Let them offer their loyalty

"Why do you have to come here in person? Wouldn't it be better to let your subordinates do this kind of thing?"

The street reflected the neon lights on both sides, and the girl in the bowler hat spoke in a low voice to the man beside her.

The latter just smiled and said:

"Some things can only be done in person to show sincerity. Besides, I am more familiar with this kind of place than they are."

Hearing this, the girl's cheeks flushed a little, as if she was thinking of what happened when she first came to the Flower Street. She seemed to be a little annoyed by Jonas's shamelessness, and said:

“I don’t think this is anything to brag about.”

The one wearing the bowler hat is naturally Miss Su Lingqing... After a little disguise, the girl is now very different from her original appearance. Miss Beigong looks more heroic at this moment, and after putting on the bowler hat, her sharpness is somewhat restrained.

She did not wear the maid outfit Jonas gave her. One reason was that wearing a maid outfit in a place like this would attract more attention... Another reason was the purpose of this trip. When discussing business, the identity of a "secretary" would always be easier to ignore than that of a "maid."

The role currently played by Miss Su Lingqing is Jonas' secretary.

"That's not necessarily true." Jonas blinked and didn't say much.

However, Su Lingqing heard the hidden meaning behind the other party's words. Her ears turned redder and she turned her head away, ignoring what the other party said.

"Okay, here we are."

Jonas held his cane and looked towards a building not far away.

The two of them were now standing in the middle of the street, Jonas's attire looked slightly disguised, with a suit and a cane. If he had added a monocle, he would have been able to complete the capitalist fetters, and he would have been hung directly on the street lamp.

Su Lingqing looked towards the building not far away. It was located almost in the center of the Yinhua Street District and occupied a large area. The girl couldn't help but frowned and said:

"Auction venue?"

"To be precise, it's a slave market."

Jonas opened his mouth to correct her, but he seemed to think that there was no point in correcting her. He shook his head and changed the subject, asking:

"Ms. Beigong, how long do you think those Huacheng people can stay in the slums without any support?"

Hearing this, Su Lingqing hesitated for a moment and said:

"Two months?"

Jonas smiled and gave the correct answer:

"Six days."

"The administrative department of District 25 only cares about their survival, but not their fate...Without any support, how do you think the gangs in the slums will deal with these fat sheep?"

Su Lingqing understood why the other party came here.

In a place like District 25, there is no human rights protection and these people will most likely end up having their prosthetics or body organs sold.

Those who are unlucky will most likely lose half their lives and wait to die in the slums.

If you are lucky, you might be sold to a place like a slave market... No matter what the end will be, at least you won't die in a stinking ditch in the short term.

This is also the reason why Jonas came to the Yinhua District. If there is any place in the 25th District where there are more Huacheng people, it is undoubtedly here.

"Do you want to buy them here?" After a moment's silence, Su Lingqing asked.

Hearing the other party's question, Jonas just smiled and did not answer the other party. He just said:

"Go and have a look first."

.................................................. ...................

The decoration inside the venue is quite grand, and it is hard to imagine that this is a place where human trafficking takes place.

As one of the most "profitable" businesses, the department responsible for managing the Yinhua Street District is naturally in collusion with the "businessmen" in charge of this area.

Human trafficking is not considered a formal industry in District 25, but rather a gray area, so large financial groups generally do not directly participate in such matters. Most of those involved in this business are gangs that are not considered respectable.

Although human trafficking brings huge profits, the upper limit is too low and the risks are also very high, so the consortiums in District 25 usually act directly as "buyers". Although there is some involvement, it is not much.

Including here, there are also shadows of several consortiums behind it. Jonas had investigated the situation here long before he came. After all, in a sense, he did not come to discuss business, but to ruin things.

"Hello, this way please..Do you need me to take you to the VIP area to rest?"

As soon as I stepped through the door, a man dressed as a waiter came up to me.

Everyone who works here is very discerning. Su Lingqing standing behind Jonas doesn't look like an ordinary person at first glance. Based on their previous understanding, this kind of person is definitely a big customer.

Most likely he is a businessman who will sign some big contract with the venue. After all, people dressed like this who come to the slave market are usually here to purchase laborers.

"Sir, please allow me to introduce this place to you..."

The waiter led the way and spoke with a hint of pride in his tone:

"This is the Yinghua Business Center, and it is also the largest chip trading market in the entire 25th District.. You can buy almost all the labor you want here."

It is said to be a chip trading market, but in fact it is a human trading market. This kind of thing naturally cannot be discussed openly. In any case, even if it is related to the interests of District 25, human trading is still a gray area.

But when Su Lingqing heard the waiter's words of introduction, she frowned slightly, revealing a hint of imperceptible disgust.

Jonas remained calm and followed the waiter to a VIP room. The waiter brought Jonas into the room, bowed slightly, and said:

"Our manager will be here later. Please wait for a moment. I will prepare the information for you."

As he said this, he walked out the door and then closed it.

...................................................................

Hearing the waiter's footsteps gradually walking away, Su Lingqing exhaled, looked at Jonas beside him, and asked:

"What are you going to do next?"

"Sit back and wait."

"Are you really going to buy those Huacheng people...?"

Su Lingqing said this, hesitated for a moment, and finally said what he really thought:

"I think this won't help the current situation... You can't save everyone, and this is also a big burden for the Alt Foundation."

Or it could be said that it was a burden that the Alte Group could not bear at the moment... You know, there were no less than three digits of people from Huacheng in this venue alone.

Even if all the people in Huacheng were bought, it would still be a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of people in Huacheng that were deceived. The internal influence on the outside was very limited, unless Jonas bought all the people in Huacheng.. Not to mention the credit points needed to do so. The time and energy required to absorb them alone would be a heavy burden for the Alte Consortium.

From an emotional point of view, Su Lingqing didn't want to see these people being squeezed dry of their value and oppressed like animals.

But from a rational point of view, Su Lingqing felt that what Jonas did was not worth the cost. Even if he could really save people, how many people could he save?

Hearing this, Jonas did not say anything. He just looked silently at the corner of the room, looked at Su Lingqing, and shook his head.

Seeing this, Su Lingqing immediately understood what the other party's gesture meant.

There were surveillance cameras in the room, and the other party did not want to reveal his purpose for the time being. Su Lingqing closed her mouth tacitly and glanced at the place Jonas had just pointed to without making any expression.

In an extremely inconspicuous corner, an undetectable pinhole camera is recording everything that happens in the room.

With Su Lingqing's insight, the fact that he did not notice the camera in the room was enough to show how hidden it was.

The cameras were set up so secretly that it was obviously not for any good purpose.

If it weren't for Jonas's ridiculously sharp perception, she might not have discovered the camera hidden in the room until now.

Thinking of this, Su Lingqing just pursed her lips, stood aside, said nothing more, and began to try hard to play the role of a secretary.

Although she didn't know what Jonas wanted to do specifically, she could probably guess that things were not what she expected.

In this case, let's take a look at how things develop.

............................................................

On the other side, the waiter who led Jonas into the VIP room walked through the aisle and came to a room without a sign.

He knocked on the door gently, and it opened automatically. Standing behind the door was a middle-aged man who looked somewhat wealthy.

There was a sign that said "Manager" on his chest. When the waiter saw the middle-aged man, he quickly stepped forward and spoke in a suppressed voice:

"manager!"

"what happens?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"I caught a fat sheep today. It must have come from the wilderness."

When the waiter said this, he looked a little excited. Seeing that the middle-aged man was interested in him, he coughed and added:

"From the looks of them, although you can't tell from their appearance, the artificial eye that man is using should be the Phipps IV experimental version. He is also accompanied by a secretary whose depth is unclear. They are most likely from the Federation and are unfamiliar with this place... The manager should not have received any news that any important person is coming today."

The middle-aged man heard this and became thoughtful.

Anyone who comes here and has a certain status in District 25 can book a room in advance before arriving. If they need anything, they can just give a call and the people from the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce will send them directly to their territory.

For those who need to come here by themselves, it is likely that they don’t know many people in District 25.

Businessmen like this who have a certain net worth but do not have many connections in District 25 are collectively referred to as "fat sheep" by the British-Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

Because promotion in the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce depends not only on qualifications, but also on the value created for the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

"Fat sheep" like this are the best way to create value for the Chamber of Commerce.

How much benefit you can get from these people depends on your own performance. Of course, if you annoy them because of this kind of thing, the Yinghua Chamber of Commerce will not support you.

This kind of unspoken rule, once exposed, is purely the personal behavior of the employees, and the British Chinese Chamber of Commerce will not be held responsible for it.

After all, this so-called chamber of commerce is essentially a "gang".

The middle-aged man stopped thinking, raised his head, and asked:

"Which room are they in?"

"VIP Room 308"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man walked to his computer and prepared to check the surveillance footage of 308.

The result is just a snowy screen.

He couldn't help but frowned:

"Why did it break down at this time?"

"never mind."

He stood up and said to the waiter in front of him:

"Take me to Room 308, I will personally entertain this 'fat sheep'."

.............................

About five minutes later, the middle-aged man stood in front of the door.

He knocked on the door and tried his best to put on a friendly smile.

It's not easy to see a fat sheep, especially such a fat sheep with a high value. If he performs well, he might take advantage of this incident to get promoted.

——Click.

The sound of the door unlocking brought him back to his senses.

However, when he looked inside the door, the smile on his face froze.

Then, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his body began to shake uncontrollably like a sieve.

................................................................

PS: I feel that the main storyline has been progressing too slowly during this period.

I'll try to speed up the plot.

Chapter 337: Crazy Xiao Su? But it seems Mr. Jonas is even crazier.

The middle-aged manager's name is Sandy Kunril. He is one of the earliest members of the Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce. When the business community was still a "gang", he was already a small leader.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a veteran of the Anglo-Chinese Chamber of Commerce. After all, the format of the chamber of commerce is that several managers control different resources, half of the power is in the hands of their subordinates, and the other half is in the hands of the president of the chamber of commerce.

People like Sandy naturally knew about Jonas Weting a long time ago... He developed an unknown small company into a behemoth that the entire 25th District could not ignore in the shortest time. You know, more than a year ago, the other party's biggest title was just the identity of "heir to the Weting Group", and in less than a year, the Weting Group had been swallowed up by him.

At this time, Jonas had taken off his disguise and his eyes fell on the screen in front of him. He seemed to be deaf to the words of the visitor, which put great psychological pressure on the middle-aged manager.

"Are you Mr. Jonas Wetting?"

The middle-aged man asked under pressure, and in his heart he had already cursed the waiter who gave him the information countless times.
