Chapter 18 If you want to carry a crown, you must bear its weight
In early summer, the temperature in Los Angeles changes from the comfort of spring to the unbearable heat, and Berezov's - poison - nest - embodies the heat that perfectly matches the temperature.
At dusk, the house, which had been raided by the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Bureau police only a few days ago, was lively, and the surrounding guys wearing short sleeves and tattoos on their arms began to step into the courtyard familiarly, and these people and acquaintances in the courtyard kept greeting each other, as if they were coming to a party. And the house belonging to Belezov not only did not look decayed after the police patronized, but on the contrary began to prosper, the beautiful Russian girls in the courtyard with beer and writhing with Eminem's rap, the men in wide T-shirts gathered around the oven waiting for the barbecue to be baked, and the owner of this courtyard, the little Berezov, was even more smiling and happy, as if he had just won hundreds of millions of prizes.
"Doko, my dear cousin, you are so satisfying to me, in just one week we have recovered a full 15% of our customers! You know what? The guests who left us are slowly returning, and the reason for the return is that Green made a bet with someone else in Beverly Hills, and the bet was about the industry loopholes you told him. This bet made Green win a full 100,000 dollars, but also made those rich people who thought they were using high-end goods collectively dumbfounded, I never thought that the rich would doubt the integrity of our competitors because of the error of a few tenths of a gram, a few tenths of a gram, what is this for those rich people who are worth more than 100 million? But they just care! ”
Berezov was obviously drunk, and excitedly took the Russian girl next to him into his arms, and at the same moment buried his face in the other party's round roll and shook it around. The sound of 'Poruru' kept coming out of his mouth......
Wait for Berezov to raise his head. A serious Doko spoke, "Cousin. Looks like we're going to have to move on to the next step. ”
Berezov looked at Doko, who was wearing a suit and did not relax at the party, and said: "In such a hurry? ”
"Of course." Doko said as a matter of course: "If you want to win, you have to be faster than the other party." ”
"Cousin, after we have a complete transportation channel, we are gradually gaining the trust of returning customers, so the next step is to make them feel convenient. You also have to pay a lot of money, we have to order a whole batch of glass pipes, if the customer who buys our 'ice' receives the 'goods' in the glass pipe, just light the lighter and can use it. Do you think they'll ever miss taking that thing out of foil or plastic? ”
Duoke tidied up the suit on his body, picked up his wine glass and said: "Integrity, fast and convenient, this is the business strategy we have discussed a long time ago." ”
"No problem." Berezov agreed very happily, but he directly changed the topic and said: "Doko, after our business improves, you don't seem to be very happy. ”
Doko was not very happy, and he rarely smiled since the beginning of the party: "How can I be happy with the situation of the Doko family in the Armenian quarter. ”
Did he really think so?
Of course not!
Doko is still in the midst of the shock of meeting Green when he just stepped into Beverly Hills a few days ago!
The vast manor, the palatial house, the English-speaking butler, and the grumpy young master presented another world before his eyes, and before all of them, the Armenian quarter seemed insignificant. Sasse's O.G., who would have exploded if he lost millions of dollars, became even smaller.
"I'm going to relax." Doko slowly got up from the crowd and pulled a Russian girl into the room. The second he stepped into the house, he saw Mkoyan kissing another girl on the sofa, and he also saw Damas who didn't know how to deal with these girls with a shy expression looking at the beautiful women around him with a shy expression in the crowd full of longing, and everything began to become different from the original expectation.
Tick, tick, tick.
At this moment, Doko's phone rang, and when he took it out of his pocket and saw the familiar phone number, he answered it with a smile and said, "Hello, Dokov." This is a joke, which represents his inner satisfaction with the initial improvement of his career, and proves that his confidence in the revival of the family has increased.
"Go home." The voice of the old lady of the Doko family on the phone became a little different, and the attitude of what emotions were being nurtured was very obvious.
Doko paused, letting the scantily clad Russian girl in front of him stand by and look at him: "Mom, is it okay?" ”
"Come back, and we'll talk about it then."
Toot, toot, toot.
Doko's voice after hanging up the phone brought a hint of concern, and then he turned his head and shouted at the two brothers in the room, "Mkoyan, Damas, we have to go back." ”
"Doko!" Mkoyan turned to look at his brother with great dissatisfaction, he definitely didn't want to leave at this time.
Damas's eyes were also full of puzzlement.
They had no idea how Doko could just walk away at what was supposed to be celebrate.
In the eyes of everyone, the three Doko brothers drove away from Berezov's stronghold, and the brothers returned to the old house in Armenia without saying a word, but when they just got out of the car and opened the door with the key, there was a very cold voice in the house.
"Can anyone explain to me why Damas's school told me he hadn't been to school for a whole week?"
"And who's to tell me how Doko would take so many days off for him in his brother's name?"
When the night was approaching, the old lady sat in a rocking chair in the room in her pajamas and looked at a book of "World History" under the lamp with her glasses, the dimness of the lamp and the old house were far less attractive than Berezov's party, but after returning to this house, Doko could stop thinking and feel an inexplicable sense of security.
"It was me calling." Doko admitted.
The old lady stopped the rocking chair when she touched the ground with her foot, casually put the heavy book "History of the World" on the coffee table where the lamp was placed, and said in a very deep voice: "Shut up for me!" ”
"If it weren't for me, an old man, I couldn't stand the boredom of life and turned on the TV. Maybe I don't know until now that the three of you were taken from Berezov by the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Bureau. "The severity of the old lady and the scene that the three brothers of Doko have just experienced formed two poles. On one side, it's as warm as Los Angeles, and on the other it, it's as cold as ice as Alaska.
“Mom。 We didn't do anything wrong. Damas replied with the usual tone that only the most favored child in the house had.
The old lady didn't get used to him at all this time: "Really? ”
"A student who is supposed to be in school with an A goes to the streets -- selling drugs -- and is still expecting the authorities to give you the Good Citizen Award?"
"Do you know that if we really had a conflict with Sass one day, everything you did in the past week would kill you?"
Mkoyan was already holding back a sense of resentment when he was called back from the party by Doko, and when he returned home, he was counted down by his own mother, and he had an even more impulse to say a few words: "Mom, Damas is also surnamed Doko......"
"I-he-fuck--now expect the hospital to call me, and it's better to tell me directly on the phone, 'Mary, the hospital made a mistake twenty-eight years ago, that idiot Mkoyan is not your son.'" The old lady pointed to Mkoyan's nose and said: "The leader of a family actually asked you to instigate money for others, or for Russians. I'm starting to regret why I didn't let the couple crying because of the loss of their child in the hospital take you away! ”
Duoke never thought that his mother would be so angry, and comforted: "Mom, we are also for the Duoke family. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Don't forget that you're Armenian!"
In a word, Mary directly tore apart the longing in Doko's heart with one sentence, and shattered the shadow that was like a mirage in front of his eyes.
Yes, they are Armenians, and for the entire Armenian region, these three brothers have this aura and can be sheltered by the whole region during the family demonstration. So, once the three brothers of the Doko family mixed up with Berezov, who was already inseparable from the Russians, was he still Armenian? Why could his ass sit on that golden chair in the family meeting?
Now Sass doesn't have to bother at all. A single vote at the family meeting would have taken away the only remaining chair in the Doko family.
Doko understood why he kept thinking about the manor, it was a cautionary tale. It was as if he had stepped into the manor not to enjoy it, but to send Green a poison that could have taken his life.
The old lady looked at Doko in despair and said, "I've survived for so many years, but I didn't expect you to lose the entire Doko family, stupid!" ”
Her hair vibrated slightly as the old lady roared, and a low mood filled the room.
Doko stood still, muttering, "Do you think I'm comfortable sitting in that golden chair at every family meeting?" ”
"Doubts gradually eat away at my consciousness, and I hope to count every day in gray or black, hope, and I only want a glimmer of hope for the revival of the whole family, because no one cares what I think. Since the month of my father's departure, my world has only been left with the vows that I keep repeating, and I said that one day I will take revenge on the plight and cold eyes that the world has imposed on me, but I have just taken a step, and I have ...... in one step."
"I told you to be patient!"
The old lady didn't know how to explain it, and slammed a heavy fist on Doko's shoulder, and when the sound of 'bump' came out, the old lady silently turned around and walked into the room: "It seems that you are not ready to become a 'king' at all, otherwise you can't understand the truth of 'if you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight'." ”
If you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight!
If you want to carry the crown, you must bear its weight!!
The meaning of these two sentences and the outsiders who need to bear the parties will never understand, sometimes a tradition, a title is equivalent to a mountain, this mountain is directly pressed on the fragile human body from top to bottom, and the person who bears the title cannot but carry it, who makes you have the qualification of an heir.
"You three let's go." The old lady said calmly, and she did not seem to have a trace of fear in this night when danger could come at any time.
Doko asked, "Go...... Which? ”
"Wherever you go! The hotel, your cousin Berezov in Russian territory, any woman who has fooled around with you, as long as you don't let the people of Sas find you, where else can you go? ”
Mkoyan also lost his anger just now, and asked with concern: "If that is what if you come here...... What to do? ”
"I'll call you when I'm done with that." The old lady returned to the lamp: "Mkoyan, you and Damas go upstairs to prepare, and tomorrow at dawn Damas will be sent to the school for boarding." ”
When the two sons went upstairs, the old lady looked at Doko who was walking towards her and asked, "Doko, did that golden chair put too much pressure on you?" ”
"Yes." Duoke doesn't shy away from it
Mary smiled and said, "Do you know what your father did with it?" ”
Doko didn't respond, but the expression was a clear indication that he was waiting for the follow-up.
"Your father isn't superhuman either, and he's nervous before the subject comes, but the reason he's better than any other man is that the man I love is not afraid of problems. You have to imagine how your father faced difficulties on a daily basis, a man, when difficulties come, he can have the idea of evading, but he must show a roaring momentum, because there is never a problem in this world that can be avoided, you have to stand here and wait for him to come, play with him, try your best to win this battle, this is the way a man should go. ”
"Remember today, this is the first time since you become an adult that you have to rely on a woman to solve the problem."
The room was quiet, and the silence was a little oozing.
"That's right." The old lady suddenly added at this moment: "What did you plan to do when you have money?" ”
"What?"
"After your cousin Berezov has made enough money, how are you going to revive the Doko family?" She repeated the question.
"Recruit enough gunners, of course, and then ......"
"Still too tender, you think you can beat Sas? Tell me, why did those good gunmen leave a powerful family like Sass to take refuge and stand by your side to bear the dream that is likely to be destroyed? Also, how long will it take you to raise a group of men who won't sell you for money? Otherwise, how are you going to deal with Sasse to buy everyone ten times more than you? How did Ben-La-Deng and Sa-Da-m fail, and have you forgotten? ”
Doko understood something and asked, "What does Mother mean?" ”
"I mean my solution to the problem, not yours! It's like the way a woman treats a family, you can only have a family if you give to it, not listen to someone else's mouth! ”
"When will you be able to carry this home...... the old lady said as she looked at the starry sky outside the window. (To be continued.) )
