Chapter 174: Slaves
"Truth be told, Amo, you look terrible right now. β
When Li Mochen walked out of the room, Carl Holden glanced at the former with great concern.
Although he was just an ordinary business elite, he could still vaguely sense the cold murderous intent lingering on this body.
"Shall we leave now? we may go to Nathan's Gate, Mr. Peyton, he must not have left work yet. β
"Why are you leaving?"
Li Mochen shook his head, he thought that even if he went to the Gate of Nathan, he could only sit and wait for the result.
"I've got to hire some people here and buy something. Speaking of which, I may not have enough money now, Carl, can you do me a favor? I want to use the proceeds from the next two years in the Nathan Sports Group to borrow a sum of money from the bank, the more the better, not less than 20 million gold dong, I will receive it in two hours. β
"20 million gold dong?"
Carl Holden couldn't help but gasp: "Amo, you are serious, don't be impulsive. β
Li Mochen shook his head slightly: "I didn't impulse Carl, you should know my store plan, right?"
"I've heard about it!"
Karl nodded: "Boss, he said that you are very business-minded, and your plan is likely to be successful, but it will also offend a lot of people, and I think so myself." However, if it's just a short-term plan, it can help you make a lot of money. β
Li Mochen thought to himself that his every move was indeed under the watchful eye of the Nathan Group.
"But I'm not going to sell it, I'm really going to make the home appliance retail industry my future career. But if you want to keep it, sooner or later you will have to conflict with people. I think it's better to wait sooner rather than later, and instead of waiting for success to attract the covetousness of all parties, it is better to choose a stronger opponent at the beginning to show its might. This would at least let them know that the Rising Sun Company and Andre Lee Wildenstein were not something they could afford to provoke casually. β
"I can't give up on HΓ€zel, so I have no choice but to fight." You can also see that Antonio is dismissive of me, and I can't do anything about him except to make him pay for it with a war. β
"Got it!"
Carl Holden pondered for a moment, then smiled wryly, "Okay! I'll help you with this." Although I am not optimistic about it personally, this is your right. But then, I can't show you around the club, so I'll have to make a phone call now. Wait for me for an hour, and I'll bring someone to you later. Key card for meβ"
This person took the room card from Li Mochen's hand, and then pushed the door in.
Li Mochen turned his head to look at Chu Siguo: "Guozai, are you familiar with this place?"
This father and ancestor are from Guangdong, so after Li Mochen got acquainted with him, he directly followed the custom over there and called him Guozai, which is a more affectionate title.
Chu Siguo shook his head: "You think too highly of me, boss, how can I be qualified to come here? The membership qualification of the Cardinal Club is a net worth of tens of millions of gold shields." Many of my comrades-in-arms have contact with them, but the most they can do is to go to their liaison office and hand in a resume to apply for a job. β
"Alright, it seems like I'm on my own. β
Li Mochen said as he stopped the waiter passing by: "Man, I plan to buy some monster materials and magic weapons here, and hire some people, what should I do next?"
The Cardinal Club employee immediately responded politely: "Guests, the monster materials are on the first floor, located on the bottom floor of the Cardinal Club, there are a total of 97 shops, and on the second floor, there are a total of 74 magic equipment shops, including various brands such as Nathan, Arcadis, Medusa, etc., you can choose at will." If you have a privacy concern, I recommend that you return to the room rate after you have selected the items you want. All the magic materials and magic weapons provided by the Peacock Club are the lowest in the whole of Georgia, and no bargaining is allowed. β
Li Mochen thought that this method was good, and using the Cardinal Club as a medium could effectively prevent merchants from knowing the identity of the buyer.
"Then there are several auction halls on the third floor, and we organize an auction every week, and the prices of the auction items range from one million gold dong to ten million gold dong. On the fourth floor is our staffing agency, where you can find any employee you want, as well as mercenary groups and the like. In addition, on the south side of the fourth floor, there are several bars where many outsiders gather to wait for work, and on the fifth and sixth floors, there is a slave market and two slave auction halls. Sir, if you want to hire people, you can also consider these slaves. β
"There are still slaves here?" Li Mochen was surprised.
"There's a lot of it here. β
The waiter looked accustomed to it: "But they are all humanoids, and as you know, the laws of America have abolished slavery, and no one is allowed to buy or sell." β
Li Mochen frowned: "I never knew that America existed, and there were slaves. β
The main thing is that he has never seen him in his daily life. In the whole society, there is no such thing as a human.
In high school history classes, it is also mentioned that after modern times, human beings in the East and the West have reconciled with many humanoid races, and various races have coexisted peacefully.
"It's not that it's nothing, it's disguised. β
It was Chu Siguo who spoke: "They come from a variety of sources, some originate from the Old World, some originate from Southeast Asia and South America, and they are all captured and plundered by slave groups. Our Cobra Force has dealt with several humanoid rebellions in the past, killing many people, but the major media have not even heard of it afterwards. β
"This is a sanctimonious free countryβ"
Li Mochen felt very uncomfortable, but he knew that he couldn't do anything about it, he shook his head, and after thanking the waiter, he walked into the elevator next to him and pressed the button on the first floor.

At the same time, in the executive's office at Nathan Gate, Dwight Peyton was holding his desk behind his back and staring at the glass wall in front of him.
Inside the wall that should have been transparent, a picture suddenly appeared, and a figure with deep eyes appeared.
"In other words, behind Antonio, the bloody hand, is it really you, Mr. Speaker?"
"It's me, Dwight. You're looking into this, so I found it myself. β
The man who was called Mr. Speaker smiled slightly: "That's it, Dwight, I don't want to be your enemy. β
"It can't be!"
Dwight Peyton's eyes darkened: "Andre Lee Wildenstein is important to me, he is indispensable to my future. β
"Probably understood, my advisor is right, you expect him to defeat those monsters on the West Coast, and your competitors, right? But Dwight, Hazel, this girl, I can't just give up. β
The 'Speaker' shook his head: "Her life has been planned, and she should not deviate from the trajectory of her destiny." β
Dwight Payton couldn't help but lean back: "That is, we can't talk about it?, Mr. Speaker, you should know what price you will pay, right?"
"Guess what, you Nethan will take back your support for me, right? But even so, I won't give up. β
The Speaker's voice gradually became colder: "Don't force me to be your enemy, Mr. Peyton, although I only have a two-year term, I can still cause you a little trouble if I ask myself." β
