Ten minutes later, Maggs returned to the living room and continued to watch TV with his wife. Looking at him, he suddenly said, "It's Senin's call."
Senin is one of the long list of names of the Holy Lady. Only those with a good relationship are qualified to use this name in their title. Now the entire empire can count the number of people who can call her this way on one hand.
Winica never showed any obvious changes. She just nodded and her attention was still on the TV.
Thank you that Winica is not the heir to her original family's title, otherwise a war is likely to break out between the two women.
She was almost snatched away from her husband at her wedding by Her Majesty the Saint on horseback and led by an army. Fortunately, she still completed the wedding ceremony with Mags in the end. As a winner, Vinica maintained her victor's attitude, very He "magnanimously" gave up the pursuit.
But when it comes to this woman, her heart is definitely not as calm as she appears.
After Mags said something, he found that there was nothing unusual, so he stopped mentioning it. The two of them continued to watch the plot of the TV series continue to advance, and he continued to comment on the various fabricated contents in it.
The next morning, Dulin received a call from Maggs. The two had a chat on the phone. He did not interfere with Dulin's ideas. This was not what a smart person should do.
Whether you like someone or hate someone, don't interfere in other people's decisions. It will only make people hate you or hate you even more. Respect is not just a word, a sentence, but also an action.
Dulin and Mags chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. He turned around and walked back to the chair to sit down. "How are you? Are you still getting used to life in Ambiluo State?"
Sitting opposite him were his brother Merlin and Merlin's wife Suri. The newly established "Empire Applied Technology" has been registered in Ambiro State. Dulin used his power as governor to give the company a five-year tax reduction. Super preferential policy.
This does not violate any laws or regulations, nor is it an abuse of power. The empire has always encouraged the independent promotion of scientific progress by the private sector, and any enterprise linked to science and technology will have corresponding support policies.
Dulin only gave the new company a slight discount based on the upper limit of this policy standard, which was not considered an abuse of power.
After the establishment of the new company, it launched more than a dozen different products at once. What is unexpected is that the high-tech products on Science Island that scientists thought would be popular were frequently ignored, and the sales volume was appalling.
On the contrary, they believe that products that have little value and cannot reflect the development of society promoted by science, such as small household appliances used to heat meals, and the high-molecular polymer fiber fabrics have become hot items and are sold throughout the empire.
In particular, the "Microwave Waveguide High Frequency Food Processor II" used for heating meals was directly named "Microwave Oven" by Du Lin, which detonated the home appliance market. Less than half a month after its launch, it has become a must-have for families. One of the home appliances, sales volume is second only to TV sets.
However, TVs can be purchased through a similar installment agreement, but microwave ovens cannot. This also means that without the current marketing strategy of the cable TV group, microwave ovens will definitely become the top seller.
The hot sales of these goods have made people pay attention to the companies that produce these goods. Many consortiums and venture capital have contacted Merlin, preparing to acquire part of the company's shares through legal and illegal methods.
However, when they learned that Merlin's surname was Kesma and that he was Dulin's brother, this idea was abandoned.
Although there is no longer the idea of forced buying and selling, capital will not stop pursuing profits. Under the operation of some capitalists and capital forces, some people in the three major exchanges have begun to call for Imperial Applied Technology to be listed as soon as possible.
The Securities and Futures Commission also sent people to ask Meilin. If the company has the idea of listing, then the Securities and Futures Commission will speed up all the necessary procedures for them and let the company be listed as soon as possible.
Merlin suddenly became a real socialite. This was the second time Dulin met him after he settled in Ambiro State. The rest of the time, he was busy socializing and couldn't get away.
At this time, Merlin, who was full of spring breeze, nodded repeatedly. Although the carved ivory cigarette holder was not as dazzling as gold, it could still attract the attention of others. "The air here is very good, very much like the environment at home. I've had enough of Nanolindes." The air over there is filled with the smell of engine oil.”
"And there are some nice rivers here. I like fishing and enjoying nature. This place fits my life requirements very well."
Du Lin nodded, then looked at Su Rui, "What about you? How are you doing here after leaving the familiar environment and friends?"
Su Rui was flattered and nodded repeatedly. She was a little nervous. Du Lin had changed too much. In just a few years, he went from mayor who was dismissed from his post to governor. In addition, some other titles made Su Rui a little nervous.
She firmly grasped the handle of the Kun bag with both hands and bent slightly, "What Merlin wants to say is what I want to say. The scenery here is like the place described in a story book..." She glanced at Merlin, but Merlin did not I didn't notice this, "And I also made a lot of new friends here. Everyone is very warm and polite. I'm very satisfied."
Regardless of whether what Suri said was true to her inner thoughts, at least she cared about Merlin and his current status. This was why Dulin took a liking to her at first sight and hoped that they could become husband and wife.
Merlin is... to use a more popular term, he is a modern zero-responsibility man. He is not willing to take on too many responsibilities, and at the same time he likes to mingle with girls.
Only a girl like Suri can tolerate him and maintain the marriage, but it's not too bad now. At least they have a child. For the sake of the child, Merlin will basically not divorce Suri.
Unless he wants to face the co-ed tag team of Mr. and Mrs. Kesma and try to survive.
"I will leave all the company matters to you. You can hire a few more professional managers. It won't cost much, but they can handle everything properly for you. In addition, I said last time You have to implement the plan given to you as soon as possible. You are a little behind in this aspect." Dulin gave Merlin a cigarette and pulled Merlin to the window. After all, there were other people in the room. female.
It's true that Dulin is a bastard, but sometimes he is also a gentleman.
The plan he mentioned was for Merlin to cultivate a group of loyal consumers as soon as possible and increase the competitiveness of the new company in the market, but Merlin had some own ideas in this regard.
Dulin's plan is actually very simple. It is to give money and things. If it is slightly beautified, it is to form a national consumer club, select some loyal customers to join, and then hold various activities regularly.
For example, take everyone on a trip, or give them some new products for free use, or take them to visit the production process of the factory, or even listen to their valuable suggestions for a fee.
Cultivating loyal consumer groups and then promoting people's habitual consumption is an inevitable trend in the future.
But Merlin believes that this plan will waste a lot of money. First of all, just the construction of the club will cost a lot of money. Not to mention him, with Dulin's status alone, it is impossible to just randomly treat a place as a club. It must be carefully selected and decorated.
After this large amount of expenditure is over, there will be periodic "waste". He has made a small calculation himself. If the club attracts 10,000 people and invests 100 yuan per person every year, then there will be 100 yuan per person every year. At least one million was wasted.
Including club maintenance and other staff expenses, two to three million a year will be spent on this.
Even if Dulin had money, he probably wouldn't be able to afford such a waste for long, so he has been delaying it. So far, the entire plan is still in the initial stage - the location selection of the club.
Seeing Merlin's passive attitude without saying a word, Dulin put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Do you still remember that day, the day I left home?"
Merlin was stunned for a moment, then his face revealed an expression of reminiscence, with a faint smile on his face, "Why don't you remember? Father was almost mad at you."
The two brothers burst into laughter at the same time, and Suri sat aside and laughed without knowing why.
Dulin sighed, "Yes, it seems that not long ago, Mr. Kesma gave me some money. Do you know how much it was?"
Merlin nodded and said, "Twenty dollars. Mason and I were thinking of stealing a few dollars when you went to bed at night, but we didn't expect you to leave so fast and not give us any chance!"
This time it was Du Lin's turn to look at him with wide eyes, "If the former king and the gods know that you have such thoughts, they will definitely kill you. You actually want to steal Mr. Kesma for me to ensure my survival." Basic money.”
Merlin not only did not feel ashamed but laughed loudly, "If you leave one day later, we will definitely get it."
Du Lin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "In the end, the money was lost... I don't know which son of a bitch stole my money. I was penniless at the time and almost desperate to go home."
"But I held on. I didn't go back. I just wanted to let you know and let the world know that even if I was forced into a desperate situation, as long as I was not killed immediately, I could climb back to the Kingdom of God from hell. !”
"We are not rich to begin with, so what are you afraid of losing, my brother?" Dulin let go of his arms and turned to face Merlin. He opened his arms and embraced the sunshine, with a confident smile on his face at this moment. It blooms so dazzlingly that it is almost impossible to open one's eyes. "If one day these things are gone from us, then we will find them all back with our hands!"
"Losing is not terrible, Merlin, but if you are not even mentally prepared for losing, that is the most terrible thing!"
