It's night.

In 7 hours, we will enter 1941, and the year is still very lively, and the disturbance of the outside world has not disturbed the peace here.

Wise's body deteriorated day by day, and the indulgence and drunkenness of his youth had caused permanent damage to his body, and now all of them were exposed.

Even with Osborne's team of medical professionals to ensure his health, West still had to use a wheelchair most of the time.

"I've seen so many wonderful things in my life, and now I've earned it when I go to God. "Wise, on the other hand, has a very indifferent view of life and death.

His life experience is indeed colorful with the final glory of the huge empire, the disintegration, and then the change of the world pattern and the rise of the United States.

"Are you sure God will take you?" Li Zitao's smile was a little stiff, after so many years of getting along, he still had a lot of feelings for the little old man.

"There's nothing money can't crack, not even God!" Wyster flicked the pocket watch chain on his chest.

"Grandfather, can you come with me to open the gifts?" said Lilith, who had been brought to the castle, and pulled Wyster happily.

"Of course. The little old man's beard trembled with laughter, he had been in the limelight countless times in his life, but the one he was most proud of was when Lilith first opened her mouth to call him 'grandfather'.

Sometimes West also regrets why he didn't find a woman to bear him a son and pass on the family line.

But the thought of even the huge Austro-Hungarian Empire falling apart made his mind as indifferent as water.

Turning his kind gaze to Lilith, Wise said to himself, 'Besides, God has sent an angel to me. ’

Everyone knew that Wise's health was getting worse and worse, but no one expected that he would die the next day of the New Year.

It was on the bed in the castle room, and as he walked away, he had a smile on his lips and a serene expression, perhaps because an angel had come to meet him in his dreams.

As Wise's 'only' relative, Li Zitao of course has to handle the funeral for him.

The funeral was simple, but it was not low-key, because there were so many big people in attendance that day.

And Juliana, who paid special attention to 'territorial rights' on this day, also appeared at the funeral at the same time.

Seeing her crying sadly, but no one around her to take care of her, Li Zitao could only comfort her silently in his heart.

Mary was wearing a black dress dress, a small round hat, a scarf hanging in front of her, and she was holding Li Zitao's arm sadly.

Today she was particularly 'clingy,' holding his arm almost every moment, and the release time did not exceed 10 seconds.

Juliana, Celia, and Elena all appeared at the funeral.

Of course, the name of the attendance naturally has nothing to do with Li Zitao, and the Li real estate that West is responsible for has a lot to do with the financial community.

Who has ever seen a real estate company who does not deal with banks, Lee's Real Estate has land and commercial development in Europe, the United States and the Far East.

As for Celia, she came with her father, and Dutannronstraus and Wyster had a good relationship.

They often make appointments for fishing, walking, hiking, horseback riding, playing chess, and so on.

The loss of the old man made Du Tanlong, who was entering the old age, feel the same way, and there was a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox.

He has too much nostalgia for this world, and what makes him most reassuring is his daughter, 'Why does she fall in love with this man?'

The person in charge of 'Ace', who also came to attend the funeral, Samuel, a public utility magnate.

John D. Rockefeller, one of America's most representative giant crocodiles, also felt the threat of death.

Money can solve all troubles, and the only thing it can't change the outcome is from the call of the 'Grim Reaper'.

They have been omnipotent in their respective fields, and have been adored and admired by countless people.

Now that they're old, they don't know who will go first!

"Charlie, Mary. Seeing the couple coming, little John nodded his head to say hello with a heavy expression.

"Uncle John. After saying hello to Little John, Mary consciously let go of Li Zitao's arm and walked to the side, where she saw Doris and Avril over there.

"Life is so fragile, he was able to ride a hurdle the last time we met. Little John walked forward with his feet up.

"Who knows what will happen tomorrow!" Li Zitao muttered: "His life is wonderful enough." ”

"Yes, I wish someone would write it down and tell it to everyone. Little John sighed.

"West won't like it, just let him stay quiet!" Li Zitao looked back at the tombstone, where Lilith was sobbing in her mother's arms.

The grandfather who loved her the most is gone, and no one will be sadder than the little girl.

Today's Garbo also wears a black lace dress and a large-brimmed hat to cover her face.

Although she was surrounded by security guards, she was still worried that she would be photographed by reporters and cause trouble for Li Zitao.

"Do you know what happened at the recent regular meeting of Shell shareholders?"

Wanting to penetrate Shell was an extremely bold idea in his opinion.

If you have to compare, it's like the interpenetration between Rockefeller and Morgan.

Both sides are giant-sized behemoths, and any slight disturbance could cause chaos in the global market.

The current international oil market seems to be calm, but in fact, the undercurrent is urgent.

As for who is better in the oil of Shell and Mobil, whose extraction and refining technology is better, the price is more favorable, the service and so on, have become the target of comparison.

This is not a deliberate one, but a discussion initiated by people in the relationship between the two companies in cooperation and competition.

Mobil and Shell are currently the largest partners and the strongest competitors.

Many oil giants are secretly watching, waiting for the fight between the two giant crocodiles, wanting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Mobil and Shell are also trying to avoid such a situation, and no matter how open and covert the fight is, it cannot develop into a head-on fight.

Otherwise, once things get out of control, it will never be Shell that will laugh at the end, let alone mobil, and they may even fall off the 'altar' because of this, 'becoming the negative teaching material in corporate training and the glory in people's memories.

What happened at the company's shareholders' meeting, as John Jr. mentioned, almost triggered an all-out war between the two companies.

At the meeting, a minority shareholder representative suddenly challenged the representative assigned by Mobil.

It claims that the cooperation between Mobil and Shell is only to make their money from Europe, and completely control the upstream development opportunities of Shell, so as to turn it into a puppet, and the future intelligence will obey Mobil's orders.

Because if they don't obey, they will lose the upstream oil supply, and then what will they do to deal with it, and how will they continue to compete with them in the market.
