Seeing that Ye Na had already admitted that she had lost, Liu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Director Ye, do you remember our bet?" ”

"Remember, I said, if I lose, whatever you do." Ye Na said in a low voice.

Liu Yi said: "It's good if you remember, everyone else is there, so now I want you to fulfill your promise, you have no problem, right?" ”

Ye Na nodded wordlessly, and the hearts of the others were lifted, and they all pricked up their ears and waited to hear how Liu Yi would send Ye Na.

I heard Liu Yi say slowly: "I want you to work hard from today and stop playing with your temper, do you understand?" ”

Ye Na was stunned for a moment, raised her head and looked at Liu Yi, her face was full of doubts, as if she didn't understand Liu Yi's words.

The others also looked incredulous, and even wondered if they had heard it wrong, the final result of this fanfare duel was to let Ye Na work hard?

The officers exchanged glances with each other, and found that everyone was surprised and puzzled, as if no one expected that Liu Yi's treatment of Ye Na would be so slight, or not at all.

For a long time, everyone didn't recover from their surprise, and some people even thought that Liu Yi might have deliberately pretended to be generous, and then settle accounts after this matter.

However, when Ye Na heard Liu Yi's words, it was a different taste. Before the duel, she openly disagreed with Liu Yi several times, and even challenged Liu Yi in public, which triggered this duel.

If it were any other superior, I am afraid that Ye Na would have been transferred or squeezed out to a position without real power, as the chief of the fortress, this power is still there.

But Liu Yi didn't do this, but gave Ye Na a chance, and gave Ye Na a chance to challenge Liu Yi openly, and finally defeated Ye Na.

And Liu Yi's final disposition to Ye Na was only to make her work hard, and it was impossible for other chiefs to have such a broad mind.

Liu Yi's approach made Ye Na have to re-examine herself and whether what she had done before was really right.

Ye Na is not an unreasonable person, after this incident, she finally realized that she did something wrong, perhaps because of her prejudice against Liu Yi from the beginning, which led to her always choosing the wrong way.

Seeing Ye Na's eyes slowly softened from surprise and suspicion at the beginning, she finally nodded and said softly, "Yes, sir." I will definitely work hard in the future. ”

Liu Yi could feel from Ye Na's eyes that Ye Na's thinking was indeed changing, so he encouraged: "Do a good job, I believe you will definitely make a difference!" ”

"Yes, sir." Ye Na blushed and lowered her head in some shame.

Liu Yi turned to the others again and said, "Okay, that's all for this time, there are still many things that need to be worked by everyone, I promise you, as long as you work hard, you will never be treated badly in the future!" ”

The officers hesitated slightly, and then someone took the lead and said, "Sir, rest assured, we will do a good job and will never disappoint the sir's expectations!" ”

Someone took the lead in taking a stand, and the others naturally followed suit: "We understand, we will definitely work hard, sir, please rest assured!" ”

Liu Yi smiled and nodded, although Liu Yi also understood that not everyone was sincere, but as long as there was no problem with the attitude, after all, Liu Yi wanted a group of subordinates who could work well, not a group of minions.

In the next few days, everything returned to normal, and the working atmosphere of the whole fortress was much better, which was mainly related to Ye Na's change of attitude.

Officers no longer have to worry about standing in line, and soldiers have less time to talk about gossip because of the stability of management, and their work efficiency has naturally improved a lot.

Due to the request of many soldiers, Kamikanzaki is now specially hired as a technical advisor to the fortress, teaching the soldiers the techniques of mecha piloting.

This is a good thing for Liu Yi, he has been worried about how to arrange Shangguanqi's position, and he could have used his authority to give Shangguanqi a formal military identity.

However, Shangguan Qi's attitude was very clear that he was unwilling to hold any more military positions, so Liu Yi could only dispel this idea. Now hiring Shangguanqi as a technical advisor so that Shangguanqi can participate in the work of the fortress without having to be bound by the army is a good solution for both Liu Yi and Shangguanqi.

The work of the fortress gradually got on the right track, and Liu Yi focused on the previously planned blockade of the shipping routes and the strengthening of the inspection of passing ships.

At present, the blockade of the shipping routes has been almost completed, and many of the previously passable shipping routes have been laid with space mines, so that ships can only pass through the airspace near the White Rock Fortress from a few safe routes.

This news Liu Yi also announced the ships passing through the airspace, if any more ships travel from the blocked route, once something happens, the fortress will not be responsible.

At first, the ships that received the notice were very dissatisfied with this, and they cursed the fortress for being a superfluous move, deliberately opposing the merchant ships, not only for the purpose of which but also to exploit the merchant ships.

Liu Yi did not deny this, he did want to make more money from these merchant ships, but the main purpose was to strengthen inspections.

Soon after, Liu Yi ordered the ships of the fortress to be stationed in the necessary routes, intercept the passing ships, and require them to enter the fortress's air port for inspection, and if they did not obey, they would be regarded as resisting inspection, and the military could destroy them at any time.

At first, some ships did not think so, after all, they had said that they would be strictly inspected, but in the end, they did not turn a blind eye, they did not believe that the fortress would really be so strictly enforced.

Some of the ships tried to evade the inspection, and some tried to bribe the officers and soldiers to fool the way, but Liu Yi quickly told them the facts that this strict inspection was no joke.

In the first month, a total of seven ships were wrecked for evading inspections or forcibly intruding on their routes. Under such draconian measures, the ships were soon honest and consciously accepted inspections.

Ship owners who complained about the strict inspection also began to slowly change their attitude, because they found that although the strict inspection brought them some inconvenience and additional expenses, because of the strict inspection, many smuggling ships were arrested or simply stopped smuggling, which made the regular merchant ships suddenly have many fewer competitors.

In the past, these regular merchant ships often complained that they had suffered a loss by paying taxes honestly, and those smuggling ships did not pay taxes, and they also squeezed out regular merchant ships through low-price competition, making it difficult for regular merchant ships to do business.

Well, because the smuggling activities have been greatly discouraged by the strict inspection of the forts, and without the competition of smuggling ships, the business of these regular merchant ships is much easier, and in this respect, even if it takes more time and money, they are willing to maintain the current situation.

As more and more merchant ships entered and exited the airport, Liu Yi often stood by the window and watched the situation in the airport, sometimes for an hour or two.

On this day, Ye Na went to Liu Yi's office to report to work, and saw Liu Yi standing by the window looking down at the airport below, as if thinking about something.

"Chief Report, this is a summary of this month's reports, please take a look." Ye Na said to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi didn't turn around immediately, still looked at the airport and said, "Ye Na, now there are more and more ships entering and leaving the airport, this is our source of money, you as the administrative director should think about how to increase the income of the fortress." ”

Ye Na was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Haven't we made a lot of maintenance fees from these merchant ships at present?" What other ways to make money? ”

Liu Yi turned to look at Ye Na and said with a smile: "There are actually many opportunities to make money, it depends on whether you can think of it or not." ”

"However, I have privately heard these shipowners complain that we are very exploitative, and if we charge other fees, I am afraid it will cause them to backlash." Ye Na said honestly.

"I didn't say that I would collect money from them directly, but that I would make them spend it willingly, so that there would be no complaints, wouldn't there?" Liu Yi said with a smile.

"Spend money willingly?" Ye Na thought about it, and had no clue about it.

Liu Yi sighed secretly, this Ye Na is very serious and responsible, but unfortunately she has no business acumen, and she is not born to do business.

Ye Na saw that Liu Yi's face was a little disappointed, so she had to say apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really can't think of any good way." ”

Liu Yi waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, don't be sorry." I'm going to put it bluntly, I'm going to open a catering service in the airport, so that these crew members can spend money at the airport, so that they can make money? ”

"Open a restaurant?" Ye Na blinked, then shook her head and said, "This shouldn't work, the ships are all providing food, who would want to go to the restaurant at the airport to consume?" ”

Liu Yi said: "Of course I know this, but the food on the ship can't be too good, and the food we provide must be better than on the ship." What's more, our restaurant can be a place of exchange, and that's where people really get in. You know, the exchange of information is very important for these merchant ships, and if there is such a place, I think they will be willing to come. ”

Ye Na still didn't quite understand, and said, "Just to exchange information, will they really be willing to spend for this?" ”

"Of course, information is the most important thing for businessmen, and with such a place to exchange information, they will naturally come together."

Ye Na now has some understanding of Liu Yi's temper, once Liu Yi says it, it is basically equivalent to having made a decision, and it is impossible to stop it.

"Okay, let's try it then." Ye Na said helplessly.

Seeing that Ye Na had agreed, Liu Yi immediately smiled and said, "In addition to the restaurant, another bar will be opened." ”
