Chapter 542: Alliances and Alliances
"General Lowe, this is an obvious thing," said Inspector Mario.
"In my opinion, Inspector Mario is biased against me!" Jiang Ning sneered and said, "After all, Xianglong International is your favorite. It is difficult for us, who came later, to catch your eye."
Jiang Ning knew clearly that it must be Xianglong International that reported to Mario and asked Mario to get him involved.
What's lacking now is evidence, but as long as Xianglong International gives enough commission, I believe Mario will make trouble and bring Jiang Ning into jail even without evidence.
It is easy to find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime. In this country, the degree of darkness is beyond the imagination of most people.
"Ridiculous, what do you mean by that?" Mario said angrily, "You should know that you will be held legally responsible for every word you say!"
"Of course I can take legal responsibility!" Jiang Ning said, "But I think Inspector Mario is a big shot with a vision and won't take my words seriously. You must have a higher vision!"
"To be honest, what we are pursuing now are all those things! What Xianglong International can give, I can also give!"
"What are you talking about?" Mario pointed at Jiang Ning and said, "You mean, I'm colluding with Xianglong International? You're slandering me. Do you know how serious the crime is to slander a police officer in Mandu? I can put you in jail for life."
"Inspector Mario, don't be so excited. I think what Mr. Jiang said makes sense!" General Lowe said, "Putting aside the matter of Xianglong International, who doesn't like money?"
Lowe and Mario have an old relationship, so he speaks more bluntly.
Luo Wei also has economic cooperation with Jiang Ning, so naturally he is not shy about it.
In this situation, only General Lowe dared to say anything.
"Of course everyone likes money, but I don't make all the money, or everyone's money!" said Mario.
General Lowe was embarrassed by this. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Inspector Mario, please don't be so decisive. I asked you and Mr. Jiang to come together today so that you can discuss whether there is any possibility of cooperation!"
General Lowe is a military man and the leader of the largest armed force in Mando. In terms of power, he is higher than Mario.
But the two of them are not in the same system. Mario is the chief inspector of the police station. He is in charge of the public security and crime in Mando. His direct superior is the big leader of the Siam Police Headquarters. He and Lowe are not in the same line and do not interfere with each other.
Therefore, even if Lowe is more powerful than Mario, he cannot be surpassed.
He could only try his best to bring Jiang Ning and Mario together.
Because he will profit from it.
However, he would not offend Mario for Jiang Ning just for the sake of profit.
"General Lowe, you invited me here today. So you want me to sit down with this guy and talk about something?" Mario stood up and waved his hands: "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come! Humph!"
Then, he added, "It's not that I don't want to give you face, but there is really nothing to discuss between me and this Chinese businessman."
"No, there is something to discuss!" Jiang Ning stood up with a smile, walked to Mario, and said, "Inspector Mario, there are some things that may not be my turn to say, but as a businessman here, my company and my employees are facing a very urgent problem, DU products!"
"Some of my employees have been harmed by drugs, and even their next generation is threatened by drugs."
"These factors directly affect social security and make people very angry!"
Jiang Ning spread his hands and said, "Didn't they hold an anti-drug demonstration in front of the Mando government building a while ago? The situation is really not optimistic right now!"
Jiang Ning's mention of this made Mario feel a little guilty.
Because, Xianglong International has been secretly doing DU product business in recent years.
And their umbrella of protection is Mario.
Every year, Xianglong International will give a lot of profits to Mario.
That's why their cooperation is so close.
However, drugs are becoming more and more rampant in Mandu. It is not just Xianglong International that is involved, local gangs are also involved. The consequence of the proliferation of drugs is that the people are suffering. The public is increasingly dissatisfied with the public security in Mandu, and reactionary sentiment is getting higher and higher.
Just a week ago, the public’s anger and reactionary sentiment reached a peak, with people holding anti-DU banners and marching in the square in front of the government.
As a result, there was chaos and a number of people died.
This incident put the government under great pressure, and it realized that it had to take action to give an explanation to the people.
The largest local security management is the police station, especially the drug enforcement department, which is under the police station and is part of Mario's jurisdiction.
In addition, General Lowe is the Chief of Armed Forces and also has part of the responsibility for public security management, so almost all the pressure of the government is assigned to these two people.
The one under the most pressure is Mario.
Mario is also very distressed at the moment, and this matter makes him extremely anxious.
Because he almost gets a commission from all of Mandu's drug business.
He could only make those drug dealers restrain themselves temporarily, but the fundamental problem could not be solved.
You have to know that drug dealers are not so obedient. They don’t spend money in vain when they give you money.
You collected the money and got on the boat. They ignored Mario's advice and continued selling DU products as usual.
Mario couldn't use a knife on them yet, because if he did, he would be exposed.
So this is where his distress lies. He is too deeply trapped and cannot extricate himself.
Jiang Ning said: "To go further, Xianglong International has been trafficking drugs, and I have evidence!"
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows.
Mario suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
This guy, is he going to cause trouble?
Right now is the height of public opinion. If he uses drugs as an excuse to stir up some trouble, no one will be able to handle it.
He looked at General Lowe and said, "General Lowe, you came to me not to negotiate, but to threaten me!"
Lowe sighed and said, "Inspector Mario, we are old friends. You and I are both under a lot of pressure on the drug issue. If we don't show some attitude now, the government and the people will not give up!"
He walked forward and gently stroked Mario's shoulders with both hands: "Old friend, please sit down first and don't be so excited. I brought Mr. Jiang to discuss cooperation with you today. In fact, I am helping you!"
"Help me? What can he do to help me?" Mario frowned.
"Haha!" Luo Wei smiled lightly and looked at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stood up and walked to Mario, bent down and whispered a few words in Mario's ear: "...Inspector Mario, do you think my method is feasible?"
Mario's eyes sparkled.
The idea was a good one, but he did not express his opinion immediately because he was waiting for Jiang Ning's price.
"Next, I want to do more in the black market, such as introducing some advanced foreign weapons and ammunition... and the profits of these projects can be used as a commission for the two adults!" Jiang Ning said: "The products on the black market are expensive and profitable, and ordinary people cannot access the black market, so it will not attract the attention of the general public. I think this is the long-term solution!"
