Tony also came over at this time. Just now, he was the one who went to negotiate with the construction workers, mainly to find out who they were and what they were here to do.
"Boss! These people were hired by Gaotai Table to build an underground base for them! They plan to build this place into a comprehensive facility. Damn it, these bastards have long wanted to get rid of us and go it alone!"
Tony said angrily.
This place was completely discovered by Gao Tai Table himself, and everything bypassed the Beggar King. Obviously, they did not intend to let the Beggar King participate in the construction of the Continental Hotel, let alone hand over the management of the Continental Hotel to the Beggar King.
When the Beggar King was working under Gaotai Desk, his direct boss was Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel. Winston is a very charming old man. He wears a three-piece suit every day and either sits in a bar or in a large office. He is a stylish one!
To be honest, the Beggar King would like to be that kind of person, respected by everyone, elegant and timeless. At the same time, even a look can make people shudder. Even if he never says any uncomfortable words, a single word can make people obey involuntarily.
It's so fucking awesome.
So when he had no choice but to cooperate with Gao Tai Desi, he also wanted to win something more for himself. That was his wish to become manager of the Continental Hotel in New York.
The Continental Hotel plays a pivotal role in the entire High Table. They are not as firmly controlled by the headquarters as other branches of the High Table, nor are they just mere tools like killers. They are more like local warlords.
Their respective Continental Hotels are their fiefdoms. As long as they do not violate the iron rules of the high table, they have great autonomy.
Winston was like this back then. He not only controlled the entire New York underground world, but also had his own private power. He also had great prestige among killers. Sometimes he does things without paying any price at all. Because there were too many killers who owed him favors, he just needed to spread the word, and someone would naturally help him get things done.
He could even argue with the Gaotai Table Headquarters for a time. Unless the elder personally spoke, even the twelve seats must give face to the Continental Hotel Manager. They are all local gangsters, and the Twelve Xi family will not have direct contact with specific matters. Specific matters are handled by the mainland hotel managers.
Moreover, they are basically tenured for life. As long as they are not liquidated by the headquarters, they can continue to work. This has led to many managers becoming local snakes themselves.
At the same time, mainland hotel managers also have promotion channels. If they do well, they will be selected by the elders. Become an adjudicator or head of some other institution. For example, the person in charge of the gold coin minting institution at Gaotai Table is a former mainland hotel manager. (Sofia of the Morocco Continental Hotel in the third part was upgraded to this department by her predecessor, who was responsible for the circulation and recycling of gold coins throughout the high table)
This is a pretty important position.
If the high table is willing to take this position, the Beggar King can recognize their sincerity.
But now, the Beggar King has no idea about the construction of the New World Hotel... This shows. High Table had no intention of making him the manager of the Continental Hotel in New York.
No wonder I regretted it so quickly. It turned out that they had no intention of really cooperating with the Beggar King from the beginning.
This is also true.
High Table has its own set of rules, and not just anyone can join their system. A manager of a Continental Hotel must be someone from the High Table system, because only such a person will truly identify with them. rules.
A half-bottled person like the Beggar King clearly used their Gaotai table as a springboard and stepping stone to become the manager of the Continental Hotel. That was equivalent to Gao Tai table lending his strength to the Beggar King and letting him become the manager of the Continental Hotel. It developed its own power, and by then the Continental Hotel in New York was really divided.
The Continental Hotel is not a fool. The current system has created many feudal officials. If you really want a layman like the Beggar King who has become a monk to enter this system, it is equivalent to cultivating a warlord yourself!
Although hotel managers in major mainland China have a very high degree of autonomy, in fact they all come from the high table system. Their roots are in the high table system. Even if they have a little bit of their own little ninety-nine, they dare not really violate it. High table rules.
For example, the heir to the manager of the Gaotai Continental Hotel cannot be passed down from father to son. Once upon a time, Winston’s heir was his deputy Charon (the black man). Charon himself was not Winston’s direct descendant. He was None of them are Americans themselves, but were transferred to New York from other mainland hotels. This kind of personnel transfer happens all the time.
An organization that has existed for hundreds of years and is prosperous. Its level of organization is not comparable to that of an ordinary gang. It is also a transnational organization. If anything goes wrong in terms of the system, the business will be ruined long ago.
So when the Beggar King proposed to take up the position of hotel manager in Mainland China, their cooperation would inevitably end in a falling out.
It's just that the Beggar King is not familiar with it at all...or maybe he thinks he is familiar with the rules of the high table, so he doesn't see it. Thanks to Tony's carefulness, he didn't let the Beggar King overturn.
Tony is attentive and sees through the boss's thoughts.
If these people stay here, it will be a problem. If they don't stay, it will be even more troublesome.
After all, the Pretty Girls Agent Team is not on the same page as them.
"How about... occupying this place? I just saw it, the supporting facilities here are great, much better than our old nest! And the place is big, so many people can fit in!" Tony said.
But the Beggar King shook his head.
Then he found the Pretty Girls Agents.
"Keith, do you want a secret base?"
Keith was stunned, a secret base.
We have one.
But Emma reacted: "You mean here?"
Emma thought about it seriously.
"But here... there is nothing, and it's too dark." Emma was a little moved, but also a little disgusted.
Not to mention the heartbeat, which child can refuse to have a super cool secret base? Even girls can't.
"This place hasn't been built yet, and there are workers here, just let them build it according to your ideas. What's so difficult about this." The Beggar King thought very clearly.
This place can't belong to him.
First of all, this place has been exposed, not only the workers know, but also the Pretty Girls Agents know. This place is no longer safe, and his old nest is well hidden.
Secondly, he can't afford it. This place is too far from his nest. Don't underestimate this problem. His nest has been in business for a long time, and everything is built around the nest. He has built it as solid as a rock. He can't afford to disrupt his entire system for such an unbuilt base. It's not worth it.
Finally, there are these workers. If he is handed over to him, he really doesn't know what to do. These people have become masters.
If it is handed over to the Pretty Girls Agents, there will be no worries. How they deal with it is their business. What does it have to do with him?
So smart.
Tony saw a few little girls whispering and discussing, so he quickly found his boss: "Can it work? Can these little girls handle it?"
"You are worried about the hell! They are really just little girls. Don't forget who their father is? They can't handle it... Kai can't handle it? What are you thinking!"
Tony was stunned. Yes.
He and the Beggar King may find it difficult, but for Kai, isn't this a small problem among small problems?
Money?
Haha, it's not that Tony looks down on his boss. Even if his boss saves money for a lifetime, he can't compare with Kai in financial resources.
Power... that's natural.
What kind of trouble is trouble? Anyway, Tony can't imagine it. What kind of trouble is Kai can't solve.
So he didn't worry.
The sound of their conversation also reached a few girls.
"Yes! Let Dad give the money!!!" Theresa said as a matter of course: "He's rich anyway!"
As a result, she was beaten by Keith.
"What the hell are you thinking! Kai has money, he has money, this is our secret base, if Kai pays, then it is still our secret base?"
Theresa touched her forehead... I think Keith makes sense... Although Theresa looks rebellious, she actually has no opinion at all.
Emma frowned and thought about this matter: "How much money do we need to spend?"
After all, you need to know how much money to solve it.
"It should cost a lot of money." This matter is really hard to calculate, after all, they have no experience. Keith thought about it and said, "I have some savings there, which should be enough."
"How much?" Theresa asked curiously.
They didn't care much about this thing. Most people would never ask others how much money they have.
"Millions."
"Millions?!" Liz was older and knew what millions meant: "How do you have so much money?!"
"I saved it secretly." She didn't say that Kai secretly gave her a lot.
"Millions should be enough, right?" Although Theresa was from a wealthy family, she also knew that millions were a lot. After all, her pocket money was very little. If she wanted more, she would have to do housework. This was set by Raven.
Kai was very generous in this regard.
He felt that whoever spent this money would spend it.
As long as the children didn't gamble or start a business, they would never lose it in their lifetimes. Spend a little... He didn't care much.
But Raven was very strict about this. She wanted to establish their correct economic outlook and not act like they were out of touch with the world.
"Not enough!" Emma was very smart. Although she didn't know how much money the specific project would cost, she knew that millions would definitely not be enough: "Definitely not enough."
So several people found the Beggar King and Tony.
But how could they know.
But aren't there professionals?
So they called an engineer over.
This engineer was tall and strong, and looked very strong, but he was timid, and seemed to be scared. After all, there were not many engineers, and most of them died, and only one was intact. If we don't find him, there will be no one.
But many of the workers thought that this engineer looked so unfamiliar?
But they didn't think much about it, because engineers and construction workers were not in the same group. These construction workers were all laborers that Gaotai Table brought from the rich countries in the Middle East.
Take Saudi Arabia as an example. It is a country with a very hot climate. If it were not for its abundant oil resources, there would probably not be such a large population here. However, Saudi Arabia has attracted a large number of migrant workers with its strong financial resources. According to statistics, there are about 30 million people in the country, of which about 10 million are from India and Pakistan. One-third of Saudi Arabia's labor force comes from foreign countries. Although the government is working hard to clean up illegal foreign workers and requires foreign companies to hire more local Saudi employees, the proportion of foreign workers is still quite high.
These workers are recruited from there.
But the engineer is not, the engineer is found separately by the high table. So the two parties were not originally in the same group.
Now suddenly seeing someone I haven't seen before, although it's strange, I didn't think much about it. They are still panicking now, how can they worry about others?
Soon the engineer came.
"Engineering settlement... This is not our responsibility. We are not responsible for cost accounting. And the wages of workers are not set by us. You suddenly ask me how much money I want... I have no idea at all."
The engineer said a little embarrassedly.
Several people thought it made sense.
But in fact, this is pure bullshit. Engineers refer to people who have the ability to operate, design, manage, and evaluate engineering systems. The title of engineer is usually only used for people who hold a professional degree or equivalent work experience in one of the fields of engineering.
In fact, there are engineers who specialize in cost accounting. Even if they are not the main engineers in this area, they will have a general understanding of the overall cost of the entire project.
Of course, these people don’t understand this aspect at all, so there is no need to expose it.
"How to calculate it? Can you calculate it?"
Emma asked curiously.
She really didn’t have much knowledge in this area.
She planned to go back and learn more about it later.
"I need to see the drawings and the current material quotation before I can calculate it."
"Then let's go together!" Keith was impatient and shouted immediately.
Emma nodded.
The engineer was stunned: "Ah?"
"Oh, don't be afraid, uncle, we are good people, and the group of people who find you to do things are bad guys. We won't hurt you!" Keith thought he was scared and quickly comforted him.
The engineer did seem a little scared.
At least Emma and the others didn't notice anything.
"Okay..."
So the two girls followed the engineer.
The other two children looked around. They were actually very excited and kept enjoying what their secret base would be like.
Liz thought they should build a big garden and swimming pool.
Theresa wanted her own home theater and home music room.
As a result, they waited and waited, but no one came back, and then they realized that something was wrong!
