"I love this city!"
Du Lin stood on the edge of the cliff and watched the waves crashing onto the cliff one after another. Some of the water spray and mist would be lifted high by the sea breeze, and then slowly fall, landing on Du Lin. on the face. This feeling is particularly pleasant in midsummer, and my whole body and mind are washed away. He looked at the horizon in the distance and the dozens of ships near and far on the horizon, and took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze.
This city is different from Tenel, and different from all the cities in Canles. It is controlled by people from the New Party from top to bottom, from inside to outside. These people are more flexible in governing. The focus is definitely not on "who is disobedient", but on "how to build a better city." Perhaps it is precisely because of this that people accept the new party's governance much faster than the old parties expected. They care too much about their own power and political issues.
Here, money is the only eternal truth.
Dulin couldn't reach into the police station, but Scott could, and the mayor could. Strictly speaking, this is a real murder case. Dulin provided the script and was responsible for the early execution plan, Scott was responsible for the middle adjustment, and finally the mayor was responsible for all the finishing touches. Without Kurt and the mayor, could the police in the police station really pretend not to know what happened and let an important prisoner "hang" to commit suicide
Did they really not know that guy was strangled and hung
Of course they know, they are doing these jobs, how could they not know? However, the mayor's opinion was that the case should be closed as soon as possible without further mishaps, so the police officers played their roles strictly in accordance with the script. It doesn't matter whether those who leave this world are innocent or not, because under the general trend based on the entire city, the value of individuals has long been weakened to the extreme.
This is reflected in the cooperation between Dulin and the city hall. At the same time, Dulin is also very clear that the tacit understanding between him and the city hall is only for this matter.
But if there is one, there will be two, and if there are three, there will be more. Dulin is not worried about this at all.
Scott was standing behind Du Lin at this time. He didn't like the strong sea breeze blowing at such a high place, but Du Lin liked it, so he had to accompany him here. Hearing what Dulin said, Scott had a lot of smiles on his face, "I also like this city, it's quiet and beautiful. I've been to many other cities, but I can never find any one like Ilian." It’s the only city in the empire and the only one in the world!”
"You are right, this is the only place in the world!" Dulin turned around and walked towards the house, followed closely by Scott, "I like it here very much, so I plan to settle here, you know "I also invested in a company, the largest cinema chain company in Ilian." As the two walked, Dulin gave Scott a vaccination, "They want to raise 200,000 yuan to provide theater equipment." Upgrade, it can be played in color. I heard that "Ilian Holiday" is planned to be shot with color camera equipment and then played with color equipment."
Scott thought for a while and then remembered what the "biggest" theater company Du Lin was talking about, but he frowned slightly and looked at Du Lin but hesitated to speak. Du Lin made a gesture of invitation out of curiosity, and then he spoke out what was on his mind, "You're talking about East Coast Entertainment, right? I was a little overwhelmed when you said it was the largest. They used to be the largest hospital." Line companies, but that doesn’t mean they will be in the future.”
"In fact, someone started preparing to build a new theater chain three months ago. They acquired 12 pieces of land in the early stage, and plan to acquire another 12 pieces of land in the later stage. The city hall has already approved it."
Is it reasonable that there are only 16 movie theaters in Ilian, which has a permanent population of 8 million? It is obviously unreasonable. No one may have realized this problem before, but as the preparations for the eighth district began, external capital has discovered this unreasonable phenomenon. Assuming that one hundred thousand people need one cinema, Ilian should have at least 80 cinemas.
If this number is too exaggerated, if you halve it, there would be forty cinemas. You must know that once the Eighth District is completed, Ilian will become a place where stars from the entire empire gather, and it will become a holy place for film practitioners. With this kind of appeal, it will also become a test city for the success of a movie. A mere sixteen cinemas, too few! That's why external capital took a fancy to this market and planned to build 24 cinemas. Together with the 16 previously owned by East Coast Entertainment, there would be a total of 40 cinemas.
When Du Lin heard about this for the first time, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Why haven't I seen these news in the newspaper?"
Scott also stopped, and he explained a little awkwardly: "These projects are closely related to the Eighth District, so you know, we don't plan to disclose it to the public before starting construction. There are several other places that are also suitable. To build a movie city like this, many things are still being kept secret in order to prevent them from implementing things before us.”
"You mean the 200,000 yuan I invested was wasted?" Dulin didn't know what to say. He also ambitiously planned to cover the entire Ilian with theaters and then expand outwards, but when Skoko It was a late signal, which gave him a very funny feeling that someone was cutting off his beard!
Scott could only smile awkwardly at this. He comforted Dulin and said, "Actually, you can sell your shares to the new tycoon. He is actually very interested in East Coast Entertainment. It should be OK." Sell it for a good price.”
"Who is that person? I want to talk to him!" Du Lin quickly smoothed out his thoughts. Since he can't be the biggest, he will form a partnership. He incorporated East Coast Entertainment into the new company as his own capital and became a shareholder of the new theater chain, which also meant that he controlled this theater line.
Scott showed an apologetic smile, "Sorry, I'm temporarily...", he suddenly found that Dulin's eyes looked at him with something indescribable, like the eyes of those wolves seen in a hunting ground, cruel. Being harsh, he swallowed what he said next, then took two steps closer and whispered: "Do you know the George family, the newspaper tycoon in the imperial capital? They plan to expand their business, not only in Ilian, but also in Ilian. They are also building new cinemas elsewhere…”
Dulin knew about the George family, a group of literate lunatics who controlled twenty-seven newspapers and used various astonishing titles to attract readers to buy subscriptions, which also allowed them to achieve great success. About four or five years ago, the George family's industry was divided into two camps. One half published some news needed by mainstream society in a rigorous attitude and steady style, including news about politics, finance, military or people's livelihood. news. The other half tried their best to publish dirty things, often related to crime, cyan and other things. Among them was "Good Morning Empire", which was known as the first gossip newspaper in the empire.
This is a very large family with a profound family background and strong political influence. However, many ordinary people do not understand them or even know about them. Because when you read a newspaper, you never think about whose property the newspaper company that printed the newspaper belongs to. Forty-three percent of the people in the entire empire are reading newspapers printed by newspapers owned by the George family, but Maybe only 0.000043% of people know about the George family.
Du Lin knows that this family is related to the recent desire to build a media group of his own. He always wanted to check who his future opponents were, and naturally among them was the newspaper tycoon John George.
Du Lin felt a little pained when he thought that he would not be able to face this game before he developed. Seeing his silence, Scott also breathed a sigh of relief. If this rich man who took money as money had to compete with the George family, it would not be a good thing for him, Ilian, and the George family. Because no one can lose, everyone has a reason to win. It would be the best thing if we could cooperate. This way we won't hurt the harmony and everyone can achieve their goals.
After returning to the manor, Dulin lost interest in continuing to chat. After dismissing Scott who shook his head with a wry smile and left, he lay lazily on the sofa. Why did these damn big guys have to come to this small place to snatch things from him? ? That's enough!
Dulin complained here. At the port not far from him, a passenger ship from the core area of the empire slowly docked. A girl with a stern face left the passenger ship from the special gangway under the protection of several guards. The girl looked young, only 17, 18 or 19. She was wearing a gray business suit with white spots, and her white shirt collar was turned out. She took off her sunglasses, tilted her head and glanced at the tourists on the beach, then turned and walked towards the car that greeted her not far away.
After sitting in the car, the secretary next to her rolled up the window and said with a serious face: "The president asked you to come here this time just to have a good mood. Ilian is the most prosperous tourist city in the empire. One, many people regard this place as a place they must visit in their lives, and it is also one of the places people most want to settle.”
There was a cold aura in the girl's blue eyes. She just glanced at the secretary, and then withdrew her gaze, "I know, I will do as he asked."
