Chapter 143: Lotus Castle

Music agent Toby saw Guan Hao say his name, which can be regarded as giving him face, and it can be regarded as making progress, and Toby is no longer chasing and fighting.

"Sorry, Toby, my friend! You say you know everything in M City, right? ”

"Uh-huh, yes, Mr. Guan!"

"Okay, Toby, please sit down, I guess you can ask about someone?"

"Mr. Guan, I can provide you with the information I know and I can share for free, and I can charge a consultation fee for others!"

"Toby, my friend, thank you for your generosity, if there is value I can pay."

"Mr. Guan, just kidding! I care about my relationship and friendship with you. Just ask! What information would you like to inquire about? ”

"Toby, I want to know about Anthony, the owner of this King's Bar!"

"Dear Tony, can you tell me about Anthony, the owner of the King's Bar?"

"Mr. Guan, the King's Bar is a bar with a long history and achievements, it is the most influential bar in the entire M City, it is the pride of the M City, of course, the people who own it are also the famous and powerful people in the M City, to be precise, the owner behind the King's Bar is a family, another ancient wealthy family in our M City: the John family. A family that immigrated here at the beginning of the establishment of M City, they immigrated from country S to country A more than 100 years ago, and they are a musical family and a big business owner. The family is known for running bars and music productions in M City. The current head of the family is Big John Thomas and the father of Anthony, the current manager of Kings' Bar. ”

"I see! Toby! Anything else? ”

"As far as I know, tomorrow Anthony will also be invited to Miss Lily's Barrel Opening, which means that Anthony is your strong competitor. But this time the John family is bound to win, you know? ”

Toby lowered his voice and took the initiative to come over and say, "Mr. Guan, according to the inside information I have got, the Jack family has a serious financial crisis, and if this crisis cannot be resolved quickly, everyone's favorite Jack Daniel's whiskey may be going bankrupt, do you know?" The John family has coveted this property for a long time, and I think the crisis of the Jack family is very suspenseful. ”

"Toby, do you know what's going on with the Jack family?"

"It is said that the eldest son of the Jack family, that is, Miss Lily's brother, Cage lost his gambling money and lost a lot of money."

"Then what does Lily's brother's loss have to do with Lily?" Guan Hao asked puzzled.

"Mr. Guan, you know what? The Jack family, as the largest family in M City, has always been strong over the second family, the John family, and the two families have been fighting openly and secretly for hundreds of years since the opening of M City. The annual open barrel festival is also a day for the two families to compete in the open, and it is also an important moment for the Jack family to choose a future husband for the adult girl of the family, Miss Lily has long been an adult, but she is unwilling to follow the tradition, because of the family's financial crisis, she has to come out to choose a future husband, in order to help the family solve financial problems, Miss Lily has to come out and even sacrifice her own happiness to solve the family's worries. ”

"I see!" Guan Hao instantly understood the reason, and his affection for Lily spontaneously arose.

Guan Hao was also born in a big family, he understands too well that the interests of the family are more important than everything, and the members of the family must dedicate everything to the family, Zhang Yuan is like this, He Lina in later generations is even more so, and the same is true of Lily now.

And the two major families in M City: the John family and the Jack family are like the rice in Suicheng, the Guan Zhang family and the Cao family in He Luo, fighting endlessly.

"It's so interesting, it seems that there are rivers and lakes where there are only people!" Guan Hao is relieved to think of this.

With sympathy for Lily, Guan Hao had an idea.

So, Guan Hao took out his Motorola mobile phone and the business card of the music agent Toby, and called according to the phone number on the business card.

"Dear Toby, this is my call, let's see you at Lotus Fort in Naxi Valley!"

"Okay, see you tomorrow!"

When Guan Hao knew that there would be a fierce "competition" with Anthony, the boss of the king, he originally wanted to show his gratitude to Anthony by Anthony sending wine, so he felt that there was no need to contact Anthony, because tomorrow the two of them would definitely reunite at the open barrel music festival site at Lotus Fort in Naxi Valley.

At that time, the two were rivals, and perhaps enemies.

Thinking of this, Guan Hao was inexplicably a little excited, at this time he was like a fighter in battle armor, with strength all over his body.

Really, it is endless fun to fight with the sky, endless fun with people, and endless fun with powerful people.

Guan Hao took Rook out of the noisy and noisy King's Bar, originally thinking that Anthony was a friend who had seen the market and handled problems with ease.

At night, the night is very charming, M city is located on the bank of a big river, there is no large-scale industry, all planting agriculture, no pollution, so the air is unusually good, and the registration of the starry sky is also very high.

Drinking a lot of wine, just came out of the noisy and noisy confined space in the somewhat stuffy King's Bar, breathing super fresh air and not needing to look up to see the bright stars in the distant sky, blown by the cool cold wind, Guan Hao felt very comfortable, but Rook was different, just drank whiskey in the King's Bar a little fierce, his stomach was not like Guan Hao's baptism of high spirits, today is a lot of high alcohol, it was already a little dizzy, and now it came out to be blown by the cold wind, Suddenly my stomach was turned upside down.

"Wow-wow-" Spit up!

Guan Hao hurriedly helped Luke, and Yunli patted him on the back, and Luke felt more comfortable.

M City is perhaps the most charming at this time, and the night is late and the moment when Beale Street truly belongs has just begun.

Pink neon lights flashed all the way, there were a lot of men and women ready to enter at the door of some bars, and of course there were many girls in BL staring at every pedestrian with seductive eyes, here as long as you have money, you can bring your favorite girl to the place where you live for a spring festival, such behavior is officially protected, just like the tulip kingdom is legal, only the girl needs to register.

Country A is a country with a union system, in fact, each state has its own characteristic industries in order to develop the economy, and some states have special legislation to stimulate consumption.

In essence, Beale Street is also the legal H-lamp district in Juwan State, Guan Hao helped Luke to wander around Beale Street unintentionally, and quickly took a taxi back to the hotel where he stayed to rest in the hurried night, and tomorrow he will go to Lotus Fort in Naxi Valley, they will face unknown challenges, Guan Hao should not take it lightly.

There was nothing to say all night, both of them were martial arts practitioners, and they were young, and when they woke up, they were completely like no one, Luke drank too much last night, and quickly apologized to Guan Hao when he got up in the morning.

The two of them ate and checked out, took a taxi to the Lotus Fort in the King Naxi Valley, where the king was parked, and drove away.

Juwan State is the southern state of country A, historically separated from the federal government, is a large number of black slave plantations, has always been the birthplace and important area of the civil rights movement of A, but also the focus of the alliance, although Juwan State is relatively backward in the overall economic strength, but because of its beautiful natural scenery and rich products and relatively enlightened and free atmosphere, it is very popular with immigrants and investors from other countries, Guan Hao has been to Juwan State in later generations, and there will be many wealthy businessmen from country C to invest in immigration in the future.

The geographical location of Juwan Prefecture is very good, it is a relatively warm state in the whole country A, surrounded by two major mountain ranges in the north and south, and there are three rivers flowing through the whole state, so the relatively warm climate and sufficient water resources make Juwan Prefecture have always been very developed in agriculture, and the cotton and tobacco here and beef and mutton are famous for their related products exported to many countries.

The so-called plantation model is that after the unification war of country A, the entire country A abolished the slavery system, but Juwan Prefecture retained the slavery system in disguise, because almost all the land in Juwan Prefecture was controlled by several large plantation owners, and the Juwan state government was unable to pry the stable structure of plantation owners, so it had to compromise and let the plantation owners completely abolish slavery and change to a lifelong employment system after 20 years.

Therefore, the pillar industries of Juwan State are controlled and operated by several large plantation owners, that is, big families, such as the Jack family of the whiskey king, the John family of the bar king, the Morgan family of the tobacco king, and the Carter family of the cotton king, etc., these families have their own characteristics of huge plantations, and the estates established on the basis of their plantations form modern small towns.

Naxi Valley is actually not a simple valley, it is the richest two rivers in Juwan Prefecture impact the plain, with vast grasslands and the best quality alpine pastures, if Juwan Prefecture is the pearl of country A, then Naxi Valley is the crown of this pearl, then Lotus Fort is the largest and most valuable of the many gems in the crown.

Lianhua Fort is the place where the Jack family lived, there was originally only an O-style castle, with the Jack family's business and population growing, many other buildings were built around the Lotus Fort, and later the Unification War of Country A broke out, Juwan State became independent from the Northern Federation, and then there was a war, Lotus Fort as a military fortress of the southern army existed, and later the war burned down the Lotus Fort, after the unification of the Jack family rebuilt the Lotus Fort, and on the basis of the original reinforcement of the Lotus Fort, Turning Lotus Fort into a small market town, the Jack family in order to better manage their huge and rich industry, in each location to build a decentralized market similar to Lotus Fort, over time slowly the small market developed into a town, like this, there are 12 towns in the Naxi Valley, and Lotus Fort is the largest and the economic and administrative center of the Naxi Valley.
