273. Tiny Storm
There are some situations that have not been introduced in Bam's words before, so I will add a little here.
The city of Siveri is located in the center of the entire Asian Union, and is the largest island city except for Yanjing City, where the naval headquarters is located. It doesn't have much of a strong coastal defense force on its own, in fact, it doesn't need it, if the deep sea can hit here, it means that the entire Asian Union has been completely finished.
On this island, there was no admiral to guard the town and administer it, but there was an autonomous council composed of 13 representatives elected by merchants and the naval command (3 of the command officers). On the basis of no further violation of national secession, endangering public order and contempt for human rights, a high degree of autonomy is practiced in the area of Siviri.
In other words, federal law does not apply here.
It's a paradise for the rich, with more entertainment than you can imagine, and the city that never sleeps.
It's just that everywhere, where there is light, there must be shadows, and where the light is stronger, the deeper the darkness hidden behind it.
Yuan Yi has not only heard about the prosperity of Severi, but also heard a lot of negative information about Sevilli, because the lax laws and preferential treatment of the rich have made it a hotbed for the privileged class and criminals, but there is a gorgeous exterior to cover up, and the rotten stench inside is only covered.
In general, Yuan Yi doesn't have much affection for the city's disease, but he won't be naΓ―ve enough to reject it because he doesn't like it. Yuan Yi when he was a teenager could indeed be jealous and hateful, but now he also understands that people are such things, once they want to climb up, they need to expand their social circle, and it is impossible to expand their social circle without being involved in right and wrong, as long as they do not exceed their own bottom line, even if they can't be in the same stream, Yuan Yi now knows that he can turn a blind eye.
Soon, Bam's carriage was driving into the inner city.
How to say it, so far Yuan Yi has been to a lot of places, not to mention Yanjing City, which has been staying since childhood, even the port of Murizak, which is known as a trade port, is a small thing compared to here, the wide street that can accommodate seven carriages in parallel, and the high-rise buildings that look up into the sky make people feel as if they have entered the city of giants, and all kinds of richly decorated archways and sculptures are displayed to the tourists who pass by here as if they are showing off their financial resources.
Look at the people of this city, everyone is well-dressed, that kind of ragged human beings are extinct in this place, not that there are no poor people in Severi, but this place in the inner city refuses to enter those poor and guys of unknown origin, you can think of it as some kind of rich area, you need identification to enter here, there are many people who are desperate for such a certificate, of course, these are digressions.
Since it is a rich area, there are rules for the rich, and those who dress indecently or behave decently are not welcome here, but Bam also added later: "But as long as you have enough money, any rule can be rewritten for you." β
"I can roughly imagine what kind of place this is." Yuan Yi said.
Bam smiled at this, and he turned his head to look out the window again: "Oh, we're lucky, the snow is only starting to fall now." β
As he said, there were fluffy snowflakes outside, and it looked like snowdrifts were gathering soon.
"How long are we left?"
"Now that we're in the city, it's not far, five to 10 minutes at most." Bam replied.
"Hopefully they won't be disappointed by a visit from a leopard."
"How could it be, they invited Your Excellency Yuan Yi to come here because of their intentions, and they have a request for us, so naturally they have some preparations, maybe they are overprepared." Bam whispered a hint to Yuan Yi.
"Oh, no wonder you told me to bring my female companion here."
"That's it." Bam was also a little more serious at this time, Yuan Yi's temper was quite clear because he had been with him for so long, and for those businessmen, he knew even more clearly, although he had already told him that Yuan Yi didn't like exaggerated things, so let them not make too exaggerated things, but what would those people with excellent face do, who knows: "There are four main things to talk about this time, and their origins are not small, Kapetsky controls the timber business of the Asian League, in this island era, Timber has always been a scarce resource for BAA, but it is an indispensable resource for our suspended island plan, we must take him, fortunately he is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, and he has a good personal relationship with me, as long as His Excellency Yuan Yi gives him more face in front of others, it will be no problem. β
Yuan Yi nodded.
"The second one is called Mastan, he is the largest arms dealer in the Asian Alliance, and he has a close relationship with the top level of the naval command, this time I came here, I want to befriend Your Excellency, we don't have much interest in him for the time being, but try not to make enemies with him."
Yuan Yi continued to nod.
"The third one is called Jade."
"The one who gave you the Polar Sun Bird's egg."
"That's right, Your Excellency Yuan Yi has a really good memory, this Jia De is a rich party, he does a lot of business, and he has great ambitions for foreign sea resources, I must say that his channel is very useful for our plan to suspend the island."
"I see, I'll have a good conversation with him."
"As for the last remaining one, his name is Wang Xin, he is not a businessman."
"Not a businessman?" Yuan Yi couldn't help but narrow his eyes when he heard this: "Does he have anything special to do with this Siviri?" β
"Your Excellency guessed right, this person is the host of this banquet, and he is also the secret controller of Siviri, it is okay to say that he is a businessman, but the business he does is not an ordinary business, the things he buys and sells are channels, connections and favors."
"Why do I feel something isn't right?" Yuan Yi touched his nose: "Should I bring a saber in, it feels like a Hongmen banquet?" β
"Hahaha, I don't believe it, there are still people in this world that His Excellency Yuan Yi is afraid of."
"I'm not omnipotent."
"Don't worry, this time those people are all for visible interests, it's too late for us to slap up, they won't easily turn their faces with us, and if they really fall out......"
"Falling out?" Yuan Yi asked tentatively.
Bam smiled and didn't continue.
Speaking of which, how could this shrewd guy not have a counterbalance move, thinking about it this way, Yuan Yi was much more relieved, but he still touched the elastic dagger hidden in the trouser tube of his suit, and his little life was most relieved in his own hands.
Originally, there was nothing to say about this way, but at this time, a violent neighing sound sounded in the carriage outside, and the whole carriage shook uncontrollably.
For a while, Pinghai, who was not sitting firmly, suddenly threw himself into the arms of Yuan Yi who was sitting on the opposite seat, and Bam's head slammed against the wall of the car, making a muffled sound.
After a while, the car stopped. (To be continued.) )
