Chapter 79 Finding someone
“Second brother still does not listen to advice ah …” Sophie sighed, but as a relative, she still advised Edwin: “Edwin, you’d better help him, the eldest uncle loved him the most when he was alive, you this The first generation is now only three brothers left, and the elder brother has long fallen out with him, now you do not help him who help him?”NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Edwin listened to the frown deeper, when the big brother and the second brother fell out is because of character problems.
Erik’s freight company was just starting out when he took advantage of his older brother Elliot Davies’ side of the family to buy various substances from Salt Lake City to USA, but something big happened twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, Erik from Elliot to help people to buy a batch of goods, the goods are very valuable, so Erik up to mischief, the use of long-distance freight time from the real product switched, and later found by the demand side will be responsible for all the transfer to their own brother, that he can afford to bear the consequences, while their own company can not.
It was not expected to be widely publicized by the other side, and alarmed the authorities of both countries, causing a nearly fatal blow to Elliot’s company, and if not for Edwin’s intervention, Elliot would not have been able to survive that difficult time, but in the end, he also broke up with his brother, who had completely different views.
“He’s up to his old tricks now, and I really don’t want to help him.” Edwin doesn’t like Erik’s character either.
“Edwin…” than the three views, Sophie or more important family some, this is also the most soft place in the nature of women, so she also want to persuade Edwin to come forward.
“Okay,” Edwin was finally moved by Sophie, after all, the truth is indeed as she said, their generation is only three brothers left, big brother does not help, they do not help that Erik’s company may really can not be for the Department: “I will give him a call. ”
“Talk to him properly.” Sophie also gave Edwin a special admonition, just in case the two of them argued, because Edwin was too righteous.
“Don’t worry, I know how to talk to him.” Edwin nodded in response and, ever the man of action, immediately went upstairs to his study and called his cousin Erik.
Sophie looked at Edwin’s back and was a bit worried, she was still afraid that the two brothers would quarrel, she knew Erik’s character well enough, if not for the affection in the family, Erik kind of people Sophie did not care.
In the afternoon, Edwin talked with Erik for almost two hours, telling him about the relationship between Arthur and Lucia, Lucia and Esmae, and himself with Sophie and Esmae in general, and asking him to go out to contact the Browns instead of himself to see if he could further communicate with Esmae.
“Edwin, are you asking me to do this?” Erik, who was far away in San Francisco, asked slyly after Edwin finished.
Edwin immediately frowned, as soon as he heard Erik’s tone he knew he was going to make a condition, so he did not wait for Erik to say the words explicitly, he said directly back:
“I’ll have the finance transfer a sum of ten million dollars over to you this afternoon.”
Erik’s voice became excited as soon as he heard that he had money: “Edwin, I knew you were the best!”
In fact, the money Edwin gave Erik was far more than the amount he asked for before. Edwin increased the amount to make the money-minded Erik concentrate on working for himself.
“Then what I asked you to do …,” Edwin said deliberately and slowly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it, I’m the best at spying or whatever your brother is, as long as you help me solve the company’s burning problem, everything is fine.” Erik’s attitude is obviously different from just now, and he’s even thinking about how to use the money left over after paying the compensation.
Erik’s wavering position and profit-oriented attitude really made Edwin dissatisfied. Although Sophie had already advised him to avoid conflicts with him, Edwin, as a cousin, still couldn’t help but to nag him a few times.
“Erik, after this incident you should also reflect on it, USA is very strict about this aspect of management, this time the other side is still willing to reconcile, the next time may not be.”
“I know, it was just carelessness this time.” Erik said unconcernedly.
“Just careless?!” Edwin was furious after hearing this: “You mean you do this all the time and now it’s just a case of EastEnders?!”
“We are supposed to be smart in business. The old man said that no business is unscrupulous, so why are you so surprised?” Erik has no guilt at all, but thinks Edwin is too pedantic. In a competitive environment like USA, when can you make a lot of money by doing business honestly?
Edwin, who was advised in turn, held a stifled breath in his chest, not knowing what to say, and really had three different views and nothing to say.
“Edwin, are you still there?” Erik asked on the other end of the line when he didn’t get a response.
“… “Edwin sighed silently before he spoke out: “I won’t say much, you take care of yourself.”
“Thanks for your help.” Erik gave a perfunctory thank you and the two hung up the phone. He had just hung up when his son Spencer Davies, who had been standing by, spoke up.
“Dad, Uncle has promised to help us?”
Spencer is Erik’s only son, a set of thousands of favorites, and ideas have long been influenced by his father, the transfer of the incident is his hands, just did not expect to mix in the quality of fake goods is really too poor, was discovered at once.
“Help?” Erik sneered, his heart did not appreciate Edwin’s feelings at all, said: “He is just looking for our help to give the benefits, the first time he refused me would have been proof of his heartlessness, this time is looking for our help before he is willing to make a move, this is also considered to help!”
“Uncle asked us to help him do what?” Spencer asked curiously, in fact, father and uncle usually contact is not much, even the major holidays are rarely exchanged, and to uncle’s strength will seek help from father is really strange.
Erik lit a cigarette and told his son all the details of Edwin’s request for help, and Spencer, after listening for a while, gazed into his father’s eyes and said meaningfully:
“Dad, this is a great opportunity …
”
Between swallowing clouds, Erik looked back at his son, who had the exact same eyes as his own, and the corners of his lips lifted into a smile rich in meaning.
Half a month has passed, Arthur’s foot injury has basically healed, in order to give him bone, Lucia specially asked Sophie for a recipe for soup, but no matter how she cooked soup is not good, Lucia every time you taste the soup are pathetic, Arthur laughingly called the black hole of cooking.
Tomorrow was the last day of the vacation, and while Arthur was watching TV on the couch, Lucia took her cell phone and called Eduard:
“Eduard, I’ll be ready to work tomorrow.”
As Lucia shouted ‘Eduard’, Arthur on the sofa behind her silently picked up the remote control and turned down the volume.
“Is Arthur all healed up? If you still can’t come back, I’ll give you another five days off.” On the phone, Eduard said generously.
