It was already after New Year's Day, and the new year came.

Robert went back to Yrinas after dealing with the follow- up matters. Zabel Group failed bottom fishing and its funds were locked up, so it had no choice but to sell a large number of industries.

Robert had expected that and he immediately invested in the acquisition of the industry sold by Zabel Group.

Now Robert had a lot of cash, bank loans, and Red Ant Consortium's financing, which made him full of confidence!

The industry of Zabel Group shrank step by step.

The Quesnell manor in Acocester.

Louis was looking at the financial report of last year. His wrinkles were all squeezed together, with sadness in his muddy eyes.

Now the situation of the Quesnell family was getting more and more worse.

As a long- established family, the Quesnell family had always been relying on industries.

But now it was getting harder to do industrial business. The better parts were all occupied by enterprises like Zabel Group, so the survival space of the Quesnell family was becoming less. Most importantly, there was no younger generation in the family who could shoulder any heavy responsibility.

In fact, Louis thought there were only two young members who were capable in the Quesnell family.

One was Marilyn, but the Quesnell family had always been patriarchal. Women would not be valued by them at all.

The other was Gavin. He had good ability and mentality, but he didn't want to take over the traditional business of the family and was always engaged in software development.

Louis didn't like the rest of the young generation.

In the study, Louis sighed heavily and murmured, " If we can get some market share from Acocester, the Quesnell family would be saved. Unfortunately, all these market shares are in the hands of big families. The Quesnell family couldn't have a chance." Louis shook his head and felt dim about the future of the Quesnell family.

Louis put down the financial report and felt tired.

He knew that he was too old to last long. Once he fell, the Quesnell family's business would be destroyed.

Suddenly, the door of the study was opened, and a middle- aged man rushed in.

" Dad! Something happened!" Louis frowned, " Why are you still so impatient? What's wrong?" " Zabel Group! Zabel Group sold all the industries in the city!" Louis was shocked. " How is that possible? Those industries were important to Zabel Group. How could they sell them? When did it happen? Do we have a chance to buy it?" The last sentence showed Louis' main goal.

If the Quesnell family could buy it, even if its price was higher than the market price, there would be a turnaround for the Quesnell family.

As long as one of the bridges was built, all the other roads would be opened! Running a business was the same thing.

The middle- aged man shook his head and said," Dad, we have no chance. As soon as Zabel Group sold the industry, it was taken away by others. I heard that the reason why Zabel Group sold its industrial business was that Robert had set up Zabel Group, making hundreds of millions of dollars of its funds trapped. Zabel Group's capital chain had broken down, and was relieved by selling shares. But now it can only sell industries to alleviate." "I'm fooled by Robert!" Louis took a deep breath and thought of the young man. He could not help praising, " He is really good. If there were such a person in our Quesnell family, we wouldn't have fallen into this situation now! So, who has taken over the industries of Zabel Group?" " It was taken over by Zabinski Group. Now those industries are all owned by Zabinski Group." " Zabinski Group!" Louis was shocked and took several deep breaths in a row." Hurry up! Ask Lena to go to Yrinas immediately! She has to be respectful when she goes to Robert for a peace talk, I won't let anyone stop Marilyn from marrying Robert!"
