Before setting off, Danny asked Heo whether they should really capture them all.

In response, He Ao stated that...

'Catch them all in one fell swoop'.

These people are actually the biggest parasites in the group. They consider themselves "royal relatives" and believe that they are the masters of the group. They recklessly break the rules, practice nepotism, and embezzle assets.

They are numerous, but not many enough to cripple the entire group.

There are a large number of capable people from the lower classes who are ready to take their place at any time.

Over the years, because Vian had never made a statement, Danny had never taken any action against these people. However, in fact, the old butler knew exactly who the capable people under them were and who could step in when problems arose.

“You’ve gone mad. You’re paving the way for your own destruction. You’re not far from your demise. Just watch, I’ll be back soon.”

Just as the old butler reached the first floor, Jamie was being escorted downstairs by two FBI agents.

He glared at the old butler and roared, "The company doesn't belong to Nolanca, nor to you, Danilo. It belongs to all of us. You have no right to do this. I'll be back soon."

The agent next to him

Unable to bear his howling any longer, I took an electronic gag and plugged his mouth.

Danny calmly watched Jamie being forced into the FBI vehicle, then slowly walked to the door.

People walked past him, and he looked up at the vast sky.

As darkness fell, dark clouds gathered.

It is going to rain.

-

Jack finished his day's work and struggled to push open the door to his home.

Unexpectedly, Annie didn't come to greet him today, and as soon as he opened the door, he smelled the rich aroma of roasted chicken.

Is there something going on today?

Jack looked at his wife, who was bringing the roast chicken to the table, with some confusion. He thought for a moment and said, "Your birthday? Annie's birthday? Annie's birthday is still a long way off. Isn't your birthday the week after next?"

"Of course there's good news! Ta-da!"

Aisha smiled and walked up to her husband, showing him a document from her bracelet.

"what is this?"

Jack looked at the document with a puzzled expression.

"Approved!" Aisha exclaimed with a smile. "The discount we applied for today has been approved!"

"So fast?"

Jack was somewhat shocked.

“That’s right, after all, I prepared all the materials,” Aisha blinked, looking like she was taking credit. “Several of my colleagues were sent back and asked to provide additional materials.”

"Haha, my wife is amazing."

Jack reached out and put his arm around his wife's waist.

"Keep your movements small."

Elsa reached out and slapped her husband's hand, then pointed to the sofa next to them. Annie, who was holding a book, stared wide-eyed at her father.

Jack awkwardly withdrew his hand.

Aisha carried her bewildered daughter to a seat, tore off a large chicken leg for her, and then slowly said, "I took Annie to kindergarten today. The teacher said that the spring semester is about to start, so we can wait until then to go. I got Annie a few early childhood education books to read first."

"So how much of a discount did we get?"

Jack asked curiously.

“We’re a dual-income family,” Aisha said with a smile, seeing her husband’s curiosity piqued. “With all the discounts and reductions, we got a 35% discount. The cost was originally 135 Federal Dollars per week, but now it’s only 87 Federal Dollars!”

"It's so much cheaper?"

Jack was somewhat surprised.

“That’s not all,” Aisha blinked, seeing her husband’s exaggerated expression. “The apartment we’re living in now is also owned by the Nolanca Group. The discount for this apartment has been approved. We got a 25% discount on the rent and management fees. The original rent of 470 federal dollars per week is now only 352!”

"Ahem..."

Jack, who was eating roast chicken, almost choked. He looked at Elsa in shock, "So cheap? Really?"

This means we can save on our daughter's tuition and even have a few dozen federal dollars more.

“Of course it’s true,” Aisha said with a smile to her husband. “I just checked with the apartment manager, and starting next week, our bills will be calculated based on the discounted price.”

Jack was so shocked he was speechless. The weekly rent and management fees had suddenly decreased by more than a hundred federal dollars, which was no small amount.

It took him a while to react, looking at his wife smiling.

Ying's cheeks flushed. "So, does that mean we'll suddenly have over a hundred Federal Credits more next week?"

Annie won't be in school next week, which means the rent reduction of over 100 federal dollars this week is pure savings.

As his wife nodded, Jack pondered for a moment and said softly, "Didn't you take a liking to that gold necklace that cost 99 federal dollars last month?"

"You've just saved up a little money, and you already want to spend it, huh?"

Elsa pouted, "Go see the doctor about your chronic stomach problem next week. I've already made an appointment. Your health insurance should cover it..."

Jack looked at his wife's tender gaze, paused, and said, "Then Annie won't be going to school the week after next either."

"You!"

Elsa chuckled.

Annie, who was gnawing on a chicken leg with her face covered in oil, looked up in confusion, wondering why her parents had suddenly started talking about her.

Jack gently patted his daughter's head.

"Life is getting better."

"Yes."

Elsa nodded gently.

"Speaking of which, isn't the mayoral election in Dawn City tomorrow?"

Jack turned his head and looked at his wife.

Why are you suddenly asking this?

"It's nothing, I just remembered that we still have two ballots issued by the municipal government in our bag, but we're no longer in Dawn City."

Who did you want to vote for at the time?

"Hmm? Christos, I think he can make our lives better."

“Me too, but it seems that what we hoped Christos could do, Mr. Vian here has done.”

"Um···"

-

He Ao lay back on the sofa, with a huge projection screen in front of him.

At the very center of the screen stood a handsome man in a silver suit, amidst a sea of ​​people, a smile on his face.

"Good evening, everyone."

A roar of cheers, like a tsunami, erupted.

Christos is about to give his final speech before the election.

Double monthly tickets needed! Please vote!!!

Chapter 239 How does this world 'distribute' wealth?

Lina woke up groggily from the soft bed. She pushed off the covers, struggled to get up, sat on the bed, straightened her clothes, and went to the door.

A maid who had been waiting at the door for a long time led her to the washroom to tidy herself up, and handed her a book as she did so.

"Mr. Vian said he would give you this book."

Lina splashed some water on her face to clear her mind, then took the book from the maid.

After the maid delivered the book, she turned and left, while Lina stared at the book in her hands.

The book itself is a hardcover book with a thick cover, and judging from its age, it seems to have been read many times.

Lina herself doesn't actually have a reading habit; she prefers to look up information online, and at most uses an e-reader to protect her eyes.

But she also knew that much knowledge in this world was only recorded in books.

Her gaze lingered on the title on the book's cover.

How does this world distribute wealth?

The book was written by Joseph Searle and was published ten years ago.

She opened the book and began to read quietly.

······

The book is not thick, and the content is not complicated. The whole book uses various simple and easy-to-understand examples to explain the same problem.

In other words, how does the world distribute wealth?

The author begins by presenting the view that many people believe that hard work will be rewarded, and that the more you do, the more you earn; that the world distributes wealth according to the amount of work done.

But then the author raises a new question: if work brings rewards and the longer you work, the greater the rewards, then why do factory workers who work twelve hours a day often live in poverty?

The author then begins to explain his point of view step by step.

On a small scale, in a workshop, a factory, or a company, wealth is distributed according to the amount of work done. Those who work more hours, do more work, put in more effort, and produce more results receive higher wages than others.

On a larger scale, involving the entire federation, all social classes, and all groups of people, the world's primary distribution rule is based on 'wealth'.

This means that those with more wealth receive more wealth, while those with less wealth are more exploited by those with more wealth.

The wealthy can receive the wealth "tribute" from the less wealthy without doing anything.
