LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 240
"Okay, without further ado, the meeting should start voting now."
After about twenty minutes, Mayer saw that everyone had considered it, so he touched his gray beard and spoke lightly.
"This plan was proposed by my Rothschild family. As the patriarch of the Rothschild family, I certainly won't have any objections, so I will vote in favor first."
Seeing that no one spoke, Mayer took the lead in expressing his position. He lightly pressed the button in front of his round table, and a light green light instantly came out from the round table.
"The British royal family agrees to the implementation of this plan."
Not long after Mayer finished speaking, a man who was sitting not far from Mayer, wearing black clothes and inlaid with gold wire patterns, and who looked nearly thirty years old, also spoke at this time.
This is Lelouch v. Britain, the royal heir of the British Empire.
"The De Beers family agrees to this plan."
......
Seven families in a row spoke and agreed to the implementation of this plan.
"The William family opposes the implementation of the plan."
"The Samsung Group opposes the implementation of the plan."
"The Trump family opposes the implementation of the plan."
"The Mo family opposes the implementation of the plan."
At this time, Mo Yuxuan, Chuan Jianguo and others also spoke up one after another, opposing the plan.
"The Brahman family opposes the plan."
Just after Mo Yuxuan finished speaking, the Brahman family in Yinzhou also spoke up at this time.
The population of Yinzhou is only higher than that of Xiaguo. If the plan is really implemented, the impact on them will be even greater than that of Xiaguo, so the Brahman family, the first family in Yinzhou, will naturally not agree.
Until this time, five major families have opposed the implementation of this plan.
As long as a few of the remaining eight major families who have not voted stand up and oppose Meyer, this plan will not be implemented.
It is worth mentioning that in the meeting of the 20 major families, there are only votes in favor and against, and there is no abstention.
The content that can be proposed at the meeting of the 20 major families is related to the family interests of the entire Blue Water Star.
Moreover, the strength of the twenty major families is not much different on the surface, and there is no question of who offends whom.
"The Rainers family agrees to the implementation of the plan."
"The Ashcroft family agrees to the implementation of this plan."
"The Bolin family agrees to the implementation of this plan."
"The Raines family opposes the implementation of the plan."
......
Then the family finished speaking, and the number of families that finally agreed to implement the plan has reached twelve.
Now, only Prince Hermann of the Saudi family has not spoken.
Today's Prince Hermann can be said to have a veto over this plan. If Prince Hermann nods, the plan will proceed smoothly. If Prince Hermann shakes his head, then the plan will be rejected again as it was ten years ago.
"Prince Hermann, can you tell me what you think about this matter?"
Seeing that Prince Hermann was reluctant to speak, Meyer smiled and squinted at him.
"Don't worry, Patriarch Meyer. This matter is of great significance. Let me think about it again."
Hermann didn't take Meyer's words seriously, and he was still thinking about it.
"The twelve major families have agreed to this matter. Prince Hermann, you should also think clearly about which side you should stand on."
At this time, Roman De Beers, the patriarch of the De Beers family, who controls more than 90% of the diamonds on the entire Blue Water Star, spoke to Prince Hermann, and there was a hint of threat in his tone.
"Hmph, Roman, it's not your turn to point fingers at what my Saudi family does."
Hermann glanced at Roman at this time, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
"Roman, this is the business of the Saudi family. You, the De Beers family, had better not interfere. Otherwise, if the diamonds in your warehouse are stolen by others one day, without those useless diamonds, you will be kicked out of the top 20 families."
Mo Yuxuan also glanced at Roman at this time, with some disdain in his tone.
"That's right, a nouveau riche local rich family dares to make decisions at this time. You want to be in the limelight so much, have you discussed it with the head of the Meyer clan?"
Chuan Jianguo, who was sitting next to Mo Yuxuan, also laughed at this time and mocked Roman directly.
Hearing Chuan Jianguo mocking Roman De Beers in front of Roman, everyone present tried to hold back their laughter, but the look in their eyes still made Roman whole.The face of the individual was extremely ugly.
The De Beers family is a well-known diamond family in the outside world.
Decades ago, due to the hype of the diamond business, it suddenly became rich.
Decades ago, it was also because of this incident that several medium-sized families united together to form the De Beers family.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the De Beers family is an unattainable existence.
But when De Beers successfully squeezed into the top 20 families in a few decades, in fact, many families still looked down on this family in their hearts.
The key factor to enter the top 20 families is that the De Beers family has enough funds. Even more than many old families that have been passed down for hundreds of years.
But even so, the De Beers family is still secretly looked down upon by many people in the top 20 families.
This is because the family lacks foundation. No matter how much money there is, the foundation is too weak and there is no foundation.
It is precisely because of this that many people in the De Beers family are quite taboo about the foundation.
Even they themselves sometimes feel like a nouveau riche.
Now Chuan Jianguo has made things clear, which is completely disrespectful to the De Beers family.
However, Chuan Jianguo did not do this because of impulse. Before, Chuan Jianguo remembered that the De Beers family stood on the opposite side of him when he was elected as the head of the United States.
Now there is a chance to humiliate the patriarch of the De Beers family and regain some face, he will naturally not miss this opportunity.
"The nouveau riche is the nouveau riche, and he can't hold his temper at all."
Chuan Jianguo curled his lips, looking like he deserved a beating.
"You!"
Roman was really angry at Chuan Jianguo's appearance.
If possible, he really wanted to beat up the blond bald old man in front of him.
"Okay, okay, Chuan Jianguo, the De Beers family is one of our top 20 families after all. The De Beers family has been able to become one of the top 20 families in a few decades, so of course it has its strengths. As an alliance, we should be more friendly. And Patriarch Roman, let's sit down and talk."
At this time, Mayer also jumped out to act as a peacemaker. Roman snorted coldly and then slowly sat back in his seat.
"Prince Hermann, what do you think now?"
