In the morning, Rider (the old tailor's son-in-law, head of the clothing factory) had just arrived at his office. As soon as he hung up his hat and sat down, someone knocked on the door.
The clothing factory was doing well now.
On one hand, the Lance family needed a large quantity of new work clothing which would be given to the clothing factory at normal prices; this was considered independent operation.
The Lance family wanted to go further, and they couldn't maintain all their business through illegal means—that wouldn't get them very far.
Moreover, as society began to stabilize, a tide against organized crime would gradually emerge. People's attitude towards gangs would shift from habituation and acceptance to disgust and disdain.
This was a trend, an unchangeable trend, so setting up some legal industries in advance would make it more convenient to transform later on.
Lance had a far-sighted vision, or rather, he had a very clear understanding of the future!
