After the game, Argentinian media commented:
"Atletico Hurricanes easily defeated Cruzeiro, the top team from Brazil, even though they rotated half of their main players."
"It turns out that the Hurricanes Athletics team with Alan Willard is indeed like a mountain, insurmountable."
"Atletico Hurricanes have never lost, not even drawn, in a game this season with Alan Willard starting, winning them all."
"As long as Velarde remains healthy and can start, the Hurricanes may really be able to create a jaw-dropping miracle this season."
…
After playing Cruzeiro, the next league game was four days away, so the team had a day off. Coincidentally, April 15th is Simpson Henderson's 50th birthday. As Desia's boyfriend, Willard will naturally be there to celebrate his birthday.
Krisna is Willard's sister, and she used to know Henderson, but now Krisna has become Willard's bed partner, and she and Desia serve Willard together. It's a bit awkward to go together. .
In addition, school was also in session, so in the end Krisna decided not to go and stayed at school with Alyssa and Bertha.
After sending Krisna and the three out of the house, Willard and Desia tidied up, then took the gifts and headed to Henderson's Sarmiento Park with Desia under the escort of bodyguards. new villa.
This is the residence Henderson has just changed. The previous residence is no longer worthy of his current status.
In recent months, Henderson has adopted Willard's suggestions, combined with his own practical experience, and used various methods such as wooing, dividing, attacking, bribery, counterintuitive schemes, frame-ups, head-on defeats, etc., as well as bribing the government. , officials of key military and police departments, successfully unified the underground world of the entire northern area of Buenos Aires under their command.
You must know that except for the relatively prosperous city center of Buenos Aires and the huge interests that cannot be unified by one force, there are only northern, western and southern areas around the capital that can be unified, because the east is the sea.
By winning the northern section, Simpton Henderson will be on an equal footing with the big bosses in the west, south, and downtown, becoming one of the few road bosses in the capital.
Although there was a lot of consumption during this period, almost all the dirty money Henderson had made over the years was spent, but after successfully unifying the northern area and controlling a large number of gray industries such as casinos, nightclubs, game malls, loan sharks, etc., the blood has begun to return. .
Moreover, in the process of a small amount of direct action, the property grabbed directly after killing the enemy also made Henderson some windfall, which has stabilized recently.
For his 50th birthday this time, Simpson Henderson invited many important subordinates, allies, and road bosses to gather together, just to announce his strong rise and become a rare talk in Buenos Aires. One of the people.
When Willard and Desia got out of the car, there were already three posts and one sentry every five steps around the villa. They were full of bodyguards and the security measures were extremely strict.
Even some of the new bodyguards Daicia didn't recognize.
However, key positions, such as the bodyguards at the door, are still Henderson's old subordinates, so they naturally know Desia and Willard.
Seeing Desia and Willard get out of the car, they greeted them respectfully. As for the gifts, of course the driver Jeremiah Monterillo and others took them out of the car and delivered them to the villa.
It was morning, and except for a handful of Henderson's own men and nannies decorating the banquet hall, no guests had arrived yet.
Simpton Henderson was happy to see her daughter and Willard back.
Although Henderson was still a little unhappy with Willard's behavior of stepping on several boats, he basically accepted it. After all, Willard is good enough, the key is that his daughter is willing.
Desia: "Dad, I wish you a happy 50th birthday!"
Willard: "Uncle, happy birthday. I wish you blessings like the ocean, longevity as long as Mount Everest, good health, and all the best!"
It was the first time Henderson heard Willard's birthday greeting, and Daicia had not heard it either, but he could understand it literally. It meant wishing him blessings as broad as the ocean and longevity as high as Mount Everest. Then you will be healthy and everything will go well.
This was the first time Henderson heard such remarks, so he was very happy and gave Willard a rare satisfied smile.
Then, Desia gave her father a men's watch, and Willard gave her a high-end tea set and tea leaves bought from Chinatown.
Although Argentinians drink tea, they drink yerba mate, which is somewhat different from Chinese tea, and Villard doesn’t like it. Since finding tea leaves and tea sets in Chinatown, Villard has resumed the habit of drinking Chinese tea.
Henderson also drank yerba mate, so Willard gave him a tea set and tea leaves and asked him to try it to see if he could adapt to Chinese tea.
After giving the gifts, the three of them sat down in the living room. Henderson asked: "Willard, you seem to be very interested in China. You learned those previous strategies from Chinese books, and now you also give me Chinese tea and Tea set, do you have a good impression of China?"
Willard nodded and said: "Yes! I have read a lot of Chinese history, the history of modernization development, and the news, and I found that China is too great."
Willard then talked to Henderson about ancient Chinese history, modern history, and the huge changes after the founding of the People's Republic of China and reform and opening up.
Argentina and China, one in the southern hemisphere, one in the northern hemisphere, one in South America, and one in Asia, can be said to be the two farthest countries.
Therefore, ordinary Argentinians do not pay much attention to China. They only know that China is one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. However, under the propaganda of European and American media, it appears to be closed, authoritarian, backward and poor.
After hearing Willard's introduction, Henderson was shocked: "So, China's development is much better than Argentina's?"
Velarde nodded and said: "That's right, Argentina has defaulted on its sovereign debt several times, but China has never done so. Argentina has changed from a developed country to a developing country now, and you have personally experienced how much the peso has depreciated. Last year, Argentina had another debt default, and the peso has depreciated by 20 to 30% in the past year, and we have all suffered. Now the government is heavily in debt, has a shortage of foreign exchange, and the unemployment rate remains high, which is a headache for officials."
“Therefore, if you can get involved in the import and export trade, export Argentina’s surplus beef and mutton, soybeans, corn, tobacco, etc. to China, and then exchange it for high-quality and low-price clothes, shoes, furniture, and home appliances from China. , sell it to the people at a low price, stabilize prices and market demand, not only make money, but also be valued by the government and officials."
"Using money to bribe can only bribe some corrupt elements, but not honest officials. And you can't give money to everyone, and you don't have enough money to bribe everyone. But if you have your own multinational companies, farms, and shopping malls, It can provide employment for tens of thousands of people and affect the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. No one will dare to attack you easily. But you can use this deterrence to kidnap the government and military police to deal with you. It is not impossible for people from other circles to unify Buenos Aires and even the entire Argentine underworld in the future and become the godfathers of the Argentine underworld."
"In addition, China has a lot of U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves. If you have the ability to bridge the gap, help the Argentine government borrow U.S. dollars from China to repay foreign debts, and then repay the Chinese with agricultural and sideline products exports. This will not only be valued by the Argentine government, but also by the Chinese And thank you for helping them burn through their excessive dollar reserves."
"At that time, your import and export trade will become even more prosperous and you will become Argentina's leading rich man."
"When you have money, there will naturally be people working for you. You can expand as much as you want, and no one can stop you."
"Of course, these are just my wildest suggestions. If you really want to engage in import and export trade with China, you still need to hire professional talents and lawyers. But in the general direction, doing business with China will definitely not be a loss. The Chinese people He is a typical example of getting rich through hard work, and rarely has the gangster mentality like Europe and the United States. As long as you can have a relationship with China, you can make a lot of money out of thin air by relying on China's economic boom."
Simpson Henderson's eyes lit up.
He was still complacent because he had unified the underground world in the northern part of Buenos Aires and became one of the few top bosses in the capital. Unexpectedly, Villard would give him a new direction. Looking directly overseas and targeting the whole country, is this ambition too big?
But the opportunity to become a guest of the boss of a multinational company or the government is really tempting.
Simpson Henderson couldn't help but yearn for it.
However, his daughter Desia immediately poured cold water on her father, telling him that he was thinking too far now. First, the company was still relatively chaotic internally and needed to be integrated. On the other hand, Henderson doesn’t have that much money now and can’t afford overseas trade.
Although a business license and registered capital don’t cost much, if you need to hire professionals, make preliminary preparations, and do it on a large scale instead of a small family workshop, then obviously you can’t open it with just a few million pesos. It would cost at least tens of millions to do it.
Willard also told his father-in-law that he was only responsible for proposing ideas. He didn't know whether they were operational or not. Therefore, he really had to be fully prepared, do a good job of research and research, and ensure success before he started doing anything. He invested a lot of capital in it, and he would be heartbroken if he lost money.
Simpson nodded in understanding.
This is how he used to unify the forces on the road. He did not follow all of Willard's suggestions. Instead, he combined his own experience and the opinions of his think tanks before taking comprehensive action. Therefore, within a few months, It took time to do it successfully.
If we only follow Willard's suggestions, then many of them are just words on paper and cannot be realized or implemented.
But no matter what, Willard's advice allowed Simpson Henderson to find a new direction of struggle.
What's the use of just being an underground boss? Never see the light of day.
Only when you are an entrepreneur and can provide legitimate employment opportunities for the people can you be looked down upon by the government and dare not touch him easily.
Henderson decided that this was his long-term goal in the future.
