Shadow Empire

Chapter 337: Trouble [666+9]
The mayor actually hadn't said anything yet. The Socialist Party transferred him from another state in the hope that he could solve some problems within Jingang City.

He had tried before, but there was no good solution. This damn place was full of their people from top to bottom.

Only recently have some results been achieved.

It’s not that he wants to use drastic measures, but that if he doesn’t use drastic measures, he may not be able to make it in time!
Of course he knew what the five major families thought, and he also knew what those people in the Bay Area thought.

Until he leaves this city, Jingang City will still belong to the locals!
If that were the case, his eight years would seem meaningless, and he would have lost his value to those in the Socialist Party!
Why did Mike suddenly come to Jingang City to conduct a public opinion survey?
In fact, when it comes down to it, it is also a statement of the Socialist Party, giving him some encouragement and using the nomination for Speaker of the House of Representatives to motivate him to work harder!
If he loses, he will never have any other chance. He may stay in a place where no one cares for another eight years, and then one day someone tells him that the Socialist Party has decided to give the opportunity to younger politicians.

His political career ends here!

This is not what he wants, so he must get everything done before he leaves, then any price he pays will be worth it!
Someone has to sacrifice something, right?
While the mayor was planning to gain actual control of the entire city, Councilman Williams was also communicating with Lance about some recent events.

"The state government is very dissatisfied with the chaotic public security situation in Jingang City, but it has not yet reached the point of intervening."

He picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Lance, then took out a box of cigars, "Ya Lan Jin Ye, the best cigars, try it!"

Yalanjinye is a very special kind of tobacco leaf. After it is processed, part of the leaves will have a layer of something like an oil film under the light, reflecting golden light.

Coupled with its special mellow taste, golden tobacco quickly gained the favor of people all over the world, and it appeared on the tables of royal families in many countries.

People are like this. Whatever the people above like, the people below will follow suit.

In less than thirty years, golden tobacco was on the verge of extinction. Although it is now protected and artificially intervened, the output is still small.

Because they found that compared to selling them to the public, the price of this limited edition product is actually higher!
As for whether artificially grown tobacco leaves and naturally grown tobacco leaves taste the same, the difference is actually not that big.

Lance picked one up. The packaging looked very luxurious, and it even had a layer of gold foil on the outside!
Liquor in one hand and a cigar in the other, perhaps this is Mr. Williams' life!

He sat on the separate sofa, "Where were we talking about?"

"It's not yet time to interfere."

"Yes, that's it!" Congressman Williams pointed at the ceiling with his cigar. "The older you get, the easier it is to forget things, even things that just happened."

He first laughed at himself, then said, "Jingang City is still not in chaos enough, and the pressure on the mayor is not enough. We need more pressure!"

He placed his cigar on the ashtray, "Strike!"

"As we said before, once Golden Harbor is shut down, the entire Congress will be shaken, and they will definitely intervene at that time."

"As the core cause of this political turmoil, our mayor will naturally be punished by him!"

He held out his hand to Lance, "Is your friend ready?"

Lance took a sip of his drink, "Any time."

Congressman Williams was very satisfied. He leaned back and said, "Let me introduce you to a new friend. He is also a young man and you can have more in common."

"James?"

James walked in from the door with a reserved and humble smile on his face. It must be said that James is indeed a young man with extraordinary appearance.

You look at him, he doesn't say anything, doesn't make any movements, but you can feel his dignity.

This kind of dignity is a temperament cultivated since childhood. Congressman Williams has been training him as his successor since childhood, so naturally he has given him all the best!
He is worthy of Senator Williams' training, at least he did not grow up in a wrong direction.

"Mr. Lance, nice to meet you!"

Lance stood up and shook his hand, "I've heard of you, Mr. Williams, and I'm glad to meet you as well."

Hearing Lance's words, Congressman Williams showed a happy smile on his face, which was actually quite pleasant for humans, especially people like him.

The name "Little Serena Williams" is the continuation of his life!

Even if he dies one day, as long as James is still active in politics and people still hear him being called "Little Williams", then he is actually still alive.

Death is not the end, being forgotten is.

"Mr. Lance, can you tell me about your plan?"

"Of course, there's nothing I need to keep secret!"

He began to talk about his plan. Although it was not very detailed, James listened with great interest.

In the end, he gave a fair comment, "I can't think of any better advice!"

"Then this matter has been settled. We can start to gradually heat it up now, and then when we need it..."

"You can call me for anything. Every era has a 'partner' that belongs to this era. I think we are the golden partner of the next era!"

After Lance left, Senator Williams asked James, "What do you think of him?" James shook his head and picked up his glass. "I haven't seen him much, so I can't tell now. But he speaks and acts very logically, so he shouldn't be an idiot."

Councillor Williams couldn't help but burst out laughing, "The idiot couldn't do what he did, did you hear that?"

James put down his glass. He wasn't a very good drinker. "What?"

Councillor Williams recounted what happened recently in the Empire District. "He is very good at winning people's hearts. It was just a simple little thing for him, but he was able to maximize the benefits of these things."

"If he is a politician, I will not let you cooperate with him. Of course, I don't think you are not his opponent, but if you can't get out, you will inevitably become the most familiar enemy in the future."

"It will do you no good, especially when your enemies know you better than you know yourself."

"But now is very appropriate, because it will be difficult for him to make any outstanding performance in politics in his lifetime. Who would allow a gang leader to become the actual ruler of a city or the federation?"

"So I am very confident about your cooperation. You complement each other and need each other."

"The five major families have disappointed me so much. This time, we are going to completely rewrite the order and rules of the entire Jingang City!"

A rare, sparkling ambition burst out from Congressman Williams' body!

After leaving Congressman Williams' estate, I was thinking about the gains and losses of these things all the way.

In fact, there is nothing much to think about. Perhaps the interests of Congressman Williams and his son can be maximized in this whole incident.

But it is also a good opportunity for him. He knows very well how much power will be brought when the two sides of society are closely combined.

After he returned, he informed Johnny and allowed him to start the operation.

Johnny was transferred from his position due to injury, and now his salary has been reduced by about seven or eight dollars. He was already angry.

Now with Lance's support, he can finally vent his anger!
After he hung up the phone, he took a deep breath and felt full of strength!

He strode towards the dock management office. The dock management office was responsible for all the work done by the dock workers.

He found the office in charge of assigning work and slammed the door. Immediately, an impatient voice came from inside, "Who the hell is banging on the door outside?"

"The door is not locked!"

"Fake!"

There's no way a guy working on the docks can be a civilized person because these muscle guys aren't civilized either.

It is far less useful to tell them what the work manual says in so many lines than to scold them!
As soon as I entered the door, the bald guy behind the door couldn't help but shout.

"Fuck, Johnny, fuck, this isn't your fucking home, you have to watch your strength."

"If you break my door, you'll lose your salary this month!"

"Now, tell me what the hell you want from me?"

Johnny slammed his hands on the table. The vibration still made his radius feel uncomfortable. He stared at the guy behind the desk with wide eyes, "Transfer my job back!"

The man leaned back in his chair. "I can't do this."

There are only so many legal positions at the docks. If you want to transfer from a good position to a bad one, it is easy. You can be transferred with just one sentence.

But if you want to transfer from a bad job to a good job, that’s damn difficult!

Johnny's current income is about 22% less than before. If he wants to transfer back, it means someone will lose this 22%. Who would be willing to do that?
Even the guy who replaced Johnny's job wouldn't be willing to do it, so he just said it was impossible!

Johnny was here to cause trouble. He walked around the table, grabbed the man by the collar and lifted him up. "Either you raise my salary back to thirty-eight dollars."

"Or you can just adjust my job back to where it belongs!"

"Or I'll shove your head into your mother's asshole!"

"You choose one!"

The man didn't want to choose anything. He just shouted, "Security, security, someone is causing trouble!"

Soon several strong men rushed in from outside the door. The workers at the dock were poorly educated and violence was their way of communicating, so it was always a good idea to prepare more security guards.

The guy walking in front looked at Johnny. He also knew Johnny and said, "You'd better put him down and get out of here before I get angry!"
