Chapter 323 Choice 2
The state capital of Missouri is located in Jefferson City, but to old Missourians, there are actually three state capitals.
The state capital of Southern Missourians is in Springfield, the state capital of Northwest Missourians is in Kansas City, Kansas, and the state capital of Northeastern Missourians is in St. Louis - there is no outstanding figure after counting the three. What happened to Ferson?
The Gulfstream G650 passed through the clouds and landed at the Kansas Airport. Temir did not stay for even a minute and took the car directly to Blue Springs, west of Kansas City.
Achilles's face is not that big, and Mi'er will not come back in embarrassment just because of his words.
That's ridiculous. After all, this is not a period of slavery. Although she is a girl, she has some family status.
When I go home this time, the rich black-haired woman wants to see her father.
The convoy entered Route 70, and they could go home in ten minutes. However, Tamir's mood was extremely complicated. She had not returned to the Kalamacris' old house for a long time.
After undergoing plastic surgery and recuperating in Missouri, she lives in St. Louis, where she also owns property.
For Mier, going home is a very stressful thing.
The convoy turned off Highway 70 and entered a small road without road signs. This is an estate outside the town of Blue Springs, and it has also been the center of activities of the Kalamacris family for the past century.
"Take the box I brought, don't forget it."
The car stopped, Tamir said to follow and walked quickly into the house.
In the studio on the first floor, she found her father, an old architect in his sixties, Anthony Kalamacris.
Noticing the arrival of his little daughter, Anthony's hand holding the paintbrush shook slightly, but he still chose to dry the honey.
"Wait a moment, sit down first, I haven't finished painting yet."
Tmir did not sit down, but turned around and motioned to his entourage to take the gift he had brought, and immediately walked to his father's side He turned to his side and looked attentively.
Anthony may seem like a ruthless capitalist to outsiders, but he actually prefers to be called an architect. Although he has never designed a few buildings in his life, the few he has designed have been very successful.
But Anthony doesn't think this success is worthy of praise - after all, it was all built in Missouri, and he doesn't believe what others say.
What he painted today was a watercolor painting. Many people who don’t understand art will think that oil painting is high-end, and watercolor, gouache, and Chinese painting are a bit less interesting. But in fact, there is no such chain of contempt at all.
Anthony learned painting as an architect, so when he created for fun, he painted gouache and watercolor, and he was pretty good at it.
"It feels a little serious. Who has made you unhappy recently?"
The question made Anthony feel angry. The old man was holding painting tools in both hands, but he was slightly tilted. He glanced at her.
Who are you talking about?
Anthony didn't say anything, it was hard to see this worried little daughter for once, he didn't want to quarrel.
The rich black-haired woman smiled awkwardly, put down the small box in her hand, and leaned on the back of Anthony who was sitting.
"Dad, don't be unhappy, I'm back~"
Anthony looked at the castle in the painting, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a deep voice.
“Wait until I finish painting.”
Although I love you very much, I must let you go!
Themile was never a good girl. She pestered Antony and stuffed the gifts she had brought for him into his arms.
"I went to China on a business trip some time ago, and you will definitely like the gift I brought you."
Anthony finally couldn't help but smile. He is a big capitalist, but not Influenced by the fact that he is also an old father.
He was very pleased that his disobedient daughter was back and much more sensible.
“What’s inside?”
The rich black-haired woman put her hands behind her back and said in a somewhat arrogant tone.
"You will know after you take it apart and look at it. I entrusted my partner in China to find this for me. It is very special."
Anthony happened to have a utility knife at hand, and Anthony smiled. After opening the small gift Mi'er brought, inside was a set of traditional Chinese painting pigments, including gold powder, silver powder and other not-so-cheap precious pigments.
"Mineral pigments, plant pigments, and natural compound pigments, how about it, are you satisfied?"
Of course Anthony is satisfied, he actually has this thing, and Bimier gave it to him It's all right, but he likes his daughter to express closeness to him.
How many years?
Because he was too busy with work, he even forgot when Mi'er started having a cold war with him.
“Satisfied, haha, haven’t eaten yet? It’s almost dinner time now. Let the chef cook whatever you want.”
So, in fact, it’s the same in the East and the West, Anthony is the same Even though he is the top capitalist in mankind, he still asks his girl if she has eaten.
“I don’t dare to eat at night now. Hey, how about we come to your study to chat?”
"What can you do without eating? Mi'er, you are too thin now. You are so thin that you can be blown away by a gust of wind. You need to eat more."
"Ha, don't worry about this, I Now I'm very good at boxing, but I'm not as weak as you think."
Pushing Anthony's wheelchair, Mi'er walked into the study with him.
Anthony knew why Mier came, and Mier also knew that Anthony knew why she came, but neither of them took the initiative to mention the matter in California or Achilles.
After being slapped in the face so many times by Mr. Cheng, Temir has finally grown up. Her long rebellious period was completely crushed in the face of the cruel reality. She now looks like a well-behaved girl. daughter.
Walking through the corridor of the manor, the dusk light shone on Anthony through the window on one side of the corridor. The warm winter sun in the evening was better than nothing, but Anthony felt a long-lost warmth of family affection from his daughter.
They should have had a good talk long ago, but in all these years, they have never had a talk.
"You and Achilles have been having conflicts for many years. This matter is his fault. He is so much older than you, so he should let you go a little bit."
Pushing his father, Themir did not emphasize the problem between himself and Achilles too much.
"There is no contradiction, dad. Sometimes my brother is more controlling, but it is for my own good."
Anthony closed his eyes, he didn't know whether he was happy or unhappy.
Anthony was a little happy to see the changes in his daughter, but more sad.
Out of rationality as the patriarch of a capital family, he was pleased that Mi'er was gradually maturing, but as a guilty father, he did not want Mi'er to mature.
It would be nice to be a willful little girl forever, hey.
As parents, you hope that your children will be mature, strong and tough, but at the same time hope that your children will never be mature, strong and tough. Only parents can understand this complex feeling.
"Mi'er, you don't have to defend him like this. What he did is outrageous. I know why you sent that Ferb to California. I will reprimand him."
Although Anthony has been ill for many years, Unable to move freely, his control over the family is far from being replaced by Achilles.
What Achilles did was indeed a bit outrageous, and the fight within the family spread outside.
Internal fighting is okay, but don’t invite external forces to cause trouble. That is the source of decline.
So, Anthony would choose to help Mi'er - he decided before Mi'er even opened her mouth.
"No, brother means well. Gru, do you know Gru?"
Anthony lit the pipe, took a deep breath, and asked.
"That black policeman?"
Tmir glanced at the waiter, the waiter looked at Anthony, Anthony glared at him, and the waiter went out aggrievedly.
Our family has been giving Kalamacris dogs for several lifetimes, and you still don’t believe me!
No, I must be more loyal in the future!
“Dad, Gru’s situation is much more complicated than I thought. I thought he might be involved in some illegal activities, such as smuggling, but later I realized that the illegal activities he was involved in were too More.
Now that I have business dealings with him, and on the other hand, he is an excuse for me to contact Niu Sen. What should I do?”
If Mr. Cheng and Achilles were here, they would be shocked and speechless. The amount of information in Mi'er's words is really too much.
Anthony was smoking his pipe, stroking the paint box sent by Mier with his other hand, and did not express his position for a long time.
Temir realized something. Her face was a little tense. She wanted to force out a smile but was afraid of revealing it, so she looked at her father steadily without any unnecessary movements or words.
"Ah, it's a big trouble. What do you think should be done about it? I want to hear your opinion first, Mi'er."
The old fox didn't say anything at all, and even put the ball He threw it back into Themir's hands intact.
Anthony is Themile's father. He will be happy for his daughter's arrival, excited for his daughter's gifts, and gratified for his daughter's growth.
But he is the leader of the Kalamacris family and the leader of the capital group that spans several eras. He is more rational and ruthless than most of the Machiavellians in the world.
The behavior of political leaders can be stupid and clownish, but the behavior of capital leaders always operates according to the logic of capital.
They prospered with this. One after another, the magnificent eras washed away those stupid capital groups, leaving no one behind who was not a simple character.
In general novels, even leaders have shortcomings. Everyone has shortcomings.
Of course Anthony has shortcomings. For example, he can only rely on a wheelchair to move around. For example, he has not handled the relationship between his family well.
But he who can stand at the top of the world only has these shortcomings. On some important things, he will never make mistakes - he does not dare.
With the thousand-year inheritance of Kalamacris weighing on him, how could he dare to let personal family ties affect his judgment?
Anthony did not want to express his position easily. He was more concerned about what his daughter wanted to do now.
Mi'er, tell me, what do you want to do?
"Kill him, I want to be an ordinary rich man now, but Gru is a very different person. He comes from the bottom, and his methods are very cruel, dad."
Looking at his silent father, Temir's heart was like a boat without support, sinking continuously into the darkness that could not be seen to the bottom.
Dad, what do you want from me?
“So, Dad, I think the best way is to find someone to kill him, and not to affect our Kalamacris family, otherwise their desperate people will affect our safety.”
Themir continued to express her position. She was on Kalamacris's side at the moment.
Anthony knocked on his pipe and sighed.
“You have really grown up, hahaha, Mi’er, you have gained a lot from starting your own business in the past few years.”
He had many children, but the only ones who stood out were Achilles and Myrtle.
Elite education in the United States is very strict and elite, but the people educated are not necessarily elites.
Moreover, even elites are nothing. What Anthony expects is not just for them to become elites.
There are many elites among his children, but there are only two who show courage and extraordinary personality - but this makes him very satisfied.
Achilles has a natural leadership spirit, strong, smart, and decisive. Even if he is to be a general, he will have no problem.
Although Mi'er has a lot of shortcomings, she has no stereotypes in her mind and has a cold heart that is not bound by anything. Apart from being not too strong or too smart, she is almost perfect.
Well, Anthony thinks that Themir is not smart enough. If he says this, Mier will definitely let this old man taste her fist today - this is the case for people who have no rules in their heads and cold hearts. of.
“OC has hit the ceiling of development. The capacity of the perfume industry is still too small. Dad, I raised 300 million US dollars this time, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to achieve results.”
< br>Being miserable, showing weakness, and complaining, Temir has given up on trying to repair relationships.
Anthony was still so cold-blooded, she was even ashamed of her expectations.
"I reminded you in 2013 that the perfume industry is naturally loved by girls, but it is boring to do. Your brother is now mining in Turkey. This sounds silly and unimaginative, but mining, farming, electricity, Transportation is the most important industry.
Without perfume, the world would still be the same. Without the ore industry, it would stop. Without food, human beings would go to war. Without electricity, modern civilization would end. Without transportation, big cities would die. It will become a cage.
Mier, how about I give you an industry, and you can serve on the board of directors, get some training, and at the same time run your industry in Africa.”
Africa. !
Africa!
Or Africa!
“Dad, I don’t want to go to Africa, I’ve said it many times.”
Themir managed to smile, she didn’t want to get into another argument.
Anthony knew it was inappropriate to say this, but he still wanted to say it.
"Mi'er, you have grown up. You came to see me today. We have talked for so long and you are much more sensible. You should understand that going to Africa is not an exile. Our Kalamacris family has been in business hundreds of years ago. Crossed Africa but failed
Africa will definitely rise in the future. Due to its weak local culture and backward development level, its upper limit may not be too high, but it will also become an important part of the human order.
You always feel that Achilles is squeezing you away, but he actually gave you a pretty fat cake - I didn't agree to give you all the African industry, or was he insisting on it? .
You know, we have almost tens of billions of assets there, as well as a bunch of exploration rights and franchise rights. "
Well-founded and reasonable, Anthony can be said to have a far-reaching plan for honey.
"Moreover, now that transportation technology and communication technology are so advanced, you will be in Africa one year in the future. You can handle your work in just a month, and you can be wherever you want most of the time. There is no need to live in Africa for a long time.
If you don't like the climate, living environment, etc., I can build a house for you, five or six of them like the princess's castle, and arrange the best security for you.
Mi'er, daddy, I hope you can understand my expectations for you. Why do you have to fight with Achilles? Africa has broad prospects and a promising future. "Assets worth tens of billions of dollars are given to you!
Castles and bodyguards are given to you!
Important puzzle pieces of human order are given to you!
Anthony himself felt that this was too generous and given too much. For a moment or two, he even felt a little distressed.
This is too much for a capitalist. At this moment, his greed for capital overshadows his love for his little daughter.
But he is indeed Mi'er's father, and he has always loved Mi'er, so after hesitating, Anthony continued to increase his chips.
He didn’t want to see a fight within the family, especially since his two children were both so good—both cruel carnivores.
He would not be surprised if anyone died, he would be heartbroken.
Splitting up the family business is a traditional practice of the Kalamacris family. The patriarch of each generation will choose the best children to split up the business. This is an inherited habit of not putting eggs in one basket.
This kind of split does not worry about shrinking capital. After all, everyone is named Kalamacris. There will continue to be exchanges between the main line and the branch lines in the future - the fat water will not easily flow to outsiders.
"Also, isn't your little boyfriend called Chan? He is also very short of money. The so-called online media industry is after all the leftovers of big Internet companies. It has already exploded once a few years ago. It is difficult to have a good result in the future - unless he can sell it.
Your OC is short of money, and his MCN is short of money. I will give you another 200 million in cash and transfer it to the future African Group. You can use it as you like.”
The temptation is strong and the sincerity is strong.
But Mi'er had plenty of reasons not to accept it, but on the other hand, she had too many reasons to accept it.
In the final analysis, it is just risk and expectation.
What are the risks of going against Achilles?
Cheng Daqi, that Shabi, is seeking death all the way to the end!
He thinks he can win, but she doesn’t think that people at the top of the world have always been ruthless thieves. Heroes for a moment will always be buried and washed away by the torrent, and the castles they built will be erased by those thieves. , everything will eventually return to that terrible order.
She is willing to accompany Mr. Cheng, and she is also willing to fight Achilles to the end, but her hardness is different from Mr. Cheng's.
Cheng Daqi's hardness is really hard. Even though he is smooth and smooth like a clown, his heart is as hard as a diamond.
Mi'er is not, her hardness is a protective shell for cowardice and uneasiness.
What does a real hero and a real strong person look like?
Look at how they choose, just look at how they choose at the most critical moment of decision-making!
Looking through the history books, there are countless so-called heroes and famous ministers, and they are so-called handsome as a crucian carp crossing the river, but at the moment of real decision-making, the gap appears.
The so-called decisiveness, the so-called bravery, the so-called courage, in the end is just a question of how to choose.
Heroes, smart people, wise men and masters can all see the form, but there are always people who go against the current, and only by doing so can they achieve great things.
Mr. Cheng chose to move forward, Mi'er chose.
"I don't want to say another word to Achilles. Dad, the family council should forget it and wait for Achilles." I'll go in after I die.
Of course, my last name will always be Kalamacris, don’t worry. "
Themir collapsed visibly. Her body was still sitting opposite Anthony, but she felt tired for no reason in her heart.
She killed herself.
She killed the angry self when she was a teenager, the self who promised to become a 'big shot' in front of her grandfather when she was seven or eight years old, and the proud self who had been rebellious for many years
<. br>Mr. Cheng killed his innocence and delusion and chose to move forward
Temir killed his persistence and delusions and chose stable mediocrity.
Getting up and wanting to leave, Tamir didn't shed any tears. Her tears were just for the sake of becoming a great person. The rich black-haired woman wanted to become a boss.
Seeing that Themile wanted to leave, Anthony said.
"Mi'er, when you grow up, you won't make me worry, right?"
He knew that Mi'er could not accept the status quo of losing the qualification to compete for the family heir for a while. He understood Themir, so he only gave this instruction.
"When will the integration of the African Group be completed? Can you give me a time? I want to go to Africa as soon as possible."
"Within half a month, one month at most. Equity changes are simple, but personnel changes are more troublesome. I will help you sort it out, kid."
"I'm going back to California first. Dad, remember to get checked on time and arrange some more bodyguards for yourself. Your good son is a murderer. No blinking thing."
"Temiel!"
"Okay, Dad, there is no family affection in the Kalamacris family. Don't pretend to be a loving or strict father. You have been mine. Father? ”
"What are you talking about?"
"You said I can tell the chef what I want to eat. So dad, do you know what I like to eat?"
"Of course, lemon honey chicken , you have liked it since you were a child."
"That is what Achilles likes, but you think all our children like it. Anthony, you have never been a father, just a farm owner.
You sent the pig out of the family, and Achilles and I became talents. You favored him, what about me?
I am going to Africa, how am I worse than him? Because I'm a woman? Because I'm younger than him? "
"Asshole! You. You bastard! "
"So will you take back the African Group you gave me? I don’t think so. If you take it back, it means that you have violated the rules that you value most. You like to play with rules, just like some people like to play with sincerity.
When the rules are beneficial to you, you ask everyone to abide by them. When the rules are beneficial to the family, you start to move around in your wheelchair. When the rules are slightly unfavorable to you, you will..."
“Get out! ”
"Ha, I look forward to you taking back the 'important part of the human order' you gave me, hahaha, Anthony, I'm looking forward to it!"
——
"So you gave up that hundred "Billions of dollars?"
Mr. Cheng was dumbfounded. Tamir came to his house in the middle of the night and took him out to stroll in the park, only to tell him that he had given up his tens of billions of wealth.
Mi'er, you really should go see it!
Although I am not a professional psychiatrist, I can almost confidently give you a diagnosis now - terminal stage!
"Yeah, but it depends on Anthony."
Tmir doesn't care about the family fortune, she is more concerned about Cheng Daqi's unbelievable shit appearance now.
"Look at what you are anxious about, isn't it just tens of billions of dollars? I will have so many OCs in two years, why should I accept them?"
I am the queen, I fight. But Achilles, Antony, sister, can’t you even earn tens of billions of dollars?
joke!
If I, Themir, can't even become a billionaire, why am I still alive?
“You’re right, but that’s tens of billions of dollars.”
President Cheng only knew that the Kalamacris family was awesome, but now he really felt how wealthy they were. Man, the industry in Africa alone is worth tens of billions. This is outrageous.
Themir covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Look at how petty you are, Chan. Ten billion dollars is the price of two mines, and not all of them are mines. It may only be worth a few billion if it is realized.
OC will be worth several billion soon. "Yes, your vision is too shallow, I dislike you a little bit."
Mr. Cheng motioned to Danze, who was yawning, to stay away, and asked Mi'er.
"What's going on? Please tell me the details."
The rich black-haired woman sighed. She returned to Saint-Loto to meet Mr. Cheng just to talk and rely on. At this moment, Mr. Cheng She always wanted to hear it, and of course she was willing to talk, so Themir started telling it from the beginning.
"So your father's physical condition is?"
"Paralysis caused by cancer means that he can only move his two hands and cannot move his lower body at all. However, this old guy can still be hard, and he needs a lover to come to his door every now and then!"
Anthony Calamacris, although he is Mi'er's father, from the perspective of a fellow man, Mr. Cheng feels from the bottom of his heart that he is awesome.
“Will the African Group still give it to you?”
“I don’t know, I hope not to give it to you, but with the character of that old guy Anthony, he will give it to you. He is no longer the kind of person he is. Humans are completely profit animals, you don’t understand.”
"I understand. He doesn't want you to fight with Achilles, which shows that he actually values you very much. Mi'er, what you said at that time was too much." Mr. Cheng shook his head and replied.
Tmir asked angrily like a cat with exploded fur.
"Excessive? Does a father who always encourages his daughter to go to Africa deserve my respect? Does he regard me as his daughter?"
Those lake-blue eyes are still shining in the dark night. So dazzling, now soaked in tears.
She didn't cry in front of Anthony, she didn't cry when her father threw her to Africa, but now she cried when President Cheng said something.
In Mi'er's heart, the so-called Anthony and Achilles were just family members decided by God, while Ke Cheng was always the family member she chose.
Themir can accept God's mistakes, and can endure Antony's ruthlessness and Achilles' arrogance, but she cannot accept that Cheng Daqi will not stand with her.
Looking at Mi'er who was crying, what President Cheng thought of was Zhao Hongjin.
At that time, he used their strength to move forward, but now, he was paying the price one by one, and every cut made him feel like a knife.
"I was actually a little scheming just now, Mi'er, I hope you won't blame me. What I'm thinking about is that if you break up with the Kalamacris family, our future will be much more difficult.
There is a saying in China called 'Between trees and wild geese, dragons and snakes change', which means"
Mr. Cheng took the crying Mi'er in his arms and gently stroked her back.
"So, sometimes it is a good choice to be patient and wait for the opportunity to change. "
"Coward! ”
Themir’s scolding was so soft that Mr. Cheng didn’t hear it clearly.
"What?"
"I said you are a coward! Chan, you are a coward. A grown man expects me, a woman, to endure it. Oh, why are you so shameless and why do I love you?"
Themir looked up at Mr. Cheng and questioned loudly. Her anger had been building up at home, and now it finally began to be released.
“First, the so-called what should men be like and what should women be like is an absurd logic. Gender is only a biological difference and does not determine other things.
Second, we are very We have been supporting each other to move forward a long time ago. I understand your choice when facing Antony and Achilles, but I feel there is no need to give up like this. You can definitely keep trying.
Third, I’m not shameless. Forget it, it’s hard to leave, I can handle it hahaha. ”
The ultimate emotional brain and the ultimate rational brain, both of which exist in Mier at the same time. Mr. Cheng understands her emotional needs, so he chooses to stop here.
Girl , don’t cry, we have to move forward.
Danzai is not sleepy at all now, how strange it is, two super rich people are exchanging passionate words late at night, it’s so exciting. br>"They. They always say that Africa is good and that Africa has potential. I know this is a fact, but aside from the facts, aren't they going too far?
Why, why, why!
I just didn’t want to go to Africa. There was no reason. I didn’t want to go, so I agreed but then regretted it. I scolded Anthony. I hoped he wouldn’t give me the tens of billions African Group.
I don’t want to go, Chan, but they always say I should go. I hate it! I wanted to die, I wanted to end it all, but I wanted to see you before I died, so I flew back to Saint-Loto to see you.
Chan, I am so angry that I want to kill people, kill those who have slept with me, and kill Achilles. I will never forget his hateful look. ”
The incoherent Mi’er was very real, her nose was stained all over Mr. Cheng’s clothes, and Mr. Cheng just stroked her back.
"Where is your mother?"
"She died a long time ago. She was killed by Anthony looking for a wild man. Our family likes to kill people, and you also like to kill people. Gru came to me to complain two days ago. He was tricked by you. "
"We have to stabilize Gru, Mi'er, BEC must get on board and bring Gwell in. You will no longer have the name of the Kalamacris family. We must take advantage of the last opportunity. Get rid of Wolfe and Niusen.
At the same time as BEC is activated, the Steven sent by your brother must be eliminated, and the old Dracula must be eliminated, so that Wolfe can get a piece of shit. Niu Sen is a mess, bring them all in!”
In addition, MAS will continue to expand with the advent of the cryptocurrency circle, which will be the weapon of the Communist Party of China in the field of public opinion and ideology in the future! , very important.
There are also e-commerce platforms and car manufacturing, which can also be accelerated, but it may not be possible to invest large sums of money in car manufacturing.
“I have never been from the Kalamacris family, Chan. There are only two people in this family, one is Antony and the other is Achilles. Can’t you see clearly?
Anthony He acquiesced in my contact with Niu Sen. He used me as a bargaining chip for testing. I was just a tool in his eyes.
In the future, they will not publicly say that I am not from the Kalamacris family. What will happen in the future. That’s all, you don’t have to be so frightened!”
Mr. Cheng looked at Mi’er with mixed emotions.
True and false, false and true, had she been lying for a long time, or was it just this time that her explanation was false?
Is her tenacity at this moment really tenacious, or is she just pretending?
It should be pretending, what is it for?
This question was too cruel, he didn't dare to think about it, he just wiped away Mi'er's tears with his hands.
"It's okay, the difficulty is difficult, Mi'er, I'm here, didn't you say, I'm a man hahahaha."
Choice 2 is presented, it contains many details, the intertwining of Anthony's human softness and rationality, the contrast between Mier's obedience and rebelliousness, truth, lies, excuses, temptations, emotional accusations, empathy, as well as right, wrong, I feel like I still don’t want to explain the various dialogues that are disrespectful and ignore the facts, so everyone can taste it for themselves.
