"Dear Kang, do you think we can successfully obtain the position of head of the family this time?"
Goodkang looked at the starry sky, heard his wife's words, turned around and gave Lina an affirmative look.
"Lina, I am still very confident about this. I believe that the old guys in the family will be very shocked after seeing the Water of Life." Goodkang looked at the suitcase beside him with great affection. The suitcase contained a bottle of Water of Life.
"Dear Kang, there is one more thing I want to discuss with you. You took out the Water of Life this time. After everyone in the family has witnessed its magic, I am worried that someone will inquire about the person behind the Water of Life. Should we tell Huo Qiqi?" Lina reminded worriedly.
Gu Dekang didn't say anything, but paced around the room. After thinking for a while, he said seriously, "We can't tell anyone that the Water of Life belongs to Huo Qiqi. Huo Qiqi is too weak now. If anyone in the family wants to deal with her, she will be in danger.
Moreover, I don't want other family members to get in touch with Huo Qiqi. I found this project, and I can only be the final co-executor. If other family members intervene, our interests may be lost.
If someone really asks, and you have to tell them, tell them that the Water of Life comes from a mysterious family in China, and that the prerequisite for them to cooperate is not to disturb their peaceful life, otherwise the cooperation will end."
Seeing Lina nod seriously, Gu Dekang thought for a moment and continued, "Lina, there's one more thing that needs to be kept secret for now, which is the percentage of the Water of Life. I'm worried that the family won't agree to such a low percentage. If anyone asks, just tell them that each share will be 200 million Hong Kong dollars, that's all."
When Mr. and Mrs. Goodkang returned to their family after a long journey, the rest of the family came back one after another.
"Gudekang, you loser, how dare you come back? Back then, your father Gudejun ran for the position of head of the family without knowing how high the heavens were. Although he failed, we have to admit that he was also a man of some importance. Now, you loser, what can you use to compete with my brother?" A short and fat man in his thirties mocked the Gudekangs mercilessly.
Goodkang did not speak to this person. He knew that this person was just a pawn. The real enemy had not yet made a move. He had to reveal his trump card at the critical moment. That was his only chance to turn the tables.
After Gudekang and Lina returned home, they were met by someone who startled Gudekang. Seeing his father at home, Gudekang was still a little shocked. "Great, Dad, you're back. Didn't you say before that you wouldn't be able to make it to the election for the head of the family?"
"Gudekang, someone deliberately plotted against me before, preventing me from coming back. It cost me a huge price to come back this time." Gudejun said with lingering fear.
"Let's not talk about my own affairs. Did you gain anything from this trip to the East?" Gu Dejun asked expectantly.
"Father, I want to know why you failed in the election for the head of the family?" Gu Dekang really wanted to know the truth of this matter. He needed to understand what methods the enemy would use.
Upon hearing this, Gu Dejun fell into memories.
Like you, I found a fantastic project in the far east, in China. It could bring enormous economic benefits to my family. Back then, I was too naive, and under the false pretenses of Gu Decai, I inadvertently leaked the news. I never imagined that Gu Decai would travel thousands of miles, bypassing me, to contact my partners. When his offer of bribes failed, he murdered them. I clearly remember that the three men were named Gu, Xia, and Chen. What a shame for the loss of three such brilliant individuals.
Gu Decai is the current head of the family. The one who was mocking them at the family gate must be Gu Decai’s youngest son.
"Father, I believe we will succeed this time. As for the project, please allow me to keep it secret for now."
Looking at Gu Dekang's confident look, Gu Dejun was very satisfied. If he hadn't been able to control his mouth, he wouldn't have lost his position as the head of the family.
"By the way, father, I owe a sum of money for this cooperation, 500 million francs."
After hearing this figure, Gu Dejun was still very confused and asked: "What's going on? How do you owe so much? Don't you have 100 million francs? You owe 500 million. You have already spent 600 million francs on this cooperation project?"
"Father, this is what happened. The 300 million francs was my life-saving money. Not long after arriving in China, I fell ill and was hospitalized. The doctors had given up on me, but it was Lina who published a reward in the newspaper. That person brought that magical thing and saved me. But it was very expensive. The medical expenses of her previous patient were worth 300 million francs."
Gu Dejun stood up and carefully examined Gu Dekang's body.
"Father, I'm in good health, better than ever before. Before returning home, I had a checkup at the top hospital in the country, and all my previous health problems have disappeared."
Gu Dejun suddenly remembered something and asked excitedly, "Is the cooperation project you found this time the magical thing you mentioned?"
"Yes, father. Before I came back, I spent 300 million francs to buy a copy of this thing. I want to use it to get the position of head of the family."
"Good Kang, you did a great job this time. Have you discussed cooperation intentions? What are the conditions and what are the benefits?"
"To be honest with you, father, I invested 200 million francs, and the net profit of 8 points belongs to me."
Gu Dejun frowned, "Gu Dekang, this profit margin is too small. Will it be difficult for the family to approve it?"
"Father, do you know how much profit 8 points can generate? Take the selling price of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars for example. I can get 200 million Hong Kong dollars for each transaction. The mysterious man guarantees a monthly sale. In a year, we can get 2.4 billion Hong Kong dollars. Our 200 million franc investment will be recovered within a year, and all profits will be made thereafter. The family will agree to a 10% monthly return rate, and after my operation, the selling price will far exceed 3 billion Hong Kong dollars."
"Goodcon, I'll give you the 500 million francs. Prepare your plan. The family meeting will be held in three days. I'll secretly contact our previous supporters over the next few days. This time, we'll work together as father and son to secure the position of head of the family this term."
In order to maintain the competitiveness of the family, the Goode family stipulates that an election for the head of the family will be held every 20 years.
When Gu Dekang returned to the bedroom, Gu Dejun hurried out.
"Dear Kang, how did the talk with father go?" Lina asked with concern.
"Lina, I need to hurry up and prepare the plan. My father has already secretly contacted his previous supporters. This time, we have a better chance of winning."
"Master, Gu Dejun has left home. Do you want us to send someone to follow him?"
"Send someone to follow him and keep a close eye on this guy. I want to see what he is planning." Gu Decai never doubted Gu Dejun's ability. If he hadn't framed Gu Dejun, learned the information of his partner, and taken action in advance, the position of head of the family would have belonged to Gu Dejun long ago.
Damn family rules, the election for the head of the family is held every 20 years. Although he is very unhappy, he has to accept the status quo. He is not afraid of other people, he is just worried that Goodkang will come up with a good project.
The eldest son, Gudemao, has been in contact with Western countries. He has also read Gudemao's plan and is very satisfied with it. He believes that the position of head of the family will still belong to their family this time.
