Enforcer's Handbook

Early the next morning, Lu Xiang and Song Lan went to the place agreed with Qi He as promised.

Qihe and Ragus Foundation are both actionists without a doubt. After meeting in District 7, they have already started construction work in District 17. Before today, he had met Aurelia in private. Mayor Nuo talked about the foundation’s investment and construction issues in the next ten years.

The branch building of the Ragus Foundation can also be regarded as a landmark building in the downtown area.

Once upon a time, this skyscraper was considered a symbol of the company's extravagance and waste. The Ragus Foundation had no business dealings in the 17th District before. They just habitually established branches belonging to the foundation in every city. After the building was completed, the foundation did not arrange for staff to come. The building was always empty except for routine maintenance by security guards and cleaners.

And now, many years after the building was built, the first important meeting finally arrived.

Qi He waited in the conference room of the building early in the morning.

He welcomed the arrival of Lu Xiang and Song Lan with a smile. Next to him was a literary girl they had never seen before. She had long black hair and dull glasses. She was just over Qi He's waist. The most distinctive feature is the thick notebook she holds in her arms.

In 2166, this is definitely a rare sight.

At least notebooks have long been eliminated by the times. Electronic memos are much more efficient and accurate. Song Lan recently saw an electronic memo with built-in artificial intelligence on the Internet. It does not even require the user to record. , as long as the "meeting record" function is turned on before the meeting, the built-in artificial intelligence will automatically record the important content during the meeting.

Although the company's competitors always smear them online and say that artificial intelligence is a scam and that the AI ​​will record meetings and upload your company's secrets to their networks, Song Lan admitted that he is not convinced about this. This kind of high-tech electronic memo is exciting.

In addition, this little girl looks too young. Visually, she is in the same age group as Elmon and Anfiya. She is the type who can report directly to Newster School after the meeting. .

It's too early to start working at this age.

The literary girl seemed to be very introverted. She sat next to Qi He without saying a word throughout the whole process. She never opened her notebook and looked more like a decoration.

Only his eyes would glance at Song Lan from time to time, and then quickly look away when he received Song Lan's response.

After the simple greetings, Qi He also brought up business.

"Regarding the issue of Dream Creation, simply put, the Council would like you to stop investigating."

This is the number one issue the council wants him to address, taking precedence over investment in construction.

Lu Xiang asked instead, "What about you?"

"Based on the interests of the foundation, we naturally hope that you can stop the investigation."

Qihe did not lie on this issue. There are many companies of the same type as Meimeng Manufacturing, and they are not all conservative industries.

In the final analysis, the Ragus Foundation is a community of corporate interests, and for companies, wherever there is profit, they will appear, whether it is biopharmaceuticals or military production.

"Of course, I know this explanation cannot convince you."

If Lu Xiang really "understood the righteousness", this matter would not have alarmed the Council and became an important issue in the recent meeting. "In fact, during the last meeting, someone proposed to use the 17th district. Satellite weapons to strike.”

Lu Xiang was shocked by this sudden and heavy news, not only because it involved the use of satellite weapons, but she was also surprised that Qi He would actually tell them the internal secrets of the council.

It stands to reason that the contents of the Council's meetings should be absolutely confidential from the outside world.

"In the end, this issue was rejected with a 61% opposition rate, but the voting results also illustrate certain problems."

61% represents the figure of the reformists and centrists. It also shows that 39% of the members of the council agree to cleanse the "problem city" of District 17 through satellite weapons.

This means that for conservatives, this is no longer a personal grudge, but a contradiction of collective interests.

They believe that the existence of the void has truly threatened the core area of ​​the coalition government, and their attitude towards this is to use satellite weapons to eliminate all troubles for them.

This has always been the last resort for coalition governments to solve problems.

Whether it is a rebellion by the rebels or an infection prevalent in the "outside world", all troubles can always be wiped out by striking the area with satellite weapons.

"I'm not threatening you, but if this issue continues, in the next vote, the votes of the neutral vote and some of the reformists may swing to the other side."

Qi He was a little helpless.

As a representative of the Ragus Foundation, he must prioritize the collective interests of the company. Individual will is often insignificant in front of the collective.

In the past, when faced with this situation, companies usually took two approaches.

One is to give the other party enough benefits, and through the exchange of benefits, the two parties can become a community of interests on some issues. In the eyes of the company, no relationship is more stable than a community of interests.

And when this method loses its effect, they will also take some measures to make those very stubborn people completely disappear from this world.

But obviously, neither situation applies to Lu Xiang and District 17.

On the issue of the void, he has always been contrary to the mainstream views of the Council. His intuition told him that the hasty use of satellite weapons would not only fail to clear up the void troubles for them, but would also release some unexpected enemies.

His instincts were always spot on.

So, this time, he adopted the third negotiation method.

"If you insist, this is the material I have prepared for you in my own name."

Qi He handed an electronic memorandum to the other side.

The moment she received the electronic memo, Lu Xiang's expression immediately changed from confusion to shock. She originally thought that it was an exchange of benefits prepared by the company for them, or simply a warning and threat, but the content above was inconsistent with her guess and The company's tactics are irrelevant.

The relevant companies in the memo are clearly the direction of their future investigation.

In other words, Qihe not only did not threaten them, but also helped them complete the investigation and delivered the results to them?

Lu Xiang took a deep look at the other person. In fact, from the first time she saw Qi He, she felt that this person was a little unusual.

At least it was far from her stereotyped image of a company representative. Although he always claimed that he put the company's interests first, Lu Xiang always felt that Qi He's behavior had hidden secrets.

This is also intuition without any direct evidence.

"In this case, you should be able to understand, right?"

After Lu Xiang browsed it roughly, Qi He said, "What really worries the council is not the industry itself, but the various industries involved in this gas... the political and military actions inside and outside the coalition government, They will also be used in life medicine and psychic ability research."
