Chapter 879: Long-term Concern and New Appointment

Jinbiao Wine Industry's factory was burned clean by a fire, which caused big news in Denuozhou, and the Ministry of Defense also knew about this matter.

It's not that Jinbiao Wine Industry is an industry of the Ministry of Defense, but they also undertook part of the production and transportation work of "military supplies."

Obviously, now they cannot continue to produce these military supplies, so their orders can only be temporarily transferred to others, for example, Lansi, who is currently a big producer.

Because the old men won't wait for him to rebuild the factory and then continue to split money from his national defense sales profits; the old men won't wait for a minute.

On the fifth day of the fire, the Ministry of Defense confirmed that Jinbiao Wine Industry could not complete the Ministry of Defense's orders, so they called Lansi.

For contracting Jinbiao Wine Industry's national defense orders, Lansi didn't refuse.

Although earning less, it is still earning, isn't it?

Aierwen did very well in these things; Lansi trusted him very much and didn't ask much.

He is chatting with Luo Jiefu.

The scale of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce has expanded again, especially this time they sold a batch of tight medicine, making a big profit.

The official selling price of more than one million medicine is now more than three million, especially those special anti-inflammatory drugs and special painkillers; they are in great demand on the battlefield, and no matter how much, someone can eat it.

This is just on the surface; on the black market, the price of these two special drugs will be higher!

Three-dollar special medicine can be sold for twenty dollars; war has brought many changes; when ordinary people are feeling these changes, some people are already counting money.

"... This batch of goods has already gone out more than half."

Luo Jiefu was happy from ear to ear; he was an ordinary person all his life, and he didn't expect that in his later years, he suddenly became a capitalist.

Perhaps this is what people call the "Federal Dream," but he feels that using the Federal Dream to describe everything he has now is not accurate.

It should be described as "Lansi Dream," because without Lansi, there would be nothing he has now.

"We have already established relationships with some international brokers; later, if there are any tight materials, we can sell them directly to them, and the price will be very reasonable."

"They want to invite us to be guests, and I refused."

Lansi nodded while listening, "You can handle these things yourself; your life experience and history are enough for me to rest assured about you."

"You just need to remember, don't take risks, whether it is in business or social, you must do not take risks."

"Those people who invite you, you arrange some subordinates to go, and observe these people after they come back; don't let them be in important positions."

Luo Jiefu nodded and agreed; he knew Lansi's meaning.

There are many kinds of brokers; some help capital find power, and some help power find capital; this is the most common.

But besides these, there are more brokers active in this world.

Some of them can help people buy people, some can help people get all kinds of rare animals, some know the giant thieves and fierce bandits in the underground world, and can get the jewelry that customers want.

Naturally, there are also people who can obtain all kinds of tight materials, communicating with each other.

Need to have money, or interests that can be exchanged.

Lansi let Luo Jiefu have limited contact with them, but don't contact too deeply.

These people can do anything for money, including their means of corrupting others, and this is precisely the reason why these brokers can have a place on the international stage—

They can insight into people's desires and use them.

Luo Jiefu and these people are just ordinary people; they may not be able to withstand the corruption of these brokers, and Lansi doesn't hope that this old guy eventually falls into his hands.

After talking about this matter, Lansi asked curiously, "I haven't heard about your family's situation; will they have any complaints about me letting you work so intensely?"

Luo Jiefu laughed loudly after listening, "Of course not!"

"They feel that I, this light bulb, was finally lit in my later years!"

"Lansi, not just me, my family, children, and others in the Chamber of Commerce, all sincerely thank you and everything you have done for us!"

"In fact, I have long wanted to invite you to my home to eat something, but I always feel that it might be too presumptuous..."

Lansi shook his head and said, "Of course not; we are friends; there is no presumptuous or not presumptuous between friends."

He glanced at the desk calendar, "Would your wife be willing to enter the kitchen for me tonight?"

Luo Jiefu was overjoyed!

A home banquet is of extraordinary significance to Federation people; whether it is the inviter or the invitee, as long as they know that Lansi went to his home for dinner, with no one else, only him and Luo Jiefu's family.

Then when people look at Luo Jiefu in the future, it will be different from now.

Lansi being able to go to his home for dinner means that he is also Lansi's "confidant."

This is not a simple home banquet; this is a ladder leading to a higher class, shining with light!

"I'll call her now, and notify the children to come back..."

Luo Jiefu went to the lounge next door; there is a phone in the lounge, instead of using the phone on Lansi's desk.

After about two or three minutes, Luo Jiefu came back with a face full of joy; he sat back opposite Lansi, "She wants to take out her best dish; you might have eaten those ingredients, but you have definitely never eaten those flavors!"

"I'm looking forward to it!", Lansi affirmed, and then talked about another topic, "Have you read the news recently?"

Luo Jiefu recalled the news recently seriously; he said somewhat cautiously, "I have read it."

Lansi raised his hand to soothe his emotions, "You are a bit nervous.", he said while opening the cigarette case, signaling Luo Jiefu to take one himself, and at the same time he also took one himself.

After both lit the fire, Lansi continued, "The Federation has some ideas about the Xiang Yalan region; there are rich resources there, but the local people don't know how to use them efficiently."

"At the same time, its geographical environment is too important to the Federation!"

Luo Jiefu nodded while smoking.

He also went to participate in Lansi's birthday when Lansi had his birthday; after all, he is the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce, so he and his family were very lucky not to be frightened by the shelling.

But this doesn't mean they couldn't feel it; in the shelling, the Federation was not as strong as they imagined.

Shells would take people's lives, would destroy the buildings here, making everything beautiful become bad.

Until this moment, he still remembers that he went to the pier; the pier was an area that was shelled relatively more.

He saw craters on the ground, bricks that were lifted, and dark red blood all over the ground.

He saw workers using tools and hammers, trying to get the fragments embedded in the wall down.

And also saw the dark red blood stains on the wall.

Everything was like hell on earth; he heard that a shell exploded in the crowd.

Dozens of people, all lying on the ground in an instant.

The circle of people where the shell landed, almost couldn't find a complete piece, first cut into pieces by fragments, then stirred into pieces by the air wave, too miserable.

Until now, Luo Jiefu doesn't dare to go to the port; he heard that many people stepped on meat pieces or something; this is definitely the most terrifying page in the history of New Jincheng.

It is precisely because its "aftereffect" is so big that people will constantly discuss it, and then take out "Stealing New Jincheng" to verify it.

Some people insist that if Xiang Yalan was in the hands of the Federation, perhaps all this could be avoided.

Of course, they also need a Navy General who is willing to send picket ships out to work!

There is actually no hatred between Federation people and Xiang Yalan people, but their position is very important, and Federation people will not give up.

"The federal government will occupy Xiang Yalan, and then turn it into a part of the Federation, and then it is possible to expand four or five states."

"From the perspective of the President, these things are easy to do!", he used his fingertips to hover on the desktop and scribble a few times, just like signing, "Just need him to write his name at the end of the document, and other things will be handled by someone for him."

"However, this cannot be solved at once; this needs a long process."

Luo Jiefu actually still didn't understand what Lansi was saying at this moment; he felt that Lansi sometimes behaved just like those well-known politicians.

Seemed to have said something, and seemed to have said nothing, but this also made him become more respectful and serious.

"We need to go to Xiang Yalan to work for a while, Imperial Chamber of Commerce, you, me, and you can recommend some people to come."

"Of course, it is not necessarily that you must go; you have a choice."

This matter involves the competition of Assembly Senators.

For Assembly Senators, they might just have made a one-dollar bet, betting on whose people can complete the task faster and better.

But for the things that these people are specifically responsible for, this might be a huge matter.

Lansi attaches great importance to it.

Senator Cleveland cannot be an Assembly Senator for a lifetime, but he, Lansi White, has the opportunity to be Lansi White for a lifetime!

Luo Jiefu realized at this moment the reason why Lansi asked about his family and children's situation; it was not intended to threaten him, but changed a way to tell him that this trip might be a bit dangerous.

He frowned, smoking hard, and Lansi didn't disturb him.

He only realized that the cigarette was finished when his fingers felt some pain.

He hurriedly extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and then asked, "What is my job?"

"Will there be a situation where I also need to hold a weapon and rush up?"

He said and laughed first, "I hope they don't feel that killing an old man is an honor, and I'm not very good at it!"

Lansi shook his head with a smile, "Why would you think so?"

"You just represent the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, selling cheap and practical federal products to Rapa, and incidentally providing some jobs for the local people."

"These are no different from what you do in the country, and even easier."

These things are not complex, but Lansi has his own things to do; he cannot always take care of the civilian trade part, and some propaganda work.

Need to have someone he trusts to help him; Luo Jiefu is the candidate he chose.

Hearing that he doesn't need to rush to the front and fight with others, Luo Jiefu's interest was obviously higher, "If it is like this, I can try!"

"That's settled."

"Later, I will tell you what to do..."

At night, after Lansi finished his work, he went to Luo Jiefu's residence with Luo Jiefu.

Luo Jiefu used to live in an ordinary community in the Imperial District; he bought a detached house, but not a villa, and the whole family lived together, a bit crowded.

But since he joined the Imperial Chamber of Commerce and worked with Lansi, he has now changed to a big villa, and the children also have their own villas, and they are right next to him.

All these changes came from Lansi; he sincerely, from the bottom of his heart, thanked this young man.

Soon the motorcade stopped outside Luo Jiefu's villa, and his wife and children were already welcoming at the door.

When Lansi got off the car, Luo Jiefu's family members immediately greeted him.

They don't have those neurotic moral cleanliness, and don't think that Lansi is evil and bad because he is a gang member.

Everyone was very enthusiastic, including Luo Jiefu's children.

"Alright, let's go in!"

"I hope I didn't disturb anyone!"

Lansi's motorcade still has a high degree of recognition in New Jincheng; some people left their villas and looked over here; they might just be pretending to pass by, or have other things, but in the final analysis, they want to see Lansi.

Luo Jiefu smiled and let his family members move aside, guarding Lansi into his villa; he could already imagine that tomorrow many people in the community would contact him and ask why Lansi came to his home, and it was at this special time of dinner.

Lansi, who was walking toward the courtyard, could see that Luo Jiefu had indeed earned a lot of money; such a villa must be worth at least more than 20,000 dollars.

Of course, now it might only be worth 15,000 dollars, because of the shelling of New Jincheng, some local people moved away overnight.

This also caused the housing prices in New Jincheng to plummet, but not including the Bay Area.

The housing prices in the Bay Area are still so firm; for the rich, they won't sell their houses; they don't lack this money.

What really dropped in price is the Prisia District where the middle class lives; many middle-class people moved to places farther from the coast, or even moved to Xigu City or just moved away.

However, not all real estate prices are plummeting; because Xilin District is far from the coastline, the housing prices in Xilin District have obviously increased.

In short, a villa that is worth at least 13,000 or 14,000 is still a lifetime for many, many people.

Luo Jiefu's wife prepared a very rich dinner, and his children were also very interesting; the atmosphere at the dining table was very harmonious.

However, Luo Jiefu didn't talk about the fact that he was going on a long trip in a while at the dining table; he felt that this might make Lansi feel that he was putting pressure on Lansi.

So they didn't talk about anything at dinner,

After Lansi left, he talked about this matter with his family.

"Is it dangerous?", his wife was very worried.

Xiang Yalan only has two impressions in the minds of Federation people—a man's paradise, and full of danger!

Xiang Yalan's sex is a very cheap social resource; in the Federation, if you want to sleep with a girl, you at least have to have some aspect that attracts her, including having money.

You can be very humorous, can be very strong, can be very rich, can have a good father, can also be very big.

In short, you need to have a strength that can attract people.

But in Xiang Yalan, as long as you are a Federation person, you possess countless sexual resources; those girls who are as beautiful as models will crawl in front of you, of course, with their butts facing you.

They want to leave Xiang Yalan; when you buy a boat ticket back, help them buy one too.

And danger... is because gangs are rampant in various countries in Xiang Yalan, there are warlords, or some countries constantly have coups.

People who haven't been to Xiang Yalan have a feeling of fear filled with that place.

Luo Jiefu smiled and shook his head, "Lansi's people will protect me, and Lansi will also go with me."

"Although we both feel that place is very dangerous, do you think he will go to such a dangerous place?"

"Don't worry too much about my safety; I'm just thinking...", he said and looked at his children, "Perhaps this is an opportunity."

"For one of you, it is like this."

Luo Jiefu is very old, and his children are not young, all married, and also have their own children.

He is not sure whether his relationship with Lansi can be inherited by his children; he has been thinking about these problems recently.

A friend of his died, naturally died of old age; of course, it was still very painful when he died, not peaceful at all.

Attending a friend's funeral gave him some new feelings; their generation is dying!

One day, he will also die; although he avoids this problem many times, avoiding this problem is useless.

He has to consider for his children; whether Lansi's relationship with him will extend to his children.

Losing Lansi's support, it is difficult for them to find a new way out in New Jincheng, so at this moment, he hopes that one child can stand up and go to Xiang Yalan with him, to work for Lansi.

The two boys remained silent, and the only daughter didn't speak either; they didn't want to go.

Luo Jiefu was a bit disappointed, "You can think about it carefully, before I leave here."

"What others give you is always others'; when he doesn't give it to you, you get nothing."

"Only what is yours is truly completely yours; no matter what others decide, it cannot change the fact that you possess it."

The three children nodded; as for whether they can listen, he cannot make a decision for them.

On Monday of the second week of July, the Ministry of Defense appointed a new Navy General as the commander of the New Jincheng Naval Base, and General Miles was transferred away, but his new position was not mentioned.

Lansi, who saw the news, guessed that he might have reached some agreement with the Assembly.

Changing a Navy commander makes no difference to New Jincheng.
