Chapter 2419

Owen had a very unpleasant expression on his face until the meeting ended. This time, in his opinion, there were a few disturbances in the middle of the meeting that were supposed to be a sure thing, so he was fuming.

Originally, he wanted to use the results of this meeting as capital in the future, but now it seemed that this idea would come to nothing.

Harry looked at Owen’s unpleasant expression, smiled, patted his shoulder, and said softly, “These are nothing. After all, we have achieved the core goal.”

Compared to Owen’s loss, Harry’s heart was cairn.

For him, as long as he could achieve the goal of maximizing the interests of the United Kingdom, his mission was accomplished. As for how much benefit he would get, that was not within the scope of his consideration.

He was just a member of the royal family and did not have the leading power in domestic policy. This so-called political performance capital could not change his succession anyway. In contrast, the stability of relations with other countries was what he cared more about.

After all, according to the tradition of the United Kingdom, the prime minister’s office was in charge of internal affairs, while the royal family was in charge of foreign affairs. The latter was what the royal family needed to do its best to maintain its status.

Owen’s face was dark, and he did not respond to Harry’s comforting words.

He was actually a little annoyed that Harry just stood by, but he also knew that he had no reason to blame Harry.

“Everyone, I have a new proposal.”

Just when Owen thought this embarrassing meeting was finally coming to an end, Shulman’s nasty voice said just in time.

“Shulman, do you have anything else to add to the subject of the current meeting?”

Owen glared at Shulman and made up his mind that no matter what resolution Shulman proposed, he would resolutely oppose it. He hated Shulman for going against him in his heart.

“I think everyone may have overlooked one force, which is the largest holder of Qari oil, the Kurt family!”

“The Kurt family is now headed by Kimbra, and there is now reliable evidence that he is being controlled by the Rothschilds. We have allocated the ownership of the relevant supporting industries now, but what if the other party suddenly deliberately troubles us in terms of the most critical raw materials?”

“Everyone, don’t forget how we treated the five major families this afternoon. The interests of the United States are indeed closely related to Rothschild, but this does not mean that Rothschild will always put the interests of the United States first!” Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

Shulman’s words forced Owen to swallow his rebuttal.

This might not be a problem before the gun ban was passed because Kimbra could use force to launch a rebellion. After that, they could also use the mercenary group to beat them at their own game. However, now that the gun ban was passed, it would not be easy to handle.

“I heard that Mr. Nana had a relationship with Mr. Baltimore of the Kurt family. I think it would be better for Mr. Nana and Somerland behind him to handle this matter. After all, Mr. Nana is also a participant in our meeting, so he deserves this much.”

Owen showed joy on his face before he said with a smile, “I agree!”

He had fully understood Shulman’s true intentions.

On the surface, they were providing Nana and Somerland with the opportunity to strive for more benefits in Qari, but in fact, they were raising a difficult point and Nana could not refuse.

Shulman was playing checks and balances. He was not satisfied with consuming the United Kingdom. He wanted to use this to consume Somerland’s stake in Qari as well!

To their surprise, Nana did not refuse at all. Instead, he smiled, “I also agree with Mr. Shulman’s point of view…”

Getting in touch with the Kurt family was the main purpose of his trip, not to mention that he had already planted a spy in the Kurt family’s house.

Owen and Shulman’s plan, which they were quite proud of, ended up being a great aid to him. This was an opportunity for Somerland to get their hands on the power to bargain over the price of energy.

Of course, he happily agreed.
