Naming Technique of the Night

"Boss, the Pigeon Loft is almost under control. Zhang Mengchan mentioned that there might be some people who want to organize armed resistance, but rest assured, I won't let any trouble arise," Luo Wanya softly assured. "By the way, Boss, should we continue to expand?"

Qing Chen hummed, "Once the Pigeon Loft is stabilized, continue expanding outward. Lao Luo, do you know why I want you to manage properties and do good deeds for those owners for free?"

"I know it's to address the financial chain of the Parents' Meeting!" Luo Wanya replied.

This time, however, Qing Chen shook his head, "To revitalize the entire Ninth District, you'll have to face dozens of gangs within it. As you expand halfway, others will unite to attack you. When you fully take over the Ninth District, the largest Dragon Pattern Gang in City 22 will also come looking for trouble."

"Boss, we're not afraid!" Luo Wanya assured determinedly, "I have backup plans. Although there will be sacrifices, we're not afraid of them."

Qing Chen smiled, "I'm aware that you've thought things through, and I know that a victory without blood and sacrifice is a false victory. But I want you to make the Pigeon Loft a model example so that other building residents will envy it. Once you make them understand that the art gang is truly doing good deeds for everyone, your subsequent actions will yield twice the result with half the effort. All these gangs have almost forgotten how useful and frightening public opinion can be."

Luo Wanya was taken aback, "I understand now. If everyone envies the Pigeon Loft, then everyone will want to live in such a house and help us. Boss, I understand what you mean."

Qing Chen asked again, "So Lao Luo, do you know why I want to take over this Ninth District?"

Luo Wanya thought for a moment, "Because the huge cash flow can support organizational development."

Qing Chen smiled again, "The reason I'm doing this is because of the foreseeable future. It's not just about money. That's why I set up convenience hotlines and small street offices."

Luo Wanya was a bit stunned. Besides money, what other benefits were there?

Qing Chen explained, "In every city's lower three districts, they're almost lawless zones, where Federation officials have become accustomed to gangs managing the slums. They believe nothing major will ever happen there, at most a few hundred poor people dying, so they don't even bother to look. This is a tradition that has accumulated over hundreds of years; people's thinking won't change."

"Thus, this gives us a gap to survive," Qing Chen glanced at Luo Wanya, "A financial chain is indeed important, but more crucial is the enlightenment of proletarian thoughts in that 50% of the Federation's population, which can in turn encircle the Upper Sixth District."

Qing Chen continued, "A person living in a bug or mouse-infested hole will feel hopeless, thinking that life is like this, so what else can be done? But once they move into a clean and tidy home, they'll want to reclaim their dignity. This is a subconscious influence."

Qing Chen asked further, "Do you know what will happen if you can spread this new property company across the Federation?"

Luo Wanya was stunned, saying truthfully, he hadn't expected Qing Chen's target to be even bigger than he thought, "Boss, tell me."

Qing Chen said, "When your influence spreads across the Federation, then the all-pervasive surveillance in the lower three districts will form a net. At that time, whenever anything happens, people won't seek out detectives, but will look for you. The people there will form a joint defense system for you, becoming the most powerful intelligence network, as most people flee to lawless zones when they commit crimes."

Qing Chen continued, "They will trust you, and you will naturally take over there on behalf of the Federation. Of course, it's only a small part of the power, but it's enough."

Luo Wanya was silent for a long moment, finally understanding what the boss intended to do. The boss wanted to build a covert system right under the consortium's nose, in the places the consortium discarded like trash!

A vast enough intelligence network!

And the hearts and minds of nearly half the Federation's citizens!

While Yang Yang and the others hoped for change from within the Federation's system,

Qing Chen from the start was laying the foundation for a bigger goal.

Qing Chen stood up, "Lao Luo, this must be done quickly. Once the pilot in City 22 succeeds, roll it out to other places as soon as possible. The consortium is too large, so their reaction will be slower, but not too slow. We must complete all this before they react, racing against time... hoping for success."

Luo Wanya felt a rush of excitement inside, "I guarantee the task will be completed!"

This man who roamed the world suddenly recalled what Qing Chen had told him the last time he left the White Villa, "The Parents' Meeting must remain clean because one day I will bring you all to plant our flag all over the North."

"Hmm, I've reached my stop. You head back and keep an eye on things," Qing Chen said.

Luo Wanya stood up, "Whatever you're doing, I'll go with you. I can help out if needed."

"No, no, no need," Qing Chen quickly declined, then got out of the car and ran off.

I can't let Lao Luo know about him accompanying his friends to drink at the Black Swan Restaurant, or the image he'd just built would collapse.

Qing Chen pondered whether the social elements accumulating around him were getting too numerous, and there might be a problem someday...
