If you ask about the most profitable industry in the world, it is undoubtedly the underworld industry.
Loan sharking, casinos, drugs, smuggling, etc., as long as there is someone to back it up and there are enough channels, it can be said to be a huge profit.
However, the most profitable company in the world is definitely not a mafia industry, but a formal financial group. The reason is very simple. The mafia is always entrenched in an area, maybe a city, a province, or even a country, but no matter what
It is impossible to spread to every corner of the world like some large consortiums.
Although many financial groups have some kind of relationship with the underworld, the formal financial industry is always the main theme, and the underworld's role is more to protect.
Among all kinds of companies, the most profitable ones in the world today are military industry, communications, computers, automobiles, and oil and gas.
Money and silver are accumulated slowly, right?
Now that Yunjianmen has been forced to retreat, there is no longer any resistance from the underworld, but the territory of the Iron Flag Gang is only such a small area after all. It will take time to control a larger area, or at least the strength of the subordinates must be developed.
Can't a few bosses attack the country with machetes?
Besides, if you don't have strong enough men under your command, it will cause problems if you occupy the territory. Then you don't have to do anything, just run around every day.
So in addition to running the underworld, the 150 billion US dollars in hand must be used to generate more money.
Xia Lei felt chills in his heart when he thought about the speed at which his future wife would spend money. With the speed at which a little girl spends money, it seems that 150 billion US dollars is nothing.
During this time, Xia Lei has been thinking about investment issues, reading books of this type all day long, even reading this type of books in class.
"Xia Lei, come shopping with me after school." The little beauty at the same table said through the voice.
"Ask Liu Quan to ask someone to accompany you. I'm thinking about how to make money. Otherwise, how can I have money to go shopping?"
Xia Lei was divided into two things. While responding, he quickly flipped through the "Introduction to Global Finance" in his hand. He thought: Shopping is something that can be ignored. Shopping with a woman shouldn't be a pleasant thing. Otherwise, why would Liu Liu every time
After Quan and Sandy went shopping, they both looked like a dead mother?
The little girl was also multitasking. She memorized everything the teacher said and was able to chat with Xia Lei. Her tone was full of arrogance: "If you don't accompany me, I will cry for you!"
Sudden!
There was a vibration from the phone in his pocket. Xia Lei quietly took it out and saw that it was Liu Quan calling.
This guy, I told him a long time ago not to call when he is at school, unless there is something particularly important. What's the point of singing and dancing now?
Zhen Yuan moved slightly to form a transparent soundproof air cover. After putting on the Bluetooth headset, he pressed the answer button: "Hey, didn't I tell you not to make phone calls during class? If you have anything to say, please tell me."
"Hey...that's a good thing. Which of the two things do you want to hear first?" Liu Quan's tone was full of excitement.
"I want to listen to both of them together. Do you have two mouths?"
"Yes! I didn't say anything."
Liu Quan choked half to death at his words, and his excitement immediately disappeared, and he said: "The first thing is, after these half a month of hard work, all the underworld forces in Qingfeng City, except Shueisha, have been defeated by our Iron Banner Gang.
Got it. Old Su was afraid that it would be inconvenient for us to manage, so he simply dissolved Shueisha and introduced all his clients to me, which means that there is only one underworld force in Aomine City now."
This incident was completely expected. With Liu Quan's strength, if he still couldn't unify the underworld in Qingfeng City, he might as well hit the wall cleanly. Even Su Hongyuan's behavior was normal.
Xia Lei's goal is to expand the underworld's power outwards with Qingfeng City as the center.
So, the first step is to completely unify Aomine City. If Shueisha still exists, this is equivalent to the first step not being completed. He, Su Hongyuan, is also a cultivator now. He has been in the underworld for half his life, and doesn't he just want to be a shining lintel?
If he becomes a cultivator, will he still care about this thing?
Instead of wasting time on the underworld, it is better to concentrate on cultivation. No matter how powerful the underworld forces are, they are nothing more than a group of ants to cultivators.
He always wanted to give Shueisha to Xia Lei to manage, but the other party refused to accept it no matter what he said, so he simply disbanded it to make it easier.
"Oh, that's good. Fatty Jin has also taken care of Linlang County."
Xia Lei changed the topic and said lightly: "But that's it for the time being. We don't have the manpower to manage a large area. Having more territory is not a good thing. By the way, what is the other thing?"
As if anticipating his reaction, Liu Quan chuckled and said: "This second item is the most important. The people you asked me to find are already ready, and there are also those sent by Fatty Jin. There are only less than two in total.
Hundreds of people, but they are all guys without fathers, mothers, and no worries. After this period of 'education' and testing, there is absolutely no problem with loyalty!"
"good!"
This news surprised Xia Lei. He could finally form a powerful force of his own. He praised Liu Quan a lot and then turned off the phone.
Open the soundproof air hood and tell Sandy, Li Gang and the bitch about this, and you will naturally have an excuse not to go shopping with the little girl.
Soon, the school bell rang at noon.
Feng Jue, who was known as the 'god of sleep' in Class 5 of Senior High School, rubbed his eyes and woke up. He chased Feng Ling who walked a few meters away and waved to Xia Lei and the others. Of course, in others' eyes, he was sleeping.
In fact, this guy is just secretly cultivating spiritual power, and he has no intention of going to school.
Anyway, if someone gives a hint, the teacher will not care about him. No one who stays with Xia Lei and other students will dare to cause trouble.
There is a brand new Bugatti Veyron in the school parking lot. This thing is Feng Jue's car, and its value is even more than that of a Ferrari. As the four sports cars raised a faint cloud of smoke and dust, they carried seven people at extremely fast speeds.
Speeding away into the distance, the students who have long been accustomed to this kind of scene can't help but look envious to death.
After all, they are just a few high school students, but they drive cars that most people will never own in their lifetime.
More than twenty minutes later, the sports car parked in the parking lot of Iron Flag Group.
A core member of the gang immediately came over with a few younger brothers. While letting the younger brothers look at the sports car, they led the group straight to the third underground floor of the group building.
It was originally a large disco, but it closed down a few months ago and was renovated and turned into a training base for the Iron Flag Gang.
In a training ground of more than 2,000 square meters, nearly 200 people are undergoing physical training.
This was Xia Lei's first time here. He looked around for a while and couldn't help but nodded. He was obviously very satisfied with the environment here.
This group of kids, the youngest were sixteen or seventeen years old, and the oldest were no more than twenty-two years old. When they saw strangers appearing on the scene, they all stopped what they were doing and looked puzzled.
They were all brought here by Liu Quan through various channels. Once they entered here, they never went out, except for eating, drinking, and training. Seeing Liu Quan's powerful abilities and knowing that they also had the opportunity to become strong, they
Is there any reason not to be careful?
"What are you looking at when Mom is listed as B? Give me training!"
He grabbed a wooden stick and slapped the kid next to him on the buttocks. Liu Quan ran up to Xia Lei and said, "These are the little guys. What do you think?"
Just as Xia Lei was about to say something, his eyes suddenly turned to the entrance and saw two people walking in from the outside.
"Old man..." Sandy laughed and ran up, reaching out to grab Xue Gang's chin.
"Hey, no beard anymore."
Xue Gang smiled extremely proudly. After breaking through the golden elixir stage, he shaped his appearance into what he looked like when he was young. He looked about thirty years old, and his beard was shaved cleanly.
The little girl's eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she jumped up and grabbed his hair: "Should you shave your hair next time? Hehe..."
Someone's just pride disappeared, and Feng Li beside him patted Xiandi's head fondly: "Little junior sister, have you missed your senior brother since we haven't seen each other for so long?"
"Why do I miss you? You are not my boyfriend." Sandy rolled her eyes, smiled fiercely and couldn't speak anymore. This little ancestor is too disrespectful, right?
"Senior Brother Seven, Senior Brother Xue, why are you here?"
Xia Lei stepped forward with a smile, ignoring Xue Gang's pleading look, pointing at the more than a hundred people and smiling: "Just in time, help me see how these guys are doing, these are my first team members."
Feng Li grabbed him and said with a strange smile: "What's so good about a bunch of ant-like mortals? Guess what senior brother brought you? Well, there's Xue Gang as well, this gift is quite big."
Could it be...
As soon as his mind changed, Xia Lei had vaguely guessed something and looked at Xue Gang in disbelief.
The latter nodded and said with a strange smile: "In the few missions we carried out, more than 300 experts and warriors from Pangu Base died. Anyway, the world of cultivation doesn't care, does it? Besides, with the help of senior Xie Lingzi,
I was accepted into the Jiuyou Sect, and the news was sent back to the world of cultivation. The Xuanji Sect didn't even give a shit when they found out."
To blatantly pry into the corner is tantamount to robbing the Xuanji Sect of its power in the world. Only the Jiuyou Sect, which has grown in power, dares to do this.
Feng Li patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "It goes without saying that we here, Netherworld is our sect's force. After these few months of caring for my brother, we have selected a group of people with the most potential.
Well... there are about a thousand people, accounting for 60% of the total strength of Netherworld experts and warriors."
"What should we do with daily life without so many people?" Xia Lei asked the question that concerned him the most.
"So, in the future, we will be at a disadvantage in this regard. There is no other way. How can there be the best of both worlds?"
Having said this, Feng Li lightly snapped his fingers, and a green light flew out from his fingertips and escaped along the door at an incredible speed.
Two minutes later.
Groups of people walked into the basement one after another. After all, the Iron Flag Building was in a downtown area. Too many people would inevitably cause riots. However, this still made Liu Quan helplessly smile. There were also many confidants guarding the underground training ground.
, but it can’t stop these people at all.
After a while, about 1,500 people gathered at the scene. In terms of number alone, it already exceeded the number of people from the average sect in the world of cultivation.
Today, when the spiritual energy is thin and the cultivation physique is decreasing day by day, even a big sect like Jiuyou Sect only has three to five thousand disciples. Eighty percent of them are rookies below the Golden Core stage. If the Golden Core stage is counted as entering cultivation
As a measure of the world, before possessing spiritual power cultivation methods, the Jiuyou Sect could only have a thousand disciples at most who had reached the golden elixir stage.
