Chapter 277: The Wind is Light
Manhattan, New York City.
In a Cadillac, Alex sat in the back of the car and thought.
Since the last time Walt? After the defeat of the group of vampires at Disney, the forces besieging the Carpenter family suddenly retreated, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the computer market, supermarket field, comic book market, electrical field, airlines and other aspects of the situation has changed dramatically.
Among them, IBM and General Electric, which have always been at a standstill with CPT, have also withdrawn, especially IBM, and they specially sent people over to release goodwill to the Carpenter family.
The Watson family wants to be a partner with the Carpenters! The blue giant bowed its noble head.
In other words, these old family consortia have recognized the status of the Carpenter family and no longer regard them as nouveau riche with shit luck.
In the face of this change, the Carpenter couple were naturally overjoyed, they had no idea what happened during the Daoist period, and they actually made these families and consortia change their positions and attitudes.
At this time, the Carpenter family was completely under Alex's control, and he was also a little surprised by these changes, in his opinion, the other party had not yet reached the end of the mountain. If you insist on fighting, it is still difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.
"Is this what it's called a compromise?" Alex said to himself: "If the cost of winning is too great, then simply give up some of the benefits, so as not to cause both sides to lose." ”
Alex can choose to compromise or not to compromise.
But if you don't compromise, you'll have to deal with that again. I'm afraid that by then, it will really be the enemy of the whole world.
If there were no so-called mysterious organizations in this world, and there were no masterminds behind the world, Alex would gladly accept this compromise. But it is precisely because of the intricate organizational power behind him that Alex can't easily accept the olive branch handed by the other party.
He didn't know if it was a real olive branch or a dagger that had been stabbed in secret.
"Alas! It's a real headache, there is not enough information to analyze the real intentions of the other party! ”
Alex rubbed his temples, and there was a dull ache in the place. This is the result of recent overuse of power.
After rescuing Jannis, he discovers that he has been transformed into a vampire and is completely unable to restore his human body. In the following period. There has been a huge change in Janis.
The first is that her rough, burnt skin has become delicate and fair. The second is that her face shape and figure have also changed drastically, just like going to the hospital for plastic surgery. The handsome, aristocratic characteristics of a vampire gradually emerged in her, changing her completely from the inside out.
"What's going on?"
Alex was a little surprised by this, after all, he had seen other vampires as well. Walt, for example? Disney: Their changes are not so prominent.
Maybe it's Janis who has a certain trait in his own right. After becoming a vampire, this inner thing is completely activated. So much has changed from the inside out.
Either way, Janis couldn't be seen in front of people in his current form. With Alex's help, she was officially identified as a missing person. Since then, Janis has become a member of the Dark World.
A lot of things have happened recently, and it is not only the Carpenter family that has been affected, but also the Watson family, who is at the helm of IBM, has also generated many problems, the biggest of which is the conflict between Watson Jr. and Watson Sr.
As the president of IBM, Watson Jr. was puzzled by a decision made by his father, Watson Sr. Since he took the helm of the big ship IBM, this is the first time that Watson Sr. has directly intervened.
"Why do you want to stop the siege of CPT companies? Now in the computer market, we have taken back half of the share, and in the electronic and electrical market, General Electric is also very strong. As long as it continues, the Carpenter family won't last long, we ......"
Little Watson's words were quickly interrupted, and in the face of his son's questioning, Old Watson said lightly: "Sticking to it won't lead to any good results!" After the Ark company launched the personal PC computer, we at IBM have lost the opportunity......"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Watson Jr. will not be persuaded by such a reason, and now the PC is indeed hot, but in the traditional computer market, the annual sales of PCs are completely less than the sales of IBM in a month.
Perhaps the market share of PCs will become a major part of the computer market in the future, but it will take many years, and Watson Jr. has also considered continuing to follow up the PC market, but has not yet started to act, because the proportion of the PC market is too small.
Old Watson sighed, and had no choice but to say: "There are some things in this world, and there are many things that you can't understand. You'll be able to understand when you have the opportunity later. ”
Watson Jr. suddenly remembered that General Electric had come to join forces with IBM for no reason to deal with the Carpenter family. At the same time, the Carpenter family's companies were under siege from other companies, and when you think about it, it's all too strange.
Maybe those families have some new ideas! Little Watson had no choice but to guess.
This happened not only to the Watson family, but also to other companies, families, and consortia. In the face of this change, many people are stunned and do not know what major events have happened.
The big event is actually quite simple, Carpenter's family is reunited. The Carpenter siblings' grandparents are home!
Faced with his parents who have been gone for many years, Bart? Carpenter was the most unhappy of all. As for the Carpenter siblings and Angel, they were surprised and delighted, followed by some excitement.
For Alex, the grandparents have only heard of it, and it is rare to receive a call even during the New Year's holiday. Not to mention what to meet, this is really the first time for the Carpenter family to be reunited as a family!
When Alex saw the strong and majestic grandfather Jonathan and the red-faced and white-haired grandmother Angelina, the whole person felt a little petrified: "Is this the ancestor of the Carpenter family?" It feels like a strange feeling. ”
It's normal to feel that way!
Jonathan and Angelina first appeared in front of Richard, Karen and Angel together. Almost all of them thought that the other party was not a liar. Under Bart's explanation, they slowly accepted these two people who looked very unusual.
Jonathan's strong body may be explained by fitness, but Angelina's well-maintained girl-like appearance makes many people unable to understand and accept.
No matter how much Bart complained about his parents and how unhappy he was in his heart, he could never deny his blood relationship with Jonathan and Angelina.
"They're my parents, they've been like that since I've been sensible. You'll get used to it after watching it for a long time! ”
Bart's expression was as if he was constipated, and he looked very unhappy. When introducing his parents to his family, he still had a stinky face.
on this case. Jonathan was not surprised. He stepped forward and patted Bart on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You stupid son, you still look stupid after so many years!" ”
"Humph!" Bart snorted coldly: "Don't think about coming back and act as if nothing happened!" I remember when you left twenty years ago......"
Angelina shook her head secretly, knowing that Bart had lost that memory. I haven't recovered yet. They also thought that they had severed ties with Bart in this life. There will be no more intersections. What I didn't expect was that there would be a day together.
The person who contributed to today's result was none other than Alex? Carpenter!
Thanks to Alex's efforts, not only did the Carpenter family grow to its current size. And also came into contact with the truth of the world, the pyramid of the ruling class!
If the Carpenter family is just an ordinary family, it has nothing to do with Jonathan and Angelina. Perhaps when it reached the scale of five years ago, it had already hit an invisible ceiling, and there was no way to move forward.
There are many precedents for this, and many families will encounter all kinds of problems after they have developed to a certain extent. Gradually, the family roots were hollowed out, and control of the company was lost. A family that does a better job may be able to call the wind and rain in a certain field, but once it develops across borders, it will encounter various failures.
The Carpenter family didn't have such a problem, at least until a few months ago, it hadn't been under a decent siege, and a lot of that was due to the Jonathans being on top of it.
Alex was able to enter the sight of Freemasonry on the one hand, and because he was really good enough, and on the other hand, because of the Jonathans.
If it were replaced by Bart, it is estimated that Jonathan's husband and wife would like this stupid son to be able to live his life in peace like ordinary people. How dare you expect to put Batra in the circle of Freemasonry, for fear that if you are not careful, the Carpenter family will fall from the clouds, and the higher you climb, the worse you will fall.
Now the situation is different, with Alex's Carpenter family, it is enough to become such a behemoth as the Rockefellers. Even if the Jonathans are gone, Alex will be able to run the Carpenter family thriving.
One of the purposes of their return to New York was to make Alex a member of the Freemasonry!
After Alex met his grandparents, he seemed to understand a lot at once, and there were answers to things that he couldn't explain before. For example, Rockefeller's inexplicable help, the Tesla manuscript brought over by FBI Director Hoover, and the sudden crisis of the Carpenter family, etc.
From the first glance, Alex could see that Jonathan and Angelina's kung fu was definitely not weak. As for what state they have reached, they have to try it to know the way.
In front of his family, Alex naturally did not show any suspicious signs. But when no one else was present, he suddenly shot at Jonathan!
Punch it over! The cracked air rattled with whipping.
"Good time!"
Jonathan shouted, and didn't use a weapon, just fought Alex with his bare hands. The two of you go back and forth, fists and kicks are added, and the fight is crackling.
Angelina watched as their fighting figures grew faster and faster, and could almost only see two shadows turning around in the field. She knew that Alex was good, but she didn't expect it to be so powerful, which was already a rare kung fu master.
After all, Alex has never shown his kung fu skills in front of others, he usually acts as "Wang Long", and it is normal for Jonathan and his wife not to know.
After a while, Alex suddenly activated his ability to copy the puppet from his grandfather, when his hand was already on Jonathan's arm. When the power was activated, his head ached violently, as if he had been hit with a smack.
"Ouch!" Alex threw his head up and shouted.
Jonathan and Angelina were taken aback, especially Angelina, who quickly cut between the two and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?" Have you been beaten? ”
"I didn't hit him!" Jonathan said innocently.
"It hurts! Hurt! Hurt! ”
Alex naturally couldn't say that he used his abilities, and wanted to copy Jonathan's experience and skills, so he was inexplicably eaten up by his mental power.
"Aha!" Angelina is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and she understands at a glance: "Alex, did you use any special abilities?" Well, it looks like your talent is in terms of mental power, right? ”
"Huh?" Alex didn't expect his small movements to be seen through.
Jonathan also immediately understood: "You must have used your mental power to sneak attack me when you were fighting, right?" ”
"Uh...... How did you know that I had used my spiritual power? ”
Seeing that he couldn't get past it, Alex had no choice but to be vague, deliberately mixing his mental space ability with the mental power that the other party said. He didn't believe that the other party could guess that his ability was to be able to replicate the mental space of the puppet.
The Jonathans were both angry and amused, Angelina knocked on Eric's head and said, "Do you know that it is very dangerous to rashly use mental power to sneak attack without knowing the details of the other party?" ”
"Dangerous? How dangerous is it? ”
"It's as dangerous as your head hitting someone else's fist! If someone else's fist is an iron fist, won't your head be hit and your head will bleed? ”
Angelina scolded unceremoniously, thinking that Alex was too reckless, and this approach was too much, and he used mental power to sneak attack when he was fighting with his own people, and if something unexpected happened, it would not be good for anyone to be injured.
For the lessons of his elders, Alex had no choice but to promise that he found that his abilities were not omnipotent, and that there would always be various problems when dealing with certain people. (To be continued......)
