The man took a breath and said a little defeatedly, "I'm sorry, I was rash!"
Dulin shook his head, "I'm very sorry, I forgot your name, so I don't know how to call you."
"My name is Carter, sir!"
"Carter, although I rejected your request, you don't have to be discouraged at all, because there is something more suitable for you waiting for you." Dulin pointed to the sofa opposite him, and Carter sat on it carefully, "You Do you know the hometown association?”
Carter nodded, "I know sir, Abien and his associates publicized it to us some time ago, saying that you..." He looked up at Dulin, and Dulin motioned for him to continue, "He He said that you are engaged in human trafficking and running a private mine. Let us be careful not to contact you, so as not to be sold to you as a laborer in a black mine elsewhere." He scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, he believed it. Bean's propaganda really believes that Dulin is a bad guy with a dark heart.
Dulin knew these rumors, but he still found them funny when he heard them. Maybe Abion's rumors were correct. He did "eat people", but he only "eat" his enemies.
"The Hometown Association needs to develop. I don't have enough manpower to do it now, and you are the most suitable person. The Hometown Association is the only non-governmental organization with the Guartes as its core. Our purpose is not to be like other Those extremist organizations insist on reviving the country, which is impossible. The association is just an organization that cares for each other, is friendly to each other, and works hard for us to get better living conditions and welfare benefits. "
"Do you know why those elegant people always get better jobs than you? Because they are very united. When facing certain troubles, they can spontaneously unite together and let people know their unity and the challenges they face. It’s difficult. On the contrary, we Guart people are too silent and will not speak out even if we are treated unfairly. This is wrong.”
"If you don't fight for it, why should others give it to you? Only if you fight for it and let the public and the empire hear your voice and know your demands, will they consider whether to meet your conditions. The Guart people are too silent It has been so long that people have forgotten that the ancestors once conquered this continent. The glory of our ancestors is in our hearts and in our hands. It is time for it to shine. Carter, my compatriots, this is an honor. The mission is also a heavy burden. I want you to shoulder this responsibility, can you do it? "
Carter was a little excited, his lips trembled slightly, he nodded vigorously, and clenched his hands into fists, "I can do it, Mr. Dulin, I'm sure I can! In what happened before, I realized It comes to everything you said. When we are treated unfairly, no one can save us except ourselves. The Provincial people, the Ogdin people, and the barbarians in the north will only look at our jokes!"
"I don't know if I can do this well, but I will try my best to do it well!"
Dulin stood up, took out the checkbook from his arms and put it away again. He has a checkbook of large denominations, but the largest denomination is only one thousand yuan. A checkbook with more than one thousand yuan is not called a checkbook, but a "cashier's check." There is a big difference between a check and a cashier's check. A cashier's check is equivalent to proof of cash and can be exchanged for the cash stated on the cashier's check at any bank. Checks require a verification process to prove that there is money in the account before the amount in the checkbook can be withdrawn.
In the Ilian area, a check book worth one thousand yuan is already the maximum amount that can be applied for. Banks with more than one thousand yuan will recommend customers to use cashier's checks, which is convenient and fast, and will cause minimal losses to the bank. Because cashier's checks rarely act directly on the early invoice bank to withdraw cash, different banks can perform hedging on the settlement date to solve the problem of reduced savings in the bank. (In the early days of the United States, there were still five-dollar and ten-dollar checkbooks, and it is said that the smallest amount was two dollars.)
He asked Ellis to get a promissory note of 10,000 yuan and taught Carter, "Go to the Fifth District to find a piece of land and buy it. The remaining money will be used for operations and your personal salary and other expenses. Try as much as possible." To attract members, only the Guartes will tell them that their fellow villagers will not take even a penny from them, but will only give them money and equal and fair rights!”
Carter's hands were shaking when he took the cashier's check for 10,000 yuan. He had never touched such a large amount of money in his life, but now that he had, he could feel the trust and respect from Dulin. He put the cashier's check into his pocket, held Dulin's left hand, and kissed the cat's-eye ring on his index finger, "As you wish, sir!"
After sending Carter away, Dulin contacted Garfield. After the last friendly meeting, Garfield happily agreed to meet Dulin. The place they agreed on was at the port.
Dulin really wants to buy a ship, but the purpose of buying a ship is not as simple as simple logistics and transportation. He plans to immediately start expanding the wine-making workshops after getting Juan's liquor license and transport the wine to various parts of the empire. For sale at the place. There is another little idea here. He will only sell wine to the Guartes. Whether those Guartes want to protect their own interests or make more money, they must have more wine. Bloody!
The profits of moonshine have skyrocketed under the second Prohibition. The retail price of moonshine has tripled in many areas. Faced with such an attractive market, even those honest Guarts will blush. Eyes go to war with those who try to prevent them from getting rich. And Dulin can also use this opportunity to form a nationwide network, and these people will become his disciples!
Think about it, when there are people from Dulin in every city, and these people also have the courage and strength, what Dulin wants to do cannot be done
Of course, the premise of all this is that he must have wine that can be supplied to the whole country, and a network that can transport the wine to various places quickly enough. He once considered finding something else to do for his stupid compatriots, but after thinking about it, it seemed that only letting them protect their own interests could stimulate their blood. This is no one's fault. If you have to find one person to take the blame for the Guart people's silence over the years, it is God's fault.
Garfield didn't let Dulin wait long. When Dulin arrived with his front foot, he arrived with his back foot.
"Is there anything you need to talk about on the pier?" Garfield complained with a smile as soon as he got off the car. He stepped forward and shook hands with Dulin. "I benefited a lot from what you said yesterday. I will think about it after I go back. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to go to the west to buy some mines and do it myself from source to terminal. "
After Dulin said those words, Garfield immediately realized that if the economy is really recovering rapidly as Dulin said, and the real industry is about to enter a period of rapid development, then the society's demand for steel will also increase dramatically! Because whether you are building a railway or building a house or anything else, you cannot do without steel and cement. He is not familiar with cement, but he is already familiar with steel.
He also realized that once the social demand for steel increased, the ore as raw material would become in short supply and even face a short-term shortage, so he decided to go to the west and buy some iron ore, even if he did not make it himself in the future. You can also make a lot of money by supplying goods. He has never considered snatching the title of Steel Tycoon. He can't afford it and he doesn't have that much ability. He just wants to use this opportunity to make some money.
Dulin gave a positive response to Garfield's tentative inquiry, "Now is the best time to invest in mines. There are some iron mines in the west that are in the shutdown stage because of the current low steel prices. It is not easy to buy those mines." It will cost you too much money, but it can bring you many times the profit. This is a good project," he said, then put down his hands and talked about his own affairs, "I plan to buy some boats, they all said! You are the most knowledgeable in this area, so I brought you here.”
"What kind of ship do you want, one that carries cargo or people?" When he mentioned what Garfield knew, he immediately became excited. He provides the metal ingots used in most of the shipyards in Ilian, and he also has people he knows in the shipyards who can talk to them.
Du Lin thought for a moment and said, "I want a freighter. The more cargo it can carry, the better."
Garfield smiled and shook his head: "Dulin, to be honest, I don't actually recommend you to play with boats. The cost of building a boat is too high, the maintenance cost is too high, but the profit efficiency is too low. Let's talk about the latest The cost of building a 20,000-ton cargo ship is as high as 1.2 million, and the construction time is nine months. Except for those shipping tycoons who have retired from the navy, no one can handle shipping. "
He said earnestly: "And the situation at sea is very changeable, especially pirates. If you don't pay your comfort fee regularly, they will rob your ship, kill your crew, and then sink your ship to the bottom of the sea!"
Dulin couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "So the shipping tycoons in the empire are all from the military?"
Garfield shrugged his shoulders, "This is a well-known thing in the industry. They initially caused some problems with some supply ships that were in service, and then packaged and bought these supply ships, forming a huge scale. No one dares to compete with them. There is an unconfirmed rumor that the pirates on the outer sea are also controlled by these shipping tycoons and shipping kings, and they even belong to them. "
"Otherwise, if you think about it, why do they occupy this free world?"
