Chapter 76 Everyone Needs to Grow Up

Emilio Adams never felt that his life ended with the land commissioner.

In the United States, the age of 50 is the peak moment for a man in politics. His grandfather told him this sentence, and his father also told him this sentence.

Emilio Adams has always believed that the Adams Foundation's shareholding in the US-Australia Paper Industry is the most important stroke in his life.

As one of the top political families in the United States, Emilio Adams feels that the United States has been going downhill since the late 70s!
Not to mention the increasing fiscal deficit year by year, the international military market, which Americans talk about most, is declining year by year with a share of 0.7%. Emilio Adams, one of the leaders of Raytheon, is the most have the right to speak.

Although the United States has been fighting secretly with the big country in the East recently, the United States has indirectly lost the markets in Asia and Western Europe.

Not to mention the most important part of industrial manufacturing, automobile manufacturing.

A car factory with annual sales of 10000 vehicles can drive the employment of 100 million people around. As long as you stand on the streets of any city in California, you will be dazzled by the Japanese cars flooding the streets and alleys.

Just at the end of last month, Ford Motor, the largest car factory in the United States, had just concluded the union's negotiations with him.

According to incomplete internal statistics, a simple half-month strike cost Ford Motor a loss of up to 5 million US dollars, and nearly 15 downstream suppliers declared bankruptcy!
Japanese products are raging in the United States, a large number of American manufacturing plants have moved out, and the unemployment rate of the people continues to rise.

This was the state of California in late 1984, and Emilio Adams as a political family was never a sympathetic character.

But these things have affected him. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier!

Value, in the eyes of politicians, is often not money but people, as long as you can create jobs, then you are valuable!

According to Emilio Adams' many private investigations, there are not many industries that can create huge value in California. The media industry (Hollywood), the energy industry (oil exploration), and technology (Cisco), among them, he is most impressed. Interested in the paper industry!
Although the profitability of the paper industry is not very high, it is the only labor-intensive industry in modern society, especially represented by the American-Australian paper industry in California.

US-Australia Paper may not be a big business in California.

But if you put these 7000 jobs in the bottom states of the US economy, this business can help a political family survive for ten years!
But such a valuable company was abandoned by the family behind him?

And it went bankrupt behind the back of a group of dwarfs!
This was unacceptable to Emilio Adams. Emilio, who was on the verge of going berserk in his office, picked up something and threw it at Valere Fran.

Instead, Valerie Fran stared at the recorder in front of him with his back turned to Emilio with a gloomy face.

Emmanuel Biddle stood at the door with a nervous look on his face. Whenever Emilio passed by him, Emmanuel Biddle would dodge reflexively.

"Valere, remember, you are just an ordinary fund manager working in the Adams family!"

"I really didn't think that I, Emilio, was worthless in your eyes. If something goes wrong with me, remember, I will be the first to send you to the prison in Rhode Island Live the rest of your life!"

Valere Fran's lips twitched when he heard this, and he wanted to argue, but he held back when he saw Emilio Adams with bloodshot eyes.

"Oh? Are you not convinced!"

"Without Mr. Adams, I just consider the issue from the perspective of the family, and I don't have any other views on you."

Emilio Adams stopped and stood in front of Valere Fran, pointing to his head and said, "Oh, I'm still not convinced, okay, let me show you the Adams family that you depend on for a living At this juncture, will someone protect you!"

Picking up the landline phone on the table, Emilio Adams skillfully made a call and yelled at the other end of the phone: "You have heard about me! Many people are watching me make fun of me!" But don’t worry, if I can’t sit still, I will drag you to die together! Now you immediately and immediately prosecute Valere Fran for the crime of illegal embezzlement of assets, and I will make him never appear in my in front of you!"

"Get out of here! Get Out!"

Valere Fran saw the middle finger pointed at his forehead and walked towards the door with a gray face. What Valere Fran did not expect was that Emilio had just hung up the phone at the door There were two men in suits and leather shoes waiting for him.

"Mr. Valere Fran, I am a lawyer for the Adams Family Foundation. I will now investigate you for the crime of illegal embezzlement. I hope you can cooperate with me."

Valere Fran looked back and looked at him coldly. Emilio Adams just smiled miserably and did not speak.

Emilio Adams saw Emmanuel Biddle, who was standing at the door with a timid face, took a deep breath and ordered: "Mr. Emmanuel, do you still want me to beg you to return to the US-Australia Paper Industry to stabilize the overall situation?" Do you know what you are going to do next?"

"I" Emmanuel Biddle raised his head and added with courage: "When I go back, I need to ask the colleagues in the finance department to count the current funds on hand, and then let them contact the insurance company to recover the losses, and then let the people in the purchasing department increase The recruitment of suppliers requires them to collect raw materials as quickly as possible to strengthen our ability to fulfill contracts, and finally to strengthen the internal security system of US-Australia Paper."

Emilio Adams forced a smile on his face and pointed at the door, "Okay! Go quickly! Waiting for your good news!"

Emilio Adams, who gritted his molars and finished speaking, rubbed his cheek vigorously after seeing Emmanuel Biddle leave, and immediately slumped on the chair.

The related problems brought about by the US-Australia paper industry are very big!
If US-Australia Paper announces that it is unable to perform its contract and goes bankrupt, the Adams Foundation will not only lose a large amount of money, but even the land commissioner position under his ass may be lost!
Because he is suspected of illegally manipulating state capital assets in private, although it is only a land that has been pledged by the bank, if someone finds out that he will not only have to go back to his hometown, but his previous ten years of hard work will be in vain!

Little Adams looked at his brother calmly and comforted him: "Brother, fortunately there is no oil under that piece of land. If there is oil, you may go to jail! The top priority now is to find that little ruffian. Since he dared to Expressing the documents and recording pen to you proves that he has more clues in his hands, and we don’t even know why the Mitsui consortium is interested in China, the United States and Australia Paper. access statement?"
-
Sophie Marceau, who was standing at the entrance of the Presbyterian Hospital, looked like a little daughter-in-law and helped Taoxi tidy up her clothes with concern.

Just when Tao Xi was about to turn around and get into the car, Sophie Marceau suddenly put her arms around Tao Xi's neck, kissed him softly on the cheek and comforted him softly: "Don't worry, I will take care of your brother."

"Thank you"

Sophie Marceau, who stood under the streetlight and looked worriedly at the Volkswagen going away, did not share her experience with Tao Xi in recent days. The sensible Sophie Marceau felt that Tao Xi’s recent days The encounter was already very unfortunate, and she didn't want to put any more pressure on Tao Xi.

When the car kept disappearing from her sight, Sophie Marceau followed Nilta, who was on crutches, and turned back to the hospital.

Tao Xi, who came to Sacramento for the first time, looked at the surrounding environment curiously. Little Adams, who didn't say a word along the way, seemed to feel Tao Xi's different mood.

"Sacramento is great. I bought a house here. If you don't mind that it doesn't snow at Christmas, I believe you can make a lot of friends here."

Little Adams glanced at Tao Xi in the rearview mirror, and it seemed that he was not very willing to speak, and he was not making fun of himself.

"Second port?"

Little Adams replied with surprise when he heard Tao Xi's words: "Wow, it's rare, you still remember the old name of Sacramento, if I didn't happen to eat at an old Asian man's place, I would Didn't know Sacramento would have such a wacky title."

Tao Xi stared enviously at the people who were boating on the river at night and said enviously: "It would be great if one day I can row boats on the river leisurely like those people."

Little Adams agreed with disdain, "Oh, as long as you have money, you can sell Chinese food at the gate of the White House, no problem!"

Soon Tao Xi knew why little Adams just said this to Tao Xi in the car with a look of disdain.

Because the respected California Land Commissioner Emilio Adams was waiting for him on a cruise ship docked on the shore. When he first saw Emilio, Tausi felt that he seemed to be a lot haggard.

"You don't seem to be in a good condition!" Tao Xi, who opened his arms and let Little Adams scan him with a metal detector, teased him with a rare smile on his lips.

Emilio Adams spread his hands indifferently, but this time he no longer had the relaxed and indifferent expression in front of Tao Xi.

"I think we can have a friendly negotiation at the same starting point this time!" Tao Xi asked, tilting his head and taking a serious look at the scenery on the river.

The dim lights on the surrounding cruise ships and the scenes of talking on the cruise ships often attract Tao Xi's attention.

"Ordinary people will not enjoy life in cruise ships like us at this time."

"Oh? We? No, no, no, you are you, I am me! You don't know that I can make you stop talking to me in that bossy manner this time, and my brother is still lying on the hospital bed. "

Emilio Adams was stunned for a long time when he heard Tao Xi's words.

Because he never felt that his attitude towards Tao Xi was bad before.

Whether at work or in life, Emilio Adams seriously recalled that he seemed to have always had this attitude!

"It seems that you didn't notice?" Tao Xi quickly thought of it when he saw Emilio's expression, Tao Xi shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you don't think that you are uncomfortable when you talk people hate."

Emilio spread his arms helplessly again and explained: "You are the first to tell me this, I sympathize with your brother's experience, if there is anything I need to do, I can do my best to help you."

"I don't like to trouble others, let's talk about our business."

When Emilio Adams heard that Tao Xi was willing to take the initiative to step into the topic, Emilio Adams asked straight to the point: "What is their purpose for doing this?"

"Oil? One that can produce 7000 barrels a day?"

Tao Xi didn't know if it was an illusion. Little Adams, who was rowing outside the cruise ship, seemed to have dropped his oar into the river, and Emilio Adams on the opposite side looked at him with a look of eating shit.

"It seems that you are surprised? That's right! It is the land that you traded to the United States and Australia Paper in advance. I think Mitsui & Co. also took a fancy to that land for auction, but you traded it to the United States and Australia Paper in advance. That's where everything comes from."

After Tao Xi said that, he took out a piece of paper and a bag of soil from his pocket and threw them into his arms.

"And the professional manager of Mei'ao Paper is not very competent. The security system of Mei'ao Paper is not qualified in my eyes. If a qualified security company does not set up too many dead ends in the factory, then The fire happened because of blind spots in vision, and his secretary was short of money, what he announced in the company in the morning was known to outsiders in the afternoon."

Emilio Adams' attention has long been focused on the soil quality inspection report that Tao Xi just gave him.

He chose the paper industry as the entry point at the beginning because the paper industry does not have so-called capital and giants. Taking this industry as the entry point he can not only get huge votes but also various invisible benefits!
If there is a better choice, he may choose energy!

It's a pity that 70% of the oil in the United States comes from Texas, but the oil in Texas is monopolized by Rockefeller, not because he doesn't want to but because he is powerless.

When the 7000 barrels of oil per day appeared in front of him, how could he not be moved?
And most importantly, imported oil and internally produced oil are two completely different concepts. If such oil deposits were 100% reserved as strategic resources during wartime!
What is a strategic resource? It's money!The reason why the Adams family did not support him to enter the paper industry was because of oil. Now that there is oil, what else does he lack!
Tao Xi looked at Emilio, who was sitting opposite him, obviously not listening to what he said, and Tao Xi was not angry, as everyone wanted different things, Tao Xi was willing to give him enough time to digest these.

Tao Xi, who walked outside the boat cabin, saw the usually very aloof little Adams lying on the boat and reaching into the river with one hand, feeling at a loss with a face of bewilderment.

"What are you doing?"

Tao Xi's voice startled little Adams, and little Adams immediately stood up, looked at Tao Xi pretending to be calm and replied, "Oh? Oh! It's nothing."

Tao Xi turned his head and glanced at the cruise ship not far from the pier, said hello and contemptuously: "You really don't want to throw the oars into the river, do you?"
