Chapter 252: Notting City
In the space of more than a month, Xia Feng went from being a stowaway who first arrived in Victoria like a headless fly to being a one-man presence in Harpy City.
Now, he's leaving his original battlefield.
Ten black cars drove from the western part of Harpy City to Xiaowai, speeding along the road in the wilderness, and their destination was Notting City, the headquarters of the Frido Chamber of Commerce.
..............
Notting City, one of the 14 largest cities in the Kingdom of Victoria, is located in the southern hinterland with a total population of over 3 million.
Notting City is very well connected, with dozens of roads running through the city from all directions, turning this well-developed metropolis into a trading hub.
In Notting, you can see all the goods you can name in Victoria, as well as the rare goods imported from all over the world.
Looking at the top cities in southern Victoria, St. Di's is the most important port city, Yehua is a strategic border town, Gayer is the economic pillar of the south, and Nording is an important trade center that radiates half of the country's borders.
In addition to trade, there are also many private industries in Notting City, ranging from steel mills, mining industries, machinery and chemical industries and other heavy industries, to household appliances, household clothing, food and catering, etc.
The strength behind the fact that the Friedo Chamber of Commerce can be based in such a first-tier city can be imagined, including trade and transportation companies, and almost 70% of the industries in Notting City are related to the Friedo Chamber of Commerce.
Of course, Notting City is not only dominated by the Friedo Chamber of Commerce, although Friedo's power has stood tall over the years, but the gang must be a gangster, even if Friedo has tried his best to whitewash, but he can't completely control the economic system of a city, which the Victorian royal family does not want to see.
In addition to the Royal Guard, Notting City is also entrenched in three great nobles, as well as a city garrison of more than 20,000 people, and several major forces maintain a subtle tacit understanding and balance, drawing their own benefits from the city.
............
Along the way, Xia Feng kept staring at the scenery outside the car window in a daze.
This world, as expected, is very different from his original world, perhaps because of natural disasters, after leaving the city, the scenery on the road quickly becomes very desolate, except for the infinite stretch of the highway ahead, no trace of people can be detected.
This kind of scenery gives Xia Feng a feeling that every city is like a safe haven, without this big family, people will not be able to survive, or will lose the belief in survival, whether it is ordinary people or infected people, the concept of home is extremely profound.
"Xia Feng, what do you want?"
The south wind poked the summer breeze looking out the window in a daze.
Xia Feng withdrew his gaze.
"Nothing."
Nanfeng said generously.
"Haha, don't be nervous, we're going to be there soon, don't worry, I've got you covered."
Although they have only known each other for a day, Nanfeng undoubtedly regards him as a good brother, maybe this is the so-called heroic sympathy, just like the new classmates in the class, if you find out that he is a basketball master, you will be very excited to get together with the basketball lover.
Nanfeng's personality is very hearty, and he doesn't have too much ruthlessness and anger of gangsters in private, but he looks like a big boy next door.
The so-called gang members, one by one, think that they are the most ruthless characters, of course, people who can mix with a certain status are indeed ruthless, but in the eyes of Nanfeng, these so-called ruthless people are like wild dogs fighting in front of lions.
Naturally, seeing people like Xia Feng who don't talk much, don't have much arrogance, and are still very young peers, Nanfeng is like finding a golden partner, and he has subconsciously bound himself and Xia Feng into a tea in his heart
Mr. Friedo sat next to Xia Feng, he had been closing his eyes to recuperate, that deep appearance Xia Feng didn't dare to talk casually, he didn't know what kind of work Friedo would arrange for him, of course, he didn't think that he could take over a lot of business as soon as he came up, and he had lost the support of Black Feather, so he had to be cautious in all his actions.
Notting City is not too far from Harpy City, and in more than 2 hours, the black convoy drove into the downtown area of Notting City.
Looking at the surrounding street buildings, Xia Feng's heart emitted a burst of emotion.
Just the outer area of the city, its prosperity is comparable to that of the eastern side of Harpy City, Xia Feng has seen the map of Notting City before, the city has a total of seven urban districts, at least four times the size of Harpi City.
The headquarters of the Frido Chamber of Commerce is located in the main city of Notting, which is one of the most high-profile buildings in the city, except for the mayor's office.
This is a 16-storey building, covering a very large area, the overall shape resembles an irregular pyramid, and the top of the building is inlaid with several large characters, the Frido Chamber of Commerce.
It was a bit of a surprise that the headquarters of the gang was so blatantly located in a prime location, Richie was the boss of Harpy City, but his activities were limited to casinos and villas, and there was no real sense of headquarters, and his headquarters was just a barbecue restaurant.
The world of rich people is so casual, it seems that Mr. Friedo no longer sees himself as a gang boss, but as the chairman of a public company.
In fact, this also makes sense, the organization of Frydo originally regarded itself as a chamber of commerce, and it can be seen from this name that Frydo has plans to try his best to wash his name.
It is impossible for a far-sighted person like him not to understand a truth, there will be a time when a dynasty will fall, not to mention the existence of wandering on the edge of the country's bottom line, a country can have a famous chamber of commerce, but it is impossible to have a long-standing gangster.
In essence, although the Frydo Chamber of Commerce has many subordinates and huge power, it cannot be compared with an international armed organization like the Black Steel International, no matter how powerful the school bully is, it is only a school bully, if the principal wants to expel you, you still have no way to resist.
To put it bluntly, the Frydo Chamber of Commerce must be attached to the system of the Victorian state, and use all means to obtain benefits without touching the bottom line of the royal family.
No matter how strong the gang is, it can't compete with the army, even Xia Feng understands this truth, and Mr. Frydo naturally understands it.
..........
Headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce of Friedo.
The black motorcade stopped at the entrance of the building, and a crowd of people surrounded Mr. Friedo into the lobby on the first floor.
Walking to the elevator, Friedo said to the south wind behind him.
"There's nothing to do today, you take Xia Feng to get a brief familiarity with the business, he will follow you for the time being, and you will come to my office tomorrow morning to find me."
"Yes."
Nanfeng and Natsufeng stood in the lobby and watched respectfully as Mr. Frydo got into the elevator.
Seeing the south wind, the little sister at the front desk kept throwing flattering eyes at him, no way, this kid is really handsome, at this time, the band-aid on his face does not affect his appearance at all, but has a sense of rebellion and unruliness.
Xia Feng shook the bangs in front of his forehead, and he was happy to have hair now, otherwise it would be even more incomparable.
After Mr. Frydo left, Nanfeng patted Xia Feng on the shoulder.
"Let's go, I'll take you around the headquarters first."
"Oh."
Xia Feng didn't know anything about the business of Notting City, but his first concern at the moment was the things in front of him.
"Nanfeng, what are you usually responsible for?"
"Me? Kindness..... How to put it, I don't care about anything, but I also care about everything. ”
