Chapter 640: Exchange, New Job, and Running Away

Standing at the entrance of the company and looking back at the building, which wasn't particularly tall but had a solemn and respectful atmosphere, sunlight emerged from behind the clouds and shone on him.

At this very moment, Karl had a feeling of "as if being reborn."

The whole world seemed to become colorful at this moment. The gray and dull world became colorful, and he looked at the people on the street.

Obviously, there was no big difference from when he came, but for some reason, the people who made him feel uncomfortable when he came—

People who seemed to be staring at him with judgmental eyes all became full of smiles, just like the wind in midsummer, stirring his heart!

He didn't know that his life had entered another stage. He no longer looked at the world from the perspective of a "victim of life," but from the perspective of a "successful person in life," looking down.

So everyone is a good person, the world is beautiful, and even the air is sweet.

He hummed a little tune, looked at the street, found the direction home, and set off again lightly.

An hour, three or forty minutes later, he returned to the New Port District, returned to the "office."

Boni was talking to others. He was "fired." He was very sad, but he obeyed Lans's decision, and he also planned to go to Hope's side to see.

Seeing Karl come in from the outside, both of their movements paused. Boni didn't know how to talk to this good friend. When he left Lans's side, they had some small unhappiness.

He knew this was not Karl's problem, he just wanted him to be well, he was just a bit impatient.

Boni felt that he shouldn't have left Karl alone at that time. He took the initiative to walk over, wanting to explain something, but saw Karl's strange gaze.

His movements stopped, standing there, feeling some panic in his heart, as if... something familiar from childhood was becoming strange.

People will feel uneasy because of these changes. He didn't know what to say, what to do.

Karl took a step and brushed past him, walked into the room, stood in front of the office that originally belonged to Boni, and then turned around.

He took out the cigar from his pocket, took it out of the metal cigar tube, and then lit it.

Everyone looked at him, including Boni.

Some people's expressions became strange and subtle, and some people's expressions became slightly dissatisfied.

He took a puff of the cigar, let the smoke and oral mucosa fully combine, and then spat it out slowly.

The cigar smoke was thicker. He raised his chin, and the smoke he spat out was like an arrow, spraying out a distance before starting to drift away.

"From today on."

He lowered his chin, and his gaze swept across the faces of these friends and partners in the room, "I have the final say here!"

Some people's faces showed surprise, and some people's dissatisfaction turned into anger.

This person Boni is quite good. He has ideals, persistence, and a bottom line, as well as some noble qualities that Lans said.

But this is not a chaotic area. He shouldn't be here. He should be in the ruins of the front line in Slader.

Standing up as an ordinary person to resist the atrocities of the Dantela Republic army, he will become a hero, an example, a source of strength for people to resist invaders!

Everything he possesses will encourage people to follow him, but this is the Federation.

A stable society, mature commercial operation, everything is looking at money.

In such a society where black and white have long been indistinguishable, his excellence makes him conspicuous and independent.

This also means that he is not gregarious, at least not the mainstream group.

He will stop some people from doing things he thinks are bad at work, and will also encourage people to do some things he thinks are good.

His lack of gregariousness gave him his own personality charm. Those angry people are all his followers.

But it also made him have people who don't like him, those who show smiles.

"You betrayed Boni!" a kid beside Boni shouted, as if he had been wronged, or as if he had been stabbed by something sharp, and his whole person was about to jump up!

Karl shook his head, "I didn't betray anyone. Boni is unwilling to work for Mr. Lans, and I am willing. This is not betrayal."

"And...", he took another puff of the cigar and spat smoke at the man, "This is my and Boni's business. You want to express your opinion, sorry, you don't have the qualification to speak here!"

The kid still wanted to say something, but Boni stopped him, "I thought you would leave with me."

Karl shook his head, "After you left, I chatted with Mr. Lans for a while. He is a very wise and virtuous person."

"He made me understand a truth."

"You have your ideals, and I have my ideals."

"The past you was like a sun, making me, and even some of us, mistakenly think that your ideals are our ideals."

"I suddenly understand now, that's different."

"Boni, we have been poor for a lifetime, bitter for a lifetime, and no one has ever bent down to reach out to us and say help us."

"Now there is a chance, and I will not give it up!"

His expression became a bit firm?

This word is not so easy to use, but it can be seen that he is indeed very serious, very firm, and even a bit excited.

He held the cigar in one hand and stood in front of them, "I swear, I want to get ahead, I want to become an amazing person, this is my ideal!"

Boni's eyes revealed some disappointment, "Even if... you have to hurt others?"

Karl took a deep breath. He used the hand holding the cigar to point at Boni with the cigar, "Even if I have to hurt others!"

"Come on, Boni, we have suffered so much, been hurt by so many people, who has pitied us?"

"We don't owe this world anything, it owes us!"

His eyes were a bit gloomy. He always felt that Boni was stupid. Obviously, they could earn more money, obviously they could have a higher status, obviously they could do many things.

But because of his ideas, his bottom line, they have always been very passive!

That is Boni's ideal, not his, not others'.

He also understood that the past him was shrouded in Boni's personality charm, so he couldn't see the future, because that was not his future, nor his ideal.

After getting rid of Boni, a brighter sun dispelled the influence Boni brought to him, letting him get rid of Boni's personality charm.

He realized that the past him was actually quite stupid.

But now, he is different.

"Okay, I don't want to argue with you, we are brothers."

"You go to pursue your ideals, I go to become the person above others I want to be, I wish you can get your wish, brother!"

Boni looked at him, their unyielding gazes intertwined. After a while, Boni nodded, "Good, I also wish you can become a person above others."

After speaking, he turned and left. Several little friends glared at Karl with dissatisfaction or anger, and then followed Boni away.

But more people stayed here.

Karl took another puff of the cigar. He looked at those who stayed around, and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing until tears were about to flow out.

So, we have always been wrong...

After Boni and those people went far away, Karl returned to the office and sat in the position that used to be Boni's.

Suddenly he found that this position is the best place in this room, because sitting here, he can see everything in the room.

The new "boss" takes office, and those who are unwilling to leave will naturally follow in.

The good news is that everyone knows Karl, no need to start over.

The bad news is that the current Karl is harder to deal with than the previous Boni.

Karl sat in that chair. He didn't even notice that he was subconsciously learning Lans's sitting posture, crossing his legs, one hand on his thigh, one hand holding the cigar, placed on the edge of the table.

"Boni and I are brothers, we have known each other since childhood. Although he has his ideals and went to pursue his ideals, he left us." "But I don't want anyone to speak ill of him behind his back."

Others smiled and nodded, indicating that they are not that kind of person.

Afterwards, Karl showed a satisfied smile. He likes this feeling.

"Boni and I are different. I want to become a person above others, I want to have more wealth, higher power."

"I want to move to a villa in the Bay Area, I want to sleep with a beautiful fair-skinned girl every day, I want the room to be piled with banknotes."

"I believe this is also your dream."

"So!"

He increased his tone, and his gaze stayed on each person's face again, then moved away, "Whoever obstructs us from realizing this dream is our enemy!"

"Boni and I are different. I won't be as easy to talk to as him. Right is right, wrong is wrong."

"When working, I am your boss. Only when not working, I am your friend."

"I don't want anyone to fall into my hands because they can't put themselves in the right position!"

No errors, no content, see it at a glance!

He stopped for a while when he said this, and then looked at one of them, "Continue to watch Hope. You don't need to be too close, just know his daily itinerary and where he lives every day."

He said and took out a stack of money from his pocket, took out a few five-dollar bills, and put them on the table, "This is your expense."

That person's face was full of surprise. There are at least thirty dollars here, which is not a small amount!

His hand touched the banknote, and at the same time said "Thank you for your..."

The word "generosity" hadn't been said yet, and his hand was pressed by Karl, "Money is given to you, and trust is also given to you. Don't mess things up for me!"

He grabbed this guy's hand hard. The latter felt a bit of pain, but nodded alertly, "I know... boss!"

Karl let go of his hand and looked at others, "This time Mr. Lans gave us a new job because the naval base next door will soon be full of soldiers. You know, they are young people like you, most of them are stronger than you, and older."

"They have a demand for sex, so we need to recruit a group of people to help them solve these problems."

"I'll tell you some requirements first. First, they must be voluntary."

"If I let you know that any of you forced others to do this, I guarantee you will regret coming to this world!"

"Secondly, we don't deduct their money, ensuring that at least everyone can get one dollar!"

"Finally, Mr. Lans promised that no one will be hurt. If someone is hurt, he will come forward."

Karl twisted his neck when he said this, "This is the first formal job I have done after working for Mr. Lans. I hope you don't mess it up."

People in the room had no opposition to these things. If it were Boni, he would definitely not do this for Lans.

This is the difference between Karl and Boni. It cannot be said that Karl must be wrong and Boni must be right.

Not taking the initiative to recruit women who need help seems to respect them, but this is no different from letting them starve to death for meaningless dignity. This is also a kind of atrocity, just not visible.

On the contrary, Karl helped them find a stable way to live. For those women who are willing to engage in this work, this undoubtedly gave them a chance to live.

Not only are they willing to do it, many girls in the Federation are also willing to do this. As long as it is voluntary, there is no problem at all!

Karl's execution ability is very strong. He has strong desires and clear goals, as well as a bottom line that is flexible at any time to overcome difficulties, so his work went very smoothly.

In two days, more than six hundred people were recruited, and many people were inquiring, wanting to join in.

After all, that is a business of one hundred thousand people. Although they are not sure whether Lans can get the "exclusive operation" right, but... anyway, believing in Mr. Lans is correct.

One hundred thousand people, even if everyone has three times a month, and each time they can get one dollar, that is a business of three hundred thousand. Everyone can get hundreds of dollars. Is there any job more comfortable than this?

Stable, high income, and no danger.

When Karl told Lans about this, Lans was also more or less surprised. He thought it would take a few days, but didn't expect it to be done so quickly.

He selected a few from the girls in Red Heels before and asked them to teach these new employees how to deal with their new jobs.

Lans also introduced some more convenient systems, such as besides their names, they also have a number.

This is to facilitate guests to remember them.

Those young guys may not be able to remember the names of everyone who has received them, and may mix them up, but the number is absolutely correct.

In short, Lans is looking forward to their performance.

Besides this, the new sales rules are progressing very smoothly.

Because all bars must obtain wine from Lans here, even if they are unwilling to disclose the specific business situation of the bar, Lans here has a clear statistic.

It is even that he can analyze which bar secretly obtained wine from other channels based on the specific data of each bar purchasing goods from him.

Data itself will not cheat, only people will cheat.

Judging from the overall sales volume, the effect is much better than Lans estimated.

A large number of small, private bars were cleared out, and the sources of guests began to become unified.

People operating these bars suddenly found that since the new sales rules were applied, their profits were not only higher than imagined, but the wine prices they got were the same as before, and some were even cheaper.

Because the price of Lans's wine remains unchanged, other wines lose their competitiveness once they raise prices.

In the Bay Area and Starlight, the situation might be a little better. There are wealthy guests there. Even if the wine price rises, they should consume it, and they can afford it.

But in bars outside these two districts, the sales situation of all wines that raised prices is very bad.

The poorer the place, the more so.

In the case of such high wine prices, even if a cup has a difference of three cents, alcoholics will choose other wines.

Because it is simple to get goods, and the Hazardous Materials Administration became deaf and blind overnight, so now bars don't accumulate much goods.

This also facilitates them to adjust their business strategies, so the sales situation of wine is very intuitive. What sells well and what doesn't sell well is clear at a glance.

Lans allows suppliers to adjust prices at any time to cope with market changes, but each price adjustment must have a forty-eight-hour cooling-off period.

Only three or four cooling-offs were used, and all wine prices returned to the previous prices, and some were even lower to obtain greater market competitiveness.

This is also what Lans wants to see. He monopolized the wine sales market of the entire New Jincheng, but he doesn't want monopoly behavior to appear in the brand. This kind of competition will eventually only benefit those alcoholics.

Alcoholics could drink a cup for twenty-five cents before, but now they can drink two cups for forty cents.

It seems that they earned it, but in fact, the people who really made a profit are the bars, Lans, and also those suppliers.

It was also at such a time that Peter (a reserve cadre of the Death Angel) arrived in New Jincheng with his people.

He has the same problem as the dead Jordan. He feels that the air here is too humid and too bad.

From entering the city, he kept shaking his clothes to cool his body. The north has already started to cool down at this time, but the south is still in the hottest time.

He didn't directly find trouble with Lans, but started to carefully inquire about the Lans family in this city.

Although his actions also fell into the eyes of interested people, he soon discovered a Lans family that was not quite the same as the rumors.

"The police chief is Lans's person..."

"The mayor and Lans are good friends..."

"The Lans family is the strongest gang in New Jincheng, bar none..."

"Now they control the wine sales of the entire city, and also operate all the casinos..."

Messages gathered one after another. The next day, when the company's people were ready to watch, they actually ran away overnight!

People who can mix to the level of reserve cadre in a big gang are not fools. Peter knows that he can't chew the Lans family, so he won't stay here.

Caution and prudence saved his life, but he intends to report this news to the gang.
