Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1861 1862: Supreme Commander

Ling Zhenfei noticed that Lu Huanong's expression improved after drinking, and was in a very good mood.

The meal was almost finished, Lu Huanong was tidying up, while Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian were talking.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I called you before, now there are too many people smuggling in Moergawa, the security is bad too. I noticed it on my way here today, things can't go on like this."

Chen Qian asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "No matter what, I can't let them ruin my territory here."

Chen Qian said, "To completely solve this problem would require a lot of manpower and resources. Currently, the police force on Feixue Island is small and can't accomplish much."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Actually, it's not that complicated. If they're taking salaries, they better do their jobs; if not, why should I support them?"

Chen Qian laughed, "What trick do you have up your sleeve this time?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "This is not a trick. I want to use mutual restraint to make these people manage their own people."

Chen Qian said, "Tell me more, and I'll help you analyze it."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Divide the police into regions. If something goes wrong in one area, they're responsible. If they can't handle it, swap them out.

No matter who it is, gangster, pirate, or cultivator, as long as they can maintain order in the area, I'll make them the highest official there."

Chen Qian said, "Your idea is quite interesting, but who knows what will happen when you try it out for real?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "I have no choice. If I had money, I'd recruit some police and arm them to tackle those punks; wouldn't be so complicated."

Chen Qian said, "I'm just afraid that this will lead to small-scale gangs, and intense conflicts might arise between neighboring gangs."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Conflicts are great! As long as there are conflicts, I have a reason to sort them out. What I want is security. If they give me trouble, who else would I deal with?"

Chen Qian chuckled, "You need your own team to manage them too. I think you should find a way to develop your own team so that the security can truly improve.

What you proposed is just a temporary solution, not a long-term plan."

Ling Zhenfei knew Chen Qian was quick-witted, always thinking about long-term strategies.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Okay, here's the situation. In the next few days, an Island Nation consortium will come here to inspect, considering setting up a large fish processing plant.

Help me analyze how we might keep them interested. Frankly, they really look down on us."

Chen Qian said, "It's normal for them to look down on this place; Moergawa truly fits the saying, 'a poor backwater.' Who would want to invest here?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "But the labor is cheap here. Most are fishermen, very familiar with fish products."

Chen Qian laughed, "There are indeed advantages. Do you know why the Islanders consider investing nearby?"

"Tell me," said Ling Zhenfei, who's really puzzled. Why must a fish processing plant be set up in another country? Why doesn't Kudo Nanting set up in their own nation?"

Chen Qian said, "You know the Islanders love eating fish, especially a type called Bluefin Tuna. You know this, right?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course, I know. Bluefin Tuna tastes good, everyone loves it, though it's a bit pricey."

Chen Qian said, "Exactly, Bluefin Tuna. Long ago, it wasn't expensive; the sea was full of it, but Islanders loved eating it so much that now it's becoming scarce."

Ling Zhenfei was shocked, "Everyone says we're food lovers, but apparently the Island Nation isn't far behind."

Chen Qian said, "True, around the Island Nation, Bluefin Tuna is rare now, hard to catch. Yet, around Moergawa, Bluefin Tuna numbers are still okay, and other sea products are abundant.

The processing of Bluefin Tuna is rather intricate. To ensure freshness, they must be processed near the catch site, which explains the nearby factory setup.

Islanders are particular about freshness, so setting up near this area is understandable."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Now, it's much easier since we have some advantages."

Chen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Currently, a large port is being built on Feixue Island, which could accommodate large fishing vessels, another advantage.

Also, setting up a factory here would grant fishing rights in our surrounding waters, coupled with cheap labor, indeed advantageous."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Plus, I have some connections with the head of Kudo Corporation, so things should go smoothly."

Lu Huanong spoke up, "The boss of Kudo Corporation is a woman, right?"

Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian were stunned, looking at Lu Huanong in surprise during their meal, "Did you figure this out?"

Lu Huanong said, "Just guessed."

Ling Zhenfei knew he must be cautious speaking around Lu Huanong, who might expose him if he says something wrong.

To relieve the awkwardness, Chen Qian said to Ling Zhenfei, "Zhenfei, you must do something about the security issues."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Don't worry, I know. I'll take action soon."

After the meal, Chen Qian went to oversee operations, while Ling Zhenfei had things to attend to.

Ling Zhenfei took a cab to his castle, which served not only as a residence but also as the administrative center of Feixue Island.

Currently, Mao Aru was stationed there.

Ling Zhenfei should feel secure, as Mao Aru used to be an Emperor. Running an entire nation, now just managing an island should be very simple.

However, Ling Zhenfei found Mao Aru's management baffling, perhaps due to a habit of laxity; as long as nothing major happens on Feixue Island, Mao Aru wouldn't intervene.

After returning, Ling Zhenfei immediately saw Mao Aru, who was sitting in a chair reading, putting the book aside upon seeing Ling Zhenfei.

"Zhenfei, you're back. Didn't Xue Jing come back with you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Xue Jing has some official business. I've got something to discuss with you."

Mao Aru asked, "What's the matter?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Feixue Island is developing rapidly, and we shouldn't stay stuck in the past. I want to properly manage the island's security."

Mao Aru said, "Okay."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "Who is in charge of our current functional departments?"

Mao Aru said, "Now, the director of the Public Security Bureau is Wei Changming."

Ling Zhenfei asked, "This Wei Changming, is he trustworthy?"

Mao Aru said, "I brought Wei Changming here. He's been with me for many years, a good kid."
