Chapter 134

At the end of a.o. Smith's trip, Li Zitao left the matter to the think tank, as for the management of the factory.

According to his instructions, the think tank sent a team of 10 people to settle in. Under Li Zitao's hint, these people will select qualified candidates from the existing middle-level management for training.

As for the shareholders' meeting, those small characters still can't turn the waves. These days, it's Jonathan's big move, drawing all eyes away from Li Zitao.

After receiving Li's 150 million support, Jonathan rushed back to New York overnight.

Manhattan these two days is the undercurrent urgent need, the situation changes, the Astor family's struggle for power has also entered the intense heat.

First, Vincent spoke out, pointing out that the family foundation violated its principles, openly supported an illegitimate child who had never been recognized, and provoked the inner strife of the Astor family.

Soon after, Vincent filed a lawsuit against the intermediate court, demanding to remove the management of the foundation and take over the family assets.

Then Vincent accused his stepmother of stealing Astor's property and having an affair with a Broadway actor.

All kinds of gossip and gossip news are as lively as the teahouse beside the overpass.

Jonathan, however, was quiet and did not appear in front of any reporters. He seemed to accept the accusation of his nominal brother.

It's just in the dark that the Astor family's industry makes a series of equity changes.

All the shares in Waldorf and Reggie hotels, except those directly in Vincent's hands, all the rest are in Jonathan's hands.

Jonathan's agents had frequent contacts with Vincent's people and offered to buy his other properties in New York at a high price.

In order for Vincent to make up his mind, Jonathan started the layout half a year ago.

Conswello Vanderbilt, the Duchess of Marlborough, is a legendary woman.

At the end of the 19th century, the most famous million dollar sword baby, the Muse in the artist's mind, and the American Princess of great concern.

Her wedding was even more sensational throughout the United States. On the wedding day, all the people in Manhattan crowded to St. Thomas' church to watch the ceremony.

Everyone wants to see the union of the American Princess and the Duke of Y.

The 15 meter long tailed wedding dress is inlaid with a crown of 1091 diamonds, a dowry of $2.5 million, luxury wealth and a husband who is the Duke.

It can be said that at that moment, Conswello was the beloved of God in people's eyes.

If you read Downton hall and read her story, you will find that she is the prototype of the countess.

But reality is not like shooting TV series, her marriage ended in divorce, and she also married her second husband.

A French pilot, two of whom live in country f, Conswello continues to focus on women and children's philanthropy.

But with the tension in Europe, Conswello intended to move to the United States.

One of Jonathan's men, Ethan, was the agent of Conswello in front of Vincent.

"Ms. Conswello wants to sell her railway shares to sustain her charity for women and children." Ethan said, not humbly.

Vincent was moved. The van der bilt family owned the railway stock, which was the most valuable transportation line of the city's arteries.

The other party presented the stock related documents one after another, and Vincent also made a phone call with MS. Conswello.

After confirming that all this was true, Vincent couldn't sit still. He thought about the possibility every day and began to send people to investigate the operation of the New York Central Railway Company.

Vincent was too eager to succeed. As the successor of AST IV, he was denied by the family and the public all his life.

Compared with his father and grandfather, he was like a clown in a gorgeous dress.

Now, someone has presented him with an "opportunity". As long as Vincent can provide us $68 million, he can own 32% of the central railway company.

Success, success is just around the corner, but Vincent is still hesitant, because the business volume of railway transportation is in a continuous decline.

At this time, the threat from within the family arose, and they were clamoring to take away the wealth belonging to the family owner and to make Vincent have nothing.

"Tell them I agree to the deal." Enraged and angry, Vincent made his last big decision in his life.

57 stores, 23 offices and 15 apartments will bring Vincent a huge sum of $70 million in cash.

Now that his men are signing documents with each other next door, he just needs to have a final look and make sure that the money goes into his account.

It was just when Vincent was so smug that he was ready to do a big job after taking the shares.

Bang!

The door to the study was slammed open, and Jonathan filed in with the management of the family foundation and his team of lawyers.

"Vincent, you're expelled." Jonathan's cold voice sounded in the room."What are you talking about? You son of a bitch. " Vincent slapped the table angrily and stood up, his anger burning in his chest.

"I said you were evicted and all the assets of the Astor family were in my hands, except for three apartments in New York." Jonathan waved indifferently.

The lawyer group behind him opened the suitcase, and piles of papers were placed on the table.

"According to the management method of the family trust fund, I will now be the helmsman of the family. After getting 80% of the voting rights of the management, I have the right to amend the relevant regulations of the family trust fund, and we have just finished the first amendment."

"95% of the proceeds from the sale of family assets go to the trust fund." Hearing Jonathan's placid declaration, Vincent sank into his chair.

"No, it's impossible." Vincent murmured incoherently.

"Vincent, you are the shame of the Astor family. You will be nailed to the stigma rack of the Astor family history, and I will engrave your name on it myself."

Jonathan clenched his fist and said darkly that he had also been waiting too long for the day.

"No, stop, stop." As long as there is no deal, there is a chance that everything can be recovered. Vincent pours out of the door with his teeth in his teeth.

"It's too late, just after the rules of the trust have been amended, all the transactions have been closed." Jonathon's words were like a mantra, stopping his steps.

"It's you. You're the mastermind. You son of a bitch. I'm going to kill you..." No matter how stupid Vincent was, he knew it was a conspiracy.

Maybe even Conswello and his agent Ethan are all fake.

"Mr. Vincent." Ethan, who was supposed to wait to meet the next day, appeared in the crowd.

"Damned bastard, how dare you appear in front of me..." Vincent dashed forward and raised his fist like Ethan.

With a brisk step, Ethan dodged his attack and said with a smile, "no, no, I just choose to stand beside the winner."

"A fool like you, if you were in an ordinary family, would have been thrown away." Ethan mercilessly stabbed Vincent's fragile heart.

"Stop! My dear brother Jonathan looked at him with a cold, glaring look, as if he were looking at a disgusting maggot.

"Don't let the Astors be shamed any more. Live here with your property. I will take back the glory of the Astors."

"I don't want to see you in public again. If you're obedient, your daily expenses will be covered by the trust fund, otherwise..."

Otherwise, as long as his financial resources are cut off, Vincent's wealth will continue to shrink, Jonathan just need to move his fingers, can eat everything he has.

Maintenance of the manor, servants, luxurious life, social drinks, travel arrangements, these all need a lot of money.

If he wants to maintain his present life, the only choice for him is obedience.

In the estate of the Astor family, live quietly, otherwise, the powerful Jonathan would not mind driving him out.

"Three and a half million dollars will be remitted into your account. Use this money to maintain your decent life." Jonathan dropped the last word and turned away without looking back.

The crowd behind him quietly left. After a while, Vincent was the only one in the study again. The lonely figure looked a little bleak, and his era was over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today on, the Astor family will be led by me, and the future belongs to you and me." In the luxurious family central restaurant, Jonathan, like the lion king who has just ascended the throne, shows his dignity and authority.

"Cheers." The crowd cheered and raised their glasses, and the scene became lively.

Only as the owner of Jonathan sit quietly on the chair, cold eye watching, "only know attached to the tree, greedy devour parasites, it is time to clean up."

"Jonathan, I heard you made it." Just as he was planning how to throw the family parasites out, a soft voice came from behind.

"Madame." Jonathan got up and bowed his head to pay homage. It was Astor IV's widow and the stepmother who had brought him back.

"Call me Madeleine, dear master, congratulations on your victory." Madeleine took the wine from the waiter and raised it with a deep smile.

"Thank you, Madeleine." Jonathan knew what she was coming for and wanted the reward of that promise.

Two high-end apartments in the middle of Manhattan, and two million dollar cash checks.

"I'm ready for the present, Ethan. Take my wife to get her present." Jonathan said with a smile.

"Thank you. You are such a generous gentleman, much better than your useless brother." Madeleine blinked a little, twisted her sexy waist and left."Oh, hell, it's different from what we agreed to..." In the corridor, Madeleine's shrill voice came.

"What a Sexy slut With a sneer, Jonathon turned his eyes to the field. Today was just the beginning.
