"Finally here, haha, these guys are not that tolerant!" In the study, Qiao Xi fiddled with the invitation in his hand, with a sneer on his face.
The location on the invitation in his hand was a nightclub in Chicago, but the invitation was none other than the Athletic Social Club.
The final signature was Wilfred Malick.
The patriarch of the contemporary Malick family, one of the heads of Hydra, and the leader of Hydra in the future Avengers era, the father of Gideon Malick.
However, Wilfred was not very old at this time, only in his early forties. As for Gideon, he was not even born yet. Many tycoons in the United States got married and had children at a relatively late age. Because of the conditions, most people
Naturally, you can play as long as you want.
For example, Howard Stark, who was born in 1917, remained cool until the late 1960s, when he met Tony Stark's biological mother, Mary, and finally got married.
This is why Tony was born so late.
Generally speaking, these rich people do not worry about heirs. After all, the American Management Association was established as early as the beginning of the 20th century, and the professional manager system is very complete.
The famous big families in the world, such as Rockefeller, Morgan, etc., may have a few outstanding heirs emerge from time to time over a long period of time, but most of the time, their family businesses are all managed by specialized
Operated by the company.
The advantage of this method is that if the heir is still very young, it will be difficult for outsiders to take away the family property by various means... Take Tony Stark, Bruce Wayne in DC, and Green Arrow as examples.
The parents of these few died very young, and the company was once occupied by others. But what others can occupy is only the right to speak in the company. It is impossible to occupy the property. The law will not allow it, and other wealthy groups will not.
They will not allow something like this that touches their bottom line to happen.
And this is also the fundamental reason why they were finally able to regain control of the company.
If it were a family business, if the direct heir disappeared for a few years, the family property might be completely divided among the collaterals. It would be impossible for the direct heir to get it back through normal means.
Of course, the professional manager system also has disadvantages, that is, if future generations fail to live up to expectations, their control and influence in the family industry will become increasingly diminished.
The more representative one is Disney...
In contrast, it is rare for someone like Josie, who was born in August 1928 and is now 17 years old in November 1944, to have a pair of adorable twins before she has fully grown up.
And the current Wilfred Malick, like the Starks mentioned earlier, is also an inspirational figure.
The Malik family almost went bankrupt during the Great Depression more than a decade ago. Although the world's Great Depression was caused by the Hydra bosses on Wall Street, it does not mean that their industry will not be affected.
Moreover, just like the betrayed Red Skull before, Hydra has never been of the same mind.
Before the economic crisis broke out, Wilfred's father was actually the boss of the nine-member council of the previous generation. However, when the economic crisis triggered the economic crisis, the other branches of Hydra deliberately failed to inform the Malik family, which eventually caused Malik to
The family almost went bankrupt, Wilfred's father committed suicide, and the family property was taken over by the bank.
As a result, Wilfrey had to hang out at the bottom of society for a long time. In the end, he took a risk and helped Schmidt transport a batch of raw materials for super soldiers. Only then did he get help from Schmidt, who had not betrayed Hydra at the time.
He took back the family property and returned to the board of directors.
But it is just a return to the council. Wilfred still has a long way to go before he wants to regain the Malik family's original say in the council.
All the above information about Wilfred comes from Whitney Frost, who has become Yuri's assistant.
To be honest, it was actually a bit unexpected for Josie that Hydra would send Wilfred. After all, the first Hydra person he came into contact with before was Whitney Frost.
And this woman is the "gossip girlfriend" of Calvin Chadwick, the president of Iseldam Group.
So in Josie's opinion, the one sent by Hydra should be Calvin Chadwick.
But this is not a bad thing for Josie.
Because according to the relevant information obtained from Whitney, compared to Calvin Chadwick, who was born with a golden key in his mouth and has a high self-esteem.
Wilfred, who has experienced ups and downs, is obviously an easier person to communicate with, and is also the most suitable person for Josie to win over.
The purpose of Josie joining Hydra is to control Hydra.
But to be honest, the wealth and influence he currently possesses are still far behind those of most people in the nine-member council.
This gap cannot be reversed in a short time by relying on the technologies provided by Yuri.
After all, it takes time to transform technology into wealth and strength.
During this process, it was impossible for Josie to ignore the interference of these people.
Of course, Josie also has another option, such as taking control of a country and then fighting a world war with the United States, which would overturn the table.
But now the mustache that did this last time is completely dead, and the other Schmidt has been transported to an unknown corner of the universe.
Although Qiao Xi has a cheat, he is naturally not a genius, and he doesn't think he can do better than these two in the short term.
Therefore, before he has the power to completely overturn the table, Josie can only follow the existing social rules in the United States and wrestle with the Nine-member Council.
Fortunately, conquering the Austrian Hydra branch saved Qiao Xi a lot of things.
But this is not enough. If he wants to gain the right to speak as soon as possible, he also needs allies within Hydra.
As for Wilfred, who was severely cheated by his colleagues in the organization more than ten years ago, Josie did not believe that he did not come back with revenge and regain control of Hydra's voice.
But before going to the appointment, Josie still had to be fully prepared.
The invitation letter was very polite, but when Josie actually went to attend the appointment, who knows what he would face?
It just so happens that many of the things I prepared when I went to Europe were not used. This time may be a good opportunity.
In addition, the defense at home cannot be lacking.
Although there is no direct conflict of interest between Qiao Xi and the Nine-member Council, the possibility of the other party using extreme measures is very low, but precautions are necessary.
What if Fang Shi Lezhi?
By then, Josie might not even have a place to cry.
