The battle for inheritance rights of large families is no less cruel than that of a live-and-death shopping mall. If analyzed according to the principle of "the greatest profit is the greatest suspicion", then the most likely person to attack John Vanderbilt should be John's brothers.

They were excluded from the management of the Vanderbilt family because of their insufficient ability or poor character. Now it is their last chance. If John Vanderbilt obtains the right to inherit the family, the best result for his brothers is to receive a monthly living expenses, which can ensure that they can have no worries about food and clothing, and even remain in the upper class, but it is definitely not consistent with their expectations.

There is no way, if you want to blame, you can only blame Old Vanderbilt for being too capable and leaving behind such a family business that no one can give up. But whether Old Vanderbilt has formulated an heir is simply like burying a time bomb in the family. Once Old Vanderbilt dies, the bomb will be detonated, and the injured are all his own people.

"I'm afraid you're the only one who thinks so. From 3:00 pm to when I left the police station, I've received three anonymous reports. Now all the guys named Vanderbilt are suspects, and some people can't wait." Bresta sneered. Some people's eating habits are really ugly.

When it comes to death, the East and the West have completely different attitudes, and the East is more tolerant in habits. Even if it is an enemy, the hatred will disappear as one side dies.

Westerners are relatively more concerned about victory or defeat. Death usually means a person’s complete failure. For example, Vanderbilt and sons, others will not let the Vanderbilt family go just because of the death of Vanderbilt and sons. It is normal choice to put down the wrong side.

Li Mu was still thinking about his old love, so he was not willing to go too far. Others did not have this concern. For example, those three reporting calls, Li Mu could even conclude that William Vanderbilt's brother must have participated in it, otherwise it would not be possible to have such a strong direction.

"What other people are willing to do is their business. I can't do it so cruelly. In the Chinese tradition, the 'dead is the greatest'. So, even if I want to get the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory, it must be after William is buried." Li Mu ignored others and only did what he should do, so that at least he would not regret his choice when he thinks about this period of time in the future.

"Then I have to remind you that if you want to do something, it is best to start taking action immediately now. Others will not give up their gentlemanly demeanor." Bresta stopped and did not try to change Li Mu's thoughts.

In the next two days, the assassination of John Vanderbilt quickly became a topic of New Yorkers, and almost all New Yorkers would talk about it, and even the topic of snow disasters was second.

In fact, white people also have the same gossip, especially big families like the Vanderbilt family. They have never lacked topics, but this time it is even more exciting.

New Yorkers are indeed gossipy enough. In the past two days, almost all New Yorkers have turned into detectives, analyzing who is most likely to attack William Vanderbilt. There are many suspicions, and even Li Mu is not spared. Many people believe that it is precisely because of the competition between Junma Automobile and Vanderbilt that Li Mu eventually killed William Vanderbilt.

Not to mention, this statement is very marketable, and the rumors are rumored that even Hamilton Fish’s dinner invitation is considered a plot to help the evildoer.

Li Mu ignored where these rumors came from. Out of humanitarianism, the day after William Vanderbilt was assassinated, Li Mu went to St. Mary's Hospital to visit Coneyliers Vanderbilt, who was ill in bed. Unfortunately, Coneyliers Vanderbilt was still in a coma, and he didn't even know the news of William Vanderbilt's assassination.

On the second day after Li Mu visited Coneyliers Vanderbilt, bad news came from the hospital. Coneyliers Vanderbilt died of illness on the evening of January 20 due to physical failure.

Now, the death of Conelliers Vanderbilt also means that the Vanderbilt family has lost its last backbone. The curtain has been opened and the good show is about to come on. The ambitious people are eager to try and prepare to swallow the Vanderbilt family with bones and flesh.

In order to avoid the long and long nights of dreams, Li Mu immediately asked Hamilton Fish to find a way to meet with the new heirs of the Vanderbilt family to discuss the deal at the Vanderbilt Automobile Factory.

This request is not easy, and it is easy to get in touch with the Vanderbilt family, but in order to conduct substantive negotiations, Li Mu still pinned his hopes after the funerals of Coneyliers Vanderbilt and William Vanderbilt.

"The Vanderbilt family is over. You must have never imagined that William's brothers and sisters formed a leadership group, which originally intended to manage the business in a democratic way, but the efficiency of the leadership group was very low. They only decided one thing in the three days since their establishment, that is, to buried Corneliers and William on January 25. They did not reach any consensus on the normal operation of the company." Hamilton Fish was also helpless. This situation was often seen when Hamilton Fish was Secretary of State. Every time Congress met, the Republican representatives would quarrel with the Democratic representatives. Their quarrels were not for work, but just for quarrels.

The Vanderbilt family is also in such a vicious circle.

"Haha, let them argue. I'm afraid such a scene will continue to happen in the future. Melville, find a way to contact William's brothers. As long as one or two of them are touched, we will have a chance to take advantage of it." Li Mu has already entered the working state. At this time, Li Mu has no feelings at all. He is best at quickly KOing his opponent with a combination of storm.

"It's okay." Melville Fowler had no psychological burden. As a lawyer, Melville Fowler had seen such things for a long time.

No matter when the dollar is unsatisfactory, Melville Fowler bribed William's two brothers at the cost of $20,000 and was preparing to propose selling Vanderbilt Automobile to the Junma Group at a meeting of the Vanderbilt family leadership group.

Compared with the wealth of the Vanderbilt family, 20,000 US dollars is not much, but the problem is that for many Vanderbilt family children, this is probably the most money they have ever seen in their lives. You should know that when Vanderbilt and William were in power, they didn’t even have the opportunity to participate in the auditors, so naturally they didn’t have the opportunity to come into contact with bulk transactions.

Now the opportunity has come. No matter how much money Junma Group is willing to pay for Vanderbilt Automobile Company, the amount they deserve is a lot, and the 20,000 US dollars has become an unexpected surprise.

Compared with the elderly Hamilton Fish, Melville Fowler is efficient enough. At a regular meeting on January 24, William's brother Paul proposed to streamline business and maintain core industries. The Vanderbilt Automobile Factory unfortunately became a commodity and put it on the shelves.

"Paul's asking price is $3.5 million, including the factory area, the contract being fulfilled, and many patents owned by Vanderbilt Automobile. Considering the investment of the Vanderbilt family for Vanderbilt Automobile, we think this price is appropriate." Melville Fowler was proud of it. This offer really made Melville Fowler proud.

As far as Li Mu knows, in order to establish Vanderbilt Automobile Company, William Vanderbilt invested nearly nine million US dollars in funds. In addition to harvesting factories and patents, the money also has more than 2,000 skilled workers, and the business is very cost-effective.

Paul Vanderbilt does not have strategic vision. No wonder Vanderbilt excludes Paul from management. Although Vanderbilt's financial statements are not good on the surface, the future is promising. Paul Vanderbilt doesn't recognize this at all, so he offered a price of 3.5 million, which is almost free.

"Give it to him, if you can, sign the contract as soon as possible." Li Mu didn't want to have a long dream. If Rockefeller's hungry wolf changed his mind, he would have to spend more money to get Vanderbilt Automobile Company.

"Well, I'll soon, Mr. Paul hopes you can attend the funerals of Mr. Conneliers and Mr. William-" Melville Fowler did not forget to convey Paul's invitation.

"Okay, I will definitely go." Although there was an unhappiness between Li Mu and William Vanderbilt, Li Mu was still willing to say his final farewell to William without looking at the monk's face.

The weather finally cleared the next day. Although the clouds in the sky were still thick, the snow had stopped. God seemed to prefer the Governor Island, and cast a beam of sunlight on the Governor Island in the cracks of the clouds. The entire Governor Island looked particularly dazzling. Standing in the Fort Park to look at the Governor Island, you even feel the pain of the reflective words in the snow.

Li Mu didn't have time to stay at home and bask in the sun. Although Li Mu wanted to do this, he was going to attend the funeral of Conneils and William and his son. Li Mu changed his suit early and asked Mason to get a piece of carnation to use it when he said goodbye to William in the end.

In the United States, there is no need to be a member of the funeral, and the owner does not care about food. Generally, guests bring their own flowers. Before burial, they still talk about memorials on the coffin. Li Mu also followed the customs. Although it was not easy to find flowers during the snow disaster, Mason still completed the task.

William's siblings chose to bury Conneils and William and his son in Greenwood Cemetery, New York and the largest and most famous cemetery in the United States. The cemetery was built in 1838 and buried here with George Clinton, who was once the governor of New York and vice president of the United States.

Interestingly, George Clinton was not buried here at first, but the cemetery manager thought this would attract more "customers", so he moved George Clinton's body over after the cemetery was built.

Look at people's attitude towards death, it turns out that everything is about money. For the sake of business, even dead people cannot live in peace, but the whole society still agrees with it-

Facts have proved that the "destiny effect" is very effective. Since George Clinton "moved into Greenwood Public Offering, elites in New York's fields of industry, commerce, politics, art have chosen to sleep here forever, so a popular saying in New York is: Living on Fifth Avenue, living in Central Park, and sleeping in Greenwood with his father.

The cemetery of the most famous American rich man, Conneils and William, is at the top of the hill. Next to their cemetery is the cemetery of William Colgate, the founder of Colgate. It has a wide view and beautiful scenery. You can overlook Brooklyn and Manhattan from afar. It is really a Feng Shui treasure land.

The cemetery is the place that best shows the filial piety of children, so the cemetery of Coneyliers and William covers a large area. There are even two tall stone lions at the entrance of the tomb passage. The road is paved with granite. In the future, two statues will be counted here to commemorate the great achievements of Coneyliers and William.

From the perspective of the 21st century, Coneyliers and William have almost no memorial value, but in this era, Coneyliers and William, especially Coneyliers Vanderbilt, his stories are definitely worthy of writing. This can be seen from the identity of the guests. New York Governor Arthur, Mayor Edward, City Council Speaker Edwin Virginia, and even Secretary of State William Evatt, Li Mu and Rockefeller are even more unabridged. There are about 500 guests attending the funeral.

"United Pacific Railway and North Pacific Railway have started to do something. How are you here? Do you need my help?" Even at the funeral, Rockefeller did not forget whether he had any communication with Li Mu.

This is not disrespectful to the dead. In fact, there are not one or two guests who have special purposes. Although everyone gathered together, in name only to say goodbye to Coneyliers, William and his son, if that's all, it would be a waste.

After all, for Li Mu and Rockefeller, their time is extremely precious.

"No, I can handle it myself, what about you?" Li Mu refused to let Rockefeller intervene. In fact, after buying Vanderbilt Automobile Company, Li Mu will directly erase the surname "Vanderbilt". From then on, Li Mu will firmly resist anyone and any force will enter the automobile industry, just like the current arms industry.

"Of course there is no problem here-" Rockefeller is also full of confidence. The Vanderbilt family is like a four-year-old child holding a brick on the street, with almost no resistance to criminal behavior, which is simply a tempting crime.

The two were waiting for the ceremony to begin, and Yan Shun suddenly hurried over and said in Li Mu's ear: "Paul tore up the contract, and he sold Vanderbilt Automobile Company to the British-"

British?
