All of that isn't important! What matters is one's own wife and child!
Thud, thud, thud! Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard. "Come in," Chris said lightly. Leif Tate walked in with a respectful expression. "Mr. Shelby!"
At present, Leif Tate, the overseas market manager of the Chester Group, was fully responsible for Chester Group's overseas market. Chris addressed Leif Tate first, "Your timing is perfect. I have something to entrust to you! King's Leagues on Star Island has promised to fully support Chester Group in developing the overseas market!"
"Arrange to go with me to Star Island to inspect the market."
"Yes," Leif Tate said respectfully. He had already received the news of the destruction of the Jefferson family and the death of Ron Jefferson on Star Island. Upon hearing this news, Leif Tate was almost stunned!
You see, he had served the Jefferson family for decades and knew their power on Star Island better than anyone. The Jefferson family was one of the top families on Star Island. Ron Jefferson was not only the head of the Jefferson family but also a senior elder of King's Leagues. Yet, despite such a strong force, they were easily destroyed by Chris! Leif Tate was thoroughly impressed by Chris. In the presence of Chris, Leif Tate couldn't help but feel an involuntary sense of awe.
"However..." Suddenly, Leif Tate hesitated. "However, what? Don't beat around the bush. If you have something to say, say it directly!" Chris frowned. Leif Tate took a deep breath, "Mr. Shelby, our Chester Group's desire to do business on Star Island cannot rely solely on King's Leagues' support. After all, King's Leagues is an underground force on Star Island, whereas our Chester Group operates legitimate business. Therefore, King's Leagues can't offer us much help."
"The most important point is, I've worked for the Jefferson family for many years and I understand the distribution of power on Star Island very well! When doing business on Star Island, we can never bypass one family, the foremost family on Star Island-the Lee family!"
"Lee family?" Hearing this, Chris glanced at Leif Tate, signaling him to continue. Leif Tate explained, "The Lee family is the top family on Star Island, controlling eighty percent of the island's commercial resources. The Lee Group under Lee family is a behemoth on Star Island, just like our company's position domestically!"
"Previously, although the Jefferson family was known as a major family on Star Island, they were far inferior to the Lee family. Otherwise, Ron Jefferson wouldn't have placed such importance on the Isa Group! It's because the market on Star Island has been monopolized by the Lee family, and even the Jefferson family couldn't intervene!"
"Moreover, every company doing business on Star Island must pay respect to the Lee Group, and they also have to hand over ten percent of their annual profits to the Lee Group. If they don't, foreign enterprises cannot do business on Star Island." Leif Tate's words were very clear. It indicated that the Lee family had monopolized all of Star Island's commercial resources. Every company coming to Star Island to do business had to pay a protection fee to the Lee family. Without paying, they couldn't operate on Star Island.
"Tch," Chris sneered, "This Lee family sure knows how to dream. They actually demand ten percent of the profits from every company doing business on Star Island. On what grounds? Just because they have a big presence?"
