The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 7 The Wayne Group
For the next half a month or so, Li Ang honestly worked part-time jobs at the Red Armadillo Mexican Restaurant during the day, and soaked in reading classics in the Gotham Municipal Library after get off work, absorbing knowledge like a sponge.

In addition, Li Ang quickly got rid of the predicament of being weak and thin through some exercises of breathing and exhaling and exercising his muscles and bones, and he had a little bit of self-protection power.

It was a summer afternoon, the sun was scorching hot, and there were many fewer diners who were willing to eat spicy videos in Mexican restaurants. Li Ang also took a break from his busy schedule, sitting by the counter and watching boring programs on TV with Christina.

After getting along for more than half a month, Leon learned that Christina also had two twin sisters who were in elementary school. Their mother died of cancer a few years ago, leaving her husband Domingo to take care of the family for ten A few years old restaurant.

The news host on the TV is still chattering: ".It is reported that the wharf reconstruction project organized by the Wayne Group will add hundreds of jobs in Gotham City. These jobs will be provided by the city hall in accordance with the relief process. Recruit the unemployed who have the right conditions."

The picture on the big screen changed, and a handsome man in bright clothes was posing with a rippling smile, hugging two model-like glamorous women on the left and right, slowly stepping onto the streamlined luxury sports car, surrounded by a large group of journalists , the blinding flash almost obscured the midday sun.

"Wow, Bruce Wayne, the helm of the Wayne Group, the builder of Gotham City, the most famous playboy."

Christina sucked on a hot drink of milk tea, sat on the seat dangling her two slender legs, and said, "Hey, did you know that the Wayne Group has almost monopolized all the necessities of life in Gotham City, such as shower gel, fast food, subway, Housing. Everything you can imagine is inextricably linked to the Wayne Group. Nearly [-]% of the residents in this city depend on the Wayne Group for their livelihoods."

Li Ang spoke with a lack of interest: "It sounds a lot like giant Concern like Mitsubishi and Mitsui. Even if it's placed in America, it's a top giant that dominates one side, right?"

Christina tilted her head and thought for a while, before going back to say something.

Li Ang smiled slightly and explained: "Konzern comes from the German konzern, which means a variety of enterprise groups. The financial oligarchs at the top control the stocks and make other participants subordinate to themselves, so as to control several times or even more than their own capital. Dozens of times the capital is used to consolidate its monopoly position and achieve economic dominance. This kind of giant group formed by many enterprises in different economic sectors is called Concern.

If you are interested, I can list a bibliography on these economic terms for you. "

Annoyed, Christina nudged Li Ang lightly with her elbow, and argued, "I know this word, but I just forgot how to spell it."

On the TV screen, a group of reporters were scrambling to ask Bruce Wayne questions with long guns and short cannons.

"Mr. Wayne, may I ask what drove you to make up your mind to rebuild Gotham Port?"

Bruce Wayne smiled and said: "Well, Gotham is an inclusive and open metropolis, and the port, which is the most important channel for expelling the old and accepting the new, is the lifeblood of this city. As a citizen of Gotham, I have an obligation to serve the city The development and construction will add bricks and tiles."

A group of reporters excitedly wrote and drew on the paper, asking questions in a series of bombardments: "Mr. Wayne, I heard that you recently acquired a shipping company specializing in Southeast Asian trade, and also expanded nearly a hundred additional services for Southeast Asian immigrants. Does this mean that Wayne Group will put its strategic center on maritime trade in the next step?"

"Mr. Wayne, is your big move now related to the upcoming mayoral campaign? Which mayoral candidate do you prefer?"

The robust bodyguards in black suits fended off the group of reporters. Bruce Wayne beckoned to the crowd flamboyantly, closed the door of the sports car surrounded by models, and left in the dust.

Christina looked at the screen enviously, and whispered: "Hey, why is this world so unfair? Some people don't need to put in a lot of effort, they are born to enjoy these luxuries, while some people can only struggle in practice." Survive"

"There's no fairness in this world, aren't you a lucky one?" Li Ang glanced at Christina indifferently, and said, "You have a healthy body, a harmonious family, and a beautiful face that others can only dream of. "

As a monk, what he hates the most is this kind of sad tone of sorrow for spring and autumn. If he encounters some setbacks and keeps complaining about the adversity but refuses to make substantial efforts, he will still be a bird fairy.

Li Ang originally wanted to persuade the girl a few words, but he never thought that Christina would take his teasing words as admiration, and patted him on the shoulder boldly: "You still know how to talk."

Suddenly, Christina seemed to think of something, hesitantly tugged on the corner of Leon's clothes, and asked softly, "Then what, can I ask you something?"

Li Ang rolled his eyes, showing courtship for nothing is either adultery or robbery, "Tell me."

Christina rubbed her hands like a weasel, glanced at the curtain that was covered by the kitchen, and said to Li Ang, "You know I have two younger sisters, right?"

"I know, Isabella and Elizabeth, didn't you take them to the restaurant last time?"

Christina nodded, and said embarrassedly: "Isabella and the others went to the summer camp organized by the school today, and a good friend of mine spent a lot of effort to find two tickets to Ed Sheeran's concert, and singing The opening time of the meeting coincides with the end time of the summer camp, so can you pick Isabella and the others from school for me?"

After all, without waiting for Li Ang to refuse, Christina grabbed his arm, opened her eyes and said solemnly: "The tickets for the concert are really too expensive, if I let my dad know that I am chasing stars, I will have to chatter for a long time." .Do me a favor, just this once, I promise."

Sighing, Li Ang broke away from Christina's palm and said, "The time, location, and phone number of their teacher for the summer camp."

Christina gave Li Ang a hug with a bright smile, quickly took out a pen and paper from behind the counter and wrote down all the information, and kept saying: "When I come back, Isabella and the others will definitely beg you to give her Buy two cans of vanilla-flavored ice cream, and I'll give you the money later, and you are responsible for bribing them, so that they don't tell my dad about my going to the concert."

"Is it necessary to use the word bribe?" Li Ang took the note speechlessly, glanced at the information on it, and asked in confusion, "Gotham National Bank? Why do elementary school summer camps go to such a place?"

"I don't know, maybe it's a social science popularization activity in elementary school."
