Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

January 1981, New York.

"Is this really our family's ancestral home?"

Standing in front of a dilapidated ruin, Clement Newman said in disbelief.

The Newman family is not actually a top-tier chaebol family in New York, but they are also a family of the first Citibank consortium. Although they are not as powerful as the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family and others, they are definitely very prestigious.

The ruins in front of them used to be the ancestral home of their Newman family and the permanent residence of those old guys.

Even though it's hard to believe, this is the truth.

Although New York is still the same New York, it is actually no longer the same New York.

The world is constantly changing, and no one knows what will happen next.

The descendants of the family tycoon, led by Clement Newman and others, spent two months and finally got a general grasp of the situation.

But it is just an estimate. In fact, the shares behind their companies are more dispersed.

At the end of January, John Morgan, Betley Rockefeller, August Davis, Clement Newman and others finally got together again.

"Fuck! My uncle is really too much. He relied on his seniority to boss me around. Then, a few days ago, he was killed. Now everyone in the family is wary of me and scolding me. God, how the hell do I have the power to do that?"

As soon as he arrived at the party, John Morgan couldn't help but burst into cursing. He felt very wronged.

You have to know that he just came back to New York to take charge, but in fact, the real people in charge are of course the old people of the Morgan family.

Just because John Morgan had a quarrel with his uncle over some disagreements on how to handle things, and then his uncle was killed, he became suspected.

But who doesn't know how strong he is?
As a result, the people of the Morgan family said that you, John, have tens of billions of dollars in funds. If you let a little bit slip through your fingers, you can buy many people to work for you. What's more, you went to the Somalia region.
Everyone knows very well what the Somali region is, although the place has now been renamed Yunlan City.

But a dog will always eat shit!
The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain that can never be moved no matter how hard you try.

Everyone thought that Yunlan City was Somalia, where pirates came from. Many of them had never been there, and of course they didn't think that the place had "reformed."

John Morgan really has no way to defend himself against this.

"You're lucky. Our family isn't very large, so I was directly chosen as the heir. Now, no matter where I go, I'm watched by a large group of people."

Clement Newman also said something, which immediately made August Davis feel the same way.

After chatting about their recent situation for a while, everyone started to discuss the topic of the day: whether or not to continue the war against Yunlan City.

At this time, Walter Dupont, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said:

"I don't care whether you do it or not, I will continue anyway."

It can be said that the DuPont family suffered the least losses in this crisis, because only two people died, and they were both elderly people who no longer cared about anything, so death was just death.

Moreover, the DuPont family is different from other families. Their family operates in a group-style, multi-branch system, and has gradually developed into a three-horse carriage system.

The core industry is DuPont, which involves businesses such as chemistry, materials science, and industrial bioscience. Its branches are also involved in industry, railways, petroleum, aviation, banking, military industry, food, etc.

Therefore, even if the DuPont family itself encountered a serious accident, the impact on the entire DuPont company would not be significant.

What's more, only two old people died, so Walter DuPont didn't benefit at all.

Under such circumstances, if he did not return to Yunlan City to continue digging deeper into Yunlan City, then his life would be destined to be mediocre.

Augustine Davis also echoed this, saying that he would also return to Yunlan City to continue his unfinished business.

"The most important thing is that Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, etc. have invested so much money in us. If we give up halfway, we will have to pay so much liquidated damages and interest, which I definitely cannot afford."

Seeing August Davis say this, everyone fell silent.

John Morgan said at this time, let’s go ahead!
So they all discussed how to balance this matter next.

After all, except Walter DuPont and Augustine David, no one else can leave Sam and go to Yunlan City for the time being.

So it seems that each side can only send representatives to Yunlan City to conduct remote control commands.

While John Morgan and others were busy discussing, Zhao Mancang was already sitting in the chairman's office of Aucma Company, listening to the person in charge's work report.

This surprise attack did yield considerable results.

Just Aucma, in this attack, seized 0.9% of JPMorgan Chase's shares, as well as shares of Merrill Lynch, First Citibank and other financial companies, although not much, only about a few tenths of a percent.

But the advantage is that there are more than a dozen of them, and they were all purchased at low prices, and it has not yet completely ended.

Maybe people from other families will be unable to resist and continue selling.

Because if you don’t sell, no one knows whether you will be targeted and die inexplicably.

This chaotic situation has everyone in a panic.

After listening to the report from the person in charge, Zhao Mancang was about to speak when the satellite phone on the desk rang.

"Boss, we found them. We saw the Gyro Gate. They appeared on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan."

On the other end of the phone, the excited voice of the leader of the Black Cross Force came, which immediately stunned Zhao Mancang.

This gyrogate scandal was really hidden very deeply, but this time the big wave actually brought it out.

It seems that this incident has finally exposed the true colors of these capital giants, right?
Zhao Mancang pondered for a while and said:
"In that case, we must keep a close eye on them. We absolutely must not alert the enemy. This time, we must completely wipe out the Gyro Sect."

"Okay, Boss, we will definitely complete the mission."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Mancang walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at Fifth Avenue not far away.

Aucma is located near Wall Street, which is the central area of ​​Manhattan, in the middle of a forest of skyscrapers.

Whether it is Yunlan City or Beijiang City, both cities hope to become such mega cities in the future.

I don’t know if there is such a possibility.

After all, to become such a megacity, you need a large number of people and a large number of large enterprises.

Without decades of development, it would be difficult to become such a big city.

Over the next few days, Zhao Mancang wandered around Manhattan, New York, and after finalizing all matters, he returned home. He returned to the city of Beijiang to accompany Lin Wan, but in New York, the chaos was slowly subsiding, but it had not yet completely subsided.

The Gyro Gates appeared, but they quickly hid themselves again.

Just like a chameleon, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

At the New York docks, large quantities of industrial equipment, oil, minerals, grain, etc. are transported out of warehouses, loaded into containers, and then transferred to giant ocean cargo ships.

After the freighter starts, these containers will slowly leave the Atlantic Ocean, pass through Panama, then return to the Pacific Ocean, and then return to Hong Kong Island.

At Beijiang Wharf, in the evening of that day, Zhao Mancang and Lin Wan, who had just finished dinner, came here for a walk.

"Mancang, it seems very busy here. Where did all these supplies come from?"

Lin Wan stood in the distance and looked out. Seeing the busy Beijiang Wharf, she couldn't help but ask in surprise.

She had also come here in 1974, but at that time there was no Beijiang Wharf, so this place was just a river beach.

However, she did not lament the changes in the city because she had been watching the city's progress.

However, it was precisely because of this that she was somewhat surprised to see Beijiang Wharf so busy today.

"It's just some oil, minerals, imported equipment, food, and so on. They come from all over the place. Some are from Sam, some from Europe, some are shipped from Kimura, and some are from South America, etc."

Zhao Mancang said with a smile.

He naturally knew all of these things very well, because many of the things in them were actually arranged by him.

Even without mentioning Wall Street Wolf-like companies like Aucma, Mayflower Media Group alone can make a profit of 100 to 200 million US dollars every year.

These are all pure profits and are relatively stable.

With so much money, of course we need to get it back.

Mayflower Media Group will donate to a fund to do good deeds, and will also purchase a large number of cars to use as tax deductions, and then regularly "scrap" these cars or sell them as used cars.

All of these sold cars will be loaded directly into containers as some kind of donation and then transported to places in need such as Africa.

It turned out not to be the case, but it was transported to Hong Kong Island.

In Beijiang City, a large imported used car market has been established.

Although it was the 1980s and private car purchases were not allowed in the country, many people were not stupid and just took the note given by their work unit and bought the car.

In name, a car purchased from the used car market belongs to the unit, but in reality it is used by individuals.

The most important thing is that you don’t need to pay for the gas yourself, which is really great.

It is because of things like this that many people like the current model very much.

The economic development of Beijiang City is very rapid. After the reform and opening-up policy came out in 1977 or 1988, individual economies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and many of them have emerged soon.

This is also the main reason why the population of Beijiang City has quickly exceeded three million.

Even now, the national roads, expressways and railways leading to the surrounding cities have not yet been opened to traffic, but many people have heard that they can make a fortune here, so everyone has come here.

Of course, the current imported used car market in Beijiang City is actually more of a pile of cars, all parked in warehouses, well preserved, but not sold.

Because the price is still too expensive, many people cannot afford it.

After all, it was January 1981, and many people had no money and naturally could not afford to buy a car.

However, bicycles are still affordable, so a bicycle fleet has gradually formed in Beijiang City.

"Oh, that's great!"

Lin Wan nodded, then changed the subject and asked:

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. When will the children come back? Are we going to celebrate the Spring Festival here this year? Or go back to our hometown in Beijing?"

Liu Baochan has already gone to Hong Kong Island and will come back with Zhao Huijun and the others.

"Let's celebrate the Spring Festival here. I've already told the kids that we should all come back here together. We'll go buy New Year's goods in a couple of days."

"Ok!"

After hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Lin Wan nodded again and asked:
"The children have grown up, isn't it time for them to get married? As a father, shouldn't you urge them to do something?"

Zhao Mancang almost rolled his eyes when he heard this.

As the eldest child in the family, Zhao Huijun already has a partner, Tao Yimin.

But neither of them has gotten married yet, and Lin Wan is actually urging Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi to get married?
Is this too early?
You know, Xiao Baozi and Xiao Taozi were both born in 1959. After the Spring Festival this year, they are only 22 years old. Is this a very old age?

"Of course it's big. I've wanted to hold my grandson for a long time. If you don't urge me, I'll do it." Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said.

Zhao Mancang was speechless.

She is already pregnant now, and she is actually thinking about having a grandson?
It really makes people not know what to say.

However, this is the case for almost everyone who has lived through that era. The four words "many children, more blessings" have been deeply rooted in people's minds.

Not to mention others, even Lin Wan herself gave birth to several children: Xiao Taozi, Xiao Shitou, Xiao Pangdun, Zhao Siyu, and Zhao Yuechan.

Including the unborn baby in her belly, there are six babies in total.

In fact, the baby in her belly was not one, but twins, but Zhao Mancang had not told her yet.

The reason why Zhao Mancang didn't tell her was that he hoped she could treat it with a normal attitude. On the other hand, she was an elderly mother and needed to have a more stable mentality.

This is also the important reason why Zhao Mancang came back to accompany her as much as possible.

So once she really gave birth, she would have given birth to a total of seven children, forming the Calabash Brothers.

"As long as you like it!" Zhao Mancang said, and then the phone rang. It turned out to be a call from Zhao Jinshi, the little stone.

"Dad, I'm in trouble." (End of this chapter)
