"Even if you kill me, I won''t take the boat again, I swear!", Luke retched. All he could vomit in his stomach had been vomited on the boat long ago, and it was just some water. Two guys helped him from left to right, which attracted the attention of many people. He didn''t let the people around him let him go, because he knew his legs had long been disobedient. This damn ship, when on board, the whole world is shaking, but the sky is not shaking. Now it''s hard to land. I didn''t expect the world to stop shaking. It''s the turn of the sky to start shaking.
As the sky shook violently again, a disgusting feeling came to his mind again. He retched for a while and spit.
When he came to illian city this time, he brought with him the most powerful of the 20 mine protection teams. These people have lives in their hands. In order to turn underground wealth into cash as soon as possible, he bought a lot of cheap labor from organizations specializing in human trafficking. These workers are harmless in human trafficking organizations. They are as gentle as castrated male horses, but they become like wild horses in his hands.
When I bought 500 people for the first time, I ran away more than 100 in only three days, and lost tens of thousands of dollars in an instant. He tried to give those workers better food, better living environment and even pay them wages. But the escape still existed until he realized that kindness could not solve the problem, and the escape finally ended.
In the valley, the bodies hanged from trees are like insect cocoons that are ready to turn into butterflies in the bushes in autumn. Hundreds of bodies are hung from trees and swaying gently with the wind. Those people have played a great role, at least to deter these workers and make them honest and docile.
From only a few hundred workers to tens of thousands now, there are more than 500 people in the mining team alone. These mining teams are like Luke''s private armed forces. When necessary, they can be used as an army to suppress the riots of those workers. This is the most powerful force in the mining area.
He built his mining area into a small kingdom of his own. He is the supreme king. At the same time, he also knows that this is only a small place after all. If you want to obtain more wealth and higher status, there is no way out of shrinking in the mining area. You must climb the brightest stage of the empire before you can go out from this small place. So he praised Corinna and planned to socialize as the investor and producer of the first colored film.
He also wanted to use money to get rid of the hat of a nouveau riche and become a real man.
But the problem was that the plan was accidentally terminated, and the main personnel of the whole crew stepped on horses. He was hospitalized because of the car accident. What made him angry was that the car accident did not happen naturally, but was deliberately made.
He didn''t feel bad when half a million people drifted away. What he felt bad about was that his plan had been destroyed before it was implemented. So this time he came here with 20 of the best mine protection team members. He came to find trouble. He wanted to ask the guy what he had against himself and had to stop himself.
But what he didn''t expect was that he was defeated by the sea ship before he was defeated by the enemy. He vowed that he would never take a boat again in his life, whether it was inland or offshore.
"Boss, where are we going now?", Luke''s number one dog leg Brandon is standing next to Luke. Brandon has a very vulgar but absolutely frightening nickname in the mining area, called "butcher". From the first worker he killed for Luke, at least thirty or fifty workers were killed by him. Even the practice of hanging people from trees was first put forward by him. In his words, only by letting people die under their noses will they know what fear is.
Luke shook his legs, and the sky rotated a little slowly. He tried to take a few steps, and finally gave up his idea of walking independently. "Of course, go to the hospital and find out what''s going on first."
Brandon made a phone call and called several cars. Although Luke didn''t invest in any projects in illian, he also knew some local rich people.
Someone once asked why the rich are always out of tune with the general public. They don''t attend parties and socialize and don''t know what they are doing all day. In fact, this is just a wrong view, because the people who raise this question themselves do not have the status and power to have an equal dialogue with the rich, and the social circle is not integrated with the top social circle, so they do not know that the rich are not incompatible with the general public, but with the poor.
The rich have their own social circle and parties held by people of the same status. It is not that they are very lonely, but that the level of the people who ask questions is too low.
Some of the rich in illian also invest in other places, and some even migrate from other places to live locally. It''s not strange for someone to know Luke in complex social networks.
With a few cars, Luke soon arrived at the hospital and saw Corinna. The poor woman was lying in bed. The doctor told her that it would take at least half a year to recover. At this time, her hatred broke out completely when she saw Luke.
"It''s that watch. It''s all that''s to blame. She did this to me!" Corinna screamed hysterically. She still wanted to wave her arm. Maybe it was related to the injury, and her face showed a painful expression.
Luke glanced at the woman a little impatiently. He rarely had a good face for women, especially for women he paid for. "Don''t talk so much nonsense, just give me a name."
Two names were squeezed out of Corinna''s teeth - freina and Dooling.
After Bran registered the two names, Luke turned and left. Corinna was stunned and shouted, "what about my movie? You come back!"
Luke stepped down, turned sideways and looked back at Lina. There was an indescribable indifference on his face. "Movie? That''s not my business. Remember, from now on, you owe me 500000. I''ll give you a year. No matter how you collect the money, even if you lose a penny a year later, you know the consequences!"
Seeing Corinna become like this, Luke directly gave up this woman. Taking this woman out will not only lose face, but lose his own people. He didn''t know that this woman was so... Neurotic and thinking about movies?
After leaving the hospital, Luke went to visit one of his old friends, Mr. Fowles. But what I didn''t expect was that Forrest might not be at home. Then I learned at the next visitor''s house that Forrest had lost his son, and he sighed about it. Next, he talked about freina and Dolin.
Freina himself knows something, so the main target is still Dooling.
"You mean Mr. 350000?" Luke''s friend was surprised. "I heard that the man is very lonely. He has seen two sides, but he has no communication. His name is not small. As soon as illian came, he bought the 350000 manor. Recently, he has made frequent moves. He has not only to join the business of the George family, but also invested heavily in the eighth district!"
Luke was disgusted when he heard his friend introduce Turin. He thought Turin was just a little person. After all, he had never heard of the name. He didn''t expect that he was so powerful when asked, which made him a little egg pain. As a rich man, Luke is well aware that the word "rich" is composed of "rich" and "powerful" together, which gives rise to the word "rich".
No rich man is easy to mess with, especially here is not his small kingdom. He has no contacts in Yilian and is not familiar with the people in the city hall. It is still a bit tricky to solve this problem.
"Is there any way to meet him?"
His friend thought for a moment and said, "there will be a food festival here on the first of next month, that is, five days later. He will certainly attend and freina will attend. I can introduce you then. Why, do you have any business dealings with him?"
He bared his teeth and smiled, "it''s a little business contact." he didn''t say a word. The guy smashed his plan, not only contact, but also conflict.
Luke temporarily lives in a friend''s villa, waiting for the arrival of the food festival. He wants to get in touch with Turin first. If the other party is easy to talk, he doesn''t mind making friends with Dooling. But if Dooling is not a good talker, he doesn''t mind setting off a big news locally.
Just when Luke began to enjoy illian''s leisurely life, Juan on the other side was frantically transferring funds to build cinemas everywhere, and also frantically launched acquisitions of some cinemas.
His friends in the imperial capital told him that the George family had recently reached a general conclusion that they could discuss cooperation with Turin and him if necessary. With such news, Juan transferred almost all the working capital to do this, even the money for investment projects in District 8. He has prepared nearly six million to operate this thing, and he plans to expand the number of more than 100 cinemas in the initial plan to 200 without telling Turin!
With 200 or more cinemas in his hands, he can definitely occupy an active position in the next cooperation negotiations and even be on an equal footing with the George family. As for what will happen to Turin, it''s not what he cares about. When Turin betrays him, they are no longer the same people.
