Chapter 810 A new road (please vote for the big chapter)

Scattered snow blew into the wide balcony.

The old man with white hair looked up to the sky.

"It's snowing again."

The blond girl with twin ponytails on the side also stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes.

"The last time we met was almost eight years ago,"

The old man stared at the snowflakes melting in the palm of the girl's hand, then looked up at the girl and whispered, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown so big."

He slowly raised his hand, as if he was recalling something, "I remember the last time I saw you,"

He put his hands a little higher on his waist and said, "You are only so tall."

"Although we haven't had time to meet each other for so many years, we have always kept in touch on the Internet, Uncle Endil."

Willie took back her hand and looked at the old man amusedly, "It's not like we haven't made video calls before, but you are watching me grow taller."

"Hahaha,"

Endil laughed and turned to look at Willy, "As I get older, I always like to recall things from my youth."

He reached out and picked up the books on the table,

"Speaking of which, when I was young, I hated what others said the most, like, 'Last time I saw you, you were just this old,' and 'I hugged you when you were a kid.' Unexpectedly, I became the

This kind of person laments the changes in others."

"Rather than lamenting the changes in others, it's better to say that you are lamenting the passage of time in yourself."

Willie closed her palms and let the warmth of her palms melt the snowflakes that had just fallen into her hands. She looked at Endil's old face and said, "Uncle Endil, you have aged a lot."

"yes,"

Endil turned around and looked at the empty and lonely office, "Time is not forgiving,"

He turned his head, glanced at Willy, and asked softly, "So, little girl, have you made your choice?"

"Um,"

Willy nodded, "I want to run for office."

"Where to start?"

Endil turned around, took the book in his hand, and walked towards the office.

"Let's start with the city councillor,"

Willie thought, "I want to change this city."

"Change this city..."

Endil was slightly dazed. He raised his head and looked at the huge oil painting hanging in the middle of the office.

What is painted on the oil painting is the scene when United Industries was established. Two young people stood in front of the podium and stared outside the oil painting with high spirits.

"Your father also said this to me back then."

The old man slowly lowered his head and staggered towards the desk.

"careful."

Willy quickly walked up and helped the old man.

The old man turned his head, glanced deeply at the blond girl, and suddenly smiled, "You are much better than your father back then. When he was your age, he was still a playboy. He only knew how to eat, drink and have fun every day until later.

He started taking over his family's business, and things gradually changed."

He lowered his head and sighed, "If your father sees you like this, I don't know whether he will be happy or sad."

"So my father..."

Willy's voice lowered, "Did United Industries do it?"

"It was the Eternal Secret Cult that did it,"

Endil shook his head slightly, "Of course, the Eternal Secret Cult may have already been in contact with United Industries by that time."

"So what did you do in the first place?"

Willie supported the old man and spoke in a slightly lower voice. After a brief pause, she continued to ask, "With your reputation and power back then, you could completely contain United Industries."

"Contain United Industries, and then what?"

The old man held his desk with his hands and turned around to look at the blond girl with twin tails.

"Then you might be able to control United Industries..."

Willy was stunned by the old man's question and answered subconsciously.

"Control United Industries, then what?"

Endil looked at Willie and continued to ask.

"Then you can continue my father's reforms. Haven't you been trying that kind of reform? There are still many people who miss my father's era..."

Willy looked back at the old man and said quickly.

"Um,"

The old man nodded slightly. He raised his head and looked at the huge oil painting in the middle of the office again. "Girl, do you still remember how your father 'stepped down'?"

"Vincent colluded privately to convene a shareholders' meeting and dismissed my father from his position."

Willy replied softly.

"Then do you know why Vincent was supported by the shareholders' meeting?"

Endil looked at Willy with a smile, "A company held a meeting and fired the founder who had a high prestige in the company. How did such an unreasonable thing happen?"

"Vincent colluded with some shareholders and suddenly attacked his father..."

Willy expressed what she had always heard.

"The removal of the chairman of the board of directors requires the approval of shareholders accounting for at least two-thirds of the total shares,"

Endil leaned on the desk, still looking at Willy with a smile, "This is the charter formulated by your father back then. More than half of the people voted to have your father step down. Vincent colluded with the 'part'

, actually the majority within the United Industries."

"But,"

Wei Li actually knew this. In the previous conversation with He Ao, He Ao clearly asked United Industries about its attitude towards her father. She actually also figured out that United Industries must be dissatisfied with her father.

She paused, and continued under Endil's gaze, "Don't they know that what my father did is beneficial to this city, and to the people in the Storm District and Akka District?"

Endil glanced at Willy in surprise, seeming a little surprised that Willy skipped asking about United Industries' true attitude towards her father.

"Girl, you have grown up a lot,"

He continued hoarsely, "The shareholders of United Industries naturally know that your father has done a good job, and even most shareholders admire your father, but my son, what is most beneficial to Winter City is not necessarily what is good for United Industries.

The best thing for industry.”

"ah?"

Willy was a little dazed.

"As a shareholder of United Industries, what do you think shareholders want most?"

The old man walked behind the desk little by little, pressed the book in his hand on the table, and asked in a low voice, "Want City can produce and supply its own cheap industrial products, or can the people in Aka District and Storm District smile happily?

?”

"no,"

Weili shook her head subconsciously. As the largest individual shareholder of United Industries, she knew very well what the shareholders of United Industries wanted. After a brief pause, she whispered, "It's 'money'."

"In order to prevent United Industries from being controlled by Rockville Energy Group again,"

Endil said in a hoarse voice, "Your father rejected all proposals to go public. In order to rapidly develop the industry, he spent almost all his profits on the construction of factories in the Novit District, and the price of all this was..."

"The shareholders of United Industries cannot get any dividends, and they cannot quickly realize their property through the stock market, so the shareholders of United Industries are dissatisfied with my father,"

Willy answered in a low voice, and after a brief hesitation, she continued, "But my father could have divided part of the profits and attracted a group of shareholders, and as an industrial zone, the Novite District is also profitable."

"it's useless,"

Endil shook his head, "That's what your father did back then, but the price offered by Rockwell Energy Group was higher. Compared with the income from the financial market and energy mining, pure industrial profits are not enough. What's more, your father also

Through various guarantees, the factory’s labor costs have been greatly increased.”

His eyes looked at the oil painting again, scanning the bright crowd standing around the two young people in the oil painting.

"In the eyes of many shareholders, your father is a madman who gave up higher profits and instead pursued low profits or even losses."

He continued slowly, "The biggest source of profit for United Industrial shareholders now is to obtain high profits by selling energy ore to Rockville Energy Group, and then use these profits to buy back stocks to increase the stock price, and at the same time invest in purchases

Real estate and other financial industries.

"Rockville Energy Group now holds more than 30% of the shares of United Industries and is the largest shareholder of United Industries.
