316. Chapter 312: Choices and Work Arrangements

Councilor Wei De and the Wei De family are absolutely representative forces in politics in New Jincheng!

They and the Williams family were once the largest farm owners, slave owners, plantation owners on this land in New Jincheng...

There is a very exaggerated saying that Councilor Wei De once said that one-third of the land in New Jincheng once belonged to the Wei De family, but in the subsequent urbanization process, it gradually became a city.

The first batch of residents in this city were all their former slaves, workers, servants, maids...

Perhaps with the continuous increase of the immigrant population, the proportion of this part of people in the entire city's population has continuously declined, but the social status of these people has continuously improved.

Eleven districts in New Jincheng, eleven municipal councilors, are almost all their people!

This is also one of the reasons why they can firmly control New Jincheng. They are all their own people, and outsiders can't do anything at all!

Whether it is the people in the City Hall or the municipal councilors.

The reason why the Mayor hasn't had any big moves until now is that he is thinking of ways to disintegrate one of the two major political forces. Whether it is the Wei De family or the Williams family, as long as one of them is moved away, dealing with the remaining one will be much easier.

But moving Councilor Wei De away requires a lot of price. During this period, the Mayor has been operating this matter.

Political favors, interest delivery, and human exchanges...

Looking at the surprise on the secretary's face, the Mayor took out a cigar. He only enjoys this when he is in a good mood.

"If he respects and executes the transfer order, once he leaves New Jincheng, those people around him will lose their core and it will be difficult to unite closely again."

"If he refuses the transfer order, then he will offend the people who could have eaten the interests I promised into their mouths. Offending so many political dignitaries in this state, even if this was once his family's farm, his subsequent days won't be very good."

"This is a dilemma choice question. No matter how he chooses, we will gain huge advantages."

"And I think he...", he took a puff of the cigar, the smoke stirred in his mouth for a few times, feeling the constantly emerging taste, quite interesting, "... he will compromise."

This is actually a "good thing" for Councilor Wei De. On the surface, his status in the government system has improved.

A municipal councilor who needs to "pay for himself" and an actual ruler of a city, everyone knows which position is better!

And he doesn't need to waste his own resources and favors. These expenditures are all the Mayor's. He only needs to nod, and he can have all of this!

He agrees and can get many things, but refusing adds a pile of enemies. If his brain has no problems, he should know how to choose.

Choice is always the most difficult hurdle on the road of life.

From the moment of birth, choices constantly appear in front of us. Every time we finish a road of life, we have to face a choice once.

Every choice will affect our future, life, feelings, career, everything!

Everyone says they won't regret it, but how many people really don't regret it?

Mr. Jobaf finally made a decision, and he persuaded himself.

Lanse used that kind of means to disrupt his propaganda activities, so Lanse is no longer his friend or the young man he looked up to; they are enemies.

He dialed the number the Mayor gave him, and his heartbeat started, thump, thump.

When the phone was connected and a gentle voice came from the opposite side, his somewhat excited emotions unexpectedly calmed down.

"I am Jobaf, maybe you have heard of my name." He adjusted a sitting posture and lit a cigarette.

The cigarettes he smoked today are worth the amount of the past two or three days. He needs this, needs nicotine to make him relax, and by the way, help him make some decisions.

"Mr. Jobaf, I am very happy that you can call me. So what can I do for you?"

They both belong to the Mayor's camp, so they know each other.

Now the phone call was made to the professor's side, and the professor also roughly understood Mr. Jobaf's meaning.

The cooperation between gangs and capitalists actually doesn't have any complicated things. One gives money, one solves trouble, that's all!

Mr. Jobaf licked his lips. "I need you to help me."

"I have encountered some trouble recently...", he said some of his demands. He didn't ask the Wolf Gang to actively attack Lanse and his people.

He just hoped that when they held canvassing propaganda activities, they would not be harassed by similar situations again.

No one would make a loud noise, fight, and finally make everything a mess.

After listening to Mr. Jobaf finish his demands, which sounded more like a complaint, the professor asked softly, "Mr. Jobaf, we can do all these things you said."

"But I also have a question I want to ask you. You should know that we and the Lanse family belong to a hostile relationship."

"Once we work for you, Lanse and his people will also treat you as an enemy, even if this is the case, it doesn't matter?"

"After all, I heard that you had a good relationship before, and you were both Imperial people."

Mr. Jobaf, who had already made a decision, would definitely not hesitate anymore. He gritted his teeth and mustered the courage in his heart. "It doesn't matter, when he disrupted my activities, we were no longer friends!"

A relieved expression appeared on the professor's face. What he was most afraid of was that this Mr. Jobaf didn't want to completely tear his face, but wanted them to help deal with Lanse's people, which would make them very embarrassed.

But if Mr. Jobaf and Lanse had already torn their faces, then everything would be no problem. "I will arrange for people to go over as soon as possible. I can guarantee you that they won't succeed easily this time!"

At the moment he heard this sentence, Mr. Jobaf suddenly felt like he had unloaded some heavy burden, and exhaled a heavy breath!

He sat in front of the table, looking at the sky outside the window, his brain blank!

Early the next morning, an old man took a razor and swung it back and forth on the razor strop a few times, and shaved off the stubble on his face that was actually not many in front of the mirror.

He wiped his face clean, put hair wax on the few hairs, changed into new clothes, and left from home.

Since they followed Bodun, life has been much better. Although there are only ten dollars a month, these ten dollars are too precious for old people who have no consumption desire!

And sometimes they can find some things, and can get three or five dollars from Bodun's side, in short, everyone's life is very good!

This made the old man have no worries about his old age, and every day was the happiest day in his life.

After cleaning up, he walked out of the house, smiling at the rising sun, and soon came to an intersection not far from the apartment where he lived.

There is a coffee shop here, the cheap kind, five cents of coffee plus five cents of thin pancakes and a two-cent fried egg, this is his breakfast in the morning.

The coffee shop owner will also very thoughtfully get him some bacon crumbs, although not much, it also makes the fried egg have more flavor changes.

At this time, there were already several old people sitting here, and everyone smiled and greeted him when they saw him.

They are all old people living nearby. They have nothing to do, and they sit here for half a day.

After greeting, he found a place to sit down and began to chat about some news in the newspaper, as well as international events.

Federal men are full of desire to explore politics. The hot topic they discussed recently is the outbreak of the Four-Nation War and whether the Federation will be involved.

This proposition is very large, and there is a lot of room for play, and everyone participates very actively.

Just tasting the inferior coffee, using the tip of the pancake to dip the egg yolk and preparing to take a bite, everyone's discussion stopped, and their eyes all looked at the road.

The intersection happened to be the red light, and several cars stopped behind the parking line waiting for the traffic light. The old men's eyes were focused on the people in those cars.

These people's dress and appearance don't look like Imperial people, and they haven't seen them, and more importantly, these people have tattoos on them.

It is July now, the temperature has risen, and many people are wearing sleeveless jackets with their upper bodies bare, or even not wearing them.

This exposed the tattoos on their bodies. An old man took out his glasses and put them on to look over. "That's a wolf head, right?"

Another old man said with a solemn expression, "It's a wolf head, it seems to be the same as the wolf heads Mr. Bodun said!"

Several old men looked at one of them at the same time, and envy appeared on their faces. The old man laughed and stood up, ran quickly to the public telephone booth on the side of the road, and dialed Bodun's phone.

Bodun was also in a coffee shop, but it was a more high-end coffee shop. The coffee shop owner specially connected a phone to the position he liked to sit in.

And this position is no longer entertaining others, only entertaining Bodun.

Now Bodun also has several young subordinates around him. They are standing on the street outside the coffee shop, wearing unified T-shirts, smoking and chatting.

A calm and composed day, Bodun looked at the sunlight outside the window, and then focused his attention on the newspaper.

His breakfast is very rich.

A cup of twenty-five-cent coffee, two fried eggs plus a portion of bacon and ham slices, and finally a fist-sized bread cube that has been roasted at high temperature.

Dip the bread cubes with egg yolk and wrap them with ham slices or bacon, and put them in your mouth. The taste is simply impossible to find words to describe how delicious it is!

The first thing that touches the mouth and taste buds is the bacon that is slightly burnt and has a strong oily fragrance, or the ham slices with special fragrance and salty taste.

Next is the egg yolk with garlic powder. The salty taste of bacon or ham well compensates for the lightness of the egg yolk, making the taste and flavor rich and mellow.

Finally, it is the bread cubes roasted until crispy. It crunches when bitten, which is very delicious!

However, Bodun is a civilized person. He won't let those sounds come out. He will eat with his mouth closed and enjoy this delicacy alone.

??????? co

Being... a rich person, a person with status, is indeed a very happy thing!

He flipped through the newspaper until the phone rang suddenly. He picked up the napkin and wiped his lips, and picked up the receiver.

"Mr. Bodun, Wolf Gang people drove several cars from the port area along... road and came in. They walked towards... direction. I don't know what their destination is, it looks like at least twenty or thirty people."

Bodun frowned after listening. "This news is a bit important, you can get twenty more dollars next month!"

The old man laughed from ear to ear after listening. He smoothed his few hairs. "Thank you for your generosity..."

His praise hadn't been finished when Bodun hung up the phone, but for the sake of twenty more dollars, he didn't feel that he was not valued at all.

He returned to the old men happily. They couldn't help but ask, "How much can you get this time?"

The old man stretched out two fingers, which made other old men envy and jealous. "This meal is on you!"

The old man laughed and agreed. "Good, it's on me, it's on me!"

Bodun hung up the phone and picked it up again. When the phone was connected, he said anxiously, "I have something to say to Mr. Lanse."

After about ten seconds, Lanse picked up the receiver. "What's wrong?"

"Wolf Gang people drove from... road and came in, walking towards... road. I haven't received other information yet, I think this matter is very special and very important..."

Lanse raised his eyebrows after listening, which made his eye sockets have a feeling of "opening," allowing himself to be more focused.

"I know, let people continue to watch them, and report the news to me at any time."

Lanse hung up the phone and walked back to the dining table. A table full of people were waiting for him.

He sat in his seat and picked up the napkin to wipe his hands. "Wolf Gang people came in. After eating, Hailamu, get ready."

"Also notify all the bars to be careful about being attacked."

He didn't look as anxious as Bodun. They broke in early in the morning, they might not necessarily come to fight.

If it's a fight, choosing midnight is actually a better time. The night will be a natural protective color, and now many people in New Jincheng know that Lanse has many eyes here.

Coming in during the day is equivalent to making a phone call to Lanse, telling him "we are here," so the night is the best time for "invasion."

Hailamu said he was going to stand up, but Lanse stopped him. "No need to be so anxious, the brothers can handle it."

"We have gotten a lot of wine recently, Enio."

Enio, who was fighting with the oxtail, put down the oxtail bone in his hand. "Here."

"You and Fides's Gario did a good job in the business last time. You can ask him if he wants to come for another batch of wine. This time the grade is not low."

"Also, you go to see other places, such as Xigu City, Jinxing City, surrounding cities, surrounding states, you can try to expand."

"If you find a relatively good place, we can also consider getting some processing plants and wineries in places far from the city."

"Nick's farm is still too close to the city now. We run more and more times, and it is very likely to be discovered by some people."

"Before they discover it, we have to be prepared to be discovered. This matter is handed over to you, Enio."

"These works are very important to us!"

Enio nodded. He likes important work, which will make him feel very honored. "No problem, I will handle the work in my hand and then do this."

"Erwin."

"Uh-huh?"

"Sean is going to school soon. You take over the work at the office first. I remember you said before that you have a suitable candidate, let him contact first."

"No problem, I will arrange it."

Lanse looked at Morris again. "Continue to collect information that is beneficial or harmful to us..."

He arranged the work of everyone recently, including Ma Duoer's group, who were still helping gang members with military training in batches.

Fifty people each time, for about a week.

Although it is very bitter, for young people, this is actually an interesting thing.

Eating better, and having extra subsidies, everyone had no complaints.

"I heard that Red High Heel's house is still vacant?"

After Red High Heel was sealed, the house was not taken over. After Sam and Book committed suicide, in a sense, the house no longer had a "master."

According to federal law, this house belongs to the Federal Treasury.

But the Federal Treasury cannot send employees to manage such ownerless assets in the entire Federation, like some old people who might have a house that is not worth much money.

He suddenly left in winter without leaving any suicide note. The Treasury cannot arrange for an employee to go to this area to dispose of this house for a long time.

So for the federal government, for non-sensitive assets, they will entrust the local area to auction them, and then take the auction proceeds back.

This disposal method does not require Treasury employees to be all over the Federation to finish processing all assets.

New Jincheng has several banks with auction qualifications, and Lanse intends to take this house.

This house is in the prosperous section of the Imperial District. Even if it cannot be used to open a bar for the time being, it can always have many uses.

Gerald's movie has completed all the editing and is about to be released. There should be a name for the production company by then, right?

Personal production?

Although there are many movies like this now, Lanse still wants to set up a company.

This requires a company office location. Red High Heel re-renovating is a good choice.

After breakfast, news about the Wolf Gang kept coming from Bodun's side, until finally, this group of Wolf Gang people entered Mr. Jobaf's villa.

And up to this point, Lanse fully understood Mr. Jobaf's meaning.

Regarding Mr. Jobaf's choice, Lanse fully understood and respected it. This is like two people fighting for the same thing.

Why can you fight, but not let others fight?

Everyone has the right to fight, but everyone also needs to be prepared to bear the consequences!

Fighting itself cannot be peaceful!
