Chapter 140: Reactions from all sides
Equally apprehensive was Speaker Jada Brooke, who knew less than Mayor Dursley, and who had no idea how the whole thing happened or ended.
But this did not prevent Mr. Speaker Brooke from being in awe of the Admiral from the bottom of his heart.
After all, fear comes from the unknown!
At this time, one of the idle chess officers he had placed in the police station, Chief Yusofa Bull, approached Speaker Brooke.
"Uncle, I was just notified to go to the naval base to meet with Colonel Fang to report to work, I.... What should I do?"
Looking at his nephew who was trembling slightly, Speaker Brooke was also a little worried, but he couldn't ignore it.
I can only bite the bullet and say:
"Do you know what's going on? Why was the Yakub family wiped out overnight?"
Director Yusofa Boer thought to himself, if I knew why I came here and asked you what you were doing! But in the face of his uncle's questioning, he could only shake his head and say:
"I don't know, after I received the news this morning, I wanted to ask someone from the police station about the situation. However, it turned out that all the police officers who were close to the Yakub family were arrested by the military.
I don't have any way to find out the news."
I heard that all the people who were close to the Yakubu family had been arrested, what accurate information this must be!
Thinking that there was a pair of invisible eyes by his side that had been silently watching his situation, Speaker Brooke shuddered.
"And who informed you? How will I inform you?"
"It's a call to my tavern, and I haven't seen anyone!"
Speaker Brooke is still a little older, and he has to be more composed.
"Then why are you still running to me, why don't you report to Colonel Fang quickly."
Poor Director Yusofa Bull didn't even have the courage to compete with Bill Yakubu, how could he have the courage to face this ruthless man who destroyed the Yakubu family silently?
"But, I ...... I, I don't dare."
Looking at the unpromising nephew in front of him, Speaker Brooke couldn't wait to kick it.
After thinking about it, I haven't visited this military management chief alone, which is really very rude.
Looking at the current situation, the relationship between himself and the nephew in front of him must be clear to others, so there is no need to hide it, it is better to face it directly and generously.
With a sigh, he said:
"Alas! We're going to have to face it sooner or later, so let's go over it together!"
Hearing that his uncle was willing to accompany him, Director Yusofa Boer let out a long breath.
Unlike the frightened hearts of large families such as the mayor and the speaker, the ordinary citizens of Natal should not be too excited.
The leaders of the Roy Gang were basically wiped out, and all the thugs were arrested by the army soldiers early in the morning, and only a small number escaped by hiding in the corner.
However, the thugs who hid have long lost their former spirit, and now what they are most afraid of is to go out into the street and be recognized, and tell the army that they have been arrested by the army.
There were no police on the streets for a while, but the law and order situation was much better than before the police, and the streets were patrolled by soldiers in jeeps.
This can be regarded as returning to the familiar state of military control.
Everyone was talking about what was going on with the Yakubu family.
"Did you hear that? There was a shootout at the Yakubu family's seaside villa last night, and all the Roy gang leaders and black police were wiped out."
"But that's not all! All the members of the Yakubu family have been wiped out."
"Why is that?"
"Don't you understand? Our good days are coming, and the military management committee has found out about the Yakubu family's misdeeds and directly eradicated them."
"Then there won't be Roy's help, will you? Isn't it that we don't have to pay protection money?
Ahh
"It's hard to say, without the Roy Gang, there would be another gang."
"Even other gangs wouldn't have come out so early, so we're going to have to take it easy for a while."
"I heard that our girls, who disappear every once in a while, turned out to be kidnapped by the Roy gang and given to the old patriarch of the Yakubu family to play with."
"Yes! I've heard that this time I rescued a girl who was kidnapped a few days ago, but unfortunately, she has been ruined by those bastards with DP."
"What? So that's the case, these bastards are dying well, and we can finally live a few good days."
"Yes! In the future, these troops will be stationed in Natal, and we can complain to the army in the future."
"Is that so? I don't know if I'll be able to join the army! Look at them in jeeps, they're really majestic!"
Fang Lang had already predicted what reaction the market would have, and this was what he wanted to see, as long as the army could maintain order, he was not worried that Natal would be in chaos at all.
As soon as Chief Yusoffa Bull and Mr. Jada Brooke arrived at the gate of the naval base, they met Mayor Dursley, and they met at the gate of the base, and they were not surprised.
After a few polite words to each other, after hearing the order to agree to let them go, everyone simply walked in together.
Coming to the door of Fang Lang's office, after waiting for the guard at the door to report, the three of them rushed in.
Seeing the three people who walked in, Fang Lang, who had just finished talking to Major Mack of the United States, nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down on the sofa together, and shouted to the guards outside the door:
"Guard, make four cups of coffee."
There was an answer outside the door, Fang Lang got up and came to the sofa, a few people who were just about to sit down hurriedly got up, Fang Lang shook hands with them one by one, and then signaled to sit down again.
Everyone sat down again, and the sitting posture of the three of them was obviously a little cramped, and Fang Lang didn't break it in his eyes, but said lightly:
"Is there anything important about the three of you visiting together?"
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't want to speak first.
Finally, Mayor Dursley glared at the other two and said:
"Colonel Fang, I have already seen the matter of the land for the construction of the bank with Mr. Fang of the Fangyuan Group, and Mr. Fang is very satisfied.
Now it's about the price, and it may need to be discussed by the listing council before it can be decided."
Speaker Brooke, who was sitting next to him, watching his nose and nose and waiting for Mr. Mayor to finish talking, did not expect that the first thing had to do with him.
Holding back a calm expression, I almost broke the defense, what bank construction land, what parliamentary discussion, I don't know at all!
A cold sweat broke out, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in my heart, eager to slap the mayor next to him.
Fang Lang glanced at the somewhat pale face of Speaker Brooke next to him, and smiled:
"This is as it should be, Speaker Brooke, the Fangyuan Group has taken a fancy to the trading center building opposite the city hall and the council, and is preparing to build a bank after it is demolished.
When the time comes, we will ask Speaker Brooke to take it to the council as soon as possible to discuss it, and we will pay as much as the price should be, and we will not let the Natal city government suffer."
Regarding the matter of Mayor Dursley's stumbling block to Speaker Brooke, Fang Lang gently revealed.
After listening to Fang Lang's words, Speaker Brooke finally understood what was going on, and couldn't help but secretly curse Mayor Dursley for being a bastard, and he was almost plotted by him.
"Ah! That's a good thing! To have a large enterprise like Fangyuan Group invest in Natal, our parliament warmly welcomes it.
As soon as we receive documents from the city government, we will discuss them as soon as possible, and we will not let investors wait."
Secretly, Brooke also told Fang Lang that our council has not received the documents from the city government, so he doesn't know about this matter yet.
Of course, Fang Lang understood what was going on, and smiled:
"Very well, our council
It's about having this kind of work efficiency, don't quarrel over big things, and can't get a result, and when everyone argues for the result, the opportunity has been lost!"
This is also a slap in the face of Speaker Brooke.
Hearing these words in the ears of Speaker Brooke, it naturally lifted his heart at once.
Nodding again and again:
"Yes, Colonel Fang, you're right. When I go back, I will convey your views to all the councillors, and we will follow your instructions and make the most efficient council possible."
Actually, Speaker Brooke didn't have anything specific to come over today, saying that he was accompanying Director Yusofa Bull over, but in fact, he also wanted to test Fang Lang's views on the council.
Now it's basically accomplished.
Fang Lang nodded when he heard Speaker Brooke's answer, and then said to Mayor Dursley:
"Mr. Mayor, since you and Mr. Speaker Brooke are here today, I will also explain to you my thoughts on Natal.
This can be regarded as my management idea as the head of the military management department. I hope you will understand and follow through."
The two of them hurriedly sat up straight and nodded yes.
"I came to Natal for a few days and got to know the situation in Natal, and the economy is still basically based on agricultural trade. This is not up to date.
Therefore, I introduced Fangyuan Group to invest and build a factory in Natal, hoping to guide the agricultural economy to industrialization as soon as possible.
We should rely on our advantages in agricultural product resources to develop the deep processing industry of agricultural products and promote the development of industrialization.
In addition to the sugar mill that will be a joint venture with Mayor Dursley, Fangyuan Group is also preparing to build a large-scale textile mill in Natal.
In addition to the textile mill, I also plan to further print and dye the woven cloth and introduce it to garment manufacturing companies.
In Natal, cotton is directly produced into cotton yarn, cotton cloth and then clothing, forming an industrial chain.
If Mr. Brooke is willing, I would like Speaker Brooke to be actively involved in the process of industrialization.
The simple slaughtering and processing of livestock will be further deepened, such as processing cowhides and making them into leather shoes, leather bags, belts, etc.
There is also slaughtered beef, which we can subdivide into different grades and sell it to Europe and the United States.
You don't have to worry about the sales of our products, I will bring the global trade of the United States to Natal to source our goods.
Europe and the United States are now in a time when everything is in ruins, and if we do not take advantage of this time to accelerate the completion of industrialization, it will be even more difficult in the future.
If I'm not mistaken, sugar cane can be made into alcohol in addition to sugar, and these are industries that we can develop, right?"
Hearing Fang Lang's words, both of them looked excited, of course everyone knew that opening a factory to make money.
However, either there is no money, or there is no technology, or there is a fear that there will be no sales.
Now that Fang Lang has untied all his scruples for them, what else is there to say!
