"Every household, I will give you 10,000 yuan!" When Du Lin said this, even the faces of those citizens who had relocated showed expressions of excitement, and some even wanted to stand up. They walked towards the small group of people, but Du Lin's words dispelled their impulse and thoughts.
"However, after you take the money, leave Otis City immediately. On behalf of this city, I tell you people that you are not welcome here!"
Dulin looked at the others, "My promise is still valid. I will not only lead you to change this city, but also let the people outside who regard this place as garbage take a look, and let them know that their eyes may not be able to see this clearly." world, and I will also guarantee that most of you will become rich.”
"Ten thousand? That's just part of it!"
A young man stood up embarrassedly. He looked back several times, then lowered his head and asked, "Mr. Mayor, you said most people, but what about some people?"
Du Lin replied with a smile: "All hard-working people and those who are willing to pay can get the life I promised. But I cannot guarantee that everyone is hard-working and willing to pay. There will always be some people who do Daydreaming about pie and money falling from the sky. These people will not be included in my promises. I cannot let these people share the fruits of your efforts, it will be a shame for you!"
He patted his clothes a few times. There were construction sites all around, and the dust was really heavy. After standing for a while, some visible dust fell on his shoulders. He looked at the people who were a little embarrassed and unwilling to move, " I will let Director Haite deliver the money to you, and then I will send you away. Please don’t regret the choice you made today.”
After Dulin said this, he turned and walked towards the door of the city hall. At the moment he and Martin passed each other, he whispered: "Live in fear, Mr. Martin!", no one knew. He said something to Martin, and didn't even see him speak. He only saw him smiling at Martin and nodding, and then left.
Martin was stunned for a moment, and his face was suddenly full of anger. He was just about to tell Dulin's threat to him, but he saw the sparkle in those people's eyes. He knew that even if he said it, no one would believe it. Some people may even think that he is slandering Dulin. He clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, glanced at the useless trash, and turned around to leave.
Martin comes from Namirinds, and the mayor of Namirinds has already felt the threat from Dulin, especially when Governor Harry said in private chats that Dulin planned to penetrate the east and west mountains and build a railway. It was precisely because of this insignificant statement in Governor Harry's eyes that the mayor of Namirindes felt a sense of crisis.
The biggest problem in Otis City is transportation. When transportation was inconvenient and there was no railway, Otis City was as prosperous as Nanolindes today. Because people could just ride around those two mountains, and Odis City was considered one of the satellite cities of the imperial capital at that time, guarding the imperial capital against threats from the south. Any caravan going from the south to the imperial capital or to the north must be inspected in Otis City before passing, which ensures the prosperity of Otis City.
However, after the emergence of steam locomotives, the two mountains in the east and west directions of Otis City made the railway a reality. Residents or goods in other cities in the north who wanted to go to the imperial capital had to go to Nanolindes first. This was how Nanolin was created. Des' special status throughout the state.
If Dulin really penetrates two mountains, or launches a canyon that can accommodate steam locomotives, coupled with his current series of operations and the state's support for him, there is no doubt that Otis City will gradually take over the special status of Nano Lindes. At that time, the status of Namirindes will become very embarrassing. In order to save resources, the state will definitely withdraw its policies and favor the city of Otis. In the end, Namirindes will become an empty city.
A prosperous city can not only bring excellent political achievements, but also add wealth to one's wallet. Therefore, whether it is for political purposes or for his own interests, the mayor of Namirindes must do something. Do Dulin. Not to mention keeping Dulin going, at least we have to lag his development speed. After these four years have passed, he goes to other places or gets promoted and leaves Nanolindes, and then Dulin can develop.
By then, neither Namirinds nor Otis City will have anything to do with him, but not now.
Dulin's identity is not a secret within the new party, especially after the concept of special zones attracted the attention of the new party leader Maggs, Dulin and the things he did have been deeply excavated. Being a bootlegger was nothing new, and people even found out that he had been in jail and even joined the old party. He had few secrets left, except those that were still vague and inconclusive.
However, Martin may not know that clearly. If he really knows Dulin as well as the top leaders of the new party, he may not be willing to come to Otis City to embarrass Dulin. You must know that the party whip has said that Dulin is a poisonous snake. You may not have a chance to spot him before he attacks, but by the time you find him attacking, you may have been bitten by him and injected venom into your body.
After returning to the office, Dulin immediately called Haidt and asked him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Martin. Be sure to monitor this guy to see who he contacted, and list the information of the people he contacted. If necessary, Just arrest people according to the list.
To deal with such a small person, according to Du Lin's previous approach, the easiest way is to make him disappear and directly eliminate this scourge physically. But it is a bit inappropriate to do so now, especially since Martin opposed Dulin in front of so many people. If he disappeared, the people behind him would definitely use his death to make a fuss. Therefore, Martin cannot die in the short term. After the incident has passed for a period of time, he will find an opportunity to send this guy to see God.
After signing a few documents, Dulin locked the office door from the inside. He sat on the chair and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed Kevin's number. He needs Kevin's help for next week's hearing. Although this guy is a vampire, he is indeed very capable, and the most important thing is that his connections in the imperial capital are far deeper than Dulin.
Kevin was also very happy when he heard Dulin's voice, which meant that he had another large amount of money. This guy was born to be a money-eating devil. As long as he was fed, he was willing to do anything. All can be done.
"I heard that you are going to attend a hearing next week, so I have prepared some materials in advance." Before Dulin spoke, Kevin first said what Dulin wanted to ask. He has many informants and acquaintances in the judicial department. After all, the lawyer profession is inherently related to the law. Sometimes he is the devil's advocate, and sometimes he doesn't mind becoming the embodiment of justice, provided that the employer has enough money to hire him.
Anyone who can afford Kevin would definitely not mind spending some money to let him lobby some key people, so this guy used his employer's money to build a network of relationships for himself. In Dulin's words, this is A bitch.
Kevin's words blocked what Du Lin was about to say in his throat. He snorted, and then reluctantly asked: "How much do you plan to charge me? Hell, I helped you clean up Anpu last time." , you have to give me a discount."
"Two hundred thousand, this is a friendly price. You have to know how much I'm worth now. One conversation costs three thousand, and I have to get at least 15% of the cases I represent!", Kevin's voice said. Full of joyful emotions, it must be said that after winning Anpu, his value has skyrocketed again, and even law firms now respect his opinions. He has gone from being a partner to being one of the shareholders of the law firm and even sitting on the board of directors.
Some time ago, Kevin helped a rich man fight a divorce lawsuit. The case involved a controversial distribution of seven million funds. In the end, he helped the evil rich man win the lawsuit with shameless, despicable and despicable means, allowing him to His first wife almost left the house. For this reason, the rich man has to pay him 1.05 million in addition to various normal expenses. And this is why the poor are most afraid of lawsuits, and it is also why the rich will file lawsuits whenever something happens.
The saying "I'll sue you until you can't even put on your pants" is not an exaggeration, but a reality.
For example, a rich man sued a poor man for slandering him, causing damage to his reputation and causing the failure of a business that was originally successful, and asked the poor man to compensate him for the loss of one million. The court accepted the case, so the poor now has only two choices. Hire a good lawyer to win the case. He does not need to pay the rich man a penny, but he has to pay the lawyer a fee.
According to the lawyer's fee level, ranging from 3% to 15% like Kevin's, which means that even if he wins the lawsuit, he will have to spend at least 30,000 yuan to pay the lawyer to win the lawsuit for him. fee, otherwise the lawyer would take him to court for breach of contract.
If the poor person does not hire a lawyer and allows the court to arrange a defense lawyer, then he may lose the case and, based on the evidence submitted by the rich person, compensate the judge for a huge amount of compensation, and then face financial sanctions because he cannot afford the compensation. .
Therefore, in this society, you must not offend the rich or the lawyers, otherwise your family will be ruined if you are not careful.
After hearing Kevin's offer, Du Lin agreed angrily. Two hundred thousand was just a drop in the bucket for him now, and it still couldn't make him feel any physical pain. "What should I do to impress those people at the hearing?"
