4185. Chapter 4185 Promote Strengths and Avoid Weaknesses

What does this family represent to these members of the Saul family?

Is it honor?

Maybe a little bit.

After all, their ancestors joined forces with the ancestors of other high-ranking families to create the neutral cosmic country 'Kalembert'. From the historical merits of this cosmic country, the ancestors of each of their high-ranking families are undoubtedly great.

But over the centuries, this sense of honor has long since faded away.

For most of the upper-level family members now, the greatest significance of the family to them is to bring them this innate privilege and a luxurious life that ordinary people can't even imagine.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

Not to mention the people who have started to enjoy a luxurious life from the moment they were born.

You tell them that their wealth will become less and less, and I am afraid that they will not be able to continue their current life in the future, so they will definitely not accept it.

The quarterly income of the family business managed by Lorraine is somewhat unreliable. Thinking about it carefully, they seem to have heard of this before.

It's just that at that time, the income of most of their Sol family's industries was very high, and Lorraine managed only a small part of the industry after all, so no one took this matter to heart.

After all, this is not something they need to worry about. As long as the money is in place, the management of the family business can be left to the patriarch to worry about.

But now it is different, the patriarch is dead.

This caused a huge question to be thrown in front of them all at once, that is, who should take over the family business.

At first, as the elder brother of the former patriarch, Lorraine Sol wanted to take over the power of the family, and the family members had no idea.

After all, the position of the patriarch must have fallen to the immediate family members.

And the members of this generation are basically the only ones headed by their three brothers, including the former patriarch.

After the death of the former patriarch, the third child, Gawain Sol, had no ability to compete at all. The second child, Robert Sol, the son of the former patriarch, was an illegitimate child. Not to mention the immediate family members looked down on him, even those collateral relatives. , and also gossip behind their backs.

After all this, isn't it only Lorraine Sol left?

But in this link, due to the former patriarch's sole power, the other branch members who lacked a comprehensive understanding of the family industry did not immediately realize whether Lorin Sol's personal abilities were qualified.

I just know that Lorraine Sol still manages a group of family businesses for a long time, and his management ability will not be bad no matter how bad it is.

As a result, the data pulled out by Robert was slapped in the face. Once compared, many people were immediately shaken.

And Robert chased after the victory, directly pasting the income of the part of the industry he managed to the side of those industries in Lorraine, and made a dazzling comparison picture.

It has been said before that Robert has management skills, and even the management skills he showed are higher than his father's.

Although the shares he previously held were always less than that of Lorraine, the number of family properties he had managed for a long time was more than three times that of Lorraine.

For each industry, the average quarterly earnings are basically above the average of all family-owned industries.

In addition, some of the industries that Robert focuses on are more frequent customers in the top five or even top three quarterly revenue in the family-owned industries, and they have won the first place several times.

This contrast can only be said to be too stark.

In the process, Robert actually used a means of stealing the concept.

The purpose of this family meeting at the beginning was actually to elect a new patriarch, but Robert didn't mention it at all, but quietly transformed it into 'who should manage the family business'. question.

If he were to focus on the topic of 'new patriarch', it would be very unfavorable for him as an illegitimate child.

But once it turns to the question of 'who should manage the family business'.

Then the focus of everyone's thinking will be unconsciously shifted from bloodline and identity to management ability and earning ability.

In this respect, Robert's advantage is almost overwhelming.

In a high-ranking family like the Sol family, the family industry and the patriarch are themselves tied together.

In other words, as long as the family business falls into Robert's hands, then Robert is equivalent to mastering the real power and lifeline of the Sol family.

Under this premise, it doesn't matter who sits on the patriarch's seat.

If you don't have real power, you won't be able to take that position. In the end, it's not me who has the final say?

By the way, although Lorraine was judged by the former patriarch as having good eyes and low skills, and his management skills were mediocre, he was actually not that bad.

Among the industries he manages, there are two industries that have monopoly and can make money with almost closed eyes, but it is true that Lorraine manages not only these two industries.

Except for two excellent industries, other industries are relatively average, and even some are quite poor.

The industries that made money subsidized those that didn't. After going through this, the total income of the industry managed by Lorraine was not pulled into a touching position?

Although what Robert said before is true, it also used some verbal skills to some extent.

At this moment, Robert's sharp words, coupled with the increasingly loud chorus in the conference room, made Lorraine angry and fainted on the spot.

Lorraine's fainting caused a commotion, and at the same time ended the meeting.

From the perspective of 'making ability', Robert has already won the support of most of the members of the Sol family.

After the crowd ended, Gawain walked over lazily.

Seeing this, Robert nodded slightly, and then thanked him softly.

Needless to say, it was Gawain who took the lead in shouting at that time.

Even after thinking about it carefully, and moving forward, it was Gao Wen who used his laughter to control the situation in time and didn't let the scene completely get out of control.

The third child of the Sol family is probably not as simple as it seems.

Facing Robert's thanks, Gawain laughed.

"Don't thank me, I'm doing it for myself too. Lorraine is not that material. If the property of our Sol family is ruined by him, wouldn't I have no money to spend?"

Having said this, Gawain's expression suddenly turned positive.

"Then what, after you take over the family business, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Hearing this, Robert tensed his nerves slightly.

"Please say."

"After you take the position, can you give me 200 million in advance?"

"Two hundred million? What do you want to do?"

Their high-ranking family, although the wealth is amazing, but 200 million is not a small amount, which makes Robert a little bit confused about Gawain's thoughts.

And just when he thought so, Gawain spoke up...

"I lost all my money when I made a movie before. I fell in love with a super-large luxury spaceship. I wanted to buy it for a party, but now I have paid a deposit, and I have no money to pay the balance."
