Chapter 616 Temptation!
Although Hener didn't care about the treatment, he had no control over the safety of his entry and exit.
The escorts he carries are all compulsorily arranged, and there is no problem at all for him to move around freely.
Benjamin got into the reinforced bulletproof car, and the thick glass made him feel sad.
Moreover, the car in front opened the way and the car behind protected them, and the three cars drove towards the new urban area.
After two years of development, the new district has replaced part of the commercial functions of the old city.
More reasonable planning will allow capital to continue to flow in and provide more luxurious services.
Daxia has never had a law requiring officials to be poor. In fact, officials from aristocratic backgrounds were not very poor.
A technology master like Herner even enjoys a share of the project. Although the proportion is very low, the amount accumulated is not a small amount.
What's more, he basically has no place to spend money, and all his food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided by the state.
It just so happened that the place where the party was held in the evening happened to be near the hotel where Benjamin lived.
Just when he was about to say something to show off, he heard Herner pointing to the building opposite and saying, "Did you see it? This is Alex's newly opened industry. He made some money in the machinery factory in the past few years. In the past few years, everything has been done." Throw it into real estate, I don’t know what the use is of hoarding so much property?”
Hener complained. When the car stopped, he opened the door first and jumped out.
A familiar handsome middle-aged man was standing at the door to greet him. When Benjamin saw that person's face, some sad memories came to his mind.
"Alex!"
Herner hugged Alex. It seemed that the relationship between the two was very close, much closer than the relationship between their classmates back then.
Alex looked at Benjamin. He learned that Benjamin was back, but he didn't really have any idea. They were not familiar with each other back then, and they have no friendship now.
But Hener is a warm-hearted person and has always regarded himself as the old monitor of the class. He must give this face.
The Third Mechanical Research Institute of the Daxia Empire is the leader in related fields, and he must carefully maintain this relationship line.
In fact, he had already found out the general situation of Benjamin in one afternoon.
The official has indeed canceled the wanted order. It seems that there is another hidden reason for what happened back then.
But among the classmates now, Benjamin is the worst offender, but his overseas connections deserve some attention.
Although he didn't think much of Benjamin in his heart, Alex still greeted him very warmly: "Old classmate, you have been missing these years, and everyone cares about you very much. Don't leave when you come back this time. With our help, we will definitely be able to To give you a foothold.”
The first half of this sentence is false, but the second half is true.
No matter how much classmate friendship there is, if everyone helps, even a pig can fly.
Among those who graduated from the mechanical class back then, there were already people who were in politics and were senior officials at the department and bureau level. He was not the only one who was in business with a fortune of tens of millions, and those who were engaged in technology were all technology masters and project leaders.
Anyone who cares about him can keep Benjamin alive.
Everyone stretches out their hands and becoming a millionaire is just around the corner.
Alex showed his strength by mentioning everyone's current situation intentionally or unintentionally on the way.
Benjamin was disliked back then and always talked about his aristocratic bloodline. In fact, he was just an enemy who died in the founding war. If the empire had not been tolerant, he would never have had the chance to study in university.
Now that he got the chance, he didn't mind making Benjamin feel aggrieved.
Therefore, people like Hener are in the minority, and they have classmates, but they will never become widespread.
Benjamin really felt uncomfortable. When he left, he felt that these classmates were from ordinary backgrounds but were better than him, and he was extremely depressed.
Now that he sees everyone doing better than him, it seems that the choice he made back then was wrong, let alone how uncomfortable he feels.
When we arrived at the specially reserved box, there were already five or six people waiting, but Herner and Benjamin were the last to arrive.
Everyone faces Herner with enthusiasm from the bottom of their hearts.
When Benjamin arrived, it was obvious that his concern was superficial.
Benjamin felt aggrieved, but he had to endure it.
He had a very uncomfortable meal. Although he was nominally the protagonist, everyone was talking about industry development and business layout. They often talked about breakthrough technologies and investment plans of millions of gold coins. Benjamin looked confused when he heard this.
After being away from Daxia for ten years, although his knowledge structure could barely keep up with the mainstream in the market, he couldn't get involved in such a specialized and cutting-edge discussion.
What made him most uncomfortable was that even Alex, who had lost his major to go into business, could keep up with the rhythm and express his opinions from time to time.
A group of people sitting together are like people from two worlds.
Benjamin, who originally thought he was doing well, was dumbfounded now.
Obviously no one was against him, and Hener even frequently pulled him to join in the chat, but he just felt an invisible class.
Just like when he looked up to the new empire, he felt despair and resentment.
Fortunately, it is not without gain. Even if everyone is just pretending, they have also provided some opportunities for cooperation. This is a good job that no outsider can ask for.
When he returned to the hotel opposite, Benjamin was silent all the way, feeling depressed again.
Sanger, who heard that Benjamin was back, had just arrived and saw a depressed Benjamin slumped on the sofa.
He knew immediately that he was being stimulated.
Instead of forcing Benjamin, he personally lit a cigar for him.
Benjamin was silent for a long time, and finally said suddenly: "I want to stay in Daxia."
Sanger was shocked. Although this traitor had no morals, he was really capable and was the best mechanic he could find.
"What's the matter? Is the salary not enough? I'll give you a raise." Sanger hurried to retain him.
It's not easy to find such a reliable worker. As a qualified capitalist, he must exploit the labor of this traitor.
To deal with a traitor, it is the worst strategy to turn against him directly. The best strategy is to constantly exploit him and let him make money for you.
However, Benjamin resisted the temptation this time. It's true that he loves money, but the money Sanger gives him now is not as good as the money his classmates give him.
People like him have no friendship with classmates, and they can hide jealousy in their hearts and have no psychological burden for betrayal.
As long as he can make money and climb up, he doesn't mind being a clown and providing emotional value for his classmates.
Sanger was dumbfounded. His tried-and-true money method was useless today.
He really couldn't bear to part with Benjamin, a tool man. How much money he made for him over the years was simply a cash cow!
After trying all kinds of temptations like money and beautiful women to no avail, Sanger made up his mind and said, "You can stay, but I want to take half of your business."
Benjamin looked at his former boss sarcastically. Why?
