457. Chapter 450: This Matter is Very Difficult to Handle

Jinzhou is a good place; this is the center of federal politics, culture, and commerce.

But gangs don't like it here.

It is because it is too "central" here.

There are too many powerful people here; you will never know whether your criminal activities will offend these people who control the whole country.

Their families, relatives, friends, or even a dog.

Such a thing happened before: the son of a gang leader was driving a new car on the street, and when he stopped on the side of the road, a dog peed next to his car wheel.

He ran two steps and kicked the puppy to death with a football kick; he thought it was just a trivial matter, but in less than a week, the gang he was in was completely eliminated.

Because the owner of that dog, they couldn't afford to offend.

Gangs exist in Jinzhou, but they are very low-key and very careful; they won't collect any protection fees; the main work, or way of making profit, is also to make money by working for Congress and the President's office.

By the way, operate some bars, nightclubs, and other businesses that are not easy to cause trouble.

Just like now, there are a total of three gangs providing alcoholic beverages for the Congressmen, and one specializing in providing alcoholic beverages for the President's office; they are the "alcoholic beverage suppliers" designated by the upper society of Jinzhou.

It sounds quite incredible; Congress and the President's office promoted the implementation of the prohibition, but the people who promoted these are constantly touching the law themselves.

In fact, this is like what people have been saying, thinking.

The people who formulate the law, when they formulate the law, they have never really included themselves in the group that needs to follow the law.

In other words, the law has always been formulated for the middle and lower layers of society, not for them.

This will cause a very special social phenomenon—

The people who formulate the law are constantly breaking the law, because for them, the law not only has no binding force, but also cannot make them feel the majesty of the law; it is just their "toy"!

There are some gangs that will provide them with various services, for example, "designated call girl suppliers" for Congress, the President's office, and high-level government departments.

And for example, "gambling middlemen" who can match these upper-class power politicians to conduct gambling games.

Including human trafficking, illegal smuggling, and all criminal acts that may exist, they actually have contact, and there are people doing it for them.

This is Jinzhou, the Jinzhou that people yearn for; Bandi also yearns for Jinzhou very much.

The Keda family has been washed almost the same, and it will be able to complete the complete whitewashing in a few years.

Black and white will be cut apart.

So he wants to go to Jinzhou very much, to fight for the position belonging to the Keda family on a higher stage.

Then, having friends and relationship networks in Jinzhou is particularly important.

He first handled the work in his hands, then changed into a bathrobe and came to the bathroom.

Soaking in hot water, the whole person was completely relaxed; he dialed that number.

"Mr. Bandi?"

"Yes, I am, I am here, you must be Mr. Hailike, right?"

"I remember you, last time at Fleming's graduation party."

The vice president on the opposite side laughed loudly. "Yes, it's me; I didn't expect your memory to be so good; I was still thinking about how to explain to let you recall me."

Bandi shrank into the bathtub, letting more hot water soak his body, only revealing a head; the phone was on the small cart beside, turned on the speakerphone, he didn't need to hold the receiver to talk to the guy on the opposite side.

"I certainly remember you, we also drank a cup...", he paused. "So, Mr. Hailike, you are looking for me, is there anything?"

"Yes, Bandi, can I call you like this?"

Bandi didn't refuse; this is a friendly expression of the relationship between the two sides being drawn closer. "No problem, of course, I will also call you Hailike."

"Okay, Bandi, the thing is like this, we encountered a little trouble; a gang kid brought us some losses."

"So..."

Bandi heard the meaning in his words, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

This is a good thing, for him.

There is nothing he can't handle in Jingang City; he solved this trouble, which is equal to selling a face to this Mr. Hailike; this is a very cost-effective business.

He agreed. "I will help you talk or handle it; what kind of end he will have depends entirely on your thoughts."

"In Jingang City, you can completely trust me, my friend!"

Hearing Bandi's words full of confidence, the vice president also showed a smile. "I won't trouble you, right?"

"We are friends!", Bandi reiterated this point again.

This made the vice president understand his meaning. "Yes, we are friends, then I owe you a favor."

Some words should be said directly; federal people sometimes will be very roundabout, but sometimes, they will also be particularly direct.

"Can I know the name of that person?"

"I'll arrange for someone to fix him as soon as possible."

Then, he heard a name he was very familiar with and had heard many times from the speakerphone—"Lanse, Lanse White."

Seven or eight seconds later, the vice president's voice came from the speakerphone again. "Bandi, are you still there?"

Bandi reacted; he changed from the sitting posture of lying in the bathtub to the sitting posture of sitting up straight; the sound of water made by the water surging out. "I am."

Perhaps it was because he heard the hesitation in Bandi's tone, the vice president's tone was also not so certain. "Is it difficult to handle?"

How should Bandi answer this question?

Bandi's expression was slightly serious. "Whether it is difficult to handle or not depends on what you want me to handle it into."

The Lanse family is indeed not so easy to mess with; hard confrontation is definitely not a smart choice, but at the same time, Bandi doesn't want to give up the relationship with this Mr. Hailike.

He will seize any opportunity that can allow the family to continue to develop upward, and he also knows very well that only by becoming a true big figure can they master their own destiny.

The vice president pondered for a while; Bandi's silence just now obviously let him know that this Lanse and the Lanse family are not small characters that are not so easy to mess with.

This is Jingang City, not Jinzhou; the Liji Group's hand can't reach such a far place.

He considered for a while. "We have some unpleasant things between us, and he also caused us to lose a large sum of money."

He first emphasized the reason for doing so, and then said with a slightly low and cautious tone. "The company's meaning is to solve him; we don't want that money anymore, just treat it as buying him a cemetery."

"A cemetery of millions should be able to live very comfortably!"

Bandi raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. "You brought me a big trouble, Hailike!"

The vice president's voice was full of confusion and incomprehension. "Is there anyone more powerful than your five major families?"

"I have always thought that Jingang City is decided by you, but now it seems that I may have slightly overestimated your control over Jingang City."

This sentence is already very impolite, and Bandi is also a bit ashamed, but he doesn't want to give up this opportunity to deepen understanding and cooperation with Hailike.

The Liji Group headquarters is in Jinzhou; through them, they can come into contact with many big figures, such as the two-house senators of the "Federal Agricultural Committee" and the "Federal Agricultural Foreign Trade Committee."

And for example, "Soybean Association," "Corn Association," and other upper-class gentlemen who can change the industry pattern.

★￠O

The Keda family has been committed to whitewashing for so many years, and gaining more upper-class connections, because Bandi finally understood one thing after mastering massive wealth.

If you can't gain a higher status, then no matter how much money they have in their hands now, this money is fake, not real.

The Federation will have many wealthy tycoons every year who are put on the dining table by people in various ways; perhaps they don't even understand themselves, they are clearly also rich people, also capitalists.

Why, they became food?

In fact, the truth is simple: wealth without political power combination is just fragile wealth, broken at a touch.

Those true financial tycoons, big capitalists, they always stand behind multiple senators, even the President, or some political families.

Their money can be converted into political power anytime, anywhere through these forces to help them crush all enemies!

If money cannot be combined with politics, those big figures think it is time to eat, and everything will return to zero.

In the Federation, wanting to live very well, for ordinary people, as long as there is money, then as long as the money does not exceed the limit he can possess, then everything is beautiful.

Once it exceeds the limit, only by climbing higher can they keep their wealth.

Bandi has always let Fleming participate more in social activities, make more Bay Area powerful people, and even consider letting him enter politics.

This is the optimal solution to solve the core problem of the Keda family.

This Hailike person is of great help to expanding their connections in Jinzhou.

However, he will not show excessive accommodation and weakness, and at the same time, he must let Hailike know that this matter is not easy to handle.

"It's not that I can't handle him, but that it's hard for me to bear the price of handling him, Hailike."

"If you can take out a large sum of money now, I can find a way to help you handle him, but the problem is, can you take it out?"

Solving problems with money is also in Hailike's alternative options. He asked, "How much money can handle this Lanse?"

"At least seven digits, and not a few."

The vice president counted with his fingers. "One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million..."

"Millions, is he that expensive?"

"He has a large group of people in his hands, and he is very careful, has rich assassination experience; once we take action, it is a comprehensive war."

"They have rich war experience, and they have helpers in the five major families."

"Millions, may not be enough."

"You can also find others to ask, perhaps they only need 2,000."

"In fact, I have a suggestion, then solve the contradiction, this will be easier."

"He will definitely sell me a face; I think this is a very suitable choice."

If killing Lanse really costs so much money, the vice president really has to ask again.

He considered for a while. "I'll call you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Bandi sank into the water again; the hot water soaked him.

He actually has some exaggerated ingredients; others ask you for help, you have to let the other party know that this help is valuable, not "a small matter."

The vice president made a few more calls; although the status of these people is not as good as the Keda family, or not people in the underground world, they all more or less showed an attitude of "Lanse is not easy to handle."

This also made the vice president start to think about whether to change another attitude to deal with this matter.

The next morning, when the board members just arrived at the company, the vice president convened an internal conference call; in the conference call, he talked about Lanse's case, and the things that happened in Jingang City.

"I have consulted the Keda family among the five major families; they think that killing Lanse needs to pay a great price."

The executive director had been listening to his speech; at this time, he couldn't help it. "Then ask them how much money they need; you don't think we can't even take out the money to hire a gang, right?"

The vice president said the words Bandi said again; the vice president didn't speak.

Millions?

Even if it is only 3 million, for people who operate agricultural products, this is also a large expense.

They at least have to sell 50 million agricultural products to earn 3 million net profit.

This is not cost-effective.

Others didn't speak, and the vice president continued. "Bandi gave me another plan, everything ends here."

"We don't care about the case with Lanse; those polluted agricultural products, we handle them ourselves."

"They won't find our trouble in the future, and we won't find their trouble either."

Someone on the board of directors raised an objection; they thought it was not cost-effective, but the vice president emphasized one point.

That is, no matter whether this case was done by Lanse, at least they did breach the contract.

Although their litigation cost is very low, it is also a cost, and no one knows whether Lanse and the others will also invest costs, making them produce competition in judicial support.

And that is Jingang City, not Jinzhou; if it were in Jinzhou, they would definitely not compromise and would inevitably fight Lanse to the end.

But in Likalai State, perhaps "respecting" the local forces is the most correct approach.

After the meeting, he made a call to Bandi. "We have discussed it and accepted the proposal of peace talks you put forward."

This made Bandi show a proud smile; he knew it would be like this. "Lanse's situation is very special; if you choose others, they highly likely can't handle this matter."

"You are very lucky, Hailike; you chose me; I will talk to him."

Bandi didn't guarantee that it would definitely be talked about, just said "will talk to him," plus his front and back context, will give people an illusion of "I can handle him."

The vice president didn't know whether he didn't hear it, or heard it but was pretending to be stupid, and said loudly, "That's great, Bandi, you are trustworthy."

"We will hold some activities during our annual meeting this year; I hope you can attend."

Big figures will attend the Liji Group's annual meeting activities; this is a grand social party, and he will not be absent.

"No problem, I will come; remember to give me an invitation by then!"

It hasn't been long until the end of the year, at most one or two months, Bandi is very concerned about these things.

After ending the call, he found Gao Li in his office. "Do you know Lanse?"

Gao Li sat on the chair very casually. "I know, but not familiar; what's the matter?"

"Just now a guy with a face in Jinzhou invited me to attend their annual meeting; there will be two-house senators and some upper-class politicians attending."

"But the premise is that I have to solve the contradiction between them and Lanse."

Gao Li took a puff of cigarette. "Hiss," he exhaled slowly. "I heard that Alberto has a good relationship with him, and he is also very close to the two children of the Williams family."

Let James or Arthur talk to Lanse about these things, not to mention how much price they have to pay, whether they can handle it is hard to say.

Alberto has a high probability of being able to persuade Lanse, but how they persuade Alberto is a problem.

"Fleming and Shi Dong?"

"They are all young people; does their social circle have any overlapping places?"

Fleming is his son, Shi Dong is Gao Li's son; they and Lanse all belong to the same age group; perhaps they know each other and have some friendship?

Gao Li quickly gave him a negative answer. "They haven't played with Lanse; he still can't join the children's social circle."

Saying that, Gao Li paused. "I think you just call him directly; you are Bandi, no one in this city can refuse you!"

Bandi hesitated for a while; this seems to have become the best method. "I will do that."

Saying that, he made a call to Lanse.

"I am Bandi..."

"Mr. Bandi, hello."

Some stiff greetings, but not out of place; after all, the two sides didn't have any friendship before this, and he naturally wouldn't show how enthusiastic he was.

"Lanse, can we meet?"

This request made Lanse feel a bit inexplicable; he and the Keda family had never had any contact, and he didn't like the Keda family very much.

They are very strong, very tough.

The entire gambling industry in Jingang City is firmly held in their hands; from this point, it can be seen that they are actually very greedy.

A family that is both strong and greedy, Lanse will not like them.

"Can I ask, why is this?"

Lanse's "counter-question" made Bandi a bit caught off guard; in the past, when facing these "small characters," he only needed to propose "we can meet."

Those people, even if they didn't know why they wanted to see them, would also run to meet him.

For many gang members, including leaders, being able to meet Bandi is a very face-saving thing.

It can even be used as a capital for bragging.

Lanse's attitude of not wanting to see him made him unable to find a reason for a while, but he reacted quickly. "I have a friend, he feels there is a little misunderstanding between you, so..."

As for which friend, he didn't say, and Lanse didn't ask, but he agreed.

"I have time in the afternoon."

"Then see you in the afternoon, Lanse."
