Chapter 383: The Accident of Repentance
After Zhou Ming held a meeting with Mayor Martin and the three major automobile company families, there was a very delicate state in the whole Etri, because both the Big Wood family and the three major automobile company families began to frantically sell their enterprises in the city of Eitley that day, which made the big conglomerates, including Morgan and Chicago, stop the pace of robbery and acquisition. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, these consortia are not stupid b, everyone is sensible and there must be a demon when something is abnormal, your local consortium of Eitley was so nervous before, and desperately blocked the acquisition of foreign consortiums, and now it is so active to hand it over, this is to say that there is no problem inside, but I am afraid that even a three-year-old child will not believe it!
So in this way, the acquisition of enterprises and real estate in the urban area of Itley stopped so strangely, except for some small consortiums for unknown reasons, everyone waited and watched, so that the Eitli transfer market, which has been very hot, suddenly turned sharply calm.
But this has nothing to do with Zhou Ming, because his idea has already come out, and it is the business of these consortium families themselves. Of course, it doesn't matter if Zhou Ming is still in charge, Zhou Ming knows very well that the current situation is just a temporary suspicion, after all, those outside consortia want to take advantage of the weakest time of the Big Wood family to buy the company here, and Big Wood and the three major car families also want to sell it.
Isn't this obviously a long-term configuration of bitches and dogs? As long as everyone thinks calmly for a few days, driven by profits, the acquisition will soon continue again. After all, what Zhou Ming prepared for them was the destructive power of black people, but this kind of thing is difficult to detect in the short term, not to mention that analysts from other consortiums will generally only analyze according to normal business processes, and it is impossible to find such long-term problems.
It's just that this will be a few days away anyway, Zhou Ming is too lazy to care about these now, he has another thing to do.
On the morning of May 12, Zhou Ming drove to the Nanding Cemetery on the western outskirts of Itley, the largest and longest-built cemetery in Itley, where Mrs. Margaret was buried.
In fact, Zhou Ming originally thought about finding a cemetery with better feng shui for her, or burying her in the cemetery of the Great Wood family, but in the end she was buried here according to her daughter's opinion;
Zhou Ming was accompanied by her daughter Julia, and there were some cars behind her, and George, the current patriarch of the Big Wood family, and his son Wood were also in the car.
After an hour's drive, Zhou Ming and the others finally arrived at the cemetery, because the cemetery here does not allow any vehicles to enter in order to maintain respect for the deceased, so Zhou Ming and they can only park the car in the parking lot and walk up the mountain.
Here as the pomp of the Great Wood family of the Itley royal family, more than a dozen bodyguards quickly got off the car before them, and then helped Zhou Ming and George complete the clearance, of course, this real clearance is impossible, after all, this cemetery is too big, but at least it can ensure that they can walk unhindered and will not be in any danger.
This situation is very surprising, after all, this is a cemetery where civilians are buried, and the people who usually come to worship are ordinary people, so such a scene is undoubtedly rare.
Some of the people who happened to come here to pay their respects were suddenly surprised: could it be that some big man was coming to worship, was it to celebrate today's festival, or was there a civilian hero who had died and needed to be mourned?
Obviously, in his opinion, only when attending the funeral of a civilian hero or celebrating a holiday would the big man set foot in this cemetery, but he couldn't figure out what was going on, especially since he didn't see any reporters and cameras accompanying him in the crowd.
Finally, he recognized one person in the crowd, it was Mr. George, the patriarch of the Great Wood family, who could be said to be the king of the automobile kingdom of Eitley, but he didn't expect him to come here!
It was only in his emotion that there was one thing that made him feel puzzled, for he saw Mr. George and his son, who did not seem to be in high spirits in the crowd, but were still very bored, as if they had been forced to come, but who could force a king?
Of course, ordinary people don't understand the situation of the upper class, and the only person who can force George to come over is Zhou Ming.
Because Zhou Ming fulfilled his promise to Mrs. Margaret and defeated the Big Wood family, this Itley will also go bankrupt in a short time after the businesses move out of the city, so it is necessary for Zhou Ming to come and worship this poor woman. Of course, in order to make her feel at ease, it was necessary for Zhou Ming to let the enemy who killed her come over in person to confess his mistakes to her at her grave, so Zhou Ming asked George and Wood to come together.
I still remember that Julia was scared to cry at the first sight of George and Wood, and I think that during this time, they have become a nightmare for little girls.
But it's no wonder that she was originally a very hard-working child, and she didn't have a good life with her mother, and finally watched her mother burned to death in the house, how could a thirteen-year-old girl be able to carry such a heavy thing?
Later, after Zhou Ming slapped Wood in front of Julia, Julia slowly eased up, Zhou Ming originally asked Julia to take revenge as much as she wanted, but Julia didn't do anything, just said that their father and son could go to her mother's grave and say sorry.
This made Zhou Ming feel very relieved, because originally Zhou Ming would do this because he didn't want Julia to live in hatred for the rest of her life, but now it seems that this little girl, like her mother, is very kind, and she thinks too much.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhou Ming took Julia and George Wood to Margaret's tombstone.
The ritual rules of the Great Wood family are similar to those in China, first Julia holds white flowers in front of Margaret's tombstone, and then puts cream and bread on the altar in front of her, which is considered to comfort the dead.
After doing this, Zhou Ming glanced back at George and Wood: "I think it's better not to let me remind you." ”
One sentence made Wood tremble unconsciously, obviously the bench that Zhou Ming smashed him before left him with a psychological shadow.
George and Wood had no choice but to stand up, originally they wanted to stand there and confess to Margaret, but Zhou Ming frowned and said, "Mr. George, I think it's all come to this point, you don't need to make this discount, right?"
When Zhou Ming said this, George looked very embarrassed, he wanted to discuss it with Zhou Ming, but after seeing Zhou Ming's eyes, he retracted again, and immediately pulled Wood to kneel down together, and confessed to Margaret in a voice that Julia and Zhou Ming could just hear: "Dear Lady Margaret, first of all, I need to tell you that I am guilty, I don't say this to ask for your forgiveness, just to tell you that I deserve it......"
George and Wood are repenting according to Western habits, which is not enough in Zhou Ming's opinion, but this is already very incredible in the eyes of those big Wood family bodyguards, after all, with George and Wood's identities, how can they ever see them almost being repented with their heads pressed like this? Of course, these bodyguards are very professional, so they didn't say anything about it.
And after George and Wood's confession ended, Zhou Ming also stepped forward and lightly placed the chrysanthemum in his hand in front of the tombstone.
"Lady Margaret, I'm sorry I'm just here to pay my respects to you, but I'm here with George and Wood, and they've both knelt before you to confess to you, but maybe they're not that sincere......"
Zhou Ming's words had just come to this point, when he heard a sudden earth-shattering thunder next to him, and a bolt of lightning slashed directly at a tree not far away.
This frightened George and Wood, and they immediately knelt down again to confess to Margaret, and this time emphatically emphatically said: "Please Margaret must stop worrying, we are very sincere! We can assure you that we will cover all the expenses for Julia to start a business in the future, and if she is not willing to use the money of the Big Wood family, we can also provide her with all the help she can get!"
Listening to the trembling words of the two fathers and sons, Zhou Ming smiled and said to the tombstone: "Lady Margaret, I also want to tell you that they have also received the punishment they deserve, because of the relationship of the Big Wood Bank, this family has become fragmented, and in addition, the entire Eitley City will go bankrupt in a short time, although I know that even so, I will not be able to repay their sins, but...... That's enough. ”
The worship did not last long, or even in the state of George and Wood, and they left the cemetery in just over half an hour.
However, when they returned to the parking lot, they were stunned, because the parking lot was obviously completely different from when they came, and there was actually a helicopter parked here.
What's going on? Isn't this a civilian cemetery? How could such a thing happen? Think about it, I just heard a noise not far away, but who would have thought that a helicopter had flown here?
Soon these questions were answered, because the helicopter's hatch was opened, and a familiar figure stepped off the plane, Zhou Ming broke his identity: "Governor Edward, I really didn't expect to see you here, why do you have any political mission here?"
The man who stepped off the plane was none other than Governor Edward of Massachusetts, and the identity of this person shocked George and Wood as well, and they didn't expect him to come here.
But Edward didn't think about it so much, he just walked up to Zhou Ming step by step with a smile on his face and said: "I came specifically to find you, Mr. Zhou Ming, or to invite you back to preside over the overall situation on behalf of my friend, in short, we all need you!"
