At this time, Di Mingzhe, with a serious expression, said, "Xiaojin, the situation is a bit unstable lately. We need to keep a low profile with our business activities and refrain from attracting unnecessary attention."
Nangong Jin was taken aback and his face turned serious momentarily. He didn’t ask for the reason and simply responded, "Okay. I understand."
"So, are D Country and E Country going to war?" Di Mingjue suddenly turned to Di Mingzhe and asked.
"I don’t think so." Di Mingzhe adjusted his tie, looking cool and composed, "It’s just that the international community may use this opportunity to strike at the largest arms dealer, so it’s advisable to keep a low profile."
Nangong Jin raised an eyebrow and whistled playfully, "Then I’ll let those smaller arms dealers take the fall."
"That’s exactly what I meant." Di Mingzhe nodded, "I wanted to discuss this with you today, and it’s quite unexpected to run into you here."
Nangong Jin raised his lips, laughing audaciously and putting his arm around Di Mingzhe, "That’s why I always knew it was a wise decision to have you as a partner."
Di Mingzhe just chuckled without responding.
Di Mingjue couldn’t help but shake his head, musing about the corruption and opacity of politics.
Yes, Di Mingzhe and Nangong Jin were partners. Specifically, Di Mingzhe was the man who controlled the entire Empire’s arms... smuggling.
Even though Nangong Jin held sixty percent of the shares and Di Mingzhe only forty, Di Mingzhe was the one making decisions.
He was responsible for steering the direction of this business. After all, his influence in this arena was undeniable.
So, it’s understandable.
Hence, Di Mingzhe wasn’t poor at all. In fact, he might even be richer than Di Mingjue!
This is quite normal, actually. It can’t be said he is corrupt, nor can it be said he is not clean.
Any illegal business, be it smuggling or drug trafficking, would thrive in any country, any corner of the world.
It’s not that the government isn’t trying hard enough to combat it, but under the allure of huge profits, there will always be desperados who would break the law.
Some things you simply cannot eradicate completely, and so it might be better to control them.
