"The Navy...detained the ship?" the resident councilman sitting in Staley City exclaimed in disbelief, "Why did the Navy detain the merchant ship? What reason did they use? Do they want money?"
The speaker's head started to hurt more and more, but he was old enough and had seen a lot of pain. This pain was not enough to make him show a painful expression, but there was a trace of impatience hidden in his tone.
People are like this. When they feel uncomfortable, no matter how much they restrain themselves, they will vent it out in some unique way. Impatience is one of them, and most people will feel this way.
Even caring and greetings to them will make them feel very irritable. This has nothing to do with psychology or age, and is purely a physiological and natural phenomenon.
Just like when people are happy, their bodies will secrete dopamine, and when they are unhappy, they will secrete no dopamine.
"They detained these ships for smuggling and suspected theft..." He pressed his temple, "This has nothing to do with money. The people I arranged before went to communicate with the navy and hinted that they could make some slightly excessive demands, but They all refused."
"They told the liaison... they are just trying to uphold the dignity of the law!" When he said this, the speaker's expression seemed a bit exaggerated. They knew very well what those navy were like before, but now they have actually learned to uphold the law. dignity
What a joke!
At this moment, everyone began to whisper among themselves that the navy did not want money and also detained these cargo ships. It was obvious that someone was behind this.
Everyone discussed for a while, then closed their mouths and looked at the Speaker.
After a brief headache, the Speaker obviously felt much better. He snorted softly and said, "At the end of the year before last, Du Lin attended a meeting of high-level naval officials. According to the news from some of our participants, Du Lin contracted something. The remaining capacity of a naval base on the coast."
As soon as this sentence was said, everyone immediately understood why the speaker would associate the business group with these impounded freighters and put it out in this emergency meeting.
He took a sip of light scented tea and became more energetic. "I think it is very likely that the incident of the cargo ship being impounded is related to the business group. Gentlemen, this is why I summoned you. Du Lin is very likely to He made a very egregious move that infringed on the interests of everyone here and not here, and then used these impounded freighters to put pressure on the Chamber of Commerce to force us to recognize his actions.”
The rotating speaker has experienced too many things in his life, and he can see through the essence of the problem at a glance, just like the previous conflict between Dulin and the General Chamber of Commerce of Ambiluo State. He also keenly discovered Dulin's purpose, and immediately Choosing to dig up the carrion cut off Dulin's chance.
He originally thought that Du Lin would stop here, but he didn't expect that Du Lin would still persist in persisting, which made him a little embarrassed and a little scared.
Because he has a good relationship with Dulin, and he has contracted the remaining shipping capacity of a naval base on the west coast.
Compared with the more developed east coast, where railways are everywhere, transportation on the west coast mainly relies on sea transportation. It is too difficult and costly to open a transportation railway between the high mountains. The main transportation capacity in the western region is still sea transportation.
Once Dulinka controls the freighters on the east and west coasts, huge pressure will pile up on the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has been able to attract capitalists to become members and unite around the Chamber of Commerce for so many years, relying on these few things.
First, help small, medium and micro enterprises find cheap raw materials, and then help them find product sales channels, allowing these small, medium and micro enterprises to form an independent commodity economic cycle.
From the birth of a raw material to the moment it becomes a commodity and enters a household, the Chamber of Commerce is involved in almost every step. The Chamber of Commerce even has a certain say in the matter of members of the family going to work.
Second, we will work with the Imperial Bank of China to provide low-interest or even interest-free financial assistance to small, medium and micro enterprises to help them get out of the plight of capital shortages, and will also invest in some companies with potential.
The most difficult part in the development of small, medium and micro enterprises is the difficulty in solving the financial problem. It happens that the chamber of commerce can help them grow quickly and find a good place for their products. This makes many small, medium and micro enterprise members very loyal to the chamber of commerce.
Third, when members of the Chamber of Commerce encounter difficulties and need assistance from all aspects, the Chamber of Commerce will mobilize its superior resources to solve the problems for these members. Whether it is a trouble that can be reported or a trouble that cannot be reported, they can help solve it.
After all, not all businessmen can be called entrepreneurs or capitalists. There are always some micro-enterprises, or businessmen simply called shop owners who cannot afford lawyers and lack enough connections. At this time, the Chamber of Commerce stepped forward.
These three major policies have completely tied the empire's capitalists to the Chamber of Commerce's chariot, because as long as they operate a business in the empire, they cannot escape the influence of the Chamber of Commerce.
Even if someone is unwilling to join the chamber of commerce, they will soon become obedient in the business competition. The reason is very simple. Your raw material prices are higher than others, your sales channels are not good, and the price of the end product is uncompetitive. Give up.
Du Lin's move this time was much more decisive than before, directly blocking the key point of one of the three major policies of the Chamber of Commerce.
If this problem is not solved in time and the trouble is not solved as soon as possible, these capitalists will suffer heavy losses.
They won't say anything, but in their hearts they may not feel that the Chamber of Commerce is not responsible. Especially if someone deliberately reveals that the reason why they have suffered these losses is precisely because of the Chamber of Commerce, what will these people think?
They don't think they should hate Du Lin, because these people are completely incomparable with Du Lin. They can only complain and even resent the war between the Chamber of Commerce and Du Lin, but they were implicated and suffered huge losses. , the object of their hatred is the Chamber of Commerce.
It's not okay for one or two people to have such an idea. It's not terrible even for these people to have such an idea. Anyway, they can't leave the circle of the Chamber of Commerce.
The really scary thing is that at the same time, the regional business groups are trying their best to prove themselves and set an example for other places! !
In the past, they did not have the power to choose, but now they have it, and people have heard and seen with their own eyes the unparalleled policy preferences given by the local government to the business groups, and all kinds of support are given out as if they are free of money.
With more choices and more comparisons, even if Dulin doesn't take the initiative to do anything, under the general trend of the old party's rule, those aristocratic rulers may not think about this problem - why don't I give it a try
When more and more politicians have this idea, and when this idea becomes the main trend, the Chamber of Commerce will face disaster.
We have better choices, so why should we be constrained by the Chamber of Commerce
In fact, if you think about it the other way round, the three major policies of the Chamber of Commerce seem to be aimed at helping small, medium and micro enterprises to develop. On the other hand, if you think about it seriously, this may not be a means for the Chamber of Commerce to suppress these small, medium and micro enterprises, and even some large enterprises will do so. Influenced by the Chamber of Commerce.
Compared with business groups, which are more popular with politicians and have policy support, the choice becomes less difficult.
The councilors in the conference room fell into silence. The youngest among them were all in their forties. They could already imagine what terrible consequences it would bring to the Chamber of Commerce when all the things were connected and suddenly broke out. disaster.
At this time, a Chamber of Commerce member broke the silence, "Has anyone contacted Dulin?"
"What do you mean?", the Speaker glanced at him.
The man shook his head, "We are guessing what Du Lin wants to do here, why not ask him directly."
After the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce, the only youngest member of Parliament, who was actually forty-five years old, took two assistants and embarked on a journey to the west in a simple car.
As said at the meeting, instead of guessing, it is better to turn passive into active and take the initiative to talk to Du Lin about what he wants. At least he has a grasp of the development of things and will not be too passive.
On the other side, Mr. Gray, who was heavily protected by the agents of the Ambiro State Bureau of Investigation, finally woke up from his coma. His first words after waking up were the same as what he said before his last coma, which was "I want to Surrender yourself".
Mr. Gray was then secretly transferred to a monitoring room in the State Bureau of Investigation building specially designed to hold dangerous felons to ensure his safety.
No one knew what he said after that, but people soon discovered that the General Bureau of Police Investigation had dispatched an investigation team of twenty-one elite agents to the Western State Bureau of Investigation. For a time, Ambiro State might Rumors of a major crime were flying everywhere.
At this opportunity, members of the Chamber of Commerce arrived in Ambiluo State.
The three of them first went to the General Chamber of Commerce to take a look. The door was closed and there was no trace of normal operations. They did not inform the local president of the arrival of the headquarters and chose to observe quietly.
When public opinion became increasingly confusing, they decided to meet with Du Lin.
"From the Chamber of Commerce?" Du Lin, who was working, raised his head and glanced at Dove strangely.
The strange thing wasn't Dove, but what she said.
To be honest, this was the second time that the Chamber of Commerce made him feel unexpected. The first time, he thought that the Chamber of Commerce would drag things out in order to maintain the system of the Chamber of Commerce, but in the end, the other party directly killed him with a knife. The chaos caused his plan to fail.
This time, the plan he launched was still in the process of being fermented. It was still some time before the curtain was really unveiled, but people from the Chamber of Commerce had already arrived, and they even took the initiative to meet with him.
This also made Dulin realize a problem, that is, after rising to the national level, most people are not fools.
Even if he has a lot of experience and accumulation beyond this era, it is impossible for him to be "awake alone" in this world.
After looking at the document in his hand, he was no longer interested in reading any more. He put the pen in the document, closed it and placed it on his left hand. He stretched his body and nodded, "Place them in the living room. Order something to eat and drink, I’ll be there later.”
