Chapter 1912 Secret Base (Please give me a monthly ticket!!! Please subscribe!!! Please recommend!!)

Tony also came over at this time. Just now, he was the one who went to negotiate with those construction workers, mainly to find out who they were and what they were doing.

"Boss! These people were hired by the High Table to build an underground base for them! They plan to turn this place into a comprehensive facility. Damn it, these bastards have long wanted to get rid of us and work on their own!"

Tony said angrily.

This place was completely discovered by the High Table themselves, and they bypassed the Beggar King in everything. Obviously, they did not intend to let the Beggar King participate in the construction of the Continental Hotel, let alone hand over the Continental Hotel to the Beggar King for management.

When Beggar King worked under the High Table, his immediate superior was Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel. Winston was a very charming old man, who wore a three-piece suit every day and either sat in the bar or in the spacious office. He was very stylish!
Honestly, the Beggar King wanted to be that kind of person, respected by others, elegant and timeless. At the same time, even a glance from him could send chills down people's spines, and even if he never said anything unpleasant, a single word from him could make people obey him involuntarily.

It's just awesome.

So when he had no choice but to cooperate with the high table, he also wanted to gain something more for himself. That is, he hoped to become the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York.

The Continental Hotel plays an important role in the entire High Table. Unlike other branches of the High Table, they are not tightly controlled by the headquarters, nor are they just tools like the killers. They are more like local warlords.

Their respective mainland hotels are their fiefdoms, and as long as they do not violate the iron rules of the high table, they have great autonomy.

Winston was like this at the beginning. He not only controlled the entire New York underground world, but also had his own private power and great prestige among the killers. Sometimes he did things without paying any price. Because there were too many killers who owed him favors, he only needed to spread the word and someone would naturally help him get things done.

They could even compete with the headquarters of the High Table. Unless the elders spoke personally, even the Twelve Seats had to give face to the mainland hotel managers. They were all local bosses, and the Twelve Seats families would not directly deal with specific matters. The specific matters were handled by the mainland hotel managers.

And they are basically lifelong employees, and as long as they are not liquidated by the headquarters, they can continue to serve. This has led to many managers becoming local tyrants.

At the same time, managers of Continental Hotels also have promotion channels. If they do well, they will be selected by the elders to become judges or heads of other institutions. For example, the head of the gold coin minting agency of the High Table is a former manager of the Continental Hotel. (Sophia of the Continental Hotel in Morocco in the third part, her predecessor was promoted to this department, specifically responsible for the circulation and recycling of the entire High Table gold coins)

This is a very important position.

If the High Table is willing to offer this position, the Beggar King will recognize their sincerity.

But now, the Beggar King didn't know about the construction of the New Continental Hotel at all... This shows that the High Table never thought of letting him become the manager of the New York Continental Hotel.

No wonder they changed their minds so easily. It turned out that they had no intention of cooperating with the Beggar King from the beginning.

This is also true.

The High Table has its own set of rules, and not just anyone can join their system. A manager of a mainland hotel must be from the High Table system, because only such people will truly agree with their rules.

A half-baked person like the Beggar King is obviously using their High Table as a springboard and stepping stone. If they make him the manager of the Continental Hotel, it would be equivalent to the High Table lending its strength to the Beggar King, allowing him to develop his own strength. By then, the Continental Hotel in New York will really be split.

The mainland hotels are not stupid. The current system has created many provincial governors. If they really let an outsider like the Beggar King enter this system, it would be like training a warlord!
Although hotel managers in major continents have extremely high autonomy, they actually all come from the high table system. Their roots are in the high table. Even if they have their own little tricks, they dare not really violate the rules of the high table.

For example, the successor of the manager of the High Table Continental Hotel cannot be passed down from father to son. In the past, Winston's successor was his deputy Charon (the black man). Charon himself was not Winston's direct descendant, and he was not an American himself. He was transferred to New York from another Continental Hotel. This kind of personnel transfer has always happened.

An organization that has existed for a hundred years and is thriving is not as organized as an ordinary gang. It is also a transnational organization. If it were a little worse in terms of system, it would have fallen apart long ago.

Therefore, when the Beggar King proposed to take the position of manager of the Continental Hotel, their cooperation was bound to end in a falling out.

It was just that the Beggar King was not familiar with it at all... or he thought he was very familiar with the rules of the high table, so he didn't see it. Thanks to Tony's carefulness, the Beggar King didn't fall into trouble directly.

Tony was careful and saw through the boss's thoughts.

It would be troublesome if these people stayed here, and even more troublesome if they didn't stay.

After all, the Pretty Girls Special Forces are not on the same side as them at all.

"How about... occupying this place? I just took a look, the supporting facilities here are great, much better than our old nest! And the place is big, it can accommodate many people!" Tony said.

But the Beggar King shook his head.

Then I found the Pretty Girls Special Forces.

"Keith, do you want a secret base?"

Keith was stunned, a secret base.

We have it.

But Emma reacted: "You mean here?"

Emma thought about it seriously.

"But here... there's nothing, and it's too dark." Emma was a little tempted, but also a little disgusted.

Not to mention the excitement, which kid can refuse to have a super cool secret base? Even girls can't.

"This place hasn't been built yet. There are workers here. Just let them build it according to your ideas. It's not difficult." The Beggar King thought very clearly.

This place can't belong to him.

First of all, this place has been exposed. Not only the workers know about it, but even the Girl Agents know about it. This place is no longer safe. His lair is well hidden.

Secondly, he couldn't afford it. This place was too far from his base. Don't underestimate this problem. His base had been in business for a long time, and everything was built around it. He had built it as solid as a rock. He couldn't afford to disrupt his entire system for such an unfinished base. It wasn't worth it.

Finally, there are these workers. If it were handed over to him, he really didn't know what to do. These people have become the bosses.

If I leave it to the Girl Agents, I won't have to worry about it. How they deal with it is their business. What does it have to do with me?
So witty.

Tony saw the girls talking to each other, so he quickly looked for his eldest brother and asked, "Can they do it? Can they do it?"

"What are you worrying about? They are just little girls. Don't forget who their father is? If they can't handle it... Kai can't handle it either? What are you thinking!"

Tony was stunned. Yes.

He and the Beggar King might find it tricky, but for Kai, isn’t this just a small problem among small problems?

money?
Haha, it’s not that Tony looks down on his boss. Even if his boss saves money for his entire life, he can never compare with Kay in financial resources.

Power...that goes without saying.

What kind of trouble is trouble? Tony couldn't imagine it anyway. What kind of trouble is not something Kai can solve?

So he didn't worry.

The sound of their conversation also reached the girls.

"Yeah! Let dad give the money!!!" Theresa said as a matter of course: "He's rich anyway!"

As a result, he was beaten by Keith.

"What the hell are you thinking about! Kai has money, so he has money. This is our secret base. If Kai pays for it, can it still be considered our secret base?"

Theresa touched her forehead...and felt that what Keith said made sense...Although Theresa looked rebellious, she actually had no opinion of her own at all.

Emma frowned and was also thinking about it: "How much will it cost us?"

After all, you need to know how much money it will cost before you can solve it.

"It should cost a lot of money." This matter is really hard to calculate, after all, they have no experience. Keith thought for a while and said, "I still have some savings, which should be enough."

"How much?" Theresa asked curiously.

They don't care too much about this, and most people would never ask others how much money they have.

"A few million."

"Millions?!" Liz was older and knew what millions meant: "How do you have so much money?!"

"I saved it secretly." She didn't say that Kai gave her a lot secretly.

"A few million should be enough, right?" Although Theresa was from a wealthy family, she knew that a few million was a lot. After all, her pocket money was very little, and if she wanted more, she would have to do housework. This was what Raven had decided.

Kay is very generous in this regard.

He thinks that this money is not a waste no matter who spends it.

As long as the kids don't gamble or start a business, they won't lose all their money in their lifetimes. It doesn't matter if they spend a little... He doesn't care much.

But Riven was very strict about this, wanting them to establish a correct economic outlook and not act as if they were out of touch with the world.

"Not enough!" Emma was smart. Although she didn't know how much the specific project would cost, she knew that several million was definitely not enough: "Definitely not enough."

So a few people found the Beggar King and Tony.

But how could they know.

But aren't there professionals here?
So they called an engineer over.

This engineer was tall and strong, but he was timid and seemed to be scared. After all, there were not many engineers, and most of them died. Only one was intact. If we don't look for him, there will be no one else.

But many of the workers felt that this engineer looked so unfamiliar.

But they didn't think much about it, because engineers and construction workers were not in the same group. These construction workers were all laborers that Gaotai Table brought in from wealthy countries in the Middle East.

Take Saudi Arabia, for example. It is a country with a very hot climate. Without its abundant oil resources, it would not have such a large population. However, Saudi Arabia has attracted a large number of migrant workers with its strong financial resources. According to statistics, there are about 3000 million people in the country, of which about 1000 million are from India and Pakistan. One-third of Saudi Arabia's labor force comes from foreign countries. Although the government is working hard to clean up illegal foreign workers and requires foreign companies to hire more local Saudi employees, the proportion of foreign workers is still quite high.

These workers were recruited from there.

But the engineer was not, the engineer was hired by the high-level table. So the two parties were not originally in the same group.

Now suddenly seeing someone I had never seen before, although it was strange, I didn't think much about it. They were still in a state of panic, so how could they worry about others?
Soon the engineer arrived.

"Construction settlement... that's not our responsibility. We are not responsible for cost accounting. And we don't set the workers' wages. Now you suddenly ask me how much I want... I have no idea at all."

The engineer said with some embarrassment.

Several people heard it and thought it made sense.

But in fact, this is pure bullshit. Engineers refer to people who have the ability to operate, design, manage, and evaluate engineering systems. The title of engineer is usually only used for people who hold a professional degree or equivalent work experience in one of the fields of engineering.

In fact, there are specialized cost accounting engineers among engineers. Even if they are not the main engineers in charge of this aspect, they will have a general understanding of the overall cost of the entire project.

Of course, these people don’t understand this aspect at all, so there is no question of exposing it.

"How do we calculate it? Can you calculate it?"

Emma asked curiously.

She really didn't have much knowledge in this area.

She planned to go back and find out more about it later.

"I need to see the drawings and the current material quotation before I can figure it out."

"Then let's go together!" Keith, who was impatient, shouted immediately.

Emma nodded.

The engineer was stunned: "Huh?"

"Hey, don't be afraid, uncle. We are good people. Those who are looking for trouble with you are the bad guys. We won't hurt you!" Keith thought he was scared and quickly comforted him.

The engineer did seem a little scared.

At least Emma and the others couldn't see anything.

"All right……"

So the two girls followed the engineer.

The other two children were looking around. They were actually very excited and were enjoying what their secret base would be like.

Liz thought they should build a big garden and swimming pool.

Theresa wanted her own home theater and home music room.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, no one came back, and then I realized that something was wrong!
