In order to win over Donald Webb, Lord Banks asked his housekeeper to directly bring gifts to visit Webb's house. The chief butler of the Banks Family has the same qualifications and status as Stephen Thompson. Moreover, the chief steward represents not only himself, but also the head of the family, Lord Banks. Therefore, let the steward visit in person and it definitely gives the Webb family face. Lord Banks attaches great importance to the win over the Webb family, so he will let his butler come to visit on his behalf. Lord Banks also knew very well that he had become a rat crossing the street right now, and it was impossible for him to return to Eastcliff for a long while. So he must be prepared to stay in Southaven for a long time.
This incident gave him the feeling that it was a period of history when the British and French coalition forces invaded Eastcliff in 1860 and the Emperor hurriedly fled to Rehe. When the Anglo-French allied forces invaded Eastcliff, the Emperor fled in a panic like him. However, the fate of the Emperor is a bit miserable. After waiting for a year in Rehe, he didn't have the chance to return. As a result, he died in the second year after escaping to Rehe, and he was only 31 years old.
In order not to repeat the same mistake, Lord Banks had made a comprehensive plan for himself since the moment he fled from Eastcliff. He came to Southaven because he wanted to gain a foothold in Southaven, not only to bring all the top local families in Southaven, but also to quickly transfer the industries of the Banks Family across the country to Southaven to consolidate the development of the Banks Family in Southaven. He wanted to make Southaven the second base camp of the Banks Family. In addition, he also wanted to put his eldest son Zayne up again and let him serve as the acting chairman of the entire Banks Group.
Once Zayne becomes the acting chairman of the board, it means that he has been formally established as the "prince" of the Banks Family. This will not only allow Zayne to stick to him honestly, but also reduce the outside world's attention to him to a certain extent. What he thought was to draw Zayne over, let him be his own puppet, and show his face in the public, while he hides in Southaven to listen to politics, so as to ensure that his power will not be weakened by Zayne.
The entire Banks Family has been in the hands of Lord Banks for so many years, whether it is the shares of the group, the voting rights and veto rights of the board of directors, and the management rights of family trust funds, etc., all are in Lord Banks alone. Therefore, as long as he does not transfer these rights, even if Zayne sits in the position of acting chairman, he cannot have any real power, let alone take this opportunity to seek usurpation.
