Ace of the Dragon Division

In the family meeting room.

Harper sat in the corner without saying a word.

At this time, it is usually the young people in the family who report their great achievements and income.

Of course, there are also those who are criticized. For example, family members whose investments fail will be exploited for their investment funds and temporarily thrown into the cold palace.

After looking at the account book, the patriarch looked around everyone, and then said: Harriman manages the city of Dubai, focusing on tourism. This quarter's revenue brought five billion US dollars to the family. During these five billion years, he If he takes away 1 billion, you must follow his example and don’t idle around all day long.”

Having said this, the old patriarch glanced at Habo, somewhat blaming the third son for being so angry with him.

Hubble, I heard that you like to collect strange antiques all day long and spend money lavishly. Have you made any profits from your investments?

Haber hurriedly replied: Father, we are not profitable yet. It will take some time to ferment.

The younger generation has begun to bring more or less income to the family. What are you doing these days? Instead of spending the savings given to you, why not use it to invest in the construction of Dubai City for your eldest brother, or engage in trade, I heard You spent 1 billion US dollars to give others a project (Xucheng Underground Base) for free a year ago? Is this true?

Haber reported: Father, indeed, he is a good friend of mine. I can't get money from him.

Hmph! Harper's eldest brother Harriman sneered after hearing this: You are quite generous. You just spent one billion US dollars like this. In the past few years, you also spent more than one billion collecting calligraphy, paintings and antiques. I'm afraid you have spent money these years. You spent a lot of money, right? What kind of friend of yours doesn’t even care about 1 billion?

It's good luck. I did him a favor. This friend was very kind and gave me a gift. I just wanted to give it to my father. Haber said, standing up from his seat and walking towards his father, the old patriarch. Next to him, he took out an exquisite box made of pure gold from his sleeve.

Father, do you think it's worth it for me to spend 1 billion to get this thing from him?

After the old patriarch opened the box, he saw the potion that Xu Cheng had given to Ha Bo. His face suddenly changed slightly, and then he flushed and became a little excited.

He was getting old, and after the Datura potion fermented, he regretted missing the potion, but Datura had not auctioned off new potions for two years.

This is real?

Every potion bottle has a date and code on the bottom. If one is missing, it will be gone. Haber smiled slightly.

You want to give it to me? the old patriarch asked him in surprise.

Of course I want to give it to my father. If I wanted to use it, I would have used it long ago. Haber stopped taking the box and turned around to sit back in his seat.

The old patriarch was very satisfied in his heart and carefully put the box into his bag. Then he pondered for a moment and said: Hubo, there are many vacancies in the family that need help. Since you are free, please help your brother more. .”

Haber said: Father, I want to start a project of my own and need funds. I plan to convert all my assets and invest them all.

Is it a waste of money? Harriman sneered. He couldn't stand those members of the family who were just waiting to die, including the idle Haber.

Your assets can be converted into nearly 10 billion US dollars. Isn't that enough? the old patriarch asked.

It's not enough. Harper said straightforwardly: It's far from enough. I need my family to support me with 50 billion U.S. dollars to do this project.

You're crazy! Harriman slapped the table directly and said: The total assets of the family are less than 200 billion. This is the wealth accumulated over more than ten years. You are going to take 30% of it with just one sentence! What do you think? Is it possible? We still owe foreign debts, and Abu Dhabi is also our God of Wealth. If you ruin it now, and there will be a debt crisis in the future, where will you find the money to make up for it?

More than fifty children of important officials in the family looked at Habo curiously, feeling that he must be crazy for daring to open such a hole.

Even Harriman, the candidate for the next patriarch, cannot misappropriate more than 10 billion. He actually asked for 50 billion. Only a madman dares to ask for such a price.

The old patriarch gave up and didn't seem to be in a hurry. He looked at Haber and asked, What project makes you so cruel to do it?

Harriman: No matter what project we do, even if we open a casino for smuggling, we can't take so much money. It's too risky. We have already had a hard time chasing our neighbor Abu Dhabi's consortium. If the assets shrink further, we will have to pay for it in the entire emirate. From the second child to the third child!

Habo didn't speak, his face was calm and calm, and he allowed his elder brother to complain.

Grandpa, I don't agree with Uncle Harper's risky investment. Suddenly, a younger generation of descendants came out to support Harriman against Harper.

Yes, grandfather, in the future my father will need more funds to build facilities around Dubai. At this time, large-scale funds will be used, and I am afraid that he will be short of funds by then. You also said that the appearance of Dubai is our top priority at present. It’s better to focus on tourism.”

Tourism is indeed the foundation of our family, but if you give me two months, I will only borrow two months. Haber looked at everyone and then at the patriarch: In two months, I will return 60 billion to the family !”

You fart! Harriman snorted: What project can you do to get 10 billion in two months? The annual tourism revenue of Dubai is about 20 billion, and you can recover 10 billion in two months?

If I can't do it, I will leave the family. In addition, I don't want the lifetime dividends from the family! Haber said loudly.

The elder gave up and said, Son, you are impulsive. You can't make the decision on this matter. You have to ask your wife and children.

They have no objections. Haber said: They are willing to work with me. Now that I have spoken out today, I have no intention of giving up this project. Dad, you have always trained your eldest brother as the best successor in the family. I No objection, but any big family that has been around for generations cannot revolve around just one person, as that would be the greatest risk. I also want to share it for my family.

The old patriarch looked at him and asked after a long time: What are you going to do?

Buy crude oil, Harper said simply.

After saying that, everyone in the audience laughed.

Harriman smiled and leaned on the table: I also have crude oil at home. Do I want to sell it to you at a low price? Hmm? How about I sell you my entire crude oil production for a month?

Okay, I'll take it at a 5% discount above the market price.

Okay. Harriman said: Anyone who has crude oil shares at home can sell their crude oil to you. Let me see what you want to do!

The other heirs all smiled.

I'll sell it all to you, Uncle Huber. Take it as much as you want. You can keep the money on credit. You can settle it later and give it to us.

Although their crude oil reserves only account for 10% of the entire United Arab Emirates, it is still a lot. Haber thought that he would not waste it.

Harriman: But if you lose money on these oils and you can pay everyone within two months, then use your family's dividend equity in exchange for the compensation.

Okay. Haber said, then looked at the patriarch: Father, then I will borrow another 30 billion US dollars. If I cannot hand over the money within two months, I will put my life on the line here!

Everyone was in an uproar.

When did Harper play so hard?

Suffocating the brave to death and starving the timid to death, Haber felt like he was already in his fifties. If he wasn't crazy, he would have no chance.

So, follow the madman for a while.
