Chapter 1577 Brothers Are Against the Wall
"My dear brother, you are so naive!" Davis showed a grim smile, elegantly took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of his suit, and slowly opened it and said, "Charlie, don't you? Forgot that I signed a will a year ago, once you die, all the shares in your name will be inherited by me?"
It turned out that this middle-aged white man, Charlie, and Davis, who was holding a gun in front of him, were actually brothers. Now it's obviously not brothers and sisters, but brothers who are against the wall.
Charlie froze for a moment and shouted angrily: "Davis! When did I sign such a will? You want money and you want to go crazy!"
Davis did not change his face, and said calmly: "You will sign soon, and the signing time was a year ago. Is there a problem? My dear brother!"
Charlie suddenly came back to his senses, his eyes blazing with anger, staring at Davis, roaring: "You want to forge a will? Dream! I'm going to die, why should I cooperate with you to sign this crap will? I Even death will not let you succeed!"
Davis smiled and said lightly, "Charlie, you will definitely cooperate."
"Dream!" said Charlie through gritted teeth. "Just kill me! Stop thinking about it!"
Davis said with a smile: "Don't worry! The moon is so bright tonight, I don't want to send you on the road so early! Why don't you listen to how this will was written?"
After speaking, Davis ignored Charlie, who was begging for death with his eyes closed tightly, and read to himself: "I, Charlie Koch, witnessed by Jenkins, a practicing lawyer now, make the following will..."
Charlie opened his eyes at once, and roared angrily: "You villain! You even bought Jenkins!"
Even if a will has his autograph, if there is no qualified lawyer to witness it, it may be invalid. Davis wrote the content of the will like this to ensure that nothing goes wrong, and it is obvious that he Even the Jenkins lawyer bought it.
You know, Jenkins is Charlie's legal adviser. He has worked by Charlie's side for more than fifteen years. Basically, all of Charlie's major legal issues are entrusted to Jenkins, including some not-so-good things. It can be seen that Charlie Trust in Jenkins.
Obviously, even Jenkins betrayed himself, which made Charlie feel even more out of anger.
Seeing his own brother's emotional breakdown, Davis seemed to enjoy it very much. With a bright smile on his face, he said, "Charlie, my dear brother, you are just too impatient, Jenkins is just a little guy, I haven't After reading the will!"
After speaking, Davis continued to read: "If I die, all the property in my name, including but not limited to the shares of the family business group held by me, all real estate and cash, of which $100 million is owned by my wife Anina and His son Luca inherits, and the rest of the property is inherited by his younger brother, Mr. Davis Koch."
Davis finished reading the will, and patiently folded the will and put it in his pocket, and then said with a smile, "Charlie, did you hear me? I left 100 million for my dear sister-in-law and nephew. What about the US dollars! In my conscience, I am really a soft-hearted person! This will is really beneficial to you!"
After listening to it, Charlie fully understood that the reason why Davis took out this will recklessly, and was sure that he would sign it, was that he had fully mastered the initiative and understood his psychology.
It is true that if you insist on not signing,
Tonight is so broken, according to federal law, his wife Anina will be the first in line to inherit his property.
But Charlie knew very well in his heart that he was gone, leaving Anina and Luca orphans and widows, even if they inherited all his inheritance, how could they keep it? Davis only needs to let their mother and son disappear without knowing it, as he did to himself, and he can inherit the property rightfully.
Of course, Charlie has already seen through Davis's thoughts. The reason why Davis came up with such a will and left a fortune of 100 million US dollars to Anina, mother and son is not merciful - even his own brother can How can someone who kills be merciful to his sister-in-law and nephew?
Davis did it entirely in his own interests.
First of all, if the three members of the Charlie family encounter accidental deaths one after another, Davis, a vested interest, will definitely be questioned. Although it is difficult for others to find evidence, Davis does not want his reputation to suffer, so he is willing to Spend some money to buy that fame.
Secondly and most importantly, if Anina and Luca died unexpectedly after inheriting the inheritance, and Davis inherited the inheritance through kinship, it would be equivalent to paying two inheritance taxes. You must know the inheritance of the United States. Taxes are very heavy. In comparison, $100 million is really just a drizzle.
After all, the famous Koch family is one of the few big families in the United States. The assets of the Koch family have reached more than 300 billion US dollars, and Charlie, as the contemporary patriarch of the family, the family group under his name The shares exceed 70%, and the net worth is at least 200 billion US dollars.
With a mere $100 million, you can inherit hundreds of billions of assets smoothly and smoothly. This kind of transaction is simply too cost-effective.
Davis looked at Charlie with a smile on his face, and he didn't bother, letting his expression change.
Charlie found to his dismay that even though he could see into all of Davis's thoughts, there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening.
After a while, Charlie opened his eyes and stared at Davis, and asked, "How can I be sure that after you get my signature, you will still pay Anina and Luca $100 million? And never hurt them? You can completely get the money and then cut the grass and root it..."
Davis showed an exaggerated smile and shrugged: "My dear brother, why should I ruin my reputation for a mere $100 million? Isn't the reason why I do this to keep things from getting complicated? Besides, Anina and Luca don't know what happened today, they don't threaten me, why should I kill them?"
Charlie couldn't help but keep his mouth shut, and he had to admit that Davis had a point.
According to Charlie's understanding of Davis, if he really succeeds this time, in order to maintain his good image, instead of doing anything to Anina's mother and son, he will show a loving look in front of outsiders and take care of him. The good name of the deceased brother's widow.
If Charlie really signed this will, he would definitely die at sea, and his property would be taken away by his younger brother Davis, but for Anina and Luca, it was the best thing to think about it. chosen.
After all, whether he signs it or not, his life will definitely not be preserved, nor can his property be preserved.
Davis, like a mind reader, said at the right time: "Charlie, you should give Anina and Luca a second thought. At least you wouldn't want to see them both follow in your footsteps soon. God? If you don't sign this, no matter how merciful I am, I will have to do something to my dear sister-in-law and nephew. If it really gets to this point, it's really sad!"
Charlie couldn't help trembling when he heard the words. He knew that Davis had reached the level he was today, and there was no turning back. Davis' ultimate goal was the billion-dollar property. If he didn't sign, he would not be able to help Annie. Na and Luca fight for more property, but it will bring them death.
Although Charlie can't be 100% sure whether Davis will fulfill his promise to pay $100 million after he signs it, as he said, Charlie can be 100% sure that if he doesn't sign, his wife and children will soon die. .
The lesser of two evils.
What's more, if Davis can pay the 100 million US dollars as promised, and open up to Anina and Luca for his own reputation in the future, then for Anina and her son, it can be regarded as an escape. .
Thinking of this, Charlie finally made up his mind helplessly. He sighed and said, "Bring it here! I'll sign this word!"
Davis could not help whistling excitedly, and then said: "I knew, Charlie, you will make the smartest choice!"
After finishing speaking, Davis took out the will and the signature pen, turned around and handed it to a big man in a waiter costume, and said, "Take it and sign it for my brother..."
Then Davis said to Charlie: "Today is really a memorable day, so... Please sign the date a year ago today!"
Charlie nodded silently. He took the printed will and the signature pen from the big man disguised as a waiter expressionlessly, then looked up at Davis and said with a hint of sarcasm, "David Sir, you are a little too cautious..."
Davis knew that what Charlie said was that he did not dare to deliver the will in person, but gave it to the big man.
He shrugged and said, "I won't forget, Charlie, you used to be the MIT kickboxing champion, even though you're not young anymore, the dawn of victory is just around the corner, and I won't allow myself to take any risks. of."
While reading the will carefully, Charlie said without raising his head: "You are indeed cautious and forbearing enough that I have never noticed your wolf ambitions..."
Charlie still has a hard time accepting this reality - in his eyes, Davis is just an illiterate swinger. Like countless rich children in the United States, relying on the wealth of the family, he can get through life without any worries. In the life of a dog and horse, no matter how squandered it is, the money will never be spent.
The era when the Koch family made a fortune has been a hundred years ago. In this century, the Koch Group has grown and grown like a snowball. Now it has become a giant consortium with business tentacles involving industry, energy, finance, Internet and many other industries. Moreover, the Koch family has not only achieved remarkable business achievements, but also participated extensively in American politics. Even in the 1980s, the contemporary patriarch of the Koch family ran for the US president. Of course, his election ended in failure.
Since then, the Koch family has changed its strategy, using the family's wealth to continue to make layouts and spending a lot of money to support candidates. For decades, the Koch family has become one of the largest funders in American elections. Candidates were elected Later, it is natural to reciprocate and give the Koch family sufficient political resources. In addition, the Koch family has been committed to the cultivation of underground forces in the past few decades. In the dark forces in the United States and even the world, the Koch family has a pivotal position. It can be said that the Koch family has strong connections in both the political and business circles of the United States, and it is also extremely influential in terms of underground forces.
The wealth earned by such a family is unimaginable.
It is no exaggeration to say that Davis signed a check on a whim and gave a sports car to the tender model he met last night, just in the short time he signed the check and had sex with the tender model. The money earned by the Koch family is far more than the value of a sports car.
In such a family, how can you spend the money by squandering?
In fact, Davis behaved like most of the wealthy sons, spending money like flowing water, full of friends every day, frequent appearances in various high-end parties. But there is one thing, he has never shown the slightest ambition, it seems that this is his life pursuit.
The Koch family consists of two brothers, Charlie and Davis, and the rest are side branches, holding very few shares, mainly relying on the main family to survive.
According to the practice of the Koch family, Charlie, who became the owner of the family, occupies the vast majority of shares, while Davis has less than 10% of the shares.
Of course, even if it is less than 10%, he can't spend the annual dividends, not to mention that the value of these shares themselves has exceeded 20 billion US dollars.
It's not that Charlie has no safety precautions, but he didn't specifically take precautions against Davis, because Davis didn't show any ambition to occupy the family property at all.
This time Charlie went to sea on his super luxury yacht, and the security precautions were actually relatively strict, but Davis couldn't stand it.
Davis has obviously been planning for a long time - this super yacht with a total length of more than 160 meters has first-class safety performance, in addition to the bulletproof function of the master bedroom, there is also a high-speed escape dinghy, and even a small In addition, in order to maintain the normal sailing of the yacht, the entire team, including the captain, sailors, cooks, waiters, bodyguards, etc., has more than 80 people, but Davis is unknowingly. A post infiltrated in and installed his henchmen.
Charlie doesn't even know when Davis got into the yacht...
