Chapter 192 Anti-Monopoly Law
Rebels involved? Because of the incident in the airborne camp a few days ago, Zhao Li did not have a good impression of the rebels as a whole. Although they knew that this was a war, and that they had killed several times more rebels in the airborne battalion than themselves, they just couldn't let themselves treat the rebels with any normal heart, let alone what Kang Hongyuan said, and it would also involve the rebels.
"Doing business with the rebels?" Zhao Li's tone was a little wrong. The meaning of Kang Hongyuan's words seems to have such a layer of expression.
"If possible." Kang Hongyuan nodded and replied.
"No way!" There was nothing else to say, Zhao Li directly gave Kang Hongyuan a categorical veto: "We will never do business with the enemy!" ”
"And what if one day it's not an enemy?" Kang Hongyuan suddenly asked inexplicably.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Li was very dissatisfied with Kang Hongyuan's always talking like this, and asked loudly.
"Historically, all the countries and nations that fought to the death did not seem to have persevered to the end." Kang Hongyuan looked at Zhao Li and said with a smile: "War has never been the theme of human beings, otherwise there would be no federal political axe. ”
This is true, if the real hostile war could have continued, then there would not have been such a unified federal axe.
"The war will end, you have to believe in that." Kang Hongyuan probably understood Zhao Li's mood, but he didn't say anything about it, just patted Zhao Li's shoulder and walked out alone.
All of Kang Hongyuan's plans were based on the end of the war. However, the prospects he planned seemed to have aroused the interest of those underground forces. Many people are starting to calculate how much benefit they can gain from the development of the next edge planet, and they are prepared for it in advance.
Casinos, without luxury hotels are absolutely not attractive, then, building in advance has become a must-do homework. Don't look at the three areas under the current management of the Provisional United Political Axe, except for drug dealers, there are some smugglers, but their economic awareness is by no means worse than that of any legitimate industrialist.
If you are ready first, you can harvest first, this is a truth that cannot be broken. On the edge planet, there is no more stable investment environment than Golden Five Star City, even if there is a war, whether it is the political axe army or the rebel army, no one will carry out large-scale destruction of the area where civilians live, this is the underlying rule. The exception, of course, is that of people who are called madmen.
In less than three days, three applications for the construction of luxury super five-star hotels were put on the desk of the Golden Five-Star Municipal Axe. Kang Hongyuan is already the speaker of the United Political Axe, and he is no longer the leader of Jinwuxing City. However, one of the fighters who was disabled while holding off the rebels was pushed to the forefront. He was disabled in order to defend Jin Wuxing, which itself has an innate political advantage, and he is still a supporter of Zhao Li, so the people have no objection at all, and they fully support it.
It is undeniable that even these guys, who are heinous in the eyes of the federal government, are still making this kind of investment step by step according to the rules. From land acquisition, relocation, design, construction and a series of work, all of which are carried out through the municipal axe, giving the municipal axe enough face.
It is estimated that these people have now recognized the situation, and since the rules have been formulated, they must be followed by everyone. If you take the lead in not following it, then no one will take this rule seriously. This will be a disaster for their future prospects and money.
Drug dealers have money, and smugglers are not bad for money, and the first few investments are all large. This kind of investment in luxury construction has directly brought huge employment opportunities and more business opportunities to Jinwuxing City. And, in line with this series of development plans, the municipal axe even began to borrow money from drug traffickers to build roads and other infrastructure. After all, the drug dealers here are also "legitimate businessmen", aren't they?
After Zhao Li occupied the two areas, he began to train new soldiers. In order to consolidate his control over Acala and Saipan, Zhao Li even used those who were armed underground as intelligence agents. Although it is inconvenient to use them to kill enemies, it is normal for them to pay attention to the surrounding wind and grass. These people also seem to be happy to help Zhao Li, at least, as long as Zhao Li is still around, their investment is very promising.
In normal business, in the environment of the edge planet, especially in wartime, no normal businessman would make such a large investment. However, these rich people on the edge planet are different, they are adventurous people themselves, and following Kang Hongyuan's idea is a huge gamble for them. This game does not require them to put all their net worth on the line, but once the bet is won, it is a huge return beyond their imagination, and almost no one refuses.
The news of the establishment of the temporary joint political axe here, along with Kang Hongyuan's prospect plan for the edge planet, quickly spread to other regions. These underground forces, almost all of them are inextricably linked. Hearing that there was such a good thing, those people in other areas that were still occupied by the rebels couldn't just let Zhao Li come over, and then quickly joined the United Political Axe. Needless to say, these people must be the most effective internal response when Zhao Li fights the rebels in the future.
Even the ordinary people in those places have the same thoughts. Once the free port is established, then their lives will be 10,000 times better than they are now. Needless to say, life in the future, just look at the citizens of Jinwuxing City now, which are much more nourishing than other areas. A rainforest mine, coupled with the investment of several ultra-luxury hotels, coupled with the construction of the political axe infrastructure project, Jin Wuxing can hardly find anyone who is unemployed. This alone is enough to make the eyes of those people in other regions extremely red.
The people's eagerness for Zhao Li to recover the marginal areas can almost be described as long-sighted. It seems that after Kang Hongyuan's series of ideas were made public, all kinds of information from other places flew in like raindrops, and Zhao Li had to find a few people with flexible brains who were specifically responsible for handling information.
"What the people want!" Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to be particularly busy recently, looking at all the busy things on the side of Rainforest Mining with his hands behind his back, standing beside Zhao Li and sighing.
"Don't you have to be busy?" Zhao Li looked at Kang Hongyuan very strangely, in the news reports about the leaders of the political axe that he had survived, which leader did not use the words "reason" to describe their busyness, why did Kang Hongyuan still have the leisure to come here?
"Professional things, leave them to professional subordinates." Kang Hongyuan lost no time in pointing out Zhao Li's leadership art: "What you have to do is just grasp the general direction and control the rhythm." It's like the order you gave to the 392 Airborne Battalion, it doesn't matter how they complete it, just complete the mission. ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Li hummed in a low voice and didn't say anything more. After a long while, he asked Kang Hongyuan: "You say, is there a possibility of peace between our political axe and the rebels?" ”
"Yes! Probably the last name has always been there. Kang Hongyuan affirmed without hesitation: "When the interests of both sides of the war are lost to the point that no one can afford to lose, then they will definitely compromise and turn to another sense of war, for example, in the ideological or economic field." Our political axe and the rebels are not a feud between you and me, even if they are feuds, there will be a day of reconciliation, not to mention that the rebels were originally split from the Federation, their people, their soldiers, are all in the same vein as the Federation. They had the same education and the same history as us, and by this time they were all exhausted. ”
"Exhausted?" Zhao Li repeated Kang Hongyuan's statement: "You mean, the war will end soon?" ”
"yes, it won't be long." Kang Hongyuan is full of confidence in this: "You may not have paid attention to the news of the Federation and the rebels recently, but the people's anti-war voices are getting louder, and the political axe and the military are also under a lot of pressure. Unless either the Federation or the rebels have the strength to wipe out the other in a short period of time, a compromise is certain. ”
"You don't seem to want the Axe Army to wipe out all the rebels?" Zhao Li listened to Kang Hongyuan's tone and asked rhetorically.
"Of course!" Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to hide his thoughts in front of Zhao Li: "Actually, what I hope more is that when I am on stage, the war will be completely quelled, which is the best result." ”
"......" Zhao Li was speechless about this, and he really didn't know what to say.
From the information gathered from various places, Zhao Li already has almost all the information about the rebels scattered all over the place. Basically, the rebels were in full swing this time and seemed to be well prepared at first. Secret supply routes allowed the rebels to bring in a lot of men and supplies through large transport ships. It's a pity that the supplies were blown up by Zhao Li by almost ten percent at one time, and now the rebels seem to be very sad.
The most troublesome thing is that because of the bombing of the military airfield, the rebels will not be able to use air power at all in a short time. Needless to say, the fight against the political axe army, even aid to the rebels themselves is not available. Even if air power could be used, there would not be enough ammunition to support it. The ammunition depot at the airport has been blown up by James.
Zhao Li's judgment is that the enemies in various regions will only have the strength of a war left at most, because the broken chain of logistics and supply will not be able to support large-scale operations at all. And on a planet where almost all opponents are opposed, the rebels do not have an advantage in numbers.
If Zhao Li had a well-trained team at hand, then Zhao Li would definitely start attacking the surrounding area immediately. It's a pity that Zhao Li can only think about it, and then slowly accumulate strength to encroach on the stability of one region after another.
Correspondence with General Lucas, Zhao Li was once again assured. Although the political axe army cannot guarantee that it will be able to provide assistance to Zhao Li for the time being, it can also guarantee that the rebels will not get any support. With this guarantee, Zhao Li can be sure that it is only a matter of time before he recovers the lost territory of the edge planet.
The rebels have dropped at least 40,000 troops on the entire edge planet, controlling more than two dozen reading areas. In each region, there are about 2,000 people, the size of a regiment. Now, it seems that the rebels have also found that the situation is not good for them, and have begun to consciously assemble. In some areas far from Zhao Li's control, only a basic force capable of controlling the situation remained, and several areas bordering the United Political Axe were relatively increased in garrison strength.
Everything, it seems, just takes time to work out. Zhao Li understands this, and the rebels also understand. However, the rebels seemed to be shocked by the results of two consecutive battles against Zhao Li, and they were not very familiar with jungle warfare, so they easily did not dare to use troops against Akara and Saipan, and the golden five stars were even more impregnable.
In this kind of situation, where the time and place are favorable, Zhao Li can know their information as long as the rebels move, but on the contrary, the rebels seem to have become blind and deaf, and the situation on Zhao Li's side is becoming more and more unclear.
"What are you doing this time?" Zhao Li was paying attention to military intelligence, but when he saw Kang Hongyuan seemingly wandering leisurely to the barracks, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you busy with those hotels and roads?" "Jin Wuxing has been building construction in almost the entire city recently, and Kang Hongyuan should be very busy.
"Those are the little things." Kang Hongyuan shook his head: "This time, I came here to help you solve a hidden danger first." ”
"Hidden dangers?" Zhao Li was stunned for a moment: "What hidden danger?" ”
"Let's talk about it when everyone is ready!" Kang Hongyuan didn't seem to want to say more: "I have already notified them to come over." ”
It was still a small group meeting, and this time it was more crowded, and no one was absent.
"What the hell is going on?" Zhao Li saw that the people had arrived, so he didn't explain much, and asked Kang Hongyuan directly.
"There is a big hidden danger in rainforest mining." Kang Hongyuan did not foreshadow, and went straight to the topic. Hearing Kang Hongyuan's words, everyone turned to Kang Hongyuan.
"Our product, energy additives, is now a one-of-a-kind product, which makes our sales unbeatable. However, here's the problem, too. Kang Hongyuan watched everyone pay attention to it, and pointed out the problem with special emphasis.
"What's the problem?" Yelin is more anxious, after all, rainforest mining is his and James' hard work, there are hidden dangers, how can he not be anxious.
"Antitrust Act!" Kang Hongyuan said the crux of the problem: "Now the rainforest mining is on the edge of the planet, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and those guys have a request for people, so it is naturally easy to say." But once our free trade port is established, they will definitely come up with this to make it difficult. ”
"We have the ability to read the law here, so don't we just recognize their anti-monopoly laws?" Nightfall doesn't care.
"They can do it in other ways." Kang Hongyuan shook his head: "After all, if our products are to be sold to the Federation, they can use this as an excuse to impose a high penalty tax rate, or directly confiscate and other means." Our products can't help but sell, right? ”
"What then?" Yelin was a little unwilling, but since Kang Hongyuan said this, there must be a solution.
"It's simple." Kang Hongyuan smiled: "Split!" ”
"We split Rainforest Mining into two industrial companies. You're one, James is the other, selling the same thing, different brands, what else can they say now. We do it in front of them so that they have nothing to say. ”
