Gene of Brilliant City 13 Division

Chapter 1920 Torrent

"No problem, everyone!"

In a spacious hall, Chen Qiao held the wine glass in his hand. It was almost dusk. Many family members and businessmen from the upper echelons of the city gathered together. Nearly 200 people were sitting in the hall.

The atmosphere in the entire hall was a bit dull, and many middle and lower class businessmen had already started to shrink back. The boycott had only started for a short half a day, and some people already wanted to retreat.

Wang Degui looked annoyed at the businessmen who were whispering around. Because of the problems in the upper Qinglong Street, many companies in their construction association had already experienced a financial crisis, and the same was true for several companies under his own.

"Those guys if it wasn't for them."

Field was a little drunk, he clenched his fist, and slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table with a slam. Jiang Hao smiled wryly and shook his head.

No one knows whether the crisis mitigation strategy launched by the Administrative Department tomorrow will effectively solve the living problems of the citizens, but everyone present will lose hundreds of millions of dollars for one more day.

This kind of resistance seems to be quite effective at present. Even if the administrative department promulgates countermeasures, it still cannot alleviate the employment gap. Therefore, wages must still be paid as usual, and cannot be lower than 70% of normal wages.

"I said everyone, I think such a boycott is meaningless, or..."

A businessman stopped before he got up, and there were a lot of angry eyes around him. He was almost unable to bear it anymore. After a little calculation, if the company does not operate, he will lose more than 30 yuan a day. In a few days, millions of dollars have to be lost.

Profit is the heart and soul of merchants. Many merchants at the scene seemed a little anxious at this moment. Almost all the major merchants from the seven major associations gathered here. This is Wang Degui's home, and they will gather here in the next few days.

Seeing that some people were beginning to waver, McCullin couldn't sit still.

"What? Aren't everyone in high spirits at the beginning?"

Following McCullin's voice, the discussion stopped for a while, and some businessmen looked at her bitterly, and McCullin laughed.

"Didn't everyone agree at the beginning that we must stand together this time, or are some people planning to back down on the first day? If we keep silent this time, the future will only become more and more difficult. We must win Just grit your teeth and hold on, everyone! Have you all forgotten that you used to have many medical companies, and the result? How is the situation? Or do you have the scars healed and forget the pain?"

McCullin's words changed the expressions of many businessmen and family members. Indeed, what McCullin said was true. When the medical industry was taken over in the past, the Administrative Department almost used exactly the same method.

At that time, all members of the medical association staged the same strike resistance, and the administrative department adopted the same strategy as this time. In just over ten days, the entire medical industry was devastated. It was originally thought that the administrative department would give up closing the medical industry. After returning to the Congress, many businessmen were subdued by the tough attitude of the Administrative Office.

In the end, the businessmen had to sell the medical industry after negotiating with Congress for a period of time. In the end, the four departments directly and successfully took over the medical industry, only allowing the existence of individual doctors.

The medical industry, which was originally the most profitable among the eight major industries in the city, has never been able to set foot in any businessmen since then, but this time is different. The large-scale investigation by the Administrative Department has affected the seven major industries, and the stock market has been closed.

Although the administrative department has no intention of banning these industries, if the investigation continues like this, the market that is finally obtained will be turned upside down.

"Okay, think about it clearly, if you can't tighten your belt this time, the fat you got will disappear."

McCullin reminded again that this comprehensive boycott must go on, no matter how hard it is, it must survive. If it is impossible to unify at this time, once the major associations fall apart, they will return to the past era of fierce competition .

Especially for those businessmen who want to climb up, if they can’t get the corresponding resource supply from the seven major associations, it’s just nonsense to want to go up. As long as everyone doesn’t move now, the market is still theirs, and once someone can’t sit Stop, if you start to operate, there will be gaps in the market, and those businessmen who want to come up will immediately squeeze in.

Now the merchants here together control 85% of the market in the corresponding industry. The actions of the Su family, the Angus family, the Phoebes family, and the Ai Bolun family this time are as expected by everyone. There is not much conflict.

The Su family controls 90% of the city's clothing market, because they have a cross-shareholding structure with large and small companies. As long as the Su family makes an order, the entire clothing industry will obey, so this time only the clothing industry is not affected. , but due to the influence of the other seven major industries, the mutual supply chain is broken, and the apparel industry will close down.

Since the automobile industry was completely abolished, the Phoebes family has been in a slump. Only the Phoebes Resort Hotel Manor and some irrelevant industries are still lingering.

Needless to say, the Angus family controls the city's transportation and logistics. Although these are special industries under the supervision of the Congress, their family is still the richest family in the city, and both daughters are acting The people in Co., they have been on the side of Congress since a long time ago, and they have never stood with businessmen or families.

As for the newly promoted eighth largest family, the Ebolen family, the current situation is the same. The daughter Michelle has entered the administrative department and stood in the high-level team. There are many businessmen who have a good relationship with the Ebolen family. I also talked to Charles, but it was basically hopeless. The situation of their family's business would be the same as that of Su's. The supply chain was broken, so they could only temporarily close down.

As long as the merchants present today continue to fight, if the supply chain cannot be restored, the city's market can only be in a state of suspension. It is impossible to rely on those mini factories or some small and medium-sized factories scattered at the bottom to satisfy the huge supply chain. of.

So as long as you continue to endure, the market will be in their hands sooner or later, and once you can't endure it, the market will be eaten away by the remaining 15%. A loss of 1% is for the businessmen present. , will far exceed the losses of this strike.

"The loss is only temporary, everyone. If we rashly open the market at this time, we will collapse as the investigation by the administrative department deepens. Now we only need to pay part of the fine and bear part of the labor cost. Once the market has been divided If we are disturbed, I think everyone should understand what will happen to us, right!"

Chen Qiao's words made many people feel more relaxed. At this time, some economic calculators began to explain. According to the current situation, a chart has been made, and they only need to bring some values ​​of the company's situation to the table. Once you enter, you will probably know how much you will lose every day if you don't start work.

All the merchants were counting, and after a while, many merchants showed smiles on their faces.

"It's only a loss of more than 50 yuan in one day. I can bear it if nothing happens. It's only 1500 million yuan a month."

A businessman raised his wine glass with a smile. Wang Degui heaved a sigh of relief. The situation on Qinglong Street is only temporary. Although their real estate project is now in debt of at least 20 billion yuan, the house is still in their hands, and they just need to wait for the right time. Just sell when it is mature, and the houses on the upper floors will have the least shortage of buyers.

Many low-level businessmen should have made a lot of money this time. After all, taking advantage of this opportunity, they will start working day and night, and then escape from the bottom. At that time, they will be able to take over these houses, and the real estate industry will naturally You can turn losses into profits.

Jiang Hao smiled and had a drink with Chen Qiao who was next to him. For him, the film and television area is the same, except that a group of people have been replaced. The future is still the same, because the city needs entertainment and film and television. If there is no demand for a long time, the suffocated people will contribute a huge amount of demand.

At the beginning, the reason for the strike was to get the Administrative Section to stop the investigation, but after discovering that the Administrative Section did not intend to stop the investigation, the merchants also understood that they must not open the market rashly, but only after the Administrative Section’s investigation is over. , and then open the market.

It's like a water storage tank. The water is constantly being filled. When a certain amount is reached, the gate valve is opened, and the water will gather and come out violently.

"Everyone, please rest assured that in the future, just enjoy it in my house. The future belongs to us."

Following Wang Degui's words, all the businessmen raised their wine glasses high, and the dull banquet became joyful again.

7:09pm

Su Li wiped the corners of her mouth, she had just eaten.

"It tastes good."

Violet on the opposite side is a little drunk. Tomorrow will be the busiest time for the two families, and Avano has already taken other members of the family to the bottom floor.

"You didn't invite me over for a simple meal, Su Li!"

Su Li stood up and poured a glass of wine for Violet, then walked behind her, pressed her shoulder, and gently pinched her.

"Relax, I invite you tonight just to chat to relieve boredom, and to talk about some things in the future, you stay here tonight, let's have a good drink."

Violet smiled helplessly.

"Actually, I used to hate your Su Li."

Sully nodded.

"Indeed, although I am the patriarch of the Su family, I am also a businessman. The wealth that belongs to your family now is what you deserve. Your entire Angus family has paid too much for this city since its founding. , while the two daughters paid blood, sweat and tears for the city."

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Violet's expression became more serious, and Su Li apologized.

"Alfa won't stay in prison for the rest of her life, she still has a lot of unfinished business, doesn't she!"

Violet's face was full of complex and sad expressions, and she pressed her forehead with one hand.

"I've checked with Mr. Jean, but haven't I found that Mr. Jean has changed?"

Violet nodded.

"It has indeed changed a lot, and I no longer interfere in the decisions of some administrative departments."

"I'm not referring to these, but a change in mentality. Mr. Jean in the past is still the same as now, but his approach has begun to change. I can't say it clearly, but I can feel it. Well, let's not By the way, how long do you think those guys can last?"

Violet said with a smile.

"Until Niya's investigation is over, they won't open the market."

"My opinion is the same, so I have only one purpose for coming to you today, and we will work together to control everything!"

Violet looked at Su Li in shock, her expression was serious, she didn't look like she was joking.

"Are you serious Sully?"

Violet stood up, Su Li nodded.

"Of course it's serious. I'm not joking with you. The reason why they gather together and don't open the market now is just to firmly control the market. Have you ever thought about the day in the future? The countless times that happened in the past caused the city to almost Will the big problem of crashing still happen?"

Violet didn't answer, Su Li continued.

"Now is a very good time. As long as we join hands, the capital can cover all walks of life in the city in an instant, and at least 50% of the city's market can be obtained, that's all!"

Violet laughed.

"Do you know why I hate you, Su Li?"

Sully nodded.

"Instead of leaving these things in the hands of those bloodthirsty merchants, why don't we take them ourselves, we won't become like them, and"

"It's not impossible, but it's definitely Su Li. Maybe you have the confidence to control everything well, but too large a capital comes with higher risks. If we really do this, there will be a bloody storm Yes, in future battles, we don't need to bear anything, because we have enough capital to fight them, but have you ever thought about the more than 2000 million people in Bright City, Su Li!"

Su Li sighed helplessly, and pulled Violet to sit on the sofa beside her.

"Just pretend I didn't say it, this is just my whimsy, but one day in the future, they will definitely reach out to the bottom, and I hope you can stop it with me, otherwise, the city will be completely destroyed. occupied by them."

Olivia nodded, and Su Li laughed.

"By the way, Su Li, you bought a lot of liquid food production technology and machinery before. What exactly are you going to do?"

Su Li said with a smile.

"In case there is a food crisis someday in the future, I can earn a little bit."

Violet was a little helpless, but showed a relaxed smile.

"You are really different from when you were young, Su Li, with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart."

Su Li took a sip of wine comfortably and nodded.

"It is true that I will stand up and support Niya, you are a little surprised."

Violet hummed, she was indeed surprised, because Su Li gave Niya comprehensive support, not only the superficial financial support, but also in the name of aiding the 5th department, she would do free work for the 50th department in the future Provided replacement of [-] uniforms.

"I actually regret it, about Alpha."

Violet shook her head.

"That child has grown up, and she must bear the consequences for everything she does. No matter what she is doing for it, as long as she has no complaints or regrets!"

8 o'clock in the evening
Gene was smoking a cigarette quietly, looking at the prisoners all around, happily eating hot glutinous rice balls, a few prisoners came over and chatted with Gene with a smile, and asked Gene for a few a cigarette.

"I wish you could come every day, Gene."

Gene replied easily.

"Then isn't it the same as a festival here! You bastards."

Genn said, squinting at Alpha sitting on a huge rock, eating, while Quasimodo stood aside.

"By the way, has Alpha beaten you up recently?"

Gene muttered something, and the expressions of several prisoners suddenly changed.

"It's okay recently, Mr. Jean, you should send Alpha to another place. We are really afraid of her. She is always moody."

Gene waved his hand, got up and walked slowly, walked up the stairs without looking back, Latis sighed.

"How about going to talk to her?"

Gene just smiled and walked over, waving back.

At this moment, Alpha, who was sitting on the rock, looked over, the corners of her mouth slightly grinning, and her smile looked a little hideous. The empty bowl in her hand was instantly shattered and turned into powder with a touch of black breath.

Quasimodo raised his head slightly, and felt an unusually strong force. He stretched out his thick hand, pressed it on Alpha's knee, patted it lightly, and shook his head.

Alpha jumped off the rock.

"One day I will go out and what will it be like outside!"

The two of them entered the dark tunnel one after the other. Only then did the prisoners in the excavation site start talking and laughing with relief.

Latis lit a cigarette, the world outside was changing with each passing day, and everything here remained unchanged, she smiled helplessly, looking at her dangling arms.

"One day you'll go out, Alpha!"
