00:00When Kevin got to his office at Williams Media, he found out that the company's shares were
00:16about to tank.
00:17He suspected that the Williams family was behind the manipulation of stocks in the largest
00:22companies in Chicago.
00:24He called his uncle Thomas to find out if he was behind it.
00:27The family wanted him to come back to New York to talk it out with his grandfather.
00:32Kevin didn't answer him, he just hung up the phone.
00:35Then he tapped on his desk while he thought about what to do.
00:39He couldn't understand how the Williams family had suddenly found enough money to do this.
00:44Their situation was desperate.
00:47After thinking for a while, Kevin decided to call Mitchell Cook, Adriana Wright, Gilbert
00:52Rhodes and the others to come to an emergency meeting at his office.
00:56In an hour, they'd all arrived.
00:59Mr. Williams, what's going on?
01:01Why did the Williams family suddenly launch this financial attack on Chicago?
01:06Adriana was the first to ask.
01:08With their influence, they'll have no trouble taking over all the major industries in the
01:12city.
01:13But the way they're doing it, they'll destroy the entire economy, Cook said bitterly.
01:18As the most prominent business leaders in Chicago, they naturally found who was behind
01:24this madness, but they didn't understand the reason behind it.
01:28Gilbert Rhodes suddenly stood up, looked directly at Kevin and asked, Mr. Williams, are they
01:33doing this to get even with you?
01:36It's useless to dwell on that now.
01:38The important thing is that the Williams family has already made their move, Kevin said stoically.
01:44Hearing this, Cook and the others were unsure how to respond to the threat.
01:49They were considered to be the most influential business leaders in all of Chicago with enormous
01:54financial resources, but they still didn't have enough clout to stand up to the colossal
02:00financial power of the Williams family.
02:02They simply weren't a match for them.
02:05Let's not get pessimistic.
02:07The reason I called you here today is to discuss countermeasures, Kevin said confidently.
02:13Mr. Williams, just tell me what to do.
02:16We'll support you with all we've got, no matter what, Emo Squire said very frankly.
02:22That's right.
02:23Without you, we wouldn't be where we are today, Adriana said optimistically.
02:28Mitchell Cook and Gilbert Rhodes didn't say anything, but they nodded in agreement.
02:34Kevin thought for a moment and said, although the situation looks critical, it doesn't mean
02:39that the Williams family will definitely succeed.
02:43The first step we need to take is to stabilize the stock market.
02:47Kevin slammed his fist on his desk and said firmly, let's use our money to push back at
02:53them.
02:54Kevin is right.
02:56We definitely can't avoid it.
02:58They're playing rough, so we will, too.
03:00Even if it kills us, we'll make sure they don't get out of this unhurt, Mitchell Cook
03:05said forcefully.
03:07Within an hour of the meeting, everyone in the stock exchange was shocked as everyone
03:12watched.
03:13The Williams group stepped up and invested three billion dollars.
03:17After that, Mitchell Cook, Adriana and the others followed suit.
03:21Each of them took billions of dollars and poured everything they could into the stock
03:25market.
03:27The enormous transfers of funds attracted everyone's attention.
03:31When the stock market closed in the afternoon, they had managed to stabilize Chicago's financial
03:36position.
03:37Cook and the others promised that they would follow Williams media's lead and match Kevin's
03:42actions.
03:43They vowed to protect Chicago's financial base, even if it cost them their lives and
03:48their fortunes.
03:50That night, the Jones family held a meeting in their mansion.
03:54How much of our stock fell today?
03:57Grandma Jones asked with a gloomy expression.
04:00Grandma, our shares dropped by 60 percent, one of her nephews said with a depressed look
04:05on his face.
04:07There was silence in the room while they tried to figure out how to respond.
04:11What can we do?
04:13If this keeps up, we may lose everything, Grandma Jones said with some frustration.
04:19This kind of economic war wasn't something that a small family could afford to be in.
04:23Grandma, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if everyone will agree, Jason said slowly.
04:30Oh, what do you suggest?
04:33Grandma Jones asked in surprise.
04:35Didn't Williams media lead the way today?
04:38Why don't we take half of our shares and buy into their company?
04:42Jason explained carefully.
04:44That way, however this turns out, we'll at least be able to maintain half of our wealth.
04:50That's right.
04:51We can ask Williams media for help, one of his uncles replied.
04:55But they still weren't sure if Williams media would go along with this.
04:59They also weren't sure they'd be able to work together.
05:01Kevin, who was standing next to Lily, frowned slightly when he heard this.
05:06He instantly understood Jason's ultimate goal.
05:10Lily, what do you think about Jason's proposal?
05:14Grandma Jones asked gently.
05:16It's up to you to decide, Grandma, Lily said with a sullen look on her face.
05:21The Jones Corporation shares were dropping in value and they were practically bleeding
05:26money.
05:27They didn't see any other way to stop it.
05:30All right, since you said that the decision is up to Grandma, then you'll have to contribute
05:3450% of the company's shares, Jason said deviously.
05:39Kevin stood up before Lily could say anything.
05:42Jason, what do you mean?
05:44What right do you have to make my wife turn over all her shares?
05:4760% of the company's shares are now in Lily's hands.
05:51If she doesn't do this, then who will?
05:53Jason said with a sour look on his face.
05:56If she still considers herself to be a member of the Jones family, then she needs to do
06:00this right now.
06:03Lily then started arguing, claiming that the shares weren't really hers and that it was
06:06about time she did something for the family.
06:09The discussion got louder and louder.
06:12Quiet, Grandma Jones said loudly.
06:15Stop arguing.
06:17Then Grandma Jones looked at Lily and forced a smile.
06:21Lily, this concerns the survival of our family.
06:25Why don't you turn over your shares?
06:28In any case, don't you agree that it's not fair for them to be in your hands anyway?
06:33I don't agree, Kevin shouted.
06:36What did you say?
06:38Grandma Jones snapped back.
06:40Before Kevin could say anything, Jason jumped on him too.
06:43Kevin, don't think you're so special just because you know a few rich people.
06:48If you're so great, why don't you get them to bail us out?
06:52They all started to criticize Kevin again, complaining that he wasn't a true member of
06:57the family and had no voice in their meetings.
07:00Then Jason continued to explain his plan.
07:03Grandma, I recently met with a senior member of Williams Media.
07:07As long as Lily is willing to turn over her shares, I have a way to transfer them to Williams
07:12Media.
07:13After the crisis is over, we can sell them and buy back control of our company.
07:18And how do we allocate the shares after that, Kevin asked loudly.
07:23Everyone stopped talking when he said this.
07:26Grandma Jones had an unhappy look on her face.
07:29Lily wanted to say something, but she just couldn't get herself to speak.
07:33Grandma is the head of the family.
07:35Of course, the shares would go to her, Jason said very naturally.
07:39Jason, you have no shame, Kevin said loudly.
07:44How dare you disagree with me, Jason grumbled.
07:47From what you're saying, it sounds like Lily isn't willing to go along with this plan anyway.
07:53Just as Kevin was about to say something else, Lily tugged on his sleeve.
07:58Lily, what do you think we should do?
08:01Grandma Jones asked in a slow, calculating voice.
08:04Grandma, as long as you think it's appropriate, I have no objections, Lily said tensely.
08:11When she heard this, a smile immediately appeared on Grandma Jones's face.
08:15Jason's mouth also curled into a wicked smile and a proud expression flashed in his eyes.
08:21No, Kevin shouted.
08:24What did you say?
08:26Grandma Jones said as she looked at Kevin angrily.
08:29If we must use our shares for this transfer, Grandma, you should contribute 20% and my
08:35wife should give 30%.
08:37Moreover, after the crisis is resolved, the shares should revert to their respective owners,
08:43Kevin said matter of factly.
08:45How dare you?
08:47Grandma Jones yelled as she banged her fist on her armrest.
08:50Do you have the right to speak here?
08:52Get out.
08:54Grandma Jones stared at Kevin menacingly.
08:57This was the second time Kevin had contradicted her in public.
09:01If she didn't teach him a lesson now, she wouldn't have any control over him in the
09:05future.
09:07Kevin suddenly sneered and said, you people are really funny.
09:12What are you laughing at?
09:14Grandma Jones asked hesitantly.
09:16I'm laughing at the Jones family.
09:19You do consider yourselves to be a family, don't you?
09:22How could you be so desperate?
09:25Kevin sneered and continued.
09:27First, you want to use my wife and exchange her for Meriwether shares.
09:33Now that the shares are in her hands, you want to trick her into giving them back to
09:37you.
09:38Can't you see how funny that is?
09:41Everyone stared at him awkwardly, but none of them refuted him because they knew he was
09:45telling the truth.
09:47You bastard, someone throw him out of here.
09:51Grandma Jones screamed.
09:53Who's willing to take the first swing?
09:56Kevin said calmly as he looked around the room.
09:59Kevin knew they wouldn't try anything.
10:01They'd all seen how he pulverized Meriwether in just a couple of minutes.
10:06All right, Kevin, Lily said as she suddenly stood up and took him by the hand.
10:11She turned to Grandma Jones and said, Grandma, it's getting late.
10:16Let's talk about this again tomorrow.
10:18Then Lily led Kevin out the door.
10:20When Jason saw that Grandma Jones wasn't going to stop them, he didn't say anything.
10:26After all, Lily was currently holding the high cards, and right now there was nothing
10:30he could do about it.
10:32Lily, I'll let you and that useless husband of yours appreciate the moment, but when you
10:37lose your shares, I'll teach you a lesson, Jason thought to himself.
10:42As Kevin and Lily got into their car and drove away, no one said anything.
10:48When Kevin got to the office the next day, Miss Wilson had already been waiting for him
10:52for half an hour.
10:54What is it, Kevin asked worriedly.
10:56He couldn't let Williams' media fail, not when he knew that it would be so useful for
11:00him in the future.
11:02Sir, many of our senior executives want to have a meeting with you.
11:06Miss Wilson didn't answer Kevin's question directly, but he could tell from her serious
11:10expression that the news wasn't good.
11:13Okay, have them wait for me in the meeting room in half an hour, Kevin said thoughtfully.
11:19Next Kevin checked the company stock situation on his computer.
11:23As the markets opened, their share prices fell by ten percent.
11:27By now, they had already lost hundreds of millions.
11:31Kevin sighed slightly and took out the bracelet that he'd bought from Ruben at Phoebe's Antique
11:36Store.
11:37What's the use?
11:39Kevin said with a slight frown.
11:41While he was turning the bracelet over and over in his hand, he started to feel more
11:45relaxed and confident.
11:46That's odd, he thought to himself.
11:49Then he took a closer look at the stone that was set in the bracelet.
11:53It wasn't a green emerald at all.
11:56It was actually a green tourmaline.
11:59How could he have made such a rookie mistake?
12:02But it did explain why he was drawn to it in the first place.
12:05Kevin slowly put the bracelet on the table.
12:08After thinking for a moment, he decided to call Officer Emmett to ask her opinion.
12:13After all, she had set him on the path to making herbal remedies.
12:17Maybe she knew something about this too.
12:19Hello, Kevin.
12:21What do you want?
12:23Officer Emmett answered in a surprised tone.
12:26I was wondering what you might know about green tourmaline, Kevin asked hesitantly.
12:32I was wondering when you might ask me something like that, she said frankly.
12:36A lot of people believe that certain stones can help you to focus your energy to relax
12:41or work on your health.
12:43Things like that.
12:44Interesting, Kevin smiled and said.
12:47I felt drawn to a tourmaline bracelet the other day at the antique store.
12:52What do you think?
12:53Why should I tell you, Officer Emmett said jokingly.
12:57I'm serious, Kevin insisted.
12:59I'll tell you, but you need to say please, Officer Emmett replied mischievously.
13:05Come on, I'm serious.
13:07Kevin was starting to get frustrated.
13:09He knew she was just teasing, but he didn't have a lot of time for this today.
13:14Come on, just once, what's the magic word?
13:18Officer Emmett tried again.
13:19Okay, please, Kevin said in a very low voice.
13:24I'm sorry, I can't hear you.
13:26Could you speak up?
13:27Officer Emmett said in a satisfied tone.
13:30Kevin took a deep breath and said very clearly, please.
13:35That's better, Officer Emmett said.
13:37Come to the downtown Luxe Banks office in an hour.
13:40Don't forget to bring the bracelet.
13:42I'll explain everything to you then.
13:44See you later.
13:45She hung up before Kevin could say goodbye.
13:48Miss Wilson came into Kevin's office as soon as he put his phone in his pocket.
13:53Mr. Williams, all the senior executives are waiting for you in the conference room.
13:57Kevin nodded and left the office.
14:00This was the first high-level meeting that Kevin had held since he took over Williams
14:04Media, so a lot of them didn't have a great impression of his leadership abilities.
14:09As soon as he walked into the conference room, one of the vice presidents stood up and said,
14:13Mr. Williams, we can't fight this anymore.
14:17Even if we win, we'll suffer heavy losses.
14:20The executives were all panicked about what the Williams family was doing to their company.
14:25They were willing to give up and let them buy them out if that was what it took to save
14:29Williams Media.
14:31Kevin sat patiently and listened to them.
14:33Finally, Kevin's eyes swept across the room before he slowly said, Are you all done?
14:39Sir, I strongly recommend that we give in, one of the older, more experienced executives
14:45said firmly.
14:47How much money did the Williams family offer you to make you react like this?
14:52Kevin asked calmly.
14:53When he said this, the entire meeting room grew quiet.
14:57Kevin leaned forward in his chair and looked everyone in the eye one by one before he said,
15:03I came to this meeting today to tell you something.
15:07If anyone feels that fighting the Williams family is a mistake, please leave now.
15:14Then Kevin sat back in his chair, feeling very confident and relaxed.
15:18He knew that they would get through this, but he just wasn't sure.
15:22Hi, guys.
15:23Kevin here.
