Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

"Going overseas for training?"

When Howard heard what Steve said, he was stunned.

Throughout history, no matter they were kings or nobles, they all faced the same contradiction when it came to the issue of succession. After the reigning father made his favorite child the crown prince, he would instead begin to develop various suspicions and defensive mentalities towards this son.

Their inner monologue is very simple and can be summed up in one sentence: I have decided to pass the position to you, but you can't be in a hurry now.

As soon as their sons show any signs of anxiety, they will immediately enter into another inner monologue: Are you so anxious to take over my position? Are you hoping that I will die soon?

Howard is no exception.

He was also worried that his eldest son was too eager to succeed to the throne and might harbor ill intentions towards him, so he had been doubly wary of Steve since he publicly named him his heir.

However, what he didn't expect was that his eldest son would take the initiative to leave the United States and gain experience abroad. This really touched his heart.

He was willing to pass the position of head of the family to Steve after his death or when he lost his management ability, but that was definitely not now. Now Steve was willing to go out and gain experience, which was a blessing for him.

When his son goes overseas, it is equivalent to leaving the base camp. While he stays in the base camp, he can be the patriarch of his own clan with confidence without worrying that his son will suddenly usurp power one day.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel happy, thinking that his eldest son was indeed filial. Although he was already the first heir to the family, he was not in a hurry to succeed to the throne.

So, he suppressed his joy and asked Steve, "Going overseas for experience is a good thing, but it will definitely be hard. You will be away from home and spend less time with your family, which is also a test. Have you really thought about it?"

"Yes, father. I've thought about it!" Steve answered very straightforwardly and seriously. "Family major decisions are made by father, so there will be no problems. I also want to take advantage of my father's youth and strength to gain more experience and experience outside. I think that the young core members of the Rothschild family can't all stay in the United States to enjoy life. Sometimes, they should go out and take a look. But before, everyone was more greedy for the extravagance of the United States, and no one wanted to leave. I hope that 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 could not help but exclaimed with great relief: "Good! It's agreed! The core members of the Rothschild family should really go around and take a look. Otherwise, if this continues, the family will only go further and further downhill."

Steve's words immediately touched Howard's heart.

Just as he said, none of the core members of the Rothschild family wants to leave the United States.

As for why, Howard naturally knew it very well. The entire family was like a gold mountain, and this gold mountain was in the United States. Everyone wanted to guard the gold mountain. Not only would they have the opportunity to make a fortune at any time, but even if the person sitting on the gold mountain died one day, everyone could immediately rush to grab the wealth on the gold mountain.

In this case, leaving Kingsoft and going overseas for a long time is equivalent to giving up the opportunity to get a share of Kingsoft's profits.

As the patriarch, Howard often does not want his brothers and descendants to stay with him.

The same was true for the emperors in ancient times. Anyone with too many sons would feel a chill down his spine. So they would drive those adult sons out of the capital, make them kings in various places, monitor their every move, and use other princes to check and balance them, so that they would behave themselves and not dare to act recklessly.

But the Rothschild family is not a royal family after all.

They do not have the strict rules and hierarchy of feudal society. In addition, during World War II, the Rothschild family suffered many massacres and looting overseas. Since then, the core members of the Rothschild family have begun to retreat to the United States. At first, they retreated, but later, no one wanted to leave.

Now, Steve took the initiative to leave the United States. This was a good example for Howard. As long as Steve left the United States, he could let other uncontrollable descendants go overseas for experience, and eventually send all the threatening people around him away.

So he said to Steve, "After we return to the United States, I will hold a family meeting and announce your decision at the meeting. You should also explain it to others and set an example for them."

Steve said without hesitation: "Dad, don't worry, I will!"

Howard nodded and asked him, "By the way, Steve, if you were to go abroad for experience, which country would you most like to go to?"

Steve's only goal 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 worth my in-depth understanding and in-depth cultivation are the European and Asian markets. Apart from that, Africa is too poor, Oceania is too small, and South America doesn't have much development prospects."

"That's right." Howard agreed. "Except for the United States, the countries ranked second to eighth in the world are all in Asia and Europe. Africa doesn't even have a country that can rank in the top 30. As the heir of the Rothschild family, you naturally have to choose a market second only to the United States."

Steve hurriedly said: "If that's the case, then China is the most suitable. After all, it is the second largest economy in the world."

"Yes!" Howard nodded and said, "China's development speed and potential are indeed unmatched. Arranging the second-in-command of the Rothschild family to China to personally take charge of the business is enough to demonstrate our emphasis on the Chinese market. It may help to significantly increase our business in China!"

Steve immediately took over the conversation and said, "Father, since you said so, then I will go to China! Our family office in Asia was previously located in Singapore. I think we can simultaneously set up a new family office in mainland China, and I will be directly responsible for it."

Howard agreed without hesitation and said, "No problem. You will be fully responsible for this matter. After the family office is established, the family will provide you with an additional 50 billion US dollars of exclusive funds to develop the family's business in China! You will have full control over this money!"

Howard now loves his son very much. As long as he doesn't think about the position of the patriarch, he can hand over all the overseas family offices of the Rothschild family to him for full responsibility and management. What's more, all he wants is to set up a new family office in mainland China.

The $50 billion was nothing to the Rothschild family. Howard had already made plans in his mind. Of the $50 billion, the Rothschild family would contribute $25 billion themselves, and then take out another $25 billion from the fund managed by the family.

In other words, half of the money given to Steve for trial and error should be contributed by others. If there is a profit, 25% of the total profit will be distributed to them, and they can also get another 25% of additional profit. If there is a loss, then they can be regarded as sharing the risk with the Rothschild family. Anyway, they have invested in countless projects with Rothschild over the years. Some projects have made profits and some have lost money, but the overall rate of return is still considerable. These investors are also very shrewd. The share of 1 billion US dollars will be distributed to each investor. Compared with the trillion-dollar pool of funds, if the loss of billion US dollars is evenly distributed, the loss of each investor is only %, and no one will care.

Steve was also very happy. Fifty billion US dollars was already a very considerable amount of money. It seemed that his father felt that he had performed very well this time. Fifty billion US dollars was the start-up capital given by the ancient emperor when he drove his son out to be a lord. By then, he could be the head of his family in the United States with peace of mind, while he could go to China, where the country was high and the emperor was far away, and get close to Ye Chen and pave the way for becoming the head of the family in the future. In this way, the father and son could get what they needed and everyone would be happy.

So he immediately said loudly: "Don't worry, father. I will not let you down! I will go all out to help our business in China reach new heights!"
