Steve said very sincerely: "Father, in the past many years, I have rarely left the United States. I feel that I do not understand the world structure well enough. For a long time to come, I want to spend at least half of my time abroad every year. Experience and experience, in this case, I may not be able to care about the affairs of the United States, so I have to worry about you and the rest of the family. I wonder if you agree? "
"Going to experience overseas?"
Howard was stunned when he heard Steve say this.
Throughout the ages, princes and nobles have faced the same contradictions when it comes to passing on the throne. After a reigning father establishes his favorite child as a prince, he begins to have various suspicions and defensiveness towards his son.
Their inner monologue is very simple, and can be summed up in one sentence: I have decided to pass my seat to you, but you can't rush now.
Once their son shows any signs of anxiety, they will immediately enter another inner monologue: Are you so anxious to take over my position because you hope that I will die soon?
Howard is certainly no exception.
He was also worried that his eldest son would be too eager to succeed and would have evil intentions for him, so he had been doubly wary of Steve since he publicly named him his heir.
However, what he didn't expect was that this eldest son would take the initiative to leave the United States and go to experience outside. This spoke to his heart.
He is willing to pass the position of head of the family to Steve after his death or after he loses his management ability, but that is definitely not now. And now Steve is willing to go outside to gain experience, which is a great thing for him.
When his son goes overseas, it means he has left the base camp. If he sits in the base camp, he can be his own patriarch without having to worry that his son will suddenly usurp power one day.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He felt that his eldest son was really filial. Although he was already the first heir of the family, he was not in a hurry to succeed to the throne.
So, he suppressed the joy in his heart and asked Steve: "Although it is a good thing to go overseas for experience, it will definitely be harder. When you go out and spend less time with your family, it is also a test. Have you really considered it?" ?"
"Yes, father, I have thought about it!" Steve answered very simply and said seriously: "Father will make all the important decisions in the family, so there will be no problems. And I also want to take advantage of my father's still being young and strong to make the most of it." There is more experience and accumulation outside. I feel that the young core members of the Rothschild family cannot all stay in the United States and enjoy life. Sometimes, they also need to go outside and see. But before, everyone was more greedy for the United States. It�s a place where no one wants to leave. I hope I can set an example this time and let more young people go out and see the outside world.�
Howard looked at his son and saw that he was not joking. He couldn't help but exclaimed with great relief: "Okay! As promised! The core members of the Rothschild family should really go and have a look around. Otherwise, if this continues, The family will only go downhill further and further.�
Steve's words suddenly entered Howard's heart.
As he said, none of the core members of the Rothschild family wanted to leave the United States.
As for why, Howard naturally knows it very well. The entire family is like a golden mountain, and this golden mountain is in the United States. Everyone wants to guard the golden mountain, not only to have the opportunity to make a fortune at any time, but also to sit on the golden mountain one day. If the person above dies, everyone can immediately rob the wealth on Jinshan Mountain.
In this case, leaving Jinshan to go overseas for a long time is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to get a piece of Jinshan.
As the patriarch, Howard often does not want his brothers and grandchildren to stay with him.
The emperors in ancient times were not like this. If there were too many sons around them, everyone would get chills in their backs. They would drive those adult sons out of the capital, send them to various places to make kings, monitor their every move, and then use other princes to make them kings. By checking and balancing each other, we can keep them honest and not dare to mess around.
However, the Rothschild family is not a royal family after all.
They do not have the strict rules and hierarchies of feudal society. In addition, during World War II, the Rothschild collateral family encountered many massacres and plunders overseas. So since then, the core members of the Rothschild family have They all began to shrink in the United States. At first, they shrank, and then, no one was able to leave.
Now, Steve takes the initiative to leave the United States. This is a good example for Howard. As long as Steve leaves the United States, he can let other uncontrollable descendants go overseas to experience, and finally eliminate those who are threatening around him. Send them all away.
So, he said to Steve: "After we return to the United States, I will hold a family meeting. At that time, you will announce your decision at the meeting. You should also explain it to others and set an example for them."
Steve said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Dad, I will do it!"
Howard nodded and asked him: "By the way, Steve, if you want to go overseas for training, which country would you most like to go to?"
The only goal in Steve's heart was China, but he didn't want to express it too directly, so he thought for a moment and said: "Father, my idea is that the markets that are worthy of my in-depth understanding and in-depth cultivation are the European market and the Asian market. , In addition, Africa is too poor, Oceania is too small, and South America does not have much development prospects.�
"That's true." Howard said in agreement: "Except for the United States, the second to eighth countries in the world are all in Asia and Europe. There is not even a single country in Africa that can be ranked in the top thirty. As Rothchild, The heirs of the German family will naturally choose a market second only to the United States."
Steve hurriedly said: "If this is the case, then China is the most suitable. After all, it is the second largest economy in the world."
"Yeah!" Howard nodded and said, "China's development speed and potential are indeed unmatched. Arranging the second-in-command of the Rothschild family to work in China is enough to show that we attach great importance to the Chinese market. Maybe it can help our business in China grow significantly!�
Steve immediately took over and said: "Father, since you said so, let me go to China! Our family office in Asia was previously located in Singapore. I think we can simultaneously establish a new one in mainland China." I will be directly responsible for the family office.�
Howard agreed without hesitation and said cheerfully: "No problem, I will leave it to you to take full responsibility for this matter. After the family office is established, the family will provide you with an additional US$50 billion in exclusive funds for It�s up to you to start your family�s business in China!�
Howard likes his son very much now. As long as he doesn't think about his position as the patriarch, he can give him full responsibility and management of all the overseas family offices of the Rothschild family, not to mention that he wants to The only thing is to establish a new family office in mainland China.
Fifty billion U.S. dollars is nothing to the Rothschild family. Howard has already planned in his heart that of the 50 billion U.S. dollars, the Rothschild family will provide 25 billion from the family itself. He also spent 25 billion on the fund he was responsible for managing.
In other words, half of the money given to Steve for trial and error should be paid by other people. When they make a profit, 25% of the total profit will be given to them, and they can get another 25% of the additional profit. If they lose, then they will be considered as sharing the risk for the Rothschild family. Anyway, they have invested in countless projects with the Rothschilds over the years. The projects have made profits and losses, but the overall rate of return is still considerable. These investors also They are all very smart. The share of 25 billion U.S. dollars will be distributed to each investor. Compared with a capital pool with a scale of trillions, the loss of 25 billion U.S. dollars will be evenly distributed to each investor. The loss is only 1%, no one will care.
Steve was also very happy. Fifty billion U.S. dollars was already a very considerable amount of money. Presumably, his father felt that he performed very well this time. Fifty billion U.S. dollars was given to him as an ancient emperor when he kicked his son out to become a lord. With the start-up capital, he can be the head of his family in the United States with peace of mind. He will go to China to get close to Ye Chen and pave the way for becoming the head of the family in the future. In this way, both father and son can take their own benefits. Whatever you need, everyone is happy.
So, he immediately said loudly: "Father, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations! Go all out to bring our business in China to new heights!" JrNovels.com
