"Mr. Mayor, there have been a lot of outsiders in the city recently, and they don't look like... good people!" Thomson tried his best to maintain his demeanor in front of the Lord Mayor and did not say any dirty words. , but replace him with someone who is not a good person.
He was absolutely right. The huge development value and potential of this city had been revealed, especially when Saili's group of people took the tax payment certificates and documents and delivered the things to the place they wanted to send without any hindrance. The smugglers were shocked. It turns out that smuggling can be so fun! Although a lot of profits will be lost, stability is never more important. If one of the ten smuggling attempts fails, the money earned by their organization will basically be lost. If there are two failed smuggling attempts, they may be unable to recover.
Just like Saili's batch of goods, the profit of sixteen yuan for a bottle of wine seems very amazing, but in fact, this money does not belong to the organization boss alone. He must take the big part, and everyone else must take the small part. , and at the same time, reserve a part to prepare to open some joints at any time. However, if there is a problem during transportation, the boss will be the only one to bear the loss, and other organization members will not "crowdfund" a batch of goods to make up for the boss's losses.
Therefore, although profits have been reduced by half, the safe and stable channel has attracted everyone's attention. If this road can be maintained, at least in the next five years they will not need to consider expanding manpower and spending more money to open up various channels. Knuckles, just haul stuff to Otis and pay the tax.
With such convenient access, Otis is destined to have a brilliant future, so some organizations have begun to send representatives to Otis to occupy a place in order to have a certain say in this special world in the future.
These people are really not good people. How many good people can there be among smugglers? These guys who walk on the edge between survival and death all day long often take action if they disagree. Even if they kill someone, they will not be afraid. At most, they can just lift the person up, find an inconspicuous place and throw it away. Even if this kind of person pretends to be kind, there is absolutely no possibility of kindness. He is more like a hungry wolf.
The appearance of these people disturbed Otis' peaceful life. Some people found Thomson, who often visited the city hall, hoping that he could talk to the mayor about driving these people away. These people wandered around the streets all day long and even molested a little girl, which made some old people here very angry. These people shouldn't be here, they should be in the garbage.
Thomson conveyed the people's "petition" to Dulin in a very complete manner. After hearing this, Dulin thought for a moment, said "I understand", and let Thomson leave.
This is the result of the local compatriots not cooperating with him. Since those people are satisfied with the status quo and are not willing to be manipulated, they can only tolerate this situation temporarily. In five days at most, these matters can be completely resolved, because Carter's people are about to arrive. But this does not mean that the good days of the locals are coming, the result will be exactly the opposite!
After telling Thomson to get out, Dulin continued to lower his head and looked at some things recorded in the notebook. He once thought that there was no need for a city management agency to build overly exaggerated buildings, but he didn't understand until it was his own turn. When you stand in front of a solemn and solemn building that makes you feel insignificant and burdened with a heavy sense of oppression, and... standing in front of this four-story building that can almost be called a dangerous building, your state of mind is absolutely Different!
No matter how arrogant a person is, they must restrain their bad temper in front of the former, and even if they encounter some unbearable situations, they will try their best to endure it. But the latter... seems to be a place for such people to advertise their existence. A building without dignity will lower the value and class of the people working in the building. Think back to the town hall in Ilian, and then think back to the town hall in Turnel. Without exception, they are both solemn and solemn buildings.
Therefore, the first thing Dulin wanted to build was the city hall. He was fed up with it.
Of course, he is definitely not doing it for his own enjoyment, absolutely not.
He walked to the map of the city, and his heart ached a little when he saw the messy planning. To be honest, although the current urban planning of Otis City is messy, it occupies good places. It is like a reverse "D" , the old town is at the bottom of the bowl. Whether it is the lighting, wind direction or living conditions, it is more pleasant. If a new urban plan is rebuilt opposite the old city, it will not only cost a lot, but the environment will not be as good as here.
Should we demolish it
Du Lin touched his chin, and some stubble began to poke at his hand. After all, he was already nineteen years old according to his age, so he could be considered an adult. It seems as if that guy hasn't grown a beard yet. I'm a little envious of that smooth chin, which doesn't need to be taken care of all day long. Thinking about it, he started to drive fast. After a while, he thought of Mrs. Vivian and Dufo's child...
If Dufo hadn't opened the door and walked in, he might have been thinking wildly for a while.
Seeing the half-smiling expression on Du Lin's face and the playful smile in his eyes, Du Fu looked down at his own clothes and patted them a few times. He stretched out his hands and turned around, asking somewhat inexplicably: "Is there something on me?"
Du Lin shook his head as he walked back to the chair and sat down. He leaned back and looked at Dufo, "What's the matter?"
Except for Dover, even Kena has to knock on the door, because that guy has not passed Dulin's certification, and currently there are only a few people who have this honor.
Duffer walked directly to Du Lin and sat down, crossed his legs and took out a cigarette, "Brother Andy is here..."
The Andilin brothers are an anomaly among the Nanolindes. They do not smuggle, but their income is closely related to smuggling. To put it simply, they are the kind of car gangsters and road bullies. They pinch the soft persimmons when they encounter them, and treat those who are more powerful than themselves as grandpas. This is a typical guy who bullies the weak and fears the strong. But it turns out that such an unpleasant guy is still doing very well in Nanolindes.
After they robbed the goods, they would not swallow them. After all, they had no channels for smuggling and were unwilling to do so. They will extract a certain amount of revenue and help the other party deliver these things to their destination. To put it bluntly, it is an alternative kind of protection fee. Many small forces are unwilling to fight with the Andy brothers for small losses. If they don't harm the interests of the big forces, the big forces will treat them as if they can't see them.
They cleverly found a niche for themselves to fit in. They are the kind of guys that even dogs hate them.
There were about thirty people in their hands, all of them fierce and fierce, and everyone gradually got used to their presence.
Needless to say, these people come to Otis to find work here.
They were smart enough not to touch the official transport vehicles. They knew they couldn't afford to touch them. They used to live in Namirindes because they had their intelligence sources there and could know how much stuff was loaded on which vehicle by who. . Now the smugglers plan to put their smuggling base in Otis City. Some people have even discussed that the smuggled steam locomotives will not stop at Namirinds and go directly to Otis to unload, forcing them to move their positions.
After hearing this, Du Lin nodded noncommittally and picked his fingers casually, "Someone is coming over in a few days. Arrange for someone to keep an eye on them. If necessary, you can give a warning." There is actually half a sentence behind it, If the warning is ineffective, send them back to the arms of God.
Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Du Lin and other officials. Other officials would also think of finding another group of people to check and balance this group of people, or to drive tigers and devour wolves, or to kill people with borrowed knives. How could Du Lin be so indiscriminate? The other party might Just came here to take a look and wanted to kill them all? Perhaps it was precisely because Du Lin was so unreasonable that it was possible to suppress these people before the rules were established.
Duffer nodded to express his understanding. Just as he was about to stand up, his butt lifted off the chair, and he sat back down again, "What exactly is in that box?"
Kina told him it was a fishing rod, but Du Fu believed it and felt that Kina might not be very good in his mind. But the problem now is that he feels that there is no fishing rod in the box, which means that his own brain is not very good, and coupled with curiosity, he wants to know why Du Lin is willing to take Ji out. You must know that nothing they do is in compliance with the rules, which makes it difficult for outsiders to truly integrate into this group.
"You have to ask yourself, let me tell you a secret, that guy is not very resistant to women!" Dulin kicked the ball back to Dover, and at the same time wanted to verify whether Gida could gain his trust.
Why did Du Lin bring Du Fo without anyone else? It's because Du Fu has been outside since he was very young. He has seen many scenes and been in prison. He is also very smart and can guess Du Lin's thoughts very accurately. That's why Du Lin brought him here with him. There are some things that you can understand in your heart, but you must never say them out loud. If it had been Jose, he might have kept asking. If it had been Ellis, he might have gone looking for a few girls.
No one has to worry!
Early the next morning, people who had just woken up from their sleep walked out of their homes and saw the notice posted on the wall outside. The literacy rate in Otis City is generally low, so groups of people crowd together in the streets.
"This is a notice..." Dewell looked at the notice on the wall. After reading it, he explained it to everyone in a way that everyone can understand. "The city hall plans to rebuild the city and half of the houses will be demolished and rebuilt." Build…start with the city center!”
The crowd, which had been quiet for only a short time, suddenly erupted into more doubts, making Dewell's head boil.
It's just that he himself is also curious, is it necessary to build such a city
