Joe rubbed his face, "Where do you say it's better... Gu?"
He glanced at Gu Yan, then shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't remember whether I have mentioned anything to you over the years, and what I have mentioned and what I haven't mentioned, I just thought of where I said it. The Manson family is a family friend, you must know this, right?"
"Of course." Yan Suizhi nodded, "I'm afraid there are not many people in the league who don't know about it. If about 30% of the tabloid content on those websites is true... You two have been friends for three generations?"
Qiao said: "It's three generations without me, and considering the twists and turns of my relationship with George Manson, it's barely three and a half generations. The great-grandfather's generation has a very good relationship. My family made a fortune in the raw metal industry. A new generation of vehicles for the Union army equipment."
In that era, interstellar pirates were rampant, and some planets were organized into divisions. Conflicts and wars did not stop in the past hundred or so years, and the consumption and demand were also large. Joe's great-grandfather joined his younger brother to become the fastest fortune of the time, known as the Eves Brothers.
During the most intense ten years of war and conflict, they not only supplied raw materials, but also sent weapons and equipment to the strategic line of Decama in an emergency, and used private rails to transport military supplies. less busy.
During that time, the Eves brothers were traveling on the front lines of the war, basically carrying their heads to live, and inevitably they would encounter some dangers.
"It is said that my great-grandfather was very affectionate and moral, and was very straightforward, but his younger brother was particularly shrewd and tactful, and he had many ideas. So several times when trouble came, he avoided it by surprise. Only two times, when he turned to Decama on Helan Star. On the flight route, I was almost blown into fireworks. It is fate, I was rescued by the same group of homeless people twice." Joe may have heard these a lot since he was a child, and he said it one by one.
At that time, because of the war, some planets were always suffering, and the people on the planets were not stable at all, and they tried to migrate to other planets. Some of them couldn't find their favorite foothold, and they preferred to take risks. They became "wanderers" who lingered on various planets, picking up the materials in the wreckage of the conflict and buying and selling them.
The leader of the homeless group who had rescued the Ewess twice was the great-grandfather of the Mansons.
"While I was talking, I remembered that the great-grandfather of the Manson family. When the tabloid gossip mentioned it, he seemed to write his full name directly?"
Gu Yan is not someone who likes to read tabloid bullshit, but the work circle will have some intersection with these people, so he passively knows some tabloid content, but it is limited.
Yan Suizhi is also not keen on tabloids, but because of his parents, he once developed the habit of scanning every report.
The two recalled for a while and said, "Yes, is there anything else?"
Joe nodded and said, "I was born too late to meet my great-grandfather, but my sister did when she was a child. According to Ms. Eunice's gossip, she would occasionally go to the old house to stay with her great-grandfather for a week when she was young. Her thinking is not very clear, and her memory is a bit confusing. Two times, when she heard the old man vaguely mention the great-grandfather of the Manson family, he was called Caohua Lao K. I thought about it with Ms. Eunice, it should be the old man. The nickname of the wanderer."
After that, the Eves brothers were grateful and matched, and Old K also started a business with the military.
They were originally settled on the Tianqin star, but maybe the old K, as a wanderer, has a constant heart turmoil and has a special preference for war, so he stayed for many years at Helan Star, which has the most conflicts, and received a batch of mine lines in his hands. The momentum is slowly getting bigger.
In this regard, the Eves brothers and the old K took two different development routes-
The Elwes brothers are more orthodox because they have helped the alliance in the war. They are involved in various neighborhoods, but they are all involved in the military or the government.
The old K's way is more wild. Everything he does is based on those mine lines. At the same time, he has a relationship with the wanderer. To a certain extent, he is also slightly involved with the interstellar pirates. Black and white.
"In general, the old Mr. K is a shrewd person who is loyal and loyal, plus he has been in adversity and life-saving, so I have always had a good relationship with my great-grandfather and brothers. Their younger generation got married." Qiao said with a tsk tsk, "Nothing new. Then Old K worked hard to give birth to three boys, all of them boys. My family is better. The two brothers gave birth to five in total, but there is one. Girl, the youngest one. But she was born too late, the age gap is too big, and Mr. K's sons are not perverted, so it didn't work."
This is Joe's grandfather's generation. The Manson family probably has a tradition of infighting. Old K's three sons are secretly fighting. Old K is a fine person. According to the characteristics of each son, he put three lines into their hands, so The result of the overt competition is that everyone worked hard and developed well.
One of the three lines is an intelligent metal mine, and the intelligent systems in every corner of the life of the alliance are inseparable from this mine. One is an energy mine, somewhat similar to an antimatter fountain, one of the main sources of energy for a shuttle. One is the medicine stone mine.
These three lines developed well, and the Manson family jumped up, even faintly surpassing the Ewes family.
"Although they are all developing well, compared to smart metals and energy, the medicine stone mine is a bit inferior. Later, I don't know why—" Qiao stretched out three fingers, and then bent one of them, "The person who made medicine stone is a little inferior. Manson can't keep up with the pace. It is said that his spirit is not normal after getting older. The medicine stone thread of Manson's family has also been cut off. But I have also heard a kind of gossip, saying that the manson tried to use the medicine stone The mine developed a drug line, the profit was amazing, but it was really dangerous, and the other two Mansons took the opportunity to knock him out."
After that, in the Manson family, no one touched the medicine mine again.
In the generation of Joe's father, DeVore Everth, the Manson family has produced an unprecedented group. The later man in power, Ken Manson, ranked third from the bottom, dangling in the middle, not leaning up and down, and was accidentally ignored.
"It is said that old Manson was the most underappreciated one when he was a child. Every time the family got together for afternoon tea, he was alone. He was always bullied by his brothers and sisters because he stuttered a little when he was a child." Joe said, "I read the tabloids. He has always been the appointed heir of the family, so fake."
Devo Eves didn't look down on Ken Manson at first. But he disliked Ken Manson's siblings even more, and he helped Ken a few times in order to contradict them.
Therefore, the two have a good relationship, and at first it was all set off by others.
It's hard to say whose nature influenced who, but in short, DeVore Everth and Ken Manson, who often mix together, have grown into old foxes and smiling tigers.
Ken Manson would later speak at a very slow pace in order to correct his childhood stuttering, to the point that it became almost a hallmark of him. At the height of the Manson family's limelight, Ken Manson's speed of speech gave him a lot of authority.
During the years when Ken Manson was in charge, the Manson family still focused on metals and energy. By the way, they caught up with a family that focused on smart metals and interstellar transportation, and developed a network, and people on the Internet became Manson. A coalition of interests that meet regularly at home.
However, no matter how it develops, the Manson family has never touched the medicine mine.
"I don't know if they didn't touch it because they didn't feel profitable, or because of the shadow of the older generation." Joe said, "I don't quite understand it, but this is indeed an unwritten iron law of old Manson. El Manson and Milo Manson have grown up one after another, and old Manson began to let them get in touch with the family business. They are older than my sister, a few years earlier. You know these two... The boss doesn't look at it. It's so annoying, the second child is particularly arrogant. It is said that the two of them have been listening to the stories of their ancestors since they were young, and they especially admire the great-grandfather of the old K. It's just too yin people. It feels like half of the Manson family has the final say."
"Probably my sister Eunice just got involved in family affairs after graduating from college. I look like I was two or three years old. Old Manson had a disease, and it went back and forth. After that, the Manson family suddenly changed their attitude and became interested in medicine and medicine. This was actually quite surprising at the time, including the old fox, because it was really sudden. It’s a big head, and there are plenty of connections in this area, and the Manson family hopes to get to know some people in this area through the introduction of the old fox, especially in the area of Helan Star.”
Joe supported the handlebars for a while and counted with his fingers: "From when I was about four years old to when I was eight or nine years old, in those four or five years, some unfamiliar faces began to appear at family gatherings. The tones of several of them are soft... I can't describe them. Anyway, the gentle and gentle sounds are very pleasant. They don't look like the kind of businessmen. Came to hook up Manson. These are the people that made my sister and I realize there was a problem—"
He said, got up from the bicycle as if remembering something, called up the smartphone screen and said: "She also turned up a few dynamic photos last night, all of them were taken at that time, and they are a bit old. Because I don't know those people. I think it's clearer to tell you with a photo."
"Well—"
Joe turned the screen very much, replaced it with a holographic scene, and clicked play.
