Chapter 186: Yin's Visit
Jomington left, took what he had seen and heard in Angry Waves City, and returned to the imperial capital to report to Shousuke. After a turmoil, calm gradually returned, but the aftermath continued to make people scrutinize the Meteorite Detective of the Cape Secret Bureau, thinking about where the city would go next.
Luke didn't think much about it, he just wanted to build a safe nest for himself, and all that happened was just dirt from digging a pit. Now the rabbit nest that Luke had in mind was finally formed, and the foundation was firmly knotted. The eldest princess is there...... After receiving this gift from himself, he should continue to acquiesce to the current relationship.
The next step is to live your own comfortable little life.
As for continuing to expand in Raging Waves?
Luke didn't have this idea, don't push the new nobles too hard, it's not good for anyone to jump over the wall in a hurry. Of course, the new nobles must approve of the current division of influence in Angry Waves City, as long as they don't get into trouble.
But don't get into trouble...... Is it possible?
In the days that followed, Luke sorted out his property.
The production of dark potions has begun to take shape, and in addition to the powerful berserk potions and boosters, Luke has also taken out several popular generic potion formulations and handed them over to the Potions Workshop for production.
With the protection of the Haijiao District Intelligence Bureau and the sales channels of the Yanyang smuggling syndicate, the production of pharmaceuticals has become a stable income for Luke.
Now, with his position in the City of Furious Waves rising and solidifying, Luke plans to unify all of the Black Potion production in the Cape District and merge the small private Black Potion production workshops. Make this industry bigger and stronger, and create your own international brand of black magic.
Another one that Luke is concerned about is the Burning Sun Night School.
He knew that he was an upstart for the upper-class system of Angry Waves City. The new aristocrats fear and obey themselves, but they may not accept them. If we want to stabilize the current basic market, we still have to follow the ancestral mass line.
In half a year, Yanyang Night School has had three graduates. Although the trainees did not learn the secret intelligence bureau murder technique they expected, they all learned a craft. Councilor Ibur is responsible for arranging jobs for the graduates of the Burning Sun Night School, and most of the gangsters enjoy the stable life that Detective Meteor gives them.
The employment rate has increased, and the law and order in Haijiao District have been significantly improved.
Luke found the sweetness and established a full-time technical school on the basis of the evening school, and built a number of branches to increase the enrollment scale. At the same time, Luke also uses the good relationships he has built with businessmen to ensure that students have jobs after graduation.
The prestige of Detective Meteorite in the Cape District, which was maintained by violence and money from the beginning, is gradually gaining traction in the hearts of the people.
And what will really make the Cape District start to recover is the renovation project of Haijiao Port.
Luke received a large loan from the Imperial Bank for this project. When the money was in place, the Angled Street Robotics Family, which had been prepared for a long time, went to the port area, and then the ordered equipment and materials were delivered by sea and land one after another.
The port area was turned into a large construction site.
Luke took advantage of the opportunity to overhaul the infrastructure of Cape and start construction of a heavy machinery factory.
The comprehensive large-scale project has greatly absorbed the surplus labor force in Haijiao District, and everyone is full of hope for the future.
Luke has also become the busiest person in Cape District.
With the opening of the major infrastructure, he had to review a large number of documents every day, while also learning ancient languages from Laconia and Banat. Sometimes he wanted to break himself in half......
And now I am two halves.
At the Oulu Academy, Clear Sky is both studying and teaching, and is busy conducting various occult experiments and doing in-depth research on ancient languages and history.
It's not easy to break it into two people.
One day, Karina entered the Inspector's office: "Inspector, the World Bank's voice director has come to visit. ”
Sound......
Luke, buried in a pile of papers, looked up, and then remembered the shimmering man.
What did she come to do?
Did they find out that the 20,000 gold coupons were mine?
See you first.
"Please let her in."
After a while, Tone walked into the office led by Karina.
At this time, Yin was wearing a gray women's trench coat and dark red high-waisted leather boots. Her blonde hair was curled into a bun, and she wore a decorative gauze lady's hat pinned to her head.
White lace gloves with a lady's bag hanging from the crook of her arm.
If you don't know her identity, you really think she is a city socialite.
Luke saw that Yin's outfit didn't look like he was looking for an egg, so he kindly invited her to sit down: "I didn't expect the Yin's Council to come to me, it's a mess here, please forgive me......"
After Yin sat down, Karina brought her a cup of coffee.
"Thank you!" Yin politely thanked Karina, and then said, "I have something I want to talk to the detective about alone." ”
Karina looked at Luke, and when she saw him nodding, she reluctantly left and closed the door.
"It seems that the music director has come to me for an important matter."
Yin sorted out his thoughts a little and said, "First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the inspector, if it weren't for your reminder, Pan and I would have done something we regret in investing in the hydrogen airship project."
I didn't expect there to be such a big hidden danger in the hydrogen airship project.
Now that you've eliminated the hidden dangers, the negotiation between Pan and the City Alchemist Guild is much easier. The head office is also evaluating the project, and if it goes well, the World Bank's share of the project will be much higher than we estimated......"
Yin took out a check from his bag, put it on the table and pushed it to Luke, and said, "This is the heart of the World Bank, thank you for your help and guidance in it." ”
Luke took the check and smiled with satisfaction as he looked at the string of zeros. He put the check in his inner pocket and said to Yin: "I am very satisfied with the sincerity of the World Bank, and if there is any good business in the future, I will definitely look for you." ”
"Looking forward to working with you again. Just ......" tone asked suspiciously, "Allow me to ask a personal question." Why did you transfer your interest in the hydrogen airship project to the World Bank because you are not optimistic about the future use of hydrogen airship? ”
Luke, who got the money, said bluntly: "I'm a secret agent, and my habit keeps me from handing over my future to uncertain factors. The steam airship has its advantages, and the hydrogen airship will take a long time to get the public to accept it after the Changxiang-class combustion accident.
At this time, there may not be a technological breakthrough in the steam airship.
The World Bank has the time and resources to polish the hydrogen airship, and I don't want to let this uncertainty become my baggage. ”
Luke's answer was very honest.
The recipe for destroying the hydrogen stabilizer in his hand was developed after the hydrogen airship was launched in the game. Several hydrogen airship explosions caused the reputation of this new aircraft to plummet, and it faded on the stage of history before it even rose.
Then there is the technological breakthrough of the steam airship, and there is no living space for the hydrogen airship.
So it's better to exchange your share for money and wish the World Bank good luck.
Yin didn't expect Luke to answer like this. For this meeting, she has investigated and learned about the detective from multiple channels.
He's a conspirator who plays with everyone in the palm of his hand. He framed and framed former Congressman Frigil and forced him into a madman; He was behind two of the city's largest demonstrations, the most recent of which nearly sparked a citywide riot.
His mouth is full of lies, and he thinks about harming people all the time.
He is an Imperial agent living in a dark and damp gutter, doing the dirtiest things.
This is what the upper class of Angry Waves City has to say about the Meteorite Detective, and the Meteorite is a nightmare in their hearts that they will wake up from a dream at night.
Yin thought that Detective Meteorite would give himself a very high-sounding reason, but he didn't expect this answer to be so simple.
And just don't want to let an uncertain factor drag you down, what kind of mind is it to give up such a project with a big future? You must know that once the hydrogen airship is commercialized, the benefits that can be obtained are not many times higher than that check.
Aren't all those who invest in hydrogen airships think so?
When the World Bank renegotiated with the Urban Alchemists Association about investing in the hydrogen airship project, many people who took the investment money back regretted it. They're trying to find a way to put their money back in...... It's ridiculous!
Yin asked Luke, "Is that just the reason?" ”
Luke laughed and said, "What else could be the reason?" You come to Cape District and you should see what's going on here along the way. New ports, new roads, new factories, new urban areas......
I invest this money anywhere in the Cape District and it will pay off 100%, why invest in an uncertain future. I am a pragmatic person, not a gambler. ”
When Yin entered the Cape District, he was first surprised at how there could be such a huge slum in the City of Angry Waves. If you look closely, you can see that the slums here are very different from those in other places.
The development of a city inevitably creates a ghetto where the atmosphere is one of despair. No one will pay attention here, resources will not flow in. Anyone with a little ability will find a way to leave, which accelerates its degeneration.
But in the Cape district, Yin can feel hope in the midst of poverty.
Most of the people here have a zest for life on their faces, as if a fire is being lit here.
Tone knows why.
On the way, the one she heard most talked about was the Meteorite Detective. The evaluation of the meteorite detective by this person is very different from the evaluation of the meteorite detective by the upper class people in the city.
He was wise and courageous. He freed the coolies of the docks from the exploitation of the Cape District Sheriff's Office; He runs schools to help the unemployed find stable jobs; He demanded that the factory owners improve the treatment of workers; He fought human trafficking and freed slave laborers.
He led the civilians of Haijiao District to repel the invasion of the City Sheriff's Office; He made the Cape District shout, and let the old men of the rich district hear the voices here.
The people of Cape believe that Detective Meteorite can take them to a good life and make Cape District prosperous again.
He said it and did it.
Cape Harbor is being renovated, and the city is being renovated. As long as you want to make money, everyone can find a job here and get a good salary.
It's a little confusing to know which one is the real meteorite.
"Detective Meteor, you're a very special person. I also see that Haijiao is a good place to invest, and maybe I can convince the World Bank to join in the redevelopment of Haijiao. ”
Luke's words made Luke very interested.
The renovation project of a cape port is not enough to stimulate the economy of the huge cape area. It takes a very, very lot of money to make this boiler burn and burst into a strong force.
Luke began to think that by first improving the infrastructure of Haijiao Port and the urban area, and then stabilizing the security of the urban area, he could create a good investment environment. In the future, you can slowly persuade businessmen to invest in building factories, and you can bring Haijiao District onto the road of a virtuous circle.
Now, if the World Bank can be persuaded to invest, it will be a mountain of gold to fall, and it will be difficult to prosper.
"It would be great if the World Bank was willing to invest in the Cape District. I can persuade the city council and the council to get preferential policies for the World Bank, and I will also give you the greatest assistance here in Haijiao District, and people and land are not a problem. ”
And Yin showed a meaningful smile: "But as far as I know, Haijiao District is now facing very big political troubles, which involves the royal struggle of the Golden Shield Empire.
In line with the World Bank's investment principles, avoid investing in politically controversial projects......"
Luke didn't expect that the strategy he used against the World Bank would be counterattacked by the other side so quickly.
The battle in the City of Furious Waves was only a sign of calm, and Luke knew very well that it would be impossible for the new nobles to accept that their interests had been gnawed away in such a large chunk.
Although both Luke and the eldest princess knew what was going on in the Cape District, to outsiders, this was the bridgehead for the Empire to reclaim Fury Waves.
The Empire won't stop there!
It is obviously impossible for the World Bank to invest in this political vortex, and the political risk is greater than the investment in hydrogen airship in the first place.
"But you just said you could convince the World Bank to invest in the Cape District......"
Luke asked Xiang Yin.
He thought to himself: Do you know that the World Bank will not invest in the Cape District, and still seduce me like this? Now that my interest has been aroused, I can't just tease it casually and forget it!
Yin said with a smile: "The Haijiao District is indeed a big political trouble, but because it is big, there is still a lot of room for maneuvering in it. There are so many politically controversial places in the world that if they were all based on principles, the World Bank would not have to invest in anything.
These days, my brother is very busy, and I don't know anyone in Angry Waves City, and it's boring to be alone in the hotel. Why don't the inspectors take me on a tour of the Cape area, and we can talk about projects that are not sensitive and interesting to the World Bank. ”
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to prepare it right away." Luke thinks what Yin said makes sense, and goes out to look at what he can do to see what he can do with the best of both worlds.
Who wants to sound but says, "Just the two of us." ”
Luke immediately realized that the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
At this time, for the sake of the Cape District, Inspector Ben had to sacrifice his hue.
