This has emotional factors. When a person gets older, his heart becomes more and more fragile. At this time, his family is the most comfortable inside. On the other hand, for old DuPont, there are also career factors. He has worked all his life and worked all his life. He almost started from scratch to build the DuPont Empire. The DuPont consortium is everything to him. When he gets older, it is impossible for him to maintain this empire forever. He must pass on the empire he has worked hard to build. In the family, only Bob can take on this important task.

He trained Bob as a successor, but now white-haired people give black-haired people, no one can accept this fact.

"Dad, how could Bob die?" Natalia asked while wiping her tears.

Lao Du choked up and told the whole story intermittently.

In the economic crisis, other places suffered heavy losses, but the DuPont consortium basically did not suffer any losses. Instead, it developed with the economic crisis. Especially after intervening in Citibank of the Rockefeller consortium, the DuPont consortium's strength increased greatly, and then continued to conquer cities and land and developed rapidly.

It was also at this time that Old DuPont began to pay attention to Bob and gradually began to build him as a successor. Bob not only served as the vice chairman of the board of directors of DuPont Consortium, but also was responsible for the management of the banking system of DuPont Consortium. Moreover, Bob did a good job, which made Old DuPont very satisfied.

This year, the Democratic Party has tampered with the state TV station. DuPont has seen the opportunity and transferred Bob to New York, allowing him to be responsible for the banking system and participate in the management of the state TV station. After all, DuPont Consortium is one of the five major shareholders of the state TV station.

Bob still did a great job after coming to New York, but the place in New York is a place with bright lights and wine. Anyone can easily lose himself there. Bob often goes to Broadway because of his work, which is one of the most popular entertainment places for chaebols.

Later, Bob fell in love with a female singer on Broadway. The female singer not only sang well but also looked coquettish. Bob was completely fascinated by her. But this woman is not only Bob. Except for some well-known people, even the mafia people have an affair with her.

Bob is a stubborn person and he doesn't like to share with others. So there are many conflicts with this woman, and there are conflicts between some people who have a relationship with that woman.

Last night, Bob went to find the woman again and drove alone. He did not return. This morning, New York police found a body in a garbage dump. It was Bob. Five shots were shot on his body, and one of them penetrated his head. "Dad, who killed Bob!?" Natalia said angrily.

Her questions also made me frown.

This matter is a bit complicated.

DuPont Belmondo brought me a piece of news that surprised me. Although this news has nothing to do with me and has nothing to do with the Lockettec consortium, it still makes me feel very moved.

A person who doesn’t care much about his family all his life, when he is old, a white-haired person sends a black-haired person and loses his beloved son. Only then does he realize the importance of family affection. This is really an inexplicable irony and regret.

Perhaps DuPont Belmondo said a lot. This is really possible that God punished him, punishing him for only caring about his career for the rest of his life. It is related to his consortium and money.

Originally, I have always been critical of DuPont's approach. In fact, I have talked to him in person. However, every time I talk, I am not right. After a long time, I am tired of it.

So now I see Old DuPont and Natalia crying together, I really don’t know what to do. Consolation is not enough, and it is obviously not enough to persuade him.

The only thing they can do is to remain silent and let them cry and vent their inner grief.

But after Old DuPont told all the things that his beloved son was killed, my head became big.

Natalia asked Old DuPont who killed Bob. Old DuPont sighed and leaned against the chair and closed his eyes.

"This matter is a bit complicated, but I have sent someone to investigate, and the result may come out soon, or it may never be found. New York is a complicated place, with the five major mafia families there, and those guys are so mean. The ones who have conflicts with Bob are the top leaders of the five major mafia families. In addition, our DuPont consortium has also offended many people inadvertently in recent years. Maybe someone may be instructed to do this. Or, it may be a simple conflict, where young people can do anything for women and lovers."

Old DuPont learned from his mistakes and analyzed that his son was killed was very reasonable.

I nodded and agreed with his idea.

"Andre, can you transfer the guards of Darren Oliver's factory to help inquire?" Natalia cried so hard that she was filled with tears.

"Don't worry, I will let Darren handle this matter well." I spread my hands.

Old DuPont left my office, and Natalia accompanied him home. Although Old DuPont has a villa in Los Angeles, it would be a bit unkind to let the old man live in a villa alone at this time. Although he is a strong man, he still needs family care. Let him live in my manor, at least Natalia and Vapori accompany him, and there is also an emotional settlement.

Looking at the old back that was originally energetic and unbearable, I sighed.

"Calvin, what do you think of this?" I lit a cigarette.

It was not appropriate for him to make comments in Coolidge just now, but he obviously looked at the problem much more profound than others.

"Old DuPont is now suffering. As soon as Bob dies, DuPont's consortium loses one heir. Although he has a son in the UK, it is simply an embroidered pillow, which doesn't work. In this way, the roots of the DuPont's consortium have been dug up. No wonder old DuPont is so sad." Coolidge said in a nagging manner.

"Who asked you to say this? I asked you to say something important." I gave Coolidge a blank look.

Coolidge immediately smirked: "Andre, in my opinion, this is the most important thing."

"What does it mean?" I heard a touch of meaning from Coolidge's words.

There is subtext here.

"Is Andrei DuPont Consortium strong?" Coolidge suddenly asked an inexplicable question.

"It's all right. The DuPont Consortium is now one of the top fifteen well-known consortiums in the United States." I'm very unfamiliar with Coolidge's very unborn childbearing problem.

"Yes. Such a large consortium has now lost its heir. Do you think this matter is important?" Coolidge smirked again.

His expression made me a little confused.

"Calvin, what do you mean? For the DuPont Consortium, losing an heir is indeed a very important thing, but I remind you that old DuPont has many children and heirs is not a problem at all. Besides, the DuPont Consortium's loss of heirs has nothing to do with our Lockettec Consortium?" I smiled.

"Why is it okay??" Coolidge jumped up suddenly: "Andre, are you really stupid or fake? Why did Old DuPont run to you to cry?"

"It's not because Natalia is here. Old man..." I was stunned as I said, and for a moment, I seemed to understand what Coolidge meant.

We both looked at each other, and then our eyes became stiff.

"Calvin, you mean..." I touched my chin.

"Originally, when Bob or local, the DuPont consortium was DuPont consortium, and the Lockett consortium was Lockett consortium, and we basically had no intersection. Of course, because of your relationship with Natalia, it was still related to private aspects. But this connection was not considered at all for Old DuPont."

"You also know that family affection is worthless in his eyes. His actions are for the DuPont consortium. Previously, he could do whatever he wants to survive and develop the consortium, but now, when he finds that the consortium he has fought for has no heirs, what will happen to him?"

"Andre, Old DuPont is very sad now. The sadness cannot be ruled out that the loss of his beloved son is a component, but I think he found that the DuPont consortium lost its heirs, and this sadness actually accounts for a large proportion."

Coolidge is still very familiar with DuPont Belmondo. Therefore, his analysis of DuPont is also very reasonable.

"Now, the biggest question before Old DuPont is where the DuPont consortium will go in the future. You are right. Old DuPont has many children in his life, so it is not a problem to choose an heir. But who is the problem to choose? Bob is the only one among all his children who can take the lead. The remaining local man is just a bucket of food, only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun, and cannot accomplish great things at all. If the consortium is handed over to him, it will probably be ruined in a few years. Among the other daughters, several of them married lawyers or congressmen. These guys are not good at managing the consortium at all. They can't take on this burden. More importantly, Old DuPont has no feelings for those daughters at all, and they are completely like strangers."

"Among the children born, Natalia is the one who touched Old DuPont in terms of feelings. Besides, Wapoly is his grandson. In terms of business, the Lockettec consortium is now booming. If Old DuPont chooses Natalia as his heir, it means that the DuPont consortium will have a close relationship with the Lockettec consortium. Once Old DuPont dies, the DuPont consortium will become Natalia or Wapoly. With the help of the Lockettec consortium, the DuPont consortium will not only not be destroyed because of Old DuPont's death, but will have long-term development. On the other hand, Old DuPont has not been in vain in his life."

Coolidge's words made my head buzz.

I really never thought of these things.

"Andre, you have to think about this matter carefully. This is a big deal." Coolidge took a sip of cigarette and whispered.

"But Calvin, I don't think about this matter seriously." Looking at Coolidge, I laughed.

"Why?" Coolidge had no surprise on his face, as if this guy had expected me to think like this.

"No, you understand my personality. I am not the kind of person who puts my hopes on others all day long. I think everything requires your own hard work. Only by doing it through your own hard work will I feel at ease."

"Will Old DuPont choose Natalia as his heir? That's his business, and it has nothing to do with me. If he does that, I would be very happy, because it means that my son Waboli will become the head of the DuPont consortium in the future. If Old DuPont doesn't do that, I would be equally happy, because it means that Waboli must create his own career through his own efforts and hard work. So I don't have to do anything at all. I mean, do you understand?"

Coolidge looked at me and laughed loudly, as if he was very satisfied with my answer.

"Then let's talk about Bob's death." Coolidge sat on the sofa and knocked out the cigarette butts in his hand.

I'm still very interested in this question.

"What do you think Bob's death should be?" I asked.

"Complex, very complicated." Coolidge crossed his legs and began his analysis.

"There are many possibilities, and I think these possibilities exist. First, the first possibility is also the simplest. That is, Bob was killed because he snatched a woman from others. This explanation is what we got on the surface, but maybe there is no deep meaning at all. It's that simple. All the women on Broadway are very attractive. There are almost no men who don't fight. It's normal for Bob to die like this. It's obvious that Bob died like this."

"The second possibility, I think, may be deeper. DuPont said that the person who killed Bob was a senior leader of the Mafia. If it weren't for a woman, then the article would be big. This at least shows one problem, that is, the DuPont consortium did not know what to do to offend the Mafia, and revenge was the Mafia's best at."

"The third possibility is that we should see that there is someone behind the Mafia. The Mafia and the Democratic Party have always had close contact and have a very good relationship with the Rockefeller Consortium. Is there any trick here?"

"I think it's very likely. On the surface, the DuPont Consortium and the Rockefeller Consortium are in a cooperative relationship. The cooperation between the two parties is still in a deep level, and in public, the two parties are very friendly, just like honeymoon couples, but in fact, the relationship between them is not that good at all."

"There is cooperation between the Rockefeller Consortium and the DuPont Consortium, but it is more intrigue. There has never been any real cooperation in the consortium. Of course, there has never been any real friends. Some of them are just eternal interests. During the economic crisis, Rockefeller's consortium was greatly injured and even Citibank could not support it. Under such circumstances, Old DuPont wisely raised funds and obtained nearly ordinary equity in Citibank. Such an action was a huge victory for Old DuPont. This move allowed the DuPont Consortium to control Citibank from then on, and the Rockefeller Consortium was helpless. Although they were reluctant, there was nothing they could do under the circumstances at that time."

"But the situation is different now. The impact of the economic crisis is being eliminated bit by bit. The Rockefeller Consortium is now getting better, and they are slowly recovering. At this time, the DuPont Consortium has become a thorn in their eyes. How to regain the shares that were originally controlled by the Rockefeller Consortium that DuPont Consortium originally controlled is probably the most concerned issue for John Rockefeller Jr.."

"John Rockefeller, the guy, inherited two of the old John Rockefeller's two points, namely patience and ambition. He knew that if he was forced, he would definitely not be the opponent of DuPont and would definitely not be able to achieve his goal, so he could only adopt a roundabout tactic. After killing Bob, the only heir of DuPont Consortium, the cornerstone of DuPont Consortium was loose, and Old DuPont is now half-in-the-ground. Once he dies, the DuPont Consortium will become the meat on the chopping board for the Rockefeller Consortium."

"This move is really vicious." I frowned.

"Of course, this is just my guess. Maybe this matter has something to do with the Democratic Party." Coolidge took a sip of water and squeezed my eyes.

He just doesn't say this, I can understand it.

"There are all possibilities. But we can't control so much. The most important thing at the moment is to let Darren's factory guards figure out the situation." I lay on the chair and closed my eyes.

DreamWorks has enough things in its own place, and I really don’t have the extra power to care about the DuPont Consortium.

Under my instructions, Darren Oliver's factory guards investigated the matter.

My main job is to film "The Godfather 2". It has been October and it has been a lot of time.

The next week or two was basically quite calm. The shooting was going well, and I was also paying attention to Darren Oliver's investigation. Although their guys were very efficient, it was not easy to investigate such things.

During this period, DuPont Belmondo was not idle either. The old man used all his strength to investigate this matter. Although after Bob's death, major consortiums on Wall Street, including the Democratic Party, sent people to condolences. However, at his son's funeral, DuPont Belmondo was surprisingly calm. At the end of the funeral, when his son's coffin was buried, DuPont Belmondo suddenly swears in front of his son's coffin: "I, let DuPont Belmondo reveal to God before his son's coffin, once the murderer behind the scenes is found, I will definitely make them pay their blood debts! I will magnify the pain a hundred times! Otherwise, I will die with my eyes and fall into the fire forever!"

Swearing to the coffin is the most poisonous oath. When DuPont Belmondo made the swearing, the representatives of the major consortiums were right next to him. Old DuPont's oath made those guys feel a little scared.

People know Old DuPont. Know the guy’s style of doing things. People say that the most dangerous animal in Africa is not a lion but a buffalo. If you mess with it, it will always follow you, either you die or it dies.

Old DuPont's temper is the buffalo's temper. He was originally a man who could do anything. If he really annoyed him, it would mean that you would be in constant trouble.

After the funeral, Old DuPont returned to Los Angeles and hid in his villa. His approach made many people puzzled. You know, for him, the place where he stayed the most was New York, the headquarters of DuPont Consortium. Los Angeles was usually just his place to stay, but now, the old man seems to have changed his office to Los Angeles.

Regarding this approach, some people think that because New York is a place where children are lost, Old DuPont wants to leave temporarily and relax.

Some people say that Old DuPont is likely planning something.

I agree with these statements, but the most I did except lock myself in the villa was to take Waboli to my manor.

Before, the two of them had never met several times a year, but now they are stuck together almost all day long. Since Bob's death, Old DuPont only smiles when playing with Vapoli.

What this old man did still makes me feel a little sad and even a little pitiful. Perhaps at this time, Vapori is a good medicine to heal his inner wounds.

For this reason, I asked Natalia to accompany Old DuPont more. At this time, family affection is often more important than anything else.
