Chapter: 6190

Howard said with a smile: "I called everyone here today to announce a few things. The first thing is that the Roschild family has decided to release more opportunities and benefits to all loyal peripheral families of the Roschild family in the future, which will definitely lead to a significant increase in your income!"

When people heard this news, they were immediately excited and couldn't help but shout with joy and applause.

No one expected that the old master would be so generous, and as soon as he spoke, he directly wanted to raise their income.

Howard looked at everyone with such enthusiasm and excitement, his face beaming with a smile as he extended his hand to signal for everyone to calm down. Then he said, "Although you are all peripheral families of the Roschild family, you have an unbreakable bond with the Roschild family through blood ties and kinship. Letting you earn more is not only my responsibility but also my duty as the patriarch of the Roschild family!"

Instantly, thunderous applause erupted again.

Howard signaled everyone to stop clapping and continued to say, "In the future, I will establish a Patriarchal Office in the Roschild family, with my eldest son Steve taking charge. From then on, if any member of the peripheral families needs assistance from the Roschild family or has opinions and ideas about cooperative projects, they can come directly to this office to communicate face-to-face."

The peripheral family members heard these words and were immediately boiling over like a thunderstorm.

The Patriarchal Office was a completely new concept for them.

However, it could be inferred that this office was established to improve the emotional bond between kinsmen.

Before, they basically had no opportunities to meet with the core members of the Roschild family face-to-face.

If the core members of the Roschild family were an real estate development company, most peripheral families would only be small contractors responsible for tasks such as providing canteen services on construction sites. Some might be in charge of clearing away building waste, while others might be responsible for cleaning windows and doors for entire buildings. Anything major like machinery, concrete, or steel reinforcement would not be entrusted to them.

So, these peripheral families actually held a very low status in the eyes of the main family, even lower than household servants.

Howard's sudden emphasis on them now gave them a strong sense of belonging, filling them with gratitude towards the Roschild family as loyal subjects.

If this were in the past, Howard would have looked down on these relatives, and his purpose has always been to strictly limit their development, lest they act presumptuously or form alliances with one of his sons against him.

But this time, he views the issue from a different angle, which is a complete turnaround from before.

He wants to understand something - what he truly needs to care about now is no longer the future of the Roschild family, but his own future.

As he grows older and unwilling to pass on the mantle of leadership to his sons, he will inevitably spark their discontent. In the future, one of his sons might even think of overthrowing or undermining him, so he needs to win over these peripheral families now by offering them a portion of the benefits in exchange for their absolute support, ensuring his safety in the future.

He then stood up from where he was sitting amidst thunderous applause, full of enthusiasm and confidence saying, "From today onwards, remember this - as long as you stand firm with the Roschild family, they will never let you down or treat you unfairly. Because we are one family!"

Like a wave of heat, the applause almost brought the meeting room crashing down.

This time, Howard did not interrupt the applause but instead smiled and looked at the crowd, who were excitedly clapping their hands without stopping, filling him with great satisfaction.

The applause was astonishingly sustained for five minutes.

Five minutes later, as the applause gradually died down, a woman's sobbing suddenly echoed through the room: "Mr. Roschild! Esteemed patriarch of our clan! Please do something for me!"

Howard looked up in response and gazed at a woman in her early sixties, who had burst into tears among the excited crowd.

The woman's voice trembled as she said, "My husband and son have been missing for a very long time. I've spent a lot of money, hired many people, and searched many places, but couldn't find them. Now, I don't even know if they're alive or dead. Please help me find them! Please!"

Howard's expression turned solemn as he nodded, asking her not to rush into anything. He told her that since it was a matter of life and death, the Roschild family would definitely get involved. He asked her, "You are from which clan?" JrNovels.com
