Chapter 1,247 Collapse: Beginning (Part 2)

5:23

Dougs was anxiously waiting in the yard of his home. His wife and children had already gone to the Phoebes Resort Manor. Several servants at home had prepared a sumptuous dinner, but Dougs was most worried about It's a matter of money.

Douglass had already proposed to break away from the Angus family at the last Angus family gathering, and the Angus couple agreed and said that they would send someone to deliver the share belonging to the Douglass family today.

In the last family meeting, not only the Dougs family, but also three other families also wanted to break away from the Angus family. Every family meeting was very tense because everyone knew that the Angus family was about to be unable to survive. If we don't leave, we may be destroyed along with the Angus family. This is what Douglass doesn't want to see.

And now Dougs has planned some businesses he will build in the future. In the past, Dougs relied on his in-law relationship with the Angus family to get the originally declining family back on track. The entire family is in Angus. The family settled down under the huge cloud, but over the years, as the Angus family continued to do things they knew they couldn't do but had to do, the Angus family as a whole suffered debt losses.

However, the Angus couple also promised that they hope that the whole family can work together to get through this extremely difficult period. Many families still stayed firmly because everyone has received huge favors from the Angus family, and Douglas also I know that what I am doing now is a bit unkind, but the current situation no longer allows Douglass to carry on. The Angus couple also expressed their understanding that day and agreed on the spot to those who wanted to leave the Angus family. .

Watching the time pass by, Dougs became a little worried, because the situation at Angus's house was really not good now. At this time, Dougs saw two people appearing on the street.

"Second Miss! Why are you here?"

Douglass looked at Niya and Gris with some surprise, and he hurried over to open the door.

"Uncle Dougs, I sent you the money, but the wallet department is so slow."

Niya said and put the heavy money bag on the ground, and they both carried two bags of money each.

"Ten million Mr. Dougs here, I'm sorry for being late."

As he said that, Gliss took out a contract. As long as Gries signed it, he could leave the Angus family, and all debt issues did not belong to Douglass.

"No, I don't need that much, I"

"Is there anything to eat? Hurry up and bring it to me. I'm starving to death."

Gris walked over with a smile and bowed.

"Mrs. Angus said that if there are difficulties in the future, the Angus family will also lend a helping hand and asked me to take the message. Thank you for your hard work as a family."

Gris said that Dougs was not feeling well at this time. He wanted to slap himself twice, but in the end Dougs signed the contract and asked the housekeeper to deposit the banknotes in the fresh-keeping vault at home.

The reason why Dougs sent the cash directly is that for some family businesses with debt problems, Section 7 strictly limits the transfer amount and does not allow the company's money to be transferred to private accounts.

Looking at Niya behind her, she looked happy, as if she had returned to her own home, so she walked in naturally. In the past, Niya would often come to the Dougs' house to play, and she had a good relationship with the Dougs' family.

Douglass was a little ashamed, and Gris next to him continued.

"Mr. Douglass, it doesn't have to be like this. Everyone knows it. No one blames you."

Dougs hummed. Dougs' own industry had suffered a lot of losses before. It was the Angus family that helped fill the loopholes and sent some people from the family to help put Dougs' industry back on track. However, due to the overall depression in the city, Douglas eventually went bankrupt, but Angus Construction still arranged a position for Douglas and gave him a certain share of shares.

Now, instead of reducing the amount of shares that should be obtained, there is an increase of more than three million. Douglas stood in the dim sunshine, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Remember Mr. Douglass, if you are willing to do me a small favor, our Hillman family will become your solid and reliable partner."

In a daze, Dougs recalled what Eddie had said to him that night. Dougs glanced back at Nia, who was already making a fuss in the dining room to get the wine.

Dougs began to hesitate because he couldn't do it. He didn't know what Eddie wanted to do, but he was sure it wasn't something good.

Douglass returned to the dining room and started eating with Niya and Grace. It wasn't until about 7 o'clock in the evening that Niya and Grace left Douglas's house.

"By the way, Miss Second"

"What's wrong? Uncle Dougs."

Niya asked, and Dougs smiled and shook his head, his expression slightly bitter.

"You can come to my house to play anytime you have time."

Niya waved her hands and walked quickly. She would go to give money to three other people who quit the Angus family tomorrow.

At this time, Gris suddenly spoke.

"Second Miss, I think if we give one or two million less, neither the madam nor the master will know about it. After all, the current situation of the family"

Niya looked at Gris in surprise.

"It's not good to do this!"

Niya said, and Gris shook his head.

"The four families of them can only survive by relying on the Angus family, but now the Angus family is in trouble, and they want to leave the family, and the lady and the master have given them so much more. Miss, now even one cent is good, for the Angus family, it is life-saving money."

"But Grace, have you ever thought about it? They were not useless when they were in the Angus family, and they did their best. It's better not to do such things. Besides, I won't do such things behind the scenes. Let's go back quickly. I have to go to the wallet department tomorrow. Really, why is the efficiency so low."

Gris looked at Niya in surprise, but soon he nodded and followed quickly.

"Miss, I'm really sorry for saying that just now."

"Gris, I think there is no need to mention such things. Anyway, I think there is no problem with my family. There have been such times before!"

Gris hummed.

The two walked towards the subway station. At this time, in an alley, there was an ordinary passerby who seemed to be drunk. His eyes never left Niya and Gris.

"Report to Lord Eddie, it seems that we have failed."

In a living room on the second floor of the mansion in Hillman Manor, Eddie looked at the report from the Hillman family members on a light and shadow screen. All the people present were a group of strong and sharp-eyed elite mutants of the Hillman family.

"It seems that Gris is not going to help. I can only find another opportunity."

Eddie stood up and said. Now Eddie's most urgent thing is to kidnap Niya and use it to threaten the Angus couple. This point is the most effective for the Angus family.

"What do you think, Andur!"

Eddie looked at the big bald head sitting in front of him. There was a dark red pattern tattoo on his head. The whole person looked extremely fierce. Andur was the strongest mutant of the Hillman family. According to analysis, Andur's strength was at least close to most of the heads of the Operations Department.

"Although it is very strong, there is a way to solve it."

Eddie hummed.

"Once you have the chance, you must complete this mission, no matter what the cost!"

A bunch of mutants in the room stood up and bowed formally, and Eddie nodded.

"Andur, remember that you can only succeed, not fail!"

"Got it, Lord Eddie!"

Eddie walked to the window and looked at the merchants who had entered the manor one after another, showing a satisfied smile.

"Okay, go back and take care of your work."

The bodyguards retreated respectfully.

Eddie pressed his hand on the window sill and scratched it.

"You have escaped again."

Eddie looked very solemnly at the distance of the street, where the Angus family was located. Eddie knew very well that if he wanted to defeat the Angus family now, he had to let the couple let go, but they had been unwilling to let go, making it difficult for the Hillman family to carry out the next plan. As long as they took over the last industry of the Angus family, everything would be settled, and no one could stop the Hillman family's plan.

Recently, the gods have rarely attended city meetings. Eddie is very clear about this because there are more and more voices of dissatisfaction about the gods in the city.

It has been so many years, and the gods have long been tired of the city. Eddie knew this a long time ago because the gods are walking around the city and enjoying their lives. Eddie has known all this since 20 years ago, and there is one thing that surprised Eddie in the information exchanged between Prometheus and the city's AIs.

The calculated values ​​finally obtained by the gods' plans and decisions are enough to show that the gods will definitely leave the city one day, it is just a matter of time, because they are no longer human.

Although Eddie is not sure why this is, Eddie is very clear that the Hillman family's plan will be realized soon, and the lifeline of the city has actually been controlled by the Hillman family.

The merchants and the merchants of the family, both groups of people are now centered on the Hillman family and have begun all-round cooperation. On the AI ​​network, in just half a year, the Hillman family has earned more than 5 billion.

The AI ​​network has created a market economy of nearly 20 billion, and the Hillman family has received 5 billion, while the initial investment is only 1 billion, and the profit is nearly 4 times, which is a brilliant and prosperous era for the entire Hillman family.

Now the capital controllers in the city have focused their attention on the Hillman family. Eddie looked at the people coming in from the gate in an endless stream. The Su family and the Phoebus family who were unwilling to cooperate are now facing various problems.

Eddie enjoys this feeling very much. He turned around and picked up the wine on the table and tasted it. In the past, he always felt that his throat was particularly uncomfortable when drinking, but now it won't.

The eight major associations now have no way to deal with the Hillman family, because they have lost the trust of the merchants in them, although this trust has been disintegrated bit by bit due to several changes in the city.

"Prometheus, how many chances are there?"

Eddie asked, and a cluster of black flames appeared in the air, and a burning black flame gradually changed into a human face.

"The chances of capturing Nia Angus are currently increasing, and there are at least 101 chances."

Eddie looked at Prometheus with some surprise, because some time ago, this plan was able to capture Niya 100% only 10 times, but he didn't expect it to increase so quickly.

"Are they all 100 percent?"

"Yes, Sir Eddie, as long as the chess pieces can act as planned."

Eddie hummed. He couldn't wait any longer. He really wanted to see the painful faces of the Angus family. If Alpha agreed to his proposal, the plan might have been successful by now. Eddie couldn't understand Angus. Why on earth could the Si family be so stupid, and the gods obviously did not favor the Angus family, because over the years, the gods had always been considering the overall problem of the city, and the Angus family was delayed little by little because of this construction. Collapse, already approaching the brink of collapse.

"Let's temporarily stop the criminal plans of the AI ​​network. After all, the economy is very important now."

Eddie smiled and raised his head. The city's virtual payment share is now close to 50%. Because the Hillman family only released some small deposit interest and small loans, many people have transferred their money to In Hillman Finance, Congress has no way to interfere, because the money entering Hillman Finance is more convenient for taxation, and taxation has increased a lot in recent years.

Many people are reluctant to deposit money into Section 7 for management because many people do not want to pay taxes and receive their monthly salary in cash. However, with the launch of some services by Hillman Financial, many people are willing to do so. If you save money, taxes will naturally be paid easily.

Eddie knows what Qike wants to do, to replace physical currency with virtual currency for easier management. However, such a plan is unlikely to succeed now.

"The road has been completely blocked by me."

At this time, Eddie noticed something strange. He immediately called up a light and shadow screen. Sure enough, he saw Alpha sitting on the bench outside the Su family's mansion opposite. He was wearing uniform and staring at his home with a solemn expression. Mansion.

"Alpha Angus will appear across from the mansion very frequently recently."

Eddie smiled and turned around and walked away.

"It does not matter!"

Fallen leaves were floating in the air in the breeze. Alpha stared quietly at the people who kept stopping on the street and walking into the Hillman family. Among them were people who had a better relationship with the Angus family in the past. Although some people would Come and say hello, but most of them pick up the pace once they notice Alpha.

The reason why merchants run so diligently is that the censorship in cities has become stronger nowadays, and merchants will be in trouble if they are not careful, and their business qualifications will be revoked easily, but now the Hillman family provides free services. Many businessmen's companies provide some assessments, which can effectively solve the parts that businessmen have omitted that may violate the law.

Most businessmen also listened to Aidi's advice. They would rather make less profits and maintain the stability of the industry. Many businessmen also listened to Aidi's advice.

crunch

The door of Su's house opened. Alpha glanced sideways. Su Li walked over slowly and sat next to Alpha.

"You don't want to do anything to the Hillman family!"

Alpha shook his head.

"Don't be stupid. There is no evidence that the Hillman family is guilty. This is one. The other is that even if you find evidence, you can't shake the current status of the Hillman family, because the Hillman family is now important to the city. Extremely important.”

Seeing Alpha stand up, Su Li grabbed the corner of her uniform.

"Come to my house and have a drink?"

Alpha shook his head, and Suli stood up and hugged Alpha.

"Let's go!"

Alpha is still investigating many people who recently claimed to have committed crimes after listening to their AI personal assistants, but most of them have bad records and are in very bad economic situations. There is no evidence at all in the Law Hall. Proof, but Alpha always feels that things are not measured by their bad deeds and economic status. Mo Xiaolan also mentioned the doubts about these things.

Because most people commit crimes when they are desperate, but in most of the cases that Alpha has dealt with over the years, although the probability of committing a crime by a desperate person is higher, Alpha understands what it means to be truly desperate.

"I think you should help your family get through this difficult time now."

Su Li said leisurely, and Alpha shook his head.

"What I'm worried about is not what will happen to the family, because no matter what, as long as the Angus family can survive, after the construction is completed, although it will still take a long time to make profits, it will get better and better in the future."

Su Li was a little surprised, but she immediately slapped her forehead.

"I almost forgot. You are the leading genius in this city. Small problems like the economy cannot trouble you."

Suli noticed something strange in Alpha's eyes. From her eyes, Suli saw Alpha's hostility and anger towards the Hillman family.

It is indeed as Alpha said. What businessmen fear most when doing business is that the capital chain is broken, which will lead to the inability to bear an excessive size, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the industry. But Mrs. Angus is very smart, and she changed Selling most of the Angus family's properties for cash was a very wise move.

Because the Angus family is already in a debt crisis, if they refuse to let go, only some minor market changes will be enough to damage the Angus family's industry, and the damaged industry will increase the debt crisis. Instead of If you hold an industry that may have greater risks, it is better to sell it and realize it.

Although these industries are still generating money, the money generated is not enough to cover the current deficit of the Angus family. The deficit is mainly generated in three aspects: raw materials, construction, and workers' wages. Including several major problems in the city, As a result, the Angus family has fallen all the way and has hit rock bottom.

The property sold can buy time for the Angus family as a whole, and can make the entire Angus family focus on construction. This kind of retreat to advance is impossible for Su Li to leave, because she I know that I will never get to this point because of certain things.

Once the construction is completed, the city's transportation logistics, garbage disposal pipes, network transmission conversion network, and light and shadow material transmission network will be enough for the Angus family to make a comeback.

"Even if you don't worry, at least you can stay home with your parents and your idiot sister when you get off work."

Alpha paused.

"Sully!"

Su Li looked at Alpha who turned around and bowed formally with some surprise.

"I can't bear it!"

Sully said and tried to bow, but Alpha held her down.

"I just want you to help my sister, she needs something."

"I understand, you don't have to ask me about this matter. Your parents have asked me to ask for it several times. I am not a hard-hearted person. I have received a lot of favors from your family in the past. I will go to see her in a few days. , let her come to work in my company first.”

Alpha hummed, she was indeed a little worried about Niya, because Niya didn't do anything right now, she basically just had fun all day long besides exercising. After all, there was nowhere to go when she went out to work, so Niya could only stay at home for the time being, but This won't work in the long term.

Seeing Alpha's eyes pass through her, always staring at the brightly lit Hillman family opposite, Suli sighed, pressed Alpha's shoulder, and turned her back.

"When do you want to see me? Go away and I'll have a drink with you."

8:09 pm

"Go away, if you dare to take pictures secretly again, I will beat you to death!"

With a furious roar, Niya jumped on the roof of a car and stepped on it. Several people in the car were so frightened that they rolled out of the car, and the car's alarm system also sounded at the same time.

At this time, the Ablon family across the street was also holding a dinner party. There were many people. Many people who had just arrived stopped in the street and watched the second daughter of the Angus family treat some people roughly.

Within a few minutes, a management vehicle rushed over quickly. More than 10 Section 5 members on the vehicle got out immediately, and soon someone pointed to the opposite side.

"Get your stuff out!"

Niya grabbed a man's collar angrily. The man turned pale with fright, and Niya raised her fist.

Gris hurried over to stop him. At this time, several people from the 5th department also noticed it. They looked at each other awkwardly and had no choice but to go over. Some people directly said that they were violently treated by Niya.

"Why do I treat you so violently? You are at the door of my house 24 hours a day, secretly filming what's going on inside. Can't I take action?"

Then several people from Section 5 checked the mobile devices carried by these people. There were no pictures or videos of Angus's house in them. On the contrary, there were a lot of things from the Aibelen's house across the street. They were indeed Reporter, Niya felt a little embarrassed.

"Who filmed you? Do you still think you are still the same Angus family as before!"

Niya looked at each other angrily, and several people from Section 5 also tried their best to dissuade her, but soon from the opposite courtyard, Freya came out holding Michelle.

"I'm going to sue you now for improper filming!"

As soon as Freya finished speaking, several reporters immediately apologized and deleted the information on the spot. With the persuasion of a team leader from Section 5, the reporters drove away.

"Still so impulsive and don't think about the causes and consequences, Niya."

Freya said, Michelle stared at Nia, and Nia waved her hands disapprovingly.

"Who told them to sneak around my door these days!"

At this time Niya also noticed Michelle.

"What are you looking at, kid!"

Niya said and put a hand on Michelle's head, but Michelle blocked it with her hand the next second.

"Hey! What a self-righteous little devil."

Nia burst out laughing.

"By the way, Sister Freya, I heard that your daughter is an incredible genius. She may surpass my sister in the future. I have heard many people say so."

"It's not maybe, it's definitely!"

Michelle said seriously, Niya patted her cheek, turned around, waved and walked away.

"Niya, I'm sorry. If your sister is free, I hope you can inform her and come to my small living room. I want to talk to her about something."

Nia smiled and jumped into the yard, and Freya knelt down next to her daughter.

"Don't talk nonsense Michelle!"

"I'm a serious mother!"

Freya smiled happily and nodded.

"Just do what you want!"

Niya was walking on the lawn, spitting out her frustration.

"That brat, how dare you look down on me."

Gris also noticed that Michelle, the little girl who was praised by most of the family as the genius of the next era, was indeed looking at Nia with contempt.

"Second Miss, don't worry, I think your future will not be bad."

Nia laughed.

"I will be satisfied if I am happy all my life. Power, business and so on are not for me!"

Michelle still looked back at the Angus family from time to time.

"Mother, I think that sister just now seems to be a little less useless than everyone says on the surface."

Freya nodded.

"This is inevitable. No one is useless when they are born. Remember Michelle, people are divided into different levels. People are divided into groups and things are gathered in the same category. As long as you see people clearly, you can see the whole world clearly!"

Michelle nodded sensibly. When Freya brought her daughter over, many people immediately rushed over and praised Michelle.

Freya just kept smiling and entertained people all the way. What she was most worried about at this time was whether Alpha would agree to her and Lolita joining forces to nationalize medical care.

Because this matter had to be done. Lolita used to be a teacher of medicine in her school. Freya originally thought that she had retired, but she didn't expect that she would continue to stand up.

The previous 4-department matter had been slowly settled in the city without being clear. Freya could no longer wait, and she had to make it clear with Alpha.

"If this city wants to continue to develop, you must make changes, Alpha!"
