Chapter 1,243: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 56 (Part 2)

People are often very easily agitated creatures!

People are very easy to be satisfied at certain times, but they are not satisfied most of the time.

Someone once studied that the worse the quality of life, the more likely people are to be dissatisfied, but I can tell you clearly that this is wrong!

People's dissatisfaction comes from the contrast of emotions to the environment at that time. Many times, these emotions will accumulate slowly in silence, and finally only one point is needed for these dissatisfied emotions to burst out.

All people are the same, even those "geniuses" in the mouths of the public are the same. Whether they are stupid or smart, it's just the length of the process of dissatisfaction to accumulation and release.

No one can endure it all the time. The formation of these dissatisfactions is closely related to external factors!

So what I want to remind everyone is to stay away from those who are dissatisfied for a long time. Dissatisfaction will be transmitted, which is more terrible than bacteria and viruses!

In the future, perhaps dissatisfaction will be magnified by the cruel and excessive world I mentioned before, and the dissatisfaction of one person can destroy himself, and the dissatisfaction of a group of people can destroy society!

In the future world, nothing is more valuable than a stable and relatively fair society.

Dissatisfaction breeds many things. Please remember to stay away from those who are often dissatisfied around you, and don't be infected by them. When you are dissatisfied, think more about what you still have and what is left for you to be satisfied with!

Eddie quietly closed a thick book treated with special gelatin. The author is World Destroyer, a man who existed more than 300 years ago.

Eddie admired many of this guy's remarks, and everything the World Destroyer said coincided with everything Eddie did next.

"Prometheus, how is the situation?"

In the dark room, light and shadow screens appeared one after another. Eddie quietly looked at the stock market of Angus's family. The size was still huge. In order to avoid the loss of investors, more stocks could only be temporarily issued to maintain the stock market.

After all, most investors are still very confident about the next city construction. The subway stations in some areas of the east and west that have been opened now have a very high number of people passing through every day, and people are gradually getting used to this fast and cheap means of transportation.

People are very incredible in Eddie's eyes. They were still shouting about the problems of the subway last year, but this year is different. More and more people have accepted this means of transportation.

The Angus family is now heavily in debt, which is exactly what Eddie wants to see. On the night of January 2 this year, Eddie did an experiment, and the experiment was very successful. The lunatics in the Frye Mental Hospital really rioted as expected in the experiment.

It was a very simple experiment. In just less than a month, those lunatics really rioted. Eddie ordered his death squad to stimulate those patients every day, using the most painful points that caused them to go crazy from the information collected by Prometheus. The result was successful.

Although the riot lasted less than 2 hours before it was jointly suppressed by Sections 3 and 5, the experimental results were satisfactory.

The next larger-scale riot is about to begin. Eddie has arranged more than 300 dead men to become workers before the construction recruitment. Now the dissatisfaction of the workers in Angus Construction is getting stronger and stronger.

The working environment is bad, many jobs are reversed day and night, and even many projects will fail to pass the acceptance of 10 departments, and will be overturned again and again.

The most important thing is that the wages of the workers who signed contracts with the Angus family at that time were not as high as most factories today. Nearly 300,000 workers are still carrying out the construction work connecting the east and the west.

Now the workers are already discussing and want to force the Angus family to raise wages. Even if a worker raises 10 yuan a day, it will be devastating for the Angus family.

The factory has been in operation for less than a year, and the tax revenue of Congress cannot keep up with the speed of construction. Eddie is very clear about the current situation. As long as the construction of the lower and middle levels in the east, west and south is completed, it will be the time for the Angus family to be destroyed, and Eddie can take over everything legitimately.

Eddie doesn't want to see the society continue to be stable. Stability has no benefit for him. The current situation of the Action Department is that it is too much, which just helps Eddie.

Although the current business environment is so good, many industries have been difficult to raise prices for many years, because the pricing power of commodities is in the hands of Congress. This is fatal to many merchants who occupy a favorable market and want to raise prices. They can only expand their business scale, but expanding the business scale means investing money, which is risky because the market changes rapidly.

The prices of Brilliant City have been stable since the establishment of the city to issue currency. Eddie has often heard his father and grandfather talk about this before.

Since the pricing more than a month ago, a large number of merchants who cannot be recovered because of taking a big step have appeared. These merchants still need to accept the supervision of the eight major associations, and many people have become more and more dissatisfied.

Eddie knew very well that at this time, the city would become chaotic with just a little effort. Chaos was a good thing in Eddie's eyes. Everything in chaos was uncertain, but this uncertainty was just an inevitability that many people could not see through.

"The time is ripe, Prometheus!"

As Eddie spoke, he smiled cruelly. A ball of fire rose in the room, and the face of the flame man looked a little hideous. At this time, on the light and shadow screens, stocks began to change.

"Let the fire burn more vigorously!"

Eddie said as he walked to the small wine cabinet on the side, took out a bottle of wine, opened it and poured a sip, and then held the wine glass in front of his nose to sniff it, and then took a sip.

Everything has been planned. Capital is power. Such power is stronger in a more stable era. Eddie has clearly realized this. The plan to destroy the Angus family has been implemented steadily for many years.

Now is the time for results. After this year, the Angus family will not be far from collapse.

Beep beep beep

Eddie looked at a light and shadow screen. It was a video call.

"Mr. Eddie, why did you suddenly stop the capital investment? This..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu, I've handed over the affairs of Eddie Financial Company to others a long time ago. I'm just an idle person now and rarely ask about the affairs of the family company."

The man on the screen kept wiping his head.

"No, Mr. Eddie, can you tell Mr. PLM of Eddie Financial? If you stop investing, I may not be able to make it."

Eddie smiled and nodded.

"I'll try my best. Now I don't ask too much about many things in the family. I just control the general direction of the family."

"Thank you, Mr. Eddie, I'm sorry to bother you."

Just after hanging up a call, another call came. Eddie said to the other party as always that he had not been responsible for the affairs of Eddie Financial Company for many years. It was all the young people in the family who were in charge.

Eddie kept repeating things one after another. In the past, apart from banks, the largest lender was Eddie Finance. This company, which currently still firmly occupies a large share of virtual payments in the city, has provided financing to large and small companies over the years, but Eddie has just disconnected this blood transfusion tube. Some companies that have begun to grow in size will be finished tomorrow.

The interest on loans is insignificant to Eddie. Eddie has been planning for many years. Under Prometheus's precise plan, through the dual impact of the financial market and society, the Angus family will inevitably be finished.

A new round of financial storm will begin in the city tomorrow, and Prometheus has issued an emergency announcement that it will no longer provide financial support to those companies that are still borrowing money from Eddie Finance.

Eddie is still answering calls. At 1 o'clock, Eddie hung up the phone, and Mr. PLM, the head of Eddie Finance, has also issued a formal announcement.

Because of the 10 billion asset transaction between the Hillman family and the Angus family, the Hillman family urgently needs some funds to fill the operation and maintenance of the 10 billion transaction items.

All the transactions in January were prepared to trigger this financial storm. Tomorrow, many people will gather on the Golden Street crying and shouting. The stock market will begin to plummet because of more than 300 medium-sized companies that have financial transactions with Eddie Finance every day.

The subsequent chain reaction caused by these companies will eventually make the companies that invested in Angus Construction lose all their money. If these companies want to leave, they can only ask the Angus family for part of the principal, but the Angus family cannot afford so much money.

And tomorrow, a new round of workers' strike is about to begin. Eddie sighed. This feeling of having everything in his hands made him feel very comfortable.

At this moment, accompanied by a violent vibration, Eddie's originally closed phone automatically turned on, accompanied by a beam of orange light, Eddie smiled and looked over.

"Mr. General Manager, is there anything wrong so late?"

Gary Locke looked at Eddie with a serious expression.

"Mr. Eddie, can we slow down temporarily?"

"There is no way, Mr. General Manager. After all, many of our family's enterprises have encountered deficit crises. You also know that in January, in order to support the construction of the Angus family, our family spent 10 billion to buy the Angus family's plantation and a lot of land. These things currently require a large amount of funds to maintain and operate, otherwise our family's debt will increase."

Locke looked annoyed and continued.

"Can it be temporarily slowed down for a month? Mr. Eddie, we can give you part of the bank"

"I'm sorry, Mr. General Manager, I have to consider our family. After all, this construction project has dragged our Hillman family into the water, and I can't do anything about it."

Locke sighed, nodded in understanding, and the call ended.

"Is it not possible, General Manager?"

Yin Xianglin looked at Locke, who was very angry, and he kept scratching his head. Now someone has gone to Golden Street.

"Xianglin, what do you think I should do?"

Yin Xianglin shook her head, because she didn't know what to do. With so many companies that have direct dealings with Aidi Finance, the chain reaction caused by the break in the capital chain is unimaginable. If 7 Section lends money to them, it will inevitably take action. To the people of the city, this tax must be continuously settled to the Angus family. Once this tax is used to rescue these companies, it will put the Angus family in danger.

Angus Construction’s current wages for some technical engineers have not been paid for half a year. The wages of most technical engineers are already high and they can survive this period, but those workers at the bottom whose monthly salary is less than 2,000 , there is no way to survive. As construction progresses, although the subway and other underground transportation pipelines are already in operation, it will take many more years to make ends meet.

Problems in any link will lead to a subsequent chain economic recession. The construction of the eastern and western parts was originally supposed to be completed within 8 months, but it was delayed for a year due to various problems that occurred. Zero 7 months.

In addition, some people combined with some internal personnel on the construction site, as well as people from Section 3 and other issues, caused the Angus family to suffer huge losses and resistance during the chaotic construction period of one year and seven months.

"If you don't want to print money, turn on the machine tonight and wait till tomorrow morning to print 10 billion."

Locke Jiahui laughed, and Yin Xianglin handed over a cup of hot tea with a solemn expression.

"Manager, what time has it been? Could you please stop making such jokes?"

The 7 cents of money stored by the public cannot be touched. Once it is touched, the situation will be worse, but there is no way now. The family cannot help. During the asset settlement review auction of the liability company last month , most of the family members have spent all their money on purchasing these assets that were forced to be auctioned after owing debts.

It was even more impossible for businessmen from some large companies to come up with this money. The answer actually appeared in Locke's mind from the beginning. He took out his phone and dialed Violet's number.

"Sorry, Mrs. Angus!"

"I know, Mr. Manager, it's okay. Starting from tomorrow, the construction of our Angus family will be suspended in stages."

Locke sighed. Now there is only this way. Slow down the investment in construction funds and slow down the construction speed. We can only wait for these companies to at least wipe out most of their deficits before they can speed up the construction speed again.

"I'm really sorry!"

On the other end of the phone, Violet smiled and nodded.

"It's okay, Mr. Manager. If so many companies are destroyed, it will be bad news for the entire city. We will find a solution for our family's problems."

Avano on the side is negotiating with some investors of the Angus Family Company. Many people can't wait to withdraw their capital in large quantities. Their only condition is that they can get their principal back, and any extra points will be enough. No more.

But let alone the extra money now, even if you return their principal, it is still a lot of money, because when these large businessmen entered the Angus family's stock market, they signed an agreement with the Angus family, and they could withdraw their shares at any time. of.

"I understand, it's okay. We will give you a clear answer when our family holds a detailed family meeting."

Avano's expression twisted as he hung up the phone. Violet had already communicated with Eddie. She also knew the difficulties of the Hillman family. The 10 billion had indeed given them a lot of help, and Hillman The family has indeed fallen into a deficit crisis in many industries because of this 10 billion.

Violet looked at her annoyed husband quietly. She seemed to have aged a lot recently, and her whole body had lost the vitality she had in the past. At present, the Angus family still has many properties, and they are still growing. Output has continuously supplied blood to this construction project, and some industries have also experienced delays in arrears of wages to employees.

Didi didi

At this time, Violet picked up the phone and looked at a transfer in her account, more than 1 million, which was transferred from Alpha.

Violet picked up the phone and wanted to press her daughter's number, but she resisted. She stood up, and her eyes that had been a little lost once again shone with light.

"Gather all members of the family for a meeting."

Violet said and Avano nodded.

"It's okay! Honey."

Violet pressed Avano's hands, which were already cold due to dry sweat, while Avano was trembling.

2:11 am

Alpha walked slowly on a night market street near the headquarters of Section 5. People nearby would still follow him from time to time, hoping to catch a few glances. Alpha didn't care about these things, and only had a few hundred dollars left in his pocket. .

Last year's entire salary and bonuses were all given to the family. Alpha smiled helplessly and thought of another way to help the family. However, this method was soon replaced by Alpha's sense of integrity. strangled.

Nowadays, businessmen and family members are afraid to come to her. In the past, she would receive invitations to banquets from time to time, but now there are none. It is not because these people hate Alpha, but because they are afraid of Alpha.

People from all walks of life in the city know what Alpha means. She is like a balance that is fair to everyone and will never take sides.

This year's behavior exam is coming soon. At this time, a phone call came in, the number is 0003.

"What's wrong, Osman!"

"It's like this. This year, our 3 departments will reduce part of the military expenditure. I just want to tell you in advance that the general manager has approved this money, and the teachers will invest it in the construction of Angus."

Alpha was a little surprised. Just when he was about to say something, the phone was hung up. At this time, a blushing little girl suddenly ran over, holding a beautiful gift that looked like it was made after work, and presented it with both hands.

"Sir Alpha, thank you, thank you! If it weren't for you, I might have been sold."

Alpha smiled and took this simple gift. The little girl smiled happily and shyly turned away quickly. At this time, many people on the street came over. Some people hoped to treat Alpha to a drink, and some people handed over gifts directly, but Alpha did not accept them one by one. After a while, the people around him dispersed.

Alpha often encounters such things when she travels. She knows very well that everything she does is to protect these kind citizens.

Gene had said to Alpha countless times that the public is a mirror, and Alpha knew very well what to do next.

At this time, Alpha sat directly beside a small stall. The members of Section 5 at the table opposite him stood up hurriedly and walked over to bow and salute.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Alpha smiled and motioned them to continue, but several people soon ate and started patrolling the streets.

"Lord Alpha, what do you want to eat today?"

"Give me some skewers and a bottle of wine."

The boss nodded and started to work. Alpha looked at the eyes around her who were secretly looking at her from time to time. She smiled and lit a cigarette, and the phone rang again.

"Lattis, why are you still not asleep?"

"Alpha, I think I can help you! Or help your family."

Alpha was a little confused, but Lattis said soon.

"Our department can borrow 1 billion from the Angus family."

Alpha was stunned instantly.

"Where do you get so much money?"

"Don't ask me about this. I'm just telling you. I'm going to sleep."

Alpha was more and more confused and wanted to ask more questions, but the phone had been hung up. She immediately pressed the number 0011, but found that the other party had directly blocked the network signal.

"That guy wouldn't..."

A lot of things came to Alpha's mind. Latis took over the prison affairs a long time ago, and before Alpha could continue to think about the problem, a phone call came.

"Is the president asleep?"

"Clark, is there any problem at the farm?"

Clark laughed and shook his head.

"The problem with the farm is that the women nowadays will cause us some trouble from time to time, but they are all minor matters. Our department still has some spare money. I will stop here. I think there are some things that you don't need to think too much about."

"You guys!"

Alpha hung up the phone. At this time, a take-off and landing machine from Section 10 flew over from a distance. Just when Alpha was suspicious, the take-off and landing machine hovered above him. Many people were watching. At this time, accompanied by a bright white halo, Alpha saw clearly that Noah was carrying a single-soldier multi-functional combat flight bag and slowly landed in front of him.

"At such a height, you won't jump down directly?"

Noah scratched his head.

"There is nothing I can do about it, Alpha. Long time no see."

At this time, the boss also brought some things. Many people around looked at the man wearing a black Section 10 uniform with a six-pointed star in surprise. He was the head of Section 10. He only appeared at some technical conferences and never appeared in the city on weekdays.

"Is this all you can say after so long? Noah."

Noah was embarrassed and said with a smile.

"I have asked everyone in Section 10 to stop their work. Starting tomorrow, we will go into Angus Construction to help them solve some technical problems."

Alpha was about to say something when Noah came down from above, sat next to Alpha, picked up the skewers and started eating.

"President, I think you two should go to a room and have a good talk."

Noah was knocked away by Alpha's arm that suddenly raised backwards. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, he pressed his red nose and stumbled over.

"Sorry Alpha, you and I are too busy."

Noah said, Alpha looked up.

"You have always been like this. Do you always need me to take the initiative?"

Noah looked a little embarrassed and turned away.

"Boss, give us some more wine and skewers, about 100 skewers will be enough."

"Now is not the time to drink. I will personally take people to the Golden Street."

Alpha was about to get up when he was grabbed by Noah next to him.

"Duan Kong has already led people there. We have received news that there may be workers causing trouble tomorrow morning. You have to go there."

Alpha's eyes widened.

"Why didn't R inform me?"

Noah shook his head.

"The source of the news is not from Section 2, but from those guys in the association."

Alpha nodded.

"Eat something and then go back. There is still some time."

As Noah spoke, Alpha sat down, lit a cigarette, and his expression softened a little, but soon Alpha frowned and slapped Noah on the back next to him.

"Can you pay a little more attention to your image?"

3:19 a.m.

Near a shed built in the dark underground, a lot of people gathered. At this time, a foreman kept handing out some signs with slogans and some headgear to the workers. The workers seemed a little excited.

Most people were very excited about the strike and protest tomorrow morning.

"Listen, everyone, just protest tomorrow, don't make trouble, and never conflict with the Operations Department. And everyone, remember, everyone bring liquid food, as long as it takes a long time, Angus's family will definitely give everyone a salary increase."

Many people nodded. For many people, protests are just like attending an exciting party. It depends on what they can eat at the party. They only care about wages. Even if it is only a hundred yuan increase, it is a huge benefit for many people.

This situation has become more and more serious in the construction sites between the west and the east. In some construction sites, workers listened to the speeches on the stage with excitement.

"We must fight for our legitimate rights and interests. When the Angus family signed a contract with us, our future was bound. We are just the objects of exploitation and erosion by the Angus family. We must unite. The Industrial Association has rejected our demands more than once. They know that such construction work is heavy and injuries plague each of us. If we can't fight for our rights and interests, we can only wait to die and let those indifferent capitalists take a good look!"

At this time, in the public security management offices in various parts of the south, the regional officers have mobilized all the people from the 5th section except those patrolling the streets, waiting for orders.
