In the living room, the 32-inch TV screen plays programs with somewhat distorted colors. Current picture tube imaging technology and decoding technology are still unable to restore more realistic colors, but even so, this is a very remarkable progress.
In last year’s foreign trade, TVs actually accounted for 1.7% of the total exported goods. This is simply a miracle. You must know that so far only a few countries close to the Yaoxing Empire have access to cable TV. TV signal, and only in some areas.
The main use of these TVs after export was to play various tapes. The tape business shrank a lot due to the impact of cable TV, and many once-famous tape companies were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Dulin allowed Nasha to quickly complete the integration of the tape industry and acquire a large number of tape companies and upstream and downstream companies. Now the largest tape service company in the empire is also Dulin's industry.
For those overseas countries and users who have no way to access cable TV signals, tape is the only good thing that can prevent them from spending thousands of dollars on an ugly low coffee table, and it can also allow them to display it in front of their relatives and friends. Spectrum.
The tape business that is booming again has also made some entrepreneurs who have been through tape companies a little excited, but in the end they gave up.
Du Lin is able to make money because he has mastered the first-hand content. He has a monopoly on the broadcasting rights and filling rights of the cable TV group. As long as he does not let go, no one can shake his authority in this regard. status.
Instead of just getting into trouble, it's better to do something else honestly.
What is being shown on TV are some highlights from before the Western Battle Royale. Although this competition has come to an end, the popularity has not diminished. Instead, with the birth of many multi-millionaires and millionaires, it has begun to spread to more and more people. Far away.
As long as they can enter the finals, every participant is a star, a star different from screen stars. Major corporate groups are forming their own teams. These players who participated in the finals are obviously the best candidates. There is no one. .
A game created a terrible cash flow, led to the gradual improvement of an unexpected industry, and also brought several major changes to many people.
Looking away from the TV, Du Lin tilted his head and looked at Alfonso with a smile. He gave Alfonso a cigarette, and the latter took it respectfully, then took out a lighter and lit it for Du Lin.
The two sighed for a while, and then Du Lin asked, "What do you think about discipline issues?"
This sentence is actually a silly question, and most people can't turn around at all. But every agent who can help people get up from adversity, and the past president of the hometown association, are definitely not ordinary characters.
Because ordinary characters cannot bear such responsibilities, have neither the courage nor the ability to shoulder the great cause of national rejuvenation.
Alfonso had not read much, and most of Dulin's men had not read much, and more than two-thirds of them were illiterate.
At Du Lin's request, these people participated in various cram schools and literacy classes, and finally figured out how to read and how to write, but they wanted to make them write fluent and beautiful words and write some warning quotes. Still impossible.
But this does not prevent them from having rich experience. After all, what can be learned in books is limited, and there are still great limitations. Only the experience gained in real life is truly valuable.
Reality will never follow a routine for you. When your choice makes it dissatisfied, it will give you a slap in the face, making people realize the cruelty of reality.
These experiences and experience were gained with wounds on the body and bloody hands, so they must be precious and effective.
Alfonso thought for a moment and realized what Dulin was asking. He lowered his head and pondered slightly, and then replied, "Before I met you, I had been working for a rancher, shepherding sheep, and butchering. There are about 3,000 sheep and only five herders. It was difficult for us to do well in the beginning. Some sheep always strayed too far and got lost.”
He took a puff of the cigarette and showed some nostalgia on his face, "Then our salary was deducted, and the rancher also canceled our dinner for a month as punishment for missing the animals."
"Later we became smarter and we needed to slaughter some sheep every day, so we set a rule for the sheep. Anyone who went beyond the range defined by the red circle around the pasture would be killed in front of all the sheep. It then whips the strongest ram in the flock."
"At first, the sheep were frightened and ran around. But after we did more, the sheep in the flock all understood the truth. They cannot cross the line and cannot let other newly sent sheep cross the line."
"If a new sheep arrives and tries to cross the red line, the stronger rams in the flock will attack it until it dies or retreats back into the flock."
Alfonso had a smile of wisdom on his face, "It's not difficult to make people obey the rules. When some people are punished because of other people's faults, they will spontaneously start to uphold these rules."
After hearing this, Du Lin thought seriously for a while and nodded, "It's an interesting summary of experience, but it is not enough, because people are not sheep. People have more wisdom, more desires, and they also know how to solve some problems." troubles that bother them, even if their solutions turn out to be unworkable.”
"So when we need to manage people, the most important thing for intelligent humans is to have a reward system in addition to a punishment system!"
He patted Alfonso's arm and continued, "I need someone to help me do something. You are the first person I think of. During this time, you should pay attention to the work rules and regulations of the party's internal affairs department. Then I will go back and form a team myself, and I will be able to use it in two years.”
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a very important department. It can be said that in Dulin's eyes, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be the most important department of the new party. During the Maggs era, he ignored the value of this department, or he was too proud and confident. He believes that nothing in this world can exceed his expectations and plans.
Therefore, he allowed the isolation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the new party, so that a key power department is now as helpless as a chicken with a plague.
Dulin believed that once he grasped some power within the New Party, he would immediately establish the Ministry of Internal Affairs so that everyone would have a sharp sword hanging over their head.
Some people say that over-concentration of power cannot last long. Dulin agrees with this statement. Over-concentration of power in any regime in history will not last long before it will be overthrown. However, in history, the process of change in any era These are often periods of excessive concentration of power.
There are too many people with too many selfish desires. It is impossible for everyone in this world to have the same ideas. This means different positions, different choices, and conflicts.
Only by forcefully forcing everyone to lower their heads, reducing internal friction, and reducing internal differences of opinion can we successfully navigate a prosperous path amidst the changes of the times.
This was what Magus was like back then. Judging from the history that Dulin currently understands, it was Magus who seized the opportunity to force the royal family to give up its power and resolved the armed conflict between the nobles and the royal family.
But if you think about it the other way around, isn't it possible that Maggs created such a situation that forced both parties and history to inevitably choose him
In this process, where have the vested interests gone, and where have the opponents gone
In fact, it is not difficult to guess that these people are all finished, killed by the great era changer and era pioneer Magus... Sorry, it should be said that they were abandoned by this great era and then eliminated by history.
The pen used to write history is always in the hands of the winner. If Maggs had not succeeded back then, the Maggs people know today would probably be a different kind of person.
"Choose those who are absolutely reliable. We are not afraid of their youth, but of their lack of motivation. These people must have firm ideals and beliefs, and be able to endure the abuse, ridicule and humiliation of those in society who do not understand the truth when necessary. "
"I look forward to the day when you can accompany me into the cabinet, Alfonso."
Alfonso was so excited that he wanted to blow his nose. This was a small problem of his. Whenever he was particularly excited, he would feel his head getting hot, and then he would have the illusion that his nose was about to flow out.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to take out his handkerchief and blow his nose regularly in front of Du Lin at this time. He could only use the scarf to wipe his nose with the scarf as an excuse to get excited and dance.
For people who are unfamiliar with power, they may not necessarily think that power is the most beautiful thing in the world. They may sneer at the descriptions in novels, film and television works, and even think that if they hold power, they will do better than others. many.
Too stupid, too ridiculous, too ignorant!
The beauty of power is that it is omnipotent. No matter what a person lacks, as long as he has power, he can get everything he wants.
Whether it's money, power, status, prestige, love, health, and... dignity.
Alfonso had tasted the poison of power, and that feeling made him unable to extricate himself. It was even more exciting and thrilling than the Grimace Mushroom.
When Dulin said "enter the cabinet", Alfonso's whole body was trembling. He knew what it meant, cabinet chief, or minister.
A person who was born as a street child and has lived in a miserable world of black and white since childhood, struggling not to let himself die in a corner, suddenly one day he may enter the cabinet. Why is this feeling so addictive
"I... I... I'm sorry, I don't know what to say to express how I feel now..." Alfonso's lips trembled, not so sharp, his face turned red, and he held his hands like little mice. Trembling slightly in front of him.
Du Lin patted him on the shoulder and stood up. He stood up immediately, bending slightly, "I need a pruning knife for repairing to cut off those rotten branches. You are mine." Trimmer, if there’s anything you don’t understand, ask me!”
Alfonso shook for a while and returned to normal. He took a deep breath and patted his chest, "Don't worry, Dulin!"
After leaving the guest room, Dulin returned to the study and sat for a while.
Choosing Alfonso was a decision he made after careful consideration. In fact, there seemed to be a lot of people under him, but there were very few who could really be used.
First of all, no matter what position they are in now, those guys from the Guart people are from poor families and lack the necessary foundation and experience to support them in going further and climbing higher.
Secondly, there are indeed some highly educated intellectuals in the group company, but these people can only work in the commercial field, because in the commercial field Dulin can confirm that he is enough to deter these people's selfish desires and ambitions.
But politics is different, and it is also an important department. If the person who is put in the position betrays him because of interests, the person who loses will definitely not be a subordinate!
So he would rather use Alfonso than those Ogdin people!
The Ogdin people betrayed him, and mainstream society would not reject a person who caused trouble for him.
But if a Guart betrays him, he will inevitably be despised by the Guart group and mainstream society at the same time. There will be no way to survive in this empire!
After taking a short rest, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Chairman's private residence.
After thinking about the waiting tone of the phone for a while, the call was answered. The other person did not speak. Du Lin took the initiative and said, "Your Excellency, this is Du Lin."
The chairman of the new party committee is called Odegaard, a hereditary earl of the empire. According to past calculations, the value of his earl is equivalent to that of some non-hereditary marquises. If his ancestors have made more meritorious services and their family wealth is relatively rich, even ordinary marquises cannot compare with him. .
But it's a pity that since he and Mags stood together, he personally wiped out the inheritance of the nobility, and this hereditary title became a thing of the past.
There was a hint of kindness in the slightly old voice. This kindness was not directed at Du Lin, but at the old man behind Du Lin, "What's the matter?"
"Yes..., I want to visit you recently. I don't know when you will be free."
The so-called visit is actually a private conversation. The Chairman thought for a while and gave a time, "I will be free from four o'clock in the afternoon to six thirty the day after tomorrow..." He paused here. Then he added somewhat inexplicably, "Before this, I will have a meeting with the governor of Woodland State. You can arrange your own time and let me know after work tomorrow."
Dulin said a few greetings and hung up the phone, then quickly mentioned, "Help me check a person, the governor of Woodland State. I want all his information, as soon as possible!"
There are two unofficial book club groups, because my official group has been blocked, 887337950, and 950948395. This is a new group opened by book friends, and there are currently no people. These two groups
