Chapter 583

The soundproofing of the new office was very good; the moment the door was closed, it cut off the inside from the outside.

Not a single bit of sound could get out, nor could it get in.

Ten minutes later, these few pathfinders of the Koda family left here satisfied; Lanse couldn't even be bothered to see them off.

Aierwen asked curiously, "After they finish their work, do we need to deal with them?"

The meaning of them sitting here just now was nothing more than hoping to be able to work for Lanse; some of them introduced their strengths.

Some people could manage companies, and some people had worked in casinos for a long time; they had always been engaged in management work.

And this was precisely what Lanse was relatively short of at the moment, but not particularly short of; he could take them, or he could not.

But Lanse had just clearly told them that they could continue to stay in Jinhang City to work for him.

This made these people ecstatic; they confessed quite a few of the current ideas within the Koda family, as well as the people who advocated these ideas.

Lanse asked Hailamu to handle it.

He was not afraid of those people running to Mantong to find connections to sue him or anything; he just didn't want to waste time on meaningless disputes!

This is like...

A model enthusiast has made all the preparations to start building, but wants to look at materials they haven't seen before.

It clearly only takes a few minutes to build, but they waste dozens of minutes on the meaningless search for new materials and viewing new materials.

In the end, didn't they still choose the most familiar old material?

With the support of Attorney General Teri, the support of Senator Kelifulan behind him, and the support of Congressman Wiliams within the city, it was impossible for him to lose!

And those contracts were not forced upon Bandi by him; it was Bandi who actively requested to trade them in exchange for Lanse not taking action against Fleming and other family members who had already been moved away.

This was their life-buying money, and there were multiple lawyers witnessing the scene; no matter how those people tossed and turned, the casinos and licenses would still be his in the end.

This was without suspense; it would just be a waste of time, so what Lanse had to do was not let these bastards waste his precious time.

As for these few pathfinders, they did indeed count as having performed a service.

"No need to deal with them for now, but have someone keep an eye on them and arrange for them to do work that isn't so critical," Lanse answered Aierwen's question.

But this did not clear up Aierwen's confusion; instead, he was even more confused. "Then why do we still keep them?"

He meant, since there was no intention to reuse these people, why keep them?

Why not just clean them all up, or let them leave Jinhang City, instead of putting them in the casinos or the company?

Lanse rocked his ankles, which were crossed, twice, and the light reflected from the tips of his mirror-polished leather shoes shone on the ceiling. "Because we are not locals."

Aierwen's eyes were still filled with confusion, and Lanse patiently explained to him, "Because we are not locals; we are not federal natives, and even less are we Jinhang City locals."

"To everyone here, we are outsiders, and what we are doing is making them feel fear and dissatisfaction."

"Aierwen, if a group of strangers you didn't know moved into our house now, and they occupied two of our rooms without our consent."

"In the subsequent quarrels and struggles, many of us failed; they occupied more rooms, and even wanted to drive us out of our house!"

"At this time, if someone stood up and told you, 'Let's fight them to the death,' then what would you do?"

Aierwen said without hesitation, "I would fight them to the death."

Others in the room also nodded one after another; this was also their thought.

Lanse nodded noncommittally and continued, "But if they only occupied the best few rooms, then indicated that everyone should live here equally, and were even willing to let you occasionally live in the good rooms, and play an important role in this family."

"Would you still be so determined to oppose them?"

"In a situation where no one proposed to do anything?"

Aierwen's expression changed slightly; just looking at the content Lanse said, he would very likely choose to continue watching.

So Lanse spread his hands. "Look, this is what we cannot do, and what we need to do."

"For the people here, especially those with a certain amount of power, Jinhang City is their home, and we are outsiders."

"If we appear too aggressive, take away their houses, and want to kill them all, leaving them all unable to continue to survive here."

"Then before that 'opponent' stands up, they will band together to resist us, to oppose us."

"Until the 'opponent' stands up and clearly opposes us, they will immediately join that camp, and the whole city will set off a storm, a trend, until we are all driven out of this city. We cannot let such a day appear, so the best way is to tell the people here that we are harmless."

"All attacks are counterattacks to avoid destruction. When their malice toward us ends, then we can coexist with them, and we can also abide by local rules and integrate with the locals!"

"When one day, we truly replace them and become locals in the true sense, we can do whatever we want."

"But now, we still need to be careful, cautious, and not incite their unanimous anger and hatred toward us."

"We must peacefully and stably let both sides integrate into one!"

Lanse stopped here, and the people in the room were all thinking, but honestly, he didn't hold out much hope that these people could understand much, because most of them had not received higher education.

Lanse had not received higher education either, but the super-school of society had taught him knowledge more profound than those who had received higher education.

This knowledge could not be learned in school, nor could just anyone learn it in society.

If they could feel two or three parts of the content, that was already the greatest harvest brought by his explanation.

After a while, Aierwen nodded with a serious face. "I think I understood a little."

Read the content carefully!

Lanse smiled and threw a cigarette to him. "It doesn't matter if you didn't understand, because I understand, and that is enough."

The seriousness on the faces of the others in the room was immediately replaced by smiles, and the laughter returned.

Yes, as long as Lanse understands, that is enough!

The telephone rang with a ding-a-ling in the room, and Lanse picked up the phone. "This is Lanse."

The voice of Attorney General Teri came from the receiver. "I read the newspaper; you solved these problems faster than I imagined. They are as simple as one plus one to you!"

"I'll ask by the way, is there anything I can do?"

Lanse smiled and said, "No, everything is fine now, after I fill in that number."

He paused as he spoke. "It's not that there's nothing at all; maybe I'll go to Mantong in a while, and we'll talk in detail then."

The issue of interest distribution within Likalai State must definitely change; the government officials and political celebrities who had a good relationship with Bandi before might not be on the same line as him, Congressman Wiliams, or even Senator Kelifulan.

But there must definitely be some overlap, so who should continue to share the money and who has lost the qualification to share the money must all be figured out.

This involves a very large amount of interest, so he must definitely go to Mantong with Congressman Wiliams again. It just so happens that he can meet with Attorney General Teri then to see if it is necessary to meet with the Governor again.

As the third-ranking figure in the state government, Attorney General Teri can see the Governor anytime, anywhere, and also has enough face to make the Governor spare some time.

It sounds incredible, but this is precisely very normal.

It is said that even the President has certain connections with several gangs!

This might be the advanced governing system of the Federation; who knows?

After chatting for a few sentences, Lanse hung up the phone. Next, the phone kept ringing; many people wanted to know what exactly had happened, or whether certain things would change.

The ascension of a new king means that the rules of the old king are no longer effective. People are eager to know what kind of changes Lanse will bring to the underground world and the surface world of this city after reaching the top in Jinhang City.

Just like what the federal government has always been doing but will not say, gangs helped the government deal with many troublesome problems during this period and also helped the government ensure social order and stability.

Lanse's opinion will become the iron law of this city after 7:30, until the sun rises.

But even when the sun rises, in those places where the sunlight cannot reach, one must still obey the iron law set by Lanse!

Looking at it this way, sunlight cannot reach every inch of the place, but shadows can!

Many reporters also gathered outside the company; they now also wanted to interview Lanse. The Jinhang Casino contributed an unimaginable achievement to the city's tax revenue.

The Bandi family at least did a good job in operating the casino, and Lanse is just a novice. They are very worried that Lanse will mess everything up, so they want to probe the situation first.

Everyone seems to be contacting Lanse, and everyone wants to get some new news from Lanse. Even Wiliam called to tell him that he hadn't been over for a while, and Patricia and Emily missed him very much.

This is perhaps the most seductive part of power, even if you don't do anything, just lie there.

This city, and the people in this city, will move on their own!
