"Mr. Jean, our family is not eligible to apply for congressional assistance!"
Locke lowered his head, and the juice Ran Zai had just drank into his mouth sprayed out. Gene scratched his head with a slightly solemn expression.
"How will it end now? The MPs haven't made a formal statement yet. I feel that they are holding back. It won't be fun next time. This bitter pill and shameful action will be reduced to an after-dinner show in the future.
It’s time to talk!”
Locke sat awkwardly at the table, lowering his head at a loss and sighing constantly.
The original plan was to expose the problems of the Phoebes Resort Hotel first, and then explain the reasons behind these problems in depth, and finally allow the Phoebus family to successfully obtain assistance from Congress, which is justifiable.
But now, everything Locke just said made Jean feel that his future is bleak.
"It's like stepping on a landmine, Mr. Jean, old man, wouldn't you ventilate yourself earlier? This is going to be embarrassing."
Ran Zai said and sighed helplessly. These chaos at Phoebus's house are all minor problems, but the big problem is that they have cooperated with many stores in the area all year round, forcing consumers to often only do it in the hotel.
Expensive consumption and the use of equipment purchased on the black market.
These two points alone are enough to send the whole Phoebes family to prison for many years. The congressmen should have already grasped the evidence that these two aspects have finalized the situation, so they have not spoken out yet.
They are even suspected of fraud. They lease the trees they rent at home to some companies that carry solid wood in the area, but they add some chemical ingredients that will kill the trees in the nutrient solution all year round. Once the trees die, they can obtain
100 times the compensation, because these trees are all insured. Although the insurance investigators are investigating the cause of death of the trees, they cannot find out because there are basically no such things as botanists in the city. Even if they do an autopsy
When conducting chemical analysis on trees, it is impossible to find the cause because the harmful substances inhaled slowly and long-term have undergone various chemical changes in the trees.
Most of the nearby shops only sell some simple and unpalatable food, but the Phoebus family subsidizes the owners of these shops every month. In the name of food trading, many guests come here for vacation and travel.
I am in a pleasant mood, but the food in the hotel is too expensive, so I can only eat outside the hotel. Although it is cheaper outside the hotel, it tastes terrible. Even a normal person can't stand it. He will eat more or less. This is a way to secretly rip off customers.
, making Ran Zai feel speechless.
Many shop owners near the hotel also have a bad attitude. They like to eat but not eat because the monthly subsidy money makes their lives very comfortable, and some paid items that need to be used in the hotel are not sold outside the hotel.
The attitude of the staff in the hotel is very good, so basically the guests just feel that their wallets are a little weak and will not say anything after the vacation.
Most of the women who work in the special service industry here were recruited by people sent by the Phoebes family. Some of them were not models at all, but they were made into models, bought some news panels, and carried out false propaganda.
, to create the look of a model, the price is too high, some women who originally came from District 29, after such a package, their original 100 yuan a night has become several thousand a night.
Moreover, there are special training courses for these women in the hotel. Generally speaking, it is how to make the guests' wallets bleed.
"Once these things are exposed, let alone helping the Phoebes family participate in the construction of the bill, their entire family is afraid that they will go to heaven in an instant, hahaha!"
Locke lowered his head, his old face couldn't hold it anymore, and started to blush slightly. Another important reason why the family has suffered losses in recent years is taxation. For entertainment resort hotels like theirs, because of the high consumption
, naturally need to pay high taxes, and part of their taxes will be returned to people in other districts who come here to consume.
To maintain the manufacturing and production technology of automobiles, a high maintenance fee needs to be paid every year, as well as maintenance fees for a lot of stacked materials. Some aging materials can only be reworked.
Jean looked dumbfounded at the chaos happening outside the window, but at the door, some lawyers could already be seen coming in. They were people sent by the Lawyers Association.
"It's better to just give up making cars. It's not good to act on impulse. The whole family will be buried with you."
Ran Zai muttered, and Locke immediately retorted with an angry look on his face.
"Our family has been making cars for generations, starting from my ancestors' generation. Before the world suffered a catastrophe, our family was already developing future cars, including sea, land and air amphibious vehicles. We all have drawings. Now we are completely
Having the technology to make such a car is our family's tradition. I have been educated in this tradition since I was a child. It is the same from my father and grandfather. Our family has always maintained this pride. You won't understand, boy.
!”
"Even if you have done so many deceitful things, you will not hesitate to drag your family into the abyss!"
Locke didn't look away.
"Even so, we will not hesitate. No matter what we do, as long as it is for the continuation of the family, I have done everything I can. To tell you the truth, kid, part of the land here is illegal!"
Ran Zai stood up in shock, and Gene felt a little creeped out. He tilted his head and looked at Locke.
"I remember you were not like this when you were a child. Are you possessed by something?"
"Ah, by the car!"
Gene pressed his forehead with one hand. He raised one hand, feeling a little weak. Ran Zai continued to ask.
"Why is the old man's land illegal?"
Locke sighed.
"Actually, in order to raise money, our family ceded half of the land to the Angus family. However, because of the previous friendship, the Angus family did not take back the land and let us continue to use it and did not charge rent. But if
After checking some information that has not been entered into the computer before, we can know that the land to the east from the gate of our house belongs to the Angus family. It has the signatures and fingerprints of my husband and I, as well as a contract.
It was just temporarily sealed before.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ran Zai fully realized that the Phoebes family were penniless paupers. How could such a family participate in two huge bills? If this land ownership document
If exposed, the Phoebus family will become beggars in an instant. Once the practice of paying debts begins, it cannot be stopped until it reaches the end called death.
Ran Zai has seen a lot of this kind of thing, many people who are in debt. In the end, not only are the debts not repaid, but the debts are increasing. In the end, some hang themselves, jump off buildings, and even break the law to retaliate against society.
"I've done a rough calculation for you. Now that all your family's assets are sold, even if you sell the raw materials for car manufacturing, you still owe 3 billion. Mr. Jean, this is a big pit. Such a move of yours is useless.
It's different from pushing the entire administrative department into a pit of fire. If those section chiefs knew about it, I'm afraid they would kill them now."
Gene burst into laughter, kept laughing, lit a cigarette, sat down and looked at Locke who was smiling awkwardly.
"No way, people just have to be thick-skinned. Mr. Jean, didn't you say that before? Some people in this world, no matter how difficult and difficult they are, can overcome any difficulty as long as they have a thick skin."
"Just jump down from here first!"
Gene pointed a smoky cigarette at Locke, and Locke laughed.
"I am just a low-ranking businessman who lost everything due to the trap set by your grandfather. Now I am deeply in debt and have used many deceptive and deceptive methods to maintain my current castle in the air. I am an idiot and a bad person!
"
Locke said, put away the smile on his face, looked at Jean with a serious look, and walked over slowly.
"Mr. Jean, I will not compromise. Our entire family is the same. Either die for this pride or survive for this pride. There are only two options. What I have seen is that only the family has ever
Many people say that the glory of the past does not mean anything, but without the glory of the past, what is our ancient family that has shed blood and sweat for the city? I just want to prove that before I die, I never
We have never stopped fighting, even if we have done a lot of excessive things, but this is a family, and every family is the same. If we don’t have the pride of being in the family, then how are we different from those bloodthirsty businessmen?
The reason why a family can be called a family is that it has been passed down from generation to generation, so it can be called a family. If we are really going to perish today, then this family will end here. I will accompany the whole family.
Let’s witness the final sunset together!”
Locke walked up to Gene step by step, bowed ninety degrees and spoke very sincerely.
"Please help us, Mr. Jean, and help us keep this honor. Although many people may not understand what is the purpose of such impulsiveness, but after the family can restore part of its past glory, I am willing to take on everything. I
The same goes for my children, but my grandchildren have nothing to do with these things. After we stabilize, we will return everything we have committed in the past to the city. Although this is just a despicable rhetoric, at least before I enter the grave, this
This is my final bell for our Phoebes family!"
Gene raised his head and blew out a puff of smoke.
"Remember everything you said today Locke!"
Jean stood up, looked at Ran Zai, and pointed the cigarette butt at him.
"Isn't it time for heroes to stand up at times like this?"
Ran Zai pointed at himself, shook his head, and waved his hands.
"The hero said he wants to sleep now and has no time!"
Gene walked over with a smile.
"Then let me wake him up!"
