Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Seventh: The Daring
Inside a castle estate in London, England.
Alexander sat in the study, looking at the materials at hand, his face was not very good.
The 'suicide' man, Ed, was a senior bank executive who had been involved in making investment plans. It stands to reason that he only has a part of the plan in his hands, but the fact is that the complete investment plan burst out of his hands.
There is a problem here.
And there is no direct evidence that Ed has any suicidal tendencies.
The family is complete and healthy, and the people who follow him are even less likely to be short of money and have no psychological problems.
But he just committed suicide.
As for whether the information was leaked, he committed suicide because of fear of crime, or after homicide, the murderer leaked the information. Even he didn't know the answer. Find the best case-solving expert, and the final conclusion is suicide.
It was not long before he took over the banking group, and now there is such a big mistake, which is a very serious matter.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Although their ancestors’ teachings prevent them from fighting within each other, but in a family like theirs, this kind of thing is unavoidable.
Banking and financial business is the main business of their family.
Profits from the winery business, the jewelry business and the art business will eventually be returned to the banking group for investment. Therefore, in charge of the banking business, he controls more than half of Roche.
Who wants more power in their hands?
There are many people staring at his position, the winery business, the heir in charge of the Lafite winery business, his cousin Saskia; the heir in charge of the diamond business, his cousin James; and the art business. other cousins and some uncles.
His cousins are no weaker than them.
Cousin Saskia is the first female head of their family's winery business. The family motto is passed down to women rather than men. Although it exists in name only, there is a tendency to choose an heir. Saskia's ability to become the first female head can be imagined.
His younger brother James and his wife are the daughters of the Hilton family in the United States. The two married. If he first became the head of the banking group, the connections and support behind him can be imagined.
If this matter is not handled well, the family will doubt his ability, and his situation will be even more difficult.
Just as he was thinking about how to go next, an old butler with gray hair, a tuxedo, and white gloves walked into the study with a document and gently placed the document in front of Alexander.
"Master, this is the latest information you need. I checked Ed's situation carefully. During this period of time, he did not have any contact with any suspicious persons, his behavior was normal, and there was no abnormality in the call records. There is no indication that he Suicide."
"Well." Alexander nodded and took the information. He was not surprised by the old housekeeper's words. He had expected this result.
Now he faces another dilemma.
After the last acquisition of a stake in a telco, there is not much money to move now.
Although the Army Ant Company agreed to cooperate in the mobile phone business, it refused to take a stake in the telecom operation.
If the investment plan is not leaked, they can carry out the investment business normally, but now they are being watched, and many investments have been aborted or have to be postponed.
"What's going on in the family?" Alexander asked.
"I haven't seen much movement, but there is quite a lot of movement outside. There is a rumor outside that if you don't handle this incident well, the family may change people to manage the bank.
Some elderly people in the family were very dissatisfied with this incident. They are under pressure from your father, and they dare not go too far for the time being. But you need to deal with this matter well, it is best to make some achievements during this time to convince them, otherwise it may be a little troublesome. Many people in the family are against the cooperation with the army ants. ' said the old butler.
"What did father say?"
"Master didn't say anything about the cooperation between you and the army ants. He didn't expressly agree, and he didn't open his mouth to oppose it. He didn't say anything about the leak of the investment plan." The old housekeeper said.
"Yeah." Alexander responded and was silent.
Seeing Alexander's appearance, the old butler couldn't make up his mind.
For their family, in their thirties and in charge of the family's main investment bank, Alexander is still a bit young. However, Alexander's father used his influence to suppress some of the dissatisfaction in the family, which allowed Alexander to ascend to the throne smoothly.
After hesitating for a while, the old butler still chose to speak.
The age gap between the two is too big. He is considered an antique from the last era, and many opinions can only be provided for Alexander's reference.
"There is a lot of trouble in the family now, and part of it is caused by the cooperation with the army ants. For example, the Altice Group and Orange on the bright side, as well as Apple, Pioneer Group, etc."
Alexander listened quietly, motioning him to continue.
"If the cooperation with the army ants can be publicly terminated, the pressure from outside the family may not be so great." The old housekeeper said cautiously.
Knowing the situation, there are a few companies suppressing them, and there are some capital that is ready to make a move. If it's not handled well, he's really in trouble.
And because of the opponents that the marching ants recruited, none of them were vegetarians.
"There is no need to talk about this matter. The cooperation with the army ants will not be interrupted, but will only deepen." Alexander said with an unquestionable voice.
The situation has been completed, it is useless for him to regret it now, and he has never regretted his decision.
Back then, the family lost the U.S. market and declined. In recent years, Huaxia has risen. They value this young market very much, so their business and investment in Huaxia are also growing.
The ancestors of their family bought Lafite Chateau 150 years ago.
But in the past 150 years, Château Lafite has not made a cent for their family.
This situation has been greatly changed because of Huaxia. The Huaxia wine consumption market has turned their family's wine industry into an unprecedented profitable industry.
Over the years, the status of the wine business has continued to improve in the family.
He is also optimistic about the Chinese market and enterprises, and in the Chinese market, there is a very special company. The young ants of the army ant's nest, let him see a unicorn with unlimited potential. So under the pressure, he decided to cooperate with the army ants.
No one eats crabs, so he is the first to eat crabs.
After meeting Chen Mo last time, he strengthened his determination to cooperate with army ants. The young man who was a dozen years younger than him, every behavior carried a calm and self-confidence, even if he sighed.
Although he is not too old, he has read a lot of people, and he feels that he will never read the wrong person.
If the bet is successful, he is a legend of the family's rejuvenation and will be recorded in the family history; if he fails, he is not considered a sinner in the decline of the family.
The daring and the timid starve to death, this is the mall.
In the current situation, the probability of trying to find the cause of Ed's death is getting smaller and smaller. Even if there is a black hand behind the scenes, if it takes so long to find out, their losses will be irreversible.
It's better to spend your time doing things you need to do.
"Make arrangements, I will go to Huaxia tomorrow." Alexander said.
"Master, will it bring more trouble if we go past this time?" the old butler asked.
"What's more trouble than the current leak of the investment plan?"
