Chapter 146 Corporate Military Patrol
The new congressman's speech ended, and other programs began to play on the display screen. However, the atmosphere in the bar not only did not calm down, but became extremely heated.
Because no one knows what Boss Chen is up to!
How can we not be worried when a very distant and seemingly almost unattainable goal is proposed and no specific methods are announced?
After all, these people all live in this jurisdiction, and instinctively hope that their lives can remain the same . If they insist on making random changes, and turn the jurisdiction into a mess, what should we do?
Many people have already discussed this.
"What is Boss Chen doing? Stop causing trouble!"
"You said you don't need the DCPD's cooperation? Are you going to send Lishan Technology's corporate army directly to move in? Just arrest all those hooligans?"
" Where will they be held after they are captured? Build your own prison? Will Lishan Technology start a new sideline business to compete with the Auburn Prison Group?"
"The key is that there is no benefit from doing this. There are so many hooligans, are we going to arrest and try them one by one?"
"The key is that such a high-profile incident will definitely have a serious impact on the economy of the area. When the corporate army moves in, they can't always maintain a state of martial law, right? At that time, many normal business premises and company operations will be affected, and it may even cause some companies to flee!"
"Yes, these companies may not be able to escape from Liming City, but can they not escape from the jurisdiction? There are not many businesses and companies here to begin with. If another group of them leaves, how can the economy of this jurisdiction be maintained?"
"Why are you all so pessimistic? Isn't it a good thing to reduce the crime rate? If Boss Chen is really willing to pay out of his own pocket and use Lishan Technology's corporate army to solve this problem, wouldn't that be considered a good thing for the area?"
"That's not the case. Good intentions don't necessarily lead to good results. Even if we can reduce the crime rate in the short term, how long can it last? Once the corporate army withdraws, won't the crime rate rise again immediately? Could it be that Lishan Technology's corporate army will do nothing but maintain law and order in the area?"
The people in the bar were arguing quite fiercely, and some of them were already a little drunk and were about to fight.
In general, there are more people who are pessimistic.
The reasons are very simple, there are only two: the first is that they feel that reducing the crime rate cannot rely solely on crackdowns, as there are endless hooligans to catch, the cost of cracking down is too high, and it is impossible to sustain; the second is that they feel that this move will inevitably lead to a further deterioration of the economic environment in the jurisdiction, and the situation will get worse and worse.
Previously, the corporate armies of major companies had just been stationed in Liming City to impose martial law, and the citizens were in a panic. Now, with great difficulty, some things have been relaxed and some normal economic activities have been resumed.
As a result, at this critical juncture, the corporate army of Lishan Technology came again and started to catch thugs frantically. The residents of this area must not dare to go out on the streets or buy things.
Although the crime rate was a bit high before, most people were used to it. If they really encountered a robbery by thugs, they would just quickly pay the money and consider themselves unlucky. It was always a low-probability event.
But if the corporate army of Lishan Technology captures and suppresses these hooligans every day, won’t there be gunfire every day? Will there be gunfight games everywhere in the jurisdiction?
What if a thug from another jurisdiction comes to commit a crime in the jurisdiction and then runs away? Do we have to chase him to other jurisdictions for cross-regional law enforcement?
If the crime rate can be reduced, that would be great, but the question is how long will it take? One month, or one year?
If these problems cannot be solved quickly and instead become guerrilla warfare, then for many companies and merchants, it would be better not to fight, because that may mean there will be no peace forever .
Their business activities have been affected and they are so troubled that they may just move away.
As a result, the economy of the entire jurisdiction will definitely collapse, unemployment and other problems may occur, and the number of people who are homeless and commit crimes will probably increase.
It's impossible for Lishan Technology to take charge of all matters in the entire jurisdiction, right?
It's not a question of feasibility, but a question of cost-effectiveness. Those big conglomerates would rather build a large base of their own in the wild than transform a district in the city, because the cost-effectiveness of this is too low and it is likely to be a waste of effort.
In short, almost no one is optimistic!
…
In the evening, Wu Yisu prepared to leave the bar and take the hovercraft back to his residence to rest.
The bar is also open at night, but for the owner Wu Yisu, he comes to the bar just to experience and feel life, so he goes back to rest when he is tired, and there are naturally other employees to take care of the bar.
However, just as he was about to board the hovercraft, he saw that there seemed to be some slight commotion on the street.
A small team of corporate soldiers began patrolling the streets!
Wu Yisu took a closer look and found that the person in charge was an acquaintance.
Zeng Hailong!
But his image has changed a lot compared to before!
Zeng Hailong was originally just an ordinary gangster. He was big and strong with a fierce look, and it was obvious that he was not a good person.
But now, he is wearing the combat suit of Lishan Technology, his mechanical prostheses have been replaced with new ones, and he is carrying a gun. He holds his head high and looks quite energetic!
Wu Yisu was a little puzzled. He hadn't seen Zeng Hailong for a while. He only knew that he went to work at the Lishan Technology Field Base. Now it seemed that he not only joined the corporate army, but was also doing well?
How come Lishan Technology has mastered some high-end cosmetic surgery technology? How could such a vicious little thug be transformed into such a mighty and domineering team leader?
Zeng Hailong also saw Wu Yisu and his eyes lit up: "Hey, Boss Wu?"
Wu Yisu hurriedly said, "Don't call me that. I don't deserve it. What should I call you now, Captain Zeng?"
Zeng Hailong's big mouth was wide open with a smile, but he still waved his hands and said, "This is not good, this is not good, I am just a small squad leader."
"By the way, Boss Wu, do you have any clues about the criminals? Robbery, gunfire, extortion, etc., all count."
Wu Yisu shook his head: "Not really. After all, the public security in this generation has been very good. However, other places in the jurisdiction are probably inevitable, especially in the northwest. It seems that a gang has been roaming around there and committing crimes. If you are interested, you can go there and take a look."
Zeng Hailong instantly perked up: "Really? Oh, yes, you mean the people from Gerolamo Gang, right? Then I know what's going on. Thank you!"
After all, Zeng Hailong used to be in a gang, so he knows all about these things.
In fact, there had been a conflict with the Gerolamo Gang before . That time, the Gerolamo Gang was used and wanted to attack Lishan Technology's experience store. As a result, they suffered heavy losses and could even be said to have been unable to recover.
But even so, they were not completely wiped out, but their sphere of influence was reduced and was not as strong as before.
The Gerolamo Gang deliberately avoided the experience stores of Lishan Technology during their activities, but the problem is that Chen She is now a first-level councilor with his own jurisdiction, and the scope of his jurisdiction is much larger than the scope that the experience stores can influence!
As a result, some members of the Gerolamo gang are still active on the edge of Chen She's jurisdiction.
Zeng Hailong waved his hand and said, "Let's go. We'll just wait and see tonight. We'll take as many as we can catch!"
