Chapter 628

Heilier is a city in the southwest of Liklai State, and it can also be said to be the center of the southwest. There is also a bay port here, and it is also very lively.

But because this is not a deep-water port, heavy cargo ships cannot dock, so although it is lively, its value and status in terms of economy are far inferior to Jingang City.

Heilier has a permanent population of about six hundred thousand and a floating population of over one hundred thousand. It undertakes part of the work of splitting or concentrating materials.

Materials coming from the neighboring state will be concentrated and packed here, and then transported to Jingang City by train or cargo ship, and finally loaded onto ships and sent abroad.

Or materials coming from Jingang City will be sorted here according to their destinations, and finally transported to their different destinations through different transportation methods.

It is a supporting city, but it is still more than three hundred kilometers away from Jingang City. Even if it is the outermost periphery of the metropolitan area, it is still far behind.

This is the lair of the Marcus family. The Marcus family was organized by some young people who worked as porters in the early days.

The original purpose of forming the Marcus family was to resist the cruel exploitation and oppression of capitalists, but as there were more and more people in the Marcus family, they no longer stood up for justice for those exploited and oppressed workers.

Because it is in the coastal area, the problem of smuggling here is also rampant, which has also become their main source of income.

Of course, smuggling and selling various kinds of alcohol is also one of their most important businesses.

Almost 99% of the gangs in the entire Federation are doing smuggling alcohol business. After all, profits of several times or even more than ten times are enough to move anyone.

A high-level cadre put down the phone, and the person sitting on the chair not far away asked casually, "Whose call?"

The high-level cadre leaned back and put his feet on the table.

He stuffed a cigarette into his mouth, then took out a match and struck it on his jeans. The flame ignited with a hiss.

After he lit the cigarette, he shook it, threw the match with white smoke on the ground, took a puff of the cigarette with a hiss, and said, "It's Peter from the Death Angels. You've met him."

Hearing this name, the person sitting on the chair thought for a while before suddenly realizing and nodding. "Yes, we met at the conference before last."

"What's wrong with him?"

"He is asking about the Lanse family. I don't know if there is any conflict."

The person sitting on the chair frowned immediately when he heard the keyword "Lanse family."

A portion of the smuggled alcohol in Jingang City is sent to Jingang City through their hands, which is the land transportation method.

It is definitely easier to hide alcohol in train cars than on smuggling ships, and railway personnel are also easier to bribe. Just like that, several train cars of alcohol enter Jingang City.

But as the Lanse family recently toughly changed the smuggling alcohol market strategy in Jingang City, now all alcohol is not allowed to be sold directly to those gangs.

It must be sold to the Lanse family first, and then the Lanse family will sell it to other gangs. To put it simply, there is one more link.

Some smugglers think that this is something the Lanse family came up with to make money. The alcohol that could have gone directly into the hands of the terminal gangs now has an extra distribution link, and the Lanse family must be increasing the price on this basis.

In this way, it is equivalent to them levying a "tax" on every bottle of alcohol in Jingang City, but no one knows how much they will collect.

"Didn't he (Lanse) say that we should go and talk to them about these things at the end of the month?"

"Who is going?"

The guy sitting on the chair is a high-level cadre of the Marcus family, and the person he is talking to is also one.

The person on the phone scratched his head. "It's very likely that I will go."

"I have been responsible for the business in Jingang City." The guy who spoke had brown hair, didn't look like the mainstream race of the Federation, and his skin color looked slightly darker.

His name is Zabri, an immigrant descendant.

Most of the Marcus family are immigrant descendants. After all, most of the people doing hard labor at the docks and stations are cheap immigrant labor, which is cheap and can be used to death.

This gang is somewhat similar to the Lanse family in this respect, but only in part, not all.

The core of the Lanse family is almost all imperial immigrants, while in the Marcus family, anyone can join them, but the main group is immigrant descendants.

When there are many immigrant descendants, it is easy to produce small collectivism. Immigrants from the same place are more likely to huddle together. Over time, there are some contradictions within the current Marcus family.

The three ethnic groups with the largest number of people hold the power of the entire gang, while those ethnic groups with fewer people are naturally squeezed out of the core circle of the family.

It's just that there is no problem with the gang's operation now, so the contradiction has not broken out. If the family's operation starts to get worse, the contradiction will definitely break out. The ethnic group Zabri belongs to is the largest ethnic group in the Marcus family, so the fat job of Jingang City can be handed over to him to be responsible for.

Hearing him say this, his friend couldn't help laughing. "So you are going to see that son of a bitch again?"

The "son of a bitch" in his mouth refers to a high-level cadre of the Holy Bell Party. The Holy Bell Party claims to be the "bell ringer," specializing in ringing the "Gospel of God," and at the same time spreading the Gospel of God.

And the way they spread the gospel is to treat those immigrant groups in a vicious way.

They consider themselves "God's pious white lambs," while other ethnic groups are "variegated bastard lambs," who are not worthy of staying in God's pasture with them.

The western region of Liklai State is a large area of conservative farmers. Their concepts are more conservative, and they are also very radical. These two words are not contradictory when put together.

What is conservative is that they do not accept the concepts of outsiders, and what is radical is their attitude and means of dealing with outsiders. These people are the same as those stubborn conservatives in the central region of the Federation.

At the end of slavery, the abolition of slavery had become an unchangeable fact, but before the complete abolition of slavery, they formed a large number of "slave-killing teams."

In name, it is said to protect the safety of farmers and local people, but in fact, it is hatred of the abolition of slavery, venting anger by slaughtering slaves, and trying their best not to let these people become citizens of the Federation like them.

As long as they are slaves, regardless of whether they are runaway slaves, free people, or even citizens of the Federation, anyway, as long as the skin is correct, they will shoot.

The Holy Bell Party is a conservative radical organization born in that environment. Whenever they kill those slaves, there are special people wearing religious costumes, ringing the holy bell in their hands in a religious ritual way, and then "cleansing the sinful soul."

They inherited these. The life of immigrant descendants in the western region of Liklai State is very difficult. It is even reported that there are still slaves in some farms there.

Although the doctrine of the Holy Bell Party is extreme, it also needs to make a profit. For the sake of money, they are not unable to do business with immigrant descendants.

Sometimes it is really difficult to distinguish whether they are hating immigrant descendants or hating the poor among immigrant descendants.

But no matter what, showing dissatisfaction with immigrants is a necessary element to become a member of the Holy Bell Party. As Zabri with darker skin, encountering people from the Holy Bell Party will definitely be unpleasant.

Zabri waved his hand and cursed a few times, and the two skipped this topic.

"Did the boss tell you anything?"

Zabri was silent for a while and nodded. "We don't care how the Lanse family handles these wines. As long as he doesn't hurt our interests, he can sell them to others for as much as he wants. This is our bottom line."

"He wants to make money, and we also want to make money, but he can't make us earn less because he wants to make money."

His companion nodded. "That is indeed the truth."

"When are you going?"

Zabri glanced at the calendar. "There are still a few days left."

Not only Zabri is preparing, but the people of the Holy Bell Party are also preparing, and the people of the Thorn Gang are also preparing.

Because of the local "belief" problem in the western region of Liklai State, basically the places outside the city belong to the autonomy of farmers.

As long as there is demand, they will openly violate the laws of the Federal Government, including Prohibition.

They also have many farms brewing wine. After all, the profit of this thing is indeed huge.

And Jingang City is an important area for consuming alcohol, so the Holy Bell Party will definitely arrange for people to meet Lanse.

As for the Thorn Gang, they don't export much alcohol, but import more. It is possible that they will also go, but not to talk about selling alcohol to Jingang City, but to see if they can get cheap alcohol from Jingang City.

For a time, the underground world of the entire Liklai State began to move slowly, and everything revolved around Jingang City, the core of the storm.

But at the core of this storm, it is surprisingly quiet at this time!

The operators of various bar blocks have begun to enter the business state. For bars, except for a few areas with super high consumption that need fine decoration.

In places like the port area, as long as there is a place for people to sit down, a bar counter, and a bar, even a residential house can operate an alcohol business.

At first, people were a bit unaccustomed to the bar operators suddenly changing people, or the bars suddenly changing locations.

But for alcoholics, what they care about is not these. As long as the bar can provide alcohol stably, that is good enough!

After a short two or three days, the sales of various bars began to climb rapidly. In an environment with relatively no competition and danger, the business of various bars is very good.

Lanse assured them that the Hazardous Materials Management Bureau would not check them, the police would not check them, the Fire Department would not check them, and the prosecutor would not trouble them.

Except for the Tax Bureau that Lanse couldn't handle, it can be said that all the law enforcement departments that could trouble them in Jingang City had been handled by Lanse!

Selling secretly in the past is definitely not as profitable as selling openly now!
