"We have never been afraid of bloodshed and fighting. We will always defend our rights. No one can take them away from us, even at the cost of our lives!"
"It is precisely because of fighters like Budi and you that we have a future!"
"We are not inferior pariahs. We are the descendants of the ancestors and gods. The world will eventually give us justice. Please have faith in this. It won't be long!"
"May the late king and the gods be with you!"
Looking at the passenger ship going away, Budi showed a determined expression on his face. Dulin may not be old, but his thoughts, his character, and his love for the Guart race surpass everyone here! He is the pioneer, no, he is the saint, the saint in the Guart people's fables who can only appear for thousands of years! He will lead the entire Guart nation on the road to revival!
Buddy's arm was a little bent. He had fractured it for too long and it was difficult to fully reconnect it, but he didn't care. If he could exchange one arm for the rise of the entire race, he would be willing to sacrifice his other arm, even his own life.
People who have not lived in pain and struggled in the quagmire of endless darkness will never know their desire for life and their suppressed love for life. No one likes darkness, everyone is willing to embrace light. When praying cannot bring light, you can only use your hands to tear the darkness apart. Even if you end up in a sea of blood in hell and your body will be shattered to pieces for this, you will never regret it!
Dulin's second stop was Montel. He had great hopes for this place. Once the market in Montel could be opened, it would not only bring him huge wealth, but also improve the lives of the local Guart people. , go up a level. This is a relatively more open place. In addition to tourists from within the empire, there are also many tourists from outside the empire. The collision of multiple cultures makes the people living here highly receptive to new concepts. Once the status of the Guart people changes, a linkage effect will quickly occur and radiate out, allowing tourists who come here to feel the difference of the Guart people. Only people's views on the Guart people have changed. They Only then can we get more fair treatment.
Du Lin knew very well that a small group of people could not change the fate of the entire race, but when this small group of people led a large number of people to stand up, the fate would quietly change.
Nearly a quarter of this shipment, or 3,000 cases of wine, was destined for Montel. There is a month to fight for fire. Even if Sebrai is a fool, I am afraid that he should have secured a large territory by this time, right? Once he has a territory, people who are unwilling to be left alone will join him. With more people joining, whether for his own benefit or to better manage these people, he must expand outwards, and this is also one of Dulin's plans.
But after he arrived at Montel, he felt that the situation here seemed a little different.
This time Sebre did not receive Dulin in his small restaurant, but arranged to stay in the most luxurious hotel in Montel. He could understand the reason why Sebre did this, but what made him feel strange was that he stayed The five fellow members did not come to greet him.
After giving instructions to Dover and Ellis, Dulin changed his clothes and went to the restaurant to meet Sebre.
At this time, Sebrai has changed a lot from the last time he came. He is wearing expensive formal clothes. Every stitch is so fine that it is almost difficult to notice. His hair has been trimmed, his smooth and fat face is fairer, and even his wrists are covered with hair. I brought a diamond-encrusted watch that cost almost 3,000 yuan.
"I was still thinking about whether I should give you a call. I don't have much in hand, and you're already here. It's so timely!" Sebray sat across from the dining table, ten fat as carrots. The same fingers were intertwined, and the two sapphire rings exuded a faint luster.
Du Lin smiled and said, "All sold out?"
Sebrai nodded, "It's so popular. People are rushing to get it. How many did you bring this time?"
"Three thousand boxes!"
Sebre laughed with satisfaction. Three thousand boxes equals thirty-six thousand bottles, which means he has an income of more than ten or two hundred thousand. He has never seen such a profitable business. No wonder those smuggling gangs are all vicious. . With such a huge profit, I'm afraid even the rich will be tempted, right? But he is a little better than those people. He does not need to take any risks, someone will deliver the goods to his door, and he can enjoy the benefits.
His attitude toward Du Lin became even more enthusiastic. No one would have a grudge against money. He immediately asked someone to take out the last payment and put it all together in a beautifully packaged box. He patted the suitcase and said, "The payment is a penny, and I will personally give you a small gift." He pushed the beautifully packaged small box to Du Lin's left hand and urged with an expectant look on his face: "Take it apart and take a look. If you don't like it, I'll replace it for you."
Dulin didn't like Sebrai's tone, but he didn't care. Anyone who suddenly became rich from poverty would have a slight change in mentality and personality. It could be said to be bloated, or it could be said that he didn't know how high the sky was.
He turned the gift box over twice, looked at Sebrai, and then opened the box. There is a gold watch in the box. Such a gold watch costs at least 5,000 yuan to buy. Say you don't like it, after all it is a gift from someone else, even if you don't like it you still have to say you like it. But let's just say I like it. To be honest, Du Lin didn't notice this kind of watch worth several thousand dollars at all. Maybe he would have cared about it more than a year ago, but as a powerful person who has made more than "100 million" in transactions, he really doesn't like this thing.
He didn't like Sebre's character of squandering money as soon as he had a little money. In Dulin's opinion, only a small part of the money Sebre earned belonged to him, and more belonged to other Guarts. He does not have the right to touch other people's money.
Therefore, there was no expression of surprise on his face. He just nodded and showed a faint smile, "You are interested. The thing is very good. I will accept it."
.
Sebre didn't care what Dulin's expression was, all he wanted was for Dulin to accept this thing. The chefs started serving the food at this time, and both of them closed their mouths in time. After the chefs left, Du Lin tucked the food in his collar and asked, "Where are my friends? Why didn't you see them?"
Sebrai replied without any pause: "They are in the north of the city now, and there are still some things they need to deal with over there."
He answered very quickly and there was no change in his expression. Du Lin secretly observed for a while and accepted the answer with some doubts. While dividing the steak on the plate, he asked: "It seemed to be very peaceful here when I came here. How did you coordinate with other local wine merchants to resolve this kind of thing peacefully? To be honest, I am very curious. It’s a big deal!”
Sebre put down his knife and fork and wiped his greasy lips with a napkin. Every time he spoke, the fat on his cheeks would tremble with the opening and closing of his lips, which looked a little funny. He shrugged his shoulders, "I think there is nothing that cannot be negotiated. The key is to be sincere!" He stretched out a finger and nodded casually, "To put it bluntly, we are all doing business, there is nothing wrong with it. Hatred, as long as we can find a bottom line acceptable to both parties, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. "
He puffed up his chest, and the buttons of his shirt might be a little painful. He looked very proud, "I am a businessman, Mr. Dulin, please don't ignore my instinct as a businessman!"
If the person sitting opposite him is a naive idealist, he might really be able to be fooled. But who is sitting opposite him? That was Du Lin, a human spirit who climbed up from the bottom quickly.
When Sebrey said the word "negotiation," Dulin knew he was lying.
The profits from bootlegging are even coveted by the rich. The reason why they don't touch these is not because they don't look down on the profits here, but because they have to take into account their own dignity and social responsibility. Of course, it can also be said that at this stage, their desire for money has decreased and they have begun to pursue political power, but this does not mean that the rich are not interested in bootlegging. If there was no Prohibition, what would these gangs do
Moreover, he did not see any members of the hometown association. You must know that he is the president of the hometown association. His coming here is not an unexpected choice, but has been notified in advance. Even if those members are really in trouble, they will definitely find a way to come over. But Sebrai kept changing the topic, which made Dulin feel a little shadowy. He suspected that those members might be dead.
He is a good-tempered person. First of all, everyone must be reasonable. At the same time, he is not a good-tempered person. As long as the rules he sets are violated, he will get angry. When good people are angry, they are sulky, but when bad people are angry, they are stormy!
Combining the before and after and his testing of Sebre, Dulin concluded that Sebre lied. He put down his knife and fork, touched his lips with a napkin, took a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it, and took a puff, "Let my people come over. This time, in addition to delivering goods, I'm here. To take them back."
Sebre interrupted with a playful smile, "They won't be back for a while, so why don't I take you around for a while first? I know there is a place where a group of girls from the east have recently come, and they are the same as ours. The people are very different.”
Du Lin nodded slightly, hooked his fingers, "Extend your hand, I have something for you."
Sebrai was stunned for a moment, with a look of joy on his face, "Then why are you so embarrassed?" He looked at Du Lin, who had a faint smile on his face, but there was an unmistakable luster in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment, then slowly put his chubby hand on the table and stretched it out.
