Chapter 390 - 390: Take Rockefeller Back!
Connor looked at Thomas in front of him and felt that what Thomas had told him was too shocking.
“I didn’t expect the old Chairman to experience such a dangerous thing. The people in Rockefeller are too sinister!” Connor exclaimed.
“Fortunately, the old director was lucky and didn’t let those evildoers succeed!” Thomas said angrily.
Back then, Steven’s own men had installed a time bomb on Steven’s plane in order to take Rockefeller away from him, forcing Steven to choose to jump off the plane.
Although Steven’s private plane had a parachute at that time, Steven was not a professional parachutist himself, so he was seriously injured when he landed. In addition, after Rockefeller’s people knew that Steven was not dead, they specially hired assassins to assassinate Steven. As a result, Steven could not return to Rockefeller’s headquarters at that time and could only temporarily hide in the country.
At that time, Steven didn’t know who had betrayed him, so he couldn’t contact any of his subordinates. He was living abroad and had no friends in the country. In addition, he was seriously injured and couldn’t find a job, so he could only choose to beg for a living.
At this time, Freya happened to meet Steven, who was on the verge of death, in Porthampton. She used her pocket money to buy a plane ticket for him.
That was why Steven had left Connor with such a will, telling him that he had to marry Freya.
Connor hesitated for a moment and could not help but say, “However, I still don’t understand what he wants me to do…”
“After the old Chairman returned to Rockefeller, he found that Rockefeller had long been taken over by his subordinates. At that time, the old chairman could be said to be penniless, and all the executives loyal to him had been fired, so Rockefeller was no longer his. Steven was not qualified to fight with those people in Rockefeller, so he could only compromise. He used all his shares in Rockefeller in exchange for a chance to live!”
Thomas paused for a moment and then continued, “In the end, the people in Rockefeller also agreed to the old Chairman’s request. They got the shares, and the old chairman chose to leave Risu and come to Eigona alone!”
“After coming to Eigona, the old Chairman made a comeback with the help of his friends. It was then that 1 met him and worked as his secretary for fifteen years!”
“I didn’t expect Steven Lee’s life to be so terrifying…”
Connor sighed softly.
“Yes, when he was young, he was ostracized by the Lee family, so he went to Risu alone to establish Rockefeller. However, I didn’t expect that more than ten years later, Rockefeller would be taken away just like that. Later, the old chairman escaped to Eigona and re-established a business empire comparable to Rockefeller!” Thomas said slowly.
“Is Rockefeller more powerful now, or is the Empire World Corporation that I inherited more powerful?” Connor asked Thomas curiously.
When Connor had gotten the inheritance, Thomas had told him that Steven was the richest man in the world. But now that Connor had heard the full story, he felt that Steven wasn’t as rich as the people of the Rockefeller consortium!
“Of course, Rockefeller is even more powerful!” Thomas answered directly.
“Since Rockefeller is more powerful, why did you say that Steven was the richest man in the world?” Connor asked.
“It’s true that the old Chairman is the richest man in the world, but this is only because he has more physical industries in his hands. Rockefeller controls the shares of various large companies and groups. These shares can’t be counted as personal assets, but the companies in Rockefeller’s hands are basically all over the world, and they are all top companies!”
“The old Chairman’s company, which is now yours, has been inherited by the Empire World Corporation. Its main industries are distributed in Eigona and Oprana, and it has basically not been involved with other countries. Therefore, whether it is in terms of capital or influence, the Empire World Corporation is definitely not as good as Rockefeller!” Thomas replied.
“To put it bluntly, even if I inherit Steven’s inheritance, I still can’t compare to Rockefeller, right?” Connor asked.
“You can also understand it that way!”
Thomas nodded lightly.
“Then who is the real boss of Rockefeller now?”
Connor asked curiously.
“The original boss of Rockefeller was Mr. Steven Lee, but after he left, Rockefeller no longer had a real boss and was instead jointly managed by three people. These three people were the old chairman’s former subordinates, and now they are the three bosses of Rockefeller!”
Thomas paused for a moment and then continued, “This is also the reason why the old Chairman is still the richest man in the world even though Rockefeller is much bigger than our company.”
“That means that the three of them are in control of the consortium, right?” Connor asked softly.
“Yes, the hierarchy of Rockefeller is very clear. It is distributed in the shape of a pyramid. The top three people are the three bosses, and there are nine people below the three. Generally, the employees of Rockefeller like to call these nine people the Big Nine, and there are other people under them, too. These people form a very large network, controlling Rockefeller and the core enterprises in Rockefeller’s hands!” Thomas patiently explained to Connor.
“The Big Nine?”
Connor couldn’t help but shake his head and smile. He felt that what Thomas said was like a joke. It didn’t seem real at all. However, he knew that Thomas would not joke with him like this.
“That’s right, you can also understand that these twelve people are the true masters of Rockefeller!” Thomas nodded lightly.
“Forget it. Rockefeller isn’t mine anyway. You’ve been talking to me for so long, but 1 still don’t understand what you’re trying to say to me!” Connor frowned, not in the mood to discuss these things with Thomas now.
“What 1 want to tell you is actually very simple: I hope that you can snatch Rockefeller back from these people!” Thomas didn’t waste any more words with Connor and went straight to the point.
“Get Rockefeller back?”
Connor looked at Thomas with deep shock in his eyes. He felt that all of this was too unbelievable.
He widened his eyes and continued, “Bro, are you joking with me? Even the old Chairman couldn’t get Rockefeller back, so how could I?”
