I haven’t seen him for more than a month. Buck has become darker and thinner, but he is also more energetic.
He was still a little nervous when facing Du Lin. The name Du Lin and the deeds under this name made him know what awe was. Maybe his parents never taught him to be reverent, but here, he has learned it.
The direct reason for this result came from the east coast. The initial destination for him and Edward was the imperial capital. As a cultural and political core area of the empire, there are naturally many academic celebrities, and the headquarters of some private hospitals are also established in the imperial capital.
With the help of Edward, a bastard in the academic world, they met many scholars and doctors who were well-known in the empire. However, it was a pity that the other party looked down upon them, or in other words, looked down upon the city of Otis behind them. For these scholars and doctors who hang out in the imperial capital, what they pursue is no longer simple money. They have already had more ambitious pursuits and ideals. It is not easy to impress them with money.
Then the two of them saw the reality clearly. Compared with the strong political atmosphere in the north of the empire, the atmosphere in the south and east coast was more open. The people who worked there pursued a relatively simple pursuit, which was money. After wasting a week in the imperial capital, Buck and Edward took a boat to the east coast. East Coast The East Coast is one of the most economically developed regions in the empire. The more developed the region, the more thieves there are. As soon as they arrived in a city, they were targeted by a group of thieves, and their belongings were naturally stolen.
The two people went to the police station to report that their things had been stolen. The police also took notes for them, but told them before they left that the case might not be solved.
There are more than one million people in the city. It is not difficult to find a few thieves among these people. What is difficult is to find the thieves who stole their things. It is very difficult.
The police resources of any city are limited, and it is impossible to waste the city's meager police force on a theft case. The police did not lie, did not let them live in an impossible fantasy, and even told them that if there was news in the future, If so, we will contact them.
Who knows when, maybe the thief will be found in a few days due to a private transaction of contraband, or maybe the thief will never be caught in his lifetime.
Buck mentioned Dulin's name in frustration because their money and some information were in the stolen trolley suitcase. They were now penniless and had no other option but to ask Du Lin for help. Unexpectedly, the policeman who received them heard Buck saying the name "Dulin" and chased him and asked if he was Dulin from Ilian. Buck immediately told him that it was Mr. Dulin of Ilian's three hundred and fifty thousand.
The police invited them back to an employee lounge in the police station, where there were not only billiards but also some other small toys for relaxation. Fifteen minutes later, the policeman appeared in their room carrying their lost trolley case. before.
"Can you two please check, is there anything missing?"
Buck glanced at the policeman, and he and Edward began to count the contents of the trolley case. Just when he was about to say that nothing was missing, Edward suddenly interrupted - the money was wrong.
Buck looked at him, and he nodded to Buck. When they were on the boat, Edward counted them in the cabin. They had a total of thirteen hundred dollars in cash, as well as some scattered coins and small denomination banknotes, which added up to about It looks like thirty or forty yuan. But here there are fifteen hundred yuan, and the change is more than fifty yuan. How can this be right
However, before Edward could explain, the police asked them to take a short break and then left for five minutes.
Five minutes later, he walked in with two thousand yuan in cash and said with a smile: "The thief who stole your things confessed that he had hidden two thousand yuan. They are all here. You can click on them again."
When Buck and Edward got the intention of several scholars and doctors to leave the city, they bought a local newspaper. There was a photo in the newspaper of a man hanging from a street lamp on the outskirts of the city. The newspaper wrote an article about the photo, naming the man as a thief who might have been executed by a local gang for stealing something he shouldn't have.
With deep fear, the two men, one large and one small, traveled all over the east coast tirelessly, and finally completed everything Du Lin ordered them to do.
Standing in the office at this time, Buck felt very nervous and realized that sometimes what he saw might not be true. Who would have thought that just because of a name, something that was almost impossible to retrieve would appear in front of them in fifteen minutes, and even cause a person to lose his life.
Edward beside him has also put away his aura of academic veteran, and even has some humility.
None of them told anything about what happened during the journey. As for why they did this, they themselves didn't know.
"So we have enough manpower in hospitals and schools?" Dulin looked at the two lists they brought, which contained the expected salaries of those scholars and doctors, as well as their resumes. Du Lin glanced at it casually. These people could not be said to be the best, but they were not the worst either. They could be used. He closed the two lists and put them in a drawer. This was one of the next main tasks in Otis City.
A city can have no entertainment places, but it must have hospitals and higher-level schools. He was deeply touched when he went to be hospitalized in Namirindes this time. If there was a hospital in Otis City, he wouldn't have to run to Namirindes with his bleeding arm and his face a little pale. Everything could be done here.
Both of them responded, and Du Lin showed a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded, "You have done a good job, and I will keep an eye on the rest. I will give you three months. I saw the establishment of hospitals, high schools and universities. Give me a budget for the specific costs. I don’t have many requirements. It must be advanced and beautiful.”
After sending these two guys away, Du Lin was busy with what he was doing for a while. Suddenly he put down his pen and was a little curious about what the Cape family would do next.
But what he didn't expect was that this move was not used on him, but on Mags.
According to the idea of the head of the Cape family, Dulin would have called him anyway after seeing the autographed letter, but in fact he did not. Not only was there no phone call, there wasn't even a message from anyone, which made him realize that he had tried his best to resolve the conflict, but Du Lin didn't seem to accept this trick. So he made a call to Maggs, hoping to accomplish the purpose of the consortium through other means.
If Dulin is still unwilling to compromise, then there is no need for them to fight Dulin to the death. If Otis City can't do it, then other places can do it
The Anthem Consortium made a very gorgeous investment project plan and gave it to Mags. Then the head of the Cape family contacted Mags and told him that if the Anthem Consortium could get a casino elsewhere, With a business license, they will invest in local projects with a total amount of no less than 20 million, and promise to provide at least 20,000 jobs to help the empire develop a city as much as possible.
This request was rejected by Magus, who preferred Dulin's plan to this one.
So things seemed to be stuck here until Harry contacted Dulin again.
"I always thought you were a very generous person, but I didn't expect that you haven't forgiven them yet. Is it because they are not sincere enough?" Harry's tone was not so stiff this time, with a somewhat persuasive tone. Last time he talked to Du Magers did not express his position after Lin's quarrel, which made him realize that Du Lin's current status is very special and not easy to move. A mature politician will never have an unshakable political position. In the past he was a decadent aristocrat, and now he is a member of the enlightened new party. Nothing is eternal.
Dulin chuckled, "Harry, this matter is related to the overall layout of Otis City. It's not that I don't want to provide them with some convenience, but that their requirements will destroy my planning and design of the city. What I need It’s a real special zone, not someone’s playground.”
"Is it true that you can't even make some adjustments?" Harry sighed, "Som hopes to meet and communicate with you. By the way, he is the current head of the Cape family. He is not in good health and can come from the north in person. I believe he is sincere when he comes to see you in the imperial capital. Do you want to see him? "
"I'm very busy at work and don't have time for the moment."
Facing Dulin's rejection, Harry had already expected it. He said a few indifferent words and then hung up the phone. It was obvious that the conflict would definitely escalate this time, because the Cape family showed the greatest sincerity. Som's body was no longer able to allow him to work for long periods of time, so the fact that he was willing to come to the Imperial Capital to talk to Du Lin in person could explain a lot of problems. Dulin's refusal again made the situation that had eased slightly worsen, but this had nothing to do with him.
He shrugged his shoulders, checked his watch, and waited for about seven or eight minutes before there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in!" Harry adjusted his clothes a little, sat behind the desk and stammered expressionlessly.
A short fat man with a little too much wax on his hair walked in. He was wearing a plaid vest and a plaid windbreaker, which made him look even more bloated. He took off his hat, carried a suitcase, nodded and walked into Harry's office with a flattering smile.
This guy is a businessman, a very philistine businessman. He wants to take over a piece of land in Lizhua, but that land has already been purchased, but it has not been developed yet. He searched for connections and finally found Harry. This time he came here just to show his "sincerity" to Harry.
He calmly placed the suitcase next to the chair, with a flattering expression on his face, "Some of my own things, I hope you like it."
