Chapter 498: Contact [1]
When Nasha saw Mr. John, Mr. John's complexion looked very bad, he could feel that his life was about to come to an end, and the only thing he couldn't let go of at this time was Nasha.
It's really ridiculous to say, his most rebellious son ended up being his most important person, and his favorite son ended up wanting to kill him, and reality taught him an absurd lesson, full of irony. John shook his head first, a smile appeared on his withered face, his face was already slightly darkened, this was a local metabolic arrest, which made his smile very ugly.
"Grandpa......", Nasha squatted in front of Mr. John with a clenched lip, and gently rested her head on Mr. John's knees, and the old man's eyes flashed too many incomprehensible complex lights. His hand trembled and gently stroked Nasha's head, and he could no longer feel the softness of his hair, as if it were ...... Nothing special felt about it.
"The man who killed your father is Arthur, he will soon be punished as he deserves, I have already spoken to the lawyer, and the will will will be changed. When I die, 50 percent of the family will go to you, and the remaining 50 percent will go to my brothers and sisters, and we will be one family anyway. The remaining thirty-five percent will be donated to the Empire to form a 'John George Foundation', which is why I asked you to come in person. ”
The old man's mouth was a little dry after saying so much, and he got a little water from Nasha for him, moistened his lips and did not drink it. The doctor told him that his body was failing at a very alarming rate, which may have something to do with the severe mental stimulation he had received for a short period of time. Part of the circulatory system has ruptured due to explosive hypertension, causing congestion in some places and losing nutrients in some places.
From partial failure to overall failure, he couldn't hold on much longer. Trying to save him at this time is no longer something that human beings can accomplish, unless God sends down a gift.
So now he doesn't want to eat, he even has to drink less water, so he can sustain his life. Eating or drinking water can cause local blood to collect, which is a heavy burden on John's body now.
Nasha wanted to say something, but John didn't give her this chance, and raised his hand to stop her, "I have already arranged for someone to do it on the Foundation's side, you will be the first chairman, as for the future, if you don't have the ability to continue to control the Foundation, you will be named honorary chairman, and you can still have a little something." The specific operation of this foundation has to do with the journalism I have done all my life, and you can ask my lawyer. ”
"Your father is dead, and it looks like I won't last long, Arthur will definitely go to jail, and you're the last direct member of the family. Don't take your grandparents, they're all in your pocket's money. ”
"We have lost the newspaper industry, and it is difficult for the newspaper industry to have a giant like us in the future, under the push and control of the cabinet and certain people. In the face of those sporadic profits, which require more time and more money and cannot do what we want, the traditional newspaper industry can give up. ”
"You didn't take back your shares and people in the Imperial Star, did you?", Nasha wiped her tears and nodded quietly, John said with satisfaction: "Very good, it will be the era of this new medium in the future, I don't want to admit it, but the times have left us behind." When you go back, talk to Durin about it, if you can buy the Imperial Star, it's best, if you can't buy it, try to increase your shareholding. ”
"In the future, the tide of public opinion will shift from newspapers to this visual medium. John sighed, perhaps afraid that Nasha would not understand or understand, and he did not hide the slightest secret, and directly told her the reason, "Because at least thirty percent of the people in the entire empire have not gone to school, and they cannot read the newspaper, but they can watch the people in that little thing read the news to them." ”
"As the empire's economy recovers, I believe it won't be a few years before this kind of thing becomes widespread ......"
John and Nasha talked for more than two hours, and he confessed everything that came to his mind until he could no longer sit still and was a little limp in his wheelchair.
That evening, outside the city hall of the imperial capital, Mr. John, who was in a wheelchair, personally announced to the tens of thousands of people in the square that he had confessed all the charges against him, and he bowed his head to express deep repentance, and sincerely apologized to those who had been hurt by him.......
The George family.
Finished!
The demise of an industry trust will always attract more attention than unofficially confirmed news, and in such a situation, a small group of people choose to shut up, and the public believes the "truth".
The city of Otis is still so popular that there are queues in many places, and people's acceptance of the token is constantly increasing.
Durin has brought great changes to the city, and when the two railroads are repaired, the city of Otis will completely replace Namirinders and overtake the imperial capital economically as the brightest star of the empire.
The "initiator" of all this is basking in the sun and chatting with Mr. Kersma, who is eight months old and in very good health, and can already walk on his own. Mr. Kersma said that Mr. Kersma was up to him, and that he was eight or nine months old and could walk on his own, and by the way despised Durin for a wave, saying that he could not walk on his own until he was more than a year old. As to whether what Mr. Kersma said was true, it was clear from Mrs. Kersma's laughter that he might have lied.
However, Durin did not expose Mr. Kersma's little lies, he has been climbing up the outside in the past few years, and the memories in the dream have continued to coincide, and the person has become more mature.
Mr. Kersma is a very face-loving person, and Durin did not want a phone call full of affection to turn into a quarrel, so he complimented Mr. Kersma very obediently, and expressed a little regret for himself. Mrs. Kersma on the other side of the line laughed louder, and Mr. Kersma snorted angrily before kicking his wife out of the mayor's office.
When Mr. Kersma was alone in the room, he whispered, "Your unmarried wife may be pregnant again." ”
After Mr. Kerma had kidnapped Mr. Kersma, he had left two people to watch, and although Durin did not say anything, he always felt that he should do things decently and not leave a voice for others. Alyssa went to Otis once and he knew it, and after coming back, she began to live a normal life, working, going to work, and occasionally going out with her colleagues, not much different from normal people.
But there was something else in the man's belly that could not be hidden, and when the man on the other side told Mr. Kersma that he might have another grandchild, the old man walked into his studio with a straight face, and when he closed the door, he could not help laughing.
He was now very happy that he had informed Dohrin that he was just giving him a vaccination, and that the second Mr. or Ms. Kersma Jr. would be born in the middle of next year.
He was not very kind to the children of Doolin, but he was very kind to the grandchildren, and while he was talking to Doolin about the fact that Mr. Kersma Jr. was running around with one of other people's chickens outside the office, he asked a question, "When will you finish what I told you last time?"
Durin touched his chin, "You mean Memnon about that?"
"Yes, Memnon. "He almost hurt a member of our family, and whoever he is, he has to pay the price!" ”
Mr. Kersma's life was legendary, and when he was younger, the Duke of the Empire, though no longer had the power to establish a principality, was still a mountain to look up to among the nobility of the Empire. Rich, powerful, connected, and armed, it can be said that his territory is his country, but it doesn't have an official name. But such a duke, whom even the royal family had to respect, died under the twin guns of Mr. Kersma.
If the current official position is used as a reference standard, it should almost be a figure of Mags's level.
Mr. Kersma has never obeyed the law in his life, so he doesn't take the law seriously.
During, who had heard the word "family" from his mouth, suddenly felt a little dazed, and he remembered something from his childhood, when the townspeople had used the word family for the Quex family more than ten years ago, and Mr. Kerma had accepted the word for it. When he was a child, Durin might have felt honored, but when he was older, he felt a little shameful.
It's just a peasant family in the countryside, isn't it too exaggerated to use the word family.
Now it seems that this is not an exaggeration, this is the truth.
The dignity of the family does not tolerate any offense, and the members of the family do not allow anyone to be harmed, not even a threat.
Durin didn't speak for a while, and Mr. Kersma was a little angry, "I don't care, I asked the postman to send you something, okay, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I hung up the phone." ”
When Durin reacted, there was no sound in the earpiece, he shook his head amusedly, his father has not changed much from before, mentality, habits, this is actually a good thing.
Then he began to wait with peace of mind for what Mr. Kersma had given him, and he was very curious about what it was.
I waited for more than a month later.
