"As you heard, Mr. Hu." Apstein didn't feel any shame at all, but could feel a sense of pride in his eyes. "Or, you can help us apply for this medicine from Mr. Governor. Genuine approval document?”
"We are willing to share 10% of the profits with you."
Hu Xuewen's previous careless attitude has disappeared without a trace. As a businessman who has licked blood on the tip of a knife, he instinctively felt that this matter was wrong, and immediately refused: "I can't make the decision in this matter, you can only Go ask the Governor."
In fact, there is no problem with selling this kind of medicine from a legal perspective. This type of medicine is also included in the medicines imported from the empire.
As Apstein said, this type of medicine that has nothing to do with health protection is not included in the control list.
In other words, as long as the quality is up to standard, Hu Xuewen can produce and sell it himself.
Regardless of whether it is analyzed from the perspective of legality or rationality, it seems that this business can be done - as long as you pay taxes to the Governor's Palace when exporting.
But as a businessman who can stop greed in the face of profit, Hu Xuewen's intuition told him that this business cannot be done!
Except for the slight discrepancy between Apstein's clothing and what he said, Hu Xuewen had no other information...but just a little seed of doubt was enough to make him cautious.
If he didn't have this kind of personality, he would have been blown up in pieces by the front-line artillery fire.
"That's such a pity, Mr. Hu." Apstein saw Hu Xuewen's attitude and couldn't help but sigh, "Then I..."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a very hard knock on the door.
These are definitely not workers in the factory... Even if they are very familiar with Hu Xuewen, they will not knock on the door with such force.
Hu Xuewen immediately turned his head: "Who is it?"
"Hello, Director Hu Xuewen, I am Zhan Tongyan from the General Law Enforcement Department of the Governor's Mansion. The Governor has important matters to meet with Mr. Apstein Jeffery."
Hu Xuewen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a pot of tea from his hand and poured it for Apstein: "Just in time, the Governor wants to see you, so you can go directly."
Apstein took a symbolic sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu, how do you say that... I wish you a prosperous business, and I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate in other places in the future."
No...you must never come again!
After Hu Xuewen watched Apstein leave, he quickly waved his assistant over and whispered: "If you see this person again in the future, just ask the security guard to stop him and don't let him in. Do you understand?"
The assistant nodded: "I understand."
"If you know it, go to work quickly... By the way, help me find a master. I want to roll this tobacco into cigarettes, so that I can smoke less at one time."
"..."
…
At the same time, the Governor's Palace.
After Jiang Sui sent his people out, he stopped focusing on the internal affairs panel for the time being—if he wanted to continue development, he had to wait until the industrial zoning was completely completed.
Take advantage of these few days to see if the energy problem can be solved through diplomatic means. If not, while the current energy reserves are still sufficient, quickly form a navy and prepare to regain the islands by force.
Anyway, as long as the food problem is solved, there won't be any major problems within the Governor's District for the time being.
Jiang Sui's headache at this time was the pile of reports on the table.
After the new government comes to power, various false and unjust cases will definitely have to be re-tried.
that is……
"I asked the Law Enforcement Department to call in the Gerbil Gang's major mysteries of the past year. How could they pile up a mountain for me?"
Since the Gerbil Gang was declared illegal, countless people have gone to the police station to report the crime.
Suddenly there are not enough law enforcement officers - some cases are so extensive that many police personnel need to be mobilized.
Only Jiang Sui has the right to make the final decision on such a major event.
I thought that by limiting the cases to "malignant", "large-scale" and "suspicious" cases, there wouldn't be too many documents...
It can only be said that Jiang Sui's imagination for the rule of darkness is still not strong enough.
"The night before the relief supplies were released, all the warehouses mysteriously caught fire? Hundreds of people were burned to death, and tens of thousands of people starved to death at the same time?"
"A shipwreck that killed thousands of people...the investigation team disappeared on the road?"
"Missing persons cases are common, with no one alive or dead, and most of them are young women?"
"..."
"Hiss, these are not trivial matters. They may even involve the senior members of the Gerbil Gang... Then give the Law Enforcement Department the power to interrogate the senior members of the Gerbil Gang."
Currently, all senior members of the Gerbil Gang are being held in special prisons on charges of war crimes. They are under the jurisdiction of the military and the Department of Law Enforcement has no right to directly interrogate them.
Jiang Sui, who is not a professional, is not good at investigating cases. He can only provide as much help as possible to the law enforcement department and mobilize forces to ensure that the case proceeds smoothly and that the investigation is not blocked by any force.
While Jiang Sui was busy handling government affairs, Gu Qinghuan who was beside him suddenly looked at Jiang Sui and reported: "Your Excellency, the Governor, the director of Dongyang Trading Group, Apstein Jeffery is already downstairs of the Governor's Mansion, you Do you want to see him now?"
"Let him in." Jiang Sui lowered his head, "No need to be too polite to him."
Gu Qinghuan immediately conveyed the governor's order intact.
A few minutes later, led by several law enforcement officers, Apstein walked into the governor's office. He took off his hat in a very pompous manner, raised his right cane backward, and bowed at an angle of nearly 90 degrees. His tone was extremely humble.
"I have long admired your name, distinguished Mr. Governor! I hereby offer you the utmost loyalty. No one knows your name, no one is afraid of your power, and no one refuses to obey your speech!"
Jiang Sui was not a flatterer, so naturally he didn't feel much about flattery. He pointed to the position in front of his desk and said softly: "Apstein, sit down."
"Thank you for your generosity." Apstein, who was like an old gentleman, bowed again, "I came in a hurry and I didn't prepare a gift for you. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, the Governor's Mansion doesn't plan to prepare a gift for you." Jiang Sui has never been polite to those who invade his territory. "Warrant Officer Gu, please bring the holographic planet."
Gu Qinghuan did as he was told, and within a few seconds, the three-dimensional image of Tianhaixing's entire planet was projected onto his desk.
"Oh...this is the great imperial technology!"
Jiang Sui ignored this exaggerated praise. He stretched out his hand and turned the holographic planet to the middle of the ocean. He pointed at the archipelago that was forcibly taken away by the Eastern Ocean Trading Group: "You'd better give me this place." A satisfactory explanation.”
After asking, Jiang Sui raised his head and looked into Apstein's eyes with a dull look.
In his opinion, this old gentleman had nothing more than two attitudes - either he refused to return the island ungratefully; or he saw the reality clearly and put forward conditions when returning the island.
Is it going to be a military encounter or a peaceful settlement...
"Oh! This matter, this matter!" Apstein tapped the floor with his cane, and an apologetic and ambiguous expression appeared on his face, "We didn't think it through carefully. We were really busy and forgot about it. , don’t be angry!”
"Don't worry, I will inform the board of directors of your request immediately, and you can see the highest-level invitation letter on your desk in three days!"
"If you have any preferences, you can tell us in advance and we will try our best to prepare it for you!"
Jiang Sui was confused as he listened to Apstein's ramblings.
What the hell?
What kind of invitation letter, what kind of advance notification of preferences?
Wasn't he asking Apstein for the oil drilling platforms and coal mines on that archipelago? What is Apstein talking about now?
