Dragon Clan: Undercover at the beginning, the road to becoming a god

On the morning when the Gattuso family went bankrupt, the Gattuso family had not yet applied for bankruptcy protection. They were liquidating their remaining assets and planned to exchange enough cash for cash before all funds were frozen to ensure their basic life after bankruptcy.

For ordinary entrepreneurs, bankruptcy may be a huge piece of bad news worth jumping off the building.

But for the Gattuso family, bankruptcy does not mean the complete disintegration of the family.

Friends made based on money are bound to dissolve, but families built based on blood ties are much tougher than ordinary people imagine.

Of course, there may be many family members who do not want to be dragged down by the family and may leave.

But the core members cannot and will not leave.

The Gattuso family actually implements a military system. If people within the family want to break away, the price they pay will never be small.

Of course, being completely bankrupt and completely out of money would also be a huge, almost fatal blow to the Gattuso family.

Now the Gattuso family can only hibernate, store all resources, and minimize consumption.

They won't be able to take action again until the next turning point.

Before that, their goal was only one - survival, survival at all costs.

"Mr. Frost, there is a matter that requires your decision."

In the busy courtyard, Frost leaned on his cane and watched museums and collectors coming in and out of the Gattuso family. Today, the Gattuso family has become popular again, but Frost is not happy because These people are not here to socialize but to recycle antiques and artworks. Because of the large volume, a large part of them are second-rate dealers.

Pompeii's collection has almost been sold off, and what is being sold now is the family's property. Although the Gattuso family is a nouveau riche, it is often the nouveau riche who like to buy a large number of luxury goods and works of art to decorate their appearance. Pompeii certainly He is the head of the family who has the most collections, but there are definitely not a few family heads in the past who like to collect, and the accumulation is not a small number.

Since we are preparing for hibernation, these luxurious and useless things should naturally be exchanged for tangible benefits. Anyway, the Gattuso family is about to be completely bankrupt, and there is no need to have any interests with other forces, nor do they need to use these things to decorate their appearance.

The prosperity of the Gattuso family was cut off by his own hands, and now Frost saw the scene of selling off the family property and felt pain in his heart.

He is the type who puts the honor of his family above his own life. The reason why he became the acting head of the family is more for the sense of responsibility and honor than for the power of the head of the family.

Now that Frost has seen his family's class fall, plummeting directly to the center of the earth, he is sadder than anyone else.

As a mixed race, his body is extremely strong, and he can even smash a mahogany table with one punch. But at this moment, watching the honor and assets accumulated by the Gattuso family being transported out bit by bit, if it were not for the support of the cane, he would almost fall. .

At this moment, Patsy, who was responsible for selling off the property and conducting statistics, arrived, supported Frost in time, and asked him questions.

"whats the matter?"

Frost looked at Patsy and asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

Noticing Frost's face at this moment, Patsy suddenly showed a shocked expression.

Frost has always been a person who pays attention to appearance. Many times he even puts elegance before profit. He has always wanted to get rid of negative names such as nouveau riche and make the Gattuso family look like an ancient mixed-race family.

But now, his face seemed to have suddenly aged ten or twenty years overnight. Not only did he have many wrinkles, but his originally calm and wise eyes were also filled with bloodshot eyes.

He was not attacked, but simply because the huge blow to his mentality was reflected on his body.

As the acting head of the family, Frost was originally very ambitious and always wanted to promote the Gattuso family from a nouveau riche to a real emperor, but now the Gattuso family can't even keep their title of nouveau riche in his hands.

Although from a certain perspective, it is true that he has thrown off his hat of nouveau riche, but the method is not satisfactory.

After the shock, Patsy realized his disrespect, immediately lowered his head and continued to report.

"Someone wants to pay for the family's land on the outskirts of Rome, and the price is not too low."

Frost didn't pay attention to Patsy's expression. After hearing what he reported, he frowned and asked.

"Is it necessary for me to handle this kind of thing? Didn't I say that as long as it is not a necessary asset, it can be sold as long as the price is right."

Now that the Gattuso family is cutting off its tail to survive, there is no need to keep any redundant assets.

The money after the assets are sold is deposited in other accounts and will not be liquidated by bankruptcy.

Hearing what Frost said, Patsy hesitated and reminded.

"But, Mr. Frost, the only piece of land our family has left on the outskirts of Rome is the Pantheon."

If it was Frost in the past, he wouldn't need to explain it so clearly, but now Patsy felt that he needed to explain clearly.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Frost was immediately stunned.

The Pantheon is the residence of the elders and a temple converted into a venue, which is equivalent to the ancestral hall of the Gattuso family.

Although it is not the same concept as the ancestral grave, if this thing is sold, it will prove that the Gattuso family is indeed at the end of its rope.

"That is the most important location of our Gattuso family, and it is also the residence that the elders have not changed for hundreds of years. How can it be sold so easily!"

Sure enough, as Patsy expected, Frost was very excited when he heard the news and immediately refused.

"Okay! Then I'll reject the buyer right now!"

Patsy immediately nodded and accepted the order.

However, before he could finish his words, Frost grabbed him.

"Refuse, who asked you to refuse?"

Looking at Frost's eyes, Patsy was a little confused.

Didn't you say that you wanted to refuse?

"Then what did you mean just now...?"

he asked tentatively.

"That is the ancestral land of the Gattuso family. It used to be the ruins of an ancient Roman temple. After generations of repairs by our Gattuso family, it has become a very valuable cultural relic."

Frost hurriedly explained the various advantages of the Pantheon.

Finally, all the advantages converge into one sentence.

"You have to pay more!"

It suddenly dawned on Patsy that when Frost said he couldn't sell it easily, he actually meant that the price would increase.

He actually didn't hear the meaning just now, and he couldn't help but feel inadequate about his secretary training.

After some reflection, he wondered.

"If the Pantheon is also sold, what will the elders do?"

"Move to the basement!"

Frost shook his head.

"Wherever the elders are, that is the ancestral temple of our Gattuso family. As long as we remain respectful in our hearts, that's all."

After speaking, he added in a low voice.

"If it continues to be placed in the Pantheon, the cost of maintenance will be too high."

The Pantheon itself is a cultural relic, so it needs to be repaired every year, which is not cheap.

Anyway, the elders are lying in coffins. Since they can lie down anywhere, why not lie down in the basement? This saves a lot of money.

Patsy nodded, fully understanding what Frost meant.

However, he did not leave immediately, but continued to speak.

"By the way, Mr. Frost, I have another thing to ask for."

"What's up?"

"The family's fleet requires regular payment of funds for maintenance, and just now the person in charge was asking me about renewing the contract."

Patsy lowered his head slightly, and his long bangs covered his eyes, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

"Fleet maintenance?"

Frost frowned deeply when he heard Patsy's words.

"How come there is still such a thing in the family? Didn't I say before that all entertainment assets should be sold?"

Nowadays, the Gattuso family is short of money. All funds have to be spent on the tip of the knife, and their living standards have to be reduced to the lowest. How can they have any spare money to spend on maintaining the fleet?

"But you also said before that the young master's team is not on the sale list..."

Percy said in a troubled tone.

"Caesar?!"

Frost opened his mouth slightly, then remembered that he had indeed said this.

Caesar is the long-awaited heir of the family and the emperor destined by destiny. In order to restore the family's weight in his heart, Frost is unwilling to do anything that displeases him.

These days, although the Gattuso family is in a precarious state and on the verge of bankruptcy, he has never placed any restrictions on Caesar's spending, which can be said to be very conniving.

Even now, he doesn't want to sell Caesar's toys, as that will undoubtedly affect the relationship between the two parties.

But after a slight silence, he shook his head.

"The family is facing such a crisis. It's time for Caesar to grow up and add his toys to the sale list. Now is the moment of survival for the family. If we continue to indulge Caesar, the family will also be divided."

Although he loved Caesar, he loved the Gattuso family even more. When the two were put on the balance, he made his choice without hesitation.

"yes!"

Patsy responded immediately.

There was some sigh in my heart.

Even now, all Frost thinks about is continuing to pamper Caesar.

If it weren't for the fact that continuing to give Caesar super high treatment would cause imbalance within the family and increase the risk of family division, I'm afraid Frost would still be willing to continue supporting Caesar.

Caesar's treatment was really too high, even higher than that of Pompeii, the decent head of the family.

You know, after the disappearance of the head of the Pompeii family, the family still has no energy to search for him on a large scale!

Just when Patsy was getting ready to leave.

Frost suddenly stopped him.

"Wait! Percy, after these fleets are sold, does Caesar still have cars? No matter how difficult the conditions are, he won't be left without a scooter."

After making the decision to confiscate the fleet, Frost thought about the problem and immediately became concerned.

Although the Gattuso family was in decline, no matter how poor they were, they could not impoverish Caesar, and no matter how miserable they were, they could not impoverish Caesar.

At least leave him a car for transportation.

Hearing his question, Patsy paused slightly and spoke with a complicated expression.

"Young Master, there is also a Bugatti Veyron over there."

This was Pompeii's birthday gift to Caesar. Although Caesar didn't like it, Pompeii sent it directly to the school and kept it there.

"Bugatti Veyron... forget it, it's barely usable."

Frost frowned slightly, subconsciously feeling that a sports car driven by a playboy did not suit the style of the Gattuso family, but he quickly realized that the Gattuso family had no style anymore, so he could only acquiesce.

Even in such a desperate situation, a car worth one million euros is still barely usable in his eyes.

After hearing what Frost said, Patsy pondered for a few seconds and then asked again.

"Should I tell the young master about the family's affairs? The young master will receive new bills every week. Although it is still affordable for now, if this continues for a long time..."

With the wealth of the Gattuso family, Caesar could not spend it all no matter how much he spent.

But after bankruptcy, it would be a bit difficult to continue to bear the expenses of Caesar's various sex acts.

Although it is not completely unaffordable, doing so will sacrifice the reliability of the family and the plan, and will also cause other people in the family to have opinions. The side effects are too great.

Hearing what Patsy said, Frost hesitated for a few seconds before speaking.

"Tell Caesar directly about the family affairs later! Now that the matter is over, it is impossible for Caesar to be completely unaware of the family's situation, but there is no need to make him worry about it. Tell Caesar to let him study hard."

"As for Caesar's expenses, the family can only provide him with fixed living expenses in the future. The extra money can no longer be provided. Let him save some money and stop having sex."

After speaking, Frost added another sentence.

"Before that, remember to clear all of Caesar's bills. He is still a child and should not be under too much pressure."
