Chapter 199 Deception [♪/♬]
In two days, three more people fell into Eric's trap, bringing Durin a super high return of 110,000 yuan. If it weren't for the fact that Eric was unreliable, Durin would really be reluctant to abandon such a talent. In fact, many people will deceive people, as small as a lie, as big as a fraud case that deceives millions of dollars, but the real scammer is not easy to find. First of all, they must be able to deceive themselves, and secondly, they must have enough psychological capacity.
If you just tell a lie, you may feel any psychological burden, but when you add up a liar's lies and traps, and many people go bankrupt or even commit suicide by jumping off a building, in the face of corpses that have lost their lives one by one, and when they are faced with the criticism of public opinion, those who can still laugh at life are qualified liars.
Dorin got out of bed and pressed the alarm that almost jumped up, he rubbed his hair and walked to the bathroom, this nap was not very comfortable, because he was woken up by the alarm clock before he could sleep well. He didn't actually plan to rest before taking a nap just now, but he really didn't have anything to do while sitting, and finally lay down on the bed. The hot water made him feel very comfortable, and after a simple shower, with the help of the maid, he changed into a very decent set of clothes, put on his hat, took his crutches, and was about to go out.
Savi and the others took a boat at two o'clock in the afternoon to Illion, and Durin was to pick them up. It is difficult for anyone who has never been on a sea boat to imagine that the sea looks very stable, but when you sit on the boat, you can feel the constant jolting and shaking, and under the action of the lack of reference and the cascading waves, it can even make people feel like the boat is stepping back. When Du Buddha came, he couldn't vomit on the ground, and he was really not at ease that no one was going to pick them up.
Besides, these people can leave his hometown and relatives from such a far place for him, why didn't he pick them up in person? Doolin always believed that the maintenance of the relationship is two-sided, and both need to pay to maintain the relationship.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, accosting two women who looked like they were skilled at first glance and a female tourist who was going to spend the night discussing the origin of the universe, I finally saw a huge passenger ship approaching from the sea level. The fifth-story passenger liner already made Durin feel that it was a behemoth, but when he heard that there were even more terrifying warships docked in the military harbor of the Empire, larger than a mountain, he couldn't imagine the feeling of oppression of the battleship heading towards him.
He felt that if he had the chance, he had to see for himself what it was like to see a mountain crashing against him.
Just when Durin thought that the group of boys might not find him, and that he would not be able to find them, he saw a group of boys walking down the gangway one by one under the "escort" of the crew. Durin greeted him in confusion, and the bored Savi couldn't help jumping up when he saw Durin coming, and he waved his hands and shouted "here" loudly as he jumped.
"Is this your friend or family?", the white first mate complained as they walked down the gangway, "God, I can't stand it, if they have to take a passenger ferry next time, you or assign an adult or two to watch them, you can't imagine it......"
In the face of the first mate's complaints, Durin pulled out a ten-dollar bill and stuffed it into his breast pocket, then tilted his head slightly and asked with a smile, "What did you just say?"
A bright smile suddenly appeared on the first mate's face, and he even wanted to touch Savi's head, but unfortunately he was dodged, "I've never seen such a lively child, really, very good, I hope to receive you and these awesome guys next time!"
Durin raised his hand and grasped the round hat slightly, and left the shore like a child king, surrounded by a group of half-grown young men. Everything here was a fresh treat for the little ones, and there were eleven people in total, three boys and three girls in addition to the five members of Savita's stormtroopers.
"I think you must have made a very deep impression on the first mate, tell me what you did?", the smile on Durin's face never stopped, and he could only smile so sincerely when he was with this group of familiar people.
Savi was a little embarrassed, but the little black hurriedly said, "It's the first time we've taken such a big ship, we must see it everywhere, that first mate and the other crew members are really not good people, and we are not allowed to go in many places! They are so bad!", some of the friends also nodded, but it made Durin feel that he couldn't laugh or cry.
If it was really just that, the first mate almost said that he would not take their passenger ship next time, but he could also understand it, after all, these children were only eleven, twelve or thirteen years old, and they were lively and active, and their desire to explore the outside world was the strongest. With Savi, the leader of the stormtroopers, these guys must be lawless.
Along the way, Durin took them around the docks before returning to the manor. It was the first time to see such a bustling city, and my friends could hardly use their eyes, and they were a little calmer when they arrived at the manor.
"You'll be living in the city from today onwards, so there's time for you to explore the city. It's a little different from Turnier, where politics is absolutely the only thing, but here the economy is the one that dominates, so everything we do next may not be the same as before. Duhrin also said this to remind these young lads and girls that there are different rules of survival and different rules of the game in different cities.
Although Dührin has not yet come into contact with the management of the city, he has gradually mastered some of the rules of life in the city, that is, the economy. The economy, or money, is the core of the city, and if you can make an outstanding contribution, even if it is a little excessive, the group of managers will not see it. This may be the difference between the cities run by the new party and the cities run by the old party, the new party is more focused on construction and development, while the old party wants everyone to listen to them.
"You guys have a night's rest today, go out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to familiarize yourself with the city, and I need you to do things in three days. After Durin finished speaking, José gave each of them two hundred dollars, and compared to Savi's composure, the other little ones seemed a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether to take this money, and if so, how much to take. They had never seen so much money put together in their lives, and the joy and panic in their hearts were inevitable.
Fortunately, there was Savi as an example, and he put a stack of twenty denomination bills into his pocket, making a good example for these friends.
Calm Illian was as perfect as she appeared to be, as if there was not a single place in the city that harbored dirt.
Instead of announcing the disbandment immediately after having dinner with his companions that night, Abion walked to the lawn in the park of the Fifth Ward and sat down. He looked at the five companions around him and said in a deep voice, "Our enemy is strong, he is rich, he is the upper echelon of Ilian, and to be honest, I am worried. I fear that some of my compatriots will not resist the temptation to work for him, and then disappear into the city, be sold into slavery in a remote place, or spend the rest of their lives in some cave!", he sighed worriedly, "We have to find a way, if not to get rid of him, so that he cannot come and persecute our people!"
Over the years, Abion has become the face of the Gualts in the city with his good image among the Gualts, and when all the unions or their companies need to be employed, the first thing they think of is Abion and the Gualts behind him. With Abion, these people's wages will not be too high, and they will be very obedient, and it can be said that the Gualts are the best low-level laborers in Illian City.
Hard-working and honest duty made the Gualt laborers very popular, and Abion took the opportunity to make a lot of money. Abion already had enough savings to buy a house in the 4th arrondissement to get out of the city's lowest status, but he didn't, knowing full well that if he left here, it would mean that he would lose everything. He lives not for how much profit he gets, but for the fair and just treatment of the Guartes around him!
He really thinks so, but the guy named Durin is going to ruin it all, and he won't let Durin get his wish.
Someone asked curiously, "Why don't you call the police?" If we have solid evidence, we can call the police and arrest him, and the big people in the city will send him to the court to wait for the law." ”
The corners of Abion's eyes twitched, but fortunately, the darkness covered the change in his expression, "Call the police? That's impossible! He's a rich man, do you think the police would offend a rich man for us penniless poor guys? Even if they had evidence, Durin would have a way to destroy it, so there was no need to call the police or anything, it wouldn't be useful to him." ”
"Now we can't do anything with him, so let's unite and let all of us know that it's an evil executioner," Abyan said. I also have an idea, which may not be very mature......", his gaze swept over the faces of his companions, "do you know the revolutionary army and their progressive party? This is a good hint, even a group of the revolutionary army can form a party that is recognized by society and the empire, so why can't we, the Guartes, who have many compatriots, form a party?"
"A party that has always fought for the right to exist and equal treatment of the Guartes will fight for the interests of the Gualts for the rest of their lives!", he waved his fist vigorously, "If I can, I plan to be the first initiator, what about you? Would you like to join in this great cause?"
