Chapter 1206: Gift

The governor looked at Lansi, stared into his eyes for a while, and then smiled and said, "I don't know much about this, but..."

"Maybe my brother will be interested. He has vowed since he was a child to become a great capitalist, and I hope he can realize his dream this time."

In the end, the governor chose to follow his own heart.

With more money, he has the opportunity to gain a bigger stage in the political arena, to display greater ambitions, and to become a more remarkable person.

If this is said for the better, if it is said for the worse, then he will step down after these two years of being governor, and he will get nothing.

If he doesn't try hard to toss in the next period of time, then the voters in this state will most likely not remember him, and will still vote for others in the next election.

Moreover, without so much money and lacking the support of resources within the party, it is difficult for him to win the election.

The commercialization of federal elections is the most cruel and ruthless kill for all poor politicians!

This is not a joke. When the winning rate of the election is directly proportional to the funds invested, the election in this country is actually almost finished.

It just looks like it still meets the requirements of the Federal Constitution on the surface, and also meets the requirements of the people—they are the masters of the country and they elected the president of this country.

However, in reality, the birth of the president has nothing to do with them, because the president is not directly elected.

But this does not prevent them from thinking so. In the continuous political changes, people no longer value a person's actual ability.

What he can do, to what extent he can do it, and whether he has the determination to do it.

Instead, they look at the exquisite campaign posters of those candidates, look at their various campaign performances, and look at them inviting a large number of stars and guests to build momentum for themselves at their campaign speeches!

What people value is this, not a person's specific ability. This is a very sad society. In positions that most need ability, those who sit there are those who know how to spend money beautifully and those who can find money.

How could this country not be finished?

Political commercialization, political capitalization, the erosion of capital is everywhere.

The governor cannot be an exception. He also wants money, or power. One of the two must belong to him, right?

Regarding his choice, Lansi didn't refuse. "Let him come to see me, or you give me his contact information, and I will arrange for someone to contact him. This matter is settled."

"I am a person who likes to make friends very much, and every friend of mine can prove that at least in this matter, I performed quite well."

"We will also become good friends!"

The governor nodded very affirmatively. "I have this premonition!"

After coming out of the state government, Lansi's work here was basically done. Next, he only needed to contact other mayors, win them over, and form an interest group with alcohol sales profit as the core, and control it in his hands.

Lansi's chips in his hands would become more and more, and his influence within the Social Party would become greater and greater.

There are nineteen states in the Federation, and the Federal Party controls seven states. But if he can control the votes of three of them now...

Who would care if he is a gang leader?

Wanting to make people discard all their prejudices against him is a very difficult thing that requires a long time to fight for, but he is not in a hurry at all. He prefers the scenery in the process of finding the ultimate goal.

Just like... what a masturbator looks forward to is always the moment of reaching the peak, not after the peak!

"Next, find a suitable place locally, and we will build a brewery.", Lansi opened the car door and got into the car. "Transporting a large amount of alcohol from Likalai State itself has expensive shipping costs. Now we have no competitors, and everyone from top to bottom is our people. We can build the brewery here, build it bigger, enough to supply the whole state."

"At least half of the state!"

Although on the surface, Lansi will soon monopolize the local alcohol trade, those mayors who have obtained "exclusive agency rights" will hate anyone who brings alcohol into their cities through other channels more than anyone else.

But hatred, dislike, does not mean they can do this. There will still be cheaper, lower-quality alcohol entering here from other places.

This is also a problem that almost all commodities will encounter. When a commodity has monopolized an industry, new challengers will emerge as the times require.

Those cheaper but lower-quality alcohol from other places will become commodities favored by some gangs. After all, what ordinary people want is not whiskey that costs thirty-something dollars a bottle and has to be marked up for them.

But alcohol that can make them feel drunk for one or two dollars. Those alcohols may be a bit sour, but as long as they can make their heads dizzy, then it must be good alcohol!

However, Lansi doesn't care much. This kind of smuggling cannot be banned by anyone. They always have ways to transport the alcohol over and then sell it secretly, so except for catching those who almost don't hide their smuggling, he doesn't care about some small-scale smuggling at all.

The motorcade soon arrived in the downtown area of the city. After Lansi chatted with Aierwen for a while, he saw a very exquisite jewelry store on the roadside.

It will be Patricia's birthday in a while, and he wants to give Patricia a beautiful birthday gift.

This jewelry store on the roadside also belongs to a luxury jewelry store in the Federation. It is said that they only have one store in each state, and the jewelry sold in this store is not available in other states.

Each state is an independent design and production team, and they hire the world's most excellent, outstanding, and creative designers to design those jewelry pieces for them.

Every year, some products that amaze the world appear, and many well-known people are keen to collect various jewelry design products under this brand name.

Because not only is every piece of jewelry a unique item, but more importantly, many of these jewelry pieces will appreciate in value.

Just like the daughter of the former president once bought a pair of very abstract earrings. When she bought them, they were only worth about three thousand five hundred dollars.

But in the past few years, as the designer of these earrings became more famous and won more awards, the designs also began to decrease.

The price of some early products began to skyrocket. The three thousand five hundred dollar earrings are now worth more than twenty thousand dollars on the market.

There are many such situations, which is also the reason why many noble ladies are keen on their products.

"Stop the car."

Ma Duoer honked the horn and flashed the headlights. The speed of all the cars in the motorcade slowed down until the car Lansi was riding in stopped completely.

He pushed open the car door and left the car. The doorman at the entrance of this jewelry store called "Wonder" immediately noticed them.

He quickly shouted something inside. Lansi didn't hear it, and soon several other staff members came outside.

And the doorman also opened the door for Lansi.

"Wonder welcomes your visit, sir. In the next period of time, we will provide you with service!", the guy who should be the manager brought several staff members and welcomed Lansi, Aierwen, and Ma Duoer inside.

The doorman put the "No Reception" sign at the door. From this moment on, the entire store only provided service to Lansi alone.

It sounds very exaggerated, but in fact, most of these stores are like this. They will make sales strategies according to the level of visitors.

If ordinary people come in, they just let them take a look. When more noble guests come in, they will be asked to leave.

Lansi, who came in a luxury car motorcade, belongs to the top-tier high-quality customer, so the entire store only served him alone at this moment.

The consumption ability of a rich person can be worth the consumption ability of thousands or tens of thousands of poor people. Don't blame these businessmen and capitalists for treating people differently; it is indeed that everyone's value is different.

Lansi walked in the store, looking at the exquisite jewelry flashing with various halos under the spotlight. He didn't know how to choose for a while.

"I want to give my wife a birthday gift. She is a lady who looks very quiet, a bit lively, and feels a bit young."

Lansi described Patricia in his impression simply, and of course, he didn't forget to describe her beauty.

The manager asked, "May I know what your budget is?"

The surname "White" is generally everywhere in the Federation, and not everyone will pay attention to the newspapers in Jinzhou to figure out who the person in front of them is.

They only know that the rich man in front of them is called "Mr. White," and he came to pick a birthday gift for his wife. All they have to do is sell the things.

So before recommending, the manager must figure out how much money Lansi can take out for this birthday gift.

Lansi's gaze stayed on a display cabinet beside him, minimalist butterfly earrings outlined casually with simple metal lines.

At first glance, there may be no special feeling, just some lines that seem to have no meaning.

But after observing for a while, I discovered that these were two slightly abstract butterflies!

It seems that the designer clearly did the design seriously and added things belonging to personal style characteristics, making the whole work look amazing!

He glanced at the price, which was over eight thousand dollars. This is clearly an uneconomical price because its material and the gemstones on it are not worth that much money, but things related to art often have very outrageous prices.

He turned his head and looked at the manager. "No budget, no upper limit, just the things!"

The manager reacted after two seconds, and a shocked and pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face visibly. "Mr. White, your love for your wife is just like your choice, also without an upper limit, and it is also moving!"

"I invite you to take a look at some of the fist products we plan to exhibit at the 'Wonder Jewelry Exhibition' at the end of the month. Of course, if you buy one or several of them, I hope that when evaluating, you can lend them to us for competition and exhibition."

"Or take them away after the exhibition."

"Of course, you can also take them away directly!"

Lansi didn't refuse and agreed. Patricia's birthday is in April, and their jewelry exhibition is at the end of this month, which does not conflict.

And if they can get a good score at the exhibition and get the favor of more people, the price of these jewelry will continue to grow and have huge fame.

Many people are proud to own an award-winning work or a very famous piece of jewelry!

Subsequently, led by the manager and other staff members, Lansi came to the insurance room further back. The display stands here were smaller than those outside, but the quality of the things inside was visibly higher than those outside.

Before the manager introduced, Lansi was attracted by a mannequin in the middle of the insurance room and the jewelry on it.

The manager also noticed the change in Lansi's performance. He immediately walked to the set of jewelry and introduced it. "Mr. White, please allow me to solemnly introduce to you our best product this year, which is the 'Spring's Agility' beside me!"

"It was designed and made by the most outstanding jewelry designer in our branch. It uses..."

Lansi's gaze was focused on the entire set of accessories.

Its design language is very good, looking like wearing spring on the shoulders.

Necklace, earrings, rings, and a very good-looking shawl-like thing, they look tender green, even if they know they are not real plants, they still feel that kind of vitality!

Lansi was attracted by it at once, and could also imagine how beautiful the girl would be when she wore it on Patricia!

The manager was still introducing that the production method of this jewelry is very special. Unlike those jewelry that builds bones and then embeds gemstones, it uses another kind of craftsmanship.

It is made by grinding jewelry, pearls, and some other powders together, fully activating their colors, and then firing them.

"How much?"

The manager, who was still bragging about how amazing this jewelry was, was stunned for a moment. Then Lansi turned his head and looked at him. "I asked, how much is this jewelry?"

Electric sparks flashed in the manager's mind. In 0.000... seconds, he gave a price that was obviously higher than the normal price.

"It's twelve thousand, Mr. White."

Lansi nodded. "Wrap it up, I want it."

The manager was stunned again. He had never seen such an easy-to-talk-to person. He looked at Lansi, and then looked at the specially crafted jewelry.

Originally, he just wanted to brag about how exquisite their jewelry was, and the price was very high. He didn't really want to sell it for so much money.

He didn't think Lansi would buy it, and now he was in trouble.

This is a competition jewelry, and its designer has already negotiated with the brand side, allowing it to participate in the exhibition competition!

If it is bought by Lansi now, the designer will definitely kill him!

He hurriedly said, "Mr. White, this is our competition product. If you want to get it, you have to wait until after the exhibition competition, which is one of the two days from March 4th to March 5th."

Lansi didn't refuse. "Of course, I also hope it can get a better ranking."

While Lansi was picking out a birthday gift for Patricia, Christopher, who had been very angry these past few days, finally received the "gift" sent to him by Leonardo from his hometown...
