Three hundred and eighty-fifth chapter farewell to Eitley
At the Great Wood Manor, located in the center of Orlando County, luxury cars drove in from the main entrance and parked in a special parking lot, and then the heads of the three major auto companies got out of the car one by one.
George was waiting in the parking lot. He watched the three middle-aged men get out of the car, greeted them with a smile, and greeted them friendly. Then George took them to the lawn of the manor, where tables and chairs were arranged, and the four of them sat down. George looked at the three and sighed: "Richard, Durant and Marshall, three old guys, how long has it been since our four families sat together like this?"
This sentence also made the three major automobile companies feel deeply moved, because since they and the Great Wood family were furious with the introduction of black people half a century ago, although the businesses of the four companies overlapped, they have never sat together and had a good talk.
Perhaps they had private contact for the interests of the Itali Consortium, but at least on the surface, these four families have already gone their own way. In the memories of the four of them, they have never had their father and the patriarch of the other family face-to-face contact.
"Everyone is obviously in the same city. Perhaps it is only one kilometer away from my house to your house. There are still many commercial cooperations between our families, but no one can let go of the cracks at that time, and no one is willing to take that step first. What a strange and unreasonable thing. I am afraid that no one will understand it when it says it, but it really happened."
Richard, the patriarch of the Teffer family, said helplessly: "Maybe the relationship between us is an important reason why Itley has a very advantageous resource but is unable to compete with other consortiums. Even Chicago, which sells corn and tractors in the west, and Cleveland, which mines and refins in the east, can easily suppress us."
"Not only that, we ourselves are almost going to destroy this beautiful city!"
This time I spoke with General Motors Durant, who sighed and said, "I still remember that at the beginning, Italy was a city established by the Mediterraneans and the Anglo-Saxons. Only these two nations live here, so Italy became a car kingdom. But with the continuous entry of black people, let's see what it has become here? Whites keep fleeing, the population is decreasing, and now they are on the verge of bankruptcy!"
Finally, Chrysler's Marshall also said: "Yes! Our family has always had information in the city government. The government's fiscal revenue has been decreasing over the past few decades. Even if this incident is not done, it will be no more than thirty years at most, and Itley will go bankrupt."
"So when it comes to the Chinese named Zhou Ming, he helped us make a lot of changes." Richard said.
Looking at the words of the three major automobile companies, George was silent. He really didn't know what to say, nor did he know what to do with Zhou Ming.
A few minutes later, Mayor Martin also came. Compared with the three major auto companies, no one went to greet them. After all, the mayor Martin was first black, and his background was completely incomparable to them. Therefore, it would be great to have a housekeeper to pick him up.
Zhou Ming was the last to attend, and Governor Edward was also with Zhou Ming. This time, George brought the families of three major automobile companies and mayor Martin to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou Ming is very welcome! This is the glory of the Great Wood family and this manor!" George said.
As a core member of the Kendian family, Edward had undoubtedly seen big scenes, but now he was still very surprised when he saw this scene, because these things in front of him could be said to represent all of Itley's politics and business. As far as he knew, it took only one month to get it to Itley, especially at the beginning, he came with a revenge mentality, and now he has to make it over.
With just such a person, he could still get this treatment in such a short time. Edward could not imagine how he did it.
It turned out that Edward had a high opinion of Zhou Ming, but now, he feels that he is becoming less and less able to understand Zhou Ming.
Then Zhou Ming and George and the others greeted each other, and then came to the dining table on the lawn with them and sat down. Zhou Ming said directly: "I don't think there is much introduction to this friend next to me. He is Massachusetts Governor Mr. Edward, who comes from the Kendian family."
With Zhou Ming's introduction, George and others greeted Edward one after another, saying that they knew each other. Zhou Ming finally said: "Then what I want to say later is that Mr. Edward invited me back to Brighton, and I promised him, so today's lunch, according to our Chinese saying, is to have a farewell to everyone, which means to have the last meal before leaving."
Although George had told them before, Zhou Ming still stunned them after he said it in person.
Because for George and others, their mood for Zhou Ming is very complicated, because from the things Zhou Ming does and the ideas they come up with, they should hate Zhou Ming so much that they should set off firecrackers to celebrate when they hear that Zhou Ming is leaving.
However, they still have a little bit of the idea of not wanting Zhou Ming to leave. After all, the Great Wood family is no longer as good as before with Zhou Ming's several plans, and they are even facing a trend of collapse. In this case, there are other consortiums outside pressing step by step, and without Zhou Ming here, they are obviously unsure.
With such concerns, Richard asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, although I can understand that Governor Edward will come to invite you in person, it must be that there was a big trouble in Brighton, but our Yitley's affairs are not over yet. Can you stay for a while?"
With Richard's lead, everyone else said: "Yes, Mr. Zhou Ming, you also know that Yitley is full of holes now. If you weren't here, he would probably collapse immediately. Besides, you have just acquired 35% of the shares of Big Wood Bank. No matter what the situation of Big Wood Bank is now, you don't want him to have any accidents, right?"
Edward was stunned when he heard these words. Did he not expect that Zhou Ming had become an indispensable person for Italy? This is too weird, right? Is Zhou Ming a monster?
Faced with these retentions, Zhou Ming smiled and said to them: "First of all, I am very grateful for your trust in me, or your needs can satisfy my vanity, but that's all."
He smiled and joked, and then Zhou Ming suddenly turned to Edward: "Next we are going to Brighton. Governor, you know I won't make this decision for no reason. Don't forget our agreement."
Edward, who was not prepared, was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that what Zhou Ming said was the exchange between Zhou Ming and him when they left the cemetery yesterday. To put it simply, Zhou Ming needed a reason to rush to help Brighton.
It is obvious that Zhou Ming is no longer the one who has just arrived in Brighton and has nothing. Not only is he supported by the Down family and the California Consortium, it can be seen from the farewell lunch just now that the Itley Consortium also trusts him very much, so he can completely give up Brighton. After all, the investment there is not worth mentioning compared to San Francisco and Itley.
Zhou Ming needs a reason to return to Brighton. As for things like Xinyi, even if there is one, he will pay it back when he ventured to Iraq, so there must be another reason.
Thinking of this, Edward exhaled a breath of turbid air and said to Zhou Ming: "Don't worry, I will not forget that the outside world is what I promised you, and after you helped me, we lost the capital to breach of contract."
