Chapter 320 Mutual Alliance
At Anchana Manor.
Brown Edward swirled a glass of red wine, sitting comfortably on the couch.
"This manor was built during the time of Louis III. Back then, the Edward Family also took part in its construction. By rights, this manor should also belong to the Edward Family. It's a pity it has always been occupied by the Charlies family. Today, it has finally returned to its rightful owner," he mused.
Fang Yuan stood by, pretending to gracefully touch each object.
Her decision to marry Brown was essentially a huge gamble. Had the Edward Family not won this commercial war, she would have been doomed along with the entire Edward Family.
But now, not only had the Edward Family won, but they had won very impressively. It wouldn't be long before they could enter the East with the financial capital they controlled.
At that time, she could finally settle the score with the Zhao Family!
"But ultimately, this manor is still the private property of the Louisian royalty. Many families, upon acquiring the manor, choose to return it to the descendants of the Louis Family. Should we also extend this favor?" she questioned.
Fang Yuan was indeed somewhat intelligent, or else how could she have easily won the three-billion capital wager?
Brown stroked his chin, thinking it over.
"Although the Louis Family has declined, they still hold some standing in Europe. If we could use this manor to bring them over to our side, it would make swallowing up other families much easier!" he declared.
As he finished speaking, Brown suddenly stood up and clinked his glass against Fang Yuan's.
"In this period, you have demonstrated a wisdom beyond that of mere mortals. Had it not been for you and my second uncle working together on the Smart Group, I might not have achieved what I have today. How about we nullify our previous marriage agreement and truly get married!" he proposed.
Fang Yuan trembled slightly, unsure of how to respond.
Marrying Brown would indeed be a good choice. It would not only allow her to step into high society in one go but also save her a lot of trouble.
However, she had a child in this world, which was always a risk.
"What's the matter, not willing?" Brown's tone carried a hint of urgency.
"That's not it, I'm just a bit surprised!" she replied hastily.
Just as Fang Yuan was making an excuse, the butler hurriedly ran in, handing the tablet to Brown. Your next read awaits at empire
"Young Master Brown, there's a big problem!" the butler exclaimed.
The screen was showing information about a myriad of companies.
Some small companies that they had previously beaten without any resistance had unexpectedly merged overnight into a big company.
"Yu Ya Limited?" Brown was furious and slammed the tablet on the ground. "Where did this company spring up from?"
The butler was startled and didn't dare to utter a word but handed over a phone instead.
Brown quickly composed himself and answered the call.
"Brown, a new company has arrived in Frankfurt, and it seems they're opposing us. Prepare immediately and convene an emergency board meeting!"
Carter's voice sounded extremely authoritative, proving the severity of the situation.
Brown didn't dare delay, sending messages to all directors at once. As he left, he also took Fang Yuan with him.
Fang Yuan had already gained actual power within the Edward Family and was present as Brown's personal assistant.
Many of the Edward Family elders even admired Fang Yuan's wisdom and had come to regard her as one of their own.
At the top floor of a commercial building, nearly all the elders of the Edward Family had gathered here.
After all, this was just a branch of theirs, so the meeting wasn't too particular. A group of people, swirling their glasses, sat together, their faces extremely solemn.
"Have you obtained the information on that company? Who is their legal representative? Is there any capital support behind them?"
"It seems to be from the Orient. I don't know why they've suddenly started opposing us."
"Their movements are too swift. They've not only brought those small-scale enterprises together but also made contact with William's family and Charlie's family. It's said that the capital of all three parties has already started interfacing."
"We absolutely can't let them unite. Those two families are already European behemoths, and with the addition of capital from the Orient, we alone will have great difficulty coping."
...
Though the group was somewhat noisy with each taking their turn to speak, the content of their conversation was extremely well-organized.
And when one person spoke, the others would certainly not interrupt.
It didn't take long before they had completely reviewed all the information. At the same time, the Public Relations Department had already begun to act, fully investigating Yu Ya Limited Company.
But due to the location of its registration, they had difficulty finding specific information.
Chen Yu had quickly brought together those beaten-down enterprises and then went directly to meet with Victor.
In the daytime, Victor hurried to Suzhou City to congratulate Chen Yu.
By the time he returned to Frankfurt, he was stunned to find that the situation had completely changed.
Chen Yu had not only reached Suzhou City before him but had also finished the early stages of his planning.
Their meeting was extremely rushed, merely choosing a street-side cafe.
Fortunately, this cafe could provide a decent private room.
"Mr. Chen, I never expected the capital from the Orient to choose you to come help us as their representative. I am truly surprised," said Victor, unable to hide his excitement. After all, his trip to Suzhou City had been with the intention of seeking reinforcements, but he'd always been too embarrassed to mention it.
On one hand, he didn't have deep cooperation with the capital from the Orient; on the other, Chen Yu was his lifesaver, and he didn't want to draw Chen Yu into this chaotic situation.
Chen Yu appeared very nonchalant in response, "Doing business is all about mutual benefit, and the actions of the Edward Family are indeed overbearing; they really need to be suppressed!"
"Additionally, I contacted someone from Charlie's family today. They don't seem too keen on cooperating!"
Victor let out a sigh of resignation, "The last time the two big families clashed head-on, the Edward Family sent assassins, and in one night, nearly a dozen senior members of Charlie's family were killed! Now their head is a thirteen-year-old girl, how can she make proper judgments?"
Chen Yu's pupils dilated sharply; he hadn't anticipated such a drastic turn of events within Charlie's family.
"That's not surprising then! But Charlie's family's influence is still there. I hope Mr. Victor can help make connections and try to get our families integrated," said Chen Yu.
Victor nodded and then took out a USB drive from his pocket and handed it over.
"Managing Charlie's family is my job; as for the rest, I'll leave it to you. This contains the data of all the small-scale enterprises suppressed by the Edward Family."
"Although their scale isn't large, their number is their strength. If we can unite them all, they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored," he explained.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu took the USB drive and immediately handed it to Han Xiaohui beside him.
"Organize the data inside and hand it to me immediately!"
