Chapter 872: Waiter 6661

~10 min read 1,826 words

People must have a sense of proportion.

When Senator Cleveland said he had a "meeting" waiting, he was telling Ambassador Casia that you can hang up the phone.

Ambassador Casia also very decisively obeyed, "I know, then I won't disturb you."

"Hmm..."

After putting down the phone, Senator Cleveland glanced at Tang Mu, "You tell Lanse that this ambassador has a friend who has mastered the accounts of Lapa leaders in the Federation, let Lanse handle it."

Tang Mu stood up immediately after listening. "I know."

According to the current laws of the Federation, if an account is dormant in a bank for a certain period of time, it will enter an "inactive account."

At this time, the funds in the inactive account will be transferred to a designated account. If the owner of the inactive account wants to get this money back, they only need to apply to the bank and prove that this account is theirs, and this money is also theirs.

Very simple.

However, the vast majority of people who lose these cannot get this money back, mainly because they won't apply.

In the Federation, more than half of the money in these anonymous accounts is invisible, otherwise they wouldn't be stored in these anonymous accounts.

This led to the fact that once these accounts were inactive and the money was moved away, basically no one would come to get this money back.

As for where this money eventually went?

Honestly, a large part was "appealed and retrieved." Of course, whether it was really appealed and retrieved by the owner of the account, or illegally retrieved by some insiders through some technical means, that is another matter.

This rule was formulated by the Federal Savings Bank, the Federal Bank Committee, and Congress together.

Gomez didn't know. Even if he didn't mention it, this money would eventually enter the federal government's pocket. It's just that there would be many people who could share it, and each person would share relatively little.

He could provide these account numbers, then Senator Cleveland and the others could share a little more, that's all.

Senator Cleveland walked away with big strides. While walking, he said, "In the future, you ask them what they want to do first. You handle this kind of unimportant phone call yourself."

This gave him more power, and Tang Mu naturally wouldn't refuse.

Soon Tang Mu made a phone call to Lanse, saying what happened here, "The money in the bank will be handled by special people, you only need the account number."

"The senator's meaning is to let you see what that... what guy has any demands, after all, this is not a small amount."

Lanse agreed, and he actually already had some guesses in his heart.

Soon he made a phone call to Ambassador Casia, "I heard you have some accounts that need to be handled?"

When Ambassador Casia heard this, only a bitter smile remained on his face. He suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.

Lanse didn't urge him, just waiting quietly.

After about ten seconds, a sigh from Ambassador Casia came from the receiver, "I can explain..."

"No, no, no, Casia, I didn't call you to hear what you explain. I want to know who needs help."

Lanse's words were decisive, without room for refusal or discussion, which made Ambassador Casia not easy to mediate, so he could only curse twice, and then gave Lanse the answer he wanted.

"Gomez, you know each other."

Lanse laughed twice, "Yes, we know each other, the relationship is not bad."

"Is he in the Federation now?"

"I heard he returned to Lapa?"

Ambassador Casia was a bit embarrassed, "He just came over these past few days."

"Let him come to see me."

Subsequently, Lanse hung up the phone. Ambassador Casia looked at the receiver in his hand and sighed again, then shook his head.

He soon dialed Gomez's phone and told him what happened.

Listening to what Ambassador Casia said, Gomez's heart was already filled with swear words. He was very irritable, and even a bit violent.

"I know, I'll go see him now."

Mr. Casia also actively said, "You bring some gifts, say some good words. In fact, he is not a person who is difficult to talk to."

At this time, Gomez was already a bit absent-minded, "Hmm, I know."

This is very embarrassing, in fact, and Gomez can be sure that Lanse is very angry now. Anyone who has such a thing happen to anyone will be very angry, including himself!

This is like someone who has a friend who contacted his brother-in-law Diego through him, and now intends to cross him and contact Diego directly. He will definitely be very angry.

Even he himself will be very angry, so what about Lanse?

Will he be angrier?

Anger is definitely anger, but not that angry.

A person has experienced many similar things, and when he encounters it again, his emotions will be very stable.

Just like you just obtained an important resource, just the first plot explosion point can make you reward yourself once.

But the next time you see it here, you will feel that it is actually just like that, and you can only look back to find higher-energy content to push the double points to achieve the final goal.

A resource might have been referred to two or three times and lost its value because it has been "eaten" and "experienced."

Lanse's life has also encountered many similar things. He will no longer be like a young man who knows nothing, feeling that this is not giving him face, and he must retaliate.

An adult's time is not that simple, not just love, hate, and enmity, but also many complex things.

If Gomez can continuously provide him with some... value, then they are still good friends.

If he can't provide it, then when his value is squeezed dry, it is the time for Lanse to say goodbye to him.

Discussions about the Lanse family have also increased a lot.

Some people say that the Lanse family is the most unlike-gangster gangster in the Federation.

They don't exploit and squeeze ordinary people, but instead consider the interests of ordinary people, although they also operate criminal businesses, such as smuggling wine.

But please, at this time in the Federation, not many people really regard smuggling wine as a crime!

Especially local people in the Federation, they don't think drinking a cup is a mistake. Those who really think smuggling wine and buying and selling wine is a crime are only those who have just immigrated to the Federation.

Some people also think that this is a small trick used by the Lanse family to wash white. They use this way to please the public and society, making people feel that they are harmless.

There are quite a few people who support this view. In any period, people are complex. Some people might not understand them at all, just simply don't like them, and oppose all their positive remarks, that's all.

But no matter what, the Lanse family's influence is spreading from Laizhou to a wider range—

Although Lanse let them call themselves Wanli Group employees, ordinary people in Jincheng would say "that's the Lanse family's people." Of course, it didn't matter. Even if Lanse was completely washed white, the history of being a gangster wouldn't change.

However, this also made federal people discover a gangster completely different from their cognition, who only knew how to plunder, blackmail, and obtain wealth through criminal acts like injury. Some people also thought that the Lanse family was not a gangster.

They have legal businesses in the future, they... in some issues, their means are similar to gangsters, but this can't be said that they are gangsters, right!

Just like gangsters will use weapons to hurt others, ordinary people will use weapons to hurt others to protect their own safety. They both used weapons to hurt others, can it be said that ordinary people are also gangsters or gangster members?

If the reputation of the Lanse family is changing in a direction that makes people unimaginable, then Admiral Myers is now truly in trouble.

The army side has protested to the Presidential Palace and the Ministry of Defense, thinking that Jincheng was attacked, a large number of warships were destroyed, the naval base was destroyed, and a large number of soldiers were killed and injured, all of which were Admiral Myers' problems.

He didn't consider at all that it was wartime now, anything could happen, not to mention that a movie "Sneak Attack on Jincheng" was released last year, expounding the possibility

But, it was only a few hundred thousand after all.

For the lowest-grade Copper Lion whiskey, every bottle could bring Lanse a net profit of about ten dollars.

The Lawrence distillery, which was still constantly expanding, could produce about 15,000 bottles of Copper Lion whiskey every day, which meant 150,000 in net profit.

Then there were Silver Lion, Gold Lion, and some other spirits.

Every day, these spirits could bring Lanse a net profit of about 400,000 to 500,000, and his distillery was still constantly expanding, and his profits didn't just come from spirits, but also from other areas.

So, this amount of money was something Lanse had long since stopped taking seriously.

He nodded slightly, signaling for Gomez to pack them all up.

Gomez didn't know if Lanse had forgiven him, and he looked a bit nervous; after he finished repacking the items, he handed them to Meiluo, who had someone put them into the inner room.

Only at this moment did Lanse let him sit down.

"When they told me you intended to bypass me and contact Congress directly, my first reaction wasn't anger," Lanse said with a slight smile, using this as his opening remark.

Gomez immediately became somewhat nervous, "I can explain, Mr. Lanse!"

Lanse raised his hand to stop him, "No, no need to be nervous, Gomez."

"Everyone wants to become better, everyone wants to progress; that is not a mistake!"

"Just like my subordinates; if they didn't aspire to become captains or cadres, then there would definitely be something wrong with them."

"Only a soldier who wants to become a general is an excellent soldier, so I can understand your actions; you want to progress and become better than you are now!"

Hearing Lanse's reasonable remarks, Gomez breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really great that you can understand me!"

Lanse smiled, "You... want to obtain something?"

"These things of yours, and your sincerity in wanting to progress—what do you want to get from the Federation, from us?"

"Money, status, power, or something else?"

Lanse wore an expression that suggested he hadn't taken what Gomez had done to heart, as if he truly didn't care!

Gomez squeezed out a smile, "I just want to better serve... you and the Senator."
