After the big storm in Danjiang, the violent fluctuations in the power sector have not yet been completely finalized, but they have begun to take shape.
The Qian family was fragmented, and the Shen family's strength was greatly reduced, so the order of Danjiang's first-tier wealthy families also changed to Dong, Kong, and Shen.
Even the Shen family had a vague sense of the Qian family's original posture, which was on the verge of collapse.
On the contrary, the Kong family made rapid progress and took the opportunity to install a large number of direct descendants in the public security system. Their strength increased dramatically at a speed visible to the naked eye, replacing the Shen family and becoming the real talker in the Danjiang public security system.
The Dong family was not idle either, and took the opportunity to collect most of the assets left by the Qian family. Through various means, low-price purchases, mergers and acquisitions, most of the parts of the Baodai Group that were not inherited by Chen Ange fell into their mouths.
If we just sit back and watch this situation develop, there will be a situation in which Dong and Kong are both respected in the future, and the Shen family will not even be able to keep its position at the bottom of the first line.
And if Wan Muchiu ends her acting duties and is transferred, Chen Ange will also be suppressed. Because after all, she is the queen of the underground world, and her old rival Du Sha is always there.
Behind Dusha is Kong.
The Kong family controls the Public Security Department in the sun, and controls Du Sha, the strongest force in the darkness. So in the future, after Wan Muqiu leaves, will the Kong family, who has expanded into a terrifying monster, allow Chen Ange to maintain his presence in the underground world?
So the pattern is very subtle and intricate.
A few days later, new appointments in the public security system were announced. Director Liu, the agent originally supported by the Shen family, was asked to retire early, and the new appointment was Kong Xiangji, a representative of the new generation of the Kong family.
In extraordinary times, even the fig leaf of an agent is dispensed with, and one of one's own people is directly assigned to be the leader, so that the situation can be quickly controlled.
As a member of the same generation as Shen Lan, Kong Xiangji was only four or five years older than Shen Lan, but he suddenly sat in this high position, which could be described as a triumph.
After he took charge of the Public Security Department, he immediately made thorough adjustments to internal personnel. First of all, Deputy Director Zhou, who had been entrusted by Qian Shicheng to suppress the Millennium Group, was promoted to Executive Deputy Director by Kong Xiangji. Second in command.
Because he was originally one of Kong's people who was installed in the public security system in order to compete for influence. Now that Shen has fallen, Deputy Director Zhou has been promoted halfway.
In addition, under the arrangement of Kong Xiangji, Gu Yue, the director of the Xiaojiletian Public Security Station who had a good relationship with Chen Ange, was transferred.
Because of his close relationship with Chen Ange, this narrow-eyed police officer nicknamed Gu Blind Man was directly assigned to the most remote area of Xicheng and became the director of the Banwan Police Station.
This is the poorest place in Danjiang. In addition to old industries and mines, it is also the farmland where trouble broke out a while ago. It can be said to be the least profitable public security station.
Compared with the Xiaoji Letian Public Security Station, which was said to be able to land gold ingots just by stamping its feet, it is naturally superior to heaven and earth.
And the person who was sent to this most prosperous, chaotic, and unlimited business opportunity is not a new face - Director Yang, Yang Yilin, who was kidnapped by Duan Xi with the Golden Gladiolus Medal when he was investigating Millennium!
This Yang Yilin is Deputy Director Zhou's die-hard henchman and can be regarded as a middle-level backbone in Kong Xiangji's line. Naturally, he is also proud of himself at this time. Although the agency office and the dispatched public security station are at the same level, it is obvious that the latter has more real power and benefits. What's more, it's the first fat little paradise.
Now with the care of acting security brigade commander Wan Muqiu, the security system has not taken direct action against Chen Ange's Millennium Group, but the appointment and dismissal of Gu Yue and Yang Yilin is a weather vane - I can't let you, Chen Ange, feel too comfortable.
"The person who came here is not a good person." Chen Ange was unhappy when he heard the news of the appointment and dismissal in the office.
Duan Xi smiled and said: "Who asked the Kong family to support Dusha, and you are Dusha's only opponent in Danjiang. So while Lao Wan is still in Danjiang, you must quickly develop and strengthen your own Strength will do."
“What is ‘hard power’? Making money?”
"No matter how much money you make, even if it triples within three years, it will only reach the level of the Qian family. But you can also see that even the Qian family fell apart in an instant. So, there is only money, but no money to protect. The ability is actually a way to a quick death."
This was absolutely a piece of good advice, and Chen Ange was deeply shocked.
"Please continue to advise me, my great advisor."
Duan Xi then seemed to go a little further: "Back then, there were four powerful families: Dong, Shen, Kong, and Qian. Do you know why they were ranked like this?"
Of course Chen Ange had considered it before, based on their respective strengths.
Duan Xi analyzed her more thoroughly——
"The Shen family has the deepest penetration in the Public Security Department, and almost firmly controls this most powerful violent department; plus the farms and flour mills in the south and west of the city, it is equivalent to controlling the grain bags of Danjiang."
"The Kong family is working hard with the Shen family to compete for influence in the public security system, trying their best to infiltrate the security system. At the same time, they also support Dusha to control most of Danjiang's underground businesses. In addition, the Kong family has a monopoly on Danjiang's pharmaceutical production and The two largest hospitals in the city directly control the life and death of Danjiang people."
"As for the Qian family, they only know how to make money with their heads down. The entertainment industry and the luxury goods industry are all very lucrative. Although they try to place some people in various systems and have many friends and connections at the top, they lack the ability to hold on to these at critical times." Money" ability."
"Shen's control of food is equivalent to controlling 'life', Kong's control of medical treatment is equivalent to control of 'death', and Qian's only engages in entertainment and luxury goods, so it is natural and reasonable to rank last."
Chen Ange realized the crux of the problem: "But even the two families that control 'life' and 'death' are still behind the Dong family."
"Yes!" Duan Xi said: "Although the Dong family is also involved in various industries such as construction, transportation, commerce, and industrial production, it has not actually formed a high degree of monopoly. But it is it that stands at the forefront of the four major wealthy families. Because What it relies on is not those industries, but the Danjiang Newspaper Group, which has gradually become the climate."
Chen Ange thought for a moment and said, "Public opinion!"
Duan Xi: "Yes, the power of public opinion mouthpieces will become more and more significant in the future. Public opinion enlightens thoughts, guides ideological trends, and drives the collective consciousness of the whole society, which will form a huge force. This power will make any power group fight for I tremble because sometimes the pen is no less powerful than the gun."
Chen Ange nodded solemnly. She also knew that this was not just an economic topic.
Duan Xi smiled and said: "So, what do you have in your hands, my beautiful boss? If you don't have a foundation for your life, how can you become your own 'big tree'."
The last sentence struck Chen Ange hard in his heart.
Yes, if there is nothing that others can't live without, or something that is feared, then no matter how much money you earn, even if you earn as much as you did when the Qian family was at its peak, you still won't be able to keep the family fortune in the end.
But of course she also knows that the growth of any piece of absolute power will arouse the covetous interests of all parties. Before this fruit matures, she can only work hard to protect it from being grabbed by others.
"But these most critical areas have been divided up by them." Chen Ange said, "If you want to squeeze in again, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Duan Xi: "Yes, if you invest in the medical industry now, you won't have time to fight against the Kong family; if you buy land for farming, open a food factory, or a flour processing plant, you will definitely not be able to compete with the Shen family. These things require large investments and a long cycle.
What’s more, it’s a waste of funds, and it’s too unfriendly to late comers.”
"So?" Chen Ange's big eyes flickered.
In the past, the people I had come into contact with were all rough guys like Hong Kun, or at best so-called strategists like Li Ning who were lawyers. When everyone met together, they studied either how to swing their fists or how to find a smooth relationship. Communication like Duan Xi's is very difficult.
It's fresh, and she thinks it's more important.
Duan Xi: "So, I hope you can use radio stations to intervene in the news field."
Competing with Dong's Danjiang Newspaper Group for food!
Chen Ange was a little puzzled: "Hasn't it already been done? There is "Danjiang News Broadcast" at prime time after dinner every day, and it will be replayed the next morning."
Duan Xi shook his head: "That's all just reading from the manuscript."
The Information Office of the Department of Internal Affairs collects information from various departments, compiles it and submits it to the radio station for reading, and that's it. The only tidbits about people's livelihood are collected by the Information Office from everywhere.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"You can interview and compile news columns yourself and build an effective news gathering and editing team."
In this era of Kunlun World, although the power of news has gradually emerged, it has still not been raised to the height it should have. Both the big alliances above and the autonomous government affairs offices of each city regard it as a simple publisher.
Although it has now been taken seriously, for example, the Danjiang Newspaper Group controlled by Dong has been forced to accept the supervision and management of the Government Affairs Department, in fact the newspaper group still has great autonomy.
As for emerging radio stations, their status in the news field is even lower. Because the penetration rate of radio is not that high, the number of listeners is not as large as the number of newspaper readers.
In addition, theoretically speaking, if you open a newspaper in Danjiang, as long as readers are interested, they can subscribe by mail to all corners of the world. However, radio stations, especially local radio stations in small cities, are limited in coverage, and there is a high probability that they will be in the next city.
Not receive.
Where does influence start?
But Duan Xi knows that with the development of the times, these problems will be solved. And as an emerging media, radio will have greater impact and influence, and the speed of broadcast will be more timely.
And here in Danjiang, the only radio station is already in the hands of Chen Ange and Duan Xi!
Chen Ange was very excited, but quickly calmed down: "Other forces will be jealous, but the Dong family will be more protective of food, right?"
Duan Xi smiled and said: "So we need to take it slow and don't irritate other interest groups in the early stage. Let's do some simple small programs first, starting from the things around the people, and let the news column become famous first.
."
His steady approach made Chen Ange feel very reassured. His sense of control was as if he had foreseen everything in the future. She rarely saw such confidence in anyone's eyes.
That's because Duan Xi has really seen the future of these things, that's all.
"What does this guy have in his head?" Chen Ange glanced at Duan Xi secretly, and at the same time, he suddenly felt that his future path became clearer.
