The next day, Libu slept until noon and when he opened his eyes he saw Irene with red hair.
Leading four people to exercise at the same time...it is indeed a bit tiring.
In addition, he was very tired from running for parliament recently, and even Ribs's [Physical Fitness] skill was a little exhausted... I didn't expect that he could sleep for so long!
Irene seemed to have regained her strong woman form and said to Reeves calmly, "The election results are out, and many people are waiting to see you! I saw you were exhausted last night, so I didn't wake you up..."
"Um."
Ribs agreed, got up and turned on his phone to check the news.
Two hours ago, the Chicago Board of Elections announced the results of this council election.
With a commanding 69% majority, Reebs became one of Chicago's seven council members for a four-year term.
This is also the first time in nearly 20 years that an independent in Chicago has successfully run for council by defeating both the Republican and Democratic parties.
There were already quite a few missed calls on Libus's phone. He took a quick look and found that they were all calls from the Black Rabbit Gang. There were also some unfamiliar calls, which must have been calling to congratulate him!
After being elected, one is usually sworn in at the first city council meeting. Before that, Reebs needs to study various documents and the city council's charter, and also hand over his work.
But these are just formalities. It doesn’t matter whether you go or not, or you can find someone to do it for you.
Reebs didn't become a councilman to work at City Hall.
The next step is naturally to use the City Council as a base to further develop his own power and gradually move towards the pinnacle of power in Chicago.
As for the Chicago gangs, they must be cracked down on, and they must be cracked down on resolutely!
How could I, Reeves, allow others to run wild? From now on, there will only be the Black Rabbit Gang in Chicago...
Um... no, we can’t call it the Black Rabbit Gang anymore!
Reeves is about to take office as a member of parliament. He has finally managed to clear his gangster identity, and the Black Rabbit Gang must also be whitewashed, or at least change its name!
At night, on the top floor of the Black Rabbit Casino.
In the gorgeous banquet hall, the rectangular tables were filled with exquisite tableware.
All of Ribbs' men are present.
Now, each of his men is capable of standing on their own.
Ao Guan Hai is known as the boss of Chicago's South Side - Kenwood and Inglewood together account for most of Chicago's South Side.
The Butcher was known as the Lame Boss, and his Black Rabbit Casino was well-known in Chicago. Despite his ruthless tactics, no one dared to cause trouble at the Black Rabbit Casino, and the casino remained very safe.
Frank manages the charitable foundation and has returned to the Chicago business community. Rumor has it that he wants to hold the yacht party again.
Callahan, who had just joined the gang, was in charge of the garbage recycling business taken over by the Black Rabbit Gang, and he was doing a good job.
Heisenberg stayed behind the scenes, providing technical support to everyone.
As for Fox, he specializes in doing illegal work as a gang member and is also responsible for protecting various gang transactions.
Ribs, dressed in a suit, sat at the center of the table, flanked by Ao Guanhai and the Butcher. The rest of the group lined up in order. At the back sat a number of other members, some of whom Ribs couldn't even name.
With the sound of champagne being opened, the party officially began.
Under the golden crystal chandelier of the Black Rabbit Casino, the butcher leaned on his crutch, raised his glass and shouted, "Guys! Raise your glasses! First, let's toast to our big brother, Councillor Ribs!"
"Congratulations, big brother, for being elected as a member of parliament!" Ao Guanhai and dozens of his men immediately cheered, and the sound of the clinking glasses shook the casino chandeliers.
Looking at the guys present, Reeves was very excited. He drank a glass with everyone first.
Then he raised his hand to suppress the noise and slowly said, "Guys, first of all, thank you all for following me for so long! I'd like to take this opportunity to make an announcement! Our Black Rabbit Gang is about to reach a new level!"
Everyone's eyes were on Ribs.
"If the Black Rabbit Gang wants to grow, we can't keep carrying the reputation of a gang! Everyone saw during my campaign that carrying the gang's identity restricts everything we do."
Ribs glanced at everyone present, and everyone nodded in approval.
He continued, "So I've decided that from now on, our Black Rabbit Gang will officially register as the Black Rabbit Security Company. What do you think?"
The banquet hall fell into a brief silence. The butcher's wine glass was suspended in the air, and Fox's cigar was almost dropped.
"Security company?" Fox was the first to break the silence. "Boss, what about our business? We have a lot of white powder business now, and we have to collect protection fees and manage those female service workers..."
"None of this matters!" Liebs said with a smile. "Think about it! We're a security company, so why worry about not being able to collect protection fees? We can outsource the white powder business, and we'll still make a profit! As for the women's service industry, forget it. There's not much money in that business! I don't even care about it."
Fox nodded as if he understood, and Ao Guanhai now completely understood Ribs's idea.
No matter how big the illegal gang business is, it can only make money secretly.
But it’s different if you set up a security company. Security companies in the United States can legally carry guns!
Some large private security companies are as powerful as private armies.
Combined with the local situation in Chicago, the city government has been cutting the police department's budget.
Doesn’t this just leave a large blank market for private security companies?
Not only do many wealthy people need private security, sometimes even the government has to outsource part of the security work, which is a huge security fee.
And Ribbs can use his position as a member of parliament to easily obtain the government's security contract. This is an iron chain: one link after another.
"Boss, I agree!" Ao Guanhai immediately raised his hand and said, "Boss, I really admire your vision! Your strategic vision and perspective are beyond the reach of the rest of us, even if we rack our brains!"
When the others heard Ao Guanhai say this, although they didn't understand, they all raised their hands to show their agreement.
"Okay! Then I'll leave the establishment of the security company to you, Guanhai!" Libus said, "I'll take care of the company license. Please select a group of capable people as soon as possible!"
"Okay, no problem! Leave it to me." Ao Guanhai guaranteed on the spot and picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
Although Ribbs already had a clear idea of the future development, at this time, he still had to show his democratic image.
"Good! Very good!" Reeves said to the crowd, "Since everyone is here today, please speak freely! If you have any opinions or suggestions for our future development, please bring them forward! Let's discuss it together!"
