Many people think that the fire department is not a power department, but a service department. After all, once there is a fire alarm or someone is in trouble, the first thing they think of is the fire station and the firefighters wearing helmets and heavy equipment. But in fact, the fire department has great power. Many gangs not only have to provide a share to the police station, but also to the fire department.
In accordance with imperial law, all facilities have a maximum occupancy limit and must have firefighting equipment. In Turner City, almost all of the most profitable businesses are related to bars, and the bars themselves are also a huge source of cash. The daily sales of fruit wine and private wine can provide gangs with far more income than other channels, so if they want to run the bar, they must have a good relationship with the fire station.
If someone offends the fire department, closing the bar for rectification is only the most basic measure. There was once a dispute between a gang behind a bar and the fire department over the amount of payment. As a result, the gang’s source of income was a business. Nice bar was so bad that it had to close. The fire department said that the bar had fire hazards and was unreasonably designed. The bar, which was nearly 500 square meters, could not accommodate more than ten guests!
Otherwise, you will not only have to face closure for rectification, but also have to pay a large fine.
In the end, the bar was closed. The gang behind the bar spent a lot of money to find a middleman, admitted their mistake to the fire station, and promised to pay according to the rules, and then reopened the bar under a different name.
If the police station is the knife hanging over the gang's head, then the fire station is the gun hiding in the shadows. If you offend any party when your own strength is insufficient, it will be difficult to continue to thrive in Tener City.
Du Lin gave the police chief a key, and naturally he would not forget the fire station. He smiled with a sincere expression on his face, and he spoke every word clearly, "I recently opened a The company is on Queen's Road and is currently being renovated. I heard that there were several fires on Queen's Road and many people were killed. It's really terrible. I'm a very timid person, if you can. I hope Mr. Gao Wen can take the time to guide us on the installation and decoration of fire protection facilities.”
Gawain still had a straight face and a serious expression, but his eyes softened a lot. He clicked, and you could see that his body relaxed. "It is the responsibility of our fire department to serve every taxpayer. Please leave an address later and I will personally go to the site to supervise."
After a meal, a sum of extra money was paid into their account before they even finished eating. This made both Prondeau and Gawain very satisfied. Prondeau even smiled and said to Kevin, your friend is very interesting!
Your friend!
Not my friend!
He didn’t mention Du Lin’s name directly!
It's not that he forgot Du Lin's name, or that he didn't want to be friends with Du Lin, it's just that they are still not sure whether Du Lin is really sincere in becoming friends with them. You must know that they are in a high position and there are many people who want to be friends with them, but there are very few people who can show enough sincerity.
Kevin didn't say anything, but looked at the calm Dulin with a surprised look.
Bribery has become an inevitable unspoken rule. Even the mayor has some funds from unknown sources placed in anonymous bank accounts. Not even the governor, state legislators, and members of the upper and lower houses of parliament can escape from this vortex. Some people are willing to let themselves down, and some people have to learn to let themselves down.
If you stand out as a clear opponent when the general trend is trending, you will be run over by rolling wheels or beaten to death by sky-high waves. Basically, it will have no effect.
Although everyone is taking money from the outside into their pockets, there are also ways to get money. For those with lower grades, such as the policemen patrolling the roadside, you don't need any means to bribe these policemen. You can directly count out twenty yuan and stuff it into their pockets. Keeping it is easier than any other method. The other party is satisfied. But for higher-level officials like Prondo and Gao Wen, besides offending them, Chi Guoguo's gift of money would not get them any help or favor at all.
Kevin didn't say how to bribe, but Du Lin used a method that he had never seen before.
There is no doubt that there must be a large amount of cash stored in the personal safe of the Imperial Central Bank. As long as Prondeau takes the key and opens the safe, he will have that money. As for accepting bribes
Don't be kidding, he just picked up a key and didn't control his curiosity and greed well. This can't be considered a mistake, it can only be said to be morally lacking. This is not a crime, and his superiors will not do it because of it. A person's moral problems deny his ability at work, and "communication" may not be impossible to solve. It was precisely because of this very secret bribe that Du Lin had already won the favor of the two big shots when they met for the first time, which was very rare.
If Du Lin were a guy in his mid-twenties or early thirties or forties, Kevin would think it was normal. He could grow up smoothly and live for such a long time without being cheated to death. Basically, he would have enough money. experience. But this guy is only sixteen years old. Where did he get all this experience
Some things are really scary just thinking about them.
The meal was enjoyed by both the guests and the host. Du Lin left first. During the meal, Kevin and the two directors did not talk about any more secretive topics. He knew it was because he was an outsider. So he felt that it was almost done, so he asked to leave first if he had something to do, leaving the three of them with private space and time. The three of them looked at Du Lin's farewell with some good feelings. It is rare to see such a sensible young man.
After the door closed, Prondo laughed. He patted his pocket and said with a smile: "This kid is very interesting, but I don't know if his sincerity is as sufficient as he shows."
Kevin picked his teeth, raised his eyebrows, and said in a vague voice: "Don't worry, it won't be less than one number."
A number means ten thousand yuan. For a small place like Tenel, ten thousand yuan for a bribe is really... too much.
Prondo and Gawain were also moved. According to the rules they set, every month the gang would provide benefits in the name of "caring businessmen in society donating some money and materials to the police station and fire station". Just three to five thousand yuan is enough. This money will not all fall into their pockets. From top to bottom, every police officer, every firefighter, and even the gatekeepers can get a part.
The Turnell Police Department has a total of five branches, with a total of 270 people, managing a population of nearly 400,000 in the entire Turnell City. On average, each police officer can earn at least three yuan per month according to the grade. , can take up to fifty yuan, and Plando has five hundred yuan for himself.
The situation of the fire station is almost the same. They can get less donations from well-wishers in the society than the police station. In terms of the amount allocated, they are almost the same as the police station. However, what Gawain got was much less than Prang, and he could only get three hundred yuan.
So when Kevin said a number, both of them were stunned by this young man's generosity!
It's good to have money, but sometimes too much money can make people feel hot.
"Will there be any problem?" Prondo picked up a wet wipe and wiped his face to calm down. "Although I am the chief of the police station, I am not omnipotent. There are some things that even I have to shrink from. First of all, if I take the money and do nothing, I’m afraid something will go wrong.”
It's just that Prondo didn't expect that problems would already arise before he got the money.
