Chapter 211: The Dust Has Settled
No one thought that this gang gathering initiated by the Jewish gang, uniting the three major forces in the southeast city, aimed at judging and sanctioning the recent actions of the patrol team headed by Zhang Heng, was obviously not good, but in the end it was just gently put down.
The people who waited to see the patrol's joke were dumbfounded.
I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Zhang Heng poured into Lockyd and others on the second floor, and in the end, the three major forces are equivalent to fully acknowledging the scope of influence that the patrol team has so far, including the soap gang and the anti-patrol alliance, and the three major forces led by the Jewish gang also acquiesced to their existence, which made Soap and others breathe a sigh of relief.
In addition, the three major forces did not prevent the patrol from continuing to expand in the southeast urban area, but the upper limit of the number of patrols was agreed, one hundred and twenty people, this number also made many people gasp, although this is only the number of medium-sized gangs, but considering the particularity of the patrol, expanding to one hundred and forty people can definitely become a nightmare for all gangs except the three major forces.
Fortunately, after Lockyd, he still took care of the emotions of the vast majority of small and medium-sized gangs, and reached a series of agreements with Zhang Heng, strictly restricting the rights of the patrol, and the matter of finding an excuse to break up a force like before should not happen again, and then the patrol team will return to their own work to maintain law and order in the neighborhood.
Of course, considering the special situation in the southeast urban area, almost every gang is engaged in criminal undertakings, and it is impossible for the patrol team to catch them all, so it is accurate to say that the patrol team deals with some sudden or relatively vicious criminal incidents, and the corresponding forces in the territory also need to provide help during the investigation.
In addition, from now on, all forces must ensure order on their respective territories, and once the chaos reaches a certain level and affects the lives of ordinary people around, the patrol team will also intervene to deal with it.
Of course, this article is for Zhang Heng to brush up on his political achievements, but no one knows if there is also Lockyd's meaning in this, as we all know, Lockyd was born at the bottom, no one knows better than him what the life of the people at the bottom of this block is like, and he has long wanted to do something for the people at the bottom living here, just sitting in his position, all aspects of things that need to be considered, some things are not good to do by yourself, so now there is no intention of borrowing the hands of the patrol team to do something.
…………
In just half an hour, Zhang Heng and Lockyd fought around a series of important issues, testing each other's bottom line, showing their cards and compromising with each other, in the eyes of ordinary people, such a scene will be somewhat boring, because there is no eye-catching battle, but for the people in it, this negotiation is far more exciting than the battle that takes place on the street.
Lockyd, the uncrowned king of the southeast city, has been firmly in control of the initiative on the field since he said the first word, he doesn't say much, but every word has meaning, and at the same time, he has been constantly putting pressure on Zhang Heng.
And the boss of the golden crown has known him for a long time, and he has a tacit understanding with him, their biggest advantage is that they know the southeast city very well, plus a hive to provide them with information, which also gives the two old men a considerable advantage in the negotiation.
But to Lockyd's surprise, the Oriental man across the table barely fell behind in this negotiation, both on the scene and in the actual content.
He was alone in an environment surrounded by enemies, but he was still able to keep his composure from beginning to end, and he spoke eloquently in the face of three of the most powerful forces in the southeastern city, and his sophistication made Lockyd even suspect that this was not the first time he had experienced such a situation, but given his age, it seemed a little ridiculous.
Lockyd remembered that when he was as old as Zhang Heng, he was just a little-known nobody of the Jewish Gang, but when he saw the boss of the Jewish Gang from a distance, his legs trembled, but the young man opposite him could calmly respond under the gaze of the three of them.
However, Zhang Heng on the other side was also not easy, although he had made a lot of preparations before, but he found that he still underestimated the legend of the southeast city.
Lockyd was much more difficult to deal with than he estimated, so Zhang Heng also realized that his previous plan to integrate all the forces in the southeast city might have to be changed, although if he wanted, he could still replace Lockyd, but it meant that he had to spend more energy and time in the southeast city.
This time was different from the situation at the time of Black Sail, when Zhang Heng was trying to survive whether he captured the Jackdaw or became the king of Nassau, but this time he focused more on skill learning, and Zhang Heng's main target was the library full of Assassin books at the Blade of Balance.
The southeast city is just a transition, even in order to cultivate his own power, Zhang Heng does not want to invest too much in this matter, so he is also willing to accept Lockyd's proposal and seek a situation of stable coexistence between multiple parties.
However, in the negotiation, Zhang Heng will not show his bottom line too early, on the contrary, he still maintains a considerable aggressiveness, especially when he realizes that the reason why Lockyl is willing to meet him is to find new political allies and solve the blood-sucking nobles attached to the southeast city for the Jewish Gang, Zhang Heng found that he had more chips than before.
So the negotiations between the two became more and more intense.
When Lockyd and Zhang Heng also reached a difficult agreement on the last important issue, the old man raised the wine glass on the side, "Although you are from outside, I have to say that you also have some inherent characteristics of people living here, be competitive and seize everything you can." ”
Zhang Heng also raised his glass when he heard this, "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?" ”
"It's both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how you think about it, and if I could be twenty years younger, I would probably want to have a good fight with you a few times, not just at the negotiating table." Lockyd drank his glass of wine and rose from his seat with the help of his granddaughter.
On the other side, the boss of the golden crown, the Sicabri man, also got up.
Lockyd put down his empty wine glass, "Next, let's leave the time to the young people, you can talk to my granddaughter about the specific details, and we old people won't bother you." ”
After Lockyd finished speaking, he walked towards the stairs with the boss of the golden crown and the waiter next to him, after all, he was old, although the negotiation just now was domineering, but in the end, he also showed a trace of old state, and after finalizing the main problem, he didn't have the energy to talk to Zhang Heng on the details.
