Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1655 Fight!Master and Apprentice 84

Drip. Drip.
On each piece of medical equipment, there are some numerical values ​​displayed. A white-haired old man is lying on the hospital bed. The room is not too big. Except for some medical facilities, there are some simple wooden furniture, and the floor is covered with light coffee-colored rugs. Carpet with a silhouette of a car logo surrounded by patterns of parts and tools.

Locke sat quietly on a chair beside the house, and there were sounds of celebration outside the house. The entire Phoebes Manor has now been built, and many facilities can be replaced frequently because of the support of large-scale light and shadow artifact technology. Last year, the Phoebes Resort Manor opened for business, a top resort with a price of up to 2000 yuan a night.

In the manor, you can enjoy delicious food and high-quality service, and participate in various manor activities.

Tonight is extremely important to Locke. At just 11:21, Locke is still waiting for his father to wake up. His father is running out of time. At 101 years old, he is the first generation founder of Bright City.

Kedel is the name of this old man. He has been a direct force of the gods since the war-torn era. He has taken over the automobile technology from his parents since he was sensible in his teens. After that, he has been working for nearly a century city ​​services.

Locke's heart was a little heavy at this moment. The day finally came, and his father would hand over the head of the Phoebes family to Locke in front of the other seven families and several gods.

Locke is very clear that he has no ability to take this position at all, because he has no talent, and his talent is not considered smart. He has always relied on the shadow of his parents and has no actual achievements at all.

The Phoebes family still controls 30% of the city's car sales market, but many auto parts and auto repair industries are actually under the control of the Phoebes family.

The automobile industry in the city has been extremely stable over the years. The price of automobiles is the most stable thing except food, which is all regulated by Kedel's automobile industry.

Locke is still waiting for his father to wake up. If Locke is not the only one in the family now, it is impossible for him to take over the position of Phoebus's family. Locke had an older brother and older sister when he was a child. The elder sister died in a serious accident.

Brother and sister are much better than Locke. Over the years, Locke has also followed his father's orders to take care of everything in the Phoebes family. Basically everything is obeyed by his father. His father planned to start the family handover ceremony a few days ago At that time, Locke was only excited for a short while that day, and then fell into a daze.

Locke didn't know how to carry such a huge and heavy family business. Locke asked his childhood friend Zhang Yang, but he just told Locke that his name was Locke Phoebes, and he didn't say anything else.

Locke knew what Zhang Yang wanted to say, and now the uneasy mood was always lingering in Locke's heart. He didn't know when his father would wake up. Recently, although his father was in good health, he fell into a deep sleep when he fell asleep. Sleepy state, less and less time to be active.

Outside the room where Locke is located is a spacious corridor covered with paintings and exquisite wall decoration patterns.

Opposite Kodel's room is a relatively spacious living room. Su Li and Violet are sitting on a set of sofas, Wang Degui and Field are sitting next to them, and Eddie is sitting at a single small round table next to the sofa area Side, always keeping a smile, drinking wine alone.

Chen Qiao sat opposite Violet and the others, and Jiang Hao sat on the left. Six patriarchs from the seven major families came, and Violet represented the Angus family. Now her husband Avano needs to rest, to be able to heal.

No one in the room spoke much, and no one expected that they would be contacted by Congress suddenly, requiring them to come to Phoebus's house to attend the inauguration ceremony of Locke Phoebes' family patriarch.

For the families in the city, every inauguration ceremony of the eight major families is extremely grand. There are other family patriarchs, large and small, who have been invited outside, and the inauguration of the patriarchs of the eight major families needs to be witnessed by the gods in person.

Although the eight major families do not have as much control over the city as they did in the past, their economic capabilities are still at the top of the city. Some people have calculated that the apparent wealth of the eight major families, if added up, occupies the current city. 40% of the economic volume, this figure is extremely exaggerated, but some people think it may actually be more.

The city has been established for more than half a century, and the wealth accumulation of the eight major families has reached its peak during this half century. Even though there have been many problems in the past, the eight major families have come all the way and still stand firm.

Even though the families handed over a lot of things due to the gradual and in-depth implementation of the anti-monopoly law, there are still shadows of the eight major families in many related industries.

Even the Angus family, which is the most troublesome among the eight major families, still owns two almost semi-permanent profit rights of the city subway and logistics channels. This kind of huge proposal related to the city as a whole is excluded from the anti-monopoly law.

It can be said that the Eight Great Families built the Brilliant City single-handedly. Regardless of the aspect, if there were no Eight Great Families, the Bright City would not exist.

"Shall we play cards first?"

Finally, Chen Qiao couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and said, Jiang Hao approached with great interest, Chen Qiao took out a deck of cards, and invited Wang Degui and Field to join, but the two shook their heads, and finally Chen Qiao could only turn her gaze to Eddie, who smiled and waved his hand.

"Interested, two ladies!"

Chen Qiao asked, but was directly rejected by Su Li and Violet's eyes.

Eddie quietly looked at the two of them, they were all the same breed, and they had no ability. If Chen Qiao hadn't relied on Wu Qun, let alone be in charge, he would probably be begging on the street by now, and Jiang Hao was the same Yes, if he didn't rely on his extremely shrewd wife Hong Hong, his family business would have been ruined by him long ago.

Among the patriarchs of the eight major families, Chen Qiao and Jiang Hao are the most incompetent. The others are more capable, especially Su Li. A series of actions over the years made Eddie feel amazed.

At the moment when Violet's eyes met, Eddie saw the anger in her eyes, and the Angus family had completely broken with the Hillman family.

Everyone present knew that if the Angus family continued, its economic strength would not even be as strong as the steadily rising Eberron family.

What annoys Eddie the most is that the people present are not like those years, they will extend their hands from their own pots to other people's pots, and they are very friendly and doing their own business in their respective fields. To cross borders hastily, all of this was planned by Eddie's eight classmates behind the scenes.

Originally, they wanted to use the hands of these guys to continue to suppress the Angus family's economy, but now it seems impossible.

"Do you think Locke is capable of taking care of the Phoebus family!"

At this moment, Eddie said, everyone's expressions had given a clear answer in an instant, and Chen Qiao sighed.

"To be honest, Locke has no ability. Of course, this does not mean that I am capable, but that is the truth."

Wang Degui laughed.

"What are you capable of?"

"Each each other!"

Chen Qiao sneered and said, everyone knows that Wang Degui made a lot of money by gambling like his niece Wang Ying, and made the Wang family's property under his control instantly surpass that of his brothers and sisters who were still fighting among themselves. In the end, the position of head of the Wang family fell into Wang Degui's hands. Although he himself was a little capable, he was far behind his niece Wang Ying.

Field laughed.

"Chen Qiao, don't you think that since you are the patriarch of the Chen family, you can sit on an equal footing with us!"

Chen Qiao stared at Field coldly. This guy has always ridiculed himself at banquets and made fun of himself. At that time, he was really helpless, just a complete prodigal and a good-for-nothing, but now it is different .

"Don't think I don't know, Field, I know how many ideas Lin Xiao gave you and how many relationships he helped you clear up."

For a moment, Field's face turned pale, and Jiang Hao next to him yawned and said.

"What is there to argue about? Hurry up and end it. I have to go to the awards ceremony in the film and television area later."

For a while, the living room regained its calm, and Chen Qiao couldn't sit still. He still couldn't vent his anger after being choked by Field just now. He turned over the playing cards, and the playing cards made a loud noise.

"Would you like to come and play together?"

At this time, Eddie came over while talking, and he sat next to Jiang Hao, but the others were obviously not interested, and wanted to quickly finish the patriarchal succession ceremony, and then go back to do their own business.

Although Eddie is also full of chores, he enjoys this state even more now, because Ran Zhi has already gone to the barrier area, and now he can feel at ease. As for whether there are traitors in the family, Eddie does not plan to think about it in a short time .

"That's good. I think we can discuss an issue. I believe this is also an issue of great concern to everyone."

Everyone looked at Eddie, wanting to hear what he wanted to say, Eddie glanced at the crowd with his palms folded.

"How do you feel about the company's qualification review?"

For a moment, everyone sensed what Eddie wanted to say, and Jiang Hao spoke first.

"The group of guys in the administrative department, this is not the case, that is not the case. Originally, I wanted to invite the chief of the 9th department to have a meal, but I couldn't do it once."

Although the others did not speak, the contact with the administrative department in the past few years has caused a lot of qualification review problems in their companies, because the review speed is very slow, which leads to some problems in many links, and the involved It is a family owned business.

Everyone has tried everything possible, especially in the expansion of some related industries, the progress is very slow, often need to accept the joint review of several departments, and the detailed rules of the review are also extremely strict, which seriously hinders many family businesses development over the years.

Everyone knows the reason. The administrative department wants to cut off the immunity of the family. The purpose is very obvious. Compared with the family, the review speed of the merchants is often faster, and even the senior management of the administrative department often accepts invitations from merchants. Special personnel will also be dispatched to assist merchants in completing various reviews of commercial qualifications.

The intention of the administrative department against the family is very obvious, even the Angus family is the same. Even the eldest daughter Alpha, as the head of the 5th department, is merciless in reviewing.

The behavior of the administrative department has made the whole family a little angry, but nothing can be changed. The behavior of the administrative department has made many families furious.

There are already some people from small families who can't take it anymore, and they will gather at every gathering, hoping that the eight major families will come forward to solve some problems.

"These are real problems. I think we need to take advantage of this opportunity to have a private conversation with the gods when they come."

Chen Qiao nodded with a smile, and Jiang Hao beside him also spoke.

"It's true that we haven't had a meeting for many years, and we are all busy with our own business. Although some of us are just representatives of the patriarch, and there are also conflicts between families, I think our family must be a whole. I can't bear it if the people in the administrative department continue to do it like this."

At this time, many people looked at Violet, then at Eddie, and Violet stared at Jiang Hao angrily.

"Your mouth is still the same as before, it stinks."

Jiang Hao smiled awkwardly, Jiang Hao usually has this kind of virtue, always talking about what is there and what is not, and everyone present is well aware of his past and Violet. That incident caused Violet's family to completely break with the Jiang family. Up to now, the two families have basically met and never talked.

As for the problems of the Angus family and the Hillman family, everyone is well aware that the two families have become enemies. Although Eddie always looks humble, he is too sinister in his bones. The Hillman family Taking advantage of the Angus construction, they have already made a lot of money from this construction, and it is the Angus family that ultimately bears the damage.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense, and Su Li, who was silent for a while, spoke.

"It doesn't matter what you think. Don't pull me, it has nothing to do with me. As for the right of immunity, whether it has or not has no effect on our Su family."

Field looked at Su Li.

"Hmph! Su Li, it doesn't matter, do you care about the lives of other members of your Su family? If there is no immunity, those of your Su family"

"What does it have to do with me? It's what they did. It's fine if they don't repent once or twice. It's fine to just sweep the floor out the third time. Our Su family doesn't need black apples, but you, Field, your sister Wilsey at the time If you are willing to intervene in the situation, as for this!"

"Enough Sully!"

In an instant, Chen Qiao roared angrily. He almost lost control of his emotions for a moment. The anger distorted his expression and his body trembled. He stood up directly and pointed at Su Li.

"As for Wilsey, you'd better not mention Su Li again!"

Su Li giggled.

"When you're alive, don't think of a way. If I were a man, I wouldn't want everything. No matter what method I use, I would take her away. It's a pity that you are just a coward, Chen Qiao. What are you doing yelling at me now? "

For a while, Chen Qiao was at a loss for words, and Field, who was opposite, also had a slight sadness on his face, and his complexion was very bad.

"Which pot is not open and which pot is being lifted? Why are you talking about this kind of thing? Okay, everyone, calm down."

Jiang Hao stood up, trying to ease the atmosphere, but at this moment Wang Degui laughed.

"Everyone, don't stand up and talk without back pain. Everyone has their own position. I think it's better not to mention some things."

Violet never spoke, she didn't want to get involved in any family affairs, let alone talk to Eddie.

"What I'm talking about is the truth, what kind of bullshit position!"

Su Li spoke again, as if she was not afraid of adding fuel to the flames. For a while, Chen Qiao was already trembling with anger, and Field's expression became even uglier.

"My younger sister has already married, and she voluntarily, and our Huo Sen family also gave her enough dowry, besides..."

"Can you two big men shut up? These things are not reasons and excuses for your weakness. Chen Qiao, stop pestering your nephew. Recently, I occasionally heard that you often go to the middle class."

Chen Qiao looked at Su Li with a solemn expression.

"He should have his own life. You are still uncles and nephews, family members, but his name is now Jewel, not Chen anymore."

Chen Qiao sat down calmly. What he felt in his heart at this moment was not anger, but loss. This feeling of loss would strike every day in the dead of night.

Field tilted his head. He knew very well that he was thinking about his sister all the time in his heart, but there was a certain place that he still couldn't admit. It was his fault, and it was his big brother who watched with cold eyes that finally led to this series of tragedies. And because of Wilsey, the final family's immunity began to waver.

"Let me just say it straight!"

Violet stood up at this moment, and everyone looked at her.

"No matter what method you think of, my daughter will try her best to cut off the family's immunity one day, and she will not compromise."

Wang Degui's heart trembled, Jiang Hao looked a little helpless, and Field next to him nodded.

"Indeed, with your daughter's cold-blooded character, Violet, we have no way to solve it, because if there is even the slightest problem, we will be caught by Section 5."

The Huo Sen family has had a really difficult time in the industry these years, because some industrial products had problems, and they were targeted by the 5th Division. In addition, some young people in the Huo Sen family behaved badly, and they were completely arrested by the 5th Division. It is difficult to move forward in many industries.

"What are the little devils talking about! They seem to be very happy."

Accompanied by a high-pitched female voice with a smile in it, Tang Rao stepped in, wearing a long dark green dress and carrying a small bag in her hand, and several other figures also came in one after another. All the family patriarchs present They hurriedly got up and bowed solemnly.

"Is Kidell still awake?"

Li Chu asked a question, and Eddie replied.

"We have been here for two hours, Mr. Li Chu."

After the gods walked in, Werther signaled the patriarchs to sit down, and the six gods also found a place to sit down. Jiang Hao hurriedly got up and came over with wine and glasses, and poured a glass of wine for the six gods one by one.

"Jiang Hao, your father Jiang Tianci used to say that you would ruin your family fortune, but fortunately you married a capable daughter-in-law. If you really have a soul, your father should laugh!"

Deguna made a joke, Jiang Hao scratched the back of his head with a smile, and Eddie asked.

"Master Jin didn't come?"

Gu Yi was wearing a white coat with a metallic smell on his body. He leaned against the door and shook his head.

"He probably won't come, he doesn't like this kind of occasion very much."

At this time, the patriarchs of several families exchanged eyes and moved to Eddie, hoping that Eddie would speak. After Eddie understood it, he held it up and was held up. He put his hand on his chest and bowed and said.

"Master Six Gods, I have a question, I hope I can say it."

Rose lit a cigarette, smiled and nodded.

"Is the management of our family by the administrative department too strict now?"

"You can discuss this issue with the councilors yourself. After all, your family's businesses are located in some districts. Go discuss it with the district councilors. Don't talk about these things tonight, kid."

Li Chu said immediately, and Eddie didn't say anything more.

"Is Avanuo kid in better condition?"

Tang Rao asked, and Violet nodded.

For a while, the room fell into silence again. The patriarchs all knew that although the gods did not directly state that they would cancel the immunity, the administrative department was established by the elites trained by the gods. It will not be solved directly, but through the people who have been cultivated. After all, it was the seven gods who signed this immunity with the big and small families back then.

"Time flies so fast. Now the fourth generation of Bright City has been born, and it will grow up in more than ten years."

Tang Rao muttered something, and Jiang Hao leaned over, took out the lighter, and lit Tang Rao's cigarette.

Everyone knows the problems of the Phoebes family tonight. It is clear that the Phoebes family used to be a force directly under the gods, and the head of the family, Kedel, almost lost money for the gods because of a fierce power conflict in the past. Logically speaking, the gods should support the Phoebes family, but the gods did not do so. The situation of the Phoebes family is not good now.

Li Chu looked at the door of Kedel's bedroom from time to time, but it never opened. The Phoebes family is not so much a direct subordinate force of the gods, as it is a direct subordinate power of Li Chu.

11:51

Kodell on the hospital bed opened his eyes, and Locke leaned over excitedly.

"Father!"

Cordell nodded.

"what time is it?"

Locke helped his father up and gave him a sip of water.

"It's almost January 1nd."

Cordell nodded.

"Do you know why I let you inherit Locke?"

Locke shook his head. His heart was a little heavy. It is true that Phoebus's branch family had more shrewd and suitable people than himself, but his father did not choose those outstanding people at the general meeting of the family, but chose himself, and Immediately, the succession ceremony of the family patriarch took place.

Kodell looked at his restless son, took his hand and patted the back of his hand gently.

"Because you have a little quality that no one else has, you are more kind than others, Locke."

Locke looked at his father with some surprise, and he nodded with a smile.

"Remember Locke, if the city needs our help one day, don't be stingy, I believe you should not."

Locke hummed. Over the years, the Phoebes family has been secretly supporting the construction of the Angus family. Although all this was done under the authorization of Kodell, his son Locke never asked, nor Not to care about these gains and losses, this is the best quality of a human being that Kodell values.

"Help me out!"

Locke hugged his light-hearted father and put him on the wheelchair, looking at his father's amputated legs. Now his thighs are only as thick as his own arms.

"I'm afraid that one day."

"If there is such a day, it will be nothing more than returning the wealth that allowed our family to survive well. There is nothing to be sad about. Borrow three and pay back seven, remember? The story I told you."

Locke hummed, his father had told Locke more than once about his encounter with the gods.

It was a long time ago, when this land was still in war. As the leader of a new force, Kedel was rich in resources and had a lot of troops and weapons in his hands.

One day a [-]% man visited this city, hoping to exchange some food with them with the technology in his hand. He subdued all the people, and Kodell was surprised that the man who could have killed them and robbed them of food did not do so.

At that time, the man said that if he borrowed some food, he would repay it twice at that time. Obviously, force could be used, but the man wrote an IOU. Finally, Kodel agreed and lent a large amount of food to the seven people. After they left, everyone They couldn't swallow this breath, but weapons had no effect on them.

In the end, some key members of the power tracked the past, and found a small town in the mountains, most of which were children, and these seven people were educating these children, even if they couldn't beat them, they could take the children in their hands They let off steam.

After all the preparations were over, Kodell finally gave up on this attack. After a long time, when Kodell was about to forget about it, a serious epidemic broke out in the territory under his control with more than 30 people , It was horrible for a while.

However, at this time, that half-to-seven guy brought six other people over. They used the medical technology in their hands to successfully solve the epidemic. Originally, the death toll of such an epidemic might exceed tens of thousands, but In the end only a few hundred people died.

After that, the seven of them stayed in Kedel's city for a period of time, teaching their people a lot of knowledge before leaving.

Looking at his father's expression of enjoyment, he seemed to be immersed in those good memories of the past.

"Remember Locke, the most precious thing between people is sincerity, and the most noble quality of people is kindness, and the most indispensable thing for people is courage!"
