The Gaston Building is seventy-five stories high, but the exterior of the building is now mottled. There is a black hole on the seventy-third floor, which was obviously blown up by a bomb. The elevators and the like were broken earlier. On the square in front of the building, there is
A bunch of shacks, homeless people exude a bad smell, and gangsters with exposed tattoos openly sell white powder.
Several assault vehicles had just parked in front of the building, and dozens of fierce-looking strong men immediately surrounded them, all with their chests and abdomen exposed, and their bodies covered with various large-scale ferocious tattoos.
There were two more plainclothes police detectives in the assault vehicle that Lu Ming was sitting in. They were from the 8th Police Station where the Gaston Building was located, and they often dealt with the gangsters in the Gaston Building.
Among the two plainclothes police detectives, there was actually a Zhongzhou man, and everyone called him "Li".
There is a legend that his father was an extremely vicious warlord with strong martial arts skills in the Northern Territory. Because he was persecuted by the Han Kingdom, he took refuge in the United Kingdom, and a large number of immigrants happened to enter the Gede area. Therefore, the Li family also came with the immigration wave.
Settled in Gir City.
Lu Ming didn't know that there was such a Li warlord family. It seemed that the Li family was bragging about themselves, or spreading lies. It mainly came from the misunderstanding of the people in Sonya about the Northern Territory, and they thought that the big and small warlords who ruled there were all.
Evil horror family.
At this time, looking at the gangsters surrounding the assault vehicle, Li's companion Taylor's face changed color, but Li was very calm and was still telling Lu Ming about the situation of the five major gangs in the Gaston Building.
Each of these five major gangs occupies several floors. The higher the strength, the lower the floors they occupy.
The Sickle Party and the Nine-Nine Gang divided up the 20 floors from the first to the 20th floor, and the two gangs each occupied half of the 20 floors.
They sell drugs, sell organs, force prostitution, charge rent from the poor, and set up sweatshops where they force the poor to work twelve or thirteen hours a day to produce small commodities that require complicated manual labor, such as dolls, toys, and cheap clothes and shoes.
hats etc.
At this time, Davitt had already gotten out of another assault vehicle. He took out his ID and shook it at the first few gangsters. He raised his voice and said, "Sickle gang members, go tell your boss White to get over here now, otherwise,
He's in big trouble!"
Although the First Control has lost power, it still doesn't care about slum gangs like the Sickle Party.
Especially the gangs that hang out in the slums are almost all Gade gangs.
A circle of police officers with guns and ammunition dismounted from the assault vehicles, forcing the gangsters to retreat.
"General, let me bring White to the car to talk to you?" Li said beside him.
Lu Ming nodded, knowing that for the detectives in this police station, eradicating gangs was not within their purview. Therefore, detectives such as Li, in order to maintain a little order in the Gaston Building,
He must have established a good personal relationship with the gang leaders, so that it will be more convenient for them to handle cases, enter the building to catch fugitives, etc.
Sure enough, Li got out of the car and entered the building. More than half an hour later, a short, fat, bald man came out with him. His sinister eyes made people shudder. Naturally, he was White, the boss of the Sickle Party.
White got into the assault vehicle, and there were only two people in the car, Lu Ming and him.
Lu Ming handed him the business card. White looked at it nonchalantly and stuffed it into his pocket.
"Last month, on March 5, 1967, you attacked the Camel Bar. Among the people you shot were four of our former employees." Lu Ming looked at him, "Now I want an answer."
"I don't know what you're talking about!" White shook his head.
Lu Ming turned around and opened the window, and said to Durant who was standing under the car: "Immediately investigate all members of the Sickle Party in the Gaston Building and arrest all important members of the Sickle Party. If anyone resists, use first-level force."
Respond!"
Durant saluted, turned around, picked up the wireless intercom and gave the order.
The heavily armed police officers got out of the assault vehicles one after another, wearing explosion-proof shields, black hoods, bulletproof helmets, body armor, and assault rifles as standard equipment, and assembled into teams one by one.
Snipers also began to look for strategic positions.
White looked at the scene happening outside, dumbfounded, and said hurriedly: "Um..." He took out the business card from his pocket and looked at it, "Bit...General Bit?" After being stunned for a moment, he said hurriedly: "
Can we negotiate terms?"
Lu Ming has slightly closed his eyes, his attitude is obvious, he has no time to play hide and seek with you, and you don't have any bargaining capital.
"Bang, bang", tear gas was ejected, white smoke filled the air, and the gangsters who had gathered in front of the building immediately became chaotic.
"General, yes, it was funded by a boss. He gave us five thousand yuan, ten pistols and thousands of rounds of ammunition..." White said anxiously.
Lu Ming still said nothing.
There was a "bang bang" gunshot, and the special police had opened fire.
"It was Queens Borough Minister Mr. Eric who sent someone to sponsor us, and he said there wouldn't be any trouble!" White said loudly.
Lu Ming then knocked on the car window and said to the outside: "Just sweep the first floor!" With such a big battle, naturally we couldn't return empty-handed.
White's expression changed again and again, but for some reason, he didn't dare to say more.
The first floor is commonly known as Maliao, which is a place where prostitutes sell their sex under the control of the Sickle Party and the Nine-Nine Gang.
Although the Gaston Building makes the citizens of Gilles talk about it with envy, the first floor is the favorite of many middle-class people, because although most of the people on the first floor go there to spend money, there is also a wealthy area, and the prostitutes selected are all beautiful.
, also provides child prostitutes.
In less than an hour, hundreds of women were taken out.
Durant's SWAT team will naturally not be able to distinguish whether these stables belong to the Sickle Party or the Nine-Nine Gang. If everything goes wrong, the Nine-Nine Gang will also suffer.
White's face was earth-colored and he was speechless.
Lu Ming glanced at White. This was really a case of the Gedes bullying the Gedes. The Sickle Party was all Gedes, and the refugees who were oppressed in the Gaston Building were also Gedes.
Including these stables, the vast majority of women are forced to live or even forced to live in these stables.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Looking at the slightly dilapidated skyscraper outside the car window, Lu Ming said lightly: "I'll go to the city hall to have a look and buy this Gaston Building."
Come down, White, what do you say?"
White smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
The Gaston Building has failed to sell at several auctions, and no one is willing to buy it now.
Lu Ming had already said out the car window: "You guys deal with this first, I'll go to the city hall."
…
Office of the Chief Commissioner on the top floor of Gill Town Hall.
Heins was stunned for a while as he listened to the person on the phone. He thought for a while: "Well, you invite General Bute to come to my office."
The call came from Office No. 9, the so-called "Illegal Property Processing Office". "Illegal property" refers to confiscated Ged property, but most of it has been auctioned long ago.
Now the new representative of the First Control wants to buy the Gaston Building? What is his plan?
Major General Bute, who came back from the Western Regions, was specifically discussed in a party meeting. He was considered to be a powerful figure due to his qualifications and his ability to perform in the Western Regions. However, not only has the power of the First Control been completely emasculated, internal strife has also become serious.
It was so serious that the man who had single-handedly maintained the United Kingdom's interests in the Western Region for several years was sent to do the handover and clean-up work of the police force. It was a casual job that anyone could do.
But what does this guy mean by buying the Gaston Building?
While Hines was thinking about it, there was a gentle knock on the office door. Behind the beautiful secretary was a handsome man. Although he was wearing plain clothes, he had an extraordinary bearing. At first glance, he seemed to have commanded thousands of troops.
Hines saw the photo of the young major general and stood up with a smile: "General Bit, I have admired you for a long time and have long wanted to visit you!"
Lu Ming shook hands with him and exchanged greetings. The two parties sat down on the sofa in the rest area, and the beautiful female secretary brought two cups of coffee.
After chatting for a while, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Mayor, what do you think about my purchase of the Gaston Building? I'm willing to pay 100,000 yuan."
Hines smiled and said, "When this building was built thirty years ago, it cost 15 million. Today, without 40 to 50 million, it would be difficult to build such a skyscraper."
Lu Ming nodded: "You also said that it was before, but during the war, it was bombarded by artillery fire. Didn't construction experts say that it is difficult to repair? The building structure has been damaged. If this continues, it will become a dangerous building in ten or twenty years.
, it is basically impossible to renovate it, you can only blow it up and rebuild it, so to buy it is equivalent to buying a piece of land, blowing up the building, and cleaning up the land, so it keeps failing! Now, the economic center has moved to
With the new district, Queens has become a slum, and the price of the Gaston Tower land has been greatly reduced, not to mention that the building has become a slum, gangs are rampant, and it is ruined and ruined!"
After a pause, Lu Ming said: "One hundred thousand yuan, probably no one else would be willing to offer this price."
Hines shook his head: "Major General Bit, in fact, it's not just about money. Why the city council has not evicted the people who are occupying the Gaston Building? It is mainly about giving the poor a place to live, out of humanitarian considerations.
If you want to buy it now, let's assume you have a way to clear it out, but there are probably tens of thousands of citizens living in that building, right?"
Lu Ming nodded: "Including the gang members, there must be 70,000 to 80,000 people living in shantytowns in the surrounding areas."
Hines spread his hands and said, "Well, assuming the general can clear the area, who can bear the catastrophic consequences of the influx of 70,000 to 80,000 homeless people, or nearly 100,000 refugees into the city?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I can promise not to clear the place, but I don't have the ability to clear the place."
Hines was stunned and said, "Excuse my stupidity, I can't even figure it out!"
Lu Ming sighed, "I just think they are so miserable and want to help them. I like helping people, especially now that I have seen it, I will definitely do something for them."
Huh? Hines looked at Lu Ming and was dubious for a moment.
After thinking about it again, Heins said: "Okay, General Bit, you also know that if you want to sell an important building like Gaston, you need to go through a lot of procedures. During this time, you should think about it again, and I will."
We will urge the office to arrange a hearing as soon as possible."
Lu Ming took out a check and handed it over. It was a check in denomination of 100,000 yuan.
Hines hurriedly declined: "I can't guarantee it, and besides, I shouldn't collect the payment, right?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "No, I hope the mayor can arrange the preparation expenses for the hearing as soon as possible. It would be best if the hearing could be held today!"
Hines was stunned for a moment, looking at the face value of the check.
Lu Ming said nothing and waited quietly.
The gold that Soros gave to the kingdom is in the underground secret room of Hines' villa No. 21.
In fact, judging from the amount of gold that Soros secretly exchanged and collected, it is clear that the Ged people originally had the idea of establishing an independent country.
The gold may not belong to Soros himself, but to the secret organization preparing to found the country.
It wants to become part of the Imperial Federation, rather than remaining under the rule of the Kingdom of Grifonni.
But now, all this is naturally meaningless.
According to Soros, the secret room is very hidden and difficult for outsiders to find.
There are no reports of a huge amount of gold being discovered in Villa No. 21. Even if Hines discovered it, he was prepared to hide it for his own use.
Now judging from his reaction when he saw the check worth 100,000 yuan, there is a high probability that he did not find the gold.
It would be nice to take this opportunity to get in touch with him.
Finally, Hines quickly picked up the check and stuffed it into his inner pocket. His expression became serious and he said, "General Bit, please write another check for 10,000 yuan!"
Lu Ming didn't say much, he wrote a check for 10,000 yuan and put it on the coffee table.
Hines rang the desk bell, and the beautiful secretary walked in.
Hines pointed to the check on the coffee table and said: "You take the check to Office No. 9 and tell me that with the money I finally got, I will sell the negative equity in Gaston for 10,000 yuan and call it Office No. 9."
Start the simple procedure and complete the relevant procedures immediately to prevent investors from changing their minds!"
The secretary said yes and walked out with the check.
Haines said to Lu Ming: "General Bit, please go through the formalities with her. Thank you for your investment!" He looked very serious, as if he and Lu Ming had just met, and the chat they had just laughed and laughed at had never happened, let alone closed it.
What a check.
Lu Ming nodded and stood up, thinking in his mind that the Rose Party's model is very efficient.
As for Hines, in terms of collecting money and doing things, he is pretty good. He originally planned to buy the Gaston Building for 100,000 yuan, but now he only spent 10,000 yuan more to get the legal procedures today, which is equivalent to expedited fees.
.
From the perspective of normal investment costs, investors will feel that Mayor Hines is very good, and they will not have any thoughts of being extorted to report him. Instead, they hope that the more such officials the better.
The result is relatively ideal, but there is a big difference in whose pocket the money goes into.
