"It's a good idea. Let's put it this way, Qianxing, you take a piece of eucalyptus, and we'll study and discuss it carefully in the next few days." Bucklo looked at Lu Ming and smiled.
Lu Ming stretched out his hand, and Li Zhongliang beside him hurriedly took out four folders from his briefcase. Lu Ming took them and pushed the original in front of Bucklo. He gave two copies to Sherlock and Gao Wangshi: "This is a draft, you can all take a look." He smiled at the Auditor General Li Shandong: "Brother Li, you can take a look at it later and check it." He handed over the third copy.
As long as the discussion on municipal issues did not involve financial budgets, expenditures, etc., Li Shandong would listen silently. He was slightly startled when he heard Lu Ming's words. He nodded and smiled at Lu Ming, took the copy and looked through it, but still said nothing.
Bucklo looked at Lu Ming's plan, which was more than ten pages long and extremely detailed, even including a long list of candidates for the economic and trade delegation.
"Hire United Matrix Security Consultants to provide security advice and protection for the economic and trade delegation's travel?" There was doubt in Bucklo's eyes.
Lu Ming nodded: "United Matrix has a good cooperative relationship with the military, and has signed a cooperation agreement with the Internal Security Military Academy. In the future, if the military academy graduates fail to enter the internal security forces, their outstanding students can be recruited into the United Matrix Company. There is no problem with their qualifications."
"As I said before, we want to create an economic and trade zone near the Bat City State that is closely related to our Beiguan. Because of the poor security situation in the area, we need armed forces to protect our interests."
The United Matrix Company is, of course, a mercenary company established based on the original Freedom Force Left Group, and its headquarters has been moved to a remote area in the countryside.
Moreover, he cleverly took advantage of the information gap and talked with Lieutenant General Neville, helping United Matrix win some military contracts.
Lieutenant General Neville probably thought that the boss behind this mercenary company was the Duke's family, and that it was most likely an armed force set up by supporters of Christine, a strong contender for the Crown Prince, and that he was just acting on their behalf.
He naturally felt that it was a good idea to have such a mercenary organization cooperating with the military, as it could help the military deal with some issues that were inconvenient for them to deal with. At the same time, as it involved the competition for the public reserve candidate, he naturally maintained the principle of silence, doing what he should do and not saying what he shouldn't say.
As for Christine, she was too lazy to care about my mess. Even if she knew about this, the most likely thing she would do was to use the opportunity to force me to apologize to her or beg her. Besides, I really didn't hint anything to Neville.
Whenever I think of Christine, I feel a little emotional. To be honest, if I don't have her as a signboard, some things will be full of twists and turns if I don't have her as a signboard. Especially for sensitive matters such as mercenary organizations, I need to promote cooperation with the military and land safely from now on, which will save me at least five or even ten years.
As for her current bad taste, it is that she hopes to catch me doing something wrong and apologize to me. Whenever I think of it, besides finding it funny, I feel inexplicably warm in my heart.
I haven't seen her for a long time, and I actually miss her a little.
In short, the safe landing of this mercenary company finally resolved a problem that had been bothering me for a long time.
Looking at Bucklo, he felt more confident. What he said about the joint matrix was not a lie.
Bucklo listened and nodded.
Lu Ming added: "Liu Shoufu was blackmailed and given three days. I hope that after the meeting, we can send a telegram to the East China Sea Representative Office in the Western Alliance in the name of Beiguan City Government, asking them to pay attention to this matter. At least, their attention should prevent the other party from doing anything rash. I can also travel with the economic and trade delegation as soon as possible to resolve the matter satisfactorily. It takes two days and two nights to travel from Beiguan to the Western Region by train. The economic and trade delegation can stay there for a few more days. I will try to get back before the end of the month and attend the plenary session of the parliament at the end of the month."
"It's true that Liu Shoufu is my friend, but if any Beiguan businessman encountered trouble like him in a foreign land, I would not sit idly by if I knew about it. So, I don't think I have any selfish motives. On the contrary, the Liu Shoufu incident gave me a lot of new ideas, all of which are in the draft I submitted to you."
"Of course, everyone has selfish motives. I want to help my friend as quickly as possible, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?"
Gao Wang smiled slightly: "Qianxing, just go and take care of this matter. Even if you can't make it back, won't I be there to help you watch the voting?"
Lu Ming, Bucklo and Sherlock probably all wanted to curse in their hearts.
But the moods of Bucklo, Sherlock and Lu Ming are naturally very different.
Bucklo and Shylock probably wanted to strangle Gao Wangshi to death. How could there be such a shameless woman, a municipal committee member at that, who would flatter a gigolo in such a serious meeting
You said that we should bring up a proposal to impeach you because of this. We all think it is ridiculous. Besides, what will the Municipal Council become in the eyes of the outside world from now on
It also had to be kept secret, otherwise the reputation of the municipal council would be that it was full of thieves and prostitutes, and that a bunch of idle people were fooling around there every day.
You are really good, woman.
Shaking his head in frustration, Sherlock looked at Lu Ming and said, "Anyway, this is too hasty. We should still consider all aspects carefully, right?" He paused, "You don't want to leave in the next two days, do you?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I'll be leaving in a minute. As for this economic and trade delegation, it doesn't matter if it's a little later. I'll be the advance team!"
Bucklo thought for a moment and said, "Alright, let's form the economic and trade delegation carefully. There are many things to consider. When the time comes, Commissioner Sherlock will lead the delegation."
"That won't do. Are you trying to steal the credit?" Gao Wang snorted contemptuously. "I don't think the draft plan needs to be changed at all. We can select candidates from the list of candidates for the economic and trade delegation in less than ten minutes. Why do we have to set off a few days later? It's obvious that Commissioner Qianxing came up with the idea and the plan by himself, and then, Mayor Bucklo took the lead and Commissioner Sherlock implemented it, right? The achievements, prestige, and good relationships among enterprises and businessmen are all yours?"
Lu Ming was stunned. This vicious woman, does she really not want to be in politics anymore? Although everyone knew the secret of Bucklo's immediate agreement, even if they objected, they would beat around the bush and play Tai Chi with each other. They knew what the other meant, but would not say it out loud.
You wouldn't do that, would you? That's too reckless...
Bucklo and Sherlock's faces turned even gloomier. Sherlock glared at her and said, "Commissioner Gao Wangling, I think you are not suitable for such a sacred position as the municipal commissioner! You should resign and apply for the position of Commissioner Lu Qianxing's affairs officer, and concentrate on serving him alone!" People's patience is limited.
Gao Wang sneered, "You think I don't want to? Please help me beg Commissioner Qian Xing. If he is willing to have me as an administrative officer, I will resign immediately and give my position to you liberals, okay?"
Sherlock gritted his teeth, his eyes spitting fire, "If it was a hundred years ago, I would challenge you to a duel!"
Dueling was abolished by Parliament one hundred and twenty years ago. In the past, duels were common between parties when they got angry with each other. Nowadays, there are no duels, but fights between hostile MPs do occasionally occur.
Gao Wang smiled slightly: "What's the point of fighting a hundred years ago? At that time, duels were just formalities and no one would die."
"I hope to go back three hundred years. The parliamentary duels at that time were interesting. I believe you will die miserably! I have killed people, have you?" After saying that, he stared at Sherlock quietly.
Sherlock was stunned. He actually felt guilty being stared at by her. He turned his head away and said, "Unreasonable!"
"I don't know if I am qualified to express my opinion. I just want to give you a reference!" Li Shandong suddenly spoke.
The Auditor General, who naturally had no authority to join the municipal commissioners’ discussions on specific matters, was clearly fed up with these old men.
This meeting was indeed awkward.
Bucklo said hurriedly: "Auditor General, you go ahead."
"I think Commissioner Lu's draft is very thoughtful. If we work overtime tonight and call the think tanks of all the commissioners to discuss each item one by one, including the candidates for the economic and trade delegation, and call them overnight to listen to their opinions, I think we can reach a conclusion by morning. Commissioner Lu should not leave now. It is better to go with the delegation tomorrow morning. Isn't our first bus to the west in the morning? If you follow the passing bus now, you still have to reverse and may not arrive faster than the full-distance bus. Even the people in the delegation will be busy all night and have to go to the train to rest." Li Shandong smiled, "Of course, this is my personal opinion, for reference only."
Bucklo frowned for a moment and then relaxed quickly. He looked at the people present and thought for a moment, "Okay, the Auditor General's words make sense. Let's work through the night and come up with a conclusion."
