Zhou Ming's tough words made the atmosphere in the restaurant very tense, but Edward, Lawrence, and Louis didn't move, because they all knew very well that what Zhou Ming said was the truth.

Adams, as the first family in Massachusetts, is also the father and son became president, and then created the family of the first dynasty of the United States, and it is not a day or two to take root in Massachusetts, although they have arrived in Rhode Island, it is still impossible to completely avoid the Addams family, especially after Zhou Ming made such a public speech at the dinner at Auburn Castle.

Now that they know this news, how can the Addams family be indifferent? Even if they take the initiative to ask the Addams family to take the blame afterwards, it will be useless, and the Addams family will definitely use knives against the other three families in order to avoid the possibility of such a thing happening next time.

In addition, these three people, as the spokesmen of their respective families, must have come to some conclusion since they have come here today, otherwise why would they go to such great lengths to appear here? If they simply flipped the table and left because they didn't agree with each other, wouldn't they be three-year-old children? Then childish behavior is definitely not their style.

It was these reasons that made them want to swallow Zhou Ming in one bite, but they still nailed their butts to the chair;

To Edward Lawrence and Louis's gaze, Zhou Ming just sneered: "How is it? Have the three gentlemen calmed down now? If you still want to continue arguing, I can accompany you, I have just notified the club's manager to automatically renew the contract, which means that we have twelve hours a night, I think this is enough for you to finish the fight for the rest of your life, right?"

Edward Lawrence and Louis glanced at each other, but Edward said first: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think you misunderstood, we didn't actually quarrel, it's just that any alliance needs a center." ”

Lawrence and Louis both nodded in agreement: "That's right, an alliance without a center will be a mess, and it is destined to do nothing well!"

"I see, but it's not a problem for me because I can be the center. Zhou Ming said.

Edward Lawrence and Louis were stunned, they both thought they had heard it wrong, and then they both laughed when they were sure they had heard it correctly.

Zhou Ming also smiled, but his tone was still very serious and said: "I know you will think I am joking, after all, I have no capital and no resources now, and I have even been forced into a corner by the Addams family and must leave the United States, what qualifications do I have to be this center? But I want to say that I am not joking, my words are very serious." ”

Edward shrugged: "Okay, Mr. Zhou Ming, I'd love to believe you, but can you give me a reason? ”

In the face of Edward's slightly mocking words, Zhou Ming didn't get angry, but replied calmly: "Because being the center of this alliance means being able to grasp the direction of things, and using this can bring the greatest harvest to the family." Then in such a situation, Mr. Governor, you three families, Kendeni, Lawrence and Lowell, whoever becomes the center, the other two will not agree. ”

"Is it so difficult to change the center to Mr. Zhou Ming, can you avoid it?" Louis asked rhetorically.

"It can be avoided completely, because the Brighton consortium may be a behemoth that I can't imagine, but because of this, it is worthless to me, as for my opponent in the final analysis, the Adams family is only one, and no matter how rich the Brighton consortium is, I can't take even a penny. Zhou Ming stared at everyone and said, "For you, I'm just a professional manager, that's all." ”

"So," Zhou Ming leaned back in his chair and finally said, "Rather than the three of you arguing back and forth and not getting a result, it's better to leave it all to me." ”

Zhou Ming's words were undoubtedly very constructive, but Lawrence still said: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, don't you think it's the most ridiculous thing for us to leave things to you?"

Zhou Ming shook his head: "I don't think so, unless you can come up with a set of effective ways to deal with the Addams family, and this method can also convince the other two." ”

Edward Lawrence and Louis both shook their heads, and Edward asked Zhou Ming: "We really don't have any good way, but the important thing is that we only need to convince two families, but you have to convince three of us." ”

"With all due respect, Mr. Governor, if you can convince the other two, I think there should be a balance of power within the Brighton consortium now, not Adams's monopoly. Zhou Ming said, "The fundamental reason for the current situation is that you can't unite. ”

"Well, I'll admit you have a point. This time it was Louis who said, "Then Mr. Zhou Ming, you might as well talk about your thoughts first, such as how you want to fight against the Addams family, and then we will discuss it." ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't have any thoughts on that. Zhou Ming replied very happily.

Zhou Ming's answer blew up Edward Lawrence and Louis on the spot like a bombshell, and they looked at Zhou Ming as if they were petrified.

This answer was undoubtedly unexpected to them, because from the previous slap on the table to the later explanation, Zhou Ming said it clearly, and today's meeting was also convened by Zhou Ming, he still wants to be the center of the alliance, or what kind of professional manager, so under this premise, he has to come up with a charter to be convinced, right?

But he just threw out a sentence without any idea...... Is this teasing me?

With Zhou Ming's answer, the atmosphere at the scene was awkward for a while, and Zhou Ming continued: "I'm not joking, I really don't have any ideas, the reason is very simple, I don't have a systematic understanding of the Adams family and the Brighton consortium, and on the premise of not knowing the real situation, if I rashly come up with any charter, I think it is just on paper, and it is the biggest irresponsibility." ”

"But is it not your responsibility to say that you have no idea?" asked Lawrence.

"I don't think I've ever said that. Zhou Ming spread his hands and said.

But that's what you mean between the lines. Louis reminded Zhou Mingdao.

Zhou Ming smiled: "So what does Mr. Louis want me to say? The roots of the Addams family are all in the Brighton Bank, let's sell the shares of the Brighton Bank hard, so that the Addams family is going bankrupt? Or do we keep buying the shares of the Brighton Bank in private, and when the shares we hold exceed the Addams family, we can kick the Addams family out of the shareholders' meeting anyway?"

Zhou Ming paused for a moment before he said, "Is this what you want to hear? Don't you think this is completely a fantasy?"

In response to Zhou Ming's rhetorical question, Edward stood up and said: "Okay gentlemen, I think we are sitting here today to deal with such a common goal as the Addams family, so we all have to be calm, anger will only blind our eyes, make us blind who can't see anything, and in the end will only make our enemies take advantage, which is probably not the result we want to see." ”

Edward is worthy of being elected governor of Massachusetts, and his words immediately stabilized everyone's mood.

Then Edward said to Zhou Ming: "And Mr. Zhou Ming, in fact, as far as I am concerned, it doesn't matter who is the core of this alliance, the important thing is that this core must lead us to victory, but I'm sorry, as far as Zhou Ming's speech just now, it can't convince us." ”

"I never said I was trying to convince you. Zhou Ming said.

Edward Lawrence and Louis were shocked again, they didn't expect Zhou Ming to give such an answer, especially Edward, he felt that Zhou Ming's answer was to give him a slap in the face.

Facing the stunned eyes of the three people in front of him, Zhou Ming stood up: "I think it is necessary for me to reiterate, we are sitting here now to talk, it is not that I begged you to come, and this alliance is not that I said that he existed, he existed, and I said that he did not exist, and he did not exist." We're not campaigning here, you're not big guys, we're completely equal. ”

"And the most important point, you still don't seem to understand the current situation, do you think we can talk about it if we can't, and say goodbye if we can't?"

Zhou Ming deliberately paused when he said this, and then said word by word: "Have you not noticed that from the moment you set foot on this bay, you have no way back, unless you are willing to go back and face the wrath of the Addams family, or you can put down your dignity and beg, maybe you can find a way to survive for yourself." ”

Edward Lawrence and Louis gasped, but before he had time to think about it, Zhou Ming then said: "So I can tell you here, I don't want to convince you, but you have chosen me, you must believe in me unconditionally and support me, and I will give you the future you want." Otherwise, go back to Brighton and get under the crotch of the Addams family to stay safe. ”

"Bet on your future, or give up your dignity and the dignity of your family, the choice is yours. ”

After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he sat back in his chair, waiting for the choice of Edward Lawrence and Louie, Zhou Ming's expression was very serious, and his eyes swept back and forth over the faces of the three of them.

Zhou Ming sat there and seemed to be confident, but in fact, he was very bottomless in his heart, after all, his attitude was too arrogant, and his words were too nonsense, and he could hardly come up with anything convincing, so he could only keep forcing them into the corner, so that they had no choice.

It is important to say that this approach will make them make the choice they want, but it can also make them go against the grain.

But fortunately, God was still on Zhou Ming's side, and soon Edward was the first to make a choice: "I am a politician, every election campaign is actually a gamble, I am used to it, but I am not used to bowing to the enemy without any battle, so I choose to gamble." ”

With Edward's choice, both Lawrence and Louis made a decision: "I also choose to gamble. ”

Zhou Ming smiled at this time, and he stretched out his hand to Edward Lawrence and Louie: "Since everyone's choice is unanimous, then I think I have reason to congratulate our alliance on its establishment." ”
