743 Chapter 781: the Huo Family!
Miami Beach:
An elderly Chinese man was lying on a beach, wearing a pair of sexy pink shorts. He was leisurely drinking sweet fruit juice as he looked at the boys and girls playing on the beach in the distance.
However, if one looked carefully, they would find a very strange phenomenon. The beach where the elderly man was at was almost 50 meters away from them. There was no one around. It was as if they were separated by space.
Many people might subconsciously think that this was a virtual scene, because many old men liked to play this kind of casual virtual game. However, this was not the case. In fact, upon closer inspection, one would discover that near the vacuum area where the old man was at… In the dark, there were bodyguards standing upright and solemnly guarding this area. Clearly, this old man had forcibly occupied an area on this lively beach… …
This kind of thing was actually very common here. In a capital country, the happiness of the rich was doubled! !
A few minutes later, a man wearing a white shirt slowly walked into the vacuum zone. The man had a thin figure, and the outline of his face was clearly the same as that of the old man’s. His facial features were quite similar to that of the old man’s.
However, the difference in temperament was very big. The young man had a serious look on his face, and his serious expression was in stark contrast to the relaxed old man in the pink shorts.
“Old Man…”the man helplessly took the juice from the old man’s hand. “The Doctor said that your blood sugar is not suitable to continue drinking this kind of juice with sugar…”
The old man immediately pouted. “You’re even more in charge than mom. I’m already so old, so what if I want to eat and drink freely?”
The man was unmoved. “It’s because you’re already so old that you have to take care of your body. You’re not the same as when you were young…”
The old man frowned. “That’s why the world doesn’t make sense. When you were young, you said that young people should endure hardships and not think about pleasure. Otherwise, the old man would be sad. But when it’s time to enjoy pleasure, your body won’t be able to enjoy it. Don’t you think that’s a contradiction?”
The man was silent. He knew that the old man was trying to lead the conversation to that topic again… …
Seeing that the old man did not reply, the old man did not mind. He continued, “That’s why I said that a person’s life is too short… so short that he can’t even enjoy the fruits of his labor. This is really a sad thing…”
The corner of the man’s eyes twitched. Even if he did not reply, did the old man intend to change the topic?
“The application result was a failure again, right?”The old man asked unhurriedly.
The man looked at the old man. Although the old man looked as if he had expected this, he could still see that the old man’s muscles were a little tense. Obviously, he was not as casual as he looked on the surface.
He knew the answer the old man really wanted to hear, but there was nothing he could do. Some things could not be done just because he wanted to.
“Well… it failed…”the man said honestly.
The old man pursed his lips and did not speak for a long time…
The man was silent as he waited for the old man to slowly absorb the bad news. He knew that it was not easy. Every time, the old man was mentally prepared, but every time he got this result, he would be depressed for more than half a month.
The Huo Group had been in the United States for more than sixty years. They had worked hard for many years, and their family business had penetrated many fields in the United States. They even had considerable power in the political world, they had worked together with many families to become two presidents, three federal judges, and many governors of California and Texas.
They could be considered the most powerful Chinese people in the United States in the past half a century.
However, they were still Chinese…
In this land of white people, they had never been able to penetrate the most core field!
One of the so-called core fields was firearms, and the other was genetic experiments!
This was especially true for the latter. Over the years, the old man had participated in the bidding process almost every single time… “…”. However, he had never been able to obtain a single seat.
Genetic experiments were the most core resources controlled by the various large families in America over the past hundred years. It was related to the strongest violent organization in America, the Extraordinary Corps! This was an organization that burned through money. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was America’s largest treasury. However, every year, there were still a large number of families that would fight tooth and nail to obtain a spot.
There were two reasons for this. The first was the protection of military power. Those who obtained seats could choose their own people to participate in the experiment every year. After the experiment was successful, they could join the extraordinary corps to further strengthen themselves, of course, the orders and missions within the extraordinary corps usually had to be carried out. However, in private, it could be considered as the private military power of this organization!
The second reason was the sharing of genetic results. Back then, the purpose of this genetic experiment was to create biological weapons. The second reason was to think of ways to extend the lifespan of the rich through genetic research. For many capitalists.., the latter was actually more important.
After all, who would be willing to watch themselves grow old day by day with so much wealth and power in their hands, and then leave their huge wealth to the son of the next-door neighbor, Old Wang?
Grandfather Huo had been fighting for a spot since 15 years ago. In terms of strength and funds, the Huo Corporation was qualified. Unfortunately, grandfather Huo was of Chinese descent, and even though he had changed his nationality, he was still excluded from the core resources, he was still excluded from the core resources by the group of white people who controlled the resources of the upper class.
The bidding for the genetic experiment spot was held once every four years. At his age… … He might not be able to wait for the next four years. …
The man looked at his father’s pale hair and skin that was like old tree bark. His heart was silent… …
After a long while, he decided to break the silence by himself, so, he thought of a more comforting topic and said, “Just now, Smith called and said that if the old man is willing to support him to participate in the election, he is willing to push the old man to get the spot after he takes the position…”
The old man sneered when he heard that. “Last time, Nobufus and Little Orr said the same thing…”
The man lowered his head in silence. The old man was talking about the president that his family had once supported.
“Forget it, let’s contact him. I’ll go to Boston this weekend. Let’s talk there…”
The man looked at the old man. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say. Actually, many people knew that in order to get support for the old man, these politicians liked to paint a big cake for the old man. But reality proved that these guys were unable to cash in… …
However, the old man still did not seem to believe it…
Forget it… … If the old man liked it, then let him be. After all, people.. … It was better to have some hope than despair… …
Just as he was thinking, the old man suddenly opened his mouth and asked, “How’s the investigation on Yang Rui Going?”
The man was stunned, and his expression became a little unpleasant. He had seen this guy, Yang Rui, before. He was relatively close to his second brother. At first, he admired that young man in his heart. However, he did not expect that there would be times when he had misjudged him, that guy actually used the old man’s knot in his heart to swindle resources!
What alien genetic experiments? Why didn’t you say that you discovered the ancient immortal cultivation realm?
If it wasn’t for the old man’s mood, he would have dared to use the old man like this. Hehe… … He would have thrown him into the sea to feed the Sharks!
“Huh?”The old man saw his eldest son looking back at him after a long time of silence.
The man sighed and said softly, “There’s still no news…”
“What about Xiaolong?”The old man continued to ask.
“Xiaolong…”the man frowned and appeared to be a little hesitant.
Xiaolong was his fourth brother. The old man had secretly sent him to investigate the player that Yang Rui had mentioned a few days ago. Initially, he had not taken it seriously at first. Instead, he had supported it, after all, secretly sending someone to investigate on behalf of the old man should also be suspicious of Yang Rui’s words.
However…
The news that Xiaolong had sent over recently was not quite right. Should I tell the old man?
