By the end of the 20th century, large-scale criminal organizations in Britain had become virtually extinct.

In their place are lined up with street gangs.

Most of these gangs are composed of left-behind children and low-crime children in the same street or community, with members ranging in age from 10 to 30, with a number of between 20 and 30 people, mainly living on robbery, stealing, and collecting protection money.

But a few will eventually evolve into organized crime groups.

However, it does not call itself a "mafia", but a "business".

In addition to normal criminal behavior, it is often formalized and laundered, investing in real industries, bribing parliamentarians, and controlling neighborhoods......

The Shelby family and the Jacks are examples of this.

However, under the control of Ringo, the Shelby family quickly abandoned crime after the start-up, and even took the initiative to maintain order in the region, at most by unscrupulous means in normal business interactions.

This is not the case with the Jacks, as the name suggests, they still maintain a lot of criminal behavior, because the Eldington and Junton regions controlled by Shelby are adjacent to Tyburn and Stockland Green, so they covet the newly rising Shelby.

There have been dozens of frictions between the two sides.

It's usually the Jack gang that stirs up trouble.

And now, it is estimated that he got the news that Ringo wants to take a stake in Kent Department Store, so he is ready to come over and intervene, anyway, it is a bid, even if they can't get it, they will definitely be harassed at a high price.

But for Kent department store supermarket Ringo is a must.

Originally, he planned to slowly encroach on the Jack Gang, but now that he had the means of wizards, Ringo decided to never suffer from it.

He was not willing to kill.

But there is no shortage of means in the world that are more useful than killing.

……

Bar.

The security guard stopped an elementary school student who wanted to get in: "Hey, little ghost, this is not the place for you?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'll borrow the toilet."

"You can follow me!"

The elementary school students were jumping slightly with a crying voice, obviously a little unbearable.

"It's really troublesome...... the security guard cursed in a low voice, pointing in the direction, "the toilet is there, you only have five minutes, if you don't come out in five minutes, you're ready to get beaten......

"Thank you!"

Elementary school students immediately rushed in.

On the way, a wave of people drinking seemed to be unbearable, paused, and then went straight to the toilet.

At the same time, several drunkards fell asleep one after another, as if they were drunk, and after a while they were taken away by the "men" who were on guard outside......

……

- "Alaho Cave Open"

In the dark.

A small figure walked into the villa, and the pet dog inside seemed to smell a strange smell, purring in his throat and just wanted to bark, but he hit a gray smoke head-on.

The next moment, the dog fell straight on the lawn.

The figure walked into the house.

Listening to the flow of water in the bathroom and the sound of women humming, he turned over to the master bedroom and slowly pushed it open, and a man inside was reading a magazine, and he said:

"Honey, are you in heat today? It only took ten minutes to wash......"

- "All Petrochemicals"

Syllable!

A Playboy magazine falls out of bed.

"Let's go inside." The little figure who came out said, "Leave the woman in the bath alone. ”

……

"Oh...... Bad Jack ...... It's only half past four, what are you doing so early? Come on...... Sleep a little longer......"

A bald man in his thirties pushes away his lover's entanglement.

Yawned: "I can't sleep anymore, I have to go home, I just coaxed Sophie a few days ago, promised her to pick up her son to piano lessons every day, if she doesn't go home today, she will get divorced!" ”

He got out of bed sleepy-eyed.

I don't brush my teeth either.

Just took a simple shower, drove home, and only stopped after arriving at the door of the high-end villa, looking at the quiet yard and breathing a sigh ......of relief: "Fortunately, I caught up, it seems that they are still sleeping."

Click.

He pushed the door open and entered.

But he was soon stunned and stared at the strange elementary school student with black hair and black eyes on the sofa:

"You are?"

"My name is Ringo, and I'm a friend of Albert's Piano Lessons."

"Oh, there's Albert's dad, and I'm in charge of transporting you to piano lessons...... What about Albert? ”

"I'm still sleeping."

"Still sleeping? This bastard! Sophie is too pampering of her! ”

"Don't blame Albert, it's too early...... Mr. Maidington, has he been busy all night on business? It should be sleepy, right? Why don't you get some sleep? ”

"I don't have to ......"

"Don't force yourself, Mr. Meddington—"all petrified"

Syllable!

Jack Middington fell to the ground.

Ringo walked up to him and looked at him condescendingly: "Let's sleep, Jack will help me take care of you." ”

……

9:40 a.m.

The corporate headquarters of the Kent Department Store supermarket.

Bidding meeting.

It was a large conference room, and Wynne Kent, the founder of the department store, sat at the guest of honor, looking at the few attendees below, a little restless.

In particular, there was also a muscular man of nearly two meters among the participants.

Sit in a small chair.

One long leg lifted up and occupied the three chairs next to him, one arm propped up his chin, and the other hand was playing with his watch boringly.

From time to time, it looks up.

He looked at himself with a brutal and aggressive gaze.

Wynne's goosebumps are up!

Especially with the arrival of the start time of the bidding meeting, the muscular man's eyes became more and more cold, and he had a strange smile on his face, as if he had seen through the panic in Wynne's heart, and suddenly, he knocked on the table hard: "It's time, Boss Kent, isn't it time to start?" ”

This one was very hard.

There was a dull loud "bang" from the entire conference table, startling all the participants, including Wynne.

One by one, they shivered slightly.

But he didn't dare to look directly at the big guy.

But as the host and the shareholder of the department store, Wynne can only bite the bullet: "Mr. Shelby, it seems that there are still people who haven't come......"

"Oh?"

"It's Mr. Jack Maiddington of Eldington."

"Hehe......"

The big man lit a cigar and was filled with smoke, but he stopped talking, freezing the huge conference room.

Wynne breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought that the other party was frightened when he heard that the sworn enemy who was pressing on him was also coming.

But when he looked at the scene, he found that everyone still had a straight face, and even their eyes had changed, some sympathetic, some gloating......

Don't?

Wynne was shocked.

The next moment.

He heard someone say, "Don't wait, Mr. Kent, there won't be any more Mr. Jack Meddington of Eldington from now on......"

"The Jacks are gone."

"Mr. Shelby is angry that you know that you secretly told Mydington about Shelby's participation in the bidding, but he is a principled man and is willing to give you a chance, please don't go further down the wrong path......"

"Kent, it's time for the bidding to begin!"

Wynne is like falling into an ice cave.

At this moment, he finally knew the reason why there were so few participants, and the reason why everyone's eyes were strange, and it turned out that his intention to contact the biggest bidder's rival in order to sell at a high price had been seen......

"Bidding, bidding will begin." His face was bitter.

But the huge Mr. Shelby, on the other hand, smiled widely, evilly, and still oppressively, and raised his hand: "8.31p." ”

"Mr. Sam Shelby is bidding 8.31p per share, is there anything else to bid?"

No one raised their signs.

"Is there anything else to bid?"

No one raised their signs.

"And ...... To bid...... Bidding? ”

No one raised their signs.

"8.31p per share, deal." Kent wiped the cold sweat from his palms, and his heart was infinitely annoyed, this price was only 0.01 pence more than the selling price, he was simply miserable, but even so, he still had to squeeze out a smile and congratulate the other party, "Congratulations to Mr. Shelby." ”

Boom la la la...... Warm applause resounded throughout the audience.

Everyone stood up.

With a heartfelt smile, I congratulated him from the bottom of my heart: "Congratulations to Mr. Shelby......"

Sam retracted his aggressive gaze.

A change of character.

He seemed to become polite again—if you ignore the muscles under the suit—he replied one by one: "Thank you, thank you, I believe that the development of Kent will get better and better, and I hope you will come to Kent Department Store more to shop, and I will give you coupons......"

"Of course, friends in the Eldington and Junton areas don't need to worry, at most two months, Kent department stores will open over......"
