Chapter 498: Do It My Way This Time
The ringing of the telephone made Fleming pause his conversation; he walked to the window of the living room and picked up the phone.
"This is Fleming."
Fleming has his own villa, his own garage, his own luxury cars, and even his own company.
Bandi is determined about him, or rather, about the whitewashing of the family.
Perhaps it was precisely because Bandi saw that the gang family had no future at all, so after he took office to preside over the family, the first thing he did was to find a way to wash it clean.
So Fleming lived almost under the spotlight and in the focus from childhood to adulthood.
He went to the best private schools, made friends with the richest and most powerful peers in New Jincheng, went to elite alliance universities, and planned to try to make some breakthroughs in politics!
He is not Bandi's remote-controlled toy; he has his own life and work, but all of this must follow a principle—
He cannot touch family gang business.
Perhaps he cannot realize the transformation from a gang family to a political family in his lifetime, but as the next generation born from political marriage begins to contact family affairs...
Then the Koda family can finally realize Bandi's dream of a lifetime!
"Fleming, it's me."
"Dad, is there anything?"
He raised his wine glass to his friends sitting on the sofa.
These people are all his future help.
"There is a person named Eugene beside Shi Dong?"
"Yes, I know this person; what's wrong with him?"
Gray industries in the family are all handled by Shi Dong and his father Gao Li; Gao Li is mainly responsible for everything in the casino, while the rest are all handled by Shi Dong.
He cannot handle all the industries and businesses in his hands alone, so there will be a few people like think tanks beside him.
Eugene is one of them.
"He caused some trouble," Bandi sighed softly.
Perhaps feeling Bandi's depression, Fleming took the initiative to ask, "Do you need my help?"
Fleming also has his own connections and social circle; everyone knows that he will be the next "Mr. Money" of the Koda family.
Mr. Money is an informal title, mainly used to refer to those who hold a large amount of capital and wealth.
Like Bandi now, in the eyes of many, he is "Mr. Money," the person who holds wealth.
No one will think they have too little money, and the Koda family are locals of New Jincheng, so they are willing to be friends with him.
As the next generation successor cultivated by the family, Fleming also wants to do something for the family—
This is actually a very interesting phenomenon.
Children from poor families often yearn for independent lives, but children from rich families instead hope to do something for their families.
So the gap between the poor and the rich is too large, so large that they cannot understand each other.
The son's initiative to share the problem made Bandi feel gratified; the efforts of these years were not in vain; he smiled and said, "You don't need to touch these things, until I ask you to do so."
"Have a pleasant day with your friends, and leave other things to me and Gao Li, do you understand?"
"Alright!" Fleming was slightly disappointed, but still decided to follow his father's decision, "If there is anything needed, give me a call."
After he hung up the phone, he returned to the living room; his friends were chatting hotly, "I watched a very interesting movie these days, 'Secrets Under the Water'; you really should watch it."
"It can definitely sell for a high price at the Spring Exhibition; if you ask me, we should also establish a film company; the dividend period of film has arrived..."
Look, Fleming, who has a gang family background, has successfully mixed into the upper class; these young people with prominent backgrounds have already started to consider investing to make money.
And some other young people of the same age as them have just adapted to the job positions where they need to work eleven hours a day and have forty dollars a month freely!
After Bandi hung up the phone, he made a call to Shi Dong; this nephew is like half a son to him.
He hopes that the two brothers can walk on together for a lifetime like him and Gao Li, and finally let the family complete the transformation they want.
When people talk about the Koda family, they will no longer say it is a "gang family"; they will say it is a "financial group" or a "political family"; this is what he wants.
It is also precisely because he is very good to the two brothers that he doesn't speak so tactfully and politely.
He went straight to the theme as soon as he came up, not giving Shi Dong a chance to refuse.
"You have a subordinate, a young man named Eugene; did he cause any trouble?"
Shi Dong didn't react at first, "I don't know what you mean."
"Lanse just called me and asked me to hand Eugene over."
Bandi said the reason he called, but he didn't say the deeper things.
Eugene can't make the decision; the one who can really make the decision is Shi Dong; now Eugene offended Lanse, so was this decision made by Shi Dong?
Shi Dong's brows were tightly knit together; he hesitated for a while, but still decided to tell the truth.
"Lanse and the others have a boxer under them named Ethan; this guy is very talented and keeps winning matches."
Bandi gave an "um," signaling him to continue.
"Now as long as it's his match, almost the vast majority of guests will buy him to win; our profit pressure is very high."
"Every period we have to lose 200,000 or 300,000; after this period is all cleared, we will lose 700,000 or 800,000."
"So Eugene proposed a suggestion before; he said he knew a very powerful boxer who could snipe Ethan, and I agreed."
"If we won, we could earn about 700,000 or 800,000, but in fact, we failed."
"I don't understand, what is there for him to find trouble with? It's not like they lost!"
Bandi was silent for a while, "I know, I'll talk to him."
After he hung up the phone, he dialed the phone to Lanse again, "I just talked to Shi Dong; your people won the match and also took away the profit; I don't understand what the significance of your request is."
After Lanse finished listening, he laughed a few times, very heartily, but the things hidden in the laughter and the sound of laughter made Bandi a bit irritable, "What are you laughing at?"
Lanse replied, "What else can I laugh at? Of course, I am laughing at you!"
"Fuck!"
"Lanse, watch your language!"
Last time, facing Lanse's toughness, Bandi chose to retreat, which made Gao Li complain about him for a long time, and even suspect whether he had become a softie!
He is not a softie!
He also walked out of the blood-stained path; it's just that the family's direction has changed now, and he can no longer speak with his fists like in the past.
But this doesn't mean he won't be angry, and it doesn't mean he has to always maintain "weakness" when facing this young man, Lanse.
Lanse didn't care at all about his sudden outburst of temper, "There are rules in the city; this is a regular boxing match; your people made a move; no matter if we won or lost, and whether we took away the money that belongs to us, your people made a move."
"You cheated, Bandi, and were caught by us!"
"My request is not high; hand the person over, and this matter ends here."
Just as he was speaking, Gao Li walked in from outside the door.
After Bandi finished talking to Shi Dong, Shi Dong called his father to tell him about this matter.
Although Bandi is indeed very good to him and really treats him as his son, he is not Bandi's biological son after all.
Bandi wants to whitewash, but he cannot use his family members as bargaining chips; Shi Dong didn't know what this matter would become in the end, but he called Gao Li and told him the time simply and quickly.
So Gao Li walked over directly from another office, pushed the door and entered.
He walked to Bandi's side, pressed the speaker button on the phone, and then sat opposite Bandi.
Bandi looked at Gao Li a bit unexpectedly; after the two brothers looked at each other for a moment, Bandi continued, "We can't hand the person over; you have no loss at all!"
Lanse still didn't loosen his mouth, "You won't forgive a thief just because he didn't take anything when he sneaked into your house."
"I believe that once you find the thief, you will definitely make him die very ugly!"
"Bandi, I still say that; you cheated, you were caught, so you have to pay the price for it."
"You can not give him to me, but I will definitely find him!" Gao Li couldn't help it, "You can try!"
A voice suddenly appeared on the phone, which made Lanse stunned for a moment; he immediately realized who this person was, "Gao Li?"
"Honestly, you are far inferior to Bandi; at least Bandi is more like a ruler than you; you are just a thug!"
"I don't care whether you agree or not; my words have already been brought."
"The rules were set by you; now the ones breaking the rules are also you; remember every choice you make; don't regret such a choice."
"I will give you one day, but only one day!"
After Lanse finished speaking, he hung up the phone, which made Gao Li's lungs almost explode with anger!
As someone who has always been managing gray industries and gang affairs, he definitely wouldn't have a good temper.
Even the best temper would be worn out in the things that need to be done every day; however, he didn't explode immediately, but cast his gaze on Bandi, "What do you plan to do?"
Bandi thought with his hands against his chin; he was thinking about how to end this matter without causing any bad influence.
Gao Li saw him not speaking and frowned, "You don't really intend to hand Eugene over, do you?"
This work is organized and uploaded by~~
"If you really do this, how will they look at us, and how will those people in the city look at us?"
"When they needed them to exert effort, they exerted it; when they were used up, they were thrown away; who will dare to do things for the family in the future?"
Bandi was a bit displeased, "I didn't say I would hand Eugene over!"
"But you definitely thought so just now, damn it!", Gao Li didn't give Bandi any face at all, choking him so much that his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.
"Last time we already let some people laugh at us; if you retreat again, it will only make us completely become a joke!"
"Bandi, what made us gain a foothold in New Jincheng is the guns in our hands and the money in our pockets; as long as we always master these two things, we will always be the respected Koda family!"
It cannot be said that there is a problem with what Gao Li said, but this does not fully meet Bandi's requirements.
Gangs are gangs after all; the ceiling of gangs is too low; if he doesn't want the family to eventually perish in some political struggle, then his best way is to make changes.
"I did it all for the family!", he emphasized, as if he were protecting his last bottom line, but Gao Li didn't listen at all.
Gao Li looked at him, "Did your retreat last time bring you respect and authority?"
"Listen to the presumptuous voice of that kid on the phone; he doesn't respect you at all!"
"Before you hurt him, he will only think you are trash."
"We don't fear anyone, no matter who he is, other families, or Lanse and the others."
"Listened to you last time, and the result was we lost face."
"Listen to me this time, let me get back the face we lost with interest!"
Bandi sat in the chair and considered for a long time before slowly nodding, "Recently, some people in the Bay Area also have opinions about Lanse; unite their strength."
"Either don't do it, if you do it, you must press him to death!"
Only at this moment did Bandi rarely show the ruthlessness he had hidden again.
A smile appeared on Gao Li's face, "I know."
Eugene knew that Lanse was looking for him at the first time; he is also very panicked now.
Starting from the actual situation, he did indeed come up with the idea for the company's sake, went to contact the boxer, and mentioned the cheating.
He didn't consider his own interests at all; he didn't buy any betting tickets for any boxer, nor did he gain any benefits because of this matter.
If the company decided to hand him over, apart from being helpless, he might only be left with deep despair for the company.
At this time for him, every second is a torment.
Shi Dong looked at Eugene, who was constantly wiping sweat sitting on the sofa, and said impatiently, "Why don't you take off two pieces of clothing if you are so hot?"
Eugene squeezed out a bit of a smile and took off his coat.
The telephone ringing suddenly sounded; at this moment, the gazes of both people were focused on the phone.
Shi Dong picked up the phone; after a while, a smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Eugene, "You are lucky; the family decided to protect you."
Eugene exhaled heavily, "Thank you, thank you Mr. Bandi, thank you Mr. Gao Li, and thank you, Shi Dong."
Shi Dong lit a cigarette; he waved his hand, "You work for me; if I hand you over when I encounter trouble, who will sincerely do things for us in the future?"
"Although we will protect you, don't give Lanse and the others a chance yourself; it's best to stay in the company during this time, don't go anywhere!"
Eugene nodded, "I know."
A day passed quickly, and some people also called Lanse, such as Alberto.
During this period, Francisco's control over the Pasleto family has become stronger and stronger—
Mainly because his uncles, aunts, and grandparents discovered that the idea of wanting to gain family power by restraining Francisco could not be realized, and the young people in the family identified more with the equally young Francisco, so they gave up the idea of fighting for power.
After all, two people of their generation had already gone to see God; facts proved that Francisco was not such an obedient child, plus he had an Alberto who was like a mad dog beside him.
So Alberto's work became much easier.
"Do you plan to go to war with the Koda family?", Alberto asked a big question as soon as he came up.
Lanse smiled and denied his statement, "If they hand Eugene over, I am willing to follow the rules of this city."
Making a mistake, being caught, means admitting the mistake; the rules are actually very simple.
Lanse will arrange for Eugene and Ethan to fight for a round; either he knocks Ethan down, or Ethan beats him to death; someone has to fall.
This is very in line with the rules of this city, but it does not meet the interests of someone who sets the rules.
"If there is anything needed, tell me; we will stand on your side."
Actually, Lanse doesn't need Alberto's help, but he still expressed his gratitude for him taking the initiative to call and ask.
Sometimes these inquiries and attitudes are more comfortable than what he can do.
The next morning, Lanse made a call to Bandi, but it couldn't get through, and then he made a call to Gao Li, but it couldn't get through either.
He found Fleming's phone number; Fleming said he didn't care about family affairs and let Lanse call Shi Dong directly, and even gave him a number.
When the phone was connected, as soon as Lanse said who he was, an arrogant voice came from the other side, "Fq!"
Immediately after, the phone was hung up; Lanse looked at the receiver in his hand for a while, and then couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Everyone in the office looked at him, all looking at him seriously; only he was laughing there.
After laughing for a while, he said, "It's been a long time since I heard someone talk to me like that."
The smile on his face gradually closed, "It seems our friend didn't take our words to heart."
He pondered for a while, "Eugene must have been protected by them now; find his family and catch his family."
Lanse looked at Aierwen, who stood up, "I'll go now."
Lanse nodded, and then looked at Hailamu, "Distribute weapons to the brothers and prepare for battle."
Then he looked at Aierwen, "I remember we still have a few people who are about to expire?"
"About to expire" often refers to those foods and commodities, not people.
"About to expire" here actually refers to those who are terminally ill; they have all registered with the Lanse family, ready to take the blame at any time, or even sacrifice their lives!
Those who have done so pointed out the direction for them; after they died, Lanse gave their families a large sum of money and also had people take care of the lives of those families.
Their wives have work to do, and their children will not be discriminated against or bullied by people, which made them have no worries.
Anyway, they are about to die; why not exchange their soon-to-end lives for a beautiful future for their families before they die?
Some people may not be willing to do so, but there are more people willing to do so!
