Blackstone Code Chapter 1392: Gossip and warm winter
The Duncan family business...
Not legal after all.
At a time when the world is de-slaving and starting to respect human rights, there are still people capturing slaves, domesticating slaves, and selling, abusing and even killing slaves. These businesses are not only illegal in various countries, but also condemned by the whole society .
But it is the core industry of the Duncan family!
Some people do horrible things and become addicted.
Sociologists have discussed the issue of grading power to better observe the interaction between power and social structure.
Of course, what we need to understand is not how power plays its special role in the social structure, but simply the hierarchy of power.
A feature of high power is that it can take the life of its own kind without any reason.
Those tyrants and dictators throughout history and even today are like that, they are obsessed with the thrill of this high power.
But it's not just tyrants, dictators like it, some well-dressed, glamorous high society celebrities like it too.
Maybe at first they might have been... careless, like accidentally killing someone while getting pleasure through abuse, but they find that the thrill of killing one's own kind is significantly stronger than simple harm, and they get addicted.
Any indulgent desire will eventually lead to destruction. These people can't kill people casually, but they can pass the Duncan family, in a secret location, occasionally spend money, or through other means of exchange, Get such a thrill!
Barbaric and terrible!
The international community is still civilized after all. These people hide behind the scenes and use some other means to get what they need.
There is no more suitable target than "Missing Persons", and these missing persons are still from Nagalil.
The Duncan family has dozens of slave capture teams in Nagalil. These people do not capture slaves every day. They will screen the targets they can reach according to the orders of some customers and some detailed requirements. .
They will look at those candidates, find the right one to grab him/her/it, tie a nice bow with ribbon after some domestication, put it in a box, and give it to their client!
Other than that, various flesh factories - the word sounds cruel, but it's actually pretty accurate.
Low wages, no security, and high risk make workers in these factories without any security.
Some goods and production processes that have been banned in the Federation have been reproduced in Nagalil.
With some collaboration between the Duncan family and the medical group, every year a large number of people are sent from their hands to all over the world and then disappear silently.
There used to be some rumors like rumors that the Duncan family was hidden behind the largest flesh business in the Federation.
In fact, the skin and flesh business has entered the first step in the Federation. It seems to be very inconspicuous. In fact, the profits brought by these businesses every year are not lower than the annual income of the big consortium.
There have been many rumors about the Duncan family, who have been standing in the past, but this time, the situation has become more subtle.
Some ideological confrontation between father and son at the dinner table ended when Mr. Geruno's son bowed his head.
This "child" in his forties is not actually a simple person, and he knows very well that some things cannot be exposed.
It's just that he doesn't think it's the workers' union that doesn't even need to give face to a dog.
Mr. Geruno could not have had such a confrontation with his son on this small issue, but some people in the family have recently expressed anxiety or other situations, which made him have to pay attention.
He had to show that as long as he didn't fall, the family wouldn't fall.
Seeing his son bowed his head, he also withdrew his sharp eyes and continued to enjoy its roasted venison.
"The infiltrating power of the workers' union is too strong. When a person gets real benefits through the workers' union, his experience will spread like a virus."
"There are so many things over there that we can't see. Maybe it didn't affect us very much in the past, but now, we have to hide them."
"Some factories, temporarily shut down first, we don't lack this money..."
"As for..."
Mr. Geruno paused for a while, "Several medical companies, tell them, we don't want samples to be circulated!"
The medical group is actually a big customer of the Duncan family, and the federal government has many strict regulations in the medical field.
In the past, the medical group recruited many patients suffering from certain diseases in the name of "free trial special drugs" and directly conducted clinical trials.
There have been several major accidents, and a large number of patients participating in clinical trials of new drugs have suffered serious complications and even death, and the federal government has issued relevant regulations.
These drugs can only be used on humans in small batches after obtaining the approval of the Federal Food and Medical Safety Administration on the basis of the safety results of multiple animal tests.
And they have to promise to give the experimenters the greatest security, including but not limited to rescue anytime, anywhere, and follow-up medical treatment.
This greatly improves the cycle for medical groups to develop new drugs, and with the increasingly stringent requirements of the Federal Food and Drug Administration for new drug development, the cost of development is also increasing.
But in this world, there is never only one way, which is why the medical group cooperates with the Duncan family.
In a backward place like Nagalil, there are some very advanced, but not well-known medical laboratories, and they are definitely not trying to find inspiration from the magic formula of the Nagalil people.
They are here just to facilitate various experiments.
The Duncan family provides them with suitable and inexpensive samples, which are like caged guinea pigs, or orangutan monkeys or something.
They are used efficiently and then discarded.
The data obtained from these people can help local medical groups save a lot of money and shorten the development cycle. Therefore, the Duncan family has a very deep relationship with medical groups, and is even one of the shareholders of these medical groups.
Mr. Jeruno means that he doesn't want any test subjects to leave those institutions alive.
He took a sip of light wine, rinsed his mouth, and spit it out.
After removing those wine stains, oil, or blood from his lips, Mr. Geruno looked at his son, "We have some problems now, and the first thing we need to do as core members of the family is to be cautious. to deal with every problem we encountered.”
"Instead of being blindly arrogant and thinking that nothing can break us."
"Save these emotions until we've dealt with this trouble, for now, all we need is be careful!"
Mr. Geruno has been feeling that pressure during this time. He is a good friend of the Conservative Party committee chairman and the Progressive Party committee chairman, but recently he called and wanted to ask them out for a chat alone. Everyone said they didn't have much time.
It's only **** September, it's not the end of the year, it's not an election year, they may have time from morning to night, but only by their own invitations have no time, which is actually quite telling.
As for Mr. President, in Mr. Geruno's view, it is just a seat that anyone can sit on, so Mr. President's weight may not be as big as people think.
During this time, he has also been looking for the problem, what is causing some things to start to spiral out of control, but there is still no clue. He always feels that there is a force pushing certain things to an end that he does not like.
So at this time, any problem should be taken seriously.
He doesn't think the Duncan family will fall in this storm, it's just a small challenge, like it's been countless times before!
The weather in September has been a little cooler, and meteorologists believe the weather will get worse this winter, which has also led to some "winter escapees" in northern cities.
This is according to the media, these people will travel to the south for the winter, and then return to the north after the winter is over.
This also makes the northern cities particularly bleak in winter, and many factories will be shut down because of this.
"There has been a proposal to establish a winter security system to ensure that people can live in winter."
"Otherwise, the situation of fleeing winter will become more and more serious, and it is possible that some cities will gradually disappear."
Mr. Truman handed a document to Mr. President, and the two were sitting in Mr. President's office chatting about some official business.
In fact, the low temperature is not the biggest problem. The biggest problem is that people lack cold-resistant materials in extremely freezing weather.
Now some people leave the North ~IndoMTL.com~ and never go back.
You can find jobs in the South, and it's not so cold in winter, so why go back to the North and suffer?
All classes are fleeing, and big companies are facing shortages of personnel. With the help of capitalists, the local government and citizens came up with some ideas after research and discussion.
Mr. President scratched his head after reading the document, "They want the government to heat it?"
"That doesn't sound easy to do."
In fact, this plan has also been discussed in Congress. If the weather temperature continues to drop, the northern winter will become a nightmare for people.
But you can't lose the north, which is rich in mineral resources, including one of the largest oil fields in the Commonwealth.
If work in the North were to shut down completely during the winter, the supply of raw materials across the Commonwealth would be greatly affected.
In order to maintain the stability of some raw materials from the north, in order to ensure the problem of oil supply and price stability, someone proposed a "warm winter" plan.
