Chapter 777: Repayment (Medium)
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Qun had just returned from the district power office, and he was leisurely holding an automatic sprinkler and watering the plants on the side of the courtyard wall.
More than a dozen servants in the family are busy with their own work, at this time Wu Qun's face is full of smiles, last night the family was finally reunited, and now the work in the city is that their family of three is less and more separated, last night I seriously explained to my wife, and finally got my wife's understanding.
"Master, you seem to be in a good mood today, is there anything good happening?"
A maid asked, Wu Qun shook his head, and glanced at a decorative black ring around her neck, this ring was not decorative, but it looked like it was in the eyes of others, and there were some folds around the ring, which was the mark of a slave.
The problem of slaves has been around for a long time, from a long time ago, when Wu Qun was just a rookie councilor, and since the official implementation of the civic hierarchy, slaves have appeared.
Many unscrupulous businessmen will deliberately look for some men and women with good appearance and temperament, most of them are difficult to find suitable jobs for a while after the decline in citizenship rank, and it may not be too rampant at first.
However, as more and more people were expelled after the citizenship level was zero, many desperate people could only come to the upper class to be slaves for a year or two, while many companies in the middle and lower classes had many vacant temporary positions, and most of these people were slaves, nominally working in these companies, but in fact only going to the upper class to be slaves.
A slave with better quality is not cheap, the price starts at 5000, and many intermediaries can get 30% or more of the slaves, Wu Qun's family has a total of 5 slaves, and the price is 6000 a month.
Most slaves will sign a contract for 1 year, which is the minimum requirement, and as a slave to the upper class of many family services, in addition to the daily work of the service, but also need to give the master some special services, Wu Qun knows many people have a very perverted hobby, but he knows that he knows, but he has never participated, because he is not interested, and these slaves in his eyes, are just a group of people who can't survive, in order to hold the civic hierarchy has to do it.
The slave market is a relatively large and complex underground trading network, and there have been many big moves in the past few years, but as a slave, the people who are slaves insist that they come to the upper class to work as domestic servants through some intermediary companies in the middle and lower classes, because no one is a fool, and once they are caught by the bureau, the civic rank and money that they have finally exchanged for blood and tears will come to naught.
And the reason why Wu Qun bought slaves was also in the case of half-push and half-give, after all, these slaves had a good working ability and worked very hard to do housework.
"Are you ready?"
Wu Qun asked, the servants nodded one after another, Wu Qun glanced at the pastries that had been placed in the backyard, Wu Qun was still waiting for someone, he came back early because he received a contact from the person who was waiting, so he came back early.
Looking at the 5 slaves in the family, Wu Qun sighed, he planned to dismiss them after this year, after all, he didn't want to make trouble, he had already heard that Alpha had been to District 10, which was the most rampant place for slaves in the whole city, and the guys who lived there were all middle class, this group of people had spare money in their pockets, and they didn't have much pursuit, eating, drinking and having fun was something that this group of guys liked very much.
Wu Qun once persuaded this group of guys to let them be more restrained, but the bad habits they had cultivated for so many years were impossible to change, and they relied on themselves as the backbone of the city, and they didn't dare to touch them, plus there was no evidence.
But Wu Qun knows very well that this is just their self-comfort, and soon the Operations Section will take action, after all, now that the Operations Section has overpowered the parliamentarians, it is difficult for the parliamentarian faction to raise its head in a short period of time, and everyone knows that the evidence of the black market transaction in the hands of the Operations Section is very simple to let them die.
At this juncture, there will be no serious infighting for the time being, but the two giant bills can only be handled by the acting department, and the parliamentarians have also shut up.
"Just fire them next month."
Wu Qun muttered, at this time he had already seen some servants standing aside respectfully, and after a while, Chen Qiao walked in with a cane, wearing an inconspicuous gray suit and a round hat.
"Welcome."
Chen Qiao nodded, and immediately the servants around him dispersed, and Wu Qun personally poured a cup of tea for Chen Qiao.
"Lao Chen, what's so anxious?"
"The Phoebus family."
Wu Qun had already expected that this was Chen Qiao's purpose in coming to him, for the Phoebus's business.
"They're half dead, is there anything wrong?"
Chen Qiao took a sip of tea and stared at Wu Qun, he knew very well that this guy who was oily and smooth on the surface thought very deeply inside, and was very treacherous and cunning.
"Don't mention what you knowingly asked, Xiao Wu."
Wu Qun smiled and shook his head helplessly.
"It's true that it's not an accident that the three secretaries of the Operations Section went to the Phoebus family's resort manor for vacation this time, but they shouldn't have any impact on you!"
Chen Qiao shook his head.
"What are we going to do if the Clerk uses them?"
Wu Qun immediately understood what Chen Qiao meant, Chen Qiao Group also has a lot of private take-off and landing companies, and now many private take-off and landing aircraft in the city are provided by them, and the cost of the take-off and landing machine and the car used by the two giant bills is a world of difference.
"Lao Chen, sometimes it's better to give the other party a way to live, after all, everyone has difficulties."
"We have submitted the transaction intent documents of the batch take-off and landing aircraft to the 6, 7, and 8 sections as early as possible, and we have been sucked hard by the acting section, do you want us to be silent?"
Wu Qun took a biscuit, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it with a click.
"So what do you want me to do?"
"Knowingly ask Xiao Wu."
Wu Qun nodded, picked up the tea and took a sip.
"You're asking me to get the guys in District 19 to do something, right?"
Chen Qiao nodded, and then showed a sinister smile.
"The Phoebus family has been in debt over the years, and their hotel estate seems to be very profitable, but in fact it is a lot of debts from the district authority, and the simple problem is that the debt of District 19 is cleared."
"It's really a vicious approach, this is tantamount to letting their family end up directly."
bang
Chen Qiao slammed the teacup on the table viciously.
"Don't be so angry, Lao Chen, how old are you?"
"Families that are behind the times, there's no need to be polite to them, is there?"
Wu Qun picked up a biscuit, bit it again, and then picked up his phone.
"I know, it's true, if they don't pay for it, they can use the manor's facilities to sell it off."
Chen Qiao nodded.
"Please, Xiao Wu, after all, at this juncture, if we retreat, they can't do whatever they want!"
Wu Qun hummed and pressed the phone.
.......
"Brother, do you think my little sister can succeed?"
Ronnie sighed as he sat comfortably in a room at Hotel 7, yawning and looking out the window at the bustling neighborhood.
"I hope it succeeds, but those three secretaries are weirdos, but the two section chiefs are also in our hotel, which is really a bit of a surprise."
The two brothers were a little struggling to settle down, the family business had fallen into a desperate situation and would soon go bankrupt, and being able to participate in these two proposals was their last choice, and over the years, their family's debts had become more and more indebted.
"I really don't understand, what grandpa thinks, I think he's old and confused."
Collison said, and Ronnie sighed.
"Grandpa felt that he could turn the tables, so he naturally continued to invest his money in the car."
"Let's be honest, brother, do you know how much our family owes?"
Ronnie looked at his brother suspiciously.
"I remember when I set up the account last year, it should have been a little more than 800 million."
Ronnie shook his head.
"At least 2 billion, a long time ago, our parents took some spare money from the family to go out to invest, but they wasted their money and invested in liquid food that is known as a steady profit, but they couldn't collect food residues at all, and the output was naturally small, unable to compete with the Sanlian company at that time, and the market launch for the middle and lower classes also failed completely, and at that time it owed more than 800 million."
Ronnie stood up in shock and walked quickly over to Collison who was lying on the bed.
"How do you know?"
"In June, you should be helping your parents, not here, when I was playing in the hotel, I saw my little sister crying that day, that day she and her grandfather went to the district office, when they went to the district office, they were fine, and they cried when they came back, so I asked, and the little sister was excited and said, we owe more than 1 billion to the councilors, and the 7 departments can't borrow money, so they can only borrow money from the district office."
Ronnie grabbed Collison by the tug.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Did you say it, brother?"
Ronnie's face became solemn, and the interest rate on borrowing money from the councilors is probably not ordinarily high, although their family's territory occupies half of the 19th district, but the 19th district is completely a resort area, and the number of tourists is very high, but almost all of the people who can come to their manor for vacation are some rich people, and ordinary people will not come.
Most of the tax revenue in the area every year is used to build a regional resort, and what Ronnie can't imagine is that Ronnie actually borrowed money from the councillors.
"When did it start?"
Ronnie asked, and Collison shook his head.
"Why don't you go and ask grandpa later, it's not that I can't understand grandpa's mood of wanting to win over the secretary, brother, you will come with me later, no matter what, it's better for us to hang around those three strange women, we have to seize the opportunity."
At this time, Locke, who was at the door of the warehouse in the northwest, trembled and held up the phone, Jean and Ran Zai had just left for a while.
"What do you mean, Councilor Zhou Ming!"
"Mr. Locke, I can't help it, your debts are more than three times your annual taxes, I'll come over myself later."
