Chapter 4342
Kathleen had solved all of the Fox family's troubles at once, but immediately afterward, more new video evidence was immediately exposed on the internet.
However, the protagonists of this evidence were no longer Homer, but wealthy heirs from New York who were found tragically dead in the Hudson River in the morning.
This news exploded all over the world again, and the public's attention immediately shifted from the Fox family to these wealthy families.
Meanwhile, these wealthy families did not even care to grieve the tragic death of their own family members. Instead, all of them had a headache over how they could dispel the public's anger toward them. Although Kathleen had already given them an example, her solution was simply too expensive for others.
These wealthy families, who were addicted to money, were unwilling to provide a billion US dollars in compensation for each victim's family unless they had no other choice and would otherwise die. However, these were no longer issues that Kathleen needed to consider.
After the press conference was over, she called Charlie immediately, and when the call was connected, she asked reverently," Mr. Wade, did you see Fox Group's press conference just now?" Charlie smiled and said, "I saw it."
Kathleen then hurriedly asked, "Then, do you think that the solution that I proposed is satisfactory to you?"
Charlie said seriously, "I think that you have handled it well enough. I believe that with your impeccable handling such as this, the Fox family will be able to get out of Homer Fox's shadow soon enough." When Kathleen heard Charlie's praise, she not only heaved a sigh of relief, but she also felt a little shy like a young girl.
So, she then said to Charlie, "Thank you for your approval, Mr. Wade. I will complete the verification of the victims' information and the distribution of the compensation in the fastest time possible." "Good." Charlie paused for a moment and then asked her again, 'What are your plans now that you have officially become the head of the Fox family?"
Kathleen said, "I have only planned two things during this recent period of time.
The first thing is to solve the mess left behind by Homer Fox, and the other is to take time to familiarize myself with the group's affairs, sort them out, and get started as soon as possible." Charlie instructed, "In truth, your top priority at the moment is not to familiarize yourself with the business but to clean up the team instead."
Kathleen hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wade, what do you mean by that?"
Charlie reminded her, "Don't forget that the members of the Fox Group's board of directors are the same people who kicked your grandfather out of the group. Your top priority now is to take back all of their voting rights and veto power in the board of directors. Your position will only be safe if you do that."
Kathleen said with some concern,
"Aside from the direct members of
the Fox family, the members of the board of directors basically comprise of the Fox family's relatives as well as some ministers. I have just assumed office, and I'll still need them to maintain the smooth operation of the group. If were to attack them at this time, I'm afraid that they will unite to overthrow me, or simply quit."
Charlie said seriously, "These people were on the wrong team once, and now that you've become the head of the family, they must definitely be panicking. They will all be afraid that you will look for them to settle the score so at this time, you should not let their worries be in vain, and you have to settle the previous score with them first. Otherwise, if you simply let this go just like that, they will feel as if there are no consequences for them being on the wrong team, and they will only act more recklessly next time." novelbin
Having said that, Charlie added,
"There are two extremes before you now. You have to either take advantage of this opportunity to subdue them completely and make them fear you, or you can let them take this opportunity to see your weakness clearly so that it will be easy for them to turn things around in the future. Apart from these two possibilities, the possibility of you wanting to disregard all previous hatreds, get along, and cooperate sincerely with them, is almost zero."
Kathleen immediately fell silent, and she knew that Charlie was right.
