang Cheng stared at the figure on the stage without turning his head and asked.

Yang Sen hummed, "He is the housekeeper. No one knows what his name is, what he looks like, how old he is, and how many years he has worked in the club. He is like the shadow of the club. When he is in the club, he is dead. "

After saying that, a touch of respect appeared on Yang Sen's face, which was respect for an old man who was loyal to the club.

The butler spoke. Although he was not holding a microphone, his voice came out very clearly from the speaker, "Everyone, please be safe. It's been three years, and everyone is still the same."

The voice is slow and old, and the subtle vibrato sounds a bit like dying.

"This year's gathering is slightly different from previous years, because there are 13 more outstanding young people. They are the successors carefully selected by the members. They will also take over your positions in the future and become one of the owners of the 13 Club. On behalf of 13 Welcome to the club, and I hope that in the near future, I can personally say something to you, welcome to the 13 club!"

The butler's opening remarks were similar to those of No. 1, but his words were more emotional and gave people a sense of home. Others didn't know what to think, but at least Yang Cheng sounded warm in his heart.

"According to the regulations, if you want to become an official successor, you must accept a test. I believe the recommenders have reminded you, but I still want to emphasize that this test is only for you personally. Don't think about cheating or With the help of referees, once discovered, both the successor and the referrer will be hit by the club with all their might, without mercy."
