Jasper was stunned by what the little prince said.
The little prince seemed to be very proud of f the fact that he was able to puzzle Jasper. He chuckled
and said, “Jasper, I admit that you are very smart; it is not too much. to say that you’re devilishly smart,
but you are not from a big family, so you won’t understand what is the most important thing to the
children from big
families.
“For us, the rise and fall of a big family should be measured by looking at a timeline of at least 30
years. Usually, in 5 years, 10 years, or even 20 years, we will prosper or decline temporarily, but this
doesn’t matter. As long as there is no danger of the family being wiped out within this short period, then
it is not a danger.
“The Royals and the Alvarados have just passed the first 30-year mark of being a big family. In these
30 years, when you look back, how many major events have happened? Even in the most arduous
circumstance, the people of our family were so poor that we can only afford to put food on the table, but
everyone survived that period and reached this point. From the perspective of a 30 year timeline, we
are on an upward trend with huge potential for growth.
“In this regard, you can look at the Davidsons and Millers. They are one of the few families that existed
before the founding of the country. Historically speaking, they were founded earlier than the Royals and
the Alvarados. This is especially true for the Millers, which has a history of at least 150 years.”
Moses smiled and nodded. Then, he said, ” Yes, the roots of our family is actually older than that of the
country. Dynasties will rise and fall, the same goes for families. In our country, the family with the
longest history and the most popularity should be the Kohlers in the Central Plains. They… They were
powerful in the feudal era, but they backed the wrong horse in the new era so they can only be the
mascot. However, they don’t care, even if they’re just mascots, it’s good enough that they can continue
their bloodline. Who said that a big family must
have the wealth of the country and monstrous authority?”
“The most important thing for a big family is survival.”
The little prince continued on Moses’ topic, “It’s true that survival is the priority of a big family, but after
solving the problem of survival, the only thing we care about is money and power.
Somerland has thousands of years of history. The idea of an official-rank oriented standard has been
deeply rooted, especially in family heirarchy.
“This has lasted from the consuls of Ancient Rome to modern liberal democracy. It’s the same for
common folks, big families, and also officials and nobles. No one can escape from the official -rank-
oriented standard.
“To be frank, we’re still making such a decision at this moment because of the official-rank-oriented
standard. In Somerland, you will only win if you suck u p to the royals. You might lose out if you d o that
to anyone else.”
Lord Alvarado added a closing sentence with a smile, “Swallow Capital is watching.”
After hearing that, Jasper was silent.
He seemed to understand what the children of the family were thinking.
Should he call them evil?
They were. As long as there were benefits, they would not care about competing for a profit with the
people, under-the-table manipulation, following bad examples, or even playing dirty or not.
However, they were pretty good at the same time.
It was still the same sentence. Everything existed for a reason.
In the current situation, could Jasper or Swallow Capital count on those retail investors and ordinary
people?
No.
At the end of the day, they were doing this to protect the interests of the people.
At this time, someone needed to stand up and make the necessary sacrifices.
So, these families would be the first to shoulder the burden.
Even they were willing to do this.
One should not assume that the families did not like being sacrificed.
It depended on who it was.
Just like the finishing touch of Lord Alvarado’s closing line, “Swallow Capital i s watching.”
