At 9:45 a.m. on September 6, in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Baoxiang County, the new lord Gordon Gardner was welcoming guests at the manor that originally belonged to the Chapman family.
Originally, this time was scheduled for a meeting between him and the financial queen of the underground world, a super-rich person known in the circle as "Mrs. Wen". The main content of the negotiation was the change of hands of many properties owned by the Chapman family. But just a few hours ago, Gordon received a temporary message from Mrs. Wen, who apologized and said that the agreed-upon business meeting would be postponed due to force majeure.
Gordon handled this sudden schedule change effortlessly: he first politely expressed to Mrs. Wen that "don't take it to heart about a trivial matter like releasing a pigeon," and then asked the latter tactfully, Can you tell me what kind of trouble she encountered? Maybe I can help her.
Raphael's response was naturally a polite but clear rejection, and Gordon couldn't find out anything. However, he still refused to give up and directly activated the "law" of his power, trying to figure out the reason why Raphael postponed the meeting.
The reason why Gordon worked so hard and so hard was of course not because of his gossip, but because he was essentially the same type of person as Yun Ming and Xia Yan, and both had the problem of suspicion. From Gordon's point of view, Raphael's failure to make the appointment was actually too coincidental. He couldn't help but wonder whether this extraneous episode was the work of a guest who was entering the conference room at this moment.
Three days ago, at the Golden Palm Hotel in Bandar Seri Begawan, Gordon had already conducted an on-site profit distribution in order to stabilize the overall situation. However, the meat cutting was just a temporary measure, which could only satisfy the temporary desires of the jackals, so that they would not resist the fact that Gordon was over their heads for a short time. A truly benign, solid industrial division that can bring long-term benefits is the catalyst for Gordon to tie the powerful elites in Southeast Asia to his own chariot.
What's more important is that the lie was that the opportunity for the big shots to gather at the Palme d'Or that day was William Chapman's charity dinner, which led to the fact that a large part of the dignitaries present were the Fourth Son. The people of William's faction were the Ten Thousand Islands Faction headed by Palmer Bartholomew, the Governor of Ten Thousand Islands. Correspondingly, the group of people who supported the second son Sam, the eldest son Trick, and the eldest daughter Cecilia may be to avoid suspicion, or for other reasons. In short, they were absent from the carving up of the Chapman family. A gluttonous feast of huge legacy left behind.
This group of non-direct members of the Baoxiang County faction is also someone Gordon needs to win over. For this reason, he arranged the second spoils-sharing meeting today. The attendees were all prominent figures in Baoxiang County, possessing a decisive energy in this area. Their influence in both official and business circles was something that Gordon could not underestimate.
However, whether it is the Wandao County faction or the Baoxiang County faction, Gordon does not need the loyalty of these people for too long. After all, there are only less than sixteen months left before the official start of the candidate game. Gordon only needs to ensure that there is no fire in his backyard during this deadline. When the result of the game is settled, he will not bother to be the emperor of Southeast Asia. This is why Gordon used this "precious" grass-head king position as a bargaining chip early on and successfully attracted Palmer to join his camp. To evaluate this transaction, perhaps I can only describe it with the sentence "My honey, his arsenic."
Originally, the negotiation meeting between Gordon and the heads of Baoxiang County was originally scheduled for the afternoon of the 6th. As an outsider, Raphael was Gordon's priority for trading. But the former was neither early nor late, and it happened to be announced late at such a sensitive time. It's not surprising that Gordon was suspicious and thinking about all things.
Several attempts to use supernatural powers to deduce the truth all ended in failure. Gordon was not disappointed or discouraged by this result. Although they are both powers whose main application is intelligence deduction, Gordon Gardner's "Law" is not at the same level as Lu Yin's "Oracle" and Xu Xi's "Tiance". .
Gordon is indeed good at reasoning and calculation, but he cannot guess the truth out of thin air. Whenever he activates "Law", Gordon needs to prepare enough useful information collected in advance and build logic on clues so that he can trace the source and
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Consider cause and effect. This way of drawing conclusions is more like an advanced version of deduction.
Physics believes that the current state of the universe can be calculated through extremely precise calculations, and the state of the universe in the next second can be obtained. The result can be obtained through calculation every second, so destiny is an objective existence. The ghost-level "Law" is obviously not enough to give Gordon Gardner the ability to predict the future. If he can go one step further in the future, then he will become the incarnation of Laplace's Demon.
If "law" can still be explained by science, then oracles and divine policies are completely within the management scope of metaphysics. Lu Yin and Xu Xi seemed to be two devout pilgrims who had established relationships with gods and Buddhas all over the sky. The latter still asked me questions and you answered them. The news fed back by God was also unclear and ambiguous, requiring Xu Xi to rack his brains. The analysis of word puzzles; and Lu Yin and even gods took the initiative to inform his ears, and the content was still in easy-to-understand vernacular. Even if the immortal from heaven personally came down to earth to give some advice, it was nothing more than that.
"Due to lack of information, I couldn't figure out why the transaction with Mrs. Wen was disrupted. But I think that among these people, there are probably people who have ruined my good deeds."
In the spacious conference room, Gordon sat at the top of the chair in the center, with dignitaries from Baoxiang County sitting on both sides. Although he was looking at everyone in front of him with a smile and friendly eyes, in fact, he had already labeled half of the people present as sneaky in his heart. This saturated suspicion method, where everyone looks like a suspect, is really Yun Ming's style.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Gordon raised his wrist and checked his watch. After confirming that the time was correct, he put down his left arm: "Okay, no more waiting, it's time to start. Those who are late will automatically forfeit."
After a lackluster opening statement, Gordon stretched out his arms and asked everyone: "Who makes the tea today?"
All the big guys in the room looked at me, and I looked at you, but no one had the guts to talk to me.
"Everyone, please give me your opinion. Don't all look at me. I am the convener today, not necessarily the lord of Southeast Asia."
This "humility" was only met with ridicules from others to cover up the embarrassment. Gordon felt that the atmosphere of the meeting was a bit depressing, and wanted to warm it up with some more polite words. At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, half bald and bald, trotted into the meeting room. The first person who came in was Time then apologized to Gordon in a low voice:
"Mr. Gardner, I'm sorry, there's a traffic jam, I'm sorry!"
Seeing Gordon nodding silently, the middle-aged man seemed to have been pardoned and quickly picked a seat nearby to sit down.
"Xi Feng!"
Xi Feng, a time traveler wearing a South Asian body, stepped out of the corner of the conference room.
"Move the empty chairs."
Xi Feng took action immediately after receiving the order. The attendees watched this Indian-born man with the weird name "Xifen" and quickly removed the extra chairs.
At the same time, Gordon also took a tray of tea sets from the side: "Since everyone is so polite, let me make tea. Please turn off your mobile phone and communicator."
Everyone followed suit and placed the communication equipment with the batteries removed on the table.
Suddenly, another middle-aged man in a suit with a thin hair opened the door of the conference room: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
The man came straight to Gordon: "Sorry, Mr. Gardner, I'm late! Traffic jam, traffic jam..."
Hearing this, Gordon smiled playfully. He had recognized that the person coming was the helmsman of a retail giant in Baoxiang County: "Traffic jam? What kind of car are you in?"
"I'm riding... a Rolls-Royce." The convenience store king reluctantly responded.
"Hmph," Gordon snorted coldly: "We are all riding Gulfstreams and Bombardiers. You are riding in a Rolls-Royce. No wonder you are stuck in traffic."
"You ride in a Rolls-Royce, you have no qualifications to attend this meeting!"
The owner of the Rolls-Royce was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. In fact, it’s not that he doesn’t have a private jet. It’s just that Gordon suddenly announced this morning that the afternoon meeting would be held in advance.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Then, he was caught off guard.
Of course, as a business tycoon, this person has a clear conscience. What Gordon meant when he said these words was not aimed at Rolls-Royce, but at killing a chicken to show the monkeys. This was an unfortunate mistake. Well, it's hard to say whether Gordon will let him go today.
"Find a seat and sit."
Gordon seemed to be interested in turning the page, and the convenience store king quickly bowed his head and thanked: "Yes, thank you!"
But after looking around and not seeing an empty seat, he realized that this was where Gordon's real power lay.
"Can you find it?"
"……No."
"You are eleven minutes late because you don't pay attention to this meeting and you look down on us." Gordon began to use excuses and make up accusations: "Why do you want us to treat you as brothers?"
"Go home and wait for the call. I'll let you know the results!"
This "reasonable" speech stunned everyone present. The typical convenience store king who went astray and was caught by Gordon looked at the silent partners on the left and right, gritted his teeth and left.
After performing this play with an audience, Gordon finally stepped into the topic of today's meeting: "Regarding the huge interest vacuum left by the Chapman family, there are a total of eighteen individuals or families who intend to take a piece of the pie. . But according to my assessment, nine of them are not qualified to absorb such a huge benefit."
"So, I talked to their managers respectively, and they were very considerate to me, so I finally persuaded them all to quit."
While Gordon was talking, the work on his hands did not stop, and the freshly boiled tea was already brewing: "Today, there are only nine of us left, and one has been withdrawn just now, so there are eight."
"We are all considered powerful, but I call on you to unite. If everyone starts to rob, no one will get anything to eat in the end. I hope that everyone will make money and work together to give the Chapman family this fat sheep." Slaughter and share the profits, and we can share Joseph Chapman's money together."
"My dad is very rich, hahahaha!"
Xi Feng, who was sitting next to him, raised his head in surprise. He didn't expect that Gordon hadn't forgotten the character of "Joseph's illegitimate son".
"I'm proposing a plan for everyone to study." After laying the groundwork for so long, Gordon finally said, "Ah, it's not really research, it's just a favor for me."
"To be honest, I don't want a penny from the Chapman family's inheritance. You can negotiate among yourselves and divide it how you want."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked and dumbfounded by these words, because their psychological preparation was completely reverse construction. Everyone thought that Gordon's plan was for him to eat the meat alone, leaving at most some bones, or even just the soup, for the others to share. Who would have thought that this new lord who came to power would be so generous and lovable like a good-luck boy.
Several big shots from Baoxiang County took a few seconds to calm down. After regaining their composure, they all realized that the price offered by Gordon was so generous that it was far beyond the scope of buying people's hearts. This cannot be a piece of pie falling from the sky, but a sweet bait with many crises behind it.
"I put forward two conditions."
Sure enough, Gordon's gift was not free: "First of all, everyone here is a decent person with serious business. I hope everyone will not get involved in those illegal and gray industries. If it is involved in that kind of business, Please deal with it as soon as possible and I won’t pursue it.”
“Second, I will soon start to crack down on various illegal industries in Southeast Asia, including but not limited to telecommunications fraud in Northern Myanmar Province, underground casinos and banks in Malay Province, custom services in Chiang Mai Province, and poison cultivation in the Golden Triangle. , refining, transportation and distribution one-stop.”
"At that time, society will inevitably usher in a short and unstable period of pain, and your business will inevitably suffer some losses. If you are willing to give me Gordon a face, or just because I give away so much profit Come on, don’t hold me back on this matter.”
"After I finish speaking, who is in favor and who is against?"
