It is clear that the progress bar of James' department's investigation into Queens Borough President Eric has not moved at all. James uses the tactic of procrastination, and many things are dragged on and ...
Lu Ming did not rush and invited a design team from New Newman, the capital of the United Kingdom, to carry out the preliminary planning and design of the commercial street.
Construction companies have already started clearing the rubble on Gatlin Street.
The FIC seems to have been lame since its establishment. It is very silent and seems to have no idea what to do next. This is probably because the first case that was supposed to be handled completely lost its rhythm, so the entire organization has become a lame duck.
Many eyes that were staring at the FIC gradually shifted their gazes away.
Even some dignitaries of the Rose Party began to contact Lu Ming and invited him to participate in some cocktail parties, dances, club activities, etc. Obviously, it would be good if this meritorious general who was the first to be controlled could eventually integrate into their circle.
This guy seems to be a warrior and should be easy to deal with.
…
The first floor of the Gaston Building was refurbished from the original Grand Fortune to become the Gaston Cigar Club, and the entire floor was carefully cleaned and redecorated, with no more of those one-dollar huts.
A service place similar to the 1 Yuan Hut provided for the poor has been removed from the shanty area.
Neither the Scythe Gang nor the Jacob brothers were engaged in the sex trade anymore, and all the girls regained their freedom. Those who wanted to continue to engage in the cheap flesh trade were not allowed inside the Gaston Building, but some one-dollar huts were built in the nearby shantytown.
Gaston Property Company provides free security services to these cheap prostitutes and helps them complete the legal registration process.
In the Guede Special Autonomous Region, red-light districts are legal, but they must be registered and pay taxes based on monthly turnover.
Gaston Property Company also provides reasonable tax avoidance guidance to these women who are forced to make a living.
Vanessa was hired as the legal advisor of Gaston Property Company, but her main job now is to help these cheap prostitutes, including legal registration, tax avoidance guidance, etc. She is very busy every day, but Vanessa never gets tired of it. Obviously, she is full of sympathy for these women who can only sell their bodies for a living, and she does not look down on them.
Lu Ming also knew that these women were in different environments from his own in his previous life. Many of them really couldn’t find any other jobs and had to do this line of work, otherwise they would starve to death.
Of course, after going into the industry, many people find that this is a quick and easy way to make money.
Lu Ming couldn't help everyone, but boys and girls under the age of sixteen were prohibited from participating in this industry.
Gaston Elementary School and a technical school were also opened on the third floor to provide them with free education. However, since it is a student loan, they have to sign a contract and repay the loan in installments with their salary after graduation.
In fact, all this money comes from the "Gaston Area Equal Rights Plan" and is an interest-free loan provided by the government. But for the residents of Gaston, of course they only know that their savior, or even Gaston's "God", is General Bit.
Even though Lu Ming had already said that these were loans from the government, everyone understood that they could receive this assistance, and the real "God" who saved them was General Bit.
In the eyes of tens of thousands of Gaidens in Gaston, Lu Ming's status is becoming increasingly high.
At this time, in the box of the Cigar Club, there were Lu Ming, Jacob, and a middle-aged man with a flat nose and black hair, Bachai, a Mitai from Antigua.
There were only three of them in the luxurious and spacious box.
Jacob was a little skeptical about Bachai's identity. According to General Bit, Bachai was the drug exporter in the entire Antigua area. All the drug lords in Antigua had formed an association, and Bachai was the spokesperson for the association, which meant he was the spokesperson for all drug lords.
Today, drug production in Antigua has been greatly reduced.
Of course, with the comprehensive drug prohibition in the Northern Territory and Antigua being a member of the Montenegro Treaty Organization, it seems that some unruly drug lords have been wiped out by the special forces of the Northern Han Kingdom, so it is inevitable that its drug production will be greatly reduced.
But no matter what, Antigua's drugs still represent high-end products in the global drug market.
What if Mr. Bachai could really represent all the drug lords in Antigua and come to Gil City in person? And to see me
They even said that from now on, the general agent of Antigua products in the Gaide area will be handed over to you, Mr. Jacob.
That is to say, in the Gede area, no matter who wants to get Antigua goods, they can only get them from you. My channels are only open to you.
Jacob raised his huge beer glass and clinked glasses with Bachai, saying thank you repeatedly.
When drinking, you can brag about anything, but don't take it seriously or be too serious. There's no need to refute. Just enjoy yourself. After all, this Mr. Bachai is a friend of General Bit, his boss. Although he seems to be afraid of his boss, it is impossible for him to be the spokesperson for all the drug lords in Antigua.
Bachai was obviously an extremely cautious person. He seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, but he was sober when he left and agreed with Jacob on the next secret contact method.
After Bachai left, Lu Ming looked at Jacob and said, "Of course I support a comprehensive ban on drugs, but since we can't ban it in Gaidezhou for the time being, let's control the main channels and cut them off completely when we encounter the right opportunity."
Jacob was stunned and looked at Lu Ming in astonishment.
Lu Ming continued, "You need to recruit more men from Gaston. If you suddenly monopolize the market, those big gangs will be unhappy. I can't help you openly with this kind of thing. You can only rely on yourself. Of course, I can provide you with weapons and equipment."
"Boss, are you serious?" Jacob said in a daze.
Lu Ming took a sip of beer and said, "Am I such a boring person that I would just pull someone over and let the three of us chat about nonsense for a long time?"
Jacob was startled and sat up straight immediately. Yes, how could the boss be so boring? When making an appointment with someone, it is always agreed to talk for a few minutes. It is difficult to chat with the boss for even one more minute.
I have never doubted anything my boss said before, but this matter is too unbelievable.
But now it seems that the boss was not joking.
"It's still some time before you two contact each other again. You should do your best. The next time he contacts you, it should be about substantive issues such as what channel to use!" Lu Ming stood up and patted Jacob on the shoulder. He turned around and walked out, waving his hand: "No need to see me off!"
Jacob, who had stood up, slowly sat down again. If the boss said he didn't need to see him off, then he really didn't have to.
After drinking half a bottle of beer, Jacob's mind gradually calmed down and he recalled every word that Bachai said.
I felt both happy and worried at the same time. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had monopolized the supply of goods in the entire Gaide area. What did that mean
However, this will inevitably provoke a fierce reaction from the super gangs.
The 4000 Party, the Left Hand Party, the Hammer Gang, these gangs, to them, crushing small gangs in the slums is no different from crushing bedbugs.
Moreover, most of them have powerful people behind them. They are just tools to make money or help the powerful people do things that are not decent.
Of course, the boss behind him is even more mysterious. For example, how much investment is needed for this equal rights plan? His boss doesn't even blink an eye.
In fact, it is understandable that the boss seems to want to move the powerful people here, and now, he should use the violent organization as a breakthrough point, so he helped me to pull in an Antigua general agent, making me, a little-known pawn, will soon become a thorn in the eyes of several major gangs.
There was a bloody fight between him and them, and everyone was on the move. The boss was able to find their weaknesses and take advantage of the opportunity to attack them.
Thinking of this, Jacob shuddered and slowly fell into deep thought.
