411 Angel Jack (the elder of Chengjiao 110 brothers)
In Pas in April, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, and it’s cool and pleasant
Well, April in Pas is autumn, which should be described as fruitful and fragrant.
Located in the southern hemisphere, The Pas is the capital of Western Australia. It is known as the Black Swan City. It has four distinct seasons, summer from December to February, autumn from March to May, and winter from June to August.
, spring is from September to November.
Pas has a typical Mediterranean climate, with hot and dry summers and relatively mild and rainy winters. Overall, it is a good place to live.
Western Australia is the largest state in Australia. It can truly be said to be vast and sparsely populated. It covers an area of 2.52 million square kilometers, which is about the same size as the entire Western Europe, but has less than 500,000 people.
Most of them are concentrated in Pas.
It is conceivable that in the entire Western Australia, except for The Pas, the situation in other places is very suitable to be described as a deserted and barren land.
Western Australia is rich in natural resources and has a unique geographical location, which gives people living here almost unlimited living space.
The living environment without much pressure has also created the kindness of the Parsi people, and their kindness to others is known to everyone near and far.
In other words, Parsi people are famous for their good temper.
But in 1919, just after the World War, even good tempers could sometimes get angry, so in the Swan River Cafe opposite Pas City Hall, Timothy and Charles looked particularly angry.
I really don't understand why we have to be exploited by those damn London gentlemen and those Irish people in Melbourne. Look, wool tax, inheritance tax, income tax, wartime profits tax, entertainment tax, land tax, tax, tax, tax, tax.
I've had enough of these damn guys trying to squeeze every shilling out of us. The fat Charles was grumbling as soon as he sat down. He drummed his fingers impatiently on the counter, urging the waiter to get him a drink.
.
Charles, you must know how to control your emotions, otherwise it will only increase your troubles. We are not the only ones like this, the entire British Empire is like this, so you shouldn't complain, just do what you have to do. Tall and thin
Timothy was not impatient, smiled at the waiter who brought him rum, and then picked up the cup with two fingers.
Ha, you are not in charge of the Economic Committee, so of course you don’t need to worry, but do you know how worried I am now? I tell you, if this continues, not a single hair on my poor head will be saved. Charles raised his head and drank a cup.
Then urged the waiter for another drink.
That's just right, you can save the cost of a haircut. Timothy chuckled, raised the cup and took a sip.
Damn it, your mouth is still so bad. You should use your mouth to debate with the Labor Party instead of attacking this poor man like me. Charles was dissatisfied. His mouth was like a bottomless pit, and he took another glass when he raised his head.
Sir, for the last glass, the waiter was not impatient and brought the rum that had been prepared.
Hey, Tim, even you want to make trouble for me. You don't know how to respect your elders. I said, how about we discuss it? Timothy can't finish the drink anyway, so give me his share. Charles, hold on tight.
He hit the counter with his fist, making a loud banging sound, and the various cups under the counter jingled together.
Compared with Western Europe, Paz is so small that many people are already very familiar with it, even bartenders and parliamentarians are familiar with it.
Aunt Betty will not agree with you doing this. Tim ignored the dissatisfied Charles and picked up the towel and began to wipe the cup.
Calm down, Charles, anger won't solve the problem. Timothy sighed quietly, having just drank about a quarter of his wine.
How do you want me to calm down? During the World War, we had to serve the British Empire, so we sent almost all the young men, and we had no complaints. But now after the World War, it seems that we have not received any benefits, and we still have to
We advance the young men's pensions ourselves. This is so unreasonable. The London gentlemen only want to blackmail the Germans and have thrown us into the basement water cell in the dark all year round. Charles was reluctant, but he held the cup and did not drink it all.
Instead, put it under your nose, let the rich aroma of wine linger in your nose, and enjoy the happiness of this moment.
Charles knew that since Tim said this was the last drink, it would be the last drink, so if he wanted to keep the feeling of happiness longer, Charles had to delay the enjoyment process.
It can’t be said that we got nothing, at least we got Guinea Island and Solomon Islands, huh, even though those guys in Melbourne sold them again. Timothy also shook his head slightly, not because the federal government sold Guinea Island and Solomon Islands.
Islands, but because those benefits are not shared by Western Australia.
Relatively speaking, Australia is too big, especially Western Australia, where less than one percent of the land has been developed and utilized by people.
So land is the least valuable in Western Australia.
For example, Charles and Timothy, the pastures in their names are measured in hundreds of square kilometers, but less than one-tenth of them are actually used.
Ha, if you sell it, how can you give us even a single pound? Charles was even more dissatisfied.
The current common currency in Australia is the Australian pound, which is equivalent to the pound sterling, but Charles is still accustomed to using pounds sterling.
The federal government also has their difficulties, Charles, you have to understand. Timothy continued to persuade, but his words seemed to have no strength, and even he himself was wavering.
Looks like you all need some help from Angel Jack. Tim rarely interjected.
What the hell is that about Angel Jack? Charles was confused.
Hahaha, Charles, you are behind the times, you don’t even know about Angel Jack. Timothy laughed unceremoniously.
What's the use of knowing who he is? Is he George's illegitimate son? Charles retorted unceremoniously.
The George that Charles refers to is not King George V of England, but another George, British Prime Minister Lloyd George.
In fact, Westerners don't care much about status, so Charles and Timothy can make jokes about George V without restraint, and Tim, a bartender, dares to restrict Charles, who is a member of Parliament, from drinking too much.
This can be regarded as the advantage of the democratically elected government. For the sake of votes, all elected officials should not object to this kind of indifference. Instead, they should actively participate in it and laugh at themselves with ordinary people to show their magnanimity.
Otherwise, it will be very dangerous. Once a politician is labeled as narrow-minded, he will definitely not be able to do well in the next election.
Of course, to a certain extent, this can be regarded as the tragedy of the democratically elected government, because officials have no official power at all. In order to please voters, officials cannot focus on long-term construction, but will focus on immediate interests. In the long run, it will have a negative impact on the local economy.
development is not beneficial.
Hahaha, Charles, that angel Jack may not be George’s illegitimate son, but he must be God’s illegitimate son. Perhaps with a little emotion and envy, Timothy also drank the wine in the glass: Charles, you may not know,
Jack, who came from the North African colony, was just a farmer half a year ago, but that damn United Oil Company somehow took a fancy to Jack's farm, and then offered a big price to buy it from Jack.
He bought his farm. However, Jack knew nothing but growing grapes, so he moved to another place and bought a large farm. Then United Oil came one after another and once again paid an astronomical figure. This time, Jack didn’t have to
He's growing grapes because the money Union Oil paid him will last more than two lifetimes.
Ah, what a legend of getting rich overnight. No wonder people call him Angel Jack. With such good luck, he is indeed the illegitimate son of God.
It's unbelievable. Is there any gold under the ground? Charles was dumbfounded.
No, gold is more valuable than gold. Underneath the land Jack bought twice are oil fields, and they are oil fields with huge reserves. It is said that any of them can be comparable to New Baku. Think about the new United Oil Company
Baku, it's a super oil field that claims to have ten times more underground reserves than Romania's combined. Timothy explained clearly, and his envy was undisguised.
Charles's expression was a little twitching, and he couldn't help but pick up the cup and drink it all: Where is this lucky guy? I'm going to buy land in partnership with him. Oh my God, there's not even a drop left. Oh my god.
The Swan River Cafe suddenly heard howls like ghosts and wolves, followed by Charles's request and Tim's rejection.
It is not a good idea to partner with him now. Some people have already done this, but they lost everything, so this Angel Jack can't survive in Europe now. I heard that he went to Sydney last month. Timothy shook his head and sighed, and he didn't know whether it was a sigh or not.
Jack, who has lost his lucky aura, still works for those unlucky people who have lost everything.
No, no, no, that guy is in Pas now, he was here yesterday. Tim said, giving Charles another glass: I swear, this is definitely the last glass.
Okay, okay, okay, one last drink, hmm. Charles moaned intoxicatedly, his expression looking lustful.
What was that guy doing in Paseo? Timothy wondered.
Who knows, that guy is now a rich man, and his behavior is understandable. He negotiated a deal with Fred here yesterday and bought Fred's ranch for about 100,000 pounds.
Mu Shen’s mysterious revelation.
The Coffee Hanging is indeed a good place to inquire about information. Many gossips spread from here, and they are extremely credible.
Of course, if Charles and Timothy wanted to know more, they would have to pay an extra price.
One hundred thousand pounds is unbelievable. Even on that ranch of that guy Fred, fifty thousand pounds would be laughed at like crazy Timothy without scruple.
There was fire dancing in Timothy's eyes. His ranch was ten times bigger than Fred's. If you calculate it this way, wouldn't it be a million pounds?
hiss
Timothy felt that his heart couldn't bear it, so he raised his head and drank it all.
