People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke and shook his head. "No, everyone has different pursuits in life. Wealth and fame don't mean much to me."

"I know there's a huge secret there, and I want to find out the truth, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

“…” Mickey was speechless upon hearing this answer.

John Abruzzi, perhaps due to his advanced age, remained silent for a moment, but then suddenly seemed to understand Ding Ze's words.

What is life?

Money and status?

After having money and status, you can feel quite empty after a while.

John Abruzzi was once the patriarch of the Abruzzi family in Chicago and enjoyed a good life. Later, he followed Ding Ze and his life became even better.

But what's the point of continuing like this?

This should be considered a philosophical question.

Ma Hong has made the decision without hesitation not to go.

the reason is simple.

Ma Hong has no interest in any secrets; after experiencing so much, he just wants a peaceful life.

As for Scarlett and Hannah...

Hannah had a deep-seated craving for excitement and was already fed up with her real life. So, like Mahone, she made the decision without hesitation to go with him.

Scarlett hesitated...

Ding Ze smiled and glanced at everyone. "I said, we have plenty of time. No rush, take your time to think it over. Tonight, let's enjoy life to the fullest. Come on, let's drink."

Soon.

Ding Ze and his group resumed their conversation, eating and drinking, and the atmosphere became lively again.

From a certain perspective, this kind of liveliness is actually quite incongruous.

Because you need to know.

Internationally, about a dozen countries, including the United States, are still engaged in fierce fighting.

This incredibly brutal war continues.

Countless people are still dying.

Ding Ze actually knew, but he just didn't care.

There's nothing to care about.

Everyone in this world is destined to die.

What's the point of caring about anything? (End of Chapter)

Chapter 449 Aftermath Work, Comprehensive Coverage

It's about nine o'clock in the evening.

The governor of Florida received a call from Ding Ze, and then, as always, he had no choice but to swallow his pride and immediately convene the media to announce the end of Florida's independence movement.

Of course, as a politician, the governor is very good at talking. He confidently spouted a bunch of nonsense, saying that America is currently in a special period, Florida is an important part of America, and continuing to insist on independence at this time is not a good thing for America.

At the end of the press conference, as Ding Ze suggested, the governor emphasized that the main reason for making this decision was the efforts of presidential candidate Lidal Eaton, who helped him come to this conclusion.

And so, from a certain perspective, it can be said that immense wealth fell into Liddell Eaton's lap.

Albuquerque.

Liddell Eaton watched the news and laughed heartily.

A few minutes later.

After the press conference, the governor of Florida went straight back to his office and immediately called Ding Ze, saying, "It's all taken care of."

“Okay, thank you,” Ding Ze said with a smile. “Also, I need you to sign a document. I’m going to install surveillance throughout Florida… Governor, don’t worry, I’ll make sure you walk into the White House with Lidal Eaton.”

Being a politician is not easy either. Hearing this, the governor breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

It didn't take long for the governor to sign the document.

Ding Ze received the message and, without hesitation, immediately summoned Ida Hassan, instructing her to take charge of installing surveillance cameras throughout Florida.

To enable the Samaritans to function more comprehensively, or rather, to maximize their impact, Florida is just the first step; the second step is the whole of America, and ultimately, the whole world.

This journey may be long, but it will definitely come to fruition.

What's more, there's also Elon Musk's Starlink project.

As for Harold's robot baby...

There's no rush.

Harold's stubborn personality meant that the robot baby couldn't do much.

The night is getting darker.

At the Miami estate.

Janet, Hannah, and Scarlett put on a great show of their ventriloquism for Ding Ze. After thinking for a moment, Ding Ze picked up the satellite phone and called Amado.

The first battle with the [Eternal Life Club] is over, but there's still a lot of cleanup work to do.

Therefore, rebuilding Dongfeng Motor Corporation in Mexico is a very important part of this task.

At this moment.

The war in Mexico is nearing its end. The brave and skilled American soldiers, equipped with various advanced American weapons, can be said to have rampaged through Mexico as if it were their own backyard.

The Mexican soldiers couldn't stop them at all.

At this time, the main force of the United States had already reached Mexico City.

Mexico's useless president is signing a ceasefire agreement, or rather, a surrender agreement, with high-ranking officials sent by the United States.

"You've had a tough time this time," Ding Ze said as the call connected, then joked, "You're really lucky to be alive, you didn't die after all that."

Amado laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Those American soldiers won't be able to kill me so easily."

“Indeed,” Ding Ze replied with a smile, “How significant were the losses in this wave?”

Amado thought for a moment, “Actually, it’s not that big. Although the Guadalajara group was destroyed, most of the plantations scattered throughout Mexico are still intact… The main loss is the confidence that the major plazas have in us.”

"However, you won the war, so that's no longer a problem."

"Boss, we want to rebuild Dongfeng Group, right?"

Ding Ze smiled and said, "Of course, you should first contact the major plazas, talk to the bosses, understand their losses, and formulate a compensation plan."

"Finally, come up with a figure, tell me, and I'll ship the money to you."

“Once the Americans withdraw their troops from Mexico, you should immediately begin reconstruction.”

“Okay!” Amado was very excited.

"Work hard, and I hope that Dongfeng Motor Group can reach new heights as soon as possible under your leadership," Ding Ze encouraged with a smile.

“I definitely will,” Amado assured him confidently.

call ended.

Ding Ze then called Pablo.

Pablo had been waiting for this call, so he immediately answered it and then said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Ding, you've won."

Ding Ze grinned, "This is just a partial victory. My feud with the [Eternal Life Club] is far from over."

“I believe you will crush them,” Pablo said, adopting a rare, subservient attitude.

Ding Ze found it amusing and chuckled. "Pablo, let's get down to business. There's too much to do, and I'm in a bit of a rush. You'll need to wait a little while, half a month or a month, until the situation stabilizes a bit."

"Then, I will keep my promise to you and make you the president of Colombia."

This was Pablo's greatest dream.

therefore.

Upon hearing this, Pablo's heart immediately raced, and he was incredibly excited. "Okay, I can wait."

“Okay, then let’s keep in touch,” Ding Ze replied.

“Okay,” Pablo replied.

call ended.

After a moment's thought, Ding Ze called Liddell Eaton again. "Mr. Eaton, the time is ripe. I see your approval rating rising steadily. I would be very surprised if you lose the election."

At this moment, Liddell Eaton was actually full of confidence, "Don't worry, I won't lose."

“Great, if you have any problems that need to be solved, contact me immediately. I suddenly have some free time,” Ding Ze said with a smile.

Lidal Eaton was amused.

After all, the mad killer Ding Ze has taken a break? Impossible, Liddell Eaton is certain that Ding Ze will cause trouble again soon.

“No problem,” Liddell Eaton readily agreed.
