Chapter 141: Naval Troubles
Less than half of the hour required by Fang Xing had passed.
Everyone was ready, with the written materials in hand. Different from the lazy atmosphere in the previous conference room, everyone was sitting in a row on the side, waiting for Fang Xing's summons.
Fang Xing accepted the documents handed by the Navy in order, and at the same time instantly memorized the names of the people written on each document and the corresponding person.
After reading it, according to the current situation, I made a rearrangement and sent the task down.
Fang Xing pointed to a person and nodded, "You are responsible for the supervision of iron ore mining on Sanfarud Island, and you are responsible for patrolling the surrounding waters, you ....."
Because the arrangement was based on the previous experience of the navy and the areas in which they were good at, no one objected, but showed a look of approval, and the sense of identification with the commander of the other party line also deepened.
When it was Yuraia's turn, Fang Xing jumped over.
Yuraia couldn't help but ask, "I don't know what my mission is?" β
"Your task will be relieved, I think you are old, no matter how you say, I have to be considerate of you, it's not good to be too tired."
Everyone can hear that this sentence is a lie, although Yuraiya looks a little older, but in fact he is not yet fifty years old, and he is an experienced veteran for the navy, and he will not be inferior to others in any work, not to mention that Major Livai is older than Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya, and he understands the old man's words, how did he arrange a task for him.
But after the Barlow incident, no one dares to come forward now.
"No, no, my body is still strong, and as I said before, my crippled body still contributes to justice." Yuraiya Road. At this time, he can't really deal with documents in the office, so that he will slowly be forgotten in the army, and it is equivalent to losing to the new Colonel Fang Xing, and his subordinates who were originally interested in him will also change their minds.
Fang Xing pondered for a moment and asked, "I remember that you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, and you are also very familiar with the internal environment of the island. β
"Yes, I have been in the navy here for more than 20 years, so I naturally know the surrounding terrain and environment, as well as the interior of the island, and I think the work of being responsible for the surrounding security can be entrusted to me."
Fang Xing shook his head, "I have a more important task for you. β
A more important task? Yuraiya looked confused, is there any task more important than the security of the surrounding area? It probably doesn't exist.
Soon Fang Xing revealed the answer.
"Since you are familiar with the terrain, then I will leave my diet to you. It's up to you to help me buy the food in the neighborhood, and don't leave behind the water meat in the water capital and the lobster risotto in San Bobla. As for Bailey, let's get out of the base, if you want to come to a naval base, you can't even afford to pay for the colonel's meal. β
Everyone present was stunned.
Although he already knew that the new Colonel Fang Xing was an arrogant and unreasonable person, he didn't expect to let Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya do that kind of errand thing, and he also openly said that he embezzled the funds of the base.
Yuraia's face was also slightly red with shame, but he still complied, "Since it is the colonel's order, then I will do it." β
This reaction was beyond everyone's expectations, including Fang Xing, of course. He didn't expect Yuraiya to have the courage to run errands, even if he refused at this moment, no one would say anything, after all, it was just his unreasonable request.
After the task was arranged, everyone in the conference room dispersed, each busy with their new work.
Two weeks went by in a flash.
In one of the offices, a navy walked in and reported: "Colonel Fang Xing, this is the transaction information collected from the surrounding area. β
"Okay, just put it at my desk." Fang Xing replied while looking down through the documents.
"Yes!" The Navy put the materials on the table, saluted respectfully, and then withdrew.
In two weeks, Fang Xing's sharp and effective methods of handling things made everyone slowly recognize him, rather than out of fear. Especially those admirals and colonels who rearranged their work tasks, after discovering that the efficiency of the tasks had improved, they understood the reason for Fang Xing's assignment, and the significance of such an arrangement also made them even more respectful of this little colonel.
Fang Xing, who was dealing with the documents at hand, sighed, things were far more messy than he thought. For data files, although he can see the results at a glance, the difficulty is not this kind of thing, but about other things.
The navy is not only responsible for protecting law and order, but also for disputes on the island, commodity bargaining, business gatherings, taxes, and other issues, which is like acting as a nanny.
He threw aside the quick-processed documents, then took the materials from the table and looked at them.
Sure enough, it is still that problem - the price is not right, compared with Tom's previous price, even if there is a change, it will not have such a big change, and the expected price is about 30% more. This kind of price change can only occur when there is a shortage of goods, and from the information in hand, it can be seen that there is no shortage of wood and iron ore, but there is a surplus.
Then there is only one possibility!
Merchants banded together to raise prices.
Fang Xing couldn't help frowning, thinking about countermeasures. Do you want to use violent means to get businessmen to comply? But even if violence is used, as long as these merchants are not taught a lesson, such a high profit is enough to make them repeat the mistake of the past and raise prices again.
A navy was summoned from outside, and he ordered: "Call Major Livai." β
After a while, Levi walked in, saluted respectfully, and asked, "Is there anything Colonel Fang Xing looking for me?" β
"I'm going out to investigate some information, and you'll be watching this base for the time being."
Livai was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little glad that Fang Guild trusted him so much, but he still replied: "This is not in accordance with the rules, normally it is in charge of the high-ranking Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya. β
"He? I don't worry, things are already busy enough, and he won't be even busier if he comes again. β
Livai couldn't understand, "Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya, he has always been on the neutral side, he will not take sides with anyone, he will not help anyone, he has always enforced the law impartially, and I believe he can do it well." β
Although Fang Xing asked Lieutenant Colonel Yuraiya to run errands during these days, with Yuraiya's character, he would definitely not be able to deal with a child.
He is an upright person, and he is also a person who is easy to deceiveβFang Xing made an evaluation of Livai, and he did not hate this kind of person.
He reminded Levi that "sometimes what you see on the surface is not necessarily true." β
"What you see on the surface is not necessarily true?" Levi looked down and muttered, repeatedly trying to figure out the meaning of Fang's jargon.
Fang Xing didn't wait for him to come up with the result, picked up the wooden blade that was placed beside him, and jumped out of the window without a trace.
