Speaking of Najalil, one had to talk about Akumali.
"I didn't expect him to be our employee in the past!"
After ending the slightly heavy topic, Neil talked about Akumali, who was now famous all over the world.
"If I had known that he could become such a great person, I would have talked to him more. Maybe in the future, when people talk about him, they will talk about me."
This matter did make Neil a little excited. Akumali had also helped him in his work. At least the awareness of "improving people's lives through labor" had begun to spread widely with Akumali's idea of "loving life".
People no longer felt that "working for a foreigner" was a betrayal of their nation and country. Everyone thought that working for a foreigner was an honor, and they were proud to be able to get paid.
The speed of social transformation in Najalil was beyond people's imagination, and Akumali had a lot to do with it.
Neil said with a smile, "I heard that the Federation government is going to give Akumali an award."
"World Peace Contribution Award."
Lynch nodded. Not many people knew about this because it had not been completely confirmed. The country was not a place for publicity, so there was no news leaked out.
There was already some public opinion in Najalil that the Federation would thank him for his outstanding contribution to promoting the world peace process and maintaining world peace.
Giving him an award was also a matter of course. This would also allow more Najalil to see where the "future" was.
Lynch responded casually. He did not say anything that would make Neil sad.
In fact, Akumali's development was beyond people's imagination. Or it could be said that Najalil society had undergone a series of changes in evolution and reform. In the process of this change, people's spirits were always in a state of confusion.
They needed a kind of thought, a kind of spirit that would allow them to move forward without losing their direction in the fog.
Akumali was such a person. He could guide the way for everyone. He was like a lighthouse, a star that pointed the way.
The greater his influence, the closer one would be to death if they left him.
The Federation giving him an award was already a statement. Akemili was actually very dangerous, but he didn't know it.
The Federation government had used all kinds of shameless means to finally tear apart the ruling class of Nagalil, making it impossible for them to form a unified situation. Akumali was unexpectedly developing in this direction.
His influence and appeal had exceeded the expectations of the Federation government. If he continued on his path, it was very likely that a new religious structure similar to a 'party' would be formed with him as the core.
The Nagalil people would achieve true unity in another form, and it would be unity in thought, will, and spirit. This was absolutely not allowed.
He could spread his non-violent and non-rebellious ideology, but he absolutely could not gather people!
If he didn't realize this, his path would only get shorter and shorter.
It had been a long time since he had chatted with Lynch. Neil was in high spirits. Perhaps it was because he was doing a good job now. He was able to maintain the dignity of a "father" in front of Lynch.
The two chatted for more than half an hour before Neil got up and left. He had to go back to take care of his three wives.
When he left, Neil sat in the car and seriously thought about the issues that Lynch had mentioned.
For the first time, he began to try to think about what Lynch had said from a different perspective. He was no longer like before, rejecting it immediately. Instead, he was really thinking about the possibility of doing so.
Provincial Governor?
Councilor?
Neil, who was sitting in the car, smiled and looked at the lively street outside the car. No one knew what he was thinking.
On the other side, because someone had surrendered, the armed police of Nagalil soon found the bodies of the other girls and arrested all the participants of the party.
Almost all of these people were from the ruling class. Surprisingly, there was also a Federation person among them.
Because the nature of the case was very special, the whole case was transferred to the Royal Capital for investigation and trial.
At this time, the joint development company also held a conference call. All shareholders had to attend. If someone didn't have time, they had to send someone to attend.
"I'm sure you've all seen the recent news. Some of us are secretly doing some small things …"
Mr. Geronimo's voice was still so cold. In his voice, other than the standard inflection, there was nothing emotional. He was like a robot without body temperature, making people feel a little uneasy.
"Maybe a lot of people don't know what happened. In fact, we don't know either. Until a few days ago, that Federation person was caught."
"There are thieves who are stealing our wealth. This is intolerable. I don't want this to involve our shareholders, and I don't want it to be someone I know."
"If you are here, it's best to tell me now and give me a hint. That way, at least it won't be too ugly in the future."
There was no sound coming from the other end of the phone. Mr. Geronimo's voice softened a little. "It seems like that person is not among us. That's good news. I don't want to be rough with my allies. That's not my style."
"Maybe you don't know what happened. Let me explain it briefly …"
Unbeknownst to everyone, there were some federal businessmen who took the route of the upper echelons. These people contacted the rulers and helped them transfer their assets. They helped them get some contraband goods that were not permitted on the customs list. This practice seriously harmed the interests of the joint development company.
Mr. Geronimo was very angry. He could allow the company to lose money, but he wouldn't allow anyone to challenge the rules that everyone had set together.
This was very important. The existence of rules didn't only protect others, they could also protect themselves. However, if someone didn't take care of the rules, then more people would take the risk and try to break the rules.
Not to mention, these people were really stealing money. They were smuggling the wealth that the rulers had accumulated bit by bit. This money should have belonged to the joint development company!
What, you said it belonged to the natives?
When the natives died, they would be ownerless. They would belong to whoever found them first!
No one could find the natives faster than the executioner when he bent down to chop off their heads.
After Mr. Geronimo finished speaking, the quarterly meeting began a month in advance.
The senior management of the joint development company began to report to the shareholders about the company's operation this month, as well as the dividends that everyone could get.
The operation of the joint development company was very unique. It was more like a "buyout system". The development of the entire Najaril was handed over to the joint development company. Then, some major shareholders paid a certain fee to buy out the full development rights of an area.
This part of the shareholders who held the development rights in their hands naturally made more money. What about the remaining small shareholders?
In addition to being able to distribute the buyout money paid by the major shareholders, they could also engage in trading activities in various areas according to the shares they held in their hands.
For example, Dragon's eldest son used Dragon's shares in the joint development company to trade some specialties in Lynch's territory, such as gold, gems, leather, spices and so on.
Perhaps the trade volume wasn't very large, but it was definitely profitable. Not to mention, he transported the goods from the Federation to the local area. The expanding consumer market gave people more surprises.
To some extent, the spending power of the Najaril people was several times more than that of the Federation.
They could spend all the money they earned, excluding the necessary expenses for their daily necessities, on consumption. This was something that the people of the Federation could not do!
As long as the market here became more and more prosperous, the locals would earn more and more money, and their spending power would explode exponentially.
Except for those who had shares in their hands who could engage in free trade here, others had to apply to the joint development company and get approval before they could engage in trading activities.
There were regulations on what kind of business they could do and how much they could do.
Now, someone was secretly trading without them. In fact, the company had been prepared for this from the beginning, but when it came out, it was still unexpected.
Because not only did the other party not do business secretly, but they also did business among the ruling class. This was simply a provocation to the order of the joint development company.
In the report, all the shareholders listened very carefully because it was related to how much money they could get in the second quarter. This was not a small matter.
Since there was no local organization collecting taxes in Najaril, to some extent, all foreign trade was tax-free. They could earn as much as they wanted, and there was no tax to skin them alive.
Coupled with some of the Federation's discount policies, everyone was very concerned about their own business.
In the end, Mr. Geruno reiterated his point again.
"If that person is among us, it's okay if you don't want to stand up now. You can call me later and explain why you did this, and I'll forgive you."
"This is the last chance. I also hope that none of us will do such a stupid thing …"
At the same time as the conference call began, the capital of Najaril was also experiencing the largest demonstration in the history of Najaril.
People were angry, but they did not lose their minds. They spoke loudly, but in fact, the police officers could not hear them at all.
It was not literally "inaudible", but it was too noisy. It was impossible to distinguish who was talking.
Looking at the dense crowd, every police officer in the armed police department felt a little numb. If there was an accident, they would be torn to pieces by the people outside.
