Chapter 0096 Glory will eventually decline 3/20(1/2)
Li Zitao opened his mouth, and was just thinking about whether he should get a sterilization in seconds, when he saw her smile suddenly spread, and he said playfully: "Happy April Fool's Day, boss."
"..." It was such a god-like April Fool's Day that Li Zitao felt completely bad.
"My mother wants to hit someone right now. She really wants to." Returning to Area 22 with a depressed look on his face, Li Zitao pulled Hans for a while to 'warm up.'
What he wanted to find the most was Wang Dagou, but who knew that he happened to be absent, so he had to deal with the most powerful instructor Hans.
bang bang bang
There was a fierce collision on the training ground. Hans had no intention of holding back and tried his best with every punch.
Having had many sparring experiences with Li Zitao, he understands one truth very well: "Before the boss loses his strength, you can throw as many punches as you want. If you punch more than two punches, you have earned it."
Boom!
A heavy punch hit his arms in front of him, and Hans flew backwards as usual, rubbing his arms with a wry smile on his face.
Although it felt a little tingling, he knew that this was considered gentle, otherwise he could just buy a ticket to go back to country D to see an orthopedic surgeon, forget about rubbing his arm.
"Where did Jack go?" The bandaged fists were swinging randomly in the air, and the sound of "whooshing" could be heard with every blow.
Every time he competes with others, he cannot use his full strength. Li Zitao can only fully unleash his monster-like power when he plays with the air.
"The chief instructor took people to Mexico, and someone there found out about the woman who cheated Lawrence before." Hans wiped his cold sweat and said.
To be honest, he was under a lot of pressure standing next to Li Zitao, and he was afraid that the air-blasting fist would hit him on the forehead with a 'whoosh'.
"Woman?" Li Zitao stopped, moved his shoulders and said, "Laura?"
"That's her." Hans nodded and said.
"You are really persistent. I thought you all gave up on the investigation." Li Zitao lowered his head and took off the bandage and said.
"..."Brother, you are teasing me!
Didn't you personally give the order to bring that woman back?
"Jesse." Seeing Li Zitao waving to the little elk, Hans left knowingly.
When the two of them were sparring just now, he saw several new students snickering, "Hey, I can't defeat the big devil, but I can still give you a taste of iron fist."
"Has anything happened recently?" The secretary's office is responsible for connecting with think tanks and the industries under his name, and it is also his other pair of eyes.
"Ah~ nothing happened!" the little elk said while blinking.
"..." Damn it, Li Zitao felt that if he faced her every day, he would lose ten years of his life.
“What’s going on in think tanks lately?”
"Oh!" He lowered his head and pulled out a palm-sized notepad inlaid with gems in his small satchel. The little elk said seriously: "The stock market continues to absorb the company's shares. McDonald's franchise rights are open and are under preliminary review.
Ace Energy…”
Looking at the thumb-sized emerald on the notepad, Li Zitao's eyes twitched.
You’re so fucking bloated that you’re boundless. The pen your boss uses only costs $7. Look at you again. Even your notepad is inlaid with gems...
After listening to the report from the Inflated Deer, Li Zitao found that there was no discrepancy with the report from the think tank. The only difference was that the think tank did not mention that Roosevelt had been to Chicago.
And he didn't come alone, he also brought in another member, Jonathan Feidi Astor, who came from a declining family.
The Astor family, once the richest man in the world, American fur tycoons and real estate tycoons.
Since Astor I accumulated huge wealth through fur and foreign import and export trade, the Astor family has been one of the most famous families in the United States.
His family once had a monopoly on the North American and European fur trade.
When Astor I was in his sixtieth year, he foresaw that the developing New York would become the world's top city in the future.
So this shrewd old man, who had single-handedly built his family into a famous family, ended all his businesses and used all his money to purchase land in Manhattan.
I have to admit that this old man is a bit clever, and he immediately hit the jackpot. The speed of Manhattan's development shocked the families who had been waiting to see the joke.
Astor II became the famous "King of New York." How rich was the Astor family at that time?
The family owns more than a thousand stores and residences in New York, and its family prestige has risen to its peak.
There was a time when if you wanted to enter the upper class of America, no matter what kind of steel king, railroad king, or oil king you were, you had to first obtain the approval of the Astor family.
When the family reached the third generation, some conflicts arose that were inevitable among wealthy families, so the whole family left country y, and the whole family returned to country d.
The lineage that controls the greatest wealth remains in the United States, namely Astor IV.
At this time, the Astor family was still in its heyday, and the fourth generation was a qualified heir and leader of the family.
Unfortunately, this shrewd and courageous successor was a bit unlucky.
When it comes to the Titanic, everyone must know that Astor IV was one of the financial donors to this palace on the sea.
Then……
"The ship is built, bosses, come and install it!" the shipping company shouted enthusiastically.
Wow…
A group of rich people got on the boat.
The final result was just like the previous history, the ship hit an iceberg.
I wonder if anyone remembers that in the movie "Titanic", when the ship was about to sink, the old gentleman who refused to get on the ship was actually Astor IV.
Of course, the reality was not that he refused to get on the ship, but that after he put his wife and children on the ship, there was no room on the ship.
With Astor IV's wealth and influence at the time, he could have asked the crew to 'invite' the next lady to 'voluntarily give up her seat'.
But instead of doing that, he decided to wait for the next lifeboat.
I have to admire the old man’s awareness on this point, it was really incredible for those days!!
Unfortunately, time was not kind to him. The huge steel hull sank, and the whirlpool rolled up killed Artus IV.
Artes IV is dead, but the family legacy is still there, and his wealth has not been affected at all. Not to mention the fluctuations in land prices, just collecting rent is enough to make the world crazy.
Next, ahem, let’s hit the blackboard and mark the key points!
"Who is better than me as a little expert in committing suicide!!"
Vincent Astor, the eldest son of King IV, is also his designated heir to the family.
How can I describe the character of this eldest son?
Extreme, cowardly, inferior, a luxurious trip, my dad is gone.
When I get home again, I'll be the head of the family.
"I, Astor, make money!" The young man suddenly swelled.
I want to start a business, I want to rise up, I want to stand side by side with the sun, let those of you who look down on me see my talent and power, Vincent.
The biggest catalyst here is his stepmother. This stepmother escaped death and returned to the United States. When she opened the will and took a look, mmp!
I'm actually getting such a small amount of property, you stingy old man, come on, come on, sit up for me, let's have a good chat!
It is impossible to sit up. Can you sit up if there are no people?
So the unwilling stepmother spread the word that Vincent was a waste and that he had no ability to maintain the glory of the Astor family, let alone achieve anything.
If you don’t accept it, young man, go ahead!
Starting a business requires capital. The Astor family's cash is limited, and most of the funds are under the control of family trusts. Vincent can't move them even if he wants to.
But it doesn't matter, there are many ways to commit suicide.
What is the most important thing about the Astor family? Land, I am the land king of New York.
Selling the land, well...it was such a happy decision.
He sold the prime location in Times Center for $2.37 million.
He also sold the high-end apartment on Park Avenue for $1.88 million.
The land where the Empire State Building is being built was sold by him for US$7.65 million.
Sell, sell, sell, and the little expert who committed suicide got 40 million US dollars in one fell swoop.
You have the funds, come on, let’s do it!
Hiccup, I'm sorry.
Hiccup, I lost again.
Li Zitao didn't know what the Astor family was thinking. If he were Astor IV, he might not be able to hold the coffin board in place.
"I've left you such a big business, but you've almost lost it all in three to five years." The heroic spirit Astor IV was slaughtered with blood.
Seeing that his business failed, young Vincent became depressed: "My family doesn't support me, my stepmother criticizes me every day, and my wife still doesn't understand me. I need a divorce!"
You must know that for wealthy families, divorce is an expensive matter.
When Vincent got divorced, a quarter of his family property was divided.
Who makes this guy rich and willful? He never plays with prenuptial agreements. "We are true love."
When a newbie starts, he must be very passionate. This second wife understands and supports Vincent very much, knowing that the young man wants to become an "Internet celebrity."
