Zhongyu District, Shuangqing Municipal Government, small conference room.
Bai Qiang is very confused now. On the one hand, Bai Qiang cannot disobey Wang Hong's orders because Wang Hong is the mayor of Shuangqing City, and Bai Qiang has no right or strength to disobey Wang Hong's orders. On the other hand, Bai Qiang does not want to arrest Shi Lei. Bai Qiang knows how cunning Shi Lei is, more clearly than anyone else.
At the same time, Bai Qiang is also very clear about what kind of power Shi Lei controls in Shuangqing City. What if Shi Lei resists arrest? With the power he controls in Shi Lei, once Shi Lei resists arrest, it will definitely cause a lot of noise.
Shi Lei has a gun possession license issued by Rongcheng Military Region, which Bai Qiang already knows. Bai Qiang also knows that Shi Lei's small gang has a large number of guns and three military versions of the Rongcheng Military Region's steel numbers.
Bai Qiang couldn't guarantee whether Shi Lei would honestly accept the police's arrest. If Shi Lei was very lawful, then the arrest of Shi Lei would be very smooth. But what if Shi Lei did not follow the rules?
According to Shi Lei's personality, the chance of surrendering is very small! Then, Bai Qiang will definitely take the blame for the consequences, and the least is a criticism that is unfavorable to do things.
Bai Qiang walked to the door of the small conference room with helpless expression. When he opened the wooden door, someone suddenly said, "Wait!"
"Huh?" Bai Qiang felt a sense of hope. He immediately turned to look at the big guys in Shuangqing City. The person who spoke was not Wang Hong or Meng Xun, but Zhou Ming, the third person in Shuangqing City and director of the Discipline Committee.
"Old Zhou, do you have any opinions?" Wang Hong asked patiently. Zhou Ming is an evergreen in the officialdom of Shuangqing City. He has been in the system of Shuangqing City Discipline Committee for more than 30 years. Zhou Ming knows a lot about the secrets of Shuangqing City's officialdom. Therefore, even if Zhou Ming's status is lower, Wang Hong still needs to give Zhou Ming face.
Zhou Ming is 65 years old this year. Zhou Ming is very clear about why Wang Hong is polite. He did not rely on his seniority, but responded to Wang Hong with the same kindness and said: "Mayor Wang, if we want to arrest Shi Lei, even if we do not consider Shi Lei's influence in Shuangqing City, we need to consider other factors."
"What about it?" Wang Hong asked patiently, not directly scolding Zhou Ming for pleading for Shi Lei in disguise.
"Mayor Wang, Shi Lei is the CEO of Dream Entertainment Company. Dream Entertainment Company has a great influence worldwide. As for our Shuangqing City, the influence of Mirui Technology and Dream Entertainment has penetrated into the lives of every citizen." Zhou Ming spoke calmly.
Wang Hong obviously doesn't believe such an exaggerated statement. Shuangqing City has 30 million citizens. How did Dream Entertainment enter thousands of households?
Zhou Ming continued to explain: "Let's first talk about the social public safety system. This system is a fantasy technology company under Mirui Technology Group, which is authorized to us for free to use by Shuangqing City. With this system, although our Shuangqing City has not completely eliminated crimes, the crime rate has dropped by 87.4% year-on-year. After adopting the social public safety system, the crime rate has continued to decline steadily from the previous month. It is expected that by the end of the year, the crime rate in our Shuangqing City will be less than 5% compared with the same period in history."
Wang Hong's eyes became solemn. He had been studying in Beijing some time ago, and he did not pay much attention to Shuangqing City. The crime rate of a city is extremely low, which is a very important livability index and political achievement.
"Mayor Wang, you have been in Beijing before. I wonder if you have received any news. Some leaders of Beijing are preparing to adopt a social public security system in Beijing. I heard that it is for the preparations for next year's Fifth Ring Games and to ensure the public security of Beijing." Zhou Ming once again said a secret.
"Oh? Is this happening?" Wang Hong really didn't know that if Beijing City also adopted the social public security system of Shuangqing City, it would be a kind of invisible political capital for Wang Hong's work.
"Maybe it's just hearing." Zhou Ming smiled and didn't say anything to death. "Mayor Wang, no matter whether this matter is true or not, once we arrest Shi Lei without evidence, do you think there is still a possibility of happy cooperation between us and us? By the way, Mirui Technology Group had planned to withdraw investment from Xia Guo in a full range. If there was an unhappy relationship between us and Shi Lei, it was hard to guarantee that they would not withdraw from Xia Guo again."
Wang Hong's brows were already frowning.
Zhou Ming did not stop, but continued: "In addition to the influence of Fantasy Technology, Dream Entertainment has a greater influence on Shuangqing City."
Chen Boyi snorted aside. What Zhou Ming said before was all irrefutable facts. Now when talking about Dream Entertainment, he immediately retorted: "Lao Zhou, how much influence can a mere game company have?"
Zhou Ming glanced at Chen Boyi. He understood Chen Boyi's disgust towards Shi Lei very well, "Deputy Mayor Chen, do you know the influence of Dream Entertainment on Shuangqing City?"
Chen Boyi snorted again, obviously he didn't know.
"There are more than four million dream entertainment players in Shuangqing City. And this number is increasing rapidly every day. The world of bravery under Dream Entertainment is not just an online game, but it is really just like the Dream Entertainment Company promotes. It is the second life journey of mankind." Zhou Ming said with a compliment, "Deputy Mayor Chen, I'm afraid you haven't read the local news of Shuangqing City two days ago?"
"What news?" Chen Boyi did not read the local news in Shuangqing City. The local news in Shuangqing City was very strange. For example, the incident of Grandma Li losing a cat can be reported for a week. This kind of news is really shocking.
Zhou Ming's turbid eyes flashed with a ray of light, "Two days ago, the local news in Shuangqing City reported an interesting thing. Our 48 nursing homes in Shuangqing City are all equipped with computers, and all installed the World of Braves developed by Dream Entertainment."
"This..." Chen Boyi was slightly stunned, "What are the problems of these nursing home managers? Do they still want these elderly people to play computer games?"
Wang Hong also asked curiously: "Lao Zhou, what does this news mean?"
The other bigwigs in Shuangqing City looked at Zhou Ming and waited for Zhou Ming's answer.
"I just told the answer! The game developed by Dream Entertainment is not only an online game, but also a second journey of life. The game called the World of Braves. In the game world, those virtual characters actually have the same wisdom as humans. In order to solve the problem of loneliness of the elderly, the nursing home installed the World of Braves for them, and then taught the elderly to use the mouse and keyboard to let the elderly communicate with the virtual characters in the World of Braves." Zhou Ming had a strange look on his face. Zhou Ming, who was 65 years old, did not receive new things too quickly. The non-player control characters in the World of Braves are things that Zhou Ming didn't understand very well.
Wang Hong is much younger. Wang Hong knows more or less about online games, "Lao Zhou, are you talking about the brave world of Dream Entertainment Company? It has now become a solution to the problems of lonely elderly people and left-behind elderly people?"
"It's almost the same! Judging from the information feedback from the forty-seven nursing homes in the city, more than 90% of the elderly currently like the World of Braves. They have made new friends in the World of Braves and are willing to stay in the World of Braves for a long time." Zhou Ming nodded affirmatively.
"Are there anything else in this situation besides the nursing home?" Wang Hong said in a serious tone.
"A lot! In fact, this situation did not start with nursing homes, but a young man in our city. He led his father to play games, and then published an article on the Internet, which caused everyone to imitate wildly. According to the investigation of our Discipline Committee, at least 300,000 people in the city are elderly players." Zhou Ming replied again.
Before Wang Hong asked, Zhou Ming continued: "In addition to the elderly, the World of Braves has also become the new favorite of major hospitals. For patients in the hospital, the World of Braves is also a good way to relieve loneliness. Almost all hospitals in Shuangqing City are all deploying game computers for the World of Braves."
Chen Boyi's face was gloomy, and he was obviously unwilling to let Shi Lei go like this.
"Old Zhou, we just caught Shi Lei, and we didn't want to do anything to Dream Entertainment Company. It won't affect the operation of Dream Entertainment Company!" Chen Boyi said in a bad tone.
But just after saying that, Chen Boyi regretted it, "Old Zhou, what I mean is, if you catch Shi Lei, are you still afraid that Shi Lei will cause something?"
Zhou Ming glared at Chen Boyi with dissatisfaction, "Hmph! Deputy Mayor Chen, Shi Lei is the CEO of Dream Entertainment Company. What if we forcibly arrest him and he announces the suspension of operation of Dream Entertainment?"
"He dared not!" Chen Boyi retorted loudly.
"He doesn't dare?" Zhou Ming laughed, "Deputy Mayor Chen, if the answer in your heart is true, do you think he dares? I said before that Mirui Technology Group once tried to withdraw all investments from Xia Guo. This Shi Lei seems to have a very strong position in Mirui Technology Group. Who can guarantee that Dream Entertainment will not withdraw from Xia Guo? Will it stop providing Brave World Service to Shuangqing City? Even the Brave World of Xia Guo will be banned by Dream Entertainment?"
Chen Boyi's expression was volatile. According to Zhou Ming's statement, Shi Lei could not be arrested unless there was definite evidence. But if there was evidence, why bother discussing how to arrest Shi Lei?
Wang Hong also understood Zhou Ming's meaning, "Old Zhou, what you mean is, can't you catch Shi Lei?"
Zhou Ming nodded, "Yes, Mayor Wang." At this point, Zhou Ming glanced at Bai Qiang and said in a joking tone: "Even if Shi Lei is to be arrested, I am afraid that our Shuangqing City Police Department will not have enough strength!"
Bai Qiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Director Zhou, if we want to arrest Shi Lei, our police station will do our best!"
Wang Hong sighed. The so-called doing his best does not necessarily mean that he can catch Shi Lei. He finally understood why Qiang was unwilling to arrest Shi Lei. Shi Lei's power seemed to be so big.
"Old Zhou, you are an experienced old comrade. I don't know what we should do about the disappearance of Deputy Mayor Xie?" Wang Hong asked Zhou Ming for advice.
Wang Hong is not a local official in Shuangqing City, but Zhou Ming is a local official in Shuangqing City. In Shuangqing City, Zhou Ming has many special channels. How should the Shuangqing City Government deal with Shi Lei, especially Shi Lei has a second-level official identity in the Rongcheng Military Region, the Shuangqing City Government must be cautious and cautious.
If a little bit of trouble is handled well, it will provoke conflicts between the military and local governments!
Therefore, the arrogant Wang Hong would ask Zhou Ming for advice, and at the same time, he also distributed part of the responsibility to Zhou Ming.
But does Zhou Ming have a way to arrest Shi Lei? According to the strength of the two sides, if the strength of the Shuangqing Municipal Government is digitized into 100 units, Shi Lei has only about 10 units of strength.
Even though Shuangqing City is ten times stronger than Shi Lei, they still won’t attack Shi Lei easily.
Shi Lei has a lot of amulets, the first of which is the various gray forces under Shi Lei, including the underground forces in Shuanghu District, the Judgment Security Company, and the hidden Iron and Dawn Masters.
The second amulet is Shi Lei's official identity. He is an active major in the Rongcheng Military Region. This identity makes the Shuangqing Municipal Government very afraid.
Finally, there is the global influence of Miri Technology Group, which has the greatest effect!
With so many amulets, Shuangqing Municipal Government has so many concerns, especially the big guys who cherish their feathers so much that they don’t want to get into any trouble.
Compared with various advantages and disadvantages, how can the Shuangqing Municipal Government arrest Shi Lei? How can it arrest Shi Lei? How can it dare to arrest Shi Lei?
