Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 57 How to spend money
Luke puts Shelley in charge of this.
She has strong gangster habits and is well connected among gang members. She knows the ins and outs of most of them.
Admission can be based on merit.
When Kylena heard that the inspector was going to bring all these gang members into the Secret Service, she couldn't help but worry and said, "Inspector... our organization's smuggling of magic potions is already illegal. If you recruit these illegal gang members into the Secret Service, if they cause trouble in the future, I'm afraid it will implicate you."
"It's a small matter to implicate me, but the big matter is how to make everyone live a comfortable life." Luke said selflessly and earnestly: "The Government Affairs Office makes things difficult for us, and the Public Security Bureau is always thinking about swallowing up the dock.
If we don't have a force that dares to fight and kill, the check in your pocket may be the last bonus I can give you.
The people in the Mad Axe headquarters are all those who have fought against the people under the Public Security Bureau. They are brave, powerful, and have the same interests as us. Only by recruiting them can we quickly have a force to fight against the Public Security Bureau.
If we recruit through normal channels, can we recruit so many people we can trust?"
Definitely not!
The heads of various departments were touched to have such a detective who cared about his subordinates.
As an imperial spy, although it is inevitable to deal with gang members and criminals, such things are usually done by ordinary lower-level agents.
Officials cherish their reputation and will not easily get stained, which will seriously affect their resume. Inspector Meteorite is in an important position at such a young age, and there is still a lot of room for promotion in the future!
However, for the sake of everyone's future livelihood and prospects, the inspector actually disregarded his own future.
Such superiors must be cherished.
Worthy of respect.
"Inspector..." Kylena was very emotional, her eyes were already full of tears.
She was a civilian employee, spending all day in the bureau, and her ways of making money were not as extensive as those of Shelley and the others.
The check she just received was the largest bonus she had received since joining the Secret Service.
Most other supervisors are in the same situation as Kylena. The clerical staff have no time and don’t know where to extort.
Everyone feels that following such a detective... is rewarding.
Shelley knew that his chief inspector had a strong backer, but he didn't dare to say anything. After receiving the order, he went out to the Axe headquarters to select people.
Luke really doesn't need to worry about promotion. Of course, he will do whatever is beneficial to him.
The expansion issue has been resolved, and the only thing left is how to make good use of the money in hand.
Only by making money can you build your own rabbit hole that is both solid and well connected.
The most readily available is potion production and smuggling.
Ralph's potion workshop was too small and its location was not conducive to large-scale production and secrecy.
Luke decided to spend some money to buy a site to build a potion factory. The location should be close to the dock so that the produced potions can be delivered in time. He also had to build high walls and watchtowers to isolate the factory to prevent outsiders from peeping into the secrets inside.
A supervisor suggested...it would be better to build a prison under the Secret Service and include it in the Secret Service's security zone.
If you hang the sign of the Secret Intelligence Bureau up, ordinary people will not only not be able to peek, but will also have to walk around it when they pass by.
Luke thought this was a good idea: I'll leave it to you!
The next step is to take out some money to buy potion production equipment.
There are also transport vehicles and a range of items needed to produce potions .
These are not things they can decide on the spur of the moment; they need to ask Ralph.
Luke handed the matter over to Kaileena, since she would be responsible for the operation of the potion factory in the future anyway.
The investment direction that Luke proposed next was beyond the expectations of these executives.
Run night school?
Several people looked at each other.
What...is this thing?
Luke explained to them in detail what night school was, what kind of people it was aimed at, and what was taught there.
As the saying goes: Gangsters are not to be feared, but gangsters with culture are to be feared.
The main reason why the Mad Axe headquarters was able to hold on was not only the more than 2,000 reinforcements, but the 500 bottles of powerful rage potions were probably even more effective.
Also an Imperial spy.
When Kalina saw 80 million Reichsmarks, she thought about how to help the inspector plan how to make good use of it.
Shelley thought how to divide it.
This is the difference between being cultured and being uncultured.
In Luke's envisioned potion production, smuggling, and subsequent plans, what is lacking is not thugs and laborers, such people are everywhere in the Cape District.
What is lacking are skilled workers, lower-level executors, middle-level managers, and upper-level decision makers.
The purpose of running night schools is to cultivate this kind of talents.
The night school that Luke was going to run was aimed at sailors on ships, dock laborers, and gang members. He would recruit part-time or full-time teachers to teach them many practical courses such as navigation, planning, accounting, mathematics, mechanical operation, and cooking.
The teaching time is a few hours after dinner at the end of the work day.
When Pisco heard that night school means classes are held at night, he was very dissatisfied.
"Inspector, I don't think your night school can be run. Everyone is busy all day, and everyone wants to have some fun in the evening.
Instead of running a night school, we should open a casino or a brothel, as these businesses can make money quickly. "
Other supervisors also seemed to be pessimistic about night school.
They had been in the Cape area for a long time and knew the character of sailors, coolies and gang members.
Books...are not as pretty as women.
Luke insisted on his own idea.
"I admit that your ideas are shared by most people who make a living at the docks, but I also believe that... there must be some people who want to learn and improve themselves. Although the proportion of such people is small, with such a large base, their number is definitely not a minority.
In our time, things are changing every moment, and the changes are getting faster and faster.
The people who can keep up with the changes of the times are definitely those who are willing to spend time accumulating knowledge.
In the Cape District... no, even in the entire Raging Waves City, only a very small number of people can receive a good education. Most people who want to study either have no money or no opportunity .
The purpose of my night school is not to make a profit, but to help those who want to change their lives and future. "
Most people in the room couldn't understand what Luke said.
Seeing that his supervisors all looked confused, Luke directly exercised his authority.
"It's settled. Kylena wrote me a plan for the night school, and the name is 'Yanyang Technical School'.
I hope that all departments will treat this technical school as the most important thing for the Secret Service in the near future. Expand publicity and tell everyone on the dock what Yanyang Technical School is.
If we enroll one more person in night school, there will be one less drunkard in the Cape area at night.
This will help improve the security of the Cape District. If we do well, it will be the political achievement of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.”
The executives suddenly realized.
Inspector, if you had said this earlier, wouldn't we have understood?
