Chapter 318 The Gattuso family officially declares bankruptcy
"It would be fine if it was just an intention, but they actually asked us to fulfill it immediately..."
Recalling Yuan Zhisheng's request, even a person like Patsy, who rarely has emotional fluctuations, couldn't help but frown deeply.
Strictly speaking, the request itself to help the eight Sheqi families enter the school board of directors is not too much.
Bargaining all over the place and paying back the money is the basis of business negotiation.
This was actually mentioned when the Gattuso family first negotiated with Tachibana Masamune.
Of course, the Gattuso family at that time just wanted to spread the pie and had no intention of actually fulfilling it.
However, when Yuan Zhisheng made this request this time, his words were very straightforward and sharp, leaving no room for bargaining.
His meaning is very clear. Only when the Gattuso family initiates a proposal as a school director will the eight Sheqi families provide assistance to the Gattuso family.
The situation has changed. I didn't expect that even the eight Sheqi families would dare to say such harsh words to the Gattuso family.
Patsy didn't have much objection to Yuan Zhi's tough tone. He was not the type to have his emotions interfered with easily.
However, a series of conditions put forward by Yuan Zhisheng, including joining the school board, require the Gattuso family to pay them immediately.
The implications of this requirement are obvious.
"The Sheqi family doesn't seem to be optimistic that we can survive this. Although they are willing to provide financial assistance, in terms of their approach, they seem to want to squeeze out the last value from us before our Gattuso family fails.
"
Patsy summed up Yuan's naive mentality.
Although the Gattuso family is about to go bankrupt, and the orthodox report has launched a thorough investigation, the centipede is still alive. At least at this moment, the Gattuso family is still the top of the secret party and the leader of Cassel College.
As a school director, the power of this family has not been restricted at all.
You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.
Yuan Zhisheng obviously wanted to take advantage of the Gattuso family's status as school director before the Gattuso family was finished, so that they could initiate a proposal and submit the matter of the eight Sheqi families joining the school board as a formal issue.
Behind this request, it reflects Yuan Zhisheng's subconscious thoughts.
They also believe that the Gattuso family will lose, so they do not want to become allies of the Gattuso family, they just want to exchange money for the value they want.
As an ally, such unsteady thoughts are undoubtedly unqualified.
From a certain perspective, the eight Sheqi families are even the same as their enemies. They are eyeing the value of the Gattuso family and want to grab more benefits before the Gattuso family is silenced.
"You're right."
Hearing Patsy's words, Frost nodded calmly.
"It is true that the Eight Sheqi Family have no good intentions, and they indeed just want to take the opportunity to blackmail you, but isn't that what so-called allies are like in the first place? We can only call them allies when they are profitable. For a huge organization like ours,
As far as I'm concerned, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests."
In the past, the Gattuso family would not have even looked at such an ally with evil intentions.
But things are different now. Even the Gattuso family has no other choice at the moment.
The Sheqi family is obviously the type to wait for a meal, and they are even considered the best group among the Gattuso family's allies.
After all, the eight Sheqi families did not participate in the attack on the Gattuso family. They just wanted to eat and drink, while others wanted to kill the Gattuso family and directly divide the inheritance.
"What's more, with the current situation, it is normal for the eight Sheqi families to think that we will lose. After all, even I myself have not found an opportunity to reverse the situation, so I can only think about preserving the family's fire."
"If the eight Sheqi families don't think based on this point and take the initiative to offer assistance to us, then it means they have a problem."
Frost said extremely calmly.
Even when he was surrounded by enemies from all sides, he was not so flustered that he neglected to take precautions.
The conditions offered by the Sheqi family were so exorbitant. They did not consider the feelings of the Gattuso family at all. They almost pointed their noses at the Gattuso family and told them that you are going to die anyway. Before you die, cut some of your flesh to fight with your brother.
But precisely this way, it was more in line with his vision.
Western society does not pay attention to morality in competitive situations, or in other words, the religious morality they believe in is completely different from the secular morality of the East.
Frost never expects mutual help among allies. It is normal for the eight Sheqi families to take the opportunity to take a bite out of the Gattuso family. As long as the Gattuso family really needs their assistance, there is no condition that they cannot
Negotiable.
"You mean, their appeal proves that they are worthy of trust?"
Patsy asked.
"No! This can only prove that there is not much doubt about their purpose, but it cannot explain anything more."
Frost shook his head, then glanced at the secretary.
"Patsy, don't talk about trust or doubt easily. The so-called trust is just a temporary judgment before the problem is discovered, and doubt is a behavior that runs through everything and can't stop for a moment. Never trust a person blindly.
, especially an organization.”
Hearing this, Patsy was silent for a few seconds, then nodded after thinking.
"Yes! What do you mean?"
"Reply to the eight Sheqi families to see if we can increase the intensity of financial support and conduct further discussions on the value of voting rights."
Frost replied immediately.
"If we can get enough assistance, maybe we can keep the energy project in the end... Even if we go completely bankrupt by then, we can still retain the minimum amount of funds to ensure the operation of the family's core plan."
After hearing Frost's order, Patsy couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes a little confused.
"Didn't you just say that you should always remain suspicious?"
Why do you have to agree to the other party’s conditions now?
"Being skeptical doesn't mean not taking action."
Frost shook his head.
"It is impossible for us to wait until all doubts are cleared before making a decision. This would take too much time and cost. Moreover, with the current situation of the Gattuso family, there is no room for pickiness."
Obviously, the last words are the most real reason.
Frost knew that the Sheqi family might not be trustworthy, but this was their last life-saving straw. As long as this life-saving straw was realistic enough, they had no time to consider whether it was a poisonous snake in disguise.
If he insists on distinguishing the type of life-saving straw, he will have sunk to the bottom of the water by the time he makes a clear judgment.
"yes!"
Patsy took the order and left.
In the office with only one person left, Frost's eyes were fixed on the island country in the far east on the map, and he refused to relax for a long time.
"Family...or plan?"
·
The communication between Patsy and Yuan Zhisheng lasted for more than half an hour.
The two parties sincerely exchanged mutual opinions and reached a very useful meeting.
"In other words, they refuse to make any concessions and require us to strictly abide by the conditions?"
After hearing what Patsy said, Frost frowned slightly.
"Yes."
Percy nodded.
"They insisted on asking us to submit the proposal to the school board of directors first, and asked us to vote in support at the meeting, and refused to provide more financial support."
I want the horse to run away, but I also want the horse not to eat grass. The appearance of the Sheqi family eating is too ugly.
Upon hearing this, Frost thought for two seconds, and then looked at Patsy with majestic eyes.
"Promise them!"
"Yes-huh?!"
Patsy nodded subconsciously before reacting.
Faced with such excessive conditions, Frost actually chose to agree? This is not in line with his temper.
Seeing his expression, Frost sneered.
"Agree to all their conditions and immediately submit a proposal to invite the eight Sheqi families to join the school board of directors... As for whether we will vote in support on the day of the meeting, we will wait until then."
It was obvious that he wanted to break the contract.
In other respects, the eight Sheqi families require them to pay immediately, which is no problem, but the voting involves the secret party's process, and even the Gattuso family cannot interfere.
He can agree to it now. As for what to do then, it depends on whether the Sheqi family understands or not.
Since the eight Sheqi families betrayed the alliance once, there is no need for the Gattuso family to pretend to be good people.
After hearing what Frost meant, Patsy hesitated.
"If you break the promise like this, won't you worry about the revenge of the eight Sheqi families?"
Even with the current size of the Gattuso family after the core industry was damaged, it is not an opponent that the Sheqi family can defeat. They only need the cash flow of the Sheqi family.
But if the Gattuso family goes bankrupt by then, the Sheqi family may not be able to pose a threat.
Breaking a promise must be based on strength. In the future, the revenge of the eight Sheqi families cannot be taken lightly like now.
"It doesn't matter."
Frost shook his head.
"The conditions agreed to by the Sheqi family are so that the family can retain some of the industry and tide over the current difficulties. As for the school board... we will never allow the Sheqi family to join the school board. There will be no compromise on this point.
leeway, do you understand?"
Frost and Patsy looked at each other, their eyes showing an unyielding determination.
"……yes!"
Seeing this, Patsy nodded immediately.
He had already guessed the reason why Frost said this, it must be because of the family's secret plan.
If the Sheqi family enters the school board of directors, this plan will be disrupted, which is why Frost is so determined.
After realizing this, Patsy hesitated for a moment, and finally expressed his doubts.
"Mr. Frost, if it is for the sake of planning, wouldn't it be the safest outcome to directly reject the conditions of the Eight Sheqi Family and refuse to submit this proposal?"
“Once a proposal is successfully submitted, the final outcome is out of our control.”
Patsy warned seriously.
Even if Frost himself vetoes his own proposal, there is no guarantee that the proposal will be ultimately rejected. There are other people with the right to vote!
Hearing Patsy's words, Frost shook his head.
"If we reject the conditions of the Sheqi Eight Family, it will be difficult to maintain the current organizational structure after the family goes bankrupt."
"..."
Percy was silent for a moment.
He understood Frost's predicament.
If you don't agree to the conditions of the Eight Sheqi Family, you can't save the family. If you fully agree to the conditions of the Eight Sheqi Family, you can't keep the plan.
The family and the plan are placed at two ends of the scale. No matter which one is chosen, the other must be put down.
That's why Frost wanted to take a risk and submit a proposal while planning to refuse to agree to his proposal.
"Even if a proposal is submitted, the school directors are very wary of them based on the Sheqi Eight Family's previous behavior, and it is impossible to really share the position of school director with them... How can other families spend so much energy and financial resources to get the position?
Maybe give to others easily?”
Frost sneered and said.
He was confident enough to control the outcome of the vote, otherwise he would not have chosen to agree to the proposal of the eight Sheqi families.
If you want to join the secret party, you must not only withstand the inspection, but also bring enough benefits to the secret party. The Gattuso family has spent so many years of money, and they also seized the opportunity to help the secret party in time to become a member of the secret party.
High level.
How can He Dehe of the Eight Sheqi Family become the school director of the secret party? Just because they are descendants of the White King? But are they willing to expose this secret?
Thinking this, Frost confidently clenched his hands into fists.
"Family and plans, I want them all!"
Understanding that Frost made this decision knowing all the risks, Patsy said no more and immediately began to execute the order.
Soon, in the name of the head of the Gattuso family, he drafted a proposal for the eight Sheqi families to join the school board. Frost signed it with the authority of the head of the family and formally submitted it to Norma.
After a "ding", the proposal was formally submitted to all school board members.
The fixed process stored by Norma was opened. At this moment, even if the Gattuso family wanted to regret it, they could not withdraw the proposal.
As agreed, after submitting the proposal, Frost immediately ordered Passi to put the 10 billion deposit paid by the eight Sheqi families into the control of the Gattuso family, and continued to give instructions.
"Let the eight Sheqi families pay the balance, fulfill their covenant, and continue to fully cooperate with our counterattack!"
Looking at the curves on the computer screen, Frost felt a rare sense of high spirits.
"Although it is not enough to reverse the situation, with the addition of this capital, even after bankruptcy, we can at least maintain the operation of the family and ensure the smooth operation of the plan!"
He had already planned the funds for the eight Sheqi families.
These funds are not enough to change the situation, but they are enough to build the last security fortress.
By then, although the Gattuso family will lose several levels, it will still be able to ensure the operation of the basic plan, and this is enough for him.
"yes!"
Patsy immediately relayed Frost's request.
The remuneration paid by the Sheqi family is guaranteed by a neutral party, and they are not worried that the Sheqi family will make a mistake.
As for the so-called full cooperation, there is nothing that can effectively constrain it.
No matter what, it is impossible for the eight Sheqi families to leave the funds in their hands.
However, as long as they still hold the right to vote on the proposal, there is no need to worry that the Eight Sheqi Family will betray their trust at this time.
They do not overestimate the integrity of the Eight Sheqi Family, just as they themselves have no intention of fulfilling their voting agreement. They know that the Eight Sheqi Family will betray if they have the opportunity, but this is not important.
The important thing is that betrayal at this time is definitely not in the interests of the Sheqi family. As long as they are not stupid, the Sheqi family will not betray again before the Gattuso family votes.
Frost is confident enough about this.
The fact was indeed as he expected.
The eight Sheqi families quickly responded to him very positively, saying that they had prepared funds and were about to fight, and reminded them not to forget to vote.
Under the remote command of professionals from the Gattuso family, the funds of the eight Sheqi families were quickly invested in energy projects, and started strangulation with other financial giants. The funds of the Gattuso family also followed suit, and gradually began to encroach on those
Funding for the attack comes.
The addition of new forces caught the consortium by surprise.
Some of the funds, led by Black Gold Swan, actually began to turn around to help the Gattuso family attack other consortiums.
This kind of behavior is not uncommon in the financial market. Even short sellers don't mind occasionally going long in the short term to make a small profit.
However, seeing that the Gattuso family was about to make a comeback, before the market closed, an uneasy signal came from professional traders.
"The contact with the Sheqi Eighth Family has been cut off?"
When he got the news, Patsy was extremely shocked.
Although the Sheqi family is not as good as the Gattuso family, it is still a behemoth among hybrids. An organization of this level would actually fall apart at the most critical moment. You are just trying to play house!
He immediately called to inquire, but no one answered the number he had been able to get through to before.
Patsy immediately used various other methods to contact him. After various attempts, he finally came to a conclusion.
He was blocked!
To be precise, the entire Gattuso family's communications have been blocked.
Even if other methods of communication were used, the communication would only be answered by the artificial intelligence Kaguya, and the eight Sheqi families refused to respond at all.
Soon, Frost got the news.
Seeing the rapid changes on the computer, the acting head of the family who just said "I want them all" fell down on the office chair with a pale face.
Obviously, the eight Sheqi families have betrayed again!
They were put together, and the Sheqi Eight Family were actually in the same group as the Black Gold Swan.
At the last moment, Black Gold Swan's funds and those of the Sheqi Ba Family suddenly merged!
In order to build the last fortress, the Gattuso family invested most of their remaining funds, and now these funds are being lost in units of hundreds of millions every minute and every second.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Gattuso family's losses reached hundreds of billions, and this was just the beginning.
The betrayal of the eight Sheqi families' funds not only brought direct losses, but also sent a clear signal to the outside world - the last ally of the Gattuso family officially betrayed them and joined the hunt for the Gattuso family.
This clear signal almost marked the decline of the Gattuso family. Even funds that had not dared to come in before, and even retail investors who did not know the situation, were attracted one after another.
Under this huge wave, no matter how big a monster it is, it can only be dismembered, and the financial building of the Gattuso family completely collapsed at this moment.
Originally, the Gattuso family could still survive for half a month, but now, everything is gone.
Whether it was the fortress planned to be built or the opportunity to save the situation, everything was gone.
"How is that possible?! How dare they? We haven't officially voted yet!"
After realizing that his decision was wrong, Frost immediately lost his composure and let out a rare filial piety.
He couldn't figure out why the Sheqi family would betray them. Was it false to say that they wanted to join the school board? Aren't they worried that they would vote against it?
He hammered the table with his fist, and in his anger he broke the mahogany tabletop. The wooden thorns on his palms drew blood, but he was completely unaware of it. Bright gold was burning in his eyes.
Unfortunately, this kind of incompetent rage is of no use, and personal bravery cannot interfere with the outcome of the financial market.
Now the situation is set and there is no room for recovery.
After realizing this, Frost slumped down in his office chair.
His eyes passed over the names of the forces that were encroaching on the Gattuso family one by one, and paused for a moment on the name Black Gold Swan - this was the force that had the most accurate timing and the most profit this time.
Finally, he looked at the list of an organization that was originally an ally among the many forces in front of him.
After a while, Frost gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth.
"Yuan Zhisheng, I remember you!"
The next day, the greedy emperor and the top wealthy family in mixed-race society, the Gattuso family, officially declared bankruptcy.
