399. Chapter 393: Umbrella Plan

The matter of police collecting money, at the beginning, it wasn't the police who took the initiative to collect money, but the operators who took the initiative to give it.

The speed of gang iteration was too fast, so that the protection fee was paid in the morning, and the gang was finished in the afternoon, and then the new gang in power required all shops in the area to pay again.

No one could withstand such tossing. In the era when the police could still stop evil, people could only place their hope on the police.

They took the initiative to give the police some benefits, tobacco, alcohol, or cash, so that the police could take care of them more.

Over time, this behavior of taking the initiative to bribe the police gradually developed into the police taking the initiative to ask for fees from merchants.

You can not give them, then they will release news, let people know that there is a shop that has not paid the fee, and for the criminal behavior against this shop, the police will turn a blind eye.

The change and reversal of the relationship made things that everyone was willing to pay money for not so willing, so actually collecting this money is not a good job. Some police themselves are very resistant to this, but this is also one of their jobs, to extort merchants.

But to say that they don't collect it at all, it will be like what Branch Chief Bulu said, it will destroy the rules that everyone is following now, making everything... out of control!

No one likes this kind of uncontrollable change, and they could have not done this in the first place!

Lans looked at the two. "The Attorney General also came here this time. I talked to him, and you should know."

"They will send some internal affairs police to investigate things about some illegal operations, including bribery and various forms of illegal profit."

"I don't want to discuss whether you have bribery, nor do I want to discuss whether those ordinary police have bribery. Just illegal profit, you all have it."

"This investigation will definitely need to establish some typical examples. The public security problem in New Jincheng has spread throughout Licalai State. In order to ensure the purity of law enforcement agencies, someone must make sacrifices."

"And with the development and progress of society, this kind of thing will become more and more intolerable and unacceptable to society."

"We just chose to run faster than the era, rather than being thrown behind by it. When this torrent begins to sweep everything, you will find this point."

"Others are still worried about being rolled and finished, but we have already entered the next version."

"I don't know if you can understand what I say. I can only say that this is actually considering for all of us."

Every era will have the changes of every era. Perhaps at this time, black money and black police are everywhere.

But with the development of society, this situation will eventually become less and less. The more developed the society, the more the federal government will care about the purity of the grassroots government and institutions.

Compared to rushing to deal with a butt full of shit in the future, it is better to wash your ass clean and go ashore directly at this time.

This internal affairs inspection actually helped Lans a lot, allowing him to promote some rule changes in the two regions first.

Allowing him to be more concerned and supported by people!

Concern and support are a kind of power, a very powerful power!

Branch Chief Bulu said softly, "We have heard about this, but we don't know to what extent it will develop."

Lans told them without concealment, "At least two or three must become typical."

"I'm not sure if Charlie's relationship with them is hard enough to provide shelter for his people. New Jincheng has eleven administrative districts. You two together already have an 11/2 probability of being selected."

"If he can list his people in the protected list in advance, then the probability of you being selected may be one in several."

His eyes fell on Branch Chief Bulu. Branch Chief Bulu told him last time that he didn't even attend Charlie's private party now, because Charlie was squeezing him out.

"I...", Branch Chief Bulu looked at Du Ke beside him, and finally looked at Lans again. "I support your idea."

Du Ke was also hesitant. He was not Charlie's person, and his relationship with Hunter was good, but he was not sure if Hunter would protect him.

He hesitated for a while. "What do you plan to do?"

"We will set up a new investment company in the city. All of you who participate in the plan will invest a sum of money first. You don't need much, five dollars or ten dollars for each person."

"Then every month, in the form of investment rebates, according to our new rules, this money will be paid to you legally and reasonably."

"You can take this money to pay taxes, you can use it openly, if you understand local laws, you should know that investment income only needs to pay very, very little tax!"

"There is no illegal behavior, nor is there any moral risk, and you have no causal relationship with merchants."

"Then I will arrange another company to collect this money from everyone according to a unified charging standard. I believe they will be very happy to pay this money because it will be less than before."

Speaking of this, Lans already had a lot of smiles on his face. When the police in the two administrative districts needed the "investment rebates" in his hands, everyone's interests would be highly tied together!

They would be more unwilling than others for Lans to have an accident. After all, this money is so clean that it is unimaginable, and it does not involve any risk.

Listening to Lans's introduction, although Branch Chief Bulu decided to join from the beginning, he was still a bit indescribably excited.

He looked at Du Ke again. "I think... it's quite good, I join!"

After Branch Chief Du Ke heard it, he had to admit that this plan, the new rules, were very attractive. He couldn't find any reason to refuse at all.

However, he also raised some questions. "Besides these, we also have some small coffers to deal with emergencies..."

This fucking is even less of a thing!

Once these people join the plan, it is equivalent to giving Lans the privilege of "legal crime." All his criminal businesses will not be investigated, and he can earn super profits openly!

He gave Branch Chief Du Ke a "don't worry" look. "I will set up a special foundation for this situation. Every month, I only need one dollar, and I will solve the worries for everyone."

"Suffered serious injuries, including death, including children going to college, not enough money to buy a house..."

He crossed his legs and spread his hands. "All the problems you need money but money is not enough can be solved by me."

"Directly give some subsidies, or give you a low-interest long-term loan!"

Du Ke could no longer refuse. He knew that once people knew he refused these plans, those grassroots police in the branch would definitely make him unable to continue as a branch chief.

"If it can really be like what you said, then I join too!"

Lans showed a more obvious smile. "You made the most correct choice in your life!"

He paused as he spoke. "After you go back now, collect some information and tell me, from the lowest patrolman to the sergeant, how much each person can get from this black money, a rough number."

"I will also arrange for people to investigate these. We need to conduct a statistic to ensure that every police officer in the plan can enjoy fair and just treatment and benefits!"

The two listened and nodded repeatedly. "This is what should be!"

Branch Chief Bulu asked with a smile, "Lans, this plan... I mean the overall plan, has a name, so it is more convenient for us to explain to them when we make some adjustments."

"Instead of telling them, you have a 'what plan we don't know the name of' that needs them, don't you think?"

Lans nodded slightly. "Yes, it is called the 'Umbrella Plan.' We become each other's umbrellas, protecting us from the attack of heavy rain!"

"Very vivid, I can already imagine the joy and excitement of people when they hear about it!"

The two left with satisfaction. There was no way not to be satisfied. Even if the identity was reversed, Lans would not refuse.

This plan is only good for everyone, no bad—Lans may have to put in a lot of money every month, but this money is exchanged for his business at least not being resisted by the police!

Law enforcers and criminals will become the closest partners!

The market of the Hazardous Materials Administration is only for these few years. After their market ends, whether it is the future Federal Bureau of Investigation or other law enforcement agencies, they will not be as good as the increasingly huge grassroots law enforcement agencies.

So this money is invested very worthily!

And Lans believes that it will become a huge, even a huge umbrella that can cover the entire Federation. No one can refuse to turn illegal income into legal tax investment income!

On the morning of the next day, people with prestige on every street in the port area also came to a cinema according to Lans's request.

Lans booked the venue, but didn't play movies. They sat in their seats, discussed in a low voice, and waited for Lans's arrival.

Many people were a little nervous, because those gangs before were not easy to talk to, and they always collected various protection fees for various reasons.

Even if you paid the protection fee, they might still extort a sum of money from you, because for these gangs, this is the way they make money.

However, the Lans family is different. They had long heard that the Lans family had stopped collecting fees in the Imperial District, which made these people a little excited.

After all, a person has prestige on a street, certainly not because he is old enough!

In a capitalist society like the Federation, to have prestige and be respected, you must have some "hard power," that is, have more money than others.

So these people often do business themselves, operate small businesses, or even operate family factories.

They can be said to be the middle class living in the poor area, or close to the middle class, so they have prestige, looking at the money!

At about 10:30, Lans arrived at the cinema. He didn't know the people here, but many people knew him.

Watching him walk onto the stage under the big screen, everyone stood up one after another.

He raised his hand and pressed it, and sat on the chair prepared early. "Please sit down, everyone. I am not the mayor, and you are not my subordinates. We don't need to be so formal and serious."

He paused. "This time I found you because there are a few things that need to be notified to you, and I also need you to help me pass them on to the people in the port area."

"You are more familiar with this place than I am, and people are more willing to believe you. This is a bridge, built between me and them!"

"First, the first thing, from today, the fees belonging to our side in the port area will be completely stopped..."

His words were not finished, and the inside of the cinema immediately came with sounds like "My God," "God," "Is this true."

It was very noisy. He waited for them to release their emotions, and then raised his hand to press it again, signaling them to be quiet.

"Someone is asking if this is true."

"Of course this is true!"

"We have also stopped collecting in the Imperial District, and it seems that everyone is willing to accept this result!"

He said with a smile, "If someone really feels that it is very uncomfortable not to pay, they can also donate this money, and I will help them send it to those in need."

He paused for a while, lit a cigarette, and people needed time to let their thinking accept this fact, and then think.

Actually, human beings are sometimes contradictory, just like you suddenly give a good meal to a prisoner in prison, he may not show any happy expression, but instead cry and beg you, he has realized the mistake and is actively correcting it.

People need time to accept and understand such things that do not follow common sense. They have to think clearly whether there are other traps in it.

Fortunately, with the Imperial District in front, their speed of acceptance is still very fast.

The sound of discussion didn't last long, maybe it was a minute, and the sound gradually quieted down.

Lans stretched out two fingers. "The second thing, I talked to the chiefs of the two district branches. Regarding the fees collected by the police, there will also be a reform."

The cinema, which still had some discussion sounds, became quiet in an instant, leaving only people's heavy breathing!

Looking at them, Lans showed a smile. "Just like some of you thought, the part you pay to the police every month will be reduced a lot."

"Like those ordinary shops, you may only need to pay five dollars in fees."

People started to praise God again, and Lans laughed. "This matter is actually not God's decision, but my decision. You say this makes me a little sad!"

People's wind has turned, and they have praised Lans one after another.

Two fees are the biggest difficulty faced by grassroots merchants in New Jincheng now. Most of their profits are taken away by gangs and police.

They need to bear operating risks, and eventually may not even be able to put one-third of the income into their pockets.

If Lans releases these two pressures, it will make the entire port area prosperous, and people will be more enthusiastic about entrepreneurship because they have greater anti-risk ability!

This area becomes more prosperous, then naturally for Lans, his income will be higher!

There will be a huge gap in consumption between an area with an average monthly disposable fund of less than ten dollars and an area with an average monthly disposable fund of more than thirty dollars!

"In the future, this part of the police fees will no longer be collected by the police personally. We will set up a company to collect it uniformly, and we will give you a charging voucher, which is roughly similar to... business consulting."

"If there are gangs or police trying to collect extra fees from you, that is extortion. You can call the police, or give them the money first, but remember their appearance and identity information."

"It is convenient for us to get your money back!"

"The third thing, my people will appear on the street, responsible for part of the public security problems in the local area, just like the Imperial District."

"If you have any problems, besides finding the police, you can also find my people."

"You paid the money, I have the obligation to protect your personal safety, and business safety!"

The news soon began to spread outward. Not long after, Roger (the old man of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce) called.

"Mr. Lans, everyone hasn't seen you for a while, and they all miss you..."

Lans heard these words of his and knew what their purpose was. "Don't say you miss me, what you think of is the new rules."

He laughed twice as he said. "Old partner, I am an Imperial person, how can I miss the Imperial District?"

"Even if you don't call me, I will notify you, it's the same here."

"The police side will completely stop collecting fees. I will arrange for special people to collect them later. Before that, we will definitely have a meeting, and some things still need us to negotiate and solve."

"As for meeting, I don't think there is any need now. I have no time recently. I will talk about it when I have time."

Roger didn't force it either. What he wanted, or what everyone wanted, could be realized, so he didn't disturb Lans. "Of course, Mr. Lans, you are busy first, I will tell everyone, everyone will definitely understand you!"

"Please forgive me for saying a few more words, you must take good care of your body, we all hope that you and the Lans family can exist for a long time!"

The more benefits they get from these practical rule changes of Lans, the more these people at the bottom cannot leave Lans, and they will also become part of the "Umbrella Plan."

Many people have heard about this, after all, Lans didn't expect to be able to hide it from everyone.

The masses will publicize it, just like the Lans family not collecting protection fees, everyone knows it now.

If he also has some favorable changes in the police side, whether it is the masses or the police side, they will publicize and communicate to the outside world, so he didn't expect to be able to hide it, nor did he go to hide it.

After the news spread, different people have different performances. The old Five Great Families are busy fighting, and they can't care about it here for the time being.

The one who reacted most fiercely was Charlie, who was preparing for the election.

The police are his basic disk. Now Lans is actually intending to pry his basic disk. How could he have no reaction at all? ===== CHAPTER 398 =====
