473 Queen!!!

Three children were currently looking at their own rooms. Therefore, after Chu Cichen closed the door, he turned and sat next to Shen Ruojing, listening to Shen Yuansong talk about the difficulties that the Shen family was facing.

Shen Yuansong sighed. “Jingjing may not know, but Cichen should have heard of it. Some ancient families in the world are controlling the economic lifeline of the entire world. They are best at making money. After several hundred years or even thousands of years of accumulation, their family’s wealth is enough to rival a country’s.”

Chu Cichen nodded. “There are three of these big families in the world. I know that one of them started with a bank. At its peak, their family’s business expanded all over the world. However, they gradually became low-key later on.”

Shen Yuansong nodded. “Ordinary wealthy families, even with assets worth tens of billions, cannot touch their core interests. Therefore, only a few people know about them. They control the global economic trend. When a family’s wealth accumulates to a certain extent, they need their approval to go further. The four great families of the capital chose one of them as a reliance to secure commercial positions and become the four most powerful families in China.

Shen Ruojing immediately asked, “Which one?”

Shen Yuansong said slowly, “The royal family of Country A.”

Shen Ruojing was taken aback. Country A was a constitutional monarchy located on the border of China, and the country’s policies were all subject to the king’s authority. It was a small country on earth that was usually inconspicuous. But unexpectedly, the royal family of Country A was one of the three major families that controlled the global economy?

She hesitated and asked, “What kind of dealings does the Shen family have with them?”

Shen Yuansong sighed. “At the start, when all the four families came into an alliance, the power between the four families was initially balanced. However, over the years, there had to be a ranking. My father was muddle-headed and signed another agreement with the royal family of Country A. They then helped the Shen family become the number one family in the capital.”

Shen Ruojing asked, “What does the Shen family have to pay?”

Shen Yuansong sighed. “Every daughter of the head of the Shen family must be sent to marry into the royal family of Country A.”
