大神同学想被吃掉的樱花

Joseph's tone had always been low, "This kind of thing is also common." However, he did understand the significance of Lake's shareholders. After Henry's death, William became the backbone of the Lake family. Although William's shares were not as much as Roy, after all, he was the elder in the Lake family.

And William agitated that only a few shareholders in the Lake were against his opinion, and few were against the scrapping of the mine and the later survey. So it was clear he was trying to use this opportunity to drive Joseph out.

In William's mind, it became increasingly apparent that driving out Joseph was important after Henry died. Of course, Joseph did not mention it, but it didn't mean he hadn't seen it.

"I don't want to own any more shares in the Lake," Irish said unhappily.

She had thought that although she hated Henry, at least she could also live at her will. But at present, she felt that the burden was hefty.

Joseph looked at her and said with pity, "You are really a woman."

Irish changed her posture and leaned against him. "Do you really agree with the post-survey?"

Joseph thought, shaking his head, "For South Africa's No. 1 mine, for so many years, the Lake had not been to the scene. In addition to your father, it had been under my management, so I know the situation of the No.1 mine. To do the survey is to know how much and how many benefits there are left. To tell the truth, in my experience, the quality of the No. 1 mine, even if it is still mineable, the benefits were not that huge. Likely, excavated diamonds, even if they were sold in second-and-third-tier cities, the quality is only ordinary. All Runestone products highly obtain the best exquisite and rare quality. By looking at the quality of the No.1 mine, it no longer follows the quality standards stipulated by the Runestone Group, so I don't recommend continuing the operation but ended up losing huge money later on."

"I believe your judgment, so I decided to support you," said Irish with certainty.

Joseph smiled and kissed her on the forehead. "Thank you for your trust." Then he said, "Since the listing, the shareholders of the Lake family have made a lot of money from corruption and bribery, which is why I keep financing and diluting their shares. Only a few I didn't remove yet because they contributed to the Runestone, and they are original shareholders. But you must be prepared, and my next financing plan will take in more fresh blood."

Irish was shocked, "In this way, the shares of the Lakes would be diluted, Roy's, William's, and mine."

"And Jordan's and mine will be diluted too." Joseph told her clearly, "Listed companies, if self-contained, can only be killed by the alligator. The Runestone Group is my painstaking effort, and I cannot watch it be bitten to death."

This was the first time Joseph had talked about high-level business with Irish. All along, as long as he returned home, he mentioned nothing about the company's business, and the two only talked about their life.

Irish liked this change in Joseph, indicating that he had enough faith in her, but at the same time, she was also hurt. He was always in this kind of stormy wave, and others were against his every decision. But, because of the complexity of the Runestone Group and he treated it as his child, he would be anxious but still went forward.

At this time, she did not want to hear what William said about Joseph's ambition because only Joseph made trips to South Africa and personally went under the mine. Only he would even die for the Runestone Group to survive. Only Joseph was familiar with how to manage the company. Without him, the Runestone Group might have been gone. Even though Joseph had an ambition, she didn't care about it because she realized it was for the company's survival. Even if the Lake family scolded her for standing behind her husband and got accused of having no conscience, Irish would still clearly support him.

At Washington International Raceway.

The Formula 1 event officially kicked off the day, and Washington became the busiest venue.

Police uniformed patrols and plainclothes officers were visible in the main racetrack area.

And the Formula One racetrack was about 5.3 kilometers long. The best design of different angles had become an important reason for the Washington International Raceway to compete with the world-class ones and become the most challenging racetrack in the world.

It included the deceleration curve and the acceleration curve. The deceleration curve required the driver to reduce the speed from 300 kilometers per hour to 90 kilometers per hour immediately after the start of the car's full horsepower, and the acceleration track was to require the driver to speed up the car from 150 kilometers to 260 kilometers quickly. Therefore, the design requirements of the track are a great challenge to the control and response ability of the driver and even the physical aspect and the performance of the car.

Before the race started, in the raceway auditorium stood huge spectators.

A fixed stand with a canopy and an open-air stand designed with a lotus leaf shape could hold about 200,000 people while leaving no rich space. The main and deputy stand, the field command center, the motorcade living area, and the maintenance station were all in their respective duties, and the news center had begun the preparation of the whole live coverage. The television station, newspaper magazine, network, and other media reporters arrived at the racing venue early to find the best place to report.

Sponsors covered many areas and were all the best in the industry.

But the biggest sponsors weren't at the VIP table, and many media outlets were speculating about who was the biggest sponsor of the competition. The organizers were too secretive about answering the questions of the reporters.

In the driver's preparation area, engineers were nervous.

Jordan was dressed in a racing driver's suit and ready to go.

Joseph, Leo, and Irish were naturally on the scene.

After seeing Jordan, Irish came forward, patted him on the shoulder, looked up and down, and showed her thumb at him, "Good, this suit was very suitable for you, very handsome."

Jordan still looked cool, "I have been very handsome." 

Leo heard the words after a bright smile, "If you win the game, girls will look at you."

He shrugged his shoulders and looked at the silent young man, then looked at him and cleared his throat. "Hey, you two biggest sponsors, why don't you go to the VIP lounge and have a good time here?"

Those who had a little thought could hear Jordan's concern.

Leo glanced at Joseph and looked at Jordan.

"Someone is used to keeping a low profile."

Jordan heard that, he wanted to say something, but he stopped.

Irish looked at the time and touched Joseph's arm. "Hey, the car racing is about to start."

Then Joseph responded and got up.

Joseph looked at Jordan.

He did not return to the guest's table but went to Jordan, stopped before him, and his brow slightly frowned, and his expression was heavy.

Irish and Leo did not speak, watching this scene.

After a long time, Joseph just gently sighed, putting his big hand on Jordan's shoulder, and patted, "In the field, do not only focus on playing handsome. Safety is the most important."

The words were short and few, but they contained his worries and nervousness as his brother.
