Chapter 3008: I Will Make the Decision for You!

Howard, radiant and surging with excitement, sat in the head seat of the meeting room under everyone's gaze.

Then, looking at the two or three hundred people layered around him, he said with a smile: "Everyone, please sit down!"

Everyone then sat down one after another.

Howard looked at everyone with a smile and said: "This is the first time so many people have come to the family meeting room. I see that many people don't have a formal seat. Originally, I should have convened everyone to meet at the group, so that everyone could be more comfortable. However, I haven't been to the group for the past few days, so I could only invite everyone over. It's really a bit of a neglect and has wronged everyone, so please don't blame me."

"No, no..." A bunch of people from the collateral families hurriedly waved their hands, each full of humility, not daring to show any other expression at all, not even half a hint of fatigue.

They didn't expect that Howard, who had always been very cold to them, would suddenly become so humble, and even carry a bit of kindness.

Howard said with a chuckle at this time: "I called everyone here today to announce a few things. The first thing is that in the future, the Rothschild family has decided to release more opportunities and more benefits to all collateral families who are loyal to the Rothschild family. In the future, everyone's income will definitely increase significantly!"

When everyone heard this, they were instantly excited, cheering and applauding one after another.

No one expected that the old master would be so powerful. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was going to increase their income directly.

Seeing everyone so excited and enthusiastic, Howard smiled and raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then said: "Although you are collateral families of the Rothschilds, you all have inseparable kinship and blood ties with the Rothschild family. Letting you earn more money is also my duty and obligation as the patriarch of the Rothschild family!"

In an instant, thunderous applause rose again.

Howard signaled everyone to stop the applause again and continued: "From now on, I will establish a Clan Liaison Office in the Rothschild family, with my eldest son Steve as the person in charge of this office. In the future, if any collateral family members need help from the Rothschild family, or have any opinions and ideas about cooperative projects, you can come to this Clan Liaison Office to communicate face-to-face."

The members of the collateral families were boiling like thunder when they heard this.

The term 'Clan Liaison Office' was definitely the first time they had heard it.

However, from the name, it could be heard that this office was for enhancing the feelings between the clans.

In the past, they basically had no opportunity to face the core members of the Rothschild family.

If the core members of the Rothschild family were a real estate development company, the vast majority of collateral families were just small subcontractors on the edges. Some families might be responsible for providing lunch boxes for the entire construction site, some families might be responsible for clearing construction waste at the construction site, and some families were responsible for scraping putty for all the rooms. But any large business like construction machinery, commercial concrete, and steel bars would not be handed over to them.

Therefore, the status of these collateral families in the eyes of the main family was actually very low, even worse than family slaves.

Howard suddenly valued them so much, which instantly gave them a strong sense of belonging, making them full of gratitude from subjects to monarchs towards the Rothschild family.

If it were in the past, Howard really wouldn't look down on these relatives, and his tenet had always been to strictly limit the development of these relatives, so as to avoid them offending their superiors, or combining with one of his sons to go against him.

But this time, his perspective on the problem had also undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before.

He wanted to understand one thing: what he really needed to care about now was no longer the future of the Rothschild family, but his own future.

As he got older and older, and unwilling to pass the position of patriarch to his son, it was inevitable that he would arouse his son's dissatisfaction. In the future, which son might want to overthrow or even hollow him out, so he now showed favor to these collateral families first, and by giving up part of the benefits, he would exchange for their absolute support, and he would be safer in the future.

Immediately, he stood up amidst the applause of the crowd and said in high spirits: "From today on, remember, as long as you stand firmly with the Rothschild family, the Rothschild family will definitely not let you suffer, and even more so will not let you be bullied, because we are, a family!"

The applause like a heat wave almost overturned the meeting room.

This time, Howard didn't interrupt the applause again, but watched with a smile, light and breezy. Watching everyone excited and applauding spontaneously made him feel very satisfied.

The applause lasted for an amazing five minutes.

Five minutes later, as the applause gradually subsided, a woman's crying voice suddenly came out: "Mr. Rothschild! Respected patriarch! You must make the decision for me!"

Howard looked in the direction of the sound. In the crowd, a woman around sixty years old was crying into a tearful person among a group of excited people.

Howard, who wanted to win over the collateral families, suddenly became interested. He hurriedly stood up, pointed to the woman, and said with great concern: "What do you need me to make a decision for?! Don't worry, with me here, nothing is a problem!"

Seeing this, everyone stopped applauding and cheering, their eyes switching back and forth between Howard and the woman.

The woman cried and said: "My husband and my son have been missing for a long time. I spent a lot of money, invited many people, and looked for many places, but I couldn't find them. Now I don't know if they are alive or dead. Please help me find them! Please!"

Howard nodded solemnly and asked her: "Don't worry first. Since it's a matter of life and death, the Rothschild family will definitely not stand by! Tell me, which family are you from?"

The woman hurriedly said: "Patriarch, I am from the Hogwitz family, named Jenny Hogwitz. My husband is the son of your cousin Julia. I don't know if you still remember me..."

"Julia..." Howard frowned and thought about it. There did seem to be such a cousin, but after her father inherited the family after his father, she became a collateral family, and after she married, she became the humblest collateral family with a different surname among the collateral families. He wouldn't have any impression of her son.

Although the kinship was a bit distant, Howard still felt that this was a good opportunity to make all collateral families believe in him, so he said: "So it's Julia's daughter-in-law. Jenny, tell me in detail, how did your husband and son go missing?"

Jenny Hogwitz cried and said: "Patriarch, my son Walter Hogwitz was sent to China last year to be responsible for the Hogwitz family's business in China. But not long after he went to China, he went missing in Jin Ling. My husband Steve Hogwitz went to Jin Ling to look for him and also went missing!"

Walter Hogwitz was the scum who poisoned the father of the person in charge of the Dihao Group, Wang Dongxue, a long time ago, and tried to use the kidney source to threaten Wang Dongxue to be his lover and sell the commercial secrets of the Dihao Group.

Now, Walter Hogwitz and his father Steve Hogwitz were locked up in Hong Wu's dog farm.

Howard couldn't think of how this matter would have anything to do with his current gold master even if he had eight brains. As soon as he heard that people were missing and not found, he immediately said with a serious face: "Unreasonable! No matter who it is, anyone who dares to lay a hand on the relatives of my Rothschild family is seeking their own death! Jenny, don't worry! I will definitely make the decision for you!" ===== CHAPTER 3009 =====
