Building The Strongest Family-Chapter 20: Family Meeting [ 3 ]

Arthur surveyed the room, his expression shifting to one of gravity as he announced, "As outlined in the documents, I've identified sixteen industries that our family will focus on developing over the next decade."

A wave of astonishment washed over Julian and the others. Ashley and their cousins were equally taken aback by Arthur's bold declaration.

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, Julian finally spoke up, "Arthur, if we dive into fifteen industries at once, won't we run short on capital? Where will we find the funds to support such ambitious ventures?"

Emily chimed in from the side, concern etched on her face. "Yeah, Arthur. Given the recent challenges our family and company have faced, no bank or financial institution seems willing to lend us money."

The group nodded in agreement, their gazes fixed on Arthur with a mix of worry and curiosity.

With a light chuckle and a dismissive wave of his hand, Arthur reassured them: "You don't need to fret about finances. In just a month's time, I'll secure so much funding that you won't know how to spend it all!"

"Huh?" The room fell silent as surprise flickered across their faces; they struggled to grasp what he meant.

"Just focus on completing your tasks," Arthur said matter-of-factly.

Julian nodded slowly. Although he was technically Arthur's uncle, at this moment Arthur held the reins as head of the family.

"Now let's take a closer look at these industries," Arthur continued confidently. He scanned the room before listing them off:

- Osborn Media and Entertainment Group

- Osborn Transportation Group

- Osborn Technology

- Osborn Supply Chain Group

- Osborn Hospital Group

- Osborn Mining & Resources Group

- Osborn Heavy Industry Group

- Osborn Winery & Beverages Group

- Osborn Security & Defense

- Osborn Capital

- Osborn Retail & E-commerce Group

As he concluded naming each industry poised for development, an awe-struck silence enveloped the room.

While Julian and some others had seen this list earlier in their documents, hearing it spoken aloud by Arthur added an extra layer of gravity.

Noticing their stunned expressions, Arthur smiled warmly. "I understand you're surprised, some of you might be wondering if we can truly manage this many industries."

They remained quiet but exchanged glances that seemed to say they were tentatively agreeing with him.

"Remember," Arthur emphasized, "this is merely our starting point. There are countless industries out there; for now, we're focusing on these fifteen."

Philip leaned forward skeptically and asked Margaret beside him: "Are you suggesting we aim for every industry in existence?"

"Yes," Arthur replied with unwavering confidence.

"Hisss!" The room fell silent as Julian and the others gasped, their eyes wide with disbelief.

They stared at Arthur as if he were a madman, grappling with the enormity of what he had just proposed.

Even at its peak, the Osborn Family had only dabbled in a handful of industries,in fact the number of industries the family used to be in didn't exceed one hand.

Now, here was Arthur, boldly declaring that they would venture into every industry imaginable!

Their shock was palpable; Arthur's ambition seemed almost insatiable.

"Why do you think we can't do it? Is it too much?" Arthur raised an eyebrow, challenging them to voice their doubts.

Julian shook his head slowly. "It's just... we're shocked," he admitted, his gaze fixed on Arthur. "Do you really think we can pull this off?"

Ashley chimed in, her voice laced with skepticism. "Honestly? It sounds impossible. I've never heard of anyone achieving something like this."

Arthur met their uncertain gazes and replied calmly, "Just because it hasn't been done before doesn't mean it can't be done. If it doesn't exist yet, I'll create it."

"I know this seems daunting," he continued passionately, "but remember what I said earlier: I'm determined to make our family the most powerful in the world, a family so influential that we could change economies with a snap of our fingers,a family so powerful that we can bankrupt countries if we want to ." His eyes burned with determination.

With unwavering confidence bolstered by his unique System, Arthur felt ready to tackle any challenge that lay ahead.

If he couldn't achieve what he envisioned with its help, well, that would be a fate worse than death.

As his words sank in, Julian and the others exchanged solemn looks filled with mixed emotions.

"Arthur," Margaret finally spoke up, her smile breaking through the tension. "I believe in you. I truly believe you can elevate our family to new heights."

Julian took a moment before nodding thoughtfully. "If big brother were here right now, he'd be proud of you.

The future of the Osborn Family is in your hands, I have faith you will lead us back to greatness."

Richard, Emily, Philip, Ashley and the others all nodded along with pride shining in their eyes as they looked at Arthur.

"I believe we can do this together," Arthur declared confidently after taking a deep breath. "And we'll witness it all unfold side by side!"

"Now listen up!" His tone shifted to serious as everyone turned their attention back to him.

"You're all going to dive into one or more industries," he stated firmly while glancing at his three uncles and two aunts.

"First Uncle, you'll spearhead the Osborn Technology Group; Second Uncle, you're tasked with launching the Osborn Real Estate & Construction Group; Third Uncle, you'll establish the Osborn Supply Chain Group; Second Aunt, you're taking charge of the Osborn Media & Entertainment Group; Ashley, you'll lead the Osborn Fashion & Cosmetics Group; and uncle Philip you will develop the Osborn Capital" Arthur said as his eyes flashed with deep thinking.

Julian, Nathaniel, Richard, Emily, Ashely and Philip, all of them had solemn faces as they looked at Arthur.

They know that the responsibility that Arthur have given them is no joke and they can't make any mistakes otherwise they will feel really ashame.

They are ready to develop the family together with Arthur and make it great and by developing the family industries can they help in the family development.
