When Dulin was sitting in the car, he was still thinking about some of the issues with the Chamber of Commerce that he had just discussed with Mags.
The Chamber of Commerce has too much power, including some of the problems discovered during Otis. Although Chapu has been silenced, there is not only one shareholder of Lucky Casino, there are other people who know the inside story.
In addition to those participants who used cash to participate in gambling during their stay in Otis City and were arrested in violation of the local laws of Otis City, the conspiracy planned by Chap is being revealed bit by bit, including Mr. Shang. Yes, and plays a less friendly role.
The Chamber of Commerce firmly controls most of the powers related to commerce within the empire. When the empire was defeated, in addition to losing its customs power, it also spent a lot of money in exchange for the withdrawal of the federal army. In addition, pensions must be paid to the families of a large number of fallen military personnel, and entire southern cities must be rebuilt.
It can be said that the new party has been on a hellish level of difficulty since it came to power.
In order to alleviate the financial pressure on the government, Maggs turned his attention to those capitalists and gave them a freer living space and many convenient conditions in exchange for them providing a large amount of funds to help the fading empire embark on a transformation. path and ushered in success.
In the process, these original capitalists established two terrorist organizations. One was the Imperial Central Bank, the largest economy in the empire, and the second was the Chamber of Commerce.
From the declaration of company creation, to the change of company operations, to the listing of the company, it all needs the approval and consent of the Chamber of Commerce. This is an unofficial organization, but it has official powers.
The Chamber of Commerce and the Imperial Central Bank work together to control the economic lifeline of the entire empire!
Maggs has always wanted to win over the Chamber of Commerce, but he can't do it. Just like he has always wanted to establish a central bank that truly belongs to the official empire, there is no possibility at all.
These two institutions are definitely not comparable to those consortiums. What is terrifying about them lies in their influence and control over the empire's financial economy.
In this prosperous capitalist society, almost more than 80% of successful people have close relationships with these two institutions. The Chamber of Commerce approved them to establish companies and start operations, and the Imperial Central Bank provided loans to allow them to have more Opportunities for development, coupled with the business circle of the Chamber of Commerce, it can be said that dealing with any of them means facing the backlash of the entire business community.
Even Mags doesn't dare to act rashly. No one can afford the serious consequences of reckless actions!
Dulin also hates these two organizations. He has been imagining... No, he is very sure that one day he will stabilize the empire's highest power seat, then he will inevitably face these two disgusting organizations. They need to be addressed.
The reason why it is inconvenient for Mags to take action is that every move of Mags will bring huge social influence and uncontrollable siding behavior. As long as he has such an idea and puts it into action, it will be a "total war" from top to bottom.
But Dulin is different. When he becomes the governor of Ambiluo State, no matter what he does, he will not let his actions become a movement that affects the entire empire, nor will it become a cruel political trend and strife.
People will not focus too much on him. At most, they will denounce Dulin's stupidity and naivety on some occasions, and then continue to live their current lives. As long as the cabinet does not express their position, they dare not make it too obvious. He attacked Du Lin, but Du Lin was able to continue to maintain his stupidity and naivety.
This is an opportunity, a rare opportunity.
He was thinking about these things and the conversation with Mags along the way, and the car came to a slow stop before he knew it. When he looked out the window, he realized that he had arrived at Oak Bay. After instructing the driver to pick him up tomorrow morning, Du Lin got out of the car.
He frowned slightly. There were many luxury cars parked outside the villa and garage, and there was a faint noise coming from the villa. He felt a little unspeakably unhappy.
Because he is not a person who likes liveliness. When people reach the age of forty or fifty, they will start to like silence, and they will become different from when they were young.
Young people like to be lively, eat sweets, and try new things, but when they get older, the opposite will happen.
Middle-aged people prefer a quieter environment, lighter tastes, and are not willing to try new things frequently. The ruthlessness of the years has made people at this age understand the reverence for life and the world, and also allowed them to understand the true value and meaning of survival.
The price for having everything is to lose that wild and young heart.
He looked to be in his twenties, but after having such a dream, it didn't matter that he was sixty years old.
He smiled and shook his head and walked towards the villa. When he opened the door and looked at the scenes in the villa, he didn't find it ugly or boring, but he definitely didn't like it either.
The air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol, and hormones were flying wildly.
On the ground, there were some drunken young people lying in the corner. There were figures in some dark places, and cheap and happy rhythms were rhythmically ringing in their ears.
What surprised Dulin even more was that he also saw Her Royal Highness the Princess and Ophelia. He couldn't imagine why these two girls were here.
As he observed what was happening in the hall, others also saw him, including the three girls and their classmates who were not completely drunk.
"Ah, it's Du Lin!" The first person to speak was naturally Her Highness the Princess. Her status was the most noble here, and because she was young, it was most appropriate for her to speak.
She stood up unsteadily, her face was a little red, and she had obviously drunk some wine. As she walked, she asked, "How did you know we were here?" Maybe it was because she was not good at drinking, even though she had only drank two. Cup, I am already a little tipsy.
His staggering steps stumbled as he was about to get close to Du Lin, and he lost his center of gravity and rushed towards Du Lin. At this moment, something terrible happened, and the princess's face disappeared!
Du Lin took a few steps forward and hugged the princess who was about to fall, and straightened her up. She let out a wine burp, and then laughed disgracefully, "I almost suffocated myself to death... By the way, how did you know we were here?" here?"
In fact, Her Royal Highness the Princess had a very good impression of Du Lin. The gift Du Lin gave her on her birthday may not have been the best, and it was something he had used himself, but what he said gave Her Royal Highness a feeling that she had never felt before. past feelings.
That was definitely not a cheap compliment, nor was it a boring flattery. He was like a great man standing in the darkness, lighting up the path of life and pointing the direction for her.
What Du Lin said was copied into a notebook by her, and the lighter was also treasured.
Ophelia Yongya sat on the sofa and looked at Du Lin with a smile, but Du Lin found that the girl's fists hidden under her arms were inexplicably clenched. Is it because of Her Royal Highness
Without thinking much, he helped Her Royal Highness the Princess to the edge of the sofa and asked her to sit down again. Then he smiled and said, "This is my house. Of course I may appear here.", and then he took a look. Melissa, who lowered her head.
Du Lin's sudden appearance made the atmosphere in the hall slightly solidified. Even the most powerful social master would not remain cheerful without any grudges and heartless when he discovered an intruder at such a relatively private party. Emotions.
His appearance made these children feel ashamed that their territory was invaded and their privacy was exposed. But as long as they didn't drink too much, they knew that the best choice at this time was to shut up, do nothing, and party. The organizer will control the situation.
Du Lin could certainly feel these subtle... no, already obvious changes. He did not interrupt the party rashly. After loosening his tie, he rubbed his neck and said, "I came to the Imperial Capital to do some things. "Just rest here at night, don't worry about me, I'm going up." He patted Melissa on the shoulder, then looked at Ophelia with a smile, and reminded her to take good care of the princess. His Highness, then greeted several young people in the living room and went upstairs.
Du Lin's departure made the atmosphere in the hall relax a lot, but it still couldn't be compared with before. Whether it was Du Lin's identity in this place, specifically his identity as the owner of the house, or his identity in society, it was still incomparable. It was enough to shock and suppress the children with quite a background in the room.
About twenty minutes after Du Lin left, people started to say goodbye. The children who didn't know what happened were also told what happened, and soon the villa became empty.
In addition to the three girls, there were also some of Melissa's besties down there cleaning up the mess after the party.
Dulin was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and still thinking about some situations about Ambiluau, when there was a knock on the door. After he hesitated, Ophelia pushed the door open and entered.
"Are you done?" he asked without hearing the noise downstairs.
Ophelia nodded and sat on the edge of the bed. She always had a smile on her face, even when she discovered some bad secrets that made her uncomfortable, it didn't show on her face.
Her hand gently inserted into Du Lin's hair, and her fingertips pressed his scalp. Looking at this man who was much older than herself and exuding intoxicating charm, after a moment of silence, she decided Ask out the confusion in your heart.
Since you choose to like someone, the first thing you have to do is to be honest. If she doubts it, then tell him and let him know that she doubts it.
This may hurt, but more likely it will heal!
"I saw the wallet with your name in the dressing room. Do you stay here every time you come to the imperial capital?"
