Time flies like an arrow.
Three years later, in June of the 69th year of the New Era, Monk City, the second largest district in the world.
In an ancient courtyard, Lu Feng, deputy director of the Bureau of Comprehensive Investigation and Statistics, was sitting under a stone pavilion, rubbing his bracelet with his right hand and chatting with a friend.
Three years passed in a flash. Master Lu's temples had some white hair and his cheeks had some wrinkles, but his whole temperament looked very different.
If I had to find a word to describe it, it would be that his beads were rubbed more silky and smoother, and his whole aura of a king had reached its peak.
All he needs to do is shave his head and put six ordination marks on his head, and he can ascend to heaven on the spot.
In the stone pavilion, the aroma of tea filled the air. Lu Feng held a valuable porcelain cup and said in a very polite manner, "Don't worry, Ji. I'm still in power now. If I'm gone one day, whether you, Old Yang, can get this condition or not, that's another story."
Next to him, a middle-aged man in cloth clothes chuckled and said, "Don't try to trick me! Do you think I don't know? The Qingyi Bureau, the Central Bureau, the Sixth Division, and some local agencies are all trying to win over the cliques. Even if you really become a monk in the future, we won't lack employers who can pay you."
Lu Feng looked at him with a smile: "What do you mean? We have been friends for decades, and you still want to jump to another side and go against your old brother?!"
"You didn't start the National Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, so what's wrong with you giving your brothers more benefits?" The man named Lao Yang crossed his legs and said, "It's not easy for me either! When I took over Monk's Changqing branch, I had no money and no people. Now that I've managed it a little better, you come here and recruit us... It's a bit like extortion."
"I said, this is not about recruiting, it's about integrating resources. It's about uniting the proletarian Chinese around the world...!" Lu Feng was about to start preaching again.
"Go away, and say something that people can understand, okay?" Old Yang was also very knowledgeable: "I'm not going to take care of this branch, why would I want to unite with you for no reason?"
Lu Feng smiled and said, "I'll give you a little more. You'll get a share of Bana City's trade. You can pick any of tobacco, alcohol, clothing, or oriental specialties. If you want OEM production, I'll give you the agency rights and you can build a factory here. If you just want to make money and don't want to worry about it, then I'll supply you with goods. Monk will have one exclusive. What do you think?"
"This condition...!"
"If you keep trying to sell yourself at a high price, we'll be done for." Lu Feng interrupted and said, "We've been friends for so many years, so what's wrong with you giving me a favor? What's more, the team is still yours, just with a different house number. Look around now, among all the social organizations related to the Chinese, how many can survive well on their own?! Let me put it bluntly, the Qingyi Bureau pulled you in... What does it have? It's nothing more than giving you some cash. But look at us, with the opening of the Panama Canal, a large number of cheap and good goods will come from the East. With this line, I can support a million people, do you believe it?!"
Old Yang blinked his eyes: "Is there a possibility that I can get involved in the arms business...?"
"Bullshit!" Lu Feng cursed directly: "That's the business managed by the director, and the platters were divided eight hundred years ago. Forget about you, I can't even get involved now."
"Well, I really want to build armaments. If for no other reason, just so that the proletariat around the world can unite and have their own weapons..."
"Forget it, forget it!" Lu Feng immediately waved his hand: "With good performance and a larger team, it is not impossible. Our organizational principle is to expand the center and improve one's own level and position by recruiting people. If you really bring me two more associations with more people, I will definitely negotiate with the director to let you be responsible for the transportation of an armament line."
"real?!"
"Why would I lie to you? Distribution according to work is our corporate culture." Lu Feng responded decisively: "Just two words: fairness."
"Okay, that's it." Old Yang responded softly, "Just do as you say. I'll notify the brothers to change their affiliations, and you, Old Lu, will fulfill your promise."
"No problem." Lu Feng nodded and replied, "I want half of the seats in the association council."
"Okay, if you can get me the armament line, I'll even give you the chairmanship!"
"Don't worry, I'll study it for you." Lu Feng replied with a smile.
"Okay, that's it, let's go eat." Lao Yang called out.
"Let's go." Lu Feng stood up and walked out with his old friend.
Over the past year or so, Su Tianyu began to set up various Chinese civil groups around District 1, focusing his main energy on "catching people."
After the stability of Bana City, the team's capital chain was very sufficient. Simply put, it became rich overnight. The Tongji Club has sold items such as Eastern pants and motorcycles to Africa.
The profits brought by the canal line are enormous. Foreign trade, armaments, technical products, and other export goods are enough to support several major industries within the Yangli team.
Especially with the addition of Zhang Taotao, the volume and frequency of cargo handling have doubled again. She used her many years of business connections to open up many new trade channels for Tongji Association and Bana City.
If you have money, you have to support people.
But Longcheng is too small and has too many limitations. In addition, it is under constant surveillance by the upper echelons, so expanding the team is a very difficult task.
The Chi Army, the Third Division, and Jin Maohui's armed forces all need to be supplemented with reserve personnel. If the association wants to grow bigger, it must continue to absorb and recruit.
In this way, Su Tianyu could only open up his mind and look at the vast world outside Longcheng.
Fortunately, wherever there are people in the world, there are descendants of dragons, and human resources can still be developed.
Now that the vision has been opened, we must act as soon as possible to seize the opportunity.
Therefore, more than a year ago, Master Lu had already embarked on a journey to find relatives and friends. He used the connections he had accumulated over the years in the underworld to contribute his absolute strength to the explosive development of Tongji Society.
Changqing Company, a global company, is not exaggerating. They take the route of apprenticeship and training apprentices, and their network of contacts is very clear, so Lu Feng is like a fish in water when doing this.
Moreover, Su Tianyu's layout can actually leverage the second economic rise of Lao Li's team.
Why do you say that
It's very simple. Once more people are attracted, the coverage of goods will definitely increase. While the local forces are making money, they are also generating profits for Tongji.
This is a two-way gain.
Therefore, Gou Liuzi's ambition was truly revealed after Bana City was stabilized!
This year, he was also 29 years old.
…
On the way to the restaurant, Lu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any pants you can tear for me tonight?!"
Lao Yang looked at him with a strange look; "Hold it in?"
"Well... I've only seen old men recently," Lu Feng nodded slowly, "They can't do anything."
"Aren't you empty of all things?"
"I look at the situation and see that everything is empty."
"Oh, alright, let's tear it up then!" Old Yang nodded helplessly.
