Chapter 183: Family Business

"So, you're going to send Quentin and Gomez to the Northeast's Dashang Affiliated Primary School for education?" Carlos Sr. stared at his second son.

Deco nodded.

"Why?" Old Carlos wondered, shouldn't the children of nobles hire a governess to receive an enlightenment education? Even if the Carlos family is not a nobleman, it will not let the children and grandchildren of the family mix with a large group of commoners' children, which really damages the prestige of the Carlos family. "Even if the Dashang Affiliated College is a prestigious school, it would be good to go to middle school again, so why send the children to such a far place when they are still young?"

Julio nodded, he was deeply influenced by his father when it came to educating his children.

"Yes, Deco, my father doesn't make sense."

"What my father said is very reasonable, but I actually plan to move my family to the northeast, so that the children can adapt to the environment there in advance, and they can have better development in the future." Deco has his own ideas, and it is normal for him to leave Mozambique and go to the more developed northeast.

"You're going to split up?" Old Carlos's voice trembled a little, and this was the last thing he wanted. Although he is not close to his second son, he is a family after all, and it is of course the best choice to live together.

"Father, you misunderstood, if possible, I hope you can also move to the Northeast with your children. Here, the land was nationalized by the government. Aside from this estate, there is not much to miss in Mozambique. ”

Old Carlos did not speak, clearly disagreeing with his second son.

"Besides, the Northeast is ahead of the world in terms of health care and education, and there are a lot of people in other countries there, and I dare not say that everyone is living in harmony, but at least there is no so-called apartheid."

"They are willing to live with filthy black people?" Figo thought it was incredible. As a large landowner in Portugal, it would be strange if you weren't racist. Deco is an outlier among them, and of course, even he wouldn't want to mix with blacks.

"In the same way, they didn't treat us as a minority, nor did they call us Rakshasa ghosts like the rest of the Qing Kingdom." Deco laughed, though the joke wasn't funny at all. So Carlos Sr., Julio, and Figo didn't speak again. Deco was a little helpless, and finally said, "Okay, that's it." The medical conditions in the Northeast are very good, and my father is older, so I feel more at ease there. The Northeast is located in the middle and high latitudes, so there are relatively fewer diseases, which is also safer for children. ”

This is an acceptable reason, but it is obviously not sufficient, and the Northeast is a strange place to everyone in the family. Although Deco has lived there for a few weeks, it is impossible for him to truly integrate into the local society. To say that you can understand the Northeast in this way, it is simply impossible, at most it is just a vague impression. And with such an unreal first sight, the whole family of all ages immigrated to the Northeast, which is difficult for those present to accept.

After that, there was another debate within the family, but everyone had their own opinions, and in the end there was no conclusion.

The next morning, the sky was a little overcast, and the wind was cold, which was somewhat unexpected by Deco. He had just walked around the manor when he saw his eldest brother, Julio.

"Big brother."

Julio nodded, and the two walked through the woods of the manor.

"Are you really moving to the Northeast?"

Deco was silent for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Why, I know you didn't tell the whole story yesterday. Father is not here now, so tell me everything. Julio was beside his brother, frowning.

Deco thought for a moment before finally speaking: "There are some things that I can't say yet, but ...... Big brother should have heard about the insurance team taking Eswatini. ”

Julio was stunned, but he didn't expect Deco to lead the topic to this aspect. He was of course very familiar with Eswatini, just west of Maputo, where he had been there for the grain business.

"Isn't it ......"

"Northeast Autonomous Region...... More precisely, the ambitions of the chairman of the Dashang Group are not limited to Mozambique, and the Eswatini is only the beginning...... That's all I can say. When Deco was in the Northeast, Rui was an agent of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau, and the most mentioned thing to him on weekdays was the secrecy regulations of the Great Merchants. Therefore, Deco, who already has a deep imprint in his heart, will not lightly say what Wang Yi ordered. However, Julio is his eldest brother after all, and if he doesn't make it clear on this issue, without Julio's help, his father Carlos Sr. will not allow him to immigrate with his children.

Deco's words were ambiguous, and Julio was a little suspicious at first, but fortunately he quickly reacted and said in surprise: "Are you worried that there will be a war on our side?" ”

Deco nodded slightly.

"Don't you have confidence in the Northeast Insurance Team?" Julio was surprised that before he went to the Northeast, the three brothers went to Maputo together, and then in the small coffee shop, they also talked about the fighting power of the Northeast Insurance Team. At that time, Deco was very respectful of the Northeast Insurance Team, why did he go to the Northeast and change his concept? Could it be that the Northeast Insurance Team is not as strong as rumored? But on second thought, no, the previous war with the big Portuguese landlords was going on as if it were devastating. Not only did it shock everyone in Mozambique, but even the nearby British and Boers were in a cold sweat.

"Big brother misunderstood, I'm not worried about the combat strength of the insurance team, I know their abilities very well."

"And what do you mean?"

"Because I know the strength of the insurance team, and I also know the ambition of the one above, some war seems inevitable. So just in case, I wanted my family to move to Tohoku, and I don't know if there's a safer place in the world, but it does make me feel at ease. ”

Julio fell silent, and although Deco didn't explain, he understood the general meaning. After thinking for a while, he finally spoke again and said, "Deco, I understand what you said, and I support your opinion. Our family immigrated to the Northeast! ”

"Big brother, thank you."

This is a rare consensus between the two brothers, but it also has a profound impact on the fate of the Carlos family in the future.

"We're all gone, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to stay in Mozambique!" Deco's attitude was resolute, but his tone revealed a vigorous ambition that was about to move. "This will be the place where I will do my job! Now my eldest brother has promised me to leave with the family, so that I can completely let go. ”

Julio looked at Deco, as if for the first time he knew his brother, who was usually taciturn but had a pair of dark eyes. The brothers are not the same kind of people, he Julio only wants to protect the family's prosperity, while Deco wants to build on his own merits. Although it is a family, the butt decides the head. Julio has always been cultivated by the elder Carlos as the patriarch of the family, and the many years of mentioning the face have already made the concept of the family deeply rooted in Julio's heart, for the sake of the family! And Deco is a completely different kind of education, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is free-range. The elder Carlos did not invest too much experience in this second son. Although the lack of family affection is a tragic experience for young children, it is also because of this that Deco learns early to be independent and not rely on others. Now that Wang Yi has given him the opportunity to make contributions, of course he will be grateful, and he also wants to repay this careerist who has the grace to support him, and at the same time realize the value of his life.

"There's Rui in the northeast to take care of, and you can go to him if you have any questions. In addition, the family will also have some savings, with the guidance of Rui, do some business, dare not say that they can be rich and rich, and maintain the family's livelihood, it should be a very easy thing. ”

Julio was suddenly a little curious about Rui's identity and energy in the Northeast, but he also knew that this was not something he should ask about and know. But since Deco said that Rui would take care of the family, there must be no problem.

Deco seemed to know Julio's concerns, and said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry. There is one thing you should know. That is, Jill is not my illegitimate daughter, she is Rui's daughter. I don't know what kind of kindness we have to raise her, and put it on others, but Rui really wants to repay us! ”

Julio had known about this for a long time, and in fact, everyone in the family knew Gil's identity. No one would have imagined that such a girl would become the nobleman of the entire Carlos family today. Fortunately, in the past ten years of getting along, although the Carlos family does not look at Jill differently, they have not treated her badly. Although the main affection is credited to the Deco couple, it does not prevent the rest of the family from following suit.

At breakfast, Julio made a decision to support Deco at the table, much to the surprise of most of the family. Old Carlos surprisingly didn't say anything more, obviously in his mind, Julio's words were very weighty, and the old man would not object to his face. Figo's attitude is intriguing, and he chose to stay in Mozambique to help his second brother, which Deco did not expect.

At the end of breakfast, Deco instructed his wife to fetch two bottles and jars from the bedroom, which smelled faintly fragrant and very good.

"It's ......"

"Rui helped me buy two patents in the Northeast, one is alabaster and the other is lipstick."

Sister-in-law Elise opened the bottle and looked at it carefully, "This seems to be something for women?" ”

"Rui is in charge of cosmetics, an item developed from the real room of the Great Merchant Industry. Originally, Dashang wanted to produce it himself, but Lu Yi asked for it from the chairman of Dashang......"

Everyone in the Carlos family probably didn't expect that their future family business would be a women's business.
