The purpose of Dulin's promotion of ID cards is to give the residents of Otis City a sense of class superiority. I am riding on the "citizens" of this city. When all locals and people who are willing to settle here begin to taste this When they taste sweet, they will become vested interests - ruthlessly exploiting outsiders based on the city and then providing them with benefits. Only in this way will they become Dulin's most die-hard supporters.
At the same time, he will unswervingly maintain the rules of the game set by Dulin. No matter who becomes the mayor, he will not be allowed to change this.
Only in this way can Dulin's interests here be guaranteed.
You must know that he bought more than 60% of the land in the entire city plan in advance. This is a super investment that will increase in value infinitely!
Dulin was busy, and others in the city hall were not idle either.
Hugson watched Dulin leave the city hall from the window, then tidied up some scattered documents on the table, checked his clothes, put his hands in his pockets and slowly left his office. If his behavior was seen by his elders, he would definitely be scolded. He didn't look aristocratic at all, but he liked it very much. Instead of leaving City Hall, he went to find Donald.
He and Donald are both "transfer students". They are both outsiders to this city and this city hall building, so there is a natural feeling that "we are in the same team."
When he opened the door of Donald's office, Donald was still looking at the pace and philosophy of Dulin's governance after arriving in Otis City. Donald is not an arrogant person. He knows that he was able to become a city councilor at the age of thirty-three not because of his efforts, but because of the people behind him. He still has a little trouble. The trouble is that the people behind him and the resources of those people have been completely used up the moment he became a member of the parliament.
Some resources are renewable resources, but political resources are obviously not among them. No one can help him on the next road, he can only rely on himself.
He knew very well that this opportunity was rare, so he hoped to learn more. Even though Du Lin was thirteen years younger than him, he did not look down upon Du Lin in the slightest. Compared to Dulin, he knew that he was still far behind.
Bangbangbang's knock on the door made him come back to his senses from his desk. He raised his head and glanced at Hagerson who was leaning at the door in a daze. It took a few seconds for his eyes to regain clarity. "Is something wrong?"
Hageson walked into Donald's office without any courtesy and sat down. He looked at the difference between this office and his own, and said at the same time: "After get off work, guys, let's have some drinks together tonight?"
Only then did Donald notice the passage of time. He raised his wrist, glanced at it, and patted his forehead. "Time passed so fast..." He sighed. He had figured out many things in the copy he had read all afternoon. He didn't understand, it made him feel inadequate. I rubbed my dry eyes. I have been very tired these past few days. I am mentally exhausted. Maybe it would be a good idea to relax.
He immediately agreed to Hagerson's invitation. Both he and Hagerson were from noble backgrounds. It is precisely because their identity and status are much higher than others that they understand better than others that the new party and the old party did not have the same atmosphere of life and death enemies. Some family members of high-ranking officials in the old party are still members of the new party, and the brother of Maggs’ wife is still a member of the old party.
Donald cleared the desktop, closed the office door, and the two of them wandered out of the city hall building.
"When I come to work every day, I see those huge pillars, which give me a very depressing feeling." Standing outside the city hall, Donald couldn't help but express his inner feelings. Those few pillars require five or six people. The hugging pillars have an extremely exaggerated visual impact. Standing among the pillars and walking through the area, you always feel your own insignificance.
"Then you should go and see the temple behind Parliament Hill!" Hageson did not directly comment on his statement, but offered another opinion, "When you see the temple on Parliament Hill, you You will feel that this is the case here.”
During the period when the Pope ruled the world, the church built a total of twelve temples, all of which were on towering mountain tops. They firmly believed that the closer to the sky, the closer to the gods. Later, due to various reasons, the church eventually declined. Some temples were destroyed by the angry royal power, but some remained.
The temple on the top of the mountain behind Parliament Hill is one of them. It is 2,133 meters above the ground and is an isolated peak. The entire building is simple and looks like it is unfinished. There are no colorful stained glass, no walls carved with various stories, not even a statue of a god. The entire temple has only one huge dome, which is supported by twelve huge pillars. There are no walls.
There is a brazier in the middle of the temple that remains burning all year round - a priest climbs up every day to add oil to the brazier.
While chatting, the two found a bar not far away, a newly opened bar. Because this is a special administrative area and because it has its own laws, many things that are illegal in other areas or are somewhere between illegal and not illegal have ample room for survival here. This is the third bar opened this week. It is very popular. There are already more than 20 young people lining up at the door.
Hagerson and Donald went directly to the VIP channel, for which they needed to exchange tokens of no less than two hundred yuan. In the city of Otis, bar tokens seem to have become a trend, and all the bars that have opened are using these tokens. There are five levels of tokens, one, five, twenty, one hundred and five hundred. They look like an enlarged coin, with a pure copper base and a ring of silver inlaid around the edge. The hundred-dollar token is inlaid with gold.
The front of the coin shows the new city hall of Otis, and the back has several rows of numbers and letters engraved on it, as well as a symbol representing money.
The tokens can be spent in any bar but are not exchanged for cash or given in change. This made many people feel strange, but considering that this is likely to be the "feature" of Otis City, everyone gradually accepted it.
All Hageson asked for were tokens of twenty yuan, and he exchanged them for two hundred yuan, which was enough for their consumption tonight, and there might be some extra. These tokens can be taken away, so he doesn’t worry about wasting them if he doesn’t spend them all.
The decor of the bar is edgy and the girls are beautiful and look hot.
"Two glasses of Ice and Snow World." Hagerson had already been to a bar once. He directly ordered a concoction that could not be drunk elsewhere. There were several colors and flavors. He liked it very much. They found a seat slightly to the side and sat down. After ordering drinks, he asked, "What do you think of this place?" and then added, "I mean this city."
Donald thought for a while, "I don't know how to describe it. Generally speaking, it's not much different from other places, but there are a lot of changes in some details. For example...", he looked at the edge of the bar and drank. "Liquor can be sold openly here, and there is no contraband investigation bureau. Some things that cannot be bought elsewhere can be sold here openly."
Hagerson also feels this deeply. Getting some Grimace Mushrooms in other places is like suffering. He needs to go to dirty alleys to deal with street gangsters who are not good people at first glance, and he has to use code words. Occasionally, a police patrol car passes by, and those guys disappear into the darkness in an instant, making it extremely difficult to find them back.
But here..., as long as you have money, you can buy everything this empire has!
While talking, a girl wearing a strange open helmet came over. She was wearing very cool clothes, and there were two glasses of special cocktails on the tray in her hand. The rim of the cup and the first layer are silvery white, and hang down along the wall of the cup, like an inverted mountain peak. Under the first layer, it is dark blue, then light blue, and finally Pink and fiery red.
The girl placed two glasses of wine on the table, and Hagerson threw a twenty-dollar chip to the girl. The girl smiled sweetly and said thank you before turning and leaving. Hagerson's eyes stayed on the girl for a while before he looked away. He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Donald, and took a sip, "This place is like a bloody mouth, swallowing countless funds and never spitting them out!"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and there was a slight change in his eyes. The difference in origin meant that he observed the world from a different angle and height. He immediately realized why this was a special zone and why there was such a thing. His eyes quickly fell on the tokens rolling in his hand. He had a vague thought that he was unwilling to admit or continue to think about. This made him feel an indescribable feeling.
He had already cursed when he was holding an ordinary ice cream in his hand and saw someone holding a tub of ice cream, but now he saw an iceberg, an iceberg made of ice cream.
Draft it
Both of them fell silent. They were obviously out to have fun, so why did they feel like fools
Exhausted!
"Forget it, why are you thinking so much? Let's have some fun!"
At midnight, two young men stumbled out of the VIP aisle. They were surrounded by several young girls, and the atmosphere was particularly harmonious!
