After Smith's trip, Li Zitao handed over the matter to the think tank to deal with, as for the management of the factory.

In accordance with his instructions, the think tank sent a team of 10 people to settle in, and under Li Zitao's hint, these people would select qualified candidates from the existing middle management to be trained.

As for the shareholders' meeting, those small characters can't make waves, but in the past few days, Jonathan's big move has drawn all eyes away from Li Zitao.

Since receiving 150 million support from Li Zitao, Jonathan rushed back to New York overnight.

The past two days in Manhattan have been undercurrents, the situation has changed, and the struggle for power of the Astor family has also entered a white heat.

First, Vincent spoke out, accusing the family foundation of violating its principles, openly supporting an illegitimate child who had never been recognized, and provoking infighting in the Astor family.

This was followed by Vincent's lawsuit against the Intermediate Court, demanding the removal of the foundation's management and the full takeover of the family's assets.

Vincent then accuses his stepmother of embezzling the Astor family property and having an affair with a Broadway actor.

All kinds of gossip and gossip news are as lively as the teahouse by the flyover.

Jonathan was quiet, did not appear in front of any reporters, and seemed to accept the accusations of the titular brother.

It's just that secretly, the Astor family's estate has undergone a series of equity changes.

As for the shares of Waldorf Astoria and St. Regis, except for those directly in the hands of Vincent, the rest fell into the hands of Jonathan.

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

In order to make Vincent make up his mind, Jonathan began to lay out as early as half a year ago.

Constance Vello Vanderbilt, Duchess of Marlborough, is a woman of legend.

At the end of the 19th century, the most famous million-dollar knife baby, the muse in the artist's mind, and the American princess who attracted much attention.

Her wedding caused a sensation throughout the United States, and on the day of the wedding, thousands of people in Manhattan crowded to St. Thomas's Church to watch the ceremony.

Everyone wants to see the union of the American princess and the Duke of Y with their own eyes.

A 15-metre-long trailing wedding dress, a crown encrusted with 1,091 diamonds, a dowry of up to $2.5 million, lavish wealth and a noble duke's husband.

It can be said that at that moment, Consvello was the darling of God in the eyes of the people.

If you read "Downton Abbey" and read her story again, you will find that she is the prototype of the Countess.

It's just that the reality is not like filming a TV series, her marriage ended in divorce, and she also married her second husband.

A French pilot, the two of whom currently live in country F, Consverlo continues to focus on women's and children's philanthropic work.

It was only with tensions in Europe that Constance was interested in moving to the United States.

And one of Jonathan's subordinates named 'Ethan' incarnates as Consvello's agent in front of Vincent.

"Ms. Constance Vello wants to sell her railway stock to sustain her women's and children's charity. Ethan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Vincent was tempted by the Vanderbilt family's control of the railroad stock, which was the most valuable transportation line in the city's arteries.

The other party showed the relevant documents one after another, and Vincent also spoke to Ms. 'Consvilo' on the phone in person.

After determining that all this was true, Vincent couldn't sit still, and every day he considered the possibility of this matter, and began to send people to investigate the operation of the New York Central Railroad.

Vincent was too eager to succeed, and as the successor of Astor IV, he spent his life being denied by his family and the public.

Compared to his father and grandfather, he was like a clown in a gorgeous garment.

Now, someone has given him the 'opportunity' that as long as Vincent can come up with 68 million US dollars, he can own 32% of the shares of the Central Railway Company.

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

At this time, threats arise from within the family, who are clamoring to take away the wealth that belongs to the owner of the family and leave Vincent with nothing.

"Tell them that I agree to the deal. Annoyed and furious, Vincent made the last big decision of his life.

57 shops, 23 offices, and 15 apartments will bring Vincent $70 million in cash.

Now that his subordinates are signing documents next door to the other party, he just needs to make sure the money flows into his account for the final time.

Just when Vincent was full of pride and was ready to make a big deal after acquiring the shares.

Syllable!

The door to the study was pushed open and Jonathan entered with the management of the family foundation, as well as his team of lawyers.

"Vincent, you've been expelled. Jonathan's icy voice rang out in the room.

"What are you talking about? You damn bastard. Vincent angrily slapped the table and stood up, anger burning in his chest.

"I said you were evicted, except for 3 apartments in New York, all the assets of the Astor family are in my hands. Jonathan waved his hand indifferently.

The lawyer group behind him opened the suitcase, and a pile of documents was placed on the table.

"According to the management of the family trust, I will now be at the helm of the family, and after receiving 80% of the voting rights of the management,

We have the power to amend the regulations related to family trust funds, and we have just completed the first amendment. ”

"Ninety-five percent of the proceeds from the sale of family assets go to the trust fund. Hearing Jonathan's unwavering declaration, Vincent slumped into his chair.

"No, it can't be. Vincent muttered incoherently.

"Vincent, you are the shame of the Astor family, you will be nailed to the shame frame of the Astor family's history, and I will personally engrave your name on it. ”

Jonathan clenched his fists and said in a gloomy tone, he had also waited too long for this day.

"No, stop, stop. As long as there is no deal, then everything has a chance to be saved, Vincent swooped out the door with his teeth and claws.

"It was too late, and just after the relevant regulations of the trust fund were amended, all transactions were closed. Jonathan's words were like a mantra that stopped him from stepping out.

"It's you, it's all planned by you, it's you dog bastard, I'm going to kill you......" Vincent is just stupid, and he knows all this is a conspiracy at the moment.

Perhaps even Consvello, and his agent Ethan, are all fake.

"Mr. Vincent. Ethan, who was supposed to wait to see her the next day, showed up in the crowd.

"Damn bitch, how dare you appear in front of me......" Vincent lunged forward, raising his fist like Ethan.

With briskly beating steps, the skinny Ethan deftly dodged his attack and said with a smile: "No, no, I just chose to stand next to the victor." ”

"A fool like you, if it were in an ordinary family, I'm afraid you would have been thrown away a long time ago. Ethan mercilessly poked Vincent's fragile heart.

"Stop, my dear brother. Jonathan looked at him with a cold gaze, like a disgusting maggot.

"Don't let the Astor family be ashamed anymore, live here in peace with the property that belongs to you, and the glory of the Astor family will be taken back by me personally. ”

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

Otherwise, as long as his financial source is cut off, Vincent's wealth will continue to shrink, and Jonathan only needs to move his fingers to eat away at his everything.

The maintenance of the manor, the servants, the lavish life, the drinking parties necessary for socializing, the arrangements for carriages and horses when traveling, all of which required large sums of money.

If he wants to maintain his current life, the only option for him is to be obedient.

In the Astor family's estate, live quietly, otherwise, Jonathan, who is in power, will not mind kicking him out.

"$3,500,000 will be remitted to your account, use the money to maintain your decent living!" Jonathan dropped his last sentence and turned to leave without looking back.

The crowd behind him quietly left, and after a while, Vincent was alone in the study again, and the lonely figure looked a little bleak, and his time was over.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today onwards, the Astor family will be led by me, and the future will belong to you and me. "In the lavish family central restaurant, Jonathan is like a newly enthroned lion king, showing his majesty and authority.

"Cheers. Everyone cheered and raised their glasses, and the scene instantly became lively.

Only Jonathan, as the owner, sat quietly in his chair and watched coldly, "I only know that the parasites that cling to the big trees and devour greedily are time to be cleaned up." ”

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

"Ma'am. Jonathan stood up and bowed his head in salute, it was none other than Astor IV's widow and the stepmother who had brought him back.

"Call me Madeleine, honorable head of the house, and congratulate you on your victory. Madeleine took the wine from the waitress and raised it with a deep smile.

"Thank you, Madeleine. Jonathan knew what she was here for, and wanted to be paid for that promise.

Two upscale condos in the heart of Manhattan and cash checks worth $2 million.

"I've got the gift ready, Ethan, and take Madame to get her gift. Jonathan said with a smile.

"Thanks, you are such a generous gentleman, much better than your waste brother. Madeleine winked pointedly, twisting her sexy waist and leaving.

"Oh hell, that's not what we said we we......" Madeleine's shrill voice came down the hallway.

"What a sexy slut!" Jonathan sneered, turning his gaze to the field, everything today was just the beginning.
